what happens after death?

find peace?

darkness or an unending void?

or find someone to spend eternity with?

satoru pov

darkness

i wake up, not feeling any pain.

where’s my beloved?

i stare at my surroundings, and suddenly i see my reflection.

fuck am I dreaming?

did i time travel?

i touch my face and it feels smooth, not wrinkled.

this is my face from 50 years ago.

“you are arriving at your destination,” a sudden voice interrupts my thoughts.

where the hell am I?

as i exit the vehicle, i follow the crowd of people. toddlers, middle-aged, and elderly.

so why am I in my early 30s?

i approach a man wearing a suit. “what kind of place is this? why am i back in my 30s?”

“if you have any questions, please consult your assigned afterlife coordinator” he says before leaving, calling someone else’s name.

oh, so this is the afterlife. but who is my afterlife coordinator?

i observe my surroundings and realize that coordinators approach their clients while calling their names. i sit on a vacant seat and wait. i didn’t realize i had fallen asleep until i heard a loud voice.

“is there a gojo satoru in here?”

“yep, that would be me!” i say as i approach the woman wearing suit.

“so what kind of place is this? why—” i said but she interrupts me.

“first of all, i'm your afterlife coordinator. you can call me elle. let’s walk while i explain everything" she says, leading the way.

“this is the afterlife, where most people go after they die. you died of old age. you’re in your early 30s because that was the time you were happiest" i stay silent, still processing everything.

“about your eternity you are given time to choose it. think carefully because once you decide there’s no turning back” she continues explaining the different kinds of eternity and what happens after choosing.

“the decision must be made within the allotted time. you may wait for someone, but only for 100 years. if you exceed that, it will be up to the higher ones what happens to you. you’re free to do what you want here, but with limitations—no bad businesses” we enter a busy place.

now we’re inside a hotel-like building.

“this is where you’ll stay for a month while deciding your eternity. if you exceed a month, you’ll be moved to the basement. so, choose carefully” she says as she opens my room.

“if you have any questions, you can find me in the lobby” she adds before leaving.

“wait! what about my wife?”

“gojo y/n? she hasn’t died yet. but you can wait for her” she says with a smile.

as i enter the room, it feels just like our lavish life. i can’t wait to tell her everything. sleep doesn’t come, so I head downstairs to the bar I’ve been eyeing.

“can’t sleep?” the bartender asks.

“yeah. everything’s new and i’m still adjusting. one strong whiskey, please”

“aight” he says handing me the drink.

“how long have you been here?” I ask after my tenth glass.

“fifty-five years. waiting for someone”

“damn… you didn’t get bored?”

“if you have a reason to wait, you won’t get bored. it becomes your motivation” he says, taking a sip. “How about you?”

“just got here”

“and you haven’t chosen your eternity?”

“just like you… i’m waiting for someone” i say as my wife’s face flashing in my mind.

y/n pov

It’s been five years since satoru’s death. life isn’t the same without him. i’m on my deathbed now, old age finally catching up to me. our children take good care of me. they know I don’t have much time left, but i don’t regret anything. i’m grateful i spent my life with them.

is satoru waiting for me on the other side?

if he is… then he’s waited so long.

suddenly, everything turns dark. i feel like i’m riding something. i open my eyes and i’m on a train. but i don’t remember getting on one since i’m too weak to travel. as i look at the window, i see my reflection.

my early 20s self.

satoru pov

i’ve been living in the basement for five years now.

my wife really took her time.

i also started helping the bartender manage the bar. we became close after spending the night drinking together.

his name is ryomen sukuna.

as i walk toward the bar, i suddenly see the woman i’ve been waiting for.

she’s here.

y/n pov

i follow the people, not knowing where this will lead. while i'm on the ride, i realize that i’m ready dead.

so this is the afterlife, but not the kind i expected.

as we enter the lobby, i hear my name.

“gojo y/n?” a man in a suit calls.

“yes, that’s me” i say as i approach.

“i’m your afterlife coordinator, dre. i know you’re confused, so i’ll explain everything" he says.

as he talks, i suddenly hear another voice calling. i turn around.

he’s here.

i leave dre and run toward him.

“my love” i say, hugging him tightly.

“i’m here now” he replies.

i pull away “i told you to take your medicine, but you didn’t! you kept saying you’re the strongest and didn’t need it!”

“look at us now. i suffered for five years without you even our kids got tired of hearing me say how much i miss you”

“and—” i continue, but he cuts me off with a kiss.

“i’m sorry. from now on, i’ll take my meds”

“you don’t need meds here” dre interrupts.

“oh! right. sorry, dre” i say turning to him.

“it’s fine. i’ll explain everything later” he says.

as i turn back to satoru, i see someone else. a face i almost forgot. time feels like it stopped.

slowly, i walk toward him.

“sukuna” i whisper.

“it’s been so long, my baby” he says caressing my face.

“oh shit… this is bad” dre and elle say at the same time.

sukuna pov

“he’s late” i mutter as i wait for Satoru to show up for work. my patience runs thin, so I decide to go find him.

i stop walking when i spot his tall ass head. as i get closer, i see a familiar face.

my beloved.

our eyes meet, and i walk faster.

i've waited so long for this moment.

“sukuna” the voice i missed the most.

“it’s been so long, my baby” i say, cradling her face.

god, i missed her.

“hey, man. what’s going on here?” satoru cuts in.

“oh, you finally met my wife—the one I’ve been waiting 60 years for” i say and placing a hand on her waist as i face him.

“what the fuck are you talking about? that’s my wife we’ve been married for 52 years” satoru snaps, pulling her away from me.

“okay, lovebirds” the coordinator interrupts stepping between us. “y/n needs to rest. she’s exhausted from the travel" he gently pulls her away. “I’ll finish explaining everything to you” he adds as they walk off.

i hear him mutter “oh, you’re in big trouble”

once they’re out of earshot, i turn to satoru.

“the fuck do you mean she’s your wife for 52 years? i’ve been married to her for 63 years”

“well, it’s not my fault you died early and she remarried” he shrugs.

i’m about to pounce on him when an afterlife coordinator cuts in.

“you both have been here for years and still forgot the rules—no fighting” she says. “if you want her, then prove it. win her for eternity and accept it if she doesn’t choose you" she pauses, then adds softly “because i know that she loves you both”

y/n pov

after dre finishes explaining everything, he leaves me alone in my room and wishes me luck.

sukuna

satoru

“oh my god… what did i do?” i whisper as i lie on the bed.

memories start flooding in.

sukuna and i were high school lovers. he was my first love and my first in everything. we went through everything together. misunderstandings, fights, and forgiveness. as we grew older, our relationship only became stronger.

we planned our future. after graduating college, he asked for my hand. at 22, we got married.

one time, during a date, he told me “If something happens to me, i want you to keep living. find happiness. don’t stay stuck on me but i’ll be waiting for you on the other side, no matter how long it takes”

“nothing will happen to you" i laughed. “i can’t imagine living without you, so stop saying nonsense”

“you’re right" he smirked. “nothing will happen because I won’t let anyone take you away while i’m alive” we laughed together.

three years later, he died in a vehicular accident. the drunk driver survived. my husband didn’t. i thought i only lost him that day. i didn’t realize, i lost our child too.

people told me to move on but how could I, when everything reminded me of us? but I remembered his words. so I tried.

after five years, i moved away and started over.

that’s when i met satoru. we started as friends, but slowly i fell in love again. he knew my past, yet he stayed. he waited. and eventually I said yes.

we got married. it wasn’t perfect. we had misunderstandings too but we always chose each other.

i gave birth to five healthy children.

our life wasn’t perfect, but I never regretted it.

third person pov

satoru and sukuna both did everything they could to win y/n’s heart. the coordinators arranged their time fairly. each man was given two weeks to spend with her, one eternity each. the final week was hers alone time to think. time to choose.

sukuna brought her to a quiet eternity, a house near mountains and a lake. they did everything they once dreamed of. exploring mountains. swimming in the lake. stargazing every night while drinking hot cocoa on the porch.

satoru brought her to a peaceful countryside home. the life they once planned before growing old. they reminisced about their past, their children, their grandchildren. wondering if they were missed. they lived the life they never got to fully enjoy.

what will y/n choose?

will she stay with the one who loves her?

or return to the one she loves?

the day arrives. the day of her decision.

the four of them stand in front of hundreds of doors each leading to a different eternity.

“whatever y/n decides, you both must respect it” dre says, while elle clings to his arm.

“you both showed how much you love her” elle adds with a small laugh. “honestly, i’m impressed you didn’t kill each other”

“well, i still want to spend eternity with her” sukuna mutters. “i’m not risking punishment from the higher ones”

“the feeling’s mutual, asshole” satoru replies.

“there she is” Sukuna smirks. “so what now? are we holding hands like miss universe contestants?”

“more like mister universe” satoru shoots back. then he grabs sukuna’s hands. like they’re waiting for a crown. except the crown… is her.

y/n pov

after spending time with both of them, i finally made my decision. i slowly approach the four of them, sneaking a glance at the two afterlife coordinators.

elle mouths “wishing you well” and smiles. i smile back.

then i stand face to face with the two loves of my life.

they’re holding each other’s hands… eyes closed. i can’t help but laugh.

“i’ve finally decided where i want to spend my eternity” i say.

“i want a place with mountains and lakes—”

“yes!” sukuna blurts out, opening his eyes.

“i’m not finished yet" i cut him off.

“i want a place with mountains and lakes where we can stargaze, hike, and camp. a peaceful life in the countryside” i take a deep breath.

“sukuna… we can continue the life we didn’t get to finish because death separated us.”

“satoru… we can continue the life we built together” tears started to fall.

“my decision is… i choose both of you”

satoru and sukuna look at each other.

silence.

then they both smile.

“you know what, doll. i can’t imagine losing you again. for you, i’d even put up with this pain in the ass” sukuna says.

“well, i waited five years for you and survived being stuck with this guy" satoru adds pointing at sukuna. “turns out, we have a lot in common. i'll follow you wherever you go even if he comes along.”

suddenly— “yes! i told you she’d choose both of them!” elle cheers, holding out her hand.

“i thought satoru would win this” dre sighs, placing money in her palm.

elle grins “now then your door to eternity”

she walks toward a beautiful door and unlocks it.

“remember there’s no turning back”

“try not to kill each other” Dre adds. “and good luck to the three of you”

“thank you” i say softly.

i take their hands, one on each side.

“i’ll take care of them”

and together I lead us into our eternity.

Was there a lifetime waiting for us

In a world where I was yours?

how long has it been since the last time I saw you? since the last time I sailed beside you?

Paper planes and porcelain

Smell of rain through the window pane

And the sight of you

Oh, you were a good dream

the first time i saw you. i thought an angel had come from heaven not to save me, but to haunt me.

the fury in your eyes when our gazes met. how foolish of me to think i found my first love at first fight. our battle didn’t last long, because i had the courage to declare that you would be my beloved.

you wanted me dead that time because of my audacity, but i managed to learn your name when your crew shouted it while pulling you away from killing me.

you saw me as a fool but for me that moment was everything.

a year passed, yet my mind still lingered on you. i sailed across the seas, hoping we would meet again.

at last, god was on my side as i saw you smiling with your crew while drinking whiskey. your smile.

oh, your smile

it made me promise myself that i would protect it.

i couldn’t let the chance slip away, so i stayed on that island longer than intended. i stayed for one reason, to make you fall in love with me.

and you did

we sailed together across the vast oceans and quiet nights where laughter replaced silence and your presence became my home.

months passed, and i decided to ask for your hand. we got married far from the chaos of the sea. for once, there were no enemies. no battles.

just us.

seeing you in your white dress made me think, 'you were made for me' as tears fell from my eyes.

benn beckman stood as my best man, and lucky roux walked you down the aisle. but my focus was only on you.

only you.

and we said our vows, “until death do us part”

did death really do us part?

what happens after marriage? they say there will be miscommunication, doubt, and broken trust. i thought marrying and loving you was enough to prevent all of that.

oh, baby. i was wrong.

our days turned into chaos which filled with shouting, anger, and tears we pretended not to notice.

whenever the ship docked. i found myself escaping not from enemies, but from you.

from us.

i thought i could escape but i always ended up facing you drunk while you screamed, fought, and cried. at the end of each day we kept fixing things. or at least, we tried to believe we did.

I was scared to lose you then

But secrets turn into regrets

Buried feelings grow

Oh, you were a good dream

but something in you finally snapped when you heard i had been spending time with another girl every day during our stay on an island. what hurt the most was that you saw it yourself. and i never even noticed you were there

before i could explain, you left without a word leaving your ring on our bed. no goodbye. no anger. just silence.

how can i explain to you that the girl needed my help? how can i explain to myself why i could save a stranger but not the person who meant everything to me?

Was it the wrong time? What if we tried

Giving in a little more

To the warmth we had before?

i never stopped sailing. i didn’t care if it took ten or twenty years as long as i could see you again. time lost its meaning as long as you were still somewhere in this world.

one day, i heard a laugh. the same laugh i thought i had forgotten after so long.

there you were, smiling, alive, and happy. my eyes stayed on you, afraid that if i blinked you would disappear again. until i noticed you were holding a child and a man was calling out to you, running toward you.

Tangled with another′s eyes

Never mind, you were never mine

should i take you back? or let you live the life you found without me?

Glimpse of me and you

Oh, you were a good dream

i made my decision.

not as a pirate. not as a man who once loved you. but as someone who finally understood what you deserved.

i stepped back. and disappeared just like I was never there.

but if there’s one thing i know. one truth i will carry until my last breath

if you ever find your way back to me, i’ll be here.

waiting.

even if it takes a lifetime.

Is it even worth it to reminisce?

Comparisons are easily done

Once you've had a taste of perfection

Like an apple hanging from a tree

I picked the ripest one

I still got the seed

on a sunny morning, an ikran suddenly flew toward our home. a crowd quickly gathered, curious about what was happening. there standing tall was the toruk makto and his mate asking for uturu.

as my gaze lingered on them, i saw him. my breath hitched when I realized his eyes were already locked onto mine. our silent staring contest was cut short when his father ushered him forward to thank our olo’eyktan.

days passed yet my mind couldn’t stop thinking about him. my thoughts were interrupted when tsireya asked for my help in teaching the sully family our ways, since her brother was busy with something else.

“hi sorry I didn’t catch your name” i said as i approached them.

“i’m neteyam. this is my sister, tuk” he said, introducing the small girl clinging to his back.

“that is my brother, lo’ak” he added, pointing to the boy learning with tsireya.

“and that is kiri” he continued, gesturing to the girl preparing to submerge herself in the water minding her own business.

“i’m y/n. nice to meet you” i replied with a smile. a blush crept onto neteyam’s face as he softly repeated my name.

that was how our friendship began. soon we became inseparable. he became my shadow wherever i went he was always there. everyone noticed but no one said anything not even his parents or mine.

our friendship slowly turned into something more when neteyam finally swallowed his pride and confessed his feelings.

it happened during a celebration, where everyone was drinking and dancing.

“y/n, come with me” he said, taking my hand and guiding me somewhere.

when we arrived, i stared in awe. it was our special place, the one where we always spent time together is now decorated with glowing lights and scattered flowers. at the center lay a woven mat filled with food.

“neteyam, i don’t know what this is for but it’s so beautiful” i whispered, my gaze wandering.

he gently cupped my face, guiding my eyes back to him. holding my hand he spoke softly, “y/n i’ll be honest. i got scared when other guys started asking for your hand. so i’m confessing now. it’s okay if you don’t have an answer yet I just want you to know that I’ve loved you since the moment I first saw you”

“oh, neteyam from the moment you came into my life, i already loved you. i love you too” i replied, closing the distance between us.

from then on, our days were filled with love. holding hands, stealing kisses, and sharing meals with our families. but those days didn’t last long.

i followed neteyam when he went after his brother to warn the tulkun which the said tulkun is marked for death. we managed to remove the tracker and tried to escape the sky people. we almost made it but they captured tuk, tsireya, and lo’ak. i couldn’t leave neteyam to rescue them alone.

everything became a blur as the battle erupted between the sky people and our clan. My body moved on instinct, but my eyes searched only for him.

“neteyam!” i called, my voice breaking as chaos swallowed my words.

for a moment, i saw him fighting, protecting, surviving. relief flooded my chest. but just as quickly, he disappeared from my sight again. fear clawed its way through me. i ran. i fought. i screamed his name until my throat burned, until it felt like the world itself refused to give him back to me.

flames devoured the sky ships. my hands trembled, my heart pounded violently against my chest. then, a cry. not just any cry. a cry that shattered something inside me. my body moved before my mind could catch up. i ran toward the sound, my vision blurring with tears.

“no” i pushed through the crowd through his family and then i saw him. everything stopped. neteyam lay there, unmoving. too still. too quiet.

“no” i whispered, my voice trembling as i dropped to my knees beside him. i cradled his face, my fingers shaking as they brushed against his skin. cold, too cold.

“neteyam” my voice broke completely. “no, no, you’re okay” i tried to smile through my tears. as if i could convince him, convince myself that this wasn’t happening.

his eyes slowly fluttered open. and for a moment it felt like everything would be okay.

“y/n” he whispered weakly, his voice barely there. a sob tore through my chest.

“i’m here. i’m right here. please, don’t leave me” his hand weakly lifted i grabbed it immediately pressing it against my cheek.

“i’m here” i repeated desperately. “you’re okay…we’re okay, remember? you promised me”

“i’m sorry” his lips trembled into the faintest smile.

“no!” i shook my head frantically. “no, don’t say that. don’t you dare say goodbye to me!” tears streamed down his temples as he struggled to breathe.

“i wanted more time” he whispered. my heart shattered completely.

“we have time!” i cried. “we have so much time you said we would have a life together! You said” my voice broke into sobs.

“you said we’d grow old together” his thumb weakly brushed against my cheek, wiping away tears he no longer had the strength to stop.

“i’ll find you in every life” a choked sound escaped me as i pressed my forehead against his.

“then stay” i begged. “stay in this one. stay with me please, neteyam. i can’t do this without you” his breathing grew slower, fainter.

“y/n” i squeezed his hand tighter, as if i could keep his soul from slipping away.

“i love you” the words shattered me.

“i love you too!” i cried desperately. “i love you please don’t go, please” his grip weakened.

“neteyam?” panic surged. i shook him gently.

“neteyam…? no, look at me. Look at me!” his eyes still open no longer saw me.

the world collapsed

“no” i pulled him closer, clinging to him as if i could force life back into his body. my cries echoed, as I buried my face against his chest listening for a heartbeat that was no longer there.

“please” I whispered weakly, my voice fading into nothing. “please, eywa bring him back” but he didn’t and he never would.

from afar, i watched as he was laid to rest in the water placed gently among glowing golden sea anemones. my tears wouldn’t stop falling as ao’nung placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.

days passed. i found myself visiting the spirit tree every day, just to feel close to him again.

“you should move on and live a happy life without me” Neteyam said softly as we lay together in a dreamlike forest.

you said move on

where do I go?

i guess second best is all I will know

“we’ll have the life i promised in another life” he whispered before pressing a gentle kiss to my lips. before i get the chance to say goodbye, he disappeared.

the battle at the cove of the ancestors ended in victory. at last, peace returned to our world.

years passed before ao’nung became the olo’eyktan. he needed to choose a mate, and I was the most suitable choice but my heart still longed for neteyam.

Cause when I'm with him, I am thinking of you

Thinking of you

ao’nung tried his best to court me helping with tasks, bringing me beautiful shells, and offering the largest fish he caught during hunts. over time, i didn’t realize i was slowly falling for him.

one day, he brought me to a hidden place he had discovered while hunting. it was breathtaking yet it stirred something deep within me, a memory. he gently took my hands, turning me to face him.

What you would do if

You were the one who was spending the night

“do you remember when we were young? We used to play together then I suddenly disappeared. i was confused about my feelings. i thought if i stayed away, they would fade but i was wrong. during the war, i stayed close protecting you from the shadows. this isn’t about being chosen by my father. I chose you and i’m afraid of losing you again. i love you, y/n”

Oh, I wish that I was looking into your eyes

“oh, ao'nung, i thought you left because you got tired of me. thank you for always being there especially during the war. i love you too” I whispered. he smiled and closed the distance between us. he kissed me but my thoughts betrayed me.

He kissed my lips, I taste your mouth, oh

He pulled me in, I was disgusted with myself

guilt crept into my chest but then i remembered neteyam’s words. he wanted me to move forward to live without him.

You’re the best

And yes, I regret

How I let myself lose you.

years later

ao’nung didn’t change in fact, he fell in love with me even more. he became a great olo’eyktan and a loving father. i gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named ira, followed by two handsome boys.

as i went to look for ira and my two sons, i was surprised to see lo’ak and tsireya returning to awa’atlu after spending their days in the hallelujah mountains. not only had they returned, they came back as a family of four.

“tsireya!” i called out, trying to catch her attention.

“y/n!” she shouted back, running toward me with lo’ak and their children following behind.

“i missed you so much and who are these?” i asked with a smile.

“y/n, these are my children. tsi’ak is the oldest, and loreya is my youngest” she said, gently placing her hands on their shoulders so I could see their faces clearly.

as i looked at the eldest, my breath caught.

something about him.

it felt so familiar.
