    Summary

    “And who are you, again?”

    “Fushiguro Megumi, special inspector,” the man said sharply. “Do you realize how stupid you all were? You could have been killed. Do what you’re told next time.”

    “People were killed,” Yuji said and gestured to the swaying ceiling above them. “If anyone else was going to die, it would have been while we were stuck waiting for you to get here. What are you even inspecting for?”

    “...Pests.”

    “...Pests?”

    “Yes.”
     

    -

     

    Or, in a world where Itadori Wasuke never died, Yuji has been working as a firefighter, blissfully unaware of curses. He takes care of his grandfather, helps out around the neighborhood, and saves cats from trees in a quiet corner of Sendai.

    Megumi, on the other hand, is tired of the jujutsu world. When he comes across a young man too good to be true, he falls for him. And Megumi is perfectly happy keeping Yuji in the dark about jujutsu to preserve their small slice of normalcy.

    However, Kenjaku never planned on letting Sukuna's Vessel live in peace forever. Soon enough, his plans would come together, and no meddling sorcerers were going to stand between him and his tools.

    Summary

    He was exceedingly polite. An exemplary guard. He followed her everywhere, as close and as silent as a shadow. Despite his slight stature, the Sword that Seals the Darkness—a breathtakingly storied weapon—glinted perfectly over his shoulder at all times, like it belonged nowhere else. He lived up to the promise of every legend ever recorded in Hyrule’s history.

    “What’s there to think?” she said finally. “He’s perfect.”

    And she couldn’t stand him.

    Pre-BOTW oneshots involving Zelda and Link reckoning with their destinies, together. Includes: one in which Zelda asks Link to teach her his way of signing; one where they get stuck in a cave; and one where there's a big dance at the castle.

    "You can't, you dare not recognize me, Sukuna," Yuuji hisses through gritted teeth, trying to maintain the cursed energy ready.

    Summary

    Takayanagi Kyoichiro swears he's not suicidal, he's simply a suicide enthusiast. He can admit, however, that suicide via carbon-monoxide poisoning might have been more pleasant than getting flattened by a 600-pound truck.

    Ah, well, he's here anyway, he might as well enjoy the happy retirement life he didn't get to have before.

    Unfortunately, he has landed right in the middle of wartime, and there are homicidal ninja coming in for his advice. Just because he was a high school counselor and teacher who knew how to deal with emotionally unstable teenagers doesn't mean he actually enjoys the job, so please go away, thank you.

    TLDR; A former assassin-turned-ethics-teacher reincarnates into a world of ninjas and decides to enjoy retirement. However, these trigger-happy ninja won't leave him alone...

When the risen Voldemort calls his followers once again, sixteen years later, Regulus makes haste to the home he left behind half a lifetime ago, reconnecting with his estranged brother and settling on a very different side of the conflict, with a very different set of allies. The Order of the Phoenix is reborn from the fog of the brewing Second War, tugging forth both old conflicts and new.

    Summary

    Jason had known Louise for years. She’d been his getaway driver, his alibi, a co-conspirator. He had bailed her out of the trouble she got herself into more times than he could count. With a straight face she told Batman she had never even heard of the Red Hood, while he was passed out on her couch. He confirmed to many an HR department that she definitely worked for him, uh-huh, five years in accounts? Absolutely, best accountant he’d ever had. She’d been ‘borrowing’ his vacuum cleaner for years now. He attended her grandpa's funeral.

    Boyfriends and girlfriends came and went. Heroes and villains, dubious costumes and harebrained schemes.

    They remained.

    Then Obito tells him he's only one suitable for the job.

    And fighting isn't so much a choice as it is something he's flung into head-first, his last decision ripped away from him in its entirety. But if he doesn't have a choice, he might as well try his best now that he's here.

    A lot of people see working as a Clerk at Lobotomy Corporation as a guaranteed death sentence. What exactly are you supposed to do against the terrifying monsters within the facility with a handgun and a suit? My colleagues had an answer for that.

    "Pray for help or save a bullet for yourself."

    I'm not so sure why they're so negative about this gig, nothing bad has happened to me ever since I started working here! It's been damn near smooth sailing!

    Can't say the same for some of my coworkers though...
