Caterpillar’s Heart

For the @saiyuki-69mins first week challenge: Past vs Present

Jyoan-centric, introspective, angst. Rating G

(Yeah, I can’t help myself. Jyoan is my patronus. Literally, given the title. This little introspective piece was inspired by the little we know of his backround, so before reading this I suggest you go check this page out. This was written in under 60 minutes but with a little extra for spell-check and a bit of editing, please keep in mind I’m EFL so~ also not betae’d, so I’m praying there will be no major mistakes. Ok I think I said enough, hope yo enjoy~)

Growing up he often felt like a caterpillar, crawling  through the rubble and dirt of a devastated land. With reddish eyes, pale skin, and a body too weak to stand up, too fragile to fight, crushed under the weight of hunger, war and violence. Helpless, neglected, ill-treated and deprived of his childhood, he soon realized the only way to survive was by defending all he had left, which was himself. His weak, underdeveloped insect body. He slowly built a shell around it, to protect himself from the ugliness of this world. An armor thick and coarse enough to push everyone away, not allowing anything to reach the inner, most vulnerable part of himself. His caterpillar's heart. He lived like this for so long, feeling safe inside his cocoon of grief and fears. But as the years started to go by, the chrysalis began to disintegrate, allowing the world to see what has been growing inside of it. By taking the time to heal it and nurturing it, the once gaunt exterior now looks beautiful and bright; a dazzling butterfly comes out of it, colorful and showy, fluttering  around with grace and catching everyone's attention. The more eyes on him, the more he shines. His vibrant, multicolored wings have become his second armor, as an extension of the shell that once enveloped the same fragile, brittle body he still carries, ready to shatter at any given moment.

Roommates - Saiyuki ficlet (Sanzo + Jyoan au)

((I wanted an art school au. So I made an art school au. For @saiyuki-69mins prompt for week 14, school vs work. These two are absolutely capable of a Pure and Wholesome friendship ok. I absolutely stand by that. They help each other out, ok. I didn’t proofread this and I’m falling asleep but I did the thing.))

------------------------

“Genjo, I need you to do me a favor.” Jyoan’s words come as a surprise, startling him enough that he turns without thinking, cocking a brow in confusion.

“With what?”

“I need you to model for me. Someone canceled last minute and this presentation is today.”

There’s a note of genuine distress in his roommate’s voice, and Genjo knows the plea hadn’t come without him exhausting every other available option. They aren’t in the same field, and Genjo doesn’t model.

“You sure it’s okay?”

“Yes, I called my teacher. The clothes should fit you, and I’ll tell you exactly what to do. I just need a live model who can pull off the look right.” Jyoan’s eyes meet his, and there is enough desperation there that he can’t stop himself, despite his misgivings.

“Alright. I’ll do it.”

To Jyoan’s credit, in his element he directs well; the perfectionist in him giving him an eye for detail. And yet, Genjo never feels uncomfortable with what he is told to do, though it’s certainly not his forte.

The class never seems to catch on, and he hears several of them mutter amongst themselves trying to find out when he’s booking. Genjo ignores them, because there’s only one person who can talk him into this shit. Jyoan tells him to keep the clothes when the project is graded and done - a perfect score - and hands them off to Genjo like it’s nothing. Genjo doesn’t miss the slight pride in his eyes on their next trip to the bar when he just so happens to find Jyoan’s design in his closet.

The clothes are comfortable, he says, and he leaves it at that.

----

“Jyoan, I need you to model for me.”

Weeks later find Genjo at Jyoan’s door, the same tone of pleading in his voice. When Jyoan turns to look at him, he sees his own confusion mirrored in delicate features.

“You do? Why?”

“Figure painting. None of the models are available until after it’s due. It has to be live.”

The concern in Jyoan’s voice is genuine, brows knitting together in uncertainty.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. It’ll be fine. You just have to pose long enough for me to get the sketch down. I’ll direct you where I need.” He doesn’t miss the pleading in his own voice, and neither does Jyoan. The verbal confimation almost isn’t necessary, the look on his face saying more than enough.

“I’ll do it.”

Jyoan barely needs any direction, and he stays impressively still for as long as Sanzo needs, despite the pose. With the light falling just so, the fabrics draped just right, and hair falling just so, the lines of his body make an elegant, delicate picture. Neither the professor nor the class can find anything to say, and it’s Genjo’s highest grade to date. They all praise the subject, and the remarkable way Genjo captured the look in his eyes. He doesn’t tell them his roommate is a predictable man.

When Genjo brings it home, Jyoan insists on hanging it on the living room wall, to celebrate, he says. He looks back every now and then, the same look of wonder crossing his features. Like he’s never realized what he is capable of.

He says art beautifies a space, and Genjo doesn’t argue.

----

They make a good partnership between the two of them. They work together well, and somehow manage to draw out the strengths of their programs, in their own ways. Genjo has an eye for design, even though he won’t admit it, and Jyoan knows color even better than Genjo. And if they both happen to model a lot in the process, it’s an added bonus.

Their professors learn not to comment on the sudden increase in designs and paintings with the same subject matter. After all, they’re roommates.

Kou for the ask meme? Alt. Jyoan

Me, doing both bc I can (I SPY YOU)

Kou:

favorite thing about them: Still, how dedicated he is to his people. And he’s a dweeb

least favorite thing about them: He’s a dumbass. :T

favorite line: When he says the Sanzo party will be fine even if they leave them for a while. Also when finding out about Sanzo “wait, he’s actually a priest?” Yeah bias but also fucking LMAO.

brOTP: Kou/Goku. Kou/the Kou party. Kou/Yaone Kou/happiness //shot

OTP: Y’ALL KNOW I’T SANKOU OK. But like not mad about Kou/Gojyo, or Kou/Sanzo/Doku 3-way.

nOTP: Kou/Nii. Kou/Doku. Kou/Yaone. I don’t hate them I’m just... they ain’t for me.

random headcanon: What have I not already extensively talked about.... I’m gonna just go with his body temperature is higher bc he’s a fire demon. Bc at this point I can’t remember what hasn’t been said.

unpopular opinion: The anime was actually terrible for his characterization and honestly sometimes the musicals miss, but they’re the closest (behind blast). But anime characterization for him is still far too common in the few fics that have him, so. Content is sparse.

song i associate with them: hhmmmmMMM I wanna say Things WE Lost in the Fire by Bastille. Yes it’s SanKou also but like. I can’t not think of him with that soooo fight me?

favorite picture of them: All of them, but probably the postcard for the Reload musical where Sanzo n’ Kou are at the front? Or anything with him and the Kou party bc I like suffering.

Jyoan:

favorite thing about them: THAT HE’S FABULOUS? And also like. Tsundere as hell. God bless him.

least favorite thing about them: Nothing he’s perfect shut up

favorite line: Not line, but the moment he goes in with Mom and the others to defend Houmei’s actions protecting Genkai? Also the moment in the musical when he’s the first to grab Houmei’s hand but I might be biased.

brOTP: Ganpaku/Jyoan, but also a little bit homo.

OTP: Sanzo/Jyoan(/Goudai) is admittedly my number one, followed by Houmei/Jyoan right after. Because I fell into the daddydom ot3 and I must champion it. (But Lunar Butterfly is also otp, longterm otp, I LOVE THEM) Also technically momo/jyoan by themselves. Fight me?

nOTP: I don’t think I have one? Genkai/Jyoan MAYBE but also like it’s not a no in every way, just sexual probs not (but as I headcanon both of them kinda ace...)

random headcanon: Jae is the better one to ask lbr but uhhhh he has daddy issues or like idk he’s a softie, but I think that’s really canon. BUT maybe also I think him and Momo could get along well, if they interacted together enough in canon, they just haven’t yet. There. That’s my headcanon with zero bias.

unpopular opinion: He’s a gem and deserves more love. (Along with all of Ibun. Ibun is great kthxbai)

song i associate with them: Anything by Marina and the Diamonds. And Lana del Rey. He’s that bitch.

favorite picture of them: That one from the musical I don’t have on hand where he’s all up on Momo, for reasons. Also that one where he looks like a diva ho. (so. All of them.)

Lost In History

Touken Ranbu x Hakuoki Crossover

"A new enemy appears and joins the ranks of the History Retrograde Army. It is a new enemy for many of the swords but it is an old enemy for some of them. Their appearance is an ominous sign. A harbinger of disaster."

  I have this head-canon where Muramasa is a demon blade that belonged to Kazama Chikage. And thus the idea that Kashuu and Muramasa met in the past in their sword forms was born. I have a thing for crack pairings. But Okitagumi is the established pairing here. There will be others in the future, though - not featuring Kashuu but Muramasa. If you look at my other TouMyu fic you can probably guess which one already. It's not hard.

I am taking some liberties with the Touken Ranbu universe. I do not know much about the games, most of what I know comes from the musicals and some from Hanamaru and Katsugeki.

1, 4, 9?

1) What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get? Hm... I don’t really get Koumyou/Ukoku. Koumyou is sort of my fandom blind spot, much like Kanan only one of them actually has more to offer than The Angst. 

4) Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP? Goku/Gojyo, Goku/Hakkai, and Hakkai/Sanzo. Like, I don’t mind the Ikkou in a GSF/relationship, but like Gojyo or Hakkai being romantically and monogamously with Goku just confuses me. And Hakkai and Sanzo work so well as friends, but I keep coming back to that moment in the Kami-sama arc that when Gojyo fucks off and suddenly without him around, Sanzo and Hakkai start to egg the shittiest parts of themselves out of each other. Like logically, I know that it’s also because they’re Pissed as Fuck at Gojyo, but that was the moment I went No. in my head. And I...honestly don’t know how popular they are because I search under ship names and complete when I trawl for fics.

9) Most disliked character(s)? Why? Um, okay, so understand that I cannot FUCKING stand characters who Exist to be Fridged. Like my utter annoyance at Kanan, Gojyo’s mom, and that FUCKING BIRD (I legitimately roll my eyes every time I see it in the anime, which is pretty terrible, I know, because it is honestly really sad) is a Thing. But, as they aren’t actually characters in their own right, I can only be so annoyed with them. (Much like Kougaji’s mom, who I’m pretty sure is Never Going to be Saved, Bro. Maybe concentrate on your bby sister not getting dead.) 

Which brings me to Koumyou. Hate him. Like even after I realized that there was more to his character than Sanzo’s father figure who died, I just... couldn’t bring myself to care. Burial happens, and suddenly he has character and motivations outside of being killed to give Sanzo Omega (my friend Rachel calls Koumyou ‘Sanzo Alpha’ and Ukoku ‘Sanzo Beta,’ so “our Sanzo” is Sanzo Omega) a Motivation and a Damage, and honestly? I am so invested in my irritation at his existence that I can’t bring myself to care. He’s still dead. I get that he’s a pretty fun dude in Ibun. Still. Dead. 

I am legitimately that petty with fictional characters at times. Koumyou suffers from the double whammy of starting as a Fridged guy and being connected to the member of the Ikkou that I like the least. (I love Sanzo, but someone has to be the least favorite.)

Saiyuki meme part 2

34) What character do you think is least like yourself?

~Probably Ukoku. I’m not a psychopath or sociopath looking to snuff out life and light. And he’s super cunning and manipulative. 

35) What is a shipping you’re not on board with? (Be respectful!)

~I pretty much ship nearly everything under the sun for the most part. Or can at least understand or respect a ship. I ship I wouldn’t really be on board with though would be Li Touten x Nataku. Or Dokugakuji’s mom x Doku/Gojyo. Just not my thing.

36 ) Which Saiyuki character do you think could easily adjust to modern times?

~I’d say nearly all the main cast. I think they’ve all been through so much & they’ve learned to get really good with adapting and rolling with the punches. But if I had to narrow it down, perhaps Goku. Followed closely by Gojyo. They seem the most easy going & quickly accepting & adaptable. Likewise, I think Kougaiji would be one of the ones who would struggle the most perhaps. 

37) What is your favorite quote?

~There’s A LOT of good ones. Seeing as I have the opposite of a photographic memory... I can’t remember what my fav would be. A really good, memorable one though is where Kou overcame Ukoku’s mind control & gave him the whole speech where he wont be controlled again & his friends helped him to the light. Idk, something to that effect. Maybe I’ll come back to this question later after I find the exact lines.

38) Do you binge read the entire series or read selected chapters?

~Usually when I binge read or binge watch, it’s from start to finish on the entire series. If I just want to research something or remember a specific thing, it’s selected chapters.

39) Are you more a fan of Gensomaden Saiyuki or Saiyuki Reload/Gunlock?

~With the anime, Gensomaden. With the manga, its definitely Reload. 

40) Your favorite character became a mythical beast. What would they be?

~This.... is a tough one. If I wanted to take the easy option, I’d say it would be Kougaiji and he’d totally be a dragon. Or if I wanted to be funny, saying Gojyo being a kappa. I could see Hakkai being the male form of a Dryad. But I think my favorite is Sanzo... and the only thing I can think of to liken him to is the Phoenix. Sanzo’s “like the sun” and Phoenix is a sun bird. Phoenix’s rise from the ashes and Sanzo got burned by Kou’s fire and still rose to his feet. 

41) If you HAD to choose a character to die, who would it be?

~Well, this doesn’t say -MAIN- character. I wish I could say Ukoku... that would spare everyone so much misery... but I like the psycho bastard. So...Gyokumen Koushu. Then maybe Kou would get his mom back & he could team up with Sanzo!

42) Would you rather: Have all characters die or Have only one survive

~The question is.... would it be like Goku? Have them forget & then be reunited with the reincarnations? On one hand, it would be nice to have one survive to carry on the memory of everyone who died. But....I feel like there’s something incredibly unfair & cruel about having only one survive... so I guess I’d rather them all die. 

43) If [character] got into a fight with [character] who would win?

~Lol its hard to do these ones when I’m just answering them myself. 

44) What does Gojyo’s marking look like to you?

~I answered this one already, basically, a tribal flame

45) If Sanzo became a demon, what kind of marking do you think he’d have?

~I kinda wanna say something like the youkai Suika. Something small & round on his forehead in place of the chakra. Or it would probably be somewhere more discrete like his back or upper arm, a red color instead of black...idk the shape/design.

46) If [character] died, what do you think they’d be reborn as?

~I think Zakuro would love to be reborn in the golden age (Elizabethanera) cuz that’s when theatre, music, poetry & literature flourished. Perhaps Kougaiji/Hazel in the Victorian age and Ukoku in the Edwardian era... I know that’s not what the questions asking, but it is interesting to think diff era’s you’d put them in. 

47) After the journey, what do you think [character] will be doing?

~Hmm... I’ll just stick with Gojyo for this one. Assuming he’s still alive after the journey. I think he’d stick with Hakkai. (grudingly)Helping out around the shop if Hakkai worked/owned a shop. I could see Gojyo maybe being a bar tender or an escort/host... or whatever those equivalents are in the Saiyuki era, or just keeps raking in money with his gambling while being domestic with Hakkai.

48) If [character] had a tumblr, what would they reblog?

~This one’s a fun question. I think if Gojyo had a tumblr, the majority would reflect the 3 things he likes most- women, booze, and smokes. Probably sprinkle in some selfies of himself being all sexy, cheesy pick up lines and puns, maybe some crude jokes, more scantily clad women, and gambling tips. Then there’s probably some stuff he’d reblog for the sake of Sanzo,Hakkai, and Goku if they had tumblr as well. Monkey posts to tease Goku, life hacks for Hakkai, & random stuff that would piss off Sanzo. Probably jokes about cranky old men or something. 

49) What is your favorite animated scene?

~umm.... idk... all of Gaiden?

50) [Character]; Boxers, briefs, or commando?

~I feel like Gojyo would have an occasion for all three. Briefs when he’s planning to get with a lady or impress. Boxers when he’s lounging with the boys. And sometimes commando, mainly when sleeping if he has his own room. 

51) What 3 or more tropes fits your favorite character?

~ummm.... running gag, ship tease, and funny moments. (gojyo)

52) What are 3 tropes that describe [character]?

~fiery redhead, the alcoholic, and jerk with a heart of gold (gojyo)

53) If Saiyuki got a 4th series, what would it be called?

~Well now that there is a 4th season coming out... Saiyuki Reload Blast XD (now we just need an Ibun OVA!!!)

54) If your favorite character could control an element, what would it be?

~Fav charater’s always been between Sanzo and Kougaiji... though recently I often wonder if it’s not Hazel now. I think Lightning suits Sanzo. Fire for Kou. And Ice for Hazel. Earth for Goku & Hakkai. Wind for Yaone.

55) Was there a character you used to love but no longer do?

~I dont think so actually. I think everyone I love I still do and everyone I hate I still do. 

56) What has been the saddest moment for you in the series?

~Yakumo’s death. Yakumo’s whole chapter arc.  And the end of Gaiden.

57) What is your favorite anime/manga genre?

~Psychological thriller/horror (but I also like romance & action & drama)

58) Name 5 other characters you like along with your fav Saiyuki character.

~Spike Spiegel, Axel, Seto Kaiba, Zelos Wilder, Alvin Svent, and Snow Villiers

59) Do you prefer subbed or dubbed anime?

~Dubbed. But most of the time subbed is 100 x’s better... obviously.

60) Did you watch the anime first or read the manga?

~Gensomaden anime came first.

61) Do you seek out spoilers or avoid at all cost?

~I avoid them at all cost, most of the time. Unless it’s something I’m not planning to watch or read.

62) Do you write fan fics or draw fan art? If so, link!

~I do, on both accounts. I don’t have any Saiyuki fanfics though. If anyone really want links, I’ll send them privately in IM’s. My Saiyuki fanart can all be found on my blog. Other fan art of diff fandoms is on DA. I only have a couple of completed fanfics on fanfiction.net... most of my work isn’t finished so that’s not really worth linking, I wouldn’t think.

63) What was the most pointless filler in the anime?

~I can’t really think of anything... maybe the sauna one where Goku thinks Sanzo turns into a demon. Or the kitty one. Don’t get me wrong, I loved both those episodes... but in regards to the plot, they don’t contribute a thing. 

64) How do you describe Saiyuki to a friend who has never heard of it?

~Four guys travel west to stop the resurrection of a demon lord. Um... there’s lots of humor and action. It’s amazing. It’s.... kinda gay without actually being gay.

65) If you RP what is your favorite thing to Roleplay?

~answered this one~

66) What is your favorite Saiyuki Opening or Ending for the animes?

~The opening for Gaiden is very gorgeous, perhaps that one <3

67) What’s something you think would improve the series?

~HAVING MORE MANGA TRANSLATED AND PUBLISHED HERE IN AMERICA! And bring back some minor characters, that’d be cool to see.

68) Who, in your opinion, has the most tragic backstory?

~Geez... that’s like comparing a life time of stomach issues to someone who has a life time of mental illness... both are equally tragic. If I HAD to pick.... Yakumo.... I’m just gonna go with Yakumo. Technically, it’s not really a backstory but what’s he was presently doing. Having such a kind, soft heart... wanting nothing more but to save, shelter, and raise youkai kids... and choosing to kill them when they go berserk, perhaps with the whole mentality of ‘kill a few to save the whole’. It’s so tragic. Other than that, I can’t choose 1 over the other for tragic back stories cuz everyone has it equally bad in some way. 

I guess I can say the tie would be between Gojyo, Sanzo, Hakkai, Goku, Dokugakuji, Hazel, and Nataku.

69) Who would be best at pleasing their lover?

~It kinda depends on what said lover wants most our of their partner and if it’s true love or a fling. If they both knew what they were doing, Goku & Kou would be very thorough, patient, and thoughtful lovers. Gojyo would be best at bringing the skill/pleasure in a pure sexual aspect. Hakkai’s difficult to pin down. He’d be gentle with the same qualities I listed for Gok/Kou.... but he’d have this wall up at the same time. Sanzo... just probably wouldn’t be the best, if he got intimate at all to begin with. Hazel’s so... antagonistic. I’ll just go with Gojyo or Dokugakuji. 

70) What do you think Saiyuki would be like if Kougaiji and co were the main protagonists? Do you think you’d still enjoy it? 

~A lot less humor and more dark because it would be more from the “villains” POV. Kou’s kinda angsty. I don’t think Saiyuki would be as well recieved and loved from Kougaiji’s & co’s pov... and there’s several characters we might have missed out on.... but I think it’s something I would still really enjoy. If its written by Kazuya Minekura, she’d make it amazing regardless. 

71) What minor character had a significant impact on the plot?

~I think that would have to be Hazel Grouse.

72) On a scale from 1 - 10, 1 being not much and 10 being too much, how much does Saiyuki Gaiden hurt you?

~TEN

73) What character is still a mystery to you?

~Perhaps Koumyou or Ukoku (maybe even Yaone in the sense that we kinda know next to nothing about her... that I can recall). But with Koumyou especially, both of them are just so complex & different than I am that they’re difficult for me to understand. 

74) What is the funniest moment in the series?

~It really says something about how much a perv I really am if the very first scene that pops into my mind after thinking about what my fav moment could be is.... Gojyo & Goku wrestling & arguing on the bed and that lady walks in & thinks they’re doing, or about to do, something naughty. Oddly, I Really like the scene where Gojyo mimics Sanzo too. 

75) Who is your favorite minor character?

~Hazel or Banri or Zenon ...... Yakumo & Zakuro are p great too

76) Which character has had the most growth?

~I think that would have to be Goku

77) Which character needs more development?

~hmmmm........Lirin maybe? 

[nighttimefjaeril]

My Houmei/Jyoan post should’ve included a little story time part where I talked about the first time I read this pairing and how it sealed the deal for me. Sadly I had to cut it out, otherwise it’d have been too long (or even longer than it already is). Well, the fics in question are “Flight of the Butterfly” by genkisakka and “All’s fair in love and cake” by Kirathaune. They’re amazing, I still re-read them to this day. They influenced my view on the pairing a lot, and for this I’ll be forever thankful. I recommend them to anyone that would be interested in seeing some examples of the dynamics I was talking about.

(I’m not tagging the authors ‘cause I’m shy but… if you read this, thank you. I know it was a requested pairing and not your own choice, but you both made it work so beautifully)

So, I decided to write another fic. It’s basically me poking fun at tropey RPF fanfics. It’s pretty much crack but I enjoyed writing it and I did put a disclaimer in the notes, but here it is again: I am not against x Readers! I just find RPF fanfiction really creepy and it’s funny to write about!

Saiyuki Ibun Fanfiction Masterlist (English)

Ibun fics obviously come in a smaller number compared to the main story's counterpart and are pretty easy to come by on AO3 under the tag "Saiyuki Ibun". However, I'm going to include some scattered ones I was able to find on other platforms too.

Because two pairings in particular seem to be more popular within the fandom, I'm going to divide the list in Houmei/Toudai - Koumyou/Goudai, Houmei/Jyoan and the rest will be Miscellaneous Pairings/Gen.

(Needless to say, the majority of these contain slash, so if that's not your thing reader discretion is advised :) )
