Summary
“My eyes are up here." “Can’t help it, you have pretty lips.”
“Do I now?”
“Yes, and very kissable ones at that."
—
“The vegetables-“ “Can wait,” Niragi breathes out. They stumble backwards just for Karube to back him up against the kitchen counter, not trapping him and more asking, pleading to stay. “Missed you..-“
—
Slowly, Karube sinks to his knees in silence to nothing but the rhythmic beating of his own heart while is mind keeps chanting ‘yes, whatever you want. Whenever. However. I’m yours…’ like a poem.Day 1 - Handholding + Eye Contact (nsfw edition)
Or: Niragi and Karube have gentle (and desperate) sex against the kitchen counter and on the table. Lots of hand holding, dirty talk, questionable sock motives, Karube being very eager to please, appreciation of top-surgury scars and two people making each other feel good.

Summary
Niragi and Kuzuryu do everything to achieve the only one bed trope. Karube does everything for a flawless vacation. Three people not knowing they're actually very much working against each other while trying to achieve the same goal. What could go wrong.
Danmori-Hotel employee Enji questions his life choices.
Day 2 - Only One Bed (reversed aka 'too many beds')
Or: There were... too many beds, actually. (And Kuzuryu's excel spreadsheets did not help). How did the total amount of beds reach such ridiculous dimensions? Well...

Navy Blue (The King Of Pick-Up Lines) by NobodysPoet
Fandoms: 今際の国のアリス | Imawa no Kuni no Alice | Alice in Borderland (TV)
30 Jul 2025

Summary
Kuzuryu is certain nobody would want to hear those lines. Actually. In an ideal world, the list would be burned.
Time to make a fool of himself...Does your name start with 'C'? Because I can 'C' us getting together tonight.
"Would you mind sharing your name?" He asks. That wasn't as bad. He can work with this.You’ve got something on your face. Wait, no, it’s just missing something. My face.
Aside from being hot, what do you do for a living?
Nevermind. It is in fact that bad. Well. Here goes nothing...Day 3 - Firsts (first time trying out pick-up lines and somehow being successful)
Or: Kuzuryu lost a bet so now he has to say 18 different pick-up lines to a stranger, one worse than the previous one. Luckily there is some room for interpretation. Niragi is fairly sure he just met the King of Pick-up lines. (Sasaki is confused why his list is working). Never underestimate Kuzuryu's ability to turn every not-safe-for-work atrocity into more and more sweet romance.

Summary
“You know what, you can be a king to,” Kyuma says before shovelling sand into his welly boots, much to Kuzuryu’s horror. “King Ginji and King Ichi-chan!”
—
“My sister has a boyfriend now,” Kuzuryu mentions before moving one of his pawns forward, ignoring the checkmate opportunity, hoping to prolong the game.
“Eww. You know what, if we’re not married by 30, I’ll just marry you, Ichi-chan. Girls are stupid anyway,” Kyuma says, moving his queen back to the same spot once again.
—
“How sweet, is that your father?” Someone points over to Kyuma who's carrying all of their ice cream.
“What? No. That’s uncle Keiichi’s Jinjin,” his nephew says, paying the stranger no mind.Day 4 - Childhood friends to Lovers + Confessions
Or: Hurt/Comfort, slow burn spanning multiple decades and most importantly: Maybe it is time to tell a story. One that hasn't been told yet. At least not out loud.
Kyuma and Kuzuryu growing up together through happiness, sadness and everything life throws at them, be it sandy shoes or more important promises.Series

In your Eyes I find Peace (In your Arms I feel Safe) by NobodysPoet

Summary
“Ryou, I’m right here. I’m here, I’m okay, please..-”
Arms tighten around his waist. His eyes shoot open and he chokes out a gasp. His eyes try to adjust to the dim light. “Hey, you’re okay, I’m right here, breathe with me, okay? I’m right here,” Karube repeats like a broken record.
...
“I hate seeing you cry..."Day 5: Post Borderlands (hurt/comfort)
Or: Arisu struggles with nightmares. Luckily he has Karube who is nothing but patient and maybe they'll realise how both of them need to find some comfort in each other. After all, there's a comfort in hurt/comfort.

You're On My Hit List (Allegedly) So Hit On Me Please by NobodysPoet
Fandoms: 今際の国のアリス | Imawa no Kuni no Alice | Alice in Borderland (TV)
01 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
The inherent romanticism of having the same target just to realise he is not a dangerous ciminal but a bit of a (lovely said) dork and cooking soup for him together while accidentally (allegedly) falling for the woman you pretend is your wife and the guy you're (not) trying to kill.
—
“What are you doing in my house!”
Chishiya sighs. “It is I. Your boyfriend. Don’t you remember, my love?”“And that's my wife.” Chishiya states dryly, causing the woman to stare at him in disbelief. “Bunny. I think our dear Ryouhei has a higher fever than anticipated.”
“Am I dating her too?” Arisu mumbles.
“No, you-“ “Why yes, sweetheart,” the woman subtly glares at him.
—
“Usa- Yuzuha. Wife. Dearest. Why am I cuddling with the target… of our affection."Day 6: Sick Day + Pretended Relationship
Or: Assassination Rule Number 1: don't fall for the target.
Unfortunately the instructions didn't mention nursing the target back to health with your rival assassin while pretending to be married to her so was this actually Chishiya's fault?Series

Fandoms: 今際の国のアリス | Imawa no Kuni no Alice | Alice in Borderland (TV)
04 Aug 2025

Summary
Niragi stops in his tracks. He makes eye contact with Tatta, then Kyuma. He looks down, then at the foldable camping chairs in the middle of the fucking living room, water buckets at their feet and a towel on Tatta’s legs while Kyuma has one on his head for some fucking reason.
“What the fuck are the two of you doing.”
“Warm,” Tatta sighs.
“And the weather requires you to sit in a camping chair, butt naked?”
—
“I love you.” Kyuma says.
“Marry me,” Tatta says.
“This would be very romantic if you weren’t looking at the water melon while saying it,” Niragi points out.Day 7 - Heat Wave (+ holding an intervention in camping chairs as one does)
Or: Everything's too warm. Except for the water, apparently. Maybe Tatta and Kyuma have to hold an intervention about Niragi always using up all of the warm water. Featuring bickering, fluff, a water melon, humour and the secret of the water thief getting revealed.
