    Summary

    As a child Waylon Park had been taught the two basic fear responses; fight or flight.

    In Mount Massive he'd used flight, running whenever someone came for him, hiding whenever he could. He didn't know about the third response - fawning. To be meek and submissive, doing what the predator wanted in an effort to keep safe.

    Why would he? The closest Waylon had ever been to a predator - a true predator - was safely observed though glass or bars.

    Not lost in its very lair.

    Summary

    “It’s a fair deal,” Toji tells Shiwoo, in April, after showing up at his doorstep with three duffle bags and two kids trailing after him.

    Shiwoo smokes at the kitchen counter, occasionally leaning into the living room where Megumi and Tsumiki sit, enraptured by his betta fish aquarium. He’s got a pensive expression on his face, arms folded across his chest.

    When he says nothing, Toji repeats. “I camp out in the Star Vessel Corridor for a week and make sure no one kills Tengen’s new shell and in turn, the Jujutsu Tech takes the kid.”

    Shiwoo’s eyes slide over him like water down a duck’s back; quick and almost undetectable. But Toji catches it. His grin feels plastic, his teeth too sharp against the inside of his cheeks. “I’d be stupid not to take it.”

    AKA A story where Fushiguro Toji had different employers for The Hidden Inventory arc and about how, sometimes, the best solution is already in your hands.

    Summary

    Without a cog, D-16 doesn't understand the things that come naturally to others. He's learned to live without, often ignoring the illogical because cogless bots were simply built differently than others. As long as he could pick up a rock- he was fine.

    Until he wasn't.

    Summary

    “Serenade him,” Uraume said with a smirk. “Didn’t you say you still had that guitar?”
    Sukuna stared at the ceiling in silence for a while.
    “…Do you know where he lives?”

    Summary

    When Megumi gets hit with a curse during a mission, Sukuna finds a way to make the most of it.

    *

    Megumi catches on first, gaping at him as he catches Sukuna’s scent. “Are you serious?”

    “It’ll be fun.”

    “This,” he motions to the three of them, “does it for you?”

    "You do it for me, Blessing."
