    Summary

    He was stuck in these underground ruins with three weeping apprentices. If Qifrey was going to be the death of him, he’d appreciate some good old fashioned murder instead of this doing him in.

    Summary

    “That’s an ugly pet you’ve got there,” Satoru comments, peering over Yuuji’s shoulder for a better look at the blob of baby-pink flesh he’s cradling.

    A baleful red eye bores into him. “Gojou Satoru—”

    “I think he’s kinda cute.”

    Sukuna’s comically tiny mouth—made all the more hilarious by how the voice coming from within is still his deep bass—snaps shut, that single eye swiveling back to Yuuji while dripping offense and incredulity.

    “Cute?” Satoru asks, joining Sukuna in staring at Yuuji.

    There’s an unrepentant shrug. “Like a very weird cat. I think he’d be a cat, if he were an animal. You too, sensei. Different types, though. Very different.”

    “You’ve…put a lot of thought into this,” Satoru says faintly.

    “I’ve had a lot of time to think.” Yuuji smiles. The first smile Satoru’s seen from him, and all he can think is that Yuuji should never, ever smile—not like this. “Hey, Sukuna? If I give you the choice to stay with me, you’ll just say no again, right?”

    In one world, death snatches Satoru away from the arms of victory. In this one, his student saves him from the jaws of death.

    But this isn’t the Yuuji he knows.

    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?
