Since I, apparently, haven't had enough ideas for a Digimon Adventure reboot sequel yet (and am struggling to get my things for Taikouvember going), have idea number 4:
What if it wasn't exactly reincarnation theory that applied... What if the original timeline had already taken place, but hadn't provided the results Homeostasis had hoped for, leading to the events of The Beginning... What if Homeostasis actually rebooted the timeline, but needed a capable fighter to guide, to lead everyone through once more... What if the reason why 2020!Taichi had seemed so confident and positive, never doubting his duty, always on the right place at the right time was that... This time, he was the vessel Homeostasis chose instead of his sister - who had successfully managed to push its presence out of herself in the previous timeline...?
What if he had been a puppet, doll, marionette all along? What if, once his Crest got activated, Homeostasis had sneaked into his body to give him the quest to befriend the others in this timeline all over again, granting him access to memories of his previous life to succeed. What if that was why Omegamon - and every other evolution level - could have been achieved so easily?
At first it was a fun quest - being the literal "Chosen One". The perfect soldier, strategist, leader. Perfect in every way. A sense of nostalgia to meet his beloved companions all over again, even if they all seemed a little bit different, a little to the left, albeit not any less lovable to him... But there had also been sad memories, memories of failure and loss. Things he wouldn't want to experience again - but also things that a part of him longed and yearned for. A discrepancy that keeps growing in his heart the older he gets, the more memories he acquires. He loves his redheads and will love them in every timeline... But there's also something he desperately misses, something he couldn't get right before. So maybe... He can do it this time...?
(I know there is quite a tendency to write Suffering!Taichi AUs and as long as canon doesn't give me a happy end for him, I will probably always jump right in on it, no matter what happens.)

The air was crisp on the cool Autumn morning, Sora easily snuggling into her jacket as she watches the leaves fall against the wind. With a sigh, she looks out towards couples, happy for others but not quite for herself. She never felt like she truly belonged with anyone. She’d tried dating, of course, but it never really felt right. Too much doubt.Â
“I’m going into high school next year, and I can’t even understand my own heart.” She shakes her head, soon noticing a dorky duo she knows all too well. With a jump she’s on her feet, melancholic feelings lost to the wind as she flags down the wild-haired hooligan and their brilliant buddy.Â
“Sora-san! Hey!”Â
“Hiya Sora! You been good?”
With a light sparkle in her eye and a wide smile, she nods as she returns to her seat, now sandwiched between the two boys. Content with her response, they begin to chat absently about the state of their favorite football team, FC Tokyo, and how well they’re doing in the Japanese league.Â
Sora, for her part, idly listens until Koushirou says, “Actually, Tokyo Verde is doing rather well this season; we may have a rather poor matchup during the Tokyo Derby.”Â
“Oh please! We’re gonna stomp, and you know it, Koushirou!” Sora exclaims, turning to face her friend as her face flushes due to her sudden excitement. In response, Koushirou freezes up as Taichi begins to laugh, soon leading his redheads to do the same.Â
“My apologies, Sora-san; I forgot how heated you can get.” Koushirou smiles fondly at her, comfort written all over his face. His eyes meet hers, and she sees just how deep his unspoken appreciation of her goes. Sora can’t help but feel her heart skip a beat before looking over at Taichi, hoping to be grounded by his presence.
"Yeah, don’t be mad, Sor; he didn’t mean anything by it. We both know how much you love FC Tokyo, but hopefully you love us even more? At least enough to forgive us?” He pleads, flashing a signature toothy grin, blinding her and forcing her to look away.Â
With her face even more flushed than before, she jumps back up, missing their body heat immediately as she begins to walk off. She hears them follow after her, their stares boring holes into her back as she continues. She will NOT turn around. Not like this, not ever.Â
“Sora, don’t be mad! Hey, listen, how about we take you to the Tokyo Derby and you can show off just how hard FC Tokyo will smash? It’ll be a landslide, especially with their biggest fan there!” Taichi pleads, having finally caught up to her, now just mere inches from her.Â
“Yes, statistics cannot account for the power of parasocial relationships.” Koushirou smiles, joking softly in the way only he can, mirroring Taichi but to her left, neither of them able to see her face.Â
Now flanked on both sides by her boys, the two of them pleading for her good graces, she can’t help but start to silently cry. She turns around and nods, wiping away a tear as she gives a wide smile, her wet eyes sparkling like gemstones.Â
“Fine, but the two of you are buying the snacks.”Â
If there was one thing she could never doubt, it was these two.Â
A/N: Shades of Red is a very precious little story I wrote for digiweek 2021 about Taichi falling for not only Sora, but for Koushiro as well. A story about the wonders of polyamorous relationships and that it takes self-knowledge to take that one courageous step towards a life full of love. So have a new shade of red <3
Based on a little Taiora-scenario I wrote in early 2021 which @seventeenlovesthree made sure to provide with beautiful art which I'm still so in love with :3 You can find it here: [x].
Day 8: Rogue or Blush | Characters: Koushiro Izumi (POV) x Sora Takenouchi x Taichi Yagami | Genre: Romance, some sort of hurt/comfort | Rating: T | Wordcount: 1.293
A yawn escaped him as he stretched his slender frame, the office chair rolling slightly to the back. Koushiro was still up, the different monitors on his desk lined up and on. After much complaining from Sora, who was according to him unnecessarily way too worried about his health, he had installed a filter on the screens. That way he could protect his eyes, but still work during night time.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t work in the day time, no, he had grown fond of working with both Taichi and Sora around. However, they had the tendency to distract them and so, being the night owl of the three, he decided to catch up on work during the night. Koushiro liked the quiet, the only sound interfering his endless thoughts the sound of keys clicking.
Time had already gone way past midnight when the sound of his fingers flying over the keyboard was interrupted with bare feet entering their shared office. Koushiro peeked over his computer screens, his eyes picking up on red-colored messy sleep hair, his nose smelling Taichi’s perfume she was bringing with her into the room. Â
“Sora-san, shouldn’t you be asleep?”
His fingers left the keys as he decided to check up on her. He watched her closely and concluded she looked stress. It wasn’t a surprise with the big deadline that was luring from behind a bush called Friday. Koushiro remembered all of her speedy talking which wasn’t very Sora-like, her calm demeanor sliding off.
“I couldn’t,” Sora answered sounding sleepy yet stressed. “Tomorrow’s the first draft for the collection and it feels like I missed a few details. I have to check it.”
Not for one second did she look at him. As if pulled to her drawing table, she walked towards it, her right hand frantically searching for the right pencil underneath the pile of designs. To Koushiro they were all equally wonderful and knowing Sora, he knew she didn’t miss any details. He also knew she was stubborn, perhaps even more so than Taichi, and so he didn’t ask further. Instead he kept a close eye on her while he kept working, thinking it would only be a few minutes before she would return to bed.
But a few minutes turned into over half an hour and Koushiro grew worried. Without saying anything, he stood up to grab the both of them some tea.
“Thanks.” Was all Sora said as he carefully placed the cup on the only empty spot on her drawing table. Her eyes were wide, completely focused on her work. Koushiro looked over all the colors and lines dancing on the papers forming beautiful designs for modernized kimonos.
“I truly admire your skills and ambition, Sora-san. The designs look unquestionably stunning, I’m convinced that they’re enough for a first draft. I’d like to escort you to bed so you can sleep some more.”
“Tell that to yourself, you always stay up late,” Sora snapped back, but immediately realized how mean that was. She finally looked at him. “Sorry, I didn’t mean it like that.”
“I’m aware. You must be tired, hence why I wanted to bring you back to bed,” Koushiro explained calmly.
Sora smiled in return, her tiredness didn’t allow her to keep her lips curled up for too long. “And I appreciate your worry over me. But I just can’t sleep yet.”
Koushiro nodded in response. She gave off a tired look, the determination however made her glow all the same.
A little bit defeated, Koushiro headed back to his seat behind his desk. He sighed before his fingers went back to the keyboard, then started typing once more, the room filled with the tapping sound again. Per usual, it made him loose track of time.
Eventually from the corner of his eye Koushiro could see Taichi’s sleeping body dragging himself into the office. The brown haired man rubbed his eyes and a yawn escaped him as he placed himself next to Koushiro, looking over the computer screens in Sora’s direction. A worried expression emerged on his face and Koushiro looked up to Taichi.
“How long has she been up an working?” Taichi asked with a hoarse sleepy tone followed by another yawn.
Koushiro checked the time.
“It could easily be over an hour now.”
Taichi sighed. It was all he needed to know. He kept standing there, watching her work, worried yet the fondness in his eyes easily outdid the worry.
Even though Koushiro was well aware of Taichi’s adoration and admiration for both him and Sora, he could never get enough of Taichi staring so intensely to especially Sora. It was something he could observe day in and out, it would never grow old.
“What?” Came Sora’s voice. Clearly she had been taking notice of Taichi’s staring. It made Koushiro snap out of his thoughts, however, Taichi only intensified the eye contact he now had with her. “Do I have something on my face?”
“No.” He replied. The features in Taichi’s face changed from intensity to softness accompanied by a cheeky grin.
“Then what is it?” Sora asked, the annoyance in her voice returning.
In a way, even though Taichi meant it well, these little exchanges of words between his two partners made Koushiro feel uncomfortable. Simply because it could go two ways. They would either start bickering, or…
“I just think you’re beautiful.”
Or they would jump each other in a more sexually physical way.
Yes, Koushiro loved them both very much, but their intensity could sometimes be a tad too much. Making him blush in frustration or ecstasy. Often it was both though.
He looked from Taichi to Sora and back in anticipation. Because with Sora being stressed and tired, you could never predict how exactly she would respond.
Koushiro had not expected the cherry red blush on her cheeks radiating warmth and surprise.
“Go back to bed, Taichi,” she stumbled, failing to hide how that one compliment had gotten to her.
“Well, you’ve heard the boss,” Taichi said to Koushiro, taking Sora’s words as his cue to go. “Can you tell her I’d like to see her back in bed soon? And you too by the way.”
Taichi winked and gave Koushiro a sweet small peck on the top of his head before he turned his heel to return back to bed. Alone.
Or so Taichi thought.
Right before he would have left the office, Taichi was stopped by Sora hugging him from behind. Her graceful arms embraced his athletic body, her one hand just able to hold the wrist from her other hand. She pressed her head to Taichi’s back and rubbed her nose into the fabric of Taichi’s sleep shirt, a genuine smile happily dancing on her lips before she spoke.
“Thank you, I needed that.”
Koushiro looked at the both of them, standing in the door way exchanging love in a to him beautiful way. It was tender and fragile, grand in its simplicity.
Where Sora’s blush turned into a warm and grateful pinkish one, Taichi showed a knowing one. Accepting the love he felt for her. For them. And all Koushiro could do was take in the little loving still he was treated to. Â
He recalled how their love wasn’t self-evident from the beginning, especially to Taichi. But the road he had followed together with Sora and Koushiro had led him to being his happy and cheesy self again. Where his blush first was one of confusion and shame, it now showed his pride and a genuine love.
Koushiro smiled, a shared blush like rouge now complimenting his own face. Happy he was here with them, being able to see the love unfold in front of him over and over again.

Your resident Taikoura president took over two decades to realize that these two scenes are actually parallels to one another.
Probably because they're not playing out in the exact same way and don't have the same weight in the grand scheme of things; one moment is framing a B plot, the other is sprinkled into the A plot, but more in the back. But in the end, they have, indeed, several things in common:
Taichi Yagami may need a while to get over his own stubbornness, but once it hits him, once he's realized that he was in the wrong, he will take the step to apologize.
Note that in both scenes, he is not being 100% straightforward - in Sora's case, he is sending a mail, in Koushirou's, he can't look him in the eyes. There is a sense of shame, of guilt; it took him a while in both cases (days in the former, minutes in the latter) to realize his wrongs after all, that he may have been insensitive to some degree, so it takes a bit of courage to get out the correct words...
On the other hand, one may want to argue that the "reasons" for their fights seem rather "insignificant" at first glance - but that is the exact point, let's not forget we're talking about 11- and 12-year-olds here. Without going too much into analysis mode here, both scenes are intertwined in their respective arcs: Sora may have gotten mad at Taichi because she is not at peace with herself and struggles with her identity at that point ("Should I dress more feminine or not, should I change my appearance, am I not appreciated and liked for how I always was?"). And, obviously, Taichi didn't have the context of her getting mad. Koushirou on the other hand historically struggles with reading the room when he is in hyperfocus mode and him reading e-mails in a tone that may have hit a nerve in Taichi was inevitable - Taichi was on edge already anyway and getting unintentionally "criticized" may have been the tip of the iceberg for him to snap. So in a way - Taichi upsetting Sora and Koushirou upsetting Taichi both happened by accident due to communicative misunderstandings.
Despite both instances being stretched out over several scenes, the most important part is: both Sora and Koushirou are forgiving Taichi eventually. There is no malice, no bad blood, no "break" in their bond, no matter what happens.
And in a very deep, meta, "reading way too much into everything" kind of way, Taichi's bond with Sora and Koushirou is also being mirrored with his bond with Agumon/WarGreymon. Because Taichi was reckless, WarGreymon could not have kept on fighting and got hurt. Hence why Taichi "indirectly" apologizes for that too - because in the end, they will only succeed when they overcome their struggles together.
