this tornado loves you fic notes

ok i held off on the dad kink for like 4 full fics alright. give a guy a break

this idea started as just kyouji making satomi ride him but completely refusing to actually fuck him + not let satomi move until he admits what kyouji wants to hear...... and it stayed that so yay (innocently chinhands) i mostly outlined how i wanted important dialogue beats to go seeing as the plot is pretty cut and dry, however i did doodle these at work to better picture the scene w them on the couch lmfao

this did start as fully dubcon before i honed more in on what i wanted to do with it. id say it ended up more so as just being like under-negotiated kink + kyouji's phd in pushing boundaries. but you can trust him he knows what satomi really wants (probably!)

i do not remember the last time i opened a fic with a sex scene. im always kind of nervous to do it?? but i think it works here with two smut scenes sandwiching the fic overall

i wanted to make sure that satomi calling him dad while being fucked didnt cause kyouji to pause (physically) at all. i 100% believe he would just immediately internalize that and go with it. kyst worst communicators of the year 4 years running

the yakuza interlude was fun to write... it turns out a year+ of reading rgg fics and working my way thru the games lends itself to me rly enjoying writing about that stuff lol. and i needed to have kyouji think on his feelings before they got back together for the last scene, so what better way to do that than juxtaposing it against his gritty job stuff. something about it is so extremely gap moe right

the movie's la la land im sorry to spoil it if u didnt know or wanted to guess v_v ive never seen it but 1. the parody poster of it they did for the karaiko movie and 2. like every other person with eyes im unreasonably attached to the twice what is love mv

the title's from the neko case song! and the makihara song was kind of a random pull on my end but i think it fits. in my defense the songs that satomi gives him in canon are like half super cutesy lyrics-wise… so i dont think its that far off to imagine he secretly likes kyouji saying that sweet stuff to him... i listened to mostly the aforementioned songs + 80s/90s jpop while writing (southern all stars, yutaka ozaki)

was thinking about what kyouji could have satomi say as the kinda linchpin moment (lol) and then 'i love you' hit me like a fucking truck. i was like holy shit. he absolutely would, hes horrible! kyouji 'id rather get this kid to call me dad than admit i want to spend the rest of my life with him normally' narita

i started writing 1/27 worked on it pretty consistently except when i went away last weekend and forced myself not to reread it or make any edits while i was traveling... i finished the draft and then passed it to art who was kind enough to beta (i was worried this was genuinely incomprehensible to anyone but me so i needed to be sure) putting distance between urself and ur draft is good who'd have thought.... not i

overall though i had so much fun with this one!!!!! i kept being excited to return to it and there were many days where all i wanted was to go home and sit and work on it. its the first really indulgent fic ive written in a bit haha. i hope other people like it as much as i do :'] i feel like ive hit my stride with this ship and im looking forward to whatever i write next.... yaahoooo
