    Summary

    The mind strictly chooses the memories that are too hurtful to keep, locking them away in a veil of confusion and fear. What if the vault is forcibly open, and you're confronted with everything you've been hiding up until that point?

    Would you forgive yourself for being different, or would you blame the person who reminds you of who you are?

    Summary

    “Yoshiki?”

    “Hm?”

    “...You liked Hikaru, didn't you?”

    His body stilled. As warm as the night was, the bedsheets were suddenly unbearably cold. “...Yeah, of course. He was my best frien-”

    “No, like. You liked liked him. Like, uh. Like the Yasaburou heir.”

    Yoshiki was silent. I’m not sick. Or at least that's what he wanted to believe. He had the impression there were a million eyes staring at him from out the window, and another million eyes sprouting from the walls, a watermelon made only of seeds.

    “Did he like you back?”

    Summary

    Is it selfish to accept this love, if Hikaru never had any choice but to feel it?

    “Yoshiki, look! Mincemeat cutlets!”

    “What’re ya talking about?” Yoshiki squints against the blinding snow through his bangs. The snowfall is thin and wet. It’ll probably be gone by tomorrow, but the cold seeps into Yoshiki’s core. Winter has come early this year. 

    It’ll have been a year soon. So soon. Just a few more weeks.

    Time refuses to stop, more of a monster than anything else Yoshiki has encountered.

    Or: Yoshiki grapples with whether or not “Hikaru” has the autonomy to truly love him if his companionship is the result of fulfilling a wish.

    Summary

    Was it really so long ago that he’d been on that train—unmoored, adrift in musings of monotony and endless parades of summer?

    Years after Yoshiki left Kubitachi, Hikaru Indou’s life has settled into quiet duty: the shiitake farm, the sawmill, the ritual, the god. Days pass like identical pages in a book—until a chance reunion in Tokyo tears the spine apart and lets everything scatter to the wind.

    [Hikaru lives and ages and meets yoshiki in Tokyo as an adult AU]

    Summary

    He crosses his arms around his chest, hunching over himself. "So, um. Is it... real different than bein' in a human body?"

    It clicks at him again. There's an answering shiver in Yoshiki's ribs, a mix of fear and itchy curiosity. Against his better judgement he inches forward, lifting his hand into the space between them. The thing tracks his movements with a noiseless twitch.

    "Do you feel other things the same, too? Like... if I touch you, can you feel it?"
