#he decides to keep playing with Fushimi just to show his superiority

[ridiasfangirlings]

Post-RoK, Saru plays online games for fun in his spare time. Reluctantly teams up with someone cause a quest required it be cleared by more than one player and this other player is high level as well and wasn't that bad. Teams up with this player again whenever a quest that needs it pops up. Gets a bit comfortable with the other person and sometimes vaguely vents about Misaki and the other person vents to him sometimes about stuff, too. Finds out later that the other player is actually Sukuna.

Post-ROK Fushimi is also slightly more willing to indulge in the multiplayer if he has too, like he's learning to rely on other people after all. Imagine he hasn't played online games in a while because he didn't want to deal with the idea of co-op or having to work with other people but then post-ROK he decides to give it a try again. Maybe Yata talks him into it, knowing how Fushimi used to love those kinds of games, and Yata even plays along with him sometimes and helps him with dungeons and stuff. One day Fushimi's playing on his own and some limited-time special dungeon pops up that can only be defeated by a team of at least two players. Yata's at work and won't be free for several hours, by which time the dungeon will have closed, and Fushimi really wants the rare item inside. His character is hanging around outside the dungeon and Fushimi decides to just go for it and make a request for a teammate. Someone responds to him almost immediately, another player who has a high level and some good gear, so Fushimi accepts the request.

The two of them end up making a pretty good team, the other guy tends to run ahead a little and Fushimi finds himself clicking his tongue and thinking that this guys needs to learn to work with other people more (possibly totally unaware of the irony in this thought). The other player is strong though and Fushimi likes having someone who can keep up with him, maybe without even quite realizing Fushimi keeps trying via his play style to get the other guy to fall into a rhythm rather than rushing ahead all the time. They make a good team and eventually complete the dungeon in like a record time, the other player is all smug like huh I guess you were actually good enough to keep up with me and Fushimi's like weren't you the one always getting us into trouble and needing rescue. The other guy's like yeah well anyway if you need help with a dungeon again just call me. Fushimi doesn't really think much about that but maybe the other player contacts him another time when a dungeon pops up, acting like 'hey I can help you with this if you want' and Fushimi figures why not, he'll need to beat the dungeon eventually anyway.

Eventually the two of them start to get more comfortable with each other, Fushimi kinda suspects that this other player must be a kid with a big head who can't find anyone else to play with him. He makes a comment to that effect and is snapped at but then the player admits that while he is definitely not a kid maybe he's been getting tired of playing by himself all the time. After a while the other player opens up more and says he used to have someone amazing who would play games with him but that person is gone and the 'big brother-like guy' that he's living with doesn't like games so he's actually feeling a little lonely. Fushimi understands that too and vaguely alludes to his own situation, how he had a falling out with his only friend and they're just starting to make up and he's realizing that his coworkers care a lot about him too but it's awkward learning to accept this sort of affection.

One day when they're playing maybe the loot they win is a scythe and the other player is pumped because he's been trying to get this weapon forever. While he's celebrating he makes a comment about how it reminds him of 'all the great times with Nagare' and Fushimi just freezes at the sight of that name. He recalls the other things that this guy has said, about having been with someone who played games and complaining about how the guy he lives with won't play video games because they aren't 'beautiful' and Fushimi realizes that there's only one person this could be. Fushimi's like 'that brat, huh?' and he almost wants to log off but then he just shakes his head and chuckles like well why not. He figures he'll keep this to himself for a bit, since Sukuna probably would log off if he knew it was Fushimi, and maybe he can finally teach the brat some lessons in this capacity and get him to grow up a little.

1. Homra & S4 find an Otome game based off them. (Their genders have been swapped & they've got slightly altered names to avoid copyright.) The game is called Kiss Project & was created by the combined might of the Fan Clubs of Homra/S4 members working together. In it, you can date any of the Alphabet 'girls' easily. It's when you try to get with the Kings, their seconds, or third in commands that you run into problems. Mikoto/Saruhiko/Seri aren't receptive no matter what option you choose.

I'm imagining this as like having a secret Doki Doki Literature Club type twist where if you show basically any interest in Misaki at all Fushimi kills you dead in a horrible bloody Bad End XD So maybe this started as like a fun fan project by the Fushimi fan club and then some of the other splinter clubs in the other clans get in on it and they realize that they could make some bank creating an otome game based on their extremely pretty superiors. Since they plan to sell this thing they can't make it too obvious though, which is when someone gets the idea to genderswap everyone. Thus the Kiss Project otome game is born, wherein you as the player character navigate the game and woo various alphabet girls all while trying to unlock the secret routes involving getting their very oblivious superiors to hook up.

They end up selling the game at like some random doujinshi convention, which is where it gets unwittingly picked up by Enomoto. Eno was just looking at a few of the booths and he notices that the girl on the cover of this game looks oddly like Fushimi-san, which gets him curious enough to buy the game. As it happens there are Homra members manning the booth when he shows up and he's in cosplay anyway so they don't realize that they're selling the game to an actual Scepter 4 member. Enomoto buys the game and thinks maybe it could be fun to play it with the guys, the Homra and Scepter 4 alphabet squads are having like a joint party at Scepter 4 later that evening as a way of getting to know each other more (say this is post-ROK in an Everybody Lives type universe).

So that evening all the alphabet squads are just hanging out and talking and eating, and Hidaka asks if Enomoto bought a game they can play. The guys were expecting he'd buy some sort of fighting game they can all multiplayer but instead Enomoto pulls out the otome game, Hidaka's like wait you brought a girl game but then Bandou's all hey I haven't played that one let's try it out. Enomoto slips the disc in and everyone has a long '...hey wait a minute here' moment as the opening theme plays: imagine beautiful shots of like a school campus and then you see a gorgeous girl who looks just like Fushimi. She's followed by another girl running to catch up who happens to look like Yata, as they run they past sparkling senpais who look vaguely like female versions of Munakata and Mikoto. The camera pans up to a handsome boy who looks like Awashima standing in the library followed by a shot of a girl who looks like Kusanagi standing behind a bar counter winking at the boys around her. In between these shots there are quick flashes of each member of the alphabet squad, all girls, and the actual alphabet squads all exchange looks (also imagine this is a fanservice game too so not only is there the uncomfortable feeling of realizing that your comrade looks cute as a girl but also getting to see a pantyshot while you're at it).

Enomoto coughs nervously and wonders if they should keep playing this, the general consensus is they need to see where this game goes. There's some discussion over who to romance first, maybe someone jokingly suggests Yata and Enomoto decides to give it a try. He has experience with these sorts of games so he's got the player character saying all the right things to get Yata to stutter and blush and be all cute and it seems like he's certainly going to win this route...until his character is dragged into the bathroom by Fushimi and bloodily dismembered in what is way too graphic a bad end for a cute dating sim.

Maybe as they keep playing the group discovers that while the alphabet girls can be romanced, every time Enomoto tries to have the player character romance one of the Unobtainable Six it either ends with the character constantly blowing the player off or there's some kind of bad end. Finally Dewa caustically jokes that maybe Enomoto should try to get Fushimi and Yata to hook up instead, cue the entire group getting way too into the game as Enomoto has the player character become a matchmaker and they slowly get to enjoy Sarumi eventually solving all their problems and finally hooking up (bonus if they have yet to actually hook up in 'real life' and the squads have been trying to get that to happen). Everyone cheers as Game!Fushimi and Game!Yata kiss and suddenly an achievement window comes up congratulating the player on their victory. Everyone exchanges glances as they realize that maybe the 'goal' of the game is not to hook up with their superiors at all but to match make, and now they're all suddenly super invested as they proceed to work together to finally get Mikorei and Izuseri to hook up in game, while possibly taking notes for how to make this happen with their actual superiors.

All Homra and Scepter 4 member turn into baby except Mikoto and Munakata

….But who's going to babysit the babysitters XD Imagine this happens one day when the clans run into each other and are doing the usual fight thing, Munakata and Mikoto end up like battling on a rooftop away from everyone else and enjoying themselves as usual. As it happens Scepter 4 was pursuing a particular Strain at the time, who sees the chaos and decides to have a little fun while both the Red and Blue clans are occupied. The Strain starts sneakily using its powers on all the clansmen one by one and by the time everyone starts to notice that something strange is going on it's too late. The only two who don't get attacked are Munakata and Mikoto, who are further away from everyone else, and besides that the Strain figures this is fun but they don't really want to cross the Red and Blue Kings. At some point Munakata at least notices that things seem to have gotten quiet back where he left his clansmen and he reluctantly has to tell Suoh they will finish this later as he goes to check on his men. Cue Munakata arriving to find a bunch of crying wandering babies who all look very familiar. Munakata's all 'oya...' while Mikoto shows up next to him, raises an eyebrow and goes 'hm.'

So obviously they need to take care of these kids until the power wears off and Munakata probably doesn't trust Mikoto with children, like while he has no interest in overseeing the welfare of the Red clan as one who pursues justice he cannot in good conscience leave Suoh alone with innocent babies either. Mikoto's like 'You want 'em? Here,' dumping a tiny Yata sucking his thumb into Munakata's arms. Baby Fushimi, already in Munakata's arms, immediately starts pulling on baby Yata's cheeks and soon the two of them are trying to fight while still being held by Munakata, who gives Mikoto a cold look over their heads. Munakata suggests they return with the children to Scepter 4 where they will have an easier time looking after the children together (also noting that a bar is no place for children). Baby Anna is tugging on Mikoto's jeans and he sighs and picks her up, figuring he hates it but he'll agree if only because he can't take care of all these brats on his own and maybe having someone else to help will like zero out the extra annoyance of that person being Munakata.

Everyone is thus returned to Scepter 4, Munakata briefly against his better judgment leaves Mikoto to watch the kids while he goes to buy emergency strollers or something to transport everyone in and comes back to half his clansmen eating dirt while Mikoto just sits there smoking and being climbed on by Anna and Totsuka. Munakata informs Mikoto that smoking is not good for the childrens' lungs and Mikoto gives this aggrieved sigh as he puts the cigarette out. Munakata then asks Mikoto to help him get the children back to the Scepter 4 van, dotingly tucking baby Fushimi and baby Awashima into a stroller and putting a nice soft blanket over them. Mikoto grabs baby Chitose and baby Dewa and throws them over his shoulders, Munakata sighs like if you could be delicate for once in your life, Suoh. By the time they get to Scepter 4 most of the kids are getting fussy and Munakata's all trying to play peek a boo with his clansmen while Mikoto just keeps his occupied by making a flame in his hand and letting them all stare at it.

Munakata has one of Scepter 4's many rooms prepared as a makeshift nursery and he and Mikoto spend the next few hours failing at parenting, Munakata trying to dote on his babies while also scolding Mikoto for his lax child rearing on the Homra side. Fushimi and Yata keep sneaking out of their cribs and getting into baby fights, while Totsuka somehow manages to escape and clings to Mikoto's back like he's getting a piggyback ride, all while smiling and gurgling happily. Munakata has a lot to say about Mikoto's way of dealing with children, like it's a constant 'do not hold the child upside down, Suoh,' 'Please do not let the children near fire, Suoh,' 'I believe Totsuka-kun is climbing on the rafters again Suoh, please watch him more closely.' Mikoto thinks Munakata's being a pretty big know it all for a guy who hasn't reared children before and Munakata pushes up his glasses as he notes that it seems even so his methods are superior. Mikoto twitches slightly and decides he's going to wipe that smirk off Mikoto's face and Munakata's all I would like to see you attempt it..and then suddenly all the kids start crying and they have to separate and try to calm everyone down (and by the time that's done Mikoto decides he's too tired to kick Munakata's ass and so he takes a nap in the middle of the room and lets Munakata handle the kids for a while).

Competition (sports) Scepter 4 and Homra. Judge's silver trio. The main universe or Gakuen k or ( show ) idol k. Hilarious interactions of sarumi, mikorei and everyone else.

I'm thinking Idol K on this one just because imagine Homra and Scepter 4 on one of those idol variety shows and they have to do this major sports competition thing while the Silvers get to judge everyone. Munakata of course is all about the idol variety show, he always has different challenges for his men to undertake (hey this is canon now from the short stories) and maybe he decides to invite Homra and Hakumaitou for this one. The idea of 'Fight! The Ultimate Idol Sport Challenge!' is born, wherein the idols will all compete in various sporting events in order to see who will prevail as the number one team. The Homra guys are probably all hyped up about this, like they are so ready to kick some ass and show that they're superior, figuring that since their style is more active there's no way they can lose a sports competition against a bunch of nerds. Scepter 4 meanwhile all look like they're preparing to die because they know the kinds of challenges Munakata prepares for this kind of show and there's no way this will be just normal 'sports.'

So the first contest seems easy enough, diving from a high board into a pool and then swimming from one end to the other. Yata decides to go for the Homra team, figuring that he's super fast underwater and he's not worried about heights. He's disappointed when Fushimi chooses not to be his opponent, taunting Fushimi for being a wimp and come on are you afraid of a little height. Fushimi just clicks his tongue and says he's not an idiot that's all, as he shoves Hidaka towards the diving board. Hidaka's staring down like he thinks he's going to die and Yata doesn't get why these guys are all acting so weak-hearted, like the board isn't even that high up. Shiro blows a whistle to start the race and Yata dives right in, thinking this will be easy....which is when he suddenly finds himself face to face with a shark. Yata half jumps out of the water, flailing, all while Shiro's being the MC and narrating how they'll be swimming in a pool full of dangerous sharks. Yata's like what the fuck how is this a normal race, meanwhile Hidaka punches the nearest shark in the nose and then swims for his life because he just knew it was going to be something like this. Hidaka wins, Yata barely makes it out with his life and only survives due to Fujishima jumping in and taming all the sharks (they are his friends now, he wants to take them home).

Yata's like the next game's gonna be normal, right, and turns out they're playing a game of soccer. This seems easy, Scepter 4 versus Homra and Yata's ready to take Fushimi down. Fushimi's all as if you could keep up with me and as soon as the game starts Yata runs for the ball. Fushimi intercepts him and the two of them have a good back and forth going of each constantly stealing the ball from the other when the ball starts making an ominous beeping noise. Now all of a sudden Yata's like you know what Saru you take it, Fushimi clicks his tongue and sends it back all didn't you want to show me who was the best Misaki. Yata's like nah you take it, Fushimi insists Yata take it and they're basically running side by side trying to get the other to take the ball when the soccer ball promptly explodes. When the smoke clears they're both covered in ash, Yata still so confused and Fushimi sitting there with dead fish eyes because he knew this game was too normal. Shiro calls this one a tie.

The next game is another team challenge, high velocity dodgeball. Most members are already dreading it as dodgeballs fall down from the ceiling, Doumyouji gets hit by one and is knocked out cold because of course they're ridiculously heavy and you could probably kill a person with these. Munakata grabs a ball with one hand and admires the craftsmanship of it before launching it straight at Mikoto. Mikoto dodges and smirks, he can't wait to throw a ball right in Munakata's face. The rest of their respective teams quickly tag out (Fushimi lightly knocks himself in the head in order to get out of this because no) and it's soon just Mikoto and Munakata throwing dodgeballs at each other's faces. Shiro, continuing the running commentary, notes that this seems like it's gotten a bit dangerous and they may need to stop before someone gets a concussion, both Munakata and Mikoto 'accidentally' launch a ball at him at the same time and Shiro is down for the count. Munakata says it's quite barbaric of Mikoto to attack their host, Mikoto's all pretty sure you just did that too. Munakata states his was an accident as he very deliberately aims for Mikoto's face again, Mikoto's all yeah sure looked that way as he crosses over the team dividing line and attempts to just hit Munakata with the ball himself. Munakata ducks and soon they're just fighting it out with dodgeballs, on the sidelines Kuroh and Neko are taking care of Shiro's concussion while the rest of Homra and Scepter 4 are just like sitting and drinking juice boxes as they watch their leaders go at it. The ratings, as expected, are through the roof.

What if in the three dads AU, Munakata's original chat with Saruhiko in the van got interrupted by someone from Homra (since they probably watch out for Saruhiko more in that AU), so Munakata decides to use more drastic measures to scout him and arrests him in order to talk to him (for some small charge that no one would normally pay attention to)? How would the Homra trio react to their son being arrested? This is assuming this is a branch where he stays in Homra. Thank you!!

I think they wouldfigure out that there’s something else going on right away,especially if things still went the same in regards to Kusanagi andFushimi going to Scepter 4 and Munakata making a play for Fushimiwhile they’re there. Like if we’re going for AU where Fushimi staysin Homra but Munakata still tempts him, maybe Munakata’s been lookingfor a good pretext to get to talk to him one on one and thehallucinations end up giving him that, say Fushimi attacks one of theScepter 4 members thinking that it’s Niki and rather than letting himgo as Munakata does in canon he arrests Fushimi instead for attackinghis men. Of course Munakata knows full well that there’s somethingelse going on (still picking up Fushimi’s PDA afterward and notingthat Fushimi may have caught a cold) but this is a good excuse forhim to get some one on one time with Fushimi and he’s willing to dowhat he has to in order to try and woo Fushimi over to Scepter 4.

Of course Homrafinds out about this quick enough and I think Mikoto himself goes totalk to Munakata over it, like Kusanagi wants to be the one who talkswith Munakata in order to find some way to smooth this over(especially when he hears that Fushimi is imprisoned for attacking aScepter 4 member) but then Mikoto actually gets off the couch lookingpissed as he says he’s going to see Munakata. Kusanagi’s probably allworried that this is going to start up some inter-clan war orsomething but at the same time he’s not planning on letting Fushimistay a prisoner at Scepter 4 either and he kinda suspects thatthere’s something going on that made Munakata decide to arrestFushimi. Mikoto meanwhile ignores all protocol and probably justwalks straight into Scepter 4, terrifying Munakata’s subordinates ashe asks where his kid is, Munakata shows up and notes that Mikoto isas straightforward as always. Mikoto’s pretty much just like cut outall the frilly shit Munakata and give me the kid back. Munakata getsthis irritatingly superior smile as he notes that Fushimi attackedhis men and so Munakata is perfectly within his rights to imprisonhim for it. Mikoto glares at him and wonders why Fushimi would dothat, like implying that Munakata trumped up some charges andMunakata assures him that Fushimi-kun did indeed attack a Scepter 4member but perhaps he is not feeling himself currently and seeing asHomra has not notice anything isn’t he safer in Scepter 4 anyway. Ithink eventually Mikoto would have to be pulled away just to keep himfrom straight up burning Scepter 4 headquarters down and causing allkinds of issues with the other clans, but before he goes he makes itclear that if Munakata does anything to Fushimi Mikoto really willburn the place down, even if it means starting a war between them.

From case files we saw that awashima has a real bad sense of direction. Could you do a funny scenario with it?

Maybe at some point post-ROK due to a Strain power Awashima, Fushimiand the alphabet squad get trapped inside like this giant hedge mazeand they need to navigate it in order to get back to where Munakatais dealing with a coordinated attack from the Strain’s allies, likeit’s all part of a plan to separate Munakata from his clansmen andkill him. Fushimi’s been injured prior to the Strain power activatingand say he’s like slightly concussed, he has a general idea of wherehe is and everything but he’s in no shape to lead. Awashima’s ofcourse worried about Munakata and so she decides to lead the squadout of the maze on her own, the alphabet boys know she’s not verygood with directions but with Fushimi out of commission no one reallyhas sufficient authority to stop her either (the only one who mightbe able to is Akiyama and I like to headcanon that his sense ofdirection isn’t the best either which is why we always see himdriving, he’s an excellent driver but a shit navigator, that’sBenzai’s job. And knowing he’s no good at directions himself he feelsthat he can’t override Awashima since he wouldn’t do a much betterjob).

Awashima begins to lead the squad out and somehow she just keepsleading them into worse and worse situations, like at one point shedecides that they definitely need to make a left here and they end upstumbling into one of the many traps that the Strain left for them, asmall clearing full of giant carnivorous flowers. Fushimi getsgrabbed by one because their writhing tentacles can’t resist him andthe rest of the squad has to rescue him before there’s another‘artfully torn clothes’ situation. Once they manage to free Fushimiand make a run for it Benzai tries to suggest that they leave a trailbehind them so they know where they’ve been, like Doumyouji has abunch of candy in his pocket and they decide to start dropping itevery couple feet to mark their trail. At one point they run acrossthe same peppermint three times because Awashima somehow managed tomake two completely opposite turns that nonetheless ended them backin the same spot. She’s getting a little flustered by this point butdetermined to keep everyone in control, ordering them to move forwardeven as the rest of the squad wonders how they can best break it toher that she’s telling them to go back the way they came towards thegiant carnivorous flowers. There’s a quick game of rock paperscissors to decide who tells her, unfortunately Akiyama wins and hecan’t bring himself to correct a superior officer and so they end upfighting the flowers again.

Finally maybe they end up confronting the Strain himself, who showsup to gloat. Awashima’s really frustrated by this point and extremelyworried about Munakata so she attacks the Strain herself, nearlytaking him down. He can control the maze though and keeps using it toavoid her, finally he’s defeated when Awashima distracts him longenough that the still barely conscious Fushimi can launch a sneakattack. The Strain drops a map that shows the way out of the maze,everyone is super relieved until Awashima takes control of the mapand starts to confidently lead everyone forward. They end up back atthe carnivorous flowers two more times before Hidaka notices thatAwashima’s holding the map upside down and they have to play rockpaper scissors again to decide who gets to be the one who tells her.Hidaka wins this time and he does tell her, she looks so upset thathe feels bad and quickly tries to console her. She finally recoversherself and shoves the map at him, stating that he is now in chargeof leading them out (luckily Hidaka’s better with directions and theyescape the maze just in time to see Munakata calmly finishing off thelast of his attackers, not a single hair out of place).
