Megumi wants to have casual hookups but he's a virgin. After Yuji conveniently forgets that he's still on the phone to Sukuna while they discuss getting Megumi laid, Sukuna takes it upon himself to be Megumi's first. The journey to that moment they've both been waiting for takes a few unexpected twists and turns for them.

My thoughts: I absolutely adore the way that Sukuna takes care of Megumi as they navigate some non-penetrative sex and the beginning of Megumi's journey into BDSM. The way that Aye writes both Sukuna and Megumi's insecurities really makes me feel so much for the characters.

There's some beautiful moments of hurt & comfort for both of them, which made me as a reader fall head over heels in love with this story.

I always fall short of the right words to explain how much this fic means to me. I discovered it while searching under the "subdrop" tag, not even specifically looking for sukufushi. It was when I read this fic that it confirmed for me that shipping sukufushi was the place to be. This fic was the one that made realise that I needed to write my own skfs fics!

my thoughts: this fic felt like a warm hug, it's so soft and comforting. clueless sukuna develops a crush on the local florists and suddenly takes an interest in flowers.

when his brother yuuji sends him to pick up a bouquet, sukuna is immediately struck by the man working at there and starts finding excuses to come in twice a week. Sometimes he shows up with coffee for them, as megumi quietly arranges his feelings into floral arrangements with sukuna completely clueless about what any of them mean.

my thoughts: omegaverse scheduled chasing trope!! every year, there is an event called 'The Chase' where alphas hunt omegas through the woods, and if they capture them, they get to have their fun right then and there.

megumi has had a crush on sukuna for years, so when sukuna mentions he's running the Chase this year, megumi signs up specifically hoping to get caught by him.

the chase itself is exactly what you would want from an omegaverse chase scene - it's rough and animalistic when sukuna catches megumi, pushes him into the dirt as he 'fights back', knots him, and then carries him out of the woods like a gentleman. i love when omegaverse fics lean into the primal aspect of the trope, and the implied tradition of claiming omegas.

my thoughts: organized crime, "accidental" pregnancy, and sukuna being the most dramatic yakuza boss who ever lived. i went into this expecting a cute ceo/intern romance and instead got a full-blown mafia thriller with a side of domestic fluff, and im not complaining.

megumi is an emergency vet who gets kidnapped outside his hospital because his dad has old yakuza ties. sukuna, who megumi has been casually dating for like two weeks, turns out to be the head of one of the most powerful clans in japan. he rescues megumi, reveals his true identity, and moves megumi into his penthouse for protection.

the seemingly slowburn of their relationship picks up fast after that; they move in together, get pregnant, get engaged, and have a baby all within the year. but as domestic as all that sounds, there are some truly (wonderfully) unhinged moments in this fic, including a moment of gun play during some power dynamic smut. plus sukuna and toji meeting, and them immediately trying to kill each other. and megumi finding out sukuna's previous wife died under mysterious circumstances.

there are a lot of layers to this fic, and each one is so good.

my thoughts: this is such a sweetomegaverse neighbors fic with a really interesting (and hot) twist on the typical alpha dynamic.

megumi notices his new neighbor, a tall alpha named sukuna, and immediately decides he wants him. but sukuna keeps his distance even though his scent spikes every time they're near each other. megumi, not one to let pride get in the way, bakes him muffins and makes the first move.

the twist is that sukuna has a condition – when he knots, he becomes dangerously feral, and it's ruined past relationships. he's sworn off dating entirely, terrified of hurting someone he cares about. but megumi tells him that's okay, and still wants to be with him, even if sukuna can never give him that one thing.

my thoughts: who doesn't wanna cozy up to a sexy boss/employee slowburn every once in a while? this fic delivers on the build up and teasing, as much as it earns the payoff afterwards, making it a perfect weekend fic!

megumi ends up working as sukuna's personal assistant after missing out on a different career path that he wanted, and quickly gets swept up in the CEO's lifestyle of penthouses and luxury. sukuna might be the one to push professional boundaries first in ways that would land him in hot water with HR were this real life, but fortunately megumi likes it and starts teasing back just as bad, having the whole office side-eyeing them.

my thoughts: oh sukufushi omegaverse, you are always perfect, and this fic captures the best of that! nearly 200k of slowburn, pining, secret identity, and some of the sweetest (and hottest) omegaverse dynamics i've ever read in this fandom. not to mention -- they were roommates!

megumi is an omega who has been burned by the system too many times and decides to hide his scent and pass as a beta, hoping it will make his life less complicated. until he becomes roommates with sukuna, a charming alpha who can't explain why he feels some kind of pull towards the 'beta' he now shares a space with.

the slowburn burns slowly with them dancing around each other, with close call after close call as sukuna keeps nearly discovering megumi's secret. but as megumi is hiding his instincts, sukuna can't help but lean into his, doing little things to care for the omega. meanwhile, megumi is fighting his body and heart from falling for him each time sukuna cooks him a meal, or scent marks him thinking megumi can't tell.

my thoughts: after reading this fic (especially the first chapter) i wanted to curl up with something warm and just think about it. so many soft, beautiful moments that left me feeling emotional.

blind and abandoned by first his father and then his clan, megumi is offered up as a sacrifice to the local deity: true form sukuna. feeling unwanted and having lived a life of cruelty and neglect, megumi waits for the god to kill him. instead, sukuna keeps him.
