I rewatched Noragami a few weeks ago and feel in love with these characters again

Part of my #Thanksvember series, a daily fic rec challenge created by @anidealiveson to show our appreciation for all fic writers out there.

Seems like forever ago when I was into Noragami and loved Yukine’s character like my own son, though I never read his relationship with Yato as like a father/son relationship. I always preferred queerer readings (I mean, come on, they're not even human), and this fic sort of gets it. Its examination of the boundary between love and lust is interesting, and despite what the warnings might suggest, it's pretty soft and sweet. Worth giving it a read.

Summary:

It happens again. A bright shot of agony, arcing down your back. It’s worse this time, stronger. You gasp. Your skin glows with pain.

A quick check on Yukine’s mind reveals he’s far from asleep. No, he’s awake, all right, and thinking of—

Oh, no. No, no, no.

In other words, Yato begins to suspect Yukine is in lust with him. This is both painful and problematic.
