OK, OK, OK. SO…this is a gift to Sal, @bluxboi (I’m sorry, Tumblr isn’t letting me @ you for some reason??), for the @kuraryouexchange. (Thank you to the mods for putting up with me) I meant to write a couple 1000 words, but this fic somehow became 8k….I hope you enjoy!!

T+ rating for language and suggestive content; minor miyusawa/misawa

“Ah, crap.”

“Yes! You’re buying me lunch today!”

Kuramochi would’ve glared at his friend Miyuki for bragging, but his eyes were preoccupied with his midterm instead. He stared down at paper, a mixture of disappointment and frustration as the big red, circled ‘60’ stared back at him. He had high hopes for this one, even looked it over multiple times before handing it in. But apparently that still wasn’t good enough.

“You shouldn’t stress out so much,” his friend Miyuki replied. “The upperclassmen even told us that your marks often drop in the first couple of years.” He gave Kuramochi a gentle pat on the shoulder.

“That’s not really convincing coming from someone who is doing just fine in this class,” Kuramochi retorted. “And don’t try to console me. That’s weird and uncomfortable coming from you,” he said as he shook off Miyuki’s hand.

to: Veccy from: starrwinter notes: So you asked for: ‘happy… sappy and in love’ and the first thoughts that flew into my head was shameless flirting / summer love situations from a summer job… and immediately something that had to involve hot boys, and cool water ;)

Rating: General Tags/Warnings: None

Notes: 

Summary: Secret relationships can be exciting at first, but introducing your parents to your post-delinquent boyfriend, years after you’ve been dating, is much less thrilling.

A mixture of meet the family, university au, & childhood au + age gap for the Kominato brothers.

Notes: This is my participation gift for the Kuraryou Exchange of 2018! Long live my otp! Thank-you, Steph, for the prompts (I used a few of them) and the flexibility for your gift. It was a lot of fun to create and I hope you enjoy it too! I’m a fan of your fanfics and I’ve always wanted to create some sketches for them!

Ryousuke and Haruichi are 7 years apart in this au and because the Kominato parents’ names have yet to be revealed in canon, I’ve had to come up with names that I believe would suit them.

Read it on Ao3!

Thanks for reading! ♡ I truly had the best time writing this! Fool Like Me was the song that motivated much of the story! Give it a listen. I’m not the best artist but I couldn’t help getting inspired enough to sketch some fanart.

He can’t count the number of times they’ve found themselves here, the last few weeks as winter comes to a close, lolling on the embankment, shivering in the crisp air. This’ll be one of the last, he guesses. There’s a faint sting to that, even though he knows it’s not really the end. That something like what they’ve got doesn’t just fade away.

@cheetahing and i did a little collab this year for @kuraryouexchange!

daiya no ace // kuraryou // kuraryou exchange // ao3

krry ex gift for @baserun! & @ewagan, also featuring art by hayley! anyway, thank you both so much for putting up with me, honestly. it’s been a tough year but you’ve both helped make it more bearable.

it’s raining when youichi wakes up, the air in ryousuke’s apartment close and humid. he’s gotten used to this space and its quirks and rhythms, the dark soft and familiar on his skin. the pale glow of ryousuke’s alarm clock on the nightstand is just the first constellation in a room youichi knows almost as well as his own, though the other side of the bed is empty and cool beneath his palm. two am. youichi lies still for a little longer, listening to the quiet noises of the building, trying to divine what woke ryousuke up. there’s no light creeping in beneath the bedroom door so whatever ryousuke’s doing out there, he’s doing it in the dark.

Pairings:Kominato Ryousuke/Kuramochi Youichi, implied mi/sawa Chapters:1/1 Length: 3,036 Tags: established relationship, magic, witch!ryou, hyena shifter!mochi, blood, flesh in the context that kuramochi eats it as a hyena, chain restraint, teasing, pranks kinda?, don’t be fooled by the title it’s still pretty serious/dark Rating: mature Summary:

Shifters aren’t considered rare by any means, but Youichi’s animal form probably would be. There aren’t very many hyena shifters, let alone striped hyenas.

Here’s my exchange fic for @a–ttano​! I hope you like it! (sorry I had some issues with scheduling it so it’s a couple mins late)

notes: i hope you enjoy this fic as much as i enjoyed writing it! sorry about the abrupt ending–consider it a “to be continued” ;)

To Live a Life That’s Free

For all the time he spends working to keep criminals off the streets, Ryousuke feels like the only person he’s ever really imprisoned is himself.

It’s a dramatic way to think about things, for sure, but he does a plenty lot of thinking about things that aren’t so ironic these days and if he doesn’t entertain the extremities of his mind every now and then he worries he’ll lose his sense of humor. (That’s a joke: as if he’d ever lose that sharp-tongued core to his personality.)

In all seriousness, though, working for the government doesn’t exactly promote what he considers a healthy amount of self discovery. Sure, he was hired for his particular skill set. Ryousuke knows he can offer things few others can, and he can stomach even more than any of them, he’s sure. He and his team have seen the worst of what humanity has to offer and he’s seldom so much as flinched. But he didn’t join Japan’s Asset Force to stagnate, and he didn’t work this hard just to put away serial criminals, rewarding a job as that is.

Then his skull cracks back against a brick wall, and he’s forced to resign himself to the fact that for now, he’s just going to have to settle.

to: @bubblysage from: Me! notes: I really, really hope you like this!!! When I saw you didn’t like angst, I was like, “Oh no…” I’m so much more of an angst master than anything else… But anyway, I hope you enjoy! Kinda a twist on Soul Mate AUs that I came up with a few years ago, and now I had an excuse to write about it!
