First of all: Sorry, @wynnefic, for taking so long!! I hope you enjoyed the recs from last time, if you've managed to read them. If so/not, here's more!!

Now. The Recs

(Disclaimer: I will not be reccing @voxofthevoid-furious' fics, because if you haven't already found and devoured them all, I have no idea how to help you.)

Yuuji-centric

jujutsu kaisen

Frankenstein by catharsixii, which I already recced in this post (and the post and its replies have some good recs in them as well!!), but since then it's been updated and gained a relationship tag, though the ship isn't overt yet. It's canon divergent, taking place during the events of JJK 0 but before the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, and the first chapter already had me hooked so you can imagine how excited I was to see the second.

Heavy is the Crown by Ezallamir, a role reversal fic that takes place after the Shibuya Incident where Yuuji takes the place of Yuuta and vice versa, except they each keep their canon abilities. Author sticks to that fact faithfully, not just in terms of what the characters can do but how the world handles them, and it made for an amazing read, not just because of what we see happen but because of the background world-building the author implies so well.

I Just Sighed, the Universe Replied by Saturnniidae and Location Not Found. Rerouting. by srvipers are both crossover fics, both set in Boku no Hero Academia, but happening to different Yuujis--first Yuuji is fresh off the Shinjuku showdown, second mid-Shibuya Incident. Both of them do my favourite thing about crossover fics, which is digging into how goddamn buckwild both the crossover character and world look to each other. Neither of them are far in yet, but what's there is unique to each fic and very interesting!!

two six eight by siqwithaQ. Remember when I recced vessel of greatness and said it was pivotal to my understanding of sukuita (platonic and not)? Yeah, this is more of that. It Gets Them, both of them, and it's written in Sukuna's PoV which only makes it more insane. It's less than five hundred words. This fic is not a rec but a threat. I am holding a gun to your head. Read This Or Else.

Tyger, Tyger by Messier_47 is going here because it was posted before Modulo was, but it does feature post-canon Yuuji who's travelled back in time to unfuck the timeline. It's an absolute blast to read, fun and interesting both in premise and execution.

modulo

Ancient bonds hold strong, even when strings are frayed by miyaboozzzen, which is exactly what the summary promises. Very lighthearted and almost comedic.

Does It Matter? by TheCongo, which is a crossover fic set in the Frieren universe. Markedly different tone from the previous rec as well--Yuuji is not having a great time here. Neither are any of the demons he comes across. Fun look at this Yuuji's morals and experiences and strength running up against this world, and how the world and its people react to it.

Sanctuary of Future is by three different authors and falls into a strange category. If you look at the summary, you'll see why. The canon cast of Jujutsu Kaisen watch Modulo canon with Yuuji, except it's Modulo Yuuji they're watching it with. Very fun, though!! Amazing grasp on its ensemble cast and how they react to what they see, which is only more impressive to read because the fic is written in multiple PoVs.

Shallow Ends by SinningSaint is being tentatively recced in this category, because I straight up don't know for sure which Yuuji is in it, but it haunts me. Its first chapter is such a perfect hook I have not stopped checking on this fic since I found it. It's another crossover fic, set in the Naruto universe, so far told in the PoV of a Naruto character I wasn't even aware existed, but it's written so well and features such a compelling premise that I don't care. It currently only has one chapter and this fact haunts me, because I am so curious to see how the tags will show themselves in the fic.

The Father of Quirks by TheHonouredLarper is another crossover fic, set in Boku no Hero Academia like a couple of the others are, but unlike the others, it's Modulo Yuuji. It also fascinates me. I love the Yuuji, the plot, the tonal difference depending on whose PoV the story is being told by. Last update ended on a cliffhanger, but everything that's come before is intriguing.

The Weight Of Infinity by ZuviNat is another haunter. Modulo Yuuji appears in the middle of the Gojo vs Sukuna showdown, and, well. Modulo Yuuji is a very different beast from Shinjuku Showdown Yuuji. Its first and as of this post final chapter ends on a cliffhanger, but it's marked as a multichap so I have hope, because I'm so curious as to what will happen next.

goyuu

A place for the damned by Hyoushin, which is amongst my favourite of Hyoushin's fics. A lot of this list will feature their works. This one is post-Shibuya, posted before Gojo was unsealed, and it is fun. I think about a particular scene in it Often. Fic is low-stakes and painless and delivers on the promise of the tags so evocatively that I come back to it whenever I crave the specific tone it sets.

All You See Are Sympathetic Eyes by blue_jack haunts me a normal amount. It's post-canon, everything is beautiful style setting, but people are hurting, I am hurting. This premise packs such a punch and pulls absolutely nothing but it's written so well that I do not care. I suffer happily. I walk into the fire again and again, because I have reread this fic, and I will keep doing so. Anyway. Actual plot details. Yuuji has a crush on Gojo that is not reciprocated till it is, but with incredible smut that also makes me want to howl at the sky.

attack, decay, sustain, release by aosc, which I have reblogged all the fic posts of but its last chapter was posted years ago. Regardless, it is worth it. Genuinely one of the most amazing portrayals of Gojo's character voice I have ever read. Digs into the aftermath of everything to do with the Shibuya Incident and what came after, which sounds boring on paper but made for a fascinating read with how well the author keeps up with both the events themselves and the reactions to those events, both from sorcerers and not. Also, there is a road trip in it, and I'm unreasonably fond of those.

blessed are the peacemakers by kadal is a fun, short, lighthearted fic taking place during the basement era, and it nails the vibe so well that I love it. I just. Love it. Gojo put his student in his basement and his student does not think this is strange and it shows. It's great.

clutched is by an anonymous author, and it haunts me. It has haunted me for years. It will continue to haunt me. If the second-person PoV puts you off, I'm sorry, but this author does the most amazing, incredible things with it. I have no words for this fic other than that it takes every advantage of the PoV and writes the most devastating thing I have ever read.

cat owner, also by kadal, is more of the first, except it's post-Goodwill Event. Yuuji has a cat and it's his six-three, weird as hell sensei, and Yuuji's only concerns with this are not the correct ones. No one is surprised.

cradle by prindec is set during the basement era, and it's soft-adjacent. It gets as close to soft as a sorcerer's world can get, especially when that sorcerer is Yuuji, cage of the King of Curses. It sets the scene so well and so clearly and it never sacrifices character voice to do it, and every time, the ending feels like getting gutted. Does the same thing as blessed are the peacemakers for me, which is provide a perfect understanding of why I ship these two.

Days like these by Hyoushin is multiple snippets in one oneshot, all taking place during different periods and settings, some in alternate universes, and I love them all. Fic feels like a slice of something for everyone regardless of preference.

Enough (A Cinderella Story) by athena_crikey is set in an alternate universe in which Gojo is the frontman of a band and Yuuji is a genuinely good person, so of course Gojo falls in love with him in one night. It's a sweet story, and it made me laugh more than once. It's almost exactly what it says on the tin, except I don't think Cinderella got in-advisably drunk.

Entombed by JoWithTheFlow is one of my favourite time travel JJK fics, fullstop. Seventeen year old Yuuji goes back in time to the Hidden Inventory era, and it's exactly as tragic and funny and amazing as that sounds. I have so, so many scenes from it saved, and I love them all. The fic also deals with my favourite thing about time travel, which is the loneliness of it, and it does it so well.

Familiar Crossroads by Hyoushin has 14 year old, pre-canon Yuuji meeting 27 year old, mid-JJK 0 Gojo, and it just. Nails it. I want to live and breathe in this world. It's such a fascinating version of goyuu to meet and interact and fall in like, and the ending omake in the author's note has made me laugh like hell without fail every time I read it. I adore this fic.

Kaleidoscope is yet another fic written by Hyoushin, and like all the others, I love it. This one is outsider PoVs, but all people who know goyuu, reacting to their relationship, and it handles it so well. The character voices, the scenes, the writing, the way goyuu change each other, how their personalities and morals shift or adapt to their affection for each other--it's just a good fic.

Like melting, falling by Dehawny is The goyuu kissing fic To Me. The writing, the characterization, the interactions between goyuu, the kissing itself, it's all amazing and I love it. Gives me the same feeling cradle does, that renewed realisation of why I've spent three years so far so insane about these two.

Pawprint Problems by mossterunderthebed is a fic I have reblogged and praised before, but I'm doing it again because this is my blog and this fic is adorable. I said it best in my tags, but again, this fic is so soft. It's so fluffy. It's like if the cure for heartbreak was real, because this fic is it. Goyuu get turned into cats, and despite that, they are still so very goyuu.

sometimes you burn by moondrew is another fic I have reblogged and praised before, but, again. This is my blog, and I fucking love this fic. I love all this author's fics. Her writing is gorgeous, and this fic makes me genuinely insane. It's basement era, set around the time of the Vs Mahito arc but before the emotional trauma, featuring a Yuuji who's just been woken out of a dead sleep by his teacher appearing at his bedside like a blood soaked specter, except the specter would be way less eerie.

the before by Cassia_Bea takes one of the most mundane premises I have ever come across, and executes it to perfection. It is Gojo and Yuuji driving to places together, sharing snacks and talking, and that description feels like such a disservice because it is also an excellent, nearly-8k words long glimpse of goyuu and why they just...click. It's them, existing, and it is so clear they want to do that together.

The Blue Omen by blueberrykeki is a time travel fic, in which a post-Shinjuku Yuuji travels back in time to when Gojo was a student, except 2018 Gojo comes with Yuuji--in a way. Does things and goes places I've never seen before, alongside factoring in the way the world would change with what happened at Shibuya and Shinjuku and etc compared to the more peaceful past.

The view from above by Hyoushin is a time travel fix-it fic, in which post-canon Yuuji goes back to the Shibuya Incident to unseal and save Gojo. Excellent Yuuji porn, if your idea of porn is Yuuji being powerful and competent, which it should be. Gojo is so very himself (derogatory) in it as well.

Upturned skies by hyoushin is a role reversal fic in which Yuuji is Gojo and co's teacher. Fic takes place during the Hidden Inventory arc and uses that fact to the fullest, with all the highs and lows that implies.

We're Spinning 'Round the Sun by sempervirentis is everything is beautiful and nothing hurts, and I love it so much. Yuuji is as oblivious as Gojo is obvious, everyone else suffers, and there's many moments in the fic where I wanted to stab Gojo, but only in the most complimentary to the author ways. He's just so himself that I can't help it. But Yuuji is Yuuji, so he doesn't mind and actually loves the guy, which shows.

you think you are possessing me (but i've got my teeth in you) is another fic by moondrew, and it's. God. It makes me descend into howling. She writes Yuuji and Gojo and goyuu so, so well. I have devoured every one of her fics and I will do the same for anything else she posts in future. Anyway. This one features Yuuji gaining Sukuna's cannibalistic urges, and Gojo helping him out, because he is so very noble like that.

Your reverence my cage by Bowredone is Modulo Yuuji going back in time to 2018, and he is so delightfully fucked up from All Of That. Gojo does not help even a little. Canon Yuuji is also there, and he's trying his best, but, well. Gojo is Gojo and Modulo Yuuji is Modulo Yuuji. He was doomed from the start, and the author writes it beautifully.

oh, I know I won't be leaving here by wynnebat fascinates me. I've never seen a Yuuji like it, and I mean that in the best way. It's basement era, and Yuuji's voice is great, I love it, it just blindsided me almost immediately and I say that as a compliment. After three years being insane about JJK, this was the most unique take on Gojo hitting on Yuuji and Yuuji reacting to that I've ever seen, and it's the reason I've stalked this author's profile since. Also enjoyed check me in and check me out and and the moon shines bright as bone by the same author

sukuita

bare your soft parts, i’ll split them open by nerodiseppia Gets It. It's sukuita fucking, nasty, and fucking nasty, all at the same time, and the author writes it so deliciously that I would lick it off a plate if I could.

blame it on a black star by moondrew also gets It, but to be fair, this author always Gets It. I've reblogged this fic and yelled about it in the tags before, and that one time still isn't enough, because this fic is perfect. There are no other words to describe it. It is sex and character study. It takes the concept of sharing your soul and skull with a man who is remembered as a monster a thousand years after his death, and digs into every delicious detail of that fact.

Tying the Knot by MitchMatchedSocks is A/B/O set in a no curses verse. It's also amazing and gross and digs into the incredibly fucked up family dynamics of Jin, Wasuke and Kaorijkau all pitching in to raise Yuuji, and the kind of person and alpha he'd grow up to be, both from nurture and nature, because his insanity is just that singular. Sukuna thinks he will have a great time till he doesn't and then he does again, and the ending of this fic made me laugh so hard I nearly cried.

bonus round: Yuuji/Other

this love which rots and softens by mossterunderthebed is not quite single-handedly responsible for getting me into okkoita, but that's only because mossterunderthebed themselves played a huge part in making me sit up and take notice of this ship. it is over 22 thousand words of okkoita developing alongside the world recovering from all of canon, through the good and bad and traumatic and healing, and I am in love with it.

love, love, love by Cassia_Bea is childhood sweethearts okkoita who aren't quite secretly dating, except no one knows Yuuta's got a boyfriend till they do. Gojo goes on to meet that boyfriend in telepathy, teleportation, television or something the exact same way he meets Yuuji in canon, except for the complication of Yuuta dating him.

End In Sight by anonymous is hard to explain. It's adult Yuuji with teenage Toji, Gojo and Geto are Toji's classmates, and Megumi is Toji's dad. A role reversal is probably the most concise description. It is also hot as fuck. Toji does his best to seduce Yuuji, and Yuuji resists till he doesn't.
