Summary
Rhaast has surely never heard of hanahaki before this, though over the course of millennia he's forgotten lots of other important and not-so-important details. Names, faces, even feelings.
Memory is a journey and Rhaast will not undertake it alone, or else he and Kayn will both suffer the consequences.

Summary
It isn’t until Shirabu’s back at LOCCENT that it really sinks in. Forty-eight wins? An impressive number, true, and a definite sign of Ushijima’s strength, especially compared to Tendou. But in anyone else, an unbalanced score like that would indicate a depressingly low chance of drift compatibility.
Drifting with Ushijima was simple statistically, but potentially deadly realistically. And drifting with Tendou? A veritable nightmare. If not for Washijou’s insistence, Shirabu would have dropped him long ago.
Still, something is calling to him. Something beyond numbers and data projections.
Because Ushijima may have knocked Tendou down forty-eight times. But that means there were forty-nine times he got back up.

i was rereading that while walking and nearly hit two walls and a car, i was paying so little attention to my surroundings lma
the chronology of the scenes is sometimes a bit confusing, but damn if this isn't one of my favorite ushiten story. which is weird on the one hand bc neither toshi nor satori are pov characters, but totally understandable on the other because the entire shiratorizawa dynamics are ON POINT and i love this entire team to death -
The Case of the Man Who Two-Thirds Wasn't There by glisteningceruleaneyes
Fandoms: Disco Elysium (Video Game)
29 May 2022

Summary
Three-and-one-third bodies have been found in an abandoned vehicle on the riverbank.
It would be a challenging case even without the bad weather, weapons smuggling, white nationalists, industrial accidents, and the concept of pedigree dog breeds—but over it all hangs one troubling question: What is it that fascinates you about Kim Kitsuragi? Is it working class camaraderie? A sinister hex of mysterious origin? Did you imprint on him in Martinaise, like an amnesiac duckling? If you don’t figure out what’s going on soon, people are going to start to notice. Especially him.
And sooner or later? Everything is related to the case.

Summary
If rain brings Tendou joy, then Ushijima’s happy for him. It’s not something he’ll ever come to personally understand, and he’s certain that he’ll never share the same enthusiasm for water falling from the sky. Rainwater serves a few good purposes, namely helping plants grow and offering moisture to dry land. But Ushijima doesn’t need to be watered. Maybe Tendou does, though that wouldn’t necessarily make sense to Ushijima.
Unsurprising, because not much about Tendou makes sense to Ushijima in the first place. He supposes it doesn’t have to; he appreciates his friendship regardless, but he does wonder sometimes what it must be like to occupy the same headspace as him.

Ushijima’s mother is not sure what to make of the man her son brings home: he’s too loud, too particular, too fond of her son in a way she thinks is rather inappropriate.
Or, Ushijima Akemi watches her son’s relationship with Tendou change over the years and finds herself changing with it.

Summary
Something wasn’t registering in Tendou’s mind, that much was clear. "Obviously he’s missing a few details," Wakatoshi said. "But he’s handsome. He’s in an ad. And he makes me think of you."
The smile Tendou gave him made him feel like he’d started speaking in English or had grown a second left arm.
"You’re something else!" Tendou laughed. His whole mouth was open again, letting Wakatoshi see straight down his throat. "You tried to describe me and you decided to say that I have perfect hair and a perfect face and I look like I stepped out of an ad!"
"Yes. Because it’s true," Wakatoshi said, and that shut Tendou right up.

Nonstop civilian protest duty for over a month, the senate's latest hobby seems to be getting abducted for kicks, and now he had to deal with a camdroid shaped pain-in-the-ass following his every move. The powers that be seemed to think that putting him and the rest of the Guard in some holo was the best way to work up some civilian sympathy. Well, at least there was no way his day could get any worse...

This had got me feeling *so much*, of everything. I clicked that expecting a slow slice-of-life kinda deal and i am so happy to have been mistaken. This picks up fast, and I love it. I'm still emotional about stuff I don't even understand why I'm emotional about. Like, damn. This was something alright.

Summary
Finn moves ever so slightly, and Poe’s mouth goes slack, his eyes dipping shut. He moans Finn’s name in a way he’s never moaned Finn’s name before, quiet and pleading. He’s clenching down around Finn, head thrown back into the pillow, his chest rising and falling rapidly, and Finn realizes, with sudden clarity, He wants me to fucking wreck him.
It’s a bewildering thought.Bookmarked by drop_drops

Summary
There were two kinds of trolls who went to Earth: rich shitheads with too much money and free time, and desperate assholes who couldn’t survive on Alternia, even with the best efforts of the young Condesce. Karkat hated the planet almost immediately, but with his home planet too dangerous for mutants, he really didn’t have any choice but to hide out on this weird little diurnal planet. At least he’d be safe. Or so he thought, right before blundering his way into an accidental friendship with the son of an anti-troll terrorist.
Slow burn, shifting perspectives; romance really isn't the focus here but it'll still play a significant part; extra content warnings will be posted with each relevant chapter.

Very nicely done, solid AU and characterization. I was stupidly saddened by the lack of gamzee at times but that's very much a me problem, this was a gem. I'm feelingly profound, platonic love-hate for the dad. plus, just in general, i loved how we slowly learned more about how the war went for every now-adult, and idk, it was all interesting and shit. I can't be coherent right now alright

Found that one by total chance but boy am I glad I did. Sollux and Terezi are simply incredible in this, and the worldbuilding is on point without ever taking center stage, it does it's job with a beautiful simplicity. Sometimes I felt like I was reading a novel, and not a fanfiction - I'm not talking about quality here, but purely about writing style. Some of those descriptions felt like how novels' descriptions did, when I wasn't reading only fanfiction.
Anyway I'm rambling. This was great on every point. -

Summary
You ain't accustomed to taking hard looks at yourself, or thinking over what you see there, but there are eyes on you now, from your palemate and your flushed sweetheart and from all the stars in Alternia's sky. Maybe it's time to start looking.
In the aftermath of his crawl out of the gutter, a tired purple-blood shakes free of his drugs and his handlers and goes looking for something new. And in the process, finds some things are bigger and more important than he ever thought; his moirail, his new maybe-something-more friend, the Alternian Empire, and even himself. [Sequel]

I absolutely syarted reading this because I was curious about the formatting and got stuck in a ten hours binging spree. Very glad of it though. This is like three quarters sex scenes at LEAST and yet I absolutely stayed for the plot, I think that's a first. That was something alright!
