   With a little bit of discussion, they all agreed: it was more practical and more pragmatic to show off their relationship as it truly was than to keep it secret. If they wanted peace and privacy, then there couldn’t be any room for speculation and besides. It was quite exciting getting a glimpse of inside Ace’s head and how he came up with his schemes.

   However, that did come with the shake-up that since Ace’s pawns partners knew what was going on, they had the ability to derail it but he trusted that none of them would put a foot wrong. Neon, especially, used to walking in high heels and bless them but Keiwa and Michinaga did clean up very nicely. Even if it did seem wrong somehow to see them in tuxedos.

   The where, when, and how of the scheme was too easy. Ace was still appearing in movies playing his usual, handsome self more so than an actual fictional character. The others, meanwhile, were finding it a bit hard to find jobs given the clamour around them. For better or for worse, if they were used to it or not.

   There was a small hope in Ace’s heart that this would be a hard reset. Not so hard like the remodellings of the world after the events of a successful Desire Grand Prix royale but akin. There’d be a fresh start with the records set straight and it would all be as easy as getting out of a limousine. One by one, slowly easing the wider public into knowing how much they wanted them to know.

   And so, another movie premier night with beautiful dresses and handsome tuxedos, with more stars on the ground than in the sky came around on the calendar. The sky was black above the red carpet and to every side, the silver flash of a camera going off as some people did their jobs and others got to be fans.

  At the height of the red carpet, after a drive from Ace’s apartment to the movie theatre, the limousine pulled up and it was go-time. No reruns this time.

   Ace, of course, exited the limousine first. He smiled for the cameras, was utterly unfazed as the paparazzi and the news reporters dazzled him. The red carpet underfoot rolled on for what seemed like forever up unto the premier theatre’s doors.

   After this moment of repose, so all the good angles could be shot, Ace turned around and he offered his hand to Neon.

   It made sense that Neon would be the first to exit the limousine after Ace. Either Keiwa or Michinaga next would have been too shocking. Especially since the public consciousness, whilst having a lot of conflicting memories due to all the remodellings the world had gone, to did and did not recall Ace and Neon becoming friendly with one another as celebrity spheres colliding. So there was a little bit of shipping going on, a few ears pricked up and eyes were certainly going wide as Ace unveiled Neon.

   She was wearing a darling, yellow cocktail dress paired with white kitten heels because she couldn’t resist a cat motif. She was giggly and smiley and giddy for the cameras. It was good to see her adored by the general public. The modern day human was not quite so ready for the designer humans of the future but with Keiwa’s wish granted and the GPG gone bust, they had become the norm. Thus allowing Neon to return to her rightful place as Japan’s sweetheart streamer.

   Ace leaned in and Neon looked up at him with her big brown eyes, fluttering her eyelashes. She smiled and so did Ace as he pecked the middle of her forehead. She blushed just slightly, though there was a semblance to a cringe as all the crowd went wild.

   Neon lavished in praise but it was really only genuine praise or affection that she so craved. Regardless, she was quite pampered to be Ace’s one and only girlfriend. However, she was not his one and only partner, more than happy to share with their other dearest ones. Though her wish was not granted, it had come true. Neon was now a girl with more genuine love than she knew what to do with sometimes and she wanted to give the world just a small peek at that. She waited, shifting her weight from one foot to the other before Ace gave her a signal for her to stand down.

   As the fanfare faded, it was expected that Ace and Neon would walk up the red carpet together and that their valet would mosey on so the next celebrity - or celebrity couple - could arrive but not quite. Ace nodded ever so slightly and that movement caught Neon’s eyes and so, she politely stood aside. All whilst holding nervously onto her clutch as Ace moved around her so he could approach the limousine for a second time.

   Ace put out his hand and the paparazzi was momentarily confused when another hand popped out to clasp firmly onto Ace’s. Keiwa’s hand was shaking in a lead inside of Ace’s but Ace was steady. Strong. And pulled Keiwa onto his feet.

   Though that was all but immediately clumsy. He stumbled onto the red carpet - thank goodness he wasn’t wearing kitten heels or that would have been a face-plant for sure - and gawked at the cameras gawking for him. He was the hero of the world. The saviour who had brought world peace and the dead back to life and all the memories that came with it.

   But he was still a boy from a soba shop. This whole world of fame and stardom was very much not his speed.

   “Your tie is crooked.” Ace pointed out, his voice a whisper. “Here, I’ll fix it.”

   “Th-Thank you.” Keiwa croaked.

   Ace smiled his trademark fox smile. It was sweet, it was enigmatic, and he was very nimble as he straightened Keiwa’s forest green tie. 

   “There you go.” Ace said and for additional effect, brushed imaginary fluff and dust off the shoulders of Keiwa’s suit. Even though it was tailor made for him, tailor made was not made for Keiwa.  He still looked good in it, if Ace did say so himself.

   “Appreciated.” Keiwa replied, a rose in either cheek and just to make sure Keiwa knew how cute he looked with a bit of colour, Ace pressed a kiss on either side of his face.

   “Aah, stop it, you only kissed Neon’s forehead.” Keiwa complained.

   “I need it to be crystal clear.” Ace whispered as he leaned out and began to take stock of the reactions.

   Where Keiwa saw perhaps too much in too big an image, Ace saw all the nuance and micro-expressions. The tiny things that added up much more importantly.

   “Aww, I want to kiss Keiwa too. He has no skincare routine yet his face is baby soft.” Neon complained.

   “Do as you please.” Ace said.

   “Yay.” Neon chirped.

   “Don’t I get a say?” Keiwa piped up.

   “Nope.” Neon teased as she tacked herself onto his side, trying to pull him down for a kiss.

   The playful antics perfect for the press and the ensuing photographs, Ace was sure. He might even have to buy any particularly flattering ones for himself, that sounded both endearing and amusing, he decided. In the meantime, he continued to scan the photographers and he was coming to a conclusion that he wasn’t fully expecting.

   They were perfectly alright with it. Sure, not the perfect, model couple they were expecting but the star of the star of the star, the hero who granted the world its world peace, and the fabricated girl who streamed her daily life seemed a good match, right?

   And that was it, right? No more surprises from the world’s favourite Kamen Riders, right? 

   That seemed to be the press was asking amongst themselves but there was a sense of hesitancy. As though they knew these sorts of things didn’t come in threes. An intuition made good on when, after this moment of lovers bantering,  Keiwa then took a step back and more properly joined Neon to the side. Neon was quite cuddly and bubbly with Keiwa who didn’t mind one bit. Her relaxed nature helped calm his own red carpet nerves as he smiled and turned his head expectantly. All for Ace to quietly to beckon forth the… fourth person in the limousine.

   Michinaga glared from inside the plush interior of the limousine. He’d been sitting on the far side and had a half-melted bucket of ice and champagne at his feet. Ace prompted him with one last unfurling of his elegant hand to offer but Michinaga didn’t take it.

   It would have been nice if Michinaga had played along with this little increment of Ace’s plan but no matter. That was, if anything, to be expected of the bull.

   He emerged from inside the limousine and the crowd went silent. Keiwa, hero of the world and all-round nice-natured boy, was a very tough act for Michinaga to follow. Ace was stony-faced as he observed their surroundings. 

   Meanwhile, Michinaga was once again giving his best bad boy impression as he stomped about in his Beroba borrowed Doc Martens because why give up a good thing from a bad place? He stomped up to Neon and Keiwa who were waiting at the wings for him. Neon gave him her best, shiniest smile and Keiwa gave him the thumbs up.

   “Looking good.” Keiwa commented.

   “Thanks.” Michinaga mumbled.

   Neon, meanwhile, like Ace, was attuned to what was going on around them. All of a sudden, there was a shift in atmosphere. She knew that neither she nor the other two had to say a word. Ace said he had the perfect plan to smoothen over Michinaga’s image. They didn’t need to know he was secretly a precious bed hog schnookums behind the scenes. Though he would deny it, covered in all their doona as he may be but they did need to know that he was important to them. Had been before but especially now that peace had been accomplished for all and he was a part of that all. 

   With this sudden breath sucked out of the bodies of the press, Ace took that as his cue whilst his partners remained firm. This was always the most delicate aspect of his plan and their private operations.

   Without even needing to check for charisma and journalism, Ace had already picked a camera and reporter to talk at, not to, there was a difference, in advance and smiled for the recording. He had it all figured out, to the last period.

   “You may be surprised to see Buffa - ah, er, Michinaga but he is quite a different man without his horns. It appears the lone buffalo has found his herd. We were always rivals, yes, we were even rivals with both Keiwa and Neon but we were a team. It feels good to have our partnership not only restored but renewed.” Ace said.

   He was very pleased with that statement that he had penned up in advance. He could already imagine a select sentence or two given premier font and space within the celebrity gossip article to follow in this recording crew’s magazine. He smiled and he rejoined his awaiting partners.

   (Though, if he was the star of star of stars, then it was likely thematically appropriate to call them his co-stars, too.)

   Neon, with a grin, positioned herself between Ace and Keiwa, she linked arms with them both and leaned around, flirtatious, to tease Michinaga. Michinaga, grunted, nostrils flared for half a second, but relented. Fine. If he had to hold hands with Ace, so be it.

   Now that was not in Ace’s plan. He was quite fine with showing the arrangement of they, the final four Kamen Riders ever with surviving ID cores, as it were but this was a nice surprise. Michinaga could be capable of them once a blue moon, it seemed, though he likely was not going to be making breakfast in bed for any of them any time soon but still.

   As a quartet, they all took a step down the red carpet and their valet drove off. The cavalcade of silver, flashing lights looked like stars in the darkness as they were the centre of it. Of the world, of the attention. It felt good. There was a weight off, almost, especially with it done on their own terms.

   And then, all four of them walked down the aisle.

   Well, the red carpet but the aisle could very well be next for them, or so Ace would like to plan ahead.

Geats Quartet needs to practice Self-Care.

[asknarashikari]

Ise: Daddy, Papa, Tou-san, Mama… what is Rider Scum?

Ren: That might be my fault.

Ise: is Ren-jii-san Rider Scum?

Ryo: Ise, from where did you hear that?

Ise: Ren-jii-san was confronted by a bull and he started saying Ren-jii-san was Rider Scum.

The mama and papas react?

Kento: That guy came close enough to my sweet baby to hear such a thing?! Where is he, I need to fry some Buffabutt for dinner!

Rintaro: Calm down, dear. We need to properly formulate a plan to defeat him as thoroughly as possible.

Touma: Alright, I'll call in the big guns [aka the Haouken] and we can set off to fight this raging cow.

Mei: Oooh, I'll come along, I need to see [and take video for posterity] this for myself!

Needless to say, Azuma really wasn't prepared for three angry swordsman daddies (one of whom is a reality warper) to whoop his ass... or for their wife to post vids of his humiliating defeat on the internet for Riders to ridicule him with, defeating him by destroying his dignity forever :D

[ankhlovebot]

yeah i'll post this one on tumblr too . a glimpse into my dark and twisted mind (the way i watch geats)

[zaruba-needslove]

Got a random crack muse popping in my head rn but I'm SO not gonna write them cos head empty, but feel free to adopt it if you want but please gift it to me if u post on AO3 😂😂😂

The crack is like this.

Setting post series aka old management is out the system and it's just Ace being the GM as well as secret player n everyone compete in multiple rounds of games that involve pretty standard issue Jamato that may still try to get their own dreams fulfilled.... but at the end of the day the runner up basically consisted of the OT4 and then Ace revealed himself as a secret player and kei-chan complained that din make sense cheater and ace said alls fair in love n war and basically anyone have a right to get their wishes granted including him so he's gonna fight for it lalala

And dun dun dun, Ace ended up winning again and Miichi let out a long sigh "Aaa geats what stupid wish you gonna make now?" And Ace revealled his wish to being [I wanted to get married to Sakurai Keiwa ] And that's it and Keiwa shrieks like honey.... don't say that out in the open! And then Ace lived happily ever after muahahaha

roflmao fine this muse was outta my brain I can sleep in peace 😂😂😂😂

[polyamanga]

There’s a lot of super Sentai seasons (Gokaiger especially) that can be read as polycule-y! Also Kamen Rider Geats has a main cast that I see a LOT of OT4 readings for, though given recent developments it’s starting to seem like an ot3 plus a really bad breakup with one member…

That sounds interesting! My husband is pretty interested in sentai stuff (he's been wanting to get into Kamen Rider for a while lol) so this might give me some incentive to sit down and watch some with him lol. It makes sense honestly; stuff about a small, close-knit group of people can lend itself to a lot of really cute poly vibes.

Thank you for the rec!!

[preparefortroubleandmakeitw]

Might not be able to watch the last two geats movies for a few days so let me scream about it overall here.

Basically i would say... the highs were high and the lows were low.

Not even necessarily speaking plot-wise, more about my personal enjoyment and how depressed it made me. The highs of ep16 (merry christmas to me specifically) and 46 (can't believe canon did it before i could wtf), along with so many other moments (basically any time neon was cool af 💛, or anything ot3/ot4 coded❤️) compared to the lows of 42 and 49 and those like mid-30s where no one was getting along...

Things were rough at times but i think post-stage show is very close to the world i would like to see for them, where they are happy and together and fighting the good fight ❤️💚💛💜🤍

Bit of (ship) rambling under the cut orz

The animal motif (lowkey the reason i watched) carries the cutesy undertones so hard but it does so so well i have nothing to say apart from i'm expecting cute animal tranformation fics or else what are we even doing here.

Disappointed that Neon never got the gREAT buckle. I wanna See It!! Crossover/jyamato movies i'm counting on 🫵 you!

Kinda assuming ace has a normal lifespan after everything is said and done, and won't keep remembering come next incarnation, because otherwise i think it would be too sad... He's had enough loneliness already, no? (But then, it's a little unclear even after the black fox movie so i reserve the right to believe my own headcanons about it, unless the crossover or the jyamato movie intervene.)

Platonic ships: 🦊🦝🐱🐮and WHAT is tsumuri's emote omg

Romantic ships: 🦊🦝🐱🐮

I started out p heavily into keiace (they're still up there❤️) and of course i'm an ot3 fan so neon padded her way in, then as things Kept Happening micchy barged in. as he does.

Seeing so many fics tagged with the ot4 on ao3 genuinely had me making deranged pterodactyl noises😂Hoping to contribute to the fanfic as well, i swear i have ideas!

Kamen Rider Geats Ep. 39 Opening

[flaim-ita]

Geats OT4 1, 4, 7, 9 , 10

1 - Who’s the best gift giver? Do they go in on gifts or do it separately?

Ace is the best. He’s as good with nailing the gifts as he is with most things. Neon is a close second though.

If they’re going to a group thing they usually just figure it’s up to Ace. Sometimes any number of them bring backups bc they can’t trust the vibe of Ace’s smile that day.

4 - How do date nights look like? 

Entirely depends! Sometimes they stay in. Ace and Michinaga are much more affectionate in private and half of the cule can cook. Watching a movie is the preferred outcome because if it’s a game somehow a Rider belt gets pulled out. All in good fun, of course. Neon likes it though. Cozy and lived in. It makes her home feel… real.

Ace loves taking them out for dinner. Where doesn’t matter as much as the opportunity to treat and spoil his beloveds while still maintaining his aesthetic.

Michinaga doesn’t really care where they are or what they’re doing. Sometimes he runs into Keiwa studying on his lunch break and he considers that as much a date as that time Ace dragged him to a fancy steakhouse. (Unfortunately the food was delicious so Michinaga can’t really complain).

Whatever they do, food creeps into it.

7 - Who brings home stray pets and convinces the others to keep them? 

Michinaga swears they just keep following him home. Neon adores it. Ace… has much more complicated feelings on the subject.

9 - Who’s the one who remembers everyone’s favorite orders at cafes/restaurants? 

Ace.

10 - Would/do they have kids? Who are the Responsible Parents, who are the Cool Parents™ to the polywogs? 

Yes! They have one son, Haruki! I’m still working on it but Ace has had three children who die young but stick around in spirit, I just haven’t decided what to do with them. There’s Axel/Akishi and Eva/Eri (the children of a woman who may or may not be Keiwa’s past life - they certainly think so enough to call him Mama) and Bii, Ace’s daughter from one of his earliest lives.

Ace is the responsible parent 100%. He’s protective and determined to give them a strong start in life with practical skills and an understanding of consequences.

Keiwa folds the moment the kids look at him with an emotion. Please help him. Very much the parent they ask if the others say no. He’s also the most stressed about the magically summoned nature of his kids, but he does care for them.

Neon is the fun parent though. She wants to give her children the freedom to do what they want that she never had with the security of knowing Mom said it’s okay and she’s right nearby watching if they need anything.

Michinaga is a weird middle ground. He does cave easily but he’s also not willing to let them get away with shit. If something is important to them he’ll move Heaven and earth but if they throw and overblown tantrum he’ll just hold them while they kick and scream until they’re willing to talk about it or change activities.

[chancellorxofxtrash]

You know exactly what I’m gonna ask.

Geats ot4 and/or decade ot4 for the ship bingo?

Yeah. Yeah I knew, lmao

Geats OT4:

Decade OT4 is almost exactly the same with one difference. The difference is there because I'm taking both of these as post-canon

I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE A TAD BIT MORE LIKELY TO MAKE EACH OTHER WORSE POST-CANON THAN THE GEATS OT4 ARE

Also I circled deeply wrong because I know us, and there IS something deeply wrong with most of us

Still accepting ships
