Helloooo I finished the first part of your jjk fic!!
I FLIPPING LOVED IT FUCK I MUST READ THE OTHER PARTS DAYUM I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS
First of all, thank goodness Michi didn't die at the end of this first part (God bless Geto for this, man. I was tempted to stop reading if Michi died bruh😭)
I love a lot Michi, and for me, he's part of the jjk cast (at least in my heart idc😔🤟). He fits perfectly in its world. His backstory, the themes he brought to the plot, how much you can get from him when you compare him with either Gojo or Geto.
I just know you love your oc for the way you wrote him, links. You crafted his character with a lot of care, and there's nothing more beautiful to me, as a reader, than an author pouring all their love and passion to their characters and story (Wether it's fanfic or not this level of care on your writing speaks volumes about you as a writer! Keep writing. There are people who appreciate it a lot :D)
All the metaphors meticulously placed to subtly hint you what you wanted to portray for each character and also as a way for foreshadowing. I just love that level of care in media. It makes you want to reread it again and make sure you didn't let any detail slip on you first read.
From chap. 5 what I liked the most, aside from the convo between Gojo and Utahime, which showed Gojo's more sensitive side with that touch of sarcasm so you don't take him as seriously because hey, he's still Gojo The Strongest!
Geto and Michi had a very insightful convo. They are almost parallels, but they differ on one aspect you already explained to me in another ask I sent you:
Michi confronted Geto. Right in front of his face. The world had already warned Geto with Riko's death in the hands of a mere "monkey."
Someone sensitive, like Geto, would not survive in the world of Jujutsu. You can not save everyone when not even your life holds any value to the ones on top in charge of protecting you.
Toji showed him that. Work is work. It doesn't matter whether you have strength and honest reasons to save people. You could still die at the hands of the same ones you risk your life to protect, and the world would still spin.
That broke Geto and eventually caused his breakup with Gojo because Geto realised that he was weak. That he did care. He never forgot Riko like Gojo. He felt guilty for letting his feelings overwhelm him and ruin his relationship with Gojo. He started to understand that compassion and empathy were a weakness. Those feelings were the reason he got so careless. It was his fault that Riko died:
Geto is a very tragic character. He can't help but feel everything. Feel for everyone. If he notices, he'll make time to listen to you and ease your pain as much as possible even if that means sacrificing himself for you... and Michi noticed that because they were similar. Michi found Geto as precious as Geto found Riko as such:
This part of chap.5 made me wonder if Michi could have caught feelings for Geto (maybe one-sided). Since their first interactions, I always thought they could have had something if the circumstances were different and, well... if Gojo wasn't there intervening lol.
(Maybe it's just me that I want them to be together. I know well that Geto and Gojo were made for eachother :)
Michi, despite his jealousy towards Gojo, he cared for both in his own way. I feel like what Michi was trying to with this whole plan (what a plot wist btw I gasped when I read it) aside from getting rid of Gojo he tried to "spare" Geto from his deplorable mental state by making him accept the reality of their line of work (like a twisted act of love?👀) but chose not to just like Gojo chose to avoid getting any closer to Geto once he realised that he was weaker than him to protect him.
Geto is too precious to be corrupted by any of them, so Michi couldn't bring himself to "steal" Geto from Gojo and "enlighten" him with the harsh reality of being in the Jujutsu world.
If someone had to change, it was Geto himself by his own will and... so he did on chap.7 when he was once again reminded of how little their lives meant if they weren't as strong as Gojo.
After Gojo vs. Michi's fight, Michi is left defeated on the ground without his eyes. He asks for a last request: to be killed by Geto instead of Gojo.
I think it was a very smart decision to pick Geto instead of Gojo to do the job. Gojo would have killed Michi in less than seconds. Gojo didn't care about a weaklings' life who were just on his way.
Forgetting the dead ones is a necessity. A self-defense mechanism to keep them attached to their jobs more efficiently.
Sorcerers were meant to sacrifice their humanity to safe people, and once they die, they're ready to be forgotten and replaced by other sorcerers. It was a cycle.
Their lives are cheap, just like the lives of the prostitutes Michi was so defensive with.
Those women were doing their job, just like Gojo, Geto, and Michi, but they could die in the hands of anyone any day and then... the blame would fall on them for being "weak, because "they were looking for it when they got in the industry. " Lastly, they'd be forgotten and replaced with other prostitutes.
How different were those prostitutes from Gojo and the rest of the sorcerers? Risking their bodies for the sake of someone else's pleasure (the higher ups), accepting being dehumanised for a salary... They're not really that different, are they?
(I fear that was peak literature, links🫡)
Geto didn't kill Michi because he knew that Gojo could have killed both of them if he wanted... and he wouldn't have cared after doing so because he was programmed like that. He programmed himself like that to function in such a world.
At that moment, Gojo embodied the Jujutsu world's philosophy, and Geto knew that. Geto realised, once again, that he was weak compared to him. He was just one of those prostitutes, like Michi. Geto was, unlike Gojo, too weak to kill Michi.
Another detail that could be coincidence:
"Why does the story begin with the prostitute dying?"
That's funny (not really). At the beginning of jjk, the original story, first season, Geto, had already died by that time we just didn't know yet...
Thank you for this amazing first part of your fic links. I'll soon read the rest parts too. Idk if I'll be able to keep doing this asks all the time due to college, but I may send you an ask gushing about your writing from time to time! :p
Again ty for answering me and sorry again for bombarding you with this kind of yap sessions lmao
I hope you're doing well!💞
(Michi's official design just for you. He 's 29 in this not 18, he grew up from a Twink into a Mommy).
First of all, thank goodness Michi didn't die at the end of this first part (God bless Geto for this, man. I was tempted to stop reading if Michi died bruh😭) I love a lot Michi, and for me, he's part of the jjk cast (at least in my heart idc😔🤟). He fits perfectly in its world. His backstory, the themes he brought to the plot, how much you can get from him when you compare him with either Gojo or Geto.
Michi is baiscally immortal. In the sense that his entire story revolves around the fact that prostitutes are treated like they're completely expendable by both our society, and also most of fiction. Michi the son of a prostitute and another victim of sexual abuse stubbornly refuses to die, because in this version his little life in worth something.
I'm glad you liked him. Michi is basically someone I created to characterize Gojo, by one being a narrator observing Gojo from the outside, but two being an unreliable narrator to illustrate that there's really no understanding Gojo the best you get as a reader is Michi's interpretation of Gojo which is heavily biased and flawed because of Michi's own projections and jealousies towards him.
However, Michi just kind of became a character of his own and left the role of Narrator. That's why I don't describe what Michi looks like at all until his conversation with Geto where he sees his reflection, like oh yeah, he's a person with a face. He has an identity of his own he's not just a pair of eyes watching Gojo. Michi himself is just a tertiary character in Geto and Gojo's narrative because he's observing from the outside but he's still his own person with his own story to tell.
Geto and Michi had a very insightful convo. They are almost parallels, but they differ on one aspect you already explained to me in another ask I sent you: Michi confronted Geto. Right in front of his face. The world had already warned Geto with Riko's death in the hands of a mere "monkey." Someone sensitive, like Geto, would not survive in the world of Jujutsu. You can not save everyone when not even your life holds any value to the ones on top in charge of protecting you.
Michi is the midpoint between Geto and Gojo, deeply empathic like Geto and yet unable to relate to his fellow human beings like Gojo even if for completely opposite reasons. However, I do think Michi has given up on the idea that Gojo will ever understand him in spite of the fact that he still feels a lot towards Gojo.
However, Michi still desperately wants to be understood, which is why in spite of acting like a mastermind who wants to entrap both Gojo and Geto in his scheme he goes out of his way to try to explain himself to Geto and try to get Geto to see the world the way he does because Geto is the only person, perhaps in his entire life, that has given any kind of inkling that he might care.
Michi wants to be cared about, but he feels like when his mother died, there was no one else in the world obligated to care for him or take care of him. Geto is just someone who genuinely cares, Michi didn't think people like him still existed in this world.
That broke Geto and eventually caused his breakup with Gojo because Geto realised that he was weak. That he did care. He never forgot Riko like Gojo. He felt guilty for letting his feelings overwhelm him and ruin his relationship with Gojo. He started to understand that compassion and empathy were a weakness. Those feelings were the reason he got so careless. It was his fault that Riko died:
On the other hand I think the reason Michi immediately connected to Geto, is because Geto actually wears his human weakness on his sleeve. Geto's inability to show human weakness is what destroys his friendship with Gojo, especially since Gojo doesn't want to see that weakness in his best friend who is the only person he sees as an equal. On the other hand Michi is attracted to Geto because of his unwavering humanity.
Geto really is too sensitive to survive in this world, and Michi knows that, while Gojo is oblivious to that, but that knowledge just kind of makes Michi find Geto as someone precious. Geto is someone who's actually not all that mentally strong, he's vulernable and weak, and gets hurt because he cares too much and he can't actually just suck it all up and handle the strain of being a sorcerer but those things make him human in michi's eyes. He doesn't want Geto to suck it up and be stronger, he doesn't want Geto to become someone unfeeling and untouchable, to lose his sensitivty and empathy even if both things end up driving him mad. And after the fact, Michi decides to do the opposite of Gojo, and stay by his side and walk the same path as him.
I think simply because Michi wants to protect him. He doesn't want the world to kill this caring person the same way that it killed his mother, even though Geto has completely lost his way.
This part of chap.5 made me wonder if Michi could have caught feelings for Geto (maybe one-sided). Since their first interactions, I always thought they could have had something if the circumstances were different and, well... if Gojo wasn't there intervening lol.
Uh so word of god. Michi is in love with Geto. It's not what you'd consider traditional romantic love, because Michi doesn't really feel romantic love. If I had to compare it to anything it would be Itsuki fell for Sensui.
Loving Geto for being pure as the driven snow and continuing to love him after he fell into despair and became defiled.
I don't think Michi would ever sleep with Geto though even though he sleeps around with men a lot. Not because I'm like Oc X Canon is bad, but because he thinks Geto belongs to Gojo.
aside from getting rid of Gojo he tried to "spare" Geto from his deplorable mental state by making him accept the reality of their line of work (like a twisted act of love?👀) but chose not to just like Gojo chose to avoid getting any closer to Geto once he realised that he was weaker than him to protect him.
Michi's plans definitely shifted halfway through when he connected to Geto so quickly. I think it's like you said, Michi believed he had to show Geto the cruelty of the world. It's that logic that parents sometimes say, "I have to be cruel to you to teach you, because the world won't be easy on you." Also, like Itsuki above I think Michi detected those dark impulses in Geto brewing just under the surface, and wanted to drag them up. Because one, he saw a common spirit in Geto, and two I think he knew Geto was repressing himself so hard he was basically killing himself to function as a cog in society.
I think Michi just wanted Geto to leave cursed society though, he never could have predicted Geto would go on to be a mass murderer, and never would have wanted that to happen. Even if he still stuck by his side after the fact.
After Gojo vs. Michi's fight, Michi is left defeated on the ground without his eyes. He asks for a last request: to be killed by Geto instead of Gojo. I think it was a very smart decision to pick Geto instead of Gojo to do the job. Gojo would have killed Michi in less than seconds. Gojo didn't care about a weaklings' life who were just on his way.
Michi's decision to ask Geto to do it instead of Gojo is simultaneously a calculation (he knew Gojo was going to kill him without hesitation but he was counting on the fact Geto would hesitate) and also a small act of mercy. Even though Gojo would kill him and forget about him soon afterwards, he doesn't think Gojo should be forced to kill his own family member because of how inhuman that act is.
Gojo shouldn't have to get his hands dirty and give away just another piece of his humanity for Jujutsu Society yet again, is Michi's logic.
Those women were doing their job, just like Gojo, Geto, and Michi, but they could die in the hands of anyone any day and then... the blame would fall on them for being "weak, because "they were looking for it when they got in the industry. " Lastly, they'd be forgotten and replaced with other prostitutes. How different were those prostitutes from Gojo and the rest of the sorcerers? Risking their bodies for the sake of someone else's pleasure (the higher ups), accepting being dehumanised for a salary... They're not really that different, are they?
I'm glad you got the metaphor that basically the whole fic was built around. If you like this, it's an idea I explore further with Mei Mei's character in my most recent fic. Basically, Mei Mei like Michi has the same point of view. That Sorcerers are basically prostitutes who sell their body and enter a dangerous line of work where their lives mean nothing for money.
That every sorcerer is an expendable target, and when they die it's their own fault. That the system makes them put themselves in danger, and then blames them for becoming Jujutsu Sorcerers in the first place because they should have known the risk, nevermind how rigged society is against them. How the elders and people in charge do absolutely nothing to protect them.
Anyway, I'm glad you liked the fics and I try just as hard to explore similiar themes in my later fics. I basically like to build each fic around a central idea, like "Don't you hate how prostitutes always die in the beginning of mystery novels?" So I hope since you're such a good reader you'll enjoy the themes of my later fics.

Hello folks, so I was recently watching a dnd campaign in the sunless citadel and I had grown so found of one particular kobold from it, Meepo, the dragon caretaker of some sorts, I was so invested on his small story that when he died, killed by Calcryx, I almost feel into a kobold depressive state, like bruh, I wanted for them to get along 😭
So by the powers granted by myself, I shall now present a small story I have as my canon event. At some point, in the sunless citadel, a clan of kobolds (~34 members) carrying a white dragon egg migrated from the north to this abandoned cultist temple, settling around and preparing for the arrival of their master. As they explored the temple and lost a few members to traps, their leader, Yusdrayl decreed there would be no more expeditions and the places known as ‘the frontier’ were established. Not much later, goblins would invade the temple in far greater numbers and threat the kobolds’ existence.
A war had begun and Yusdrayl decreed a desperate breeding program to increase their numbers. From many attempts and eggs, only a few had survived, among them, the one who would become Meepo. He had hatched on the same day Calcryx hatched and was designed to be her caretaker when time would call.
Years would pass, both Calcryx and Meepo had grow up, quite differently. The temporary caretakers of Calcryx did an awful job and the already naturally aggressive white dragon would frequently harm her caretakers.
Meepo also resulted to be a considerably weaker kobold than the rest of his tribe and not fit for much else. Yusdrayl considered to give him the task immediately than sacrifice any body-fit kobold to Calcryx. The young kobold was casted out of the hatchery into the most dangerous job it could be offered.
His first days were tragic, gaining many scars and nearly being killed by Calcryx at least a couple of times, before more kobolds would come to help. Meepo however, showed to be a fast learner and quickly established what worked and what didn’t with Calcryx, within a month, the white dragon was rather appeased.
Calcryx enjoyed Meepo, as a plaything, of course, his rather submissive behavior made her trigger happy. However, the key that made the difference was that Meepo respected her, not only as an equal, but as a superior, the minimum required to please a dragon. His valiant progress would come to a crashing halt the day goblins attacked the kobolds and in large numbers, managed to capture Calcryx. The entire kobold clan entered in a shock, their master was taken from them, and all blame was casted to Meepo, the shame of the clan. Yusdrayl declared that he should alone take Calcryx back or die trying, and rather preferring him dead, she mobilized the entire clan for a holy war to retake Calcryx if needed. Meepo cried into a nearly depressive state for days, but as he grieved over the loss of his ‘friend’, he begun to plan how he could possible infiltrate the goblin’s stronghold. They were not so different from kobolds, and also had darkvision, still meaning that he would have a better chance at night, when they would be asleep as kobolds would be too. When the night came, he departed with the blessing of Yusdrayl, more like a last goodbye, not expecting him to come back. He crossed the frontier and moved sneakily through the temple at night, avoiding a few patrols and traps, as well as killing a few rats. He would come close by a goblin stronghold, its guards deeply asleep, but with one of them, presumably the leader, keys that would open the doors he needed. He sneaked inside and ever so carefully took the keys. He crossed a hall into a door, which he tried all keys until one eventually worked, opening the door. Inside he saw a caged gnome, as well as several kobolds chained in the floor, he promised them he would return. ‘Meepo will come back for brothers and sisters. Meepo promises.’ He closed the door carefully and continued his journey. He eventually came into a large hall, filled with doors on both sides. After letting a guard patrol pass, he tried the first door in the right, using the keys, he managed to open it and to his surprise, there was Calcryx. The wyrmling hissed, as she was out of her chains, broken by her mighty teeth and claws. She looked at Meepo and recognized her caretaker, almost friend. She moved from her hiding spot on the room to his direction near the door. ‘You came.’ ‘Meepo came to save you, alone, Meepo will save you’ ‘Before we return, I have some… Unfinished business with those pests.’ ‘Meepo understands. He will not oppose your wishes.’
Calcryx walked out of the room and moved west, where she broke the door and proceeded to blast every goblin she saw with her ice breath. Meepo could only hear screams of horror falling silent, possibly from freezing into ice blocks, as well as screams of women and children fading into the dead silence of the temple. Soon Calcryx was returning from the door and moved past him to the corridors. He simply followed. ‘W-Wait. Meepo needs to fulfill promise to return to chained kobolds!’
He run past her and arrived at a door, opening it and unlocking the chains of the kobolds, as she watched over him. The kobolds had run to the door only to find Calcryx waiting there, a mix of fear and deep reverence made them bow to her.
Meepo saved them all, even the gnome who walked with them until reaching an entrance. With Calcryx returned, Meepo’s reputation was saved, captured kobolds returned and, even better, Calcryx’s attacks severely undermine the goblin numerical advantage over the kobolds, giving them time to breath. All of it accomplished in a single night demanded festivities. The kobolds partied for the rest of the night, with happy songs and praises for Tiamat’s spirit still lives with them, as well as increased rations of rat’s meat for everyone there. For Meepo however, things changed little, past his hero status, he returned to his status quo as the weakling of the tribe and begun being mistreated again as usual. Calcryx this time watched it closely, while long previously ignoring the events, she begun to feel a small sympathy for the weak creature, as well as overall anger to be kept within this temple.
One day, completely without warning, Calcryx caught Meepo on the rope of her leash and run off the tribe, with every kobold being unable to stop her.
'Calcryx! Friend! Meepo doesn't understand!" He yelled while literally on the air. 'We are. Leaving!" She snarled as she run off into the forest.
