    Summary

    It all started, in hindsight, with the release of the game called [Red Sands: In Search of the Scarlet Dawn], something of a ridiculous ‘otome’ game featuring the prominent shinobi of Konoha in an odd feudal systems of sorts. A game in which Haruno Sakura was cast as the villainess, her legacy made light of, and her appearance twisted until she was practically unrecognisable. It wasn’t a flattering game to her, and yet it was popular – popular enough for some diehard fan to go out of their way to kill the villainess standing between Sasuke and Hinata’s happiness.

    Yet that wasn’t the end of it, rather, death was the beginning of it: of the real Haruno Sakura waking up within that strange world of a game and refusing to follow the so-called ‘plot’ no matter how far along it is.

    (or; in which Haruno Sakura becomes a protagonist in the popularised ‘reincarnation as a villainess’ trope, and ponders on why in the seven dimensions did someone create a Madara Route – and how can she get off it, pretty please?)

    Summary

    Last week, Robin landed bloody and unconscious on your fire escape. By the time Batman arrives, he finds you, injured, backed into a corner, carrying his unconscious son on your back, and waving a knife at masked men who broke into your apartment to finish the job.

    This week, you somehow keep running into the children of the richest man in the city. Who, for some reason, won’t stop calling you mom.

    Summary

    Fuck you, Atsumu thinks, pointing at the pixelated Sakusa in the team photo on his bedside table.

    It’s easier than you’d think to ignore loving your teammate.

    Summary

    Oikawa touched Ushijima’s shoulder, lingering. “You wouldn’t laugh at me if I did something stupid, would you, Ushiwaka?”

    There was a low lurch deep in Ushijima’s gut. “Of course not.”

    Oikawa nodded, more to himself than Ushijima. “I’m about to do something stupid, then. Stop me, if you want.” He took another step closer, and Ushijima’s field of vision was only Oikawa.

    The light touch on Ushijima’s jaw grew firmer as Oikawa’s hand settled. The other one rose to match it, cupping the other side of Ushijima’s face. Oikawa’s palms were warm. So was his breath, as it fanned across Ushijima’s lips.

    “Anytime,” said Oikawa, his voice so low it was nearly a whisper. “Stop me anytime.”

    Ushijima didn’t.
