Summary
What feels like a lightning bolt lances through his temples and Katsuki almost doubles over from the pain. Nausea roils faintly in the pit of his stomach.
Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.
He should’ve known. Should’ve recognised what an aura felt like.
Katsuki’s used to headaches. He can handle a headache.
But he hasn't had a migraine in YEARS.
Bakugou Katsuki is a revered Pro Hero. A goddamn adult. Most importantly, he's engaged to the manly, compassionate love of his life, for whom he has organised the surprise party to end all surprise parties.
He isn't about to let an unexpected migraine derail his plans. He can do this.
(Right?)

Summary
Katsuki feels it. Something he hasn’t felt for a long, long time.
(Something he thought he’d lost).
His taste buds, revelling. His stomach, clamouring. His heart, warming.
Slowly, carefully, as if in a stupor, Katsuki has another spoonful.
There it is again.
Contentment. Enrichment.
Pure, honest satisfaction.
Following a disappointing meal at a high-end restaurant, disillusioned young food critic Bakugou Katsuki stumbles upon an Indian eatery in the neon-soaked back alleys of Tokyo. When he tastes the humble redheaded chef's authentic home recipes, Katsuki finds himself reclaiming something he'd thought long lost.
OR: Katsuki and Eijirou share stories, memories and something deeper- one meal at a time.

Summary
“What?” he says. “Why’re you looking at me like that?”
Wordlessly, Bakugou raises his right arm. Eijirou’s left arm rises with it.
Eijirou gapes at their conjoined appendages. How their limbs firmly connect from the elbow onwards, their hands clasping and fingers twining together firmly.
He tries to pull his hand free. It doesn’t budge.
He tries to wiggle his fingers loose. They don’t move an inch.
The dots connect.
OR: an unfortunate quirk incident forces Eijirou to face up to his feelings (in more ways than one).

Summary
There’s a cat in Katsuki’s genkan.

(God, he hopes so).
He squints sleepily through his glasses.
Nope. It's real.
There’s a CAT in Katsuki’s GENKAN.By some twist of fate, Katsuki and Eijirou find themselves as doting parents to a spider-slaughtering terror of a kitten. But as they adjust to this new addition to their already hectic lives, Katsuki finds himself coming to grips with a lifelong fear.

Summary
“How can you be so sure of that?” Satoru asks, defiantly, unwilling to admit to the nightmares of it becoming true that haunt him too.
“Every son becomes their father,” Hajime says and he sounds so sure of it, entirely dismissive of any other possibility. Satoru would rather die than become his father. “He's cursed by his blood bonds. And they will curse you too if you don't take care of it now.”
or: Satoru's father dies.

Summary
He doesn’t stay in the same room he used as a teenager. He couldn’t bear it – the proximity to Suguru’s old room, the memory of a happiness he hasn’t known in a decade. But even though there are a couple floors between his new room and that graveyard, he swears he can still hear Suguru’s voice drifting through the floorboards.
Satoru, he hears him say, thank you for letting me go and allowing me to find a new family. These past ten years, I’ve been happier than I ever was while at Jujutsu High.
Goodbye, now. Let’s not meet again.The events of December 24th, 2017. What we saw, and what we didn't.

Summary
“I need a favor,” Gojo announced.
“No.”
“You didn’t even hear what it was.”
“That has never mattered before.”
There was an offended silence on the other end of the phone. Nanami sat up slowly, already exhausted in anticipation.
“You’re such a negative person.”
“And yet somehow still consistently correct.”
Gojo sighed dramatically into the phone. “Hypothetically speaking, how do you feel about children?”
Nanami hung up immediately.
or
Gojo drops Megumi off at Nanami's apartment for "a couple hours."
It turns into an entire weekend.Series

Summary
“It’s defective,” Satoru announces as he swings into the morgue, purple cat-carrier in hand. “You got me a defective cat.”
“She’s defective,” Shoko sighs, peeling off her gloves. She peers into the carrier when Satoru places it down on the slab, brows pinching. She tilts her head left, then right. The creature inside snuffles. “Looks fine to me.”
“It breathes wrong,” he complains, “and it keeps making this coughing noise. It snores like a fucking pensioner – look, let me just—”
“Don’t you dare release your cat into a sterile environment,” Shoko snaps, slapping his hands away from the clips. “She shouldn’t even be in here.”
Satoru looks pointedly at the cursed blood dripping, violet and viscous, from the opposite mortuary cot. “Right,” he drawls. Then: “Can you send it back?”
She stares at him. “You did not just ask that.”
(Following the tragedy of Christmas Eve 2017, Shoko gets Satoru a cat. She has asthma.)
