I was just wondering...how do you think clanhead!satoru would react to reader getting miserably sick (before they're married)
omg this is such a good ask 😭
i can totally imagine that after everything transpires in pt3, reader doesn’t show up to one of their formal meetings — and at first satoru’s annoyed as fuck and questioning himself again, maybe spiraling a bit — like
‘did i fuck it up? is she giving up on this? did i cross a line?’
but then news comes out that you’re bedridden, feverish, barely eating — and he immediately shows up to your estate, unannounced.
he would totally worry and have NO CLUE what to do 🙂↕️ and omg, your mother would be freaking tf out with him showing up, insisting he leave, saying the house isn’t clean or whatever, saying you’re not in a state to be seen — and he’d push past her anyway.
he’d prob stand there awkwardly by your door. not crossing the threshold at first. just… staring. seeing you curled up, pale, wrapped in too many blankets. and he’s pissed off bc he doesn’t know why seeing you like that — weak, vulnerable — rattles him.
then, the second you shiver, or let out a pitiful little cough, his whole demeanor cracks. he’s clearing his throat like it’s no big deal and tosses a small pharmacy bag onto your bedside. mumbling something like:
‘your clan doesn’t have a damn RCT user or what?’
(he was in the infirmary for 30 mins demanding the best meds from three different doctors.)
and you — you’d probably be sooooo fucking out of it, loopy from the fever, cheeks flushed, words slurred. omg 😭😭 maybe reader even thinks satoru’s her dad — AHH my heart is hurting.
you’re burning up, delirious, eyes glazed, and still — some part of you reaches for comfort. your fingers curl weakly, like they’re trying to hold on. like you’re afraid he’ll leave. and he doesn’t know what to do with that. doesn’t know why it hits him so hard. he just knows his voice is way softer when he tells you to lie back down and get some rest…

okay i’ll entertain this idea. bc i think it would be interesting to imagine that satoru and reader are already married — they’ve been having troubles with her fertility, and maybe reader’s been nauseous since early that morning. like… every single smell has been making her stomach CHURN — the incense, the pipe smoke, the fancy ass cologne that one of the elders insists on wearing like a goddamn holy relic.
so, her and satoru are sitting through yet another council meeting — elders droning on and on about “duty” and “ensuring a prosperous future” and “legacy,” blahblahblah —and she’s trying SO hard to focus, but she’s pale as death, and the room is tilting sideways. her skin’s clammy, her breathing shallow, and then one of the elders has the fucking audacity to take a hit from his kiseru pipe and blow it right into her face.
ohhhh… her stomach twists. hard.
she lets out a small, strangled sound in the back of her throat, trying to swallow it down — making satoru shift beside her, brows raising in concern, feeling the tension roll off her in waves.
meanwhile hajime drones, “it’s vital that both husband and wife understand the responsibility of continuing their line. if your union is not producing—”
and god, that’s when it hits. it ALL comes up 💀right on the tatami. right onto the hem of satoru’s robes. right in the middle of the council chamber.
satoru’s ENTIRE body goes rigid. frozen. like someone unplugged him from reality. and it is so painfully silent. like, visceral secondhand embarrassment kind of silent. the elders look absolutely HORRIFIED — one of them even drops his pipe — and reader is just sitting there, frozen in shame, tears starting to well up as she tries to process the fact that she just publicly projectile-vomited during a goddamn fertility lecture 😭
then, before an elder can even open their mouth in disgust, satoru is rising, grabbing you gently by the arm and says.
“my wife is unwell. we’ll be excusing ourselves.”
immediate teleportation.
you don’t even have time to process that he called you his wife for the first time outside of the bedroom, because when you rematerialize in the estate, you’re running to the bathroom — sobbing, puking, gasping for air, and satoru is just left standing there in the hallway like:
“what the actual fuck just happened…” 🧍
he’s still got puke on him. it’s in his shoe. and he just kind of… short circuits. for like, a full 45 seconds. then he groans, drags a hand down his face, peels off his outer robe, immediately heading towards the bathroom with a towel and a glass of water, muttering under his breath:
“you should’ve told me you were sick…”
but it’s not even mean. it’s like, weirdly frustrated and soft. like he’s just rattled and flustered and trying really hard not to panic. he crouches next to you while you’re still hovering over the toilet, rubbing your back, and you just sniffle and mumble:
Sorry for going a bit personal and you can ignore this question
But how did you and your hubby meet?
oh no worries bb!
hubby and i met when i was 20, working part-time at Target. we were coworkers — i worked the fitting room and he worked in the back, but for whatever reason Target had kept all the walkie talkies at my desk. so every day, he'd swing by to grab his walkie or swap out batteries. i saw him in passing despite us working different departments.
one day, we were the only two in the break room. and mind you, it's a massive break room. this was a big Target. anyways, i had my headphones on, listening to music, and this guy chooses to plop into the seat RIGHT next to me (i remember thinking, dude wtf. i don't even know you and i have headphones in. leave me tf alone. LOL)
he was very much like a golden retriever, trying to strike conversation. he was eating cookies for his lunch (ofc bc my husband has the biggest sweet tooth) — and he offered me one. apparently, he says that i gave him the BIGGEST resting bitch face that day 🤭 ahaha. but to be fair, i’d just gotten out of a really bad relationship and was very much not in the mood for men.
despite that, i took the cookie.
he asked what music i was listening to. turns out we had similar taste — and both played guitar — so that kinda broke the ice. we chatted the rest of my lunch, and then later that day when he came to return his walkie at the end of his shift, he asked for my number.
we started off as friends. he'd always pick me up, and we’d hang out and play music together. when he'd drop me off back home, it was hard for me to leave — we literally would sit in his car until like, 3am just chatting for HOURS.
i had a massive crush on him, but he was giving me major mixed signals. turns out, he was fresh out of a long-term relationship where he’d been cheated on. (he later admitted he was fighting himself — said i made it really hard not to want to date me 🙂↕️)
we stayed just friends for over a year until one night he crashed at my place (on the floor, he insisted), and the next morning, we both had work. his shift started an hour before mine, and right before he left, he randomly kissed me. then LEFT. like sir???🧍♀️ you just kissed me and dipped?? i was so confused bc i didn't know what that kiss meant to him. he acted so nonchalant about it.
thankfully, he didn’t leave me wondering long — that night, he waited for me to get off work, walked me to my car, and confessed he was in love with me. asked me to be his girlfriend right there in the parking lot.
and now we’ve been together for 10 years 🥹💗 he's my best friend, my rock, and an amazing father to our daughter.

hi rem ahhh tysm bb you are so sweet 🥹🤧 ily and your writing sm 💕
motherhood and matrimony (ceo! satoru x single mom secretary! reader)
this series is literally my baby. its what essentially helped me grow a following here and the story is just near and dear to my heart. i've put so many pieces of myself into this story and have poured my heart and literal tears into the writing 😭
2. masked affairs—sold to desire (dom! rich satoru x f!reader - inspired by 50 shades of grey)
so this oneshot is special to me in a lot of ways. it was the first story i collaborated with my bestie @strychnynegirl on—it was a vision she trusted me with, so i took it and ran with it! i'm really proud of what i accomplished in this oneshot too bc i struggle with the ability to stfu 💀 everything i write is long, lol. plus, i'm really happy with the tension and smut here 🤭
3. vows of duty (arranged clanhead! satoru x f!reader)
this story is still very new, but i'm really proud of what i've done with it. i'm going entirely out of my comfort zone with this fic, which is both exciting and nerve wracking! like seriously, ya'll wouldn't believe how much i was stressing over this fic 😅 @/srychnynegirl and @madamechrissy can attest to it. but they helped me SO much in getting out of my head. i love them 💕💕
4. supermodel! satoru x fem reader - preview
words cannot describe how down bad i am for this man, lol. i love me a needy obsessed man 🙂↕️ i worked real hard on this little drabble for his teaser, and i'm excited for his full fic. this is some of my fav smut i've written, and i'm honestly so obsessed with satoru masturbating. idk, i'm feral for him 😩
5. cursed by color—satoru’s new look (girl dad satoru x f!reader)
one of my pure fluff fics. i just love satoru as a girl dad. this fic is based on my real life too bc my husband sits there and lets my daughter do his nails and hair and UGH. it's just so wholesome. this also healed me bc i wrote this after the end of jjk, so it's my delulu fantasy of how satoru SHOULD be living out his life rn.
Please tell me you didn’t ghosted us on your series (clanhead! Satoru)
hi.
I’d really like to give you the benefit of the doubt, bc I’m not sure how this message was intended to be sent, but regardless, it’s not received well. I’d appreciate a bit more kindness when it comes to how you ask about updates. like… I know it can be hard to wait when you’re excited about a story, but let me be clear to you that sending messages like this literally does the opposite of what you’re trying to obtain. this just totally kills any creative spark for me and leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
I’ve shared before and I’ll say it again—I’m doing multiple things. I’m a mom, a wife, a student, an employee, a friend. I have responsibilities and I have people that depend on me. this blog is my hobby. that being said, I have no plans to drop clanhead. I rotate between my wips depending on what I’m feeling most inspired to write. Motherhood and Matrimony readers had to wait 3 months for ch 10 (which I literally just posted, so this ask makes me feel irritated—esp given by its timing…?)
my intention is to work on clanhead next. but please understand, I will not rush my writing. If I rush, I will not obtain the same quality of work that I hold myself standard to. and I write for myself, first and foremost. so, if you can’t handle the pace of my updates, then sorry. you can choose to not read; you can choose to not follow me. but I will not sacrifice the things that are important to me. my family and my wellbeing will always come first. nonnegotiable.

PLEASE make arranged!gojo suffer.... maximum suffering please
😭😭 y’all are really out for his blood omg. he’s not intentionally cruel. look… i have to say something bc i’ve seen a lot of comments and asks come in after releasing pt3.
satoru’s made mistakes and—tbh—he’s gonna keep making a few more. but that’s kind of the point, right? growth doesn’t happen without stumbling a little.
i’m not saying he’s getting off easy. he fucked up and he’s got a lot of work to put in. like—A LOT. him spiraling in pt3 is only scratching the surface.
but, i do gotta make one thing clear, and it’s that my intention isn’t to turn this fic into a full blown petty battle. there’s plenty of other fics on this platform that do take that route, and they do it beautifully!! not knocking on them—i’m just saying it’s not my style, purely bc it doesn’t resonate with me.
i wanna feel the highs and the lows. i wanna earn those butterfly feelings. i wanna ache and yearn and then finally breathe when it all cracks open.
and more than anything—i want this fic to carry a piece of myself. a message i hold dear: that love doesn’t have to be easy to be worth it. and that one terrible mistake doesn’t define you.
i’ve done some pretty stupid shit in my adolescence, shit that makes me cringe, shit i’m not proud of. so will satoru have to suffer? yes—in the way that life always makes us suffer. because that’s what life does to us. it humbles us. but i’m not going to make him suffer out of spite.
I’ve been reading your work for over a year now. I discovered you through Motherhood and Matrimony and I have to say it’s one of the best pieces of fanfiction I’ve ever read. You have such a way with words, it’s amazing.
I’m someone who has been an avid reader for most of my life, but I’ve always wanted to create something of my own, something that pushes my limits and brings a community together. By that, I mean becoming an author.
I started writing about a year ago and I’ve improved since then, but I still struggle, especially with bringing my characters and stories to life emotionally.
What I’ve been meaning to ask is: do you have any advice or tips for a beginner writer when it comes to that? And if so, what would they be?
Lots of love, xx!!
hello ml!! firstly, tysm for your kind words. istg waking up to this had me feeling so warm 🥹 i’m so happy to hear that motherhood and matrimony has impacted you the way that it has! that story means so much to me 😭
i'm literally so honored you'd ask me for advice! i'll share a bit of my insight. but firstly, before i think about plot, i try to understand the emotional core of the story. what message are you trying to deliver? (ex: is the story about learning to trust? learning that love can be safe? learning that you don’t have to be perfect to be worthy? learning to let someone in?)
once i know that, it’s a lot easier to understand what kind of journey the character needs to go on.
1) CREATING YOUR CHARACTERS.
꒰ what does your character believe about themselves or the world that is hurting them? ꒱
obviously, it’s important to know your character's personality traits. is your character shy, cynical, overworked, guarded, romantic, stubborn? that’s pretty basic! but i think what makes a character TRULY compelling is not just their personality, but their fatal flaw. (ohhhh boy, here’s where my psychology nerd is gonna come through, so be prepared lmaooo 🙂↕️)
when someone experiences something painful, or traumatic, it can warp the way they see themselves, relationships, love, safety, vulnerability, etc. and that belief can start shaping their choices, even when they don’t realize it. in other words, it creates a traumatic disbelief.
a few examples of negative cognition:
i’m not enough.
love is conditional.
if i need people, they’ll leave.
i have to be perfect to be worthy.
my emotions are a burden.
if i let someone in, they’ll hurt me.
lets use motherhood and matrimony as an example! reader was in an abusive relationship. because of that, her false belief is that she is not good enough. she believes she is destined to disappoint satoru no matter what she does. that belief shows up in the way she hesitates, doubts herself, and struggles to fully trust that she is safe. that’s why intimacy is hard for her. that’s why she questions whether she can really stand beside satoru and help run gojo corp. that’s why love, even when it’s gentle, can still feel scary. her wound is getting in the way of what she wants: love, safety, family, and a sense of worth. so her emotional journey is not just “fall in love with satoru.” it’s learning that she is worthy of that love. it’s learning that she is not a burden. it’s learning that she can be loved without having to earn it.
a few questions i would ask yourself when creating characters:
what does this character want?
what do they actually need?
what are they afraid of?
what false belief is stopping them from accepting what they actually need?
what does healing look like for them?
okay! next, lets talk about making these characters come to life.
2) WRITING SCENES WITH YOUR CHARACTERS
꒰ what is the purpose of your scene? ꒱
a scene doesn’t always have to be dramatic or plot-heavy, but it should have a reason to exist. it can reveal a character, develop a relationship, create tension, plant information for later, show a shift in emotion, or move the story forward. so ask yourself, what is this scene trying to do?
i’ll use the beginning of my off the record fic as an example, because that first scene is doing A LOT!
i’m introducing reader and satoru, establishing the setting and showing their dynamic through dialogue. i’m letting my readers see that she’s overworked and composed, while satoru is playful, observant, and already paying attention to her more than she realizes. i also set up the wedding through conversation. instead of just saying, “reader has to go to a wedding.” this allows their dialogue to feel more natural. then, satoru assuming she has a fiancé gives me a natural way to transition into a flashback. (that’s very important to me because i think flashbacks hit harder when something in the present TRIGGERS them. it feels more natural than randomly stopping the story to explain backstory imo)
a few questions i would ask yourself when writing a scene:
does your character realize something?
does a relationship shift?
does a wound get poked?
does tension build?
does the reader learn something important?
if the answer is yes, then your scene has purpose!
3) WRITING EMOTION
꒰ trust your readers. let them read between the lines. ꒱
emotions are complicated. they’re vague. like... look, the part of our brain that handles language and the part that handles emotional regulation are on opposite sides, and they are NOT always working together perfectly, which is why it can be so hard for someone to properly explain HOW they feel. that’s why i rely a lot on sensation and body language. when i’m writing an emotional scene, i stop and think: what is my character feeling right now? and then i ask: how would that feeling show up in the body?
if they’re scared, maybe their heart is racing. maybe their hands tremble. maybe their breathing goes shallow. maybe they go very still. if they’re sad, maybe their body feels heavy. maybe there’s an ache in their chest. maybe their throat tightens. maybe they keep blinking because they don’t want to cry.
sometimes the strongest emotions are the ones the character is trying NOT to show. and that leads into dialogue.
4) WRITING DIALOGUE
꒰ don't think about what is being said, but what is being unsaid. ꒱
good dialogue is built on tension. tension goes a LONG way. think about what your characters are CHOOSING to say. what are they are avoiding? what are they withholding? and what do they wish the other person would understand without having to say it?
here's an example from my fic off the record.
“—I thought your name was Satoru Geto.”
He blinks.
“Huh?”
“…Satoru Geto,” you mutter carefully. “That’s the name on your employee record, no?”
“…is it?” His gaze slips away, fingers scratching at the back of his neck. “Yeah… um. About that. Geto’s actually my best friend. I just used his last name because the initials matched.” He’s flopping back against the seat with a small shrug, one arm slinging across the top. “Made it easier to sign off on stuff that way. Gotta work smarter, not harder, right?”
“Right,” you deadpan, turning back toward the window. “So your plan was to just let me keep calling you that.”
we don’t have to directly explain how they’re feeling. we can infer it. reader is upset because satoru didn’t tell her his real last name. but instead of having her say, “i’m upset that you lied to me,” she keeps her words controlled and dry. that tells us something about her. she’s hurt, but she’s trying to stay composed. meanwhile, satoru feels guilty, but he plays it off with humor. that tells us something about him too. he deflects. he jokes. he tries to make the situation feel less serious because being honest is uncomfortable and he doesn't want to make it worse.
so, if i had to simplify my advice? it would be this:
first, figure out the emotional core of your story. then, figure out your character’s false belief or wound. after that, make sure each scene has a purpose. when writing emotion, show how it feels in the body. and when writing dialogue, pay attention to what your characters are avoiding just as much as what they’re saying.
also, DON'T be too hard on yourself!! writing is a craft, and you only get better by doing it over and over again. every scene teaches you something. every draft teaches you something. you don’t have to be perfect. you just have to keep going. i’m still learning too. there are plenty of times where i stare at a scene like… girl, wtf are we even doing here? 😭 but that’s part of the process!!
thank you again for such a sweet ask, ml. i’m sorry this became a novel, lmao. but i'm honored you’d ask me for advice, and i’m wishing you SO much luck with your writing journey, hopefully this helps! i'm cheering you on — you got this! 🫶🏼
