Title: And the Words Fell from His Lips Like Diamonds

Fandom: Detective Conan | Magic Kaito

Pairing: Kaishin

Word count: 1400

Rating: G

A/N: I'm vibrating, I'm so excited for what this story means. Think of it as a teaser for something that @bakathief and I have been working on for literal years. I hope everyone enjoys this first look into a world that is near and dear to both of us - more coming soonish!

Summary:

"...and so the king of Ekoda listened to the promises that the strange woman made," the storyteller was saying, his voice smooth and lilting. Perfect for tale-telling. "Finally, the king thought, immortal life would be in his grasp, if only he could kill the god Pandora and steal her magic for himself." --- A travelling storyteller puts a unique spin on a very old story. A prequel, of sorts.

Fanart of Shadow Chase for the amazing and talented @bakathief. 💕🍀

Your comic and general attitude regarding art (just do it!) inspired me to get back into drawing again. I wanted to thank you for that. :)

Merry Christmas, Sui @bakathief!!!!!  ♪ (┏〇▽ ` )ﾉ｡.:*❉:･°ஐ Here’s your @dcmksecretsanta​ gift!! 🎁🎄💙

It’s kaishin going winter camping......but wait, it’s a fake relationship! (I’m not forgetting your prompt!) They’re going camping together to convince everyone that they’re dating. At first, they’re not actually dating, but then, amidst the beautiful snowy landscape, they end up having so much fun just being with each other. The rest, as they say, is history.

Mini-gift for @bakathief (┏〇▽ ` )ﾉ Featuring Kaito contemplating which route to choose! Kaishin or Kaiao? Decisions... Decisions...

Chapters: 1/7 

Fandom: Detective Conan                Rating: T

Relationships: Kudou Shinichi/Kuroba Kaito

Summary: Celebrities don’t interest Kudo Shinichi. He comes from a family of celebrities; in fact, he is a minor celebrity himself. But the one living next door seems to get into one too many shenanigans for his peace of mind. Which really wouldn’t be an issue, if the latest one didn’t happen to involve a dead body.

Or, in which Kaito goes from being darling of the entertainment media to scourge of the internet in no time at all, hounded by paparazzi, only to find solace in the utter indifference of his neighbour… until he gets involved in a murder.

Finally, here is chapter 1 of my fic for this year’s @kaishinbigbang 2024!!

The art from which this fic was inspired by was made by the wonderful artist @bakathief!! Please check it out HERE! Go show it some love!!

(Excerpt under the cut)

...

Kaito tried to protest—

“Hold on, you’ve got this wrong! I didn’t even know he was dead until you told me just now! Hey, hey—stop, it’s not me!”

—but they didn’t deter them at all. Kaito breathed in desperately, panic creeping into his voice as he looked around for help. Murder? Arrested? He didn’t need to know what the percentage of acquittals were in their country to guess the outcome! And for the police to make an arrest, for there to be evidence backing this up—

“Matsuoka-keibu? What’s going on?”

Kaito’s head snapped up at that voice. Turning the curb from where the patrol car was parked, like a beacon of light piercing through stormy clouds, was none other than Kudo Shinichi.

Been goin' a lil commission-happy lately! Because sometimes I just wanna pay OTHER people to draw Nakamori

From top to bottom we've got: @bakathief - This is on a small shikishi and it's hanging up on my wall, I wish I took a picture in better lighting because it does NOT do it justice. Bakathief does wizardry I swear

@whalefill - Just got this one today! Highly recommend, they were very fast and their commissions are going to a good cause. I knew just looking at their samples that they'd be great for drawing older characters and I love this style

Nauticalfoxcreations - Part of an art trade! He's just SO CUTE LOOK AT HIM AND HIS DOVE!!

@dee--eer - More NakaMouri! I I really love the subtle texture and the shading on the beer. Feels v unified with the colors, it's just so nice to look at :(

Myosotis by War_of_the_Words (Detective Conan & Magic Kaito | Kudou Shinichi/Edogawa Conan x Kuroba Kaito/Kaitou KID | Gen)

KID is a mysterious artist known for his mystifying paintings and their refusal to make a public appearance. Who are they? What is their purpose? People want answers, but before they can get any, KID produces one final piece of art before vanishing completely. Private Investigator Kudou Shinichi doesn't care about art, and has only heard a little about the case of the Phantom Artist KID from his friends. He is forced to take interest, however, when he comes to find out that KID's final painting bares a striking resemblance to himself. Now what would an artist like KID have to do with a detective?

How we begin by OrphanText (Magic Kaito | Hakuba Saguru x Kuroba Kaito/Kaitou KID | Teen+)

Hakuba calls in his favour from KID. It's not what KID thinks it is.

Pining by CynicalMistrust (Fukigen na Mononokean | Ashiya Hanae x Abeno Haruitsuki | Mature: violence & blood)

"Blink, dumbass." Hanae almost blinked, but he stopped himself, unable to pass up the chance to antagonize Abeno. Instead, he blinked twice and was rewarded with a sour look. Luckily for him, he was pretty sure Abeno wouldn't hit an injured and paralyzed patient in a hospital bed. Unfortunately, Abeno wasn't above picking up a pillow and smacking Hanae in the face with it, but it was a small price to pay.

Only A Boy by RiddellLee (Harry Potter & BBC Merlin (TV) | Teen+)

Merlin had fulfilled his destiny. Albion was alive and beautiful, and magic was no longer feared in the land. But nothing ever lasts, does it? Memories gone, and in his ten-year-old form once more, he's traveled over a thousand years in the future. Now, he has a new destiny: He has to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, hide the fact that he's Merlin, and defeat a Dark Lord that's messing with magic he knows nothing about.

hello my old heart by taizi (Natsume Yuujinchou | Gen)

Takashi thinks of the half-empty book upstairs, guarded by a ward strong enough to make the chuukyuu’s eyes water from the backyard. The secret that only half the people in the room are aware of. The wall between himself and everyone else that he built stone by stone by stone, to keep them— and himself— safe from inevitable hurt. “You don’t even know me,” Takashi blurts. Nishimura sits up. Kitamoto makes a grumbly noise and starts extracting himself from blankets. Shibata says “No no I finally got comfortable, Tanuma, come on,” but Tanuma is moving, too. Ogata says, in a kind, careful voice, “Natsume, of course we know you.” “Not everything,” Takashi insists, feeling his heart start to move a little faster. “You don’t— you don’t know everything.”

Playlist meme

Thanks for the tag, @solomonara!

Rules: You can usually tell a lot about a person by the type of music they listen to. Put your playlist on shuffle and list the first 10 songs, and then tag some ppl if you like!

My playlist is currently recovering from the festive season so... this should be interesting lol The only thing I can reliably predict is Taylor Swift. I would be shocked if, even with only 10 songs out of *checks* 271, I didn't get at least one Swizzle. The saturation is high.

Nobody by Selena Gomez

Jacob & Sons (Color of the Coat) by the original Canadian cast of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat

High Infidelity by Taylor Swift (ah HA! See, that didn't take long lol)

champagne problems by Taylor Swift (oh... are we just done with variety now? Am I about to be Very Exposed? lol)

You All Over Me by Taylor Swift (ok... it started as a joke but it's not funny anymore... oops lol)

Start of Something New from High School Musical

Your Move from YU-GI-OH! Music to Duel By (no, I'm not kidding. this is real.)

The Great War by Taylor Swift

Focus by Ariana Grande

Bang Bang Bang by Selena Gomez & The Scene

Keep in mind that this isn't just, like, every song I own. I chose these songs as ones I wanted to listen to at high frequency relatively recently. Yes. Even the yugioh song LOL

Would anyone like to play? @kiwilisland @katsukifatale @kaeviche @airu27 @sixclawsdragon @bakathief @kingdomoftyto @hiromiikunn @angelicsentinel

(Just had an unexpected emotional moment like... wait since when do I have people to tag... since when do I have FRIENDS??)

[dragonsorceress22]

these tags get me with this piece (via @cleflink)

I had to honor to take part in the DCMK Gen Big Bang! I created some art for @hilplusterrorss fic "rest by the fire, drink with me" which you can find here! Thank you for having me for this event! <3

Title: Where the Sky Touches the Sea

Fandom: Detective Conan | Magic Kaito

Pairing: Shinichi/Kaito

Word count: 22,665

Rating: PG

A/N: This was written for @dcmkkaishinevents' 2023 One Word Prompt Challenge. This year’s word was ‘soulmates’! Thanks to mac for running this challenge - you are a gift to this fandom!

Art is by my favourite partner in crime, the utterly incomparable @bakathief​! Make sure to stop by her page to give her some well-deserved love. :)

Summary: Personally, Kaito would rather not get into his tragic backstory with his favourite detective, but involuntary physical transformations had an unfortunate way of forcing one's hand.

---

Kaito's earliest memories were of the Empty.

His parents always used to laugh when he called it that.

"It wasn't empty," his dad had promised him once. "Your fear just made it seem that way. The mind can fool you into believing the illusions you perceive are actually reality." With a quick flick of his wrist, the full fan of cards in his hands had vanished, revealing the secretive smile he was wearing. "That's what magicians count on."

"Really, Kai-chan!" his mother had chided, during a face-off when Kaito had flat out refused to enter the kitchen because she'd made baked trout for dinner. "It's just your memory playing tricks on you!"

They were right, of course. Kaito's fears were just the leftover trauma from a harrowing childhood experience. He'd done his research; he knew the Empty was anything but.

That didn't stop him from waking up in a cold sweat nearly as often as not, the phantom echo of vast nothingness pressing in on all sides and driving him from his bed to cower in the bathtub. Nor did it keep his heart from trying to beat right out of his chest whenever he was confronted by... things that reminded him of that time in his life.

The Empty was not empty. But it was still cold. Dark. Endless. Terrifying.

And far away, Kaito always reminded himself sternly.

Kaito tried to protest—

(Excerpt from the Preface)

...

“Hold on, you’ve got this wrong! I didn’t even know he was dead until you told me just now! Stop, it’s not me!”

—but they didn’t halt at all. Kaito breathed in desperately, panic creeping into his voice as he looked around for help. Murder? Arrested? He didn’t need to know what the percentage of acquittals were in their country to guess at the outcome! And for the police to make an arrest, for there to be evidence backing this up—

“Inspector Matsuoka? What’s going on?”

Kaito’s head snapped up at that voice. Turning the curb from where the patrol car was parked, like a beacon of light piercing through stormy clouds, was none other than Kudo Shinichi.
