Summary
A soft world with no grand battles, no destiny, and no urgency.
I wake up in a forest. A Kricketot is watching me. The stars are unfamiliar, the fire warm, and nothing asks me to save the world.
Just stay. Walk. Stretch. Breathe. Be.
This is a story about choosing gentleness and being chosen back.

Summary
“Don’t just survive found family, Hotaru-chan— romanticise it like a tiny emotional war god,” Tsurumaru said, lounging above him like a white-haired chaos spirit incarnate.
Hotarumaru paused. Then brightened with absolute sincerity.
“…I think I can do that.”
Akashi and Aizen are emotionally constipated.
Hotarumaru has a dream, diagrams, glitter pens, and dango.
He’s going to change the world.A semi-satirical, fully sincere follow-up to the Kagami trilogy—but also perfectly readable on its own.
No prior sword-brother experience required (though prior emotional constipation may help).

Summary
Andrea“ Kimi” Antonelli was treated as an inconvenience all his life. He makes himself one when his distant parents decide to ship him off to the States.
This is a story about boys who learned love the hard way. About quiet touches that say “you’re safe now,” about dinners where everyone finally stays. It’s about Lando holding Kimi like a promise, him learning that being chosen isn’t temporary, and two parents who built a home soft enough to catch all the broken pieces.
