squinting at every title to see which one could possibly be chousou x yuuji, but LORD, they all pique my curiosity. calling in number 45 because it reminds me of little lamb to the slaughter and i love that fic so much. (but is 61 chouita by any chance.)
Nope, that's #9! But good news—a couple of others asked after #9 already. Bravely follow this link: https://voxofthevoid.tumblr.com/tagged/fic%3A-prophetic-self-destruction
(In other news, your pfp continues to trip me up; I'll get used to it!)
45
Title: the blood of the lamb is worth two lions (from "Uma Thurman" by Fallout Boy)
Ship: Gojou/Yuuji, Gojou/Gojou, Gojou/Gojou/Yuuji
CWs: Underage, selfcest
Premise: Ambiguous canonverse future AU where everyone's alive and nothing hurts. Yuuji's in his second year, maybe third, and dating his teacher, as one does. Freshly enlightened teen!Gojou pops into existence, sees who "he" is dating, decides to monopolize Yuuji to mess with his older self, and trips into genuine affection like a fool. He continues the Yuuji monopoly, until adult!Gojou snaps and goes, If you're that desperate for dick, I'll give you some. Yuuji walks in on teen!Gojou impaled on adult!Gojou's dick and enthusiastically joins in. Teen!Gojou is both turned on and betrayed, right until double penetration kills his higher brain functions.
Inspiration: ...I was horny. I mean. Yeah.
61
Title: mutilation out of sight (from "Last Resort" by Papa Roach, but the one I prefer is the cover by Falling in Reverse)
Ship: Gojou/Yuuji
CWs: Underage
Premise: Time loop aftermath, where the one who loops is Yuuji but the narrative is from Gojou's PoV. What happens is that Yuuji gets sucked into a Groundhog Day-style loop where the exit condition (unbeknown to Yuuji, initially) is saving his loved ones and preventing Gojou's sealing. What we see from Gojou's perspective is this: Your dead best friend's puppeted body pops up, you get caught in a little meat prison, and suddenly, said puppet is in pieces and Something That Looks Like Your Favorite Student is hugging your captive, CE-less body. Gojou can undergo the mortifying ordeal of being held by his extremely unhinged student being the most helpless he's been in his adult life.
Inspiration: I'm a whore for time loops, and while you cannot pay me enough to write a time loop set in Shibuya, the aftermath would be delicious, especially if it's Yuuji who loops. He's not as strong at the start as he would be by the end, and his opponents are special-grade curses (externally) and Sukuna (internally). It'd be hell. The number of loops should be in the high hundreds. Yuuji would have aged years living through them (in mind and soul), and his sanity would be...questionable. He'd have long since stopped viewing reality as permanent.
Thanks for asking 😘

hi. <3 i'll never get enough of how you gush about sukuna being cultured and a lover of the arts, you consistently put out headcanons that also inspire me to write my own interpretations and i appreciate you so much for it.
but my main question is, what kind of art do you think modern man sukuna would like? in an alternate universe where he was born in the current era. so many fics about him being a chef, a tattoo artist, a history professor — but i'm eager to know what you think.
*cracks my fingers* I've stared at this ask for hours. Lets do this.
Basically, I can see him doing a little bit of everything. He's studied the proper way to produce haiku in canon, references thousands-years-old poetry, and shows himself to be something of a connoisseur of the arts by speaking in a flowery, ornate sort of language, using words like "uo" (Most notably: he references a Chinese poem in canon by the name of "Odes to Bei-jin gu (No. 4)" during the binding vow with Yuuji, uses "shiremono" instead of the modern "baka"when insulting Mahito, calls himself "datenshi" which in modern times means to strike instead of using it like he does for "fallen angel", etc. He uses outdated, ancient dialect borrowed from literature, essentially.) He's well read, refined, I dare venture to say he might have gone further and consumed Heian Era arts himself as a human being before becoming a curse, and he carried over the love of art as a result. (It scares anyone expecting an unrefined, unintelligent monster.) I even posed this to my groupchat to see what my writing partner thought, and they and I have never entertained the idea of him being a history professor, but with some thought, we could both see it. Listen. this is one of the things i want to express about him so much and in every world/au/verse: he's a man of culture. He's a man of the arts. Some arts more than others, of course, particularly the culinary arts as opposed to song writing or directing, but that's not to say that he doesn't have a vague interest in other things. Especially in a modern day sense; he is someone who consumed information on anything that he likes like a man starving. He'll know vague trivia, fun facts, and all sorts of things. Phones and Google tend to be great companions to him when he's engrossed in learning about something. But this is also where I feel like he is more akin to Megumi's interests since he also finds better company among books than in the company of other people. Or Gojo, who also consumes information at a rapid pace. In my writing, he tends to fall into being a tattoo artist (mainly because of the precision required to be good with needlework, and he's someone who can design free-handed as opposed to having a ready-made design to reference for every client. Not to mention that he gets to work in a little bit of everything as a result of different personalities coming in, and he's forced to scheme out and draw all kinds of things for the client's approval. Cats, calligraphy, in memoriam, cityscapes, watercolors (a favorite because it required prior knowledge of lighting and color theory), white ink, he's a wide-range artist that gets a good idea of the client's personality before he basically kicks them out to spend some time designing/sketching. It's also a talent forever being molded, and he can do it anywhere. That's not to say thats all he's up to though. Sukuna's got some talent in the kitchen for sure. He basically learned from consuming all kinds of information from books to video tutorials and watching others cook while he was younger and before he had a good idea of what he was doing. Megumi and Yuuji are his subjects for taste testing. It's the only time Yuu is allowed in the kitchen, frankly. Try to tell him how to work in his own damn kitchen though and he'll point a knife and tell you to get out. His kitchen, his rules. Don't like it? Eat shit then. I can see him liking a lot of arts. Painting, writing, haiku-making, music, composing, it can go on and on. Mostly because he can appreciate the time and effort behind those talents. Arts are the height of human capability.

if the WIP is a continuation from the chikan snippet...
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 (PRETEND THIS IS A ROSE GARDEN) 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I counted—thirty roses, including the lone one! But you shall get your chikan garden 💜
Since you specified the story, I used a random number generator to decide page number. Page 14/28 of (and he had said) darling, your looks can kill, so now you’re dead, the Double-Dong Dickfest (listen, I don't come up with these ridiculous nicknames to not use 'em).
CWs: public sex and dubcon bordering on noncon because, y'know, it's chikan
“Stop it!” Satoru snaps, glaring over his shoulder—
—and running right into four endarkened eyes, the roiling hunger in them freezing the air in his lungs.
Yuuji kisses him.
It’s so painfully sweet, worse than even the fleeting touch on his temple earlier, and Satoru freezes all over—inside and out. Yuuji coaxes him open, there and here, softly sucking Satoru’s lower lip into his mouth the same time his finger rubs wetly over his hole, and Satoru means to gasp something harsh and angry, but Yuuji’s tongue slips into his mouth before any words can slip out. He’s still so gentle, the hand not tugging Satoru open cupping his face for a better angle, and then Yuuji’s mouth is slotting properly over his own, hot and open and wet, and it goes from sweet to dirty in a slick slide of tongue.
Yuuji tastes like nothing, just warm flesh, but it still burrows into Satoru—the scent and the heat.
His finger slides in all the way to the knuckle. Satoru burns around it.
He turns away from the kiss, and Yuuji allows it, the hand on Satoru’s face light and undemanding, but Satoru’s still left reeling with a strange sense of loss, his mouth feeling too empty without Yuuji’s tongue heavy inside of it. He swallows thickly, over and over.
Calm eyes watch him. Yuuji’s still everywhere except for his finger, which is pumping idly in and out of Satoru, a motion that’s all in the knuckle.
It’s weird, the muscles there forced into an unfamiliar stretch around an unfamiliar length. Yuuji’s finger there feels bigger and thicker it looks.
“Don’t,” Satoru tells him. It’s not a plea, but it doesn’t come out as demanding as he intended either; the sounds trip from his tongue in a tight, trembling rush. “Not that, Yuuji, not—”
The pad of a thumb quiets him, Yuuji stroking the length of his lips before slipping the digit into his mouth, and Satoru doesn’t know why he opens up for it, why he’s just as easy below when a second finger nudges up against his hole, but he does, and Yuuji takes it, claiming Satoru on both ends with greedy fingers.
The second finger inside him feels so much bigger. Satoru’s tried it, once or twice. He was curious. It felt weird then, and it’s worse now because this is twice the number of fingers Satoru’s ever stuck up there, and they’re big and thick and nowhere near as careful as Satoru was. Yuuji pries him open like it’s his right, and Satoru’s body yields and yields and yields because it’s only flesh.
Here's the ask game.

am i too late with the ask game. 👀 if not, yuuji x toji, and my faves, sukuna x megumi. 🫶
I HOPE YOU'RE FEELING BETTER NOW BTW
SHIT WAIT HAS ANYONE ASKED ABOUT KENITA YET FUCKCKCKCKCK. coach pls redact toji x yuuji, i would like to hear about your thoughts on him with his mother dearest. / __ \
Never late! I did pass out after my last ask yesterday. Joys of attempting to shift my sleep cycle. Again.
I'm better, yes! Half scared to say that because I feel like the universe has got an ear out to "fix" it.
And Hira, honey, I'm answering Yuuji/Kenjaku and Yuuji/Toji instead because I really don't think you want to hear my take on Sukuna/Megumi; you know how I get about Sukuna.
Yuuji/Toji
Ship It
What made you ship it?
This isn't even a case of "I ship Yuuji with anyone he has chemistry with," it's pure and simple crack shipping born out of one(1) conversation with @nearalways. We were brainstorming a canonverse AU where Toji raises Megumi, who becomes friends with Yuuji pre-canon, and the idea of Yuuji probably enjoying a sparring partner with superhuman strength...escalated predictably. I think I'm the one who added the sex because that's usually the case, but I'm blaming Tender for everything anyway.
What are your favorite things about the ship?
They can fight like demons and fuck nasty, I guess. I repeat, it's a crack ship. Half the shit I like are specific scenarios Tender and I threw together for that one AU, like Toji promptly falling asleep after he gets his (see below) and Yuuji shrugging and continuing to fuck him
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
Toji's a pillow princess.
Yuuji/Kenjaku
Ship It
What made you ship it?
Let's just say that kenita is what made me realize that if I find any relationship dynamic interesting, I'll ship it. I thought I wasn't into parent-child incest, and then the Kaorijaku reveal happened, and I realized I typically just don't find parent-child relationships compelling. These two? Compelling as fuck.
What are your favorite things about the ship?
Kenjaku should traumatize Yuuji, and Yuuji should get to commit matricide. What else does one need? More seriously, I'm really fascinated by how Kenjaku goes from absent mum extraordinaire to having one(1) cryptic conversation with Yuuji while physically and emotionally harming him without an ounce of malice, followed by them running hot and cold about Yuuji in conversations with others. There's barely any fuck to give from Yuuji's end, which kind of makes it more fun for me.
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
I think this entire ship is an unpopular opinion.

3. Describe the creative process of writingna chapter/fic.
7. How do you choose which POV to write from?
13. What's a common writing tip that you almost always follow?
65. Tell us about what you're most looking forward to writing - in your current project of a future project.
72. What order do you write in? From of book to back? Chronological? Favorite scenes first? Something else?
i would request for more but five alr seems too much. : ' D
Haha ask away 💜 It's fun answering these, and I'd do it more if free time wasn't so scant.
3. Describe the creative process of writing a chapter/fic
First, the madness takes me.
No, really, that's what it feels like. The number of times I lie down to nap and wake up with pages of an outline...
There tends to be a stretch of time between getting an idea and writing it, usually because I'd be working on something else at the time and I don't WIP hop anymore, so I fill out the outline with scenes, dialogue, bits of research, plot details, etc. I didn't use to do this, but goyuu has turned me into more of a planner than a pantser. By the time I start writing, I have a decent framework. The major plot points typically remain the same, but the details will vary, and a lot will need to be fleshed out.
13. What's a common writing tip that you almost always follow?
The basics, mostly. Like starting a new paragraph each time a new character starts speaking. Basic dialogue punctuation rules. Either avoiding epithets or saving them for narrative-specific reasons (in-verse ones, like someone not knowing a character's name, or meta ones, like when I want to emphasize a specific aspect of the characters' relationship).
65. Tell us about what you're most looking forward to writing - in your current project or a future project.
So many of them 😭
I tend to get rather deranged in a fun (for me) way about darkfic in particular, so most of the ideas I'm hyped to get to are pretty fucked up. Without going into details, they're labeled things like "domain rape," "alpha/alpha dark AU," "the rapebaiting fic," etc.
72. What order do you write in? Front of book to back? Chronological? Favorite scenes first? Something else?
The narrative order! Except in a few cases, most of which were accidental, I write exactly as you'd read the final story.
7 here!

i shall ask once more. \o/ 12, 26, 39 (is there another snippet in stock, void-sama?) and 55! <3
Welcome back 💚
List of questions here
(I should start keeping a list of things people call me on Tumblr...)
12. How does receiving or not receiving feedback/support impact you?
Like I said in response to another of these questions, I am not immune to having expectations...which have admittedly been skewed by hanging around in MCU/stucky (guys, you spoiled me).
Receiving feedback makes me happy, often derangedly happy. There's that simple pleasure in sharing something I made—something I put a lot of time, effort, and joy into—and seeing it have an effect on other people. There's a reason I reread my comments (and Tumblr tags, when applicable) a zillion times.
Not receiving it is predictably disappointing, though the intensity varies a lot with my level of investment in the fandom/ship and, more importantly, the particular story. You know those jokes about how the fics we work most on and are most proud of tend to be less well received than something we throw together in a hurry? Yeah, that's always an...interesting experience.
What feedback doesn't affect is whether I write or what I write. This wasn't the case until last year or so, but now, nearly everything I post is already fully written and being posted on a monthly schedule. It spares me from being discouraged in the middle of writing a fic. Similarly, darkfic tends to not be as popular as fluff or even hurt/comfort, but literally nothing else sparks up my brain like some gourmet fuckery, so nothing's going to make me stop writing those stories.
...holy shit, that got long.
26. Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?
THE FUCKING KIDNAPPING FIC
I cannot tell you how weird/wild it is that this thing unraveled the way it did. I know I post a lot of multichapters for JJK, but I don't really consider them multichaps as such. More like...six-shots or something (don't ask). I was content poking at porny bits of canon divergence scenarios.
And then @nearalways asked one(1) question: What'd have happened if Yuuji had chosen not to be Sukuna's host when Gojou tells him to choose his hell? We'd also been talking a lot about how dead-eyed and done Yuuji looked in most of his middle school-era flashbacks. Long story very short, I wrote a 119k answer that has done irreparable damage to my sanity and irrevocably changed how I write Gojou in particular.
39. Share a snippet from a WIP
I always have snippets! Especially since I've got some...300k of JJK fic I haven't even posted yet. You can find it under the cut.
55. Of the characters you write for, which is your favorite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readers’ reactions to certain ones?
Yuuji, hands down. The whole reason I'm even in this fandom is because I adore that kid. I haven't been this fascinated by a shonen MC in ages. Me being me, this does mean I put him through unimaginable horrors though!
And no, not at all. You, uh, might notice that I tend to be very set in my opinions 😂
Snippet here:
Yuuji yanks at the hand pinning him down.
There’s a moment where it works. Gojou’s fingers loosen, and his whole rhythm falters, and Yuuji almost, almost frees himself, wholly intent on flipping them over, but then there’s a soft breath of laughter, and a second hand clamps down on the wrist Yuuji has nearly wrenched free.
He makes a furious final attempt, throwing the whole of his strength into it, but this time, Gojou’s hold doesn’t waver for even a second. He’s grinning down at Yuuji, the devil on his lips.
“Devious,” Gojou tells him; it sounds like a compliment. “You’ve grown stronger, Yuuji—much, much stronger.”
And that sounds like pure sex.
Yuuji’s hips buck up helplessly, and Gojou bears down against him, pinning him there too.
“Clearly,” Yuuji hisses through clenched teeth, “not enough.”
“I’m a different kind of beast,” Gojou says easily. His eyes grow heavy-lidded. “But one day soon, Yuuji, you’ll be able to hurt me. Really hurt me. Won’t that be fun?”
Yuuji’s brain is abruptly yanked away from his dick and shoved back into his skull. “What? No! I don’t want that!”
“Of course you do,” Gojou says, laughing. “You will. It’s alright. I’ll let you.”
“Gojou-sensei—”
“But that’s for later. What do you want right now, Yuuji?”
“You,” Yuuji says incredulously, a thousand meanings packed into that one word.
Gojou’s eyes narrow, a different kind of heat than the look he shot Yuuji before. “Don’t cop out on me now. What were you going to do, Yuuji?”
“Fucking—” Yuuji lifts his head just to slam it down on the mattress; it’s not satisfying at all. “I want to fucking touch you! What else!”
“Cute,” Gojou says, his smile growing wider and more unhinged at Yuuji’s growl. “Where, Yuuji? How? I’ve only been gone for nineteen days, but you already forgot the game. I trained you better than this.”

7, 20 and 29!!!
Hello! Thanks for asking 💖
7 and 20 have been answered (can't link because these are all queued, but 7 is in the first and 20 in the last one in the "ask game" tag)
For 29 (favorite line/passage you wrote this year), I'm picking a different passage for everyone who asks because I cannot choose. I think I do this every year 😂
...I have also been using sections instead of lines/paras. Listen, none of you should be surprised about this at this point.
Picked one of my favorite Sukuna-Yuuji interactions, incidentally from the chosoita+goyuu fic:
“Don’t get ahead ideas, brat. I’m not one of your whores. Look.” Yuuji follows Sukuna’s gaze to his own chest—his entirely unblemished chest, not a scar or bruise in sight. “What?” he asks, glancing back up at Sukuna. “It’s not like this is real.” “It’s more real than anything you’ll ever make of your sorry life,” Sukuna says pleasantly. “You really are pathetic if you can’t see what’s right in front of you.” Yuuji takes a furious step forward, hands curling into fists. And he’ll never know what makes him look down at the thick blood sloshing violently at his movement or what keeps him looking as the ripples calm and fade and die, resolving into his own red-tinged reflection. But he does, and he sees them, the scars carved onto his face—a thick snarl of tissue at the corner of his mouth, a flatter line cutting through his eyebrow. “Get it yet?” Sukuna asks; he sounds bored now. “What—or who—kept you from healing all this time is right there in front of you. And it ain’t me.” “No, that’s not—I felt you.” “It wasn’t me you were sensing, brat. It was your own mewling soul.”

All the tags on this post are hilarious, but @calamitouskings, you damn near made me choke laughing with this last one:
Tumblr media
The mental image. Please, I'm dying.
I've stopped my weekly JJK manga posts because I haven't had anything worthwhile to say for the last several weeks (the fight was fun at first, but I've gone from excited to exasperated at this point, and I still stand by what I said on what I'd personally find satisfying in terms of the results), but wild reactions are well and alive in the DMs, with the most recent gem being this:
They should send Okkotsu "Monsterfucker" Yuuta out to seduce the shikigami away from Sukuna C'mon, Yuuta Show hole for a good cause
You're welcome.

Nine people you would like to get to know better
Tagged by @cursedvibes 💙 Gotta admit your recent posts about Houseki no Kuni have got me prettyyyyy curious about it.
Three ships: Yuuji/Gojou, Yuuji/Nanami, and Yuuji/Choso based on the extent of my current interest, but if I had to pick one per fandom, it'd be Yuuji/Gojou, Ichigo/Grimmjow, and Steve/Bucky.
First ever ship: I...have no earthly idea. I got into fandom by accident, read anything and everything, and at some point, I got really into shipping, and then it became my favourite form of fandom engagement (which is hilarious because I'm aromantic as all fuck). But I can't remember how/when it started.
Last song: STITCH ME UP by Point North
Last movie: Last one I saw in a cinema is Everything Everywhere All at Once, I think. Might have watched something later on my laptop but can't remember.
Currently reading: Keeping up with the JJK manga and, as always, ripping into academic texts for a living
Currently watching: The weekly eps of JJK S2 and Bleach TYBW
Currently consuming: Nothing
Currently craving: I just ate so the stomach is closed for business
Tagging, no pressure, @possibleplatypus, @joeys-piano, @stilllostinthedaydream, @calamitouskings, @eusuntgratie, @nylazor, @backwardshirt, @sorrythatwasamistake, @creepydai

Last Line Game
Post the last line you wrote and then tag the number of people that there are words in the line (or whoever you want)!
Tagged by @plotbunnypettingzoo 💜
You should never have met me.
This isn't the actual last line because that's the last line of the last chapter of my latest fic and thus a major spoiler. This is the one right before.
Six words! Tagging, no pressure, @eusuntgratie, @joeys-piano, @backwardshirt, @calamitouskings, @m34gs, and @spacebuck

Last song: THE BREACH by Starset. One of the many, many Starset songs that drive me insane.
Currently watching: You guys know by this point how few things I watch. I'm keeping up with the new Bleach and JJK seasons, and that's it.
Currently reading: Still only regularly reading stuff for work. Though that's less "reading" and more "violent dissection."
Current obsessions: Jujutsu Kaisen in general and Itadori fucking Yuuji in particular
Tagging @stilllostinthedaydream, @yukisdomain, @karaargent @solecyinglife, and @calamitouskings. No pressure though!

It's sukufushi foreplay to risk their lives. how can Sukuna be expected to remain calm and collected when his darling blessing offers him such a unique experience like summoning Mahoraga?? Giving Sukuna the chance to put it down and save his blessing's life in the process ?? Oh it pales to any haiku or epic of his home-time. What better prize can a King of Curses ask for, really? your artists of modern day will write about our love, a love that is depicted with the same balance as life and death, just as fragile as the first blooms of springtime, just as sweet & at the same time, just as bloody and raw as a corpse. 🤷‍♀️ is it really love if you're not risking life and limb to even see each other?
Megumi summoning Mahoraga and then 'dying'?? Sukuna's only fighting it because?? his most beloved blessing gifts him with a giant, unkillable monster for him?? oh, BEHAVE, Megumi! We're in public. You're dragging the entirety of Shibuya into our little romantic foray. 💅

Tumblr, I swear to god 🔪
But yes! Everything under 13 is fully written and just waiting for a slot to open up. I should be able to post my updated JJK timeline... tomorrow? This week, hopefully.
I am hugging you back on the horny fics' (which is...all of them. I promise, all of them) behalf. Also, please, I deeply enjoyed the blabbing. Your tags and commentary are always a delight 💜
More under the cut:
Your perspective on and approach to canon divergence and AU are fascinating to me, and I wouldn't call them ridiculous at all. That kind of respect for canon isn't rare among fans, in my experience, though it might be relatively unusual in transformative fandom. Plus, it can be straight-up intimidating to tackle canon divergence in particular, especially in lore-heavy materials.
My preference, as you've pegged, is the opposite. I do like full AUs, but in general, it's canonverse stories that really hook me, especially for source materials with non-mundane settings. I just counted, and among my 75 plot bunnies, there are 4 mundane AUs and 1 fantasy AU; the other 70 are all canon settings, though often heavily altered, fused, or remixed. While the ratio may differ, my works for my former fandoms would also show similar trends.
I think of it kind of like this: The canon creators gave us a sandbox filled with toys. Now it's up to us to do whatever we want with those toys, be it making them kiss or burying them in the sand.
And it's beyond gratifying to hear this:
… it's usually how i feel when i read your fics in general. an encouragement to go wild in exploring all the possibilities with your creativity because there is no right or wrong answer when you're enjoying yourself, and i'm hella grateful for it.
Seriously, thank you. That's an honor 🥺
The time loop AU is also horny as hell because it's, well, me. Everything is horny. That Yuuji's been living the entire Shibuya day, not just that night, over and over again for some three years. There were multiple iterations where he confided in Gojou and they tried to fix things together, except the exit condition doesn't allow that. Yuuji has to do it himself. The end result is that Yuuji knows Gojou... biblically, and it kind of shows soon after that opening scene.
...oops, rambled.
(Love the pun; puns are great.)
Anyway, you can see why I whore out for loops!! And I can see why you'd do the same for characters driven to insanity because fuck yeah, that's a delicious flavor. Unhinged disasters are just so nice 👌 Now, come take my hand and delve into the time fuckery, Hira.
Thanks so much again!
(Re your tags: My reaction to Sukuna's smirk is to go "is anyone putting a fist in there or...?" and then I start outlining fics for it. So, uh, your tactic might backfire?? Maybe???)
squinting at every title to see which one could possibly be chousou x yuuji, but LORD, they all pique my curiosity. calling in number 45 because it reminds me of little lamb to the slaughter and i love that fic so much. (but is 61 chouita by any chance.)
Nope, that's #9! But good news—a couple of others asked after #9 already. Bravely follow this link: https://voxofthevoid.tumblr.com/tagged/fic%3A-prophetic-self-destruction
(In other news, your pfp continues to trip me up; I'll get used to it!)
45
Title: the blood of the lamb is worth two lions (from "Uma Thurman" by Fallout Boy)
Ship: Gojou/Yuuji, Gojou/Gojou, Gojou/Gojou/Yuuji
CWs: Underage, selfcest
Premise: Ambiguous canonverse future AU where everyone's alive and nothing hurts. Yuuji's in his second year, maybe third, and dating his teacher, as one does. Freshly enlightened teen!Gojou pops into existence, sees who "he" is dating, decides to monopolize Yuuji to mess with his older self, and trips into genuine affection like a fool. He continues the Yuuji monopoly, until adult!Gojou snaps and goes, If you're that desperate for dick, I'll give you some. Yuuji walks in on teen!Gojou impaled on adult!Gojou's dick and enthusiastically joins in. Teen!Gojou is both turned on and betrayed, right until double penetration kills his higher brain functions.
Inspiration: ...I was horny. I mean. Yeah.
61
Title: mutilation out of sight (from "Last Resort" by Papa Roach, but the one I prefer is the cover by Falling in Reverse)
Ship: Gojou/Yuuji
CWs: Underage
Premise: Time loop aftermath, where the one who loops is Yuuji but the narrative is from Gojou's PoV. What happens is that Yuuji gets sucked into a Groundhog Day-style loop where the exit condition (unbeknown to Yuuji, initially) is saving his loved ones and preventing Gojou's sealing. What we see from Gojou's perspective is this: Your dead best friend's puppeted body pops up, you get caught in a little meat prison, and suddenly, said puppet is in pieces and Something That Looks Like Your Favorite Student is hugging your captive, CE-less body. Gojou can undergo the mortifying ordeal of being held by his extremely unhinged student being the most helpless he's been in his adult life.
Inspiration: I'm a whore for time loops, and while you cannot pay me enough to write a time loop set in Shibuya, the aftermath would be delicious, especially if it's Yuuji who loops. He's not as strong at the start as he would be by the end, and his opponents are special-grade curses (externally) and Sukuna (internally). It'd be hell. The number of loops should be in the high hundreds. Yuuji would have aged years living through them (in mind and soul), and his sanity would be...questionable. He'd have long since stopped viewing reality as permanent.
Thanks for asking 😘
