    Summary

    Kou might’ve only met Sousuke's mom once, the longest summer of his life ago, but he remembers her well. Has met her indirectly hundreds of times since- in the shape of Mitsuba’s eyes, the similar way they enunciate their questions. (In the smell of incense, the realisation that there are some things you can never bring back. Kou stares at his untied laces, and hopes he can blame it on his burned up hand when he finds he doesn’t know how to look her in the eye.)

    or; a mother who lost her son and a son who lost his mother find a shoulder to lean on.

    Summary

    The night goes like this: wishes on fallen stars. DIY shaved ice on the corner of the rooftop. Brainfreeze. Yugi Amane teaching him how to find Andromeda, held captive at the edge of the horizon. The impossible tower, bent like a question in the dark. Mitsuba’s laughter when he finds that his candy has stained his tongue electric blue.

    And Kou; uncertain why the sound of it makes him feel so unexplainably sad.

    (or; kou doesn't make it out of the painted world in time.)

    Summary

    “Apparitions are going to keep coming after you, and I can’t be everywhere at once,” Teru shoulders his sword bag; a flash of metal, blood and fish-scale catching the sunlight. “If you want to live a normal life, then you’ll need to learn how to defend yourself.”

    (or; teru saves nene from the mermaid instead of hanako)

    Summary

    When she steps into her new class for the first time, Souko spots Reiko immediately.

    There’s nobody else she could be- nobody has ever fitted a name better than the splinter of moonlight sat in the corner of the classroom, with wispy silver hair and bruised shins sticking out the bottom of her school skirt. Reiko stares into the yard with a mild sense of disinterest, her eyes sharp and cat-like and Souko barely hears when she’s asked to introduce herself to the rest of the class.

    or; in another universe, souko enrolls in the same school as reiko. somehow, this changes everything.

    Summary

    There’s another part of her that wants to know. That wants to see how the town she left behind has changed in her absence. Whether it’s still the same place that held and twisted her into someone less than herself, or whether it's grown just as much as she has. Curiosity has always been Aoi’s downfall. Staring into dark corridors, the far shore, that haunted old town by the river- and wondering if she’ll see something looking back at her.

    Besides- it’s been years since she’s seen the snow.

    (or; ten years later, aoi comes home for christmas.)

    Summary

    when aoi quits her job and runs away to a tiny cottage by the beach, she’s expecting the seagulls on her roof, the sand in her shoes, the storms rattling her windows.

    she isn’t, however, expecting the mermaid in her garden pond.

    Summary

    When Aoi is six, she comes to the logical conclusion that Akane is like a weed. His roots dig in deep, she doesn’t remember planting him, and no matter how many times she throws mud at him, he doesn’t go away. (She also comes to the not-so-logical conclusion that, just maybe, that’s what friends are for.)

    (or; akane and aoi were best friends, once.)

    Summary

    Fujita cares too much to have survived this long, Ebisu is annoying- but what kid isn’t- and- Dokuga doesn’t mind them. He can’t call them friends- not yet, not while all their wounds are still open- but maybe, one day, he might.

    (or; Dokuga has spent an entire lifetime preparing for the worst. babysitting Ebisu, however, is one situation he’s not equipped to deal with.)

    Summary

    Sometimes Teru wonders if he stole every bit of power the Minamoto name had to offer- eating up lightning and ozone before Kou was able to take his share. Sometimes he wonders if he’s to blame for the whispers about second son being an unlucky title to hold.

    Other times, Kou is weak, and Teru is glad.

    (or; it's easier to be a good exorcist than it is to be a good brother)

    The first surprise is that the letterbox opens with ease.

    Summary

    The sensible option is the one where Nikaido tells Noi to get out of her restaurant- because they might not need to kill each other any more, but this routine Nikaido has settled back into has no room for smoke-made doors and wicked-bright grins.

    “You’re strong.” Noi tells her, then.

    Summary

    Mitsuba wonders if Kou looks at him, and sees all the lost time they’ll never get back. Or, if he sees a second chance waiting just up ahead- an opportunity to do things differently this time around.

    “Things have changed,” Kou agrees. “But I don’t hate it.”

    (or; on the first day of spring, Mitsuba Sousuke swears that he will never speak to Minamoto Kou ever again. five years later, a tiny restaurant sat between the train tracks is the push he needs to finally move forwards.)

    Summary

    Maths has never let Aoi down. It’s hard to go wrong when there’s a correct answer, a sure truth with no room for error.

    There is no correct answer to explain why she’s so excited to see Nene again.

    (or: aoi has spent her whole life striving for perfection. enter yashiro nene- star of the highschool cheer squad- who might have what it takes to flip her world upside down.)

    Summary

    Genya knows he should just tell the truth. He got frustrated, and thought that strong words of persuasion would revive his bike from the dead. Non-judgemental as he is, Tanjiro would probably just laugh it off and walk home with a smile on his face.

    “I got into a fight,” Genya lies, instead.

    (or; Genya yells at his bike, lies about his ability to kick ass, and gets indoctrinated into Kamado Tanjiro’s Saturday morning brunch club.)

    Summary

    The flower shop next door gets busy around late morning. The neighboring restaurant sees a spike of activity when the lunchtime rush hits.

    For Night Owls Dream Emporium- business rarely kicks off before the sun goes down.
