#Eugeo: Kazuto I—

[shima-draws]

Actually yeah now that I’ve got Yujikiri on the brain. I feel that Eugeo would rarely ever call Kirito Kazuto bc 1. Eugeo met him and grew up with him and knew him as Kirito so it’s just engrained into him at this point and 2. Because Kiri’s fine being referred to as Kirito, it’s actually more strange to hear someone call him Kazuto. BUT. The rare times Eugeo DOES whip out the real name. Kirito gets reeeeal flustered lol

Okay, and so what if I genuinely really like SAO? It was one of my first anime and means a lot to me, okay?? And, maybe I like analyzing how female vs. male characters are portrayed, and talking about the flaws of media with my friend and SAO is a really good example of that? Maybe I think Asuna and Kirito are a good example of a healthy and meaningful relationship, and what of it? SO WHAT, If I wrote a whole ESSAY about Kirito and Eugeo’s relationship? WHAT IF I do really like this show???

i just came to the realization that saudade is basically kirito's and asuna's word with eugeo and with yuuki and even with each other. i can't even begin to explain it. it's such a powerful word that has no translation into english at all, and even its meaning in other latin languages is different from its meaning in portuguese, but it's their word.

because saudade is about missing something so deeply that it hurts. it describes the melancholy that comes when you lose something or someone that may never come back. it's about asuna's feelings when she thinks of yuuki and realizes that she lost part of her heart when yuuki died. it's about kazuto thinking of eugeo and seeing that a part of his soul will never return. it's about what kazuto felt when asuna was trapped in ALO, or what asuna felt during the underworld war arc.

but also, strangely enough, saudade can be about missing someone even though we know we haven't lost them forever, even though we know that person will come back. it's about affection and warmth and love. it can be a good and necessary feeling that don't need to be followed by pain. such a complex word, but i think it fits them perfectly.

My Yujikiri Fanfics Thread

I apologize for the wait, my life is insanity @kiri-sleep. Since you didn't really specify genre, I'll try to group things by fanfic theme just in case you have any particular preferences or squicks or absolute no-go's. Does include some more Yujikiri heavy Yujikirisuna and one Kirito is horny for...every cute boy.

If you prefer to just browse, my AO3 is aj_linguistik.

These are just mine since I don't do much reading on my own time, but I encourage other people to make their own posts and/or add their own fics/suggestions to the bottom of this one for a long Yujikiri-themed thread!

yujikiri fics masterlist

purely for the reason of having my writing on this site too, i’ve decided to make a list of all the yujikiri fics i’ve written so far. i won’t be updating this list with any new fics i write for these two from this point on, those will get their own post whenever i DO post them. (also, please do note all of these fics are at least 1.5 years old and it shows in my writing)

through the pain of it all -  part one of a two-part series. a s3 retelling, which was SUPOSED to be a soulmates au. i forgot this detail halfway through.

incredibly, and utterly, stupid - part two of aforementioned series. exists purely bcs my friend, upon seeing the visual for i will (the ed) requested a boat date for them.

fond touches and fonder hearts - do you ever adore a character so much you project your love for them onto another? yeah. this is smitten kirito galore. feat. one of my favorite yujikiri flavors: sword mastery academy era

moments of comfort and adoration - this was a birthday gift for the same friend who requested the boat ride date. i will be 100% honest i don’t remember what happens in this one. i think they go on a date at a planetarium. maybe.

behind the veil of sleep, i dream of you - written for day 1 of yujikiri week 2021, the prompt being dreams. 

enchantments and exasperation - this was written for day two (prompt: AU), and it was a purely self indulgent mage eugeo au.

fascinated by your gaze - i am absolutely in love with eugeo’s eyes, they are SO pretty and of course i had to project that onto kirito. this was written for day 3, with the prompt being eyes.

memories, remaining and forgotten - written for day 5, prompt being memories. ironically, i don’t remember what this one was about, but according to my tags it might be a short reminiscing fic? 

a journey of adjusting and confusion - day 6, prompt gameverse. eugeo joins ALO and GGO. it was pretty fun ngl (also, first time writing from eugeo’s pov)

scales of frost and thawing hearts - day 7 was free day. now here’s the thing: if you followed me on twitter while i was writing these (march-april of last year) you would know that i despise this fic. i had a hard time writing it and i don’t like how it came out. still, here is a short dragon eugeo au. maybe one day i’ll revisit it, but i’m making no promises.

Autistic Anime Boys Prelims - Propaganda Division - Group 2

Propaganda:

Kyouya -

"what's there to say? you know him. you love him. vote kyoya."

Rinnosuke -

"Rinnosuke Morichika lives in an overly-cluttered curio shop, and has a special interest in making magical inventions. Since he doesn’t live in a modern setting— but a pocket dimension slightly disconnected to the outside world— whenever a modern item shows up in his shop via spiriting away, he can obsess over it for extended periods of time. He is quite blunt without realizing it, even to people he cares for. He also has a special ability to generally understand the name and use of any item he touches (though this backfires sometimes, he thought a Gameboy was a doomsday device once)."

Fuuta -

"okay look theres so many fucking signs hes autistic. he cannot tell tone and often doesn't know how to react to stuff which is a major point in his character id say. he was asked if he remembered his victim's name (hes a murderer. oops!) and his response was something along the lines of "Of course I do. I saw it everywhere." because he did not understand that they wanted to know what it was since it wasnt directly stated. im convinced that hoodies are a comfort object of his because i genuinely have not seen him without one except for one time. also hes canonically a chronically online twitter user. also he gets really passionate about his interests. also not really related but everyone in the fandom agrees hes transgender but no one can agree on what way. ive seen every single gender hc for this dude. vote kajiyama fuuta for this sopping wet poor little meow meow of a man."

Hansum -

"He's just a very odd and strange lad, can't remember names well, is an alien (mild spoiler), he's very popular, obsessed with Doritos and becomes their mascot, just refers to everyone as humans which is a mood, and is completely socially oblivious."

Miyuki -

"Relatable neurodivergent-Gifted Child syndromeTM case with all the superiority-inferiority complex that results. A chronic show-off and scheming strategist with a lowkey hopeless romantic dramatic aspect to him, silly cool and pathetic in a very hilarious way. Shirogane has a trademark glare purely thanks to his eyebags as he runs on coffee everyday having to support his family with multiple jobs in addition to class, on top of student council president duties. He's kind and an obsessive perfectionist who fills his entire wall with the weirdest motivational posters. Shirogane is very devoted to his love. He likes penguins (Kaguya and him is peak asd4asd and bi4bi btw)."

Kirito -

"He's autistic and bisexual as hell, and there's a good bit of trans coding in him 🥺

Autism coding: Bro's literally got a sword and swordfighting hyperfixation where, despite playing a game that focuses around guns, he still chooses to use a sword!! We also see him completely missing Asuna's flirting at first (he tells her she could have just checked her friendlist to make sure he was alive, in response to her tracking him down to see him)

Bi coding: Dual wielding swords is literally a euphemism in Japan for bisexuality; and Kirito initially tries to hide the fact he can dual wield out of fear of how the people he's close to will view him (and once he reveals it to them and they accept it, he begins to be more open about it.) Also in the Underworld arc he becomes very close with Eugeo to the point of living with him (and sharing a bed on occasion), and there are several parallels between Eugeo and Asuna, and they're so gay for each other that despite the anime having only a toned down version of it, they're still very affectionate (Also of note is that Eugeo is the only guy in SAO canon to consistently have a 'laying in bed with Kirito' talk CG in the spinoff games) (There's more but it's spoilers and this is a shortened version)

Trans coding: Kirito is very trans coded in the light novel (which shows Kirito's thoughts in much greater detail than the anime) Aincrad arc reveals that Kirito explicitly Does Not Like his real face, and dislikes how feminine it looks (he mentions that its led to him and his cousin being mistaken for sisters) And in Phantom Bullet arc, he's visibly uncomfortable at being mistaken for a girl due to his avatar's appearance, and in response to being misgendered he briefly panics and checks to make sure his chest flat (at least in the anime adaptation) 🏳️‍⚧️"

Shirou -

"Has one goal in life and ignores almost everything in favor of trying to fulfil that goal."

Keith -

"Speaks in a way that is seen as weird and has mannerisms others think is funny. He struggles with not being taken seriously by others because of this and many of the things others say goes over his head. He struggles to connect with other people because of these things. His entire arc in the second film is about him deciding that the people who don't accept him for who he is aren't worth it and that he's going to continue being himself."

Junpei -

"for other fans of this series, I know the more obvious representation here may be Luou, Junpei is So Good. his special interest is ballet and he has so many hangups involving how his family sees him and how other boys his age interpret him to the point that his idea of masculinity is extremely narrow and he enforces social rules on himself to mask and keep people from realizing that he loves something that Isn't Manly. he misinterprets social cues and takes things literally, like assuming that when Miyako asked him to dance with her she meant Right This Minute rather than as a pair in the studio. for some reason the point where he cuts his hair super short to prove his devotion to ballet is also sticking with me, I think maybe it's the combination of the way it's normal for boys/men in Japan to do that, yet Junpei didn't realize that kind of attitude/action didn't suit ballet at all? he wasn't aware that the context was completely different. Junpei also doesn't act or pretend very well, he's gotta put his whole entire ass into his roles, which he then proceeds to get TOO into and cause a lot of trouble, without giving too much away! he's really relatable to me as someone who's socially anxious but very skilled at masking, and seeing him become more comfortable with himself and start to show how he really feels is so inspiring to me."

Kazuma -

"He may be (wildly) misguided but his intentions are good kinda! He’s just the Guy of all time idk how to explain it."

[bluerosesinthenightsky]

If Eugeo survived, and made it to the “Real World,” what would be the first VR game Kirito would play with him?

Bonus Question: In ALO, what race do you think Eugeo would pick to play as?

I definitely think that ALfheim Online would be the first VR game that Kirito would play with Eugeo, especially since the floating castle Aincrad is there. He would want to share with Eugeo the world that made Kazuto... well... Kirito.

Kirito would want to share the first step in his journey that led him to Eugeo. I feel like they'd have their first date on the floating castle of Aincrad too.

As for Eugeo's race in ALO, I've seen a lot of people depicting him as part of the Cait Sith race. It seems the fandom really thinks he'd be Cait Sith.

But I honestly think he would be an Undine, due in part because Eugeo has strong connection with the color blue, and also ice is frozen water. So being a water fairy that can turn his water into ice for combat just fits. Oh, and Eugeo is a decent healer, and Undines have healing capabilities. So, while I absolute adore the idea of Cait Sith Eugeo, it would make much more sense for him to be an Undine. Oh, and I can't forget to mention these set of scenes with Eugeo and Kirito on a boat together, on the water.

Eugeo seems to go hand in hand with water/ice, and by extension Kirito goes hand in hand with Eugeo and with water/ice. But yeh, I believe that Eugeo should be Undine.

The Home We Built

It was unusual to log back into Sword Art Origins after all this time. 

“I suppose it had only been a few days in the real world, but it was 2 years for me… this is gonna be tough…”. Kazuto hefted the AmuSphere over his head. He desperately missed his family and friends back here, but the feeling was off. The idea of being in a “home” without Ronye or Tiese or Alice or Liena… or Eugeo…

Alice had been able to receive a physical body, the rest were still waiting for them as suspended data. She was still at her home in the facility, visiting Kazuto and Sugu frequently, mainly for Kazuto, he was her anchor in this world after all. But Kazuto was still anxious to be alone again. He was used to the feeling of someone else beside him throughout everything.

He hadn’t slept alone in 2 years.

Regardless, Kikuoka had granted permission for the Artificial Fluctlights to join Kirito in other virtual worlds, and Kazuto had promised Eugeo to show him Aincrad. The place ‘Kirito’ was truly born. It was time to log in.

…

Kirito woke up in bed back on Floor 22, in him and Asuna’s bed. The rest of the party was most likely in Agil’s Bar or out questing on higher floors if they were playing. He needed to return to The Town of Beginnings to meet Eugeo. He trailed the quilt of the bed he laid in. A sigh met his lips. He wasn’t sure what exactly he had been feeling, but he knew guilt was the prevalent emotion. He had left behind his wife and daughters for 2 years. Tears met the corners of his eyes. 

“How many times did Eugeo hold me when I thought of them- Asuna, Yui, Strea…”

He slowly got out of bed and patted the space where Asuna usually slept. He walked out of the house and grabbed a crystal to return to Floor 1.

…

“C-cor? I- I’m sorry I don’t know much about this world- I’m supposed to be meeting a friend here…”

Eugeo had barely taken a step in town when he was being accosted by someone in a large cloak.

“Oh? Need some info on ya buddy? I got all the info ya need if ya got the Cor-”

A devilish smirk met the woman’s face as she stared up at Eugeo.

“I-I think I will be fine. It is typical for Kirito to be slightly behind schedule…”

He turned to walk away from the girl, but she snatched his arm back and pulled him into facing her.

“WAIT- You said you know Kii-boy?”

Eugeo looked flustered.

“Ki-Kiiboy? Is that what the people of this world call Kirito?”

“Nyah. Here Kirito is Kirito. To some, he’s tha Black Swordsman. To others tha Beata. To me he’s jus Kii-boy. We were eachothas first friends here.”

She flashed a toothy smile to Eugeo, almost startled by the girl’s grin, looking more like some monster than a girl.

“Buuuuuuut- I’m surprised ya know Kii-boy. He’s neva been around guys much. And I dont rememba ya from seein him in real life.”

“O-oh. Me and Kirito grew up together in Rulid Village. He lost his memories and said that he had lived here…”

“Interestin’- well, he aint lyin. Kii-boy lived here for 2 years, and then he was able to kill the bastad that trapped us all in this castle. Butttttt we come back since it’s hard to let go of those memories. I know I dont wanna forget ‘em after all.”

The girl looked down, clearly reminiscing. Eugeo could see a streak of blonde hair tickle her face as she smiled fondly.

“My name’s Argo, I’ll give ya that info for free, since ya took care of my Kii-boy. Butcha can just call me The Rat”

“Oh! My name is Eugeo.”

“Nice meetin ya! A friend of Kii-boy is a frienda mine.”

Argo’s toothy smile still startled Eugeo as she beamed up at him.

“YO! Argo, Eugeo!”

A blur of black came in and tackled the cloaked girl and blonde boy in a hug.

“Ey- Kii-boy- Nyeheh- You’re not so affectionate usually- what’s gotten into dat airhead of yours?”

“Haven’t seen you in years. Hug now.”

Both Eugeo and Argo laughed at the boy’s brief explanation, still holding them tight to him. It took several moments before he pulled away, blushing.

“S-sorry about that…”

“It’s okay Kii-boy- butcha gotta pay me to not tell A-chan about dat hug with me-”

Kirito sighed and shook his head.

“You never change Argo…”

Eugeo looked between the two with confusion.

“A-chan? Whose that? And does Kirito not usually hug people?...”

“Jeez blondie, wait til we meet the whole gang here before ya go askin too many questions. They’re all at Agil’s. I’ll be ya guide.”

…

Argo practically bounced into the bar, giggling like a maniac. The rest of the crew looked on at her with exasperated confusion. She pounced into a seat beside Asuna.

“A-Chan! Ya got some competition! Kii-boy’s got a new blonde cutie friend-”

“Argo- I know you like teasing Kirito- I’m used to it now.”

“Nononono! Not me this time! They’re new-”

The girls at the table winced at the thought. Oh god- another girl to compete with. Agil just smirked as Klein beamed.

“Sweet! Another cute chick for the party!”

“Oh you’ll love ‘em Klein. Just ya type.”

Argo cackled in place as Asuna shook her head.

The group sat with baited breath as Kirito walked in with his new friend.

Who shockingly to the group- was not a girl.

…

Kirito and Eugeo walked hand-in-hand into Agil’s Bar, Eugeo doing his best to not simply cling to Kirito as he guided him in. Everyone did their best to pick their jaws up from the floor as Kirito waved to the rest of the group with his free hand.

“Hey guys! Sorry it’s been a minute…”

“Ki-ri-TO! You were almost killed and you had us worried sick! And you’re worried about being LATE?”

Liz shook herself out of her shock and ran over to yell at the boy.

“Heh. Nice to see you again Liz-”

Kirito broke his grip on Eugeo’s hand and embraced Liz and pet her head. The group looked on in a shock as Kirito hugged everyone at the table, Asuna, then Sinon, Leafa, Silica, Philia, even Klein and Agil. 

“Awwww nothin for ya favorite Rat?”

Argo mock pouted at the boy.

“I hugged you when I logged in, don’t be greedy!”

The group was all blushing red, and Leafa shook her head wildly to try to rid her mind of all the thoughts that just came rushing in.

“I-I’m just not used to Kirito being that… Touchy…”

“Yeah seriously, Kirito seems to hate physical affection.”

Philia nodded along to Leafa’s assessment.

“R-Really? In my memory, Kirito has always been like this, even since we were kids…” Eugeo cocked his head to the side confused.

“Ah right! Everyone, this is my friend Eugeo. Eugeo, this is Asuna, Silica, Leafa, Sinon, Lisbeth, Klein, Agil, and Philia.”

Eugeo shyly waved.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you all-”

Kirito dragged Eugeo into a seat, sliding next to Asuna so that Kirito was flanked by her and Eugeo.

“Wait- what do you mean since you were kids?”

Sinon placed her drink down and sat her head in her hands.

“Me and Kirito grew up in Rulid Village together. One day he disappeared though, I only met him again two years ago now, but he seems to have lost his memory.”

“Wait. Two years ago Kirito would’ve still been trapped in Sword Art Online!-”

Liz pounded on the table, shaking everyone’s tea, threatening to break the cups.

“What? No, Kirito and I spent over two years travelling from Rulid to the capitol to train at the SwordCraft Academy.”

“I think we’re skipping over something here- Kirito wasn’t born in Rulid- I should know, as his sister and all-”

“I don’t remember Kirito having a sister- although I suppose after he left most of my memories of him faded away…”

Kirito cleared his throat.

“Hem- Sorry. Long story short, to make it simple for everyone. I was born in Rulid and knew Eugeo when we were very young. Some things happened, me and Leafa moved in together. Then I got trapped in Aincrad, and then after an accident found my way back to Eugeo.”

“I’m still unsure what you mean by spending two years with Eugeo-”

“Yeah, you were in the hospital for like a week, what happened?”

“Um. Basically, the machine I was in was a device designed to help rebuild my mental functions. In that time, I was in a place called Underworld where I met Eugeo again. That is about as much as I can tell you without issues from Kikuoka.”

“Alright since we’re not gonna get answers from you-”

Sinon looked towards Eugeo.

“What do you mean Kirito was ‘always like that’?”

“Oh! Kirito always hugged his friends in Underworld. Ronye, Tiese, Liena, he practically held onto me for dear life as he slept.”

Eugeo laughed, but Kirito’s eyes widened momentarily, before shooting daggers at the boy, not noticing Kirito’s mental attack.

“Wait, you slept together?”

Lisbeth dropped her teacup, with it shattering into glitter.

“Yes. During our trip from Rulid to the capital it was cheaper to rent rooms with one bed. And our room was small in the academy as we were not nobles.”

Out of the corner of his eye, Eugeo caught Kirito almost vibrating from shaking, now with a red flush to his face.

“Mmhmm- And who were these ‘Ronye, Tiese and Liena’ you mentioned?”

Asuna had a vicegrip on Kirito’s hand.

“Ah! Ronye and Tiese were Kirito and I’s pupils. We taught them how to sword fight. Kirito also was my teacher on the road prior to our time at the academy haha.”

Eugeo fondly recalled the memories and Kirito tried to maintain composure and add to the conversation.

“Yes, Ronye was my pupil and Tiese was Eugeo’s, although we mostly trained in a group of four. I’d say Eugeo was the better teacher though.”

“Kirito was quite soft as a teacher. I don’t believe he ever scolded any of us, and brought us all lunch.”

“Oh that’s quite sweet of you Kirito.”

Asuna released the grip on Kirito’s hand and gently pat it as an apology.

“And Liena?”

“Oh that was Kirito’s senpai- Kirito was her pupil, although they seemed to teach eachother a lot. Kirito already knew a lot of swordcraft, although different from what was traditional.”

“Yeah that sounds like Kirito. He fight’s as if every fight is his last, and he wants to put on a damn show.”

Sinon shook her head laughing.

“Hmm. I’m not sure. Practicing with Kirito- His swordmanship and battle is more elegant. Almost like a dance more than a brawl.”

“Interesting. I suppose he took more lessons from Asuna and Leafa.”

…

“Daddy! You’re back!”

A small girl clad in a white dress practically flung herself down the stairs of the Bar’s Inn and into Kirito’s arms. Kirito shot up out of his seat to catch her and spin her around in his arms.

“Yui!!!!! I missed you so much!”

Kirito embraced Yui into a tight hug, her feet dangling off the ground as he pulled her into his chest. Yui giggled. Another set of arms draped themselves around the pair.

“Hey Dad- Missed you too. Glad you’re doing okay.” “Strea! I missed you too!”

Kirito couldn’t hug the girl back, as he was pinned in her arms, but attempted to lean his head against hers.

“Um- Kirito who are these-”

Eugeo looked incredibly concerned at the display of affection.

“Oh! Right…”

Kirito bit his tongue, knowing this would be a rough conversation.

“These are Yui and Strea, they’re my daughters-”

“D-DAUGHTERS- But that- that means-”

“Adopted”

Strea added, saving Kirito the mental anguish. The cuddle pile broke apart.

“O-oh. I see. Is this why you were so sweet to Ronye and Tiese?” “Eh- Kinda? It helps to have some experience with that sort of relationship. Also I think I accidentally called Ronye Yui like a dozen times.”

“And I believe you once called Tiese Asuna.”

“You look at Asuna and tell me that they don’t look similar.”

“Hmmmm… You’re right- they could be sisters for sure.”

“Sooooooo- you Dad’s new boyfriend?”

Strea teased, flashing Kirito a smile of “Can’t save you every time”

“Yes” “NO!”

Eugeo and Kirito answered simultaneously.

“Kirito? Are we not friends?” “Nononononononono, Eugeo we are friends. Strea means boyfriend as in, like, romantic partner.”

“Oh-”

Eugeo flashed a bright red.

“Then also yes.”

Eugeo beamed out a pure smile, stunning everyone in the room.

I know people be like comparing Dot Hack and Sword Art Online together often (unfavourably tbqh)

But as a fan of both series, thinking about Ann Shoji (Tsukasa) and Mariko Misono (Subaru) just hanging out with Kazuto and his two soulmates (Asuna and Eugeo) on some public LGBT-space... fills me with joyyyy~
