Summary
After all, it’s at least partly his fault Itadori is here in the first place. It wouldn’t do well to be - cold, to him, on top of that. It would be the right thing, the more moral thing to do, maybe. To keep him at arms length to make sure that his miscalculations wouldn’t hurt Itadori again, wouldn’t put him in danger. Megumi doesn’t want to lull him into any false sense of security that the world of Jujutsu is fun and welcoming and about saving the world, because it isn’t. But...
He’s clearly making an effort to be friends. Megumi isn’t - he isn’t a cruel person. Not to those that don’t deserve it, and he isn’t a robot either, despite the jokes his classmates make. Itadori doesn’t deserve it.
With a sense of finality, he thinks: Tsumiki wouldn’t like it if he were unkind to Itadori, when Itadori was being kind to him. And that settles it.
---
Megumi falls in love bit by bit, inch by inch, the way the sole on your favourite pair of shoes wears in over time, or how the sun travels across the sky.

Summary
It’s in the middle of scanning the last bottle of green tea that Itadori properly looks up. Eye contact with him is a physical, unexpected shock, a crunch of imaginary static snapping through Megumi and leaving his hands twitching at his sides.
"Hey." Itadori blinks, wide and earnest. "Do I know you from somewhere?"
The tea sloshes backwards in the bottle he’s holding. Megumi focuses on this until his vision steadies.
"No," he says. "I don’t think so."
In the aftermath, Itadori loses his memories instead of his life. Megumi grieves nonetheless.

Summary
The inception doesn’t take and the consequences are dire. Fischer remembers Eames, Eames remembers nothing, and Arthur remembers everything.
Written for i-reversebang as a companion piece to this lovely artwork by Katie. Contains death of non-canon characters, references to in-canon character death, and references to trauma.

Bookmarker's Notes
Wow wow wow… bleak and smart and amazing. I think I heard my blood rush and had my heart irregularly close off its chambers several times. Need to read this when I’m off of melatonin and fighting for consciousness.

Summary
Ahhh… he hears echoing inside himself, every star of every solar system of every galaxy inside of him vibrating with a voice that sounds too much like his own. So this is him.
