    Summary

    There is no clear moment, not really, but there is one that sticks out in his mind, when he knew with a sickening sort of thud inside him, a punch to the jaw in an anything goes bare-fist fight, no chance to hide his weak spots in the aftermath.

    “No.” Suguru says, enunciating carefully, as though his lack of diction is the issue.

    “But Suguru,” Satoru whines, heavy on the last syllable, and Suguru can feel Shoko shift beside him.

    “Why do you say his name like that?” She snips before Satoru can continue with his impassioned plea or Suguru can try to intercede, cut him off. “Just say it normal, be normal.” She kicks out and misses Satoru, standing at the edge of the bed, and hits Suguru, who grunts in response. “Oops.”

    Suguru waves it off.

    “When is he ever normal?” He asks, rolling his eyes at her. Shoko snorts out a laugh, her leg resting over Suguru’s shin, a comforting warmth.

    “So true.” Shoko responds, flicking open her phone.

    “I’m literally right here.” Satoru practically shouts, tossing his sunglasses haphazardly onto Suguru’s bedside table, “terrible friendship, terrible friends,” and Suguru closes his eyes because he knows what is coming next, “Suguru,” Satoru whines again.

    Summary

    “You are Geto Suguru.” Satoru continued with a burning intensity. “Your favourite food is zaru soba but you used to buy sweets just because I like them. You're better than me at martial arts and the first time we met, we fought. You got this scar on your chin from it. I have one on my forearm. You never liked your father. You have trouble sleeping. You hate my taste in music. I haven’t met a better listener than you no matter how much time goes past. You are kind, beneath it all, even if you think you aren’t.”

    Something stirred in Kenjaku's carefully critical expression, but the words bled out of Satoru like they had sat beneath his skin for years. Perhaps they had. “You are Geto Suguru, and you are my friend, and you never stopped being my friend. You are Geto Suguru, and you are strong enough to overcome this."

    OR,

    sometimes you need to torment an ancient sorcerer with videos of your insufferable youth in order to get your dead ex back. it happens.

    Summary

    Someone ordered the most bitter coffee on the menu. He did not question why. Everyone has their preference, Suguru thought to himself.

    “Satoru? Ah, that’s a nice name,” he muttered to himself before looking up to see the man who placed the order, ready to pay.

    But for some reason, the person’s eyes that were the color of clear blue sky stared at him, and those eyes held a certain emotion Suguru could not quite describe. It was as though the man was seeing a past in his own present. A memory in another life overlapping with the memory of this life. It was that transient moment in time when everything seems to make absolute sense.

    It feels as though it finally made sense, why Satoru would always wake up from the same dream, crying over the same person, in the same place that was not quite the same as the City he lives in.

    It made sense, because the very person he always sees in his dream is right in front of him, calling his name.

    “Satoru?”

    Or: Gojo Satoru remembers his past life in an alternate universe where he was the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer and how he met Geto Suguru in his current life.

    Summary

    “After so much death and destruction, I never thought I would bring life into this world.”

    “You believe him to be yours?” It was not a mere question of relation, but the possibility of this boy being their master’s direct progeny. Uraume was doubtful in comparison. Rarely had they observed their master indulge in carnal desires without satiating a different hunger afterward. When had there been an opportunity for his prey to escape? The answer was never. Yet, Uraume would concede that they did not know Sukuna all his life. Given their current estimations of the boy’s age, it would mean he was spawned well before Uraume had pledged themselves to their master’s side. Still…

    “His cursed energy and strength alone… The hatred he carried felt far too personal. If not for dishonoring his mother, then what? Not that I could possibly remember who she could be…”

     

    ♦ Uraume observes their master's reunion with the strange and unruly son he never knew he had. A son who doesn't appear to want anything to do with him, yet if that were truly the case, then why did his path converge with theirs?

    Summary

    It was not uncommon for cursed spirits to manifest within or near school grounds. It was expected, and often monitored, which made the appearance of this ‘Yuji-sama’ all the more intriguing, if only for the fact that it appears to be a rather recent phenomenon. Any older, and such a name would have fallen into urban legend or spread further amongst the alumni and out to the public. Jujutsu Tech should have also picked up on this by now, and perhaps they already have.

    Suguru would have to make sure of their involvement before he dared to humor the idea of treading on Sugisawa’s school grounds to witness this cursed spirit for himself.

    “A cursed spirit answering to the whims of a bunch of monkeys. Tamed with cheap convenience store snacks and a couple homemade cookies for good measure.”

    Suguru shook his head in disbelief.

     

    ♦ Suguru stumbles across a rumor of a benevolent cursed spirit accepting offerings in exchange for favors and minor miracles. What he expects to find is nothing more than another curse to add to his growing collection. What the man finds, however, dares to shake his fundamental understanding of the world he resides in.
