    Summary

    “You suspect you’re experiencing auditory and visual hallucinations?” The Doctor asks, clicking his pen against his notepad.

    “Uh,” Yuuji eyes the demonic carcass hanging off the doctor’s shoulder. “I’m a little bit more sure than that.” 

    ...

    Yuuji wakes up in the hospital with a voice in his head, a monster hanging off his doctor, and no memory of the past seven months. Certifiably insane, he moves in with his doctor who promises a cure and tries to figure out just what the hell he's been doing in Tokyo for the past year.

    Summary

    “What happened?” Gojo didn’t even bother with a greeting because he knew that for his junior to call, it had to be a life-or-death situation.

    “Mr. Wolf.” That was all he got from the other end of the call.

    Satoru’s phone almost slipped from his now-weak grip. It wasn’t a life-or-death situation. It was worse.

    Or: Three times Mr. Wolf returned safe and sound to Megumi's arms and one time it didn’t.

    Summary

    “Now will you listen to me?” the stranger says. “How did you even get up here?”

    “Same way you did,” Yuuji says. He can faintly hear the sound of someone singing from an apartment below.

    “I doubt that,” the stranger says. His eyes narrow.

    Yuuji shrugs. “What are you two investigating?” Yuuji asks. “By the way, I’m Itadori Yuuji.”

    The stranger sighs. “Fushiguro Megumi. Please, head back inside.”

    “Alright, fine,” Yuuji says. He walks back to the edge of the building and looks down. “I just need a second to figure out how to get back down without breaking anything.”

    “Don’t hurt yourself,” Megumi says.

    “I’ll be fine,” Yuuji says. “I mean I don’t want to break the building.”

    “What?” Megumi says. Yuuji’s already flipped over the edge.

    Yuuji lands in a crouch in a patch of grass. He brushes off his pants at the knees as he stands.

    “What are you, a gymnast?” Megumi calls from the roof.

    “No.” Yuuji squints as he smiles up at Megumi’s figure in the distance. “I’m a firefighter.”

    -

    Yuuji moved to Canada when he was 14. Kenjaku lost track of him. Canon happened without him.

    Seven years later, Yuuji comes back to Tokyo.

    Summary

    "Demonizing Yuji won't make him any easier to kill."

    Shoko does not walk around a point; she barrels towards it and leaves Satoru to pick up its pieces. But not for this. Satoru’s hands are red enough already, let him leave this where it lies.

    His voice gives, cracking in two when he finally gathers the strength to whisper, “It might.”

    “It didn't with Suguru.” Mentioning Suguru is taboo, like fucking in the pews of a church before marriage, semen running down the bride’s legs before she’s made a wife.

    “He was different,” he tries.

    Shoko turns around, pinning him under brown eyes that have no give. “Why? Because his choices were his own and he still picked the wrong ones?” She leans back against the counter. “Or because you were in love with him?”

    Satoru imagined an eternity for them stretched out like the horizon. He never saw the end until it greeted him with a hole in its chest and at least curse me a little at the end on its lips.

    “The love is different,” Shoko says, “but the pain will be the same.”


    In all the worst ways, Yuji is just like Suguru.
