Belkia actually stands out in that I would call his end one of selfless stupidity. In the end, the work he did… He was satisfied as long as he could help people

And I REALLY love how that informs his current personality. He will no longer quietly fade into the background. Notice him. Give him your attention. He will be loud. He will be obnoxious. He is bright colors and impossible acts. He voices his opinions without filter. If he’s annoying, so be it!

The operating theater is his past, and the world itself is his future.

I think that they all would get along really well. Like genuinely once they sort through the things they've done to each other during the war, probably starting with Kuro apologizing for nearly biting Belkia.

And poking a hole in his hat, which may be more unforgivable.

Team M by themselves have a variety of different personalities and different interests so it's not so out of the blue to have Mahiru and Kuro's personalities and quirks to the mix. And even then, the usual trauma that surrounds any of the Melanchonies actually still somewhat applies to the both of them; Mahiru who has suicidal ideation and would rather die than be alone again and Kuro who, pre-realizing he needs to help Mahiru like he helped him, would have taken any chance to die and stay dead.

Also all having beef with C3 in some form or another is something that can tie them together rather nicely.

Kuro would be far more awkward with the Elites than Mahiru would simply because he's just like that but he's gonna try.

Kuro recommending good games to Sakuya, Belkia and Otogiri. He learns and factors in their taste. He keeps beating Belkia in Mario Kart and he gets all pissy about it.

I hc that Kuro is more creatively inclined and writes/has written so once that fact slips out he and Higan have at least a little something to talk about (Art, meaning. The artist and writer friendships are real and Strong.)

Mahiru and Shamrock joining together in their housekeeping skills. Mahiru's apartment and Tsubaki's penthouse have never sparkled more. Going grocery shopping together and teaching/learning tips and tricks. They get along swimmingly.

Kuro @ Shamrock: Damn theres two of them now

Belkia and Mahiru is something im not yet sure what to do with but we'll get there.

Otogiri and Mahiru would work and it'd start when Mahiru asks about her thread/string and Otogiri answering questions which leads to the both of them sharing pictures of their latest sewing projects.

Kuro and Otogiri would chill but also she thinks his kitty form is really cute and wants to pet him. It takes a bit but Kuro eventually allows it willingly.

Mahiru and Higan just Works. Somehow. They def get along better than Higan and Sham so theres that at least.

OKAY SO. I still need to finish it because it turned so much bigger than I wanted it to be. But basically, it's a silly little Team M AU (with a focus on Shamrock/Tsubaki but Tsubaki has something going on with all the others too) where they are all roommates. Tsubaki has to cope with Shamrock visiting his family for a few weeks.

There is so much symbolism. Everybody is absolutely unhinged. Sakuya is stealing Tsubaki's favorite mugs. Belkia does not have a single line of normal dialogue. I love it and I hope I can finish it in time for you to read it during the holidays!!

Summary: It’s been a year since Iruka unmasked the ANBU Hound, and since then he and Kakashi have grown closer than Iruka ever dared to dream. But there are still things Kakashi keeps from him: he won’t talk about his father or his genin team, although rumours about their deaths have always been rife. Iruka’s chance to learn more finally comes when they celebrate Obon together – the summer festival of the dead. One sweltering night, they invite the spirits of their loved ones into Kakashi’s home, but on the second night, when they try to send them back to the underworld, something goes wrong. The dead still linger in Kakashi’s house – and they’re restless. All Iruka has is a handful of seals, a book of ghost stories, and his feelings for Kakashi, which burn so brightly he’s starting to question their nature. But he will protect Kakashi and no one can stop him – not the living or the dead.
