Gah, thank you so much for the ask!

So, a few of these I think I've mentioned before but who cares, they're still my favorite!

1. through the years, always him - written for last year's NanabinGo, it's a bit of a deviation from my usual stuff in that it's entirely written from Satoru's POV and there are a lot of time skips. As much as I love writing from Nanami's perspective, there's something very freeing in following along Gojo's train of thought and world view.

2. Fireworks & Wishes - part of an a/b/o verse where Gojo is a dominant omega and Nanami a prime alpha. I particularly like this entry because it has baby Yuuji in it and it follows Nanami and Gojo outside of their usual jujutsu responsibilities.

3. oblivious (promise) - ongoing series that I will come back to sometime this year. I like this one because it's a no-powers AU where both Gojo and Nanami fall on the aroace spectrum and it will allow me to explore a bunch of dynamics I'd never played with before, like Sukuna & Nanami and Sukuna/Geto. It's also just an excuse for Nanami cooking for Gojo a lot.

4. Trust the Sun to Rise - oldest of all these works, but one very near and dear to my heart. This is the longest-spanning AU I've got going on, where I explore a bit more about Nanami's time away from jujutsu and how his depression shaped his relationships and informed a lot of his decisions along the way.

5. Director and General - going out on a limb here while simultaneously shooting myself in the foot with an old fic from my other account, one I haven't touched in almost three years but I do want to go back to sooner rather than later. It's a Final Fantasy VII fic, which was my first huge fandom obsession, centered on two of my favorite characters ever (Vincent Valentine and Sephiroth) with a ton of other couples and dynamics thrown in.

If I'm allowed a bit of introspection, much of the pack dynamics I apply to JJK's Tokyo 6 (because Ijichi is always included in this household) comes from the Turks' dynamics in D&G.

Come yell at me about any of these if you like! Especially the FF7 one, as it might get my brain to finally focus back on it so I can update and, dare I hope, finish it? 👀

And that somebody happens to be Sephiroth- broken, lonely, shy, longing for some warmth, any warmth. Imagine Sephiroth, as an adult, meeting someone who's willing to be gentle and caring, and for the first time in his life, allowing himself to be vulnerable, to be human

yes!!!

i adore seph and vincent having a relationship and just Caring for one another, Vin healing both his inner child and combating his thoughts of purposelessness--his only use, the only reason he thinks he's alive, is to suffer as some sort of penance but that's not fucking true!

I always have imagined their reunion as adults going something like Vin expecting a total cold front or anger or something negative, something that vindicates his feelings of failure, that validates the fact that he could of done more and he didn't--and Sephiroth just says something along the lines of I think you were the first person who tried to care about me and thanks him for the effort.

Seph knows that really Vin cared for Lucrecia first, but it's the entirety of the situation he's referencing, the fact that Vincent was the first one to even try to stop the violent domino effect to come.

Seph gains an anchor, a tether to the world, one built not on reverance, not on hate, not on bitter anger, not on competition--but an unconditional love that persists despite of, in spite of, everything he's done. There's no replacement for a love that is safe, for a person you can rely on and confide in. Neither of them ever had this in full and both of them deserve it.

Sephiroth and Vincent deserve so much more than what they were given, they were bled dry and taken from and taken from.

I think they would understand each other in a way that others couldn't fully empathize with or conceptualize, they had the same abusers, they've died at the hands of a violent death and come back to life just to go weapon first into the next conflict.
