Ok idk if you are asking for fic recs but i am taking the opportunity, I love Two-Player King's Game by corologs on ao3!! She has other great work, too, but a lot do fall into AU/grown-up. :0c (but yes we certainly need more...)

*fondly* ah, Three-Player King's Game is actually the first JSHK fic I read, back when I was getting into the manga months ago. it is in my bookmarks. :> It's lots of fun and totally gets the "vibe" right I think, with Tsukasa being a catalyst making things happen between Amane and Nene. I love him stoking Amane's desire... and activating the possessive braincell by starting to touch Nene a bit. Ah, so tasteful. I love... when Tsukas kisses Amane as he plows Nene, literally one of my fav arrangements... 👉👈 I read this before I even came to terms with how serious my feelings were for the twins together, so I never actually crystalized them kissing in my head... I thought I'd be more into HanaNene and was just playfully willing to involve Tsukasa in things. (... and look at me now...) That kiss really sizzled m'brain...

Subsequently, I've skimmed their other work, but as you said, there's many aged-up fic which sadly makes me snzzz... College AUs... put me to sleep... but even when it's not college stuff, there's AUs just set in worlds I do not care for. Like Royalty stuff... They're a fine writer but all that stood out to me besides Three-Player King's Game is One a Ripple, the Other a Wave. A simple gen fic, of the twins going out for a swim... but very sweet, filled my chest with warm fuzzies... I haven't looked through their entire catalogue though so there might be more I like. They have written a lot so... who knows! I'm slowly meandering about.

I generally don't ask for fic recs though cuz I'm quite persnicketty and I don't want anyone to feel self-conscious about themselves based on my response. I'm a picky eater... doesn't take much to put me off a fic. I often seek refuge in writing my own material as a result. >> But ofc it's nice when a fic does please me, it's genuinely inspiring for my own writing.
