Geto Suguru never really planned for the future. Not in the way normal people did.
He wasn’t careless, not exactly—just realistic. Sorcerers didn’t get old. They didn’t settle down, didn’t retire, didn’t fade into something softer. They burned out or got snuffed out, whichever came first. It was the nature of things.
You used to think he was being dramatic when he said things like that.
“You sound like an old man,” you’d tease, lying next to him on the temple floor, staring at the ceiling beams above. The incense was still burning, curling in soft wisps of white. “You’re eighteen, Suguru.”
“Exactly,” he’d reply, tipping his head to look at you, something almost fond in his gaze. “Ancient.”
And maybe, back then, it was a joke. A stupid one. But even then, there was something in his voice, something that made you uneasy.
Like he was saying it not because he wanted to, but because he already knew.
Because he had already done the math.
-----
He never talked about the future the way other people did.
Gojo made plans—half-baked, ridiculous ones, but plans nonetheless. Even Shoko, for all her cynicism, would talk about things like next year and someday. But Geto Suguru?
When he spoke about the future, it was always vague. Uncertain. Like he was already counting himself out of it.
Not in a self-destructive way. Not in a woe is me kind of way. Just in the quiet, inevitable way that someone acknowledges gravity.
He never said, *When I’m old.*
He never said, *Someday, when I retire.*
He only ever said, *If I make it that far.*
And it wasn’t until later that you realized—he didn’t think he would.
-----
The first time you knew, really knew, you were seventeen.
The mission had been hell. You’d come back exhausted, blood-soaked, drained to the marrow. Your hands were still shaking from the aftermath when you found him sitting outside, barefoot in the grass, staring up at the sky like he was trying to find something there.
You sat next to him, close enough to feel the warmth of him, but not touching. Neither of you spoke for a long time. The cicadas screamed in the distance, the only sound in the stillness. Then, finally—
“I don’t think I’ll live long,” he said. Just like that. Flat. Matter-of-fact. Like he was telling you the weather.
You turned your head sharply. “Don’t say shit like that.”
“It’s true.” He didn’t even look at you, just kept staring at the stars. “It’s fine, though.”
“It’s not fine,” you snapped, the exhaustion making you sharp. “You talk like it’s already decided.”
He let out a quiet laugh. “Maybe it is.”
You wanted to be angry. Wanted to tell him he was being ridiculous, that he was stronger than this, that he wasn’t allowed to talk about his own life like it was already over.
But when you looked at him—really looked at him—you saw it.
He wasn’t afraid.
That was what scared you most.
-----
Years later, you thought back to that night.
When he left. When you realized you wouldn’t be able to follow. When you realized—maybe he was right. Maybe he wasn’t meant to live long. Maybe he had known, even then.
You wanted to believe it was a choice. That he had decided not to live, that he had chosen a path that would lead him to an early end. But deep down, you knew—
This world was never going to let him grow old.
It was never going to let him be anything but a tragedy waiting to happen.
And the worst part?
(He had made peace with that long before you ever did. )
---
The last time you saw him, it was raining.
He stood there, the same as always, looking at you like he was waiting for something. You could have said anything. You could have begged him to stay, or cursed him, or broken down right there in the street.
But all you said was—
“Did you ever really want to live, Suguru?”
He blinked, slow, like the question surprised him. Then, after a moment, he gave you a small, tired smile.
“I wanted to,” he said, quiet.
“For a little while.”
And then he walked away.

You know what gets me? The irony of it all. Geto probably knew—deep down, in that quiet, resigned way of his—that he was never going to live long. And Gojo? Well, he’s Gojo Satoru. The strongest. The untouchable. The one who’ll probably live to a hundred just because no one’s capable of killing him.
And what really messes with me is that they both made peace with it.
Geto never planned for a future because he didn’t think he’d have one. And Gojo—he made peace with having one. With outliving everything and everyone. With the idea that nothing in this world is permanent, that everything is just an illustration on water, fading the moment you reach for it. It’s almost in a way it’s kind of like the Buddhist idea of impermanence—the acceptance that nothing lasts, so you might as well let go before it gets taken from you.
But the difference is, Geto let go by leaving. And Gojo lets go by staying.
Which is insane, when you think about it. Gojo, who loves so much and so loudly, is the one who’s already accepted loss as a fundamental fact of life. While Geto, who acted like he could leave things behind, was never truly able to.
--
I don’t know. It’s tragic in a way that feels too real. But what do you think? Do you read them differently? Because I’d love to hear your take on this.
✨ Bye and take care, Hope you all have a good day ✨
Gojo Satoru would fight a god.
Not out of spite. Not for revenge. Not because he had something to prove.
He’d do it because if something stronger than him existed, he’d have no choice but to challenge it. Not for the thrill—though he’d pretend that’s all it was. Not for the spectacle—though he’d make sure it was a damn good show. No, he’d fight because if there was something out there more powerful than him, then maybe—just maybe—he wasn't alone.
And that would be a relief, wouldn’t it?
-----
You don’t think about it much at first, not until one night when the two of you are stretched out beneath the stars, watching the world spin on without you.
“If you met a god,” you murmur, voice barely above a whisper, “what would you do?”
Gojo doesn’t even pause. “Kick their ass.”
You huff a laugh, half-asleep. “That’s sacrilegious.”
“Nah,” he says, grinning. “Sacrilegious is letting them think they’re untouchable.”
You turn to him, raising a brow. “What makes you think they aren’t?”
And that’s when you see it—just for a second. The way something flickers behind his glasses, sharp and searching. The way he tilts his head, considering, before he says, “What even is a god?”
“A god.” He gestures vaguely. “What does that even mean? Something more powerful than us? Something beyond human understanding?”
You nod. “Pretty much.”
He hums, closing his eyes like he’s weighing the thought in his mind. “So what’s the difference between them and me?”
And that—that—makes you stop.
Because the thing is, Gojo is untouchable.
You blink. “What?”
Because the thing is, Gojo is untouchable. He is unknowable. He walks through the world like it was made for him, like nothing could ever truly reach him, and most of the time—nothing does.
When Gojo Satoru moves, the universe rearranges itself to accommodate him.
It’s not arrogance. It’s not even confidence. It’s just fact.
And that’s terrifying.
-----
“You’re not a god,” you tell him, but the words feel weak the moment they leave your mouth.
“Maybe not,” he says easily.“But what if I was?”
You shiver. Not because of the question itself, but because you don’t know what would be worse:
A world where Gojo Satoru was a god, or a world where he wasn’t.
Because if he was, then everything was exactly as it should be. The balance of power, the way the world turned, the weight he carried alone—all of it was simply the natural order of things.
But if he wasn’t—if he was just a man, just another human among billions—then all of it was unfair.
Then the weight was too heavy. The world was too cruel. The burden he carried was never meant for one person, and yet, he had been given it anyway.
You think, that’s why he’d fight a god.
Not to prove his strength. Not to claim some divine throne.
But to look them in the eye and demand to know why.
Why him?
Why this life?
Why was he born into a world that could never hold him, onto a path he could never stray from, into a role that would only ever leave him alone at the end of it?
“Would you win?” you ask, voice softer now.
Gojo exhales, stretching his arms behind his head. “Dunno,” he says. “Guess there’s only one way to find out.”
But he’s lying.
Because he already knows the answer.
Because he’s been fighting gods his whole life. The gods of fate, of destiny, of inevitability. The gods who decide who lives and who dies, who gets to stay and who gets ripped away. The gods who made him the strongest, and then cursed him to bear that title alone.
And the worst part?
He’s been winning.
Every. Single. Time.
You watch him, the way he stares up at the sky, expression unreadable, like he’s waiting for something. A sign. A challenge. A reason.
“Satoru,” you say, barely above a whisper.
He turns his head toward you, a slow, lazy motion, and grins. “Yeah?”
You want to say something. Want to tell him that he doesn’t have to fight anymore, that he doesn’t have to keep proving himself, that you see him, even if the rest of the world never will.
But you don’t.
Because you know he wouldn’t believe you.
So instead, you shift closer, just enough for your shoulder to brush his, just enough to remind him that he isn’t as untouchable as he thinks.
And for the first time that night, he stops looking for a god to fight.
-----
Greetings, Dreamers and Readers 🌸✨
Okay, listen. I know how scandalous and borderline blasphemous this sounds, but honestly? If Gojo Satoru ever met a god, I genuinely think he’d try to throw hands. Not out of arrogance (okay, maybe a little), but because, deep down, he’s got questions. Real, human, aching questions. The kind that keep you up at night, staring at the ceiling, wondering why you exist the way you do.
Like—why him? Why this? Why was he born so strong that he can’t ever live normally? And if there is some all-powerful being pulling the strings, how does he get up there and demand some damn answers?
Honestly, imagine being so powerful that you could challenge the gods themselves. That’s some Greek mythology-level tragedy right there. Like, Gojo is basically Achilles if Achilles had Infinity and trauma instead of a weak ankle.
Anyway, what’s your take on this? Would Gojo actually win, or would he finally meet something bigger than him? Drop your thoughts in the comments—I’m way too invested in this theory now.
✨ Bye and take care, Hope you all have a good day ✨
Nanami Kento thought he understood what freedom was.
It wasn’t some grand concept, not to him. It wasn’t rebellion or escape or even peace. It was something quieter, simpler. It was the absence of exhaustion, the absence of endless blood and death. It was the choice to walk away from a world that took and took and took until there was nothing left.
So when he saw his first office job, he thought—maybe this is it.
Maybe this is what it looks like.
No more curses. No more blood. No more endless nights wondering if tomorrow would be his last. Just a desk, a paycheck, and a life that belonged only to him.
It seemed Clean. Orderly. Safe.
He was wrong, of course.
But at the time, it was the only thing that made sense.
-----
He never had the illusion that he was a hero.
Gojo could talk about justice, about duty, about responsibility, but Nanami? Nanami knew better. He knew that none of it mattered, that the work they did wasn’t noble or righteous. It was just survival. Just a job that needed to be done.
And he hated it. He hated the way it made him feel, the way it carved pieces out of him. He hated the way his hands never felt clean, no matter how many times he washed them.
But the most of all, he hated was how it was all expected.
How no one ever really questioned it.
How this was just the way things were.
So when he looked at that first office building, at the neatly pressed suits and the fluorescent lights and the steady, predictable rhythm of it all—he thought, This is freedom.
Because wasn’t that what freedom was? The ability to walk away? The ability to choose something else?
He thought so.
For a while, he really did.
-----
The thing they don’t tell you about freedom is that it’s not the same as peace.
The office was quiet, yes. Predictable, yes. But it was also empty.
There was no blood, no curses, no constant fight for survival. But there was also no meaning. No purpose. Just an endless series of reports and meetings and numbers that meant nothing.
And at first, he told himself that was fine. That this was better. That this was what he chose.
But some nights, he’d wake up gasping, hands clenched, body tense, as if expecting a fight that never came.
Some nights, he’d find himself staring at his reflection in the office bathroom mirror, wondering why he felt like a ghost in his own life.
Some nights, he’d wonder if he had made a mistake.
-----
The day he walked away from the office was quiet.
No dramatic goodbyes. No second thoughts. Just the simple realization that this wasn’t freedom either. That maybe freedom didn’t exist at all.
But if he had to choose—between an empty life and a painful one—he’d at least choose something that meant something.
And so, he went back.
Back to the blood, the exhaustion, the endless cycle of fighting for a world that would never change.
Because maybe it didn’t matter what he wanted.
Maybe it never did.
-----
Nanami Kento never believed in freedom. Not really.
But when he died, he thought—at least I chose this.
-----
Greetings, Dreamers and Readers ✨🌸
My sweet, sad bbg Kento… I love him so much it actually makes me angry. Like, imagine being Nanami Kento. You do everything right. You work hard. You try to be practical. You just want a simple, decent life. And what does the world give you in return? Absolutely nothing. No peace, no freedom, not even the illusion of rest. He carried all that weight, all that exhaustion, and for what? For a world that chewed him up and spat him out like he was nothing.
To the people who hate Nanami… meet me in the parking lot. We gotta fight. Right now.
Honestly, I’ll probably write an AU one-shot where he actually gets to retire in Malaysia, eating all the good food his heart desires, because he deserves that. I don’t care what canon says. My man should have been sipping on some tropical drink, watching the sunset, alive.
---
Anyway, hope you liked the one-shot! Feel free to comment and share your thoughts—I’d love for some Nanami worshipers to come together and mourn this man properly.
✨ Bye and take care, Hope you all have a good day ✨
~A Hollow God and His Quiet Devotion~
Human mind is the scariest thing of all.
He’s known this for a while.
There’s something about the way a person can laugh while breaking, smile while suffering, pretend while decaying. It’s horrifying, really. The mind’s ability to rationalize its own undoing. To keep existing even when everything inside it is burning down.
Gojo Satoru is no exception
He is the strongest. The untouchable. A divine existence trapped in human skin. A god, they say, though he would laugh at the irony of that title. Because what kind of god is constantly running from his own mind?
He wears a mask, not a literal one—though the blindfold, the sunglasses, the casual grins serve their purpose—but a mask made of distraction. A personality so large it drowns out anything real. Gojo is insufferable, overwhelming, a force of nature that never stops moving because if he does, he might have to listen to himself.
And yet, here, now—alone, in the quiet of his apartment, with you—he is something else entirely
Not a god. Not a teacher. Not a man with the weight of the world on his back.
Just Satoru
-----
The first time you noticed the difference, you almost didn't believe it.
Gojo is affectionate in a way that makes people uncomfortable. He leans too close, speaks too loudly, touches too freely. His love is an inconvenience, a joke, a spectacle.
But in private, it's different.
He doesn’t tell you he loves you. He doesn’t have to
You see it in the way he waits for you to enter a room before he does—an instinctual need to ensure your safety before his own. The way he lets his head drop against your shoulder like he’s finally found something solid enough to rest on. The way his fingers hesitate at your wrist before sliding down to lace between yours, like he still can’t believe he’s allowed this
Gojo Satoru, the strongest man alive, loves you in secret.
Not because he’s ashamed. Not because he doesn’t want the world to know.
But because love—true, real, terrifying love—is something he doesn’t know how to perform.
-----
"You’re quiet today," you say, lying beside him.
The lights are dim, the city hum outside muted by distance. His apartment is too big for one person, but not quite big enough to contain everything he refuses to say.
"Mm," he hums in response, gaze fixed on the ceiling.
"You’re never quiet."
A beat.
Then, a breath of a laugh. "You say that like it's a bad thing."
"It’s not bad," you say, shifting closer, feeling the warmth of his body through the thin fabric of his shirt. "Just… different."
He doesn’t answer right away. His fingers play with the hem of your sleeve, like a nervous habit, like he needs something to anchor him.
"Satoru," you press, softer this time.
He finally looks at you. No blindfold, no glasses. Just bare, unguarded eyes—the kind of blue that makes the ocean look dull in comparison.
"I don’t have to be loud with you," he says, like it’s the simplest thing in the world.
And you understand.
Gojo Satoru exists too loudly, too overwhelmingly, because that’s what the world expects from him. But with you, he doesn’t have to be anything. He can just exist.
No expectations. No performances.
Just silence, and the steady rhythm of your breathing beside him.
-----
Gojo does not know how to need people.
He has spent years pretending otherwise—being the center of attention, the life of the party, the one everyone looks at but no one truly sees.
And yet, in the moments that matter, he is always alone.
He was alone when Geto left.
Alone when he cradled Yuuji’s lifeless body.
Alone when he stood at the top of the world and realized there was no one there with him.
So when he lets himself rest against you, when he presses his forehead to your shoulder and lets out a sigh so deep it shakes something inside of him—he isn’t sure what he’s doing.
Is this what it means to trust someone? To be seen?
He thinks it might be.
And that scares him more than anything else. Because if he lets himself have this—have you—what happens when he loses it?
What happens when he loves you so much it becomes a weakness?
What happens when the world, cruel as it is, takes you away
(He doesn’t know. And he doesn’t want to know.)
So instead, he holds you a little tighter.
As if, for once, he can keep something.
As if, for once, he won’t be left behind.
-----
"You’re thinking too hard," you murmur, running your fingers through his hair.
He huffs, burying his face against your neck. "Maybe I just like your neck."
"Sure, Satoru."
A beat.
A laugh. And then, quieter—"You’re not going anywhere, right?"
The question catches you off guard.
You pull back slightly, just enough to see his face. There’s a lazy smirk there, but his eyes—God, his eyes—betray him.
"I’m not going anywhere," you say, with the kind of certainty he has never allowed himself to believe in.
He watches you for a moment longer, like he’s memorizing your face, like he’s searching for something—some proof that you’re real, that you mean it.
Then, with a sigh that sounds almost like relief, he lets his weight press fully against you.
Gojo Satoru does not pray.
But in that moment, he closes his eyes, exhales, and hopes—hopes that, just this once, the world will be kind.
That, just this once, he won’t have to be strong.
That, just this once, he won’t have to be alone.
And with your heartbeat steady beneath his palm, he almost believes it.
Almost.
-----
Human mind is the scariest thing of all.
Because it can trick you into thinking you’re untouchable.
Because it can make you believe that love is a weakness.
Because it can convince you that no matter how tightly you hold on, you will always end up alone.
But as Gojo Satoru drifts to sleep, his hand tangled with yours, he wonders—just for a moment—if, maybe, he was wrong.
They send you in after the damage is already done.
You’re not a hero. You’re what comes after.
The body bag. The Suture. The ghost that cleans up after gods.
You were trained to fix what can’t be fixed.
To close wounds that were never meant to be opened.
To make dying quieter.
And that’s when he noticed you.
Not because you were brave.
Not because you were powerful.
But because you never flinched.
Even when he stood over you, soaked in someone else’s blood, smiling like he was born to ruin.
You didn’t look away.
That’s what got under his skin.
That’s what kept him coming back.
-----
You didn’t speak to him with reverence. You spoke to him like someone who'd seen too much to be impressed anymore.
“Move,” you said once, knee-deep in what used to be someone’s liver. “Unless you’re going to help.”
He tilted his head like a dog hearing thunder.
“You’re awfully calm for someone standing in a massacre.”
“It’s Tuesday,” you said.
-----
You were the kind of person the world forgets until it needs you.
Invisible until someone starts bleeding.
And maybe that’s what made him stay.
You never looked at him like he was legend or apocalypse. You looked at him like he was inconvenient.
That kind of irreverence should have made him crush you.
Instead, he lingered.
-----
The first time he watched you lose someone, you didn’t cry.
You didn’t scream. You didn’t pray.
You just pressed your hand to the boy’s cooling chest and whispered, “I’m sorry.”
Not to the gods.
To him.
He saw the way your shoulders locked, the way you didn’t breathe for a full minute. Like maybe if you didn’t move, you wouldn’t feel it.
You didn’t notice him watching.
He didn’t speak.
But later, you found the curse responsible strung from a tree, head twisted the wrong way.
It had taken you three hours to get there. Sukuna must’ve gotten there in two.
-----
You weren’t kind to him. That’s not what this is.
You were honest.
He once asked, casually, why you didn’t run like the others.
“Because I’ve spent my whole life cleaning up after men who think violence is the only language worth speaking.”
“You think I’m just another man?” he said, voice sharp.
“No,” you replied. “I think you used to be.”
-----
And that haunted him.
Because he’d burned down whole cities just to forget that—
-----
The first time he touched you, you were bandaging his side. A jagged gash from something that didn’t know better.
You didn’t ask why he didn’t heal it himself.
He didn’t ask why your hands shook a little.
But when your knuckles brushed his ribs, he stilled.
Not because it hurt.
Because it didn’t.
And that scared him more.
You didn’t make him human.
You reminded him he still was.
That was worse.
-----
He started showing up more. Missions you weren’t supposed to survive. Places no one should be. You’d find him in the aftermath, leaning against rubble, watching you with that same expressionless violence in his gaze.
Sometimes he asked questions.
“Do you believe in saving people?”
“Not anymore.”
“Why still try?”
“Because someone has to.”
“You always do things that don’t work?”
“I stayed talking to you, didn’t I?”
He laughed. It sounded like breaking glass.
-----
It was never romantic.
But God, it was intimate.
The kind of intimacy that doesn’t look like love.
It looks like two people who can’t lie to each other anymore.
-----
You started dreaming about him.
Not in soft ways.
In recognition ways.
His voice in the dark. His blood on your hands.
Your name in his mouth like a secret he hates knowing.
It wasn’t love.
It was something older.
Like grief. Like guilt. Like home.
-----
One night, you asked him something you’d never dared to ask anyone.
“Do you think people like us get better?”
He didn’t answer for a long time.
“No,” he said eventually. “But sometimes we get understood.”
You nodded.
You didn’t speak again for hours.
He didn’t leave.
-----
You told yourself it wasn’t connection. Just mutual ruin. Two broken things orbiting the same grave.
But then you got hurt. Badly.
And he lost his mind.
Not loudly. Not with roars.
Just with silence.
The kind that feels like a closing door—
When you woke up in a makeshift shelter, your wounds stitched with unnatural precision, he was already gone.
But outside the door, you saw what he left:
A trail of bodies. Eyes gouged. Faces melted. Blood spelling out a name.
Yours.
-----
You didn’t thank him.
You never did.
But the next time he appeared beside you, you didn’t ask why.
You just said, “You’re late.”
And he replied, “You’re alive.”
-----
You don’t belong together. You know this. You knew it from the start.
He is the myth that devours the world.
And you? You’re the woman who keeps trying to tape it back together.
But sometimes he sits close enough for your knees to touch, and doesn’t flinch.
Sometimes you reach for the same gauze at the same time, and your fingers linger.
Sometimes, you both exist in the same silence.
And it feels like the closest either of you has ever come to peace.
-----
He once told you that your eyes made him feel guilty.
You said, “Good.”
-----
You never tell him you love him.
But once, while half-conscious, he whispered:
“You’re the only thing I’ve ever seen that wasn’t ugly.”
You never bring it up again.
But you remember.
-----
You won’t survive this.
He might.
But not you.
And he knows it.
And that’s the tragedy.
Because for the first time in his life, he doesn’t want to win.
He wants to keep.
And the world doesn’t let men like him keep people like you.
---
But for now—
You sit in the rubble.
He watches you patch another dying sorcerer together with trembling hands and exhausted breath.
And he thinks:
Your violence reminded me of home.
But your silence reminded me of being known.
And he hates you for it.
And he keeps coming back anyway.
-----
How the Mighty Fall :(Quietly)
Gojo Satoru met her on a day so ordinary, he almost didn’t notice her.
Almost.
She was standing by a cracked vending machine outside a jujutsu conference hall, jamming the return button like it had personally insulted her.
Her uniform was rumpled, sleeves half-rolled, phone balanced on her shoulder as she muttered into it.
When she hung up, she let the phone fall into her pocket without ceremony, kicked the vending machine once (precisely, as if she’d calculated it), and grabbed the stubborn can of coffee that tumbled out.
When their eyes met, she gave him the same look she might’ve given a mildly interesting cloud.
He wasn’t used to that.
Gojo Satoru was used to stares that held awe, fear, lust, envy.
He wasn’t used to being dismissed.
He told himself he didn’t care.
(Later, he would realize that was the first lie.)
-----
Inside, introductions were made. "Gojo Satoru," the principal said, almost with a bow. "The strongest."
He flashed his trademark smile. The room tensed the way rooms always did around him — shifting in awe, or jealousy, or terror.
Except for her.
She glanced up from her can of coffee, blinked slowly, and said, "Congratulations," in a tone so dry it might’ve been sarcasm or exhaustion or both.
Gojo actually missed a step.
It was like tripping on a stair you hadn’t noticed.
Ridiculous. Forgettable.
Except the body remembers how it fell.
And the pride remembers harder.
-----
He found out her name later — a relic name from a once-great family.
Fallen into disgrace. Neutral.
Neutral in a world where neutrality was treason.
She hadn't come here for prestige. Or power.
She hadn't come to heal the broken system or tear it down.
She had come because, somehow, life had shoved her into it, and she hadn't found a way to shove back.
There was something about her that infuriated him.
The way she didn't try.
The way she didn’t look at him like a miracle or a weapon or a god.
He tried, subtly at first, to impress her.
(The strongman tricks. The lazy jokes. The almost-accidental flashes of power.)
She sipped her bitter coffee and said things like:
"You're flashy. That’s not the same as important."
Or worse:
"Sometimes I think the world doesn't want saving. It just wants witnesses."
He laughed it off, of course.
Loudly. Carelessly.
(And hated how much he thought about it later.)
-----
One night, after a mission gone sideways, they ended up on the same train platform.
She sat two benches down, damp with rain, bleeding slightly from a cut on her forehead.
She looked small, but not fragile. Just very, very tired.
He sat beside her without asking.
After a long silence, she said, "You don't have to sit here."
"I know," he said. "But maybe I want to."
She gave a dry, almost-smile. "Your charity is overwhelming."
Gojo tilted his head back and stared up at the grey sky, feeling the ache of bruises under his jacket, the throb of exhaustion deep in his bones.
"You ever think," he said, "that saving people is worth it even if it’s selfish?"
She didn’t answer for a long time.
When she did, her voice was very soft:
"Wanting to be needed isn’t the same as being good."
The train rattled by. Neither of them moved.
He didn’t know how to answer her.
He didn’t know how to stop wanting her to believe in him.
He didn’t know when wanting her belief started to feel more important than winning.
-----
Weeks passed.
Gojo Satoru, who had outrun every emotion in his life by being faster, louder, brighter,
found himself slowing down around her.
Not because she asked him to.
But because she didn't even notice when he sped up.
Because around her, there was nothing to prove.
No war to win. No audience to perform for.
Just the terrifying idea that maybe being "The Strongest" meant nothing if nobody was watching.
And maybe that was okay.
Or maybe it wasn't.
He wasn’t sure which scared him more.
-----
The fight, when it happened, was stupid.
A cursed spirit too small for his attention, too slippery to ignore.
She fought it first, knives flashing, blood wetting her sleeves.
She fought like someone who didn’t expect to survive, but would be damned if she made it easy for death.
When he stepped in — easy, graceful, efficient — she didn’t even thank him.
Just leaned against a wall, breathing hard, looking annoyed more than anything else.
"You didn't have to," she said.
"I wanted to," he said, before he could stop himself.
She wiped blood from her mouth and smiled, thin and crooked.
"Of course you did."
As if kindness was another form of violence.
As if saving her only proved her point.
-----
They sat on the curb afterward, side by side, rain seeping into their clothes.
He pulled down his blindfold, let his eyes roam the ruined street, the broken lamplight.
Everything was grey and wet and stupidly, achingly beautiful.
"You know," she said, conversational,
"all stars burn out."
He looked at her. Really looked at her.
Not as a mission.
Not as a critic.
Not as a fantasy.
Just — a tired girl, soaked in rainwater and blood, laughing at how the universe devours everything eventually.
"Maybe," he said, "some are just slow enough to light the way for a while."
She didn't respond.
Maybe she didn’t believe him.
Maybe she didn't need to.
Maybe it was enough that he believed it for both of them, for once.
-----
He would never tell her that she ruined him a little.
That she made him gentler, angrier, sadder, more human.
That she made the invincible feel a little more mortal.
That she made the strongest sorcerer alive wonder what strength was even for.
He would never tell her.
Because she already knew.
Because she didn’t care.
And that, somehow, was the most beautiful thing about her.
-----
Sukuna’s hands were never meant to be touched.
They were carved by power, molded for violence. Fingers meant for destruction, palms that know only the heat of blood, the crack of bone, the sharpness of steel.
And yet, they are scarred.
Not from battle—no one has ever been strong enough to leave a lasting wound on him—but from himself. From the weight of his own strength, from the countless times he has torn himself apart and stitched himself back together with sheer will alone.
His body is a temple built and rebuilt from ruin.
And his hands are the proof of it.
-----
The scars are strange things. Some thin as hairline cracks, others jagged, deep—memories of a power so vast it could not be contained, even within his own skin. He has felt his bones fracture under the pressure of it, muscles split, skin burned away, only to heal again, over and over, as if his body has long accepted that it will never truly be whole.
He doesn’t think about it. There’s no point.
It is what it is.
And yet—sometimes, when the world is quiet, when his hands are still, he can feel it. The ghosts of old wounds, the echoes of destruction.
The knowledge that his body is both indestructible and deeply, deeply broken.
-----
He doesn’t know when you first noticed.
Perhaps it was the way his fingers curled absentmindedly when he wasn’t using them. Perhaps it was the way he flexed them, as if reminding himself they were still there. Or maybe it was the way they traced over things—absent, almost thoughtful—when he thought no one was watching.
Whatever it was, you had noticed. And that was a problem.
Because people who noticed things about him usually didn’t live long.
And yet, there you were.
Watching. Thinking. Understanding something he did not want to be understood.
One night, as his fingers drummed idly against his knee, your gaze flickered down to his hands. The movement was so slight he almost didn’t catch it.
"Does it hurt?" you asked.
He had half a mind to ignore you. To dismiss it with a sneer, to tell you that pain was beneath him. But something about the way you said it—calm, certain, like you already knew the answer—made him pause.
And for just a moment, his hands stilled.
Then he laughed. Low, sharp, edged with something unreadable.
"You think a god suffers from something so trivial?"
But you didn’t back down.
"Gods suffer more than anyone, don’t they?"
And he should have struck you down for that. Should have reminded you of what he was, of what you were, and of how your words were nothing but fleeting air against the weight of his existence.
But he didn’t.
Instead, his fingers twitched.
And in that moment—so small, so insignificant he almost didn’t notice it himself—his hands curled, just slightly, as if remembering something they were not supposed to.
-----
Sukuna does not think about his hands.
Not in the way you do, with your quiet observations, your thoughtful little remarks.
But sometimes, when your gaze lingers on them—when your fingers brush against his in passing, when your touch lingers for just a second too long—he thinks about what they would have been in another life.
If they would have held instead of taken.
If they would have been human.
And then he laughs, because the thought is absurd. Because that life never existed, and never will.
But sometimes, when the world is quiet, when he lets his hands rest against you without thinking—when they do not tighten, do not wound, do not take—they do not feel like weapons.
If they would have built instead of destroyed.
They feel like hands.
And that is the cruelest trick of all.

Greetings, Dreamers and Readers ✨🌸
Here I am—stupid little me—trying to make this walking catastrophe feel a little human again. Like that’s ever going to work.
If Sukuna knew I was sitting here, dissecting his hands like some tragic metaphor, he’d kill me before I even got to my second sentence. No hesitation. Just a flick of his fingers, a scoff, maybe an "Tch. Foolish human," and then—nothing. I’d be gone. Reduced to a smear on the ground, utterly irrelevant to a god-king who has never needed to justify a single thing he’s done.
But I don’t know. I keep coming back to it. His hands—scarred, precise, brutal—feel like they tell a story he has no interest in acknowledging. They’ve taken everything, ruined everything, but they’ve also rebuilt him over and over again. He’s been unmade by his own power more times than anyone else ever could, and yet, here he is. Still standing. Still undefeated. And if there’s one thing Sukuna hates, it’s the idea of anything having power over him.
So what does that mean for the hands that have both created him and destroyed him?
---
Anyway, those are just my thoughts. Maybe I’m reading too much into it. Maybe I should shut up before Sukuna manifests just to personally smite me. But hey, feel free to comment and share your thoughts—I’d love to hear what you think. And if you’ve got headcanons, send them my way. I might try writing them too.
Until then, I’ll just be here, waiting for the inevitable divine wrath.
✨ Bye and take care, hope you all have a good day ✨
Levi drinks his tea like Kuchel is watching.
Like someone, somewhere, will be disappointed if he rushes it. If he forgets to do it right. The first time you notice it, you think it’s just another one of his quirks—like the way he folds his cravat with military precision or the way he flicks his wrist when cleaning blood off his blade, like it’s not even worth a second thought.
But then you realize it’s something else entirely. A ritual. A quiet, fragile thing, stubbornly existing in a world that never stops breaking.
-----
You don’t ask him about it. Not at first. You just watch.
He boils the water himself. Even though there are lower-ranked soldiers who could do it, even though he has more important things to do. He lets it sit for exactly the right amount of time before pouring, never a second more, never a second less. And when he drinks it, it’s with the kind of patience he never seems to have for anything else. Like it’s the only thing keeping him tethered to the present moment.
It isn’t until months later, when you find yourself in his quarters during another sleepless night, that you finally ask.
“Do you actually like tea, or is this just another one of your obsessive habits?”
He doesn’t look up from his cup. Just takes a slow sip, the steam curling against his face like something alive. “Tch. What kind of stupid question is that?”
You shrug. “You treat it like a religion.”
A beat of silence. He sets the cup down carefully, like it’s something breakable. When he finally speaks, his voice is quieter than you expect. “It’s not about the tea.”
You should have known that already. With Levi, nothing is ever about what it seems.
You don’t press him, but after that, you start drinking tea with him. Sometimes you talk. Sometimes you don’t. But there’s a kind of understanding in the silence, in the way the both of you sit there, letting the world exist around you without demanding anything in return.
-----
One night, after a long mission that left more bodies than survivors, you’re sitting across from him when he finally says it.
“My mother used to drink tea.”
You almost miss it. The words are quiet, as if they might disintegrate if he speaks them too loudly. You wait, letting him decide if he wants to continue. He does.
“She never had much, but she’d always make time for it. Said it made her feel… I don’t know. Like a person.”
You think of the stories you’ve heard. The brothels, the underground, the kind of life that doesn’t allow softness. And yet, she had this. A small rebellion against the world, steeped in hot water and patience.
Levi exhales sharply, like he hates that he’s saying any of this. “It’s stupid.”
“It’s not,” you say immediately, because it isn’t. And he must know that, somewhere deep down, or he wouldn’t be holding onto it so tightly.
He doesn’t say anything, but he pours you another cup. You take it, letting the warmth seep into your fingers.
In the months that follow, you start noticing it more. The way Levi treats the ritual with the same respect he gives to his blades. The way his hands are always steady, no matter how many deaths he’s carried that day.
The way he closes his eyes after the first sip, like he’s remembering something he refuses to forget.
-----
One night, when the weight of existence feels unbearable, you find yourself saying, “Tell me about her.”
Levi doesn’t look at you, but something in his posture shifts. “She was too good for this world.”
You nod.
Wait.
“She had this way of looking at people. Like she already knew how much they were going to hurt her, but she still wanted to see the best in them.” A humorless chuckle. “Fucking Foolish.”
“Sounds familiar.”
He shoots you a look, but you just sip your tea, unbothered. He doesn’t argue.
There’s a long pause, and then, softer,“ She deserved more."
You wonder if he means himself, if he thinks he wasn’t enough. You wonder how long he’s been carrying that with him, how many times he’s tried to outrun the ghost of a woman who gave him everything and got nothing in return.
You set your cup down, leaning forward slightly. “She’d be proud of you, you know.”
He tenses. Like he wants to reject the thought outright. Like he can’t allow himself to believe it. But he doesn’t tell you you’re wrong.
The tea cools between you, but neither of you move. The world outside keeps turning, keeps bleeding, keeps taking. But in this moment, at least, Levi lets himself exist in the quiet. Lets himself have this.
Like Kuchel is watching.
Like she never really left.

Greetings, Dreamers and Readers 🌸✨
I’ve always found comfort in the smallest things, much like Levi does with his tea. For me, it’s the little tokens from my mother. I still use her hair clutch sometimes—it's not just an accessory, it’s a way to feel close to her again. I also keep her old metal pocket makeup mirror, not just because it’s practical, but because when I look into it, I see her, looking back at me through the reflection. It’s almost as if she’s still here, in the way I inherited my face from her, in the way her eyes shine through mine.
I think that’s the beauty of Levi’s ritual. It's not just about the tea, it’s about finding a way to keep the ones we’ve lost alive within us, through the smallest, most personal acts. I hope you feel that same quiet comfort in reading this, like you can find a moment of peace amidst the chaos, even if just for a little while.

If any of you have had experiences with loved ones who’ve passed, I’d love for this space to be a safe haven. Sometimes it’s hard to speak the words aloud, but here, you can share them without judgment. Let’s make the comments a place where we can remember, heal, and connect. You’re never alone in this.
✨ Bye and take care, Hope you all have a good day ✨
Sukuna does not linger in front of mirrors.
It is not because he fears what he sees. Fear is for lesser things—mortals who cower before their own shadows, kings who wake in cold sweat at the thought of losing their crowns. He is not them. He is not afraid.
But he does not look for long.
Because there was a time when his face was different. A time before he had four eyes and a mouth that split his body like a curse.
A time before he became something whispered about in the dark.
And though he does not regret it, there are moments—quiet, fleeting—where he wonders.
What would he have been if he had chosen differently? Would he still be feared?
Or would he simply be forgotten?
---
Once, long ago, he had a face that belonged to a man.
He remembers it only in fragments. A glimpse in the still water of a river. The shadow of it in dreams that do not belong to him. A sensation—muscles stretching over bone in a way that no longer feels familiar.
It is a strange thing, to forget your own features. To remember only the weight of them, the absence of them, rather than the thing itself.
But that is what he is now. A body made and unmade by his own hands. A temple built from ruin.
And temples are not meant to be beautiful. They are meant to be worshiped.
---
There are no mirrors in the places Sukuna calls his own.
Not because he cannot bear to see himself—no, that would be too human, too weak—but because he has no need for them. He does not need a reflection to know what he is. He can see it in the way people look at him. In the way they refuse to meet his gaze, as if to do so would invite death.
He is written across history in the blood of the fallen. That is proof enough of his existence.
And yet.
And yet, sometimes, he catches himself in the polished steel of a blade, in the dark glass of a window, in the eyes of those who do not yet understand what they are looking at.
And for just a moment, he sees not what he is, but what he was.
Not the King of Curses. Not the monster.
Just a man.
---
"You look like you’ve seen a ghost," you say one day, and he nearly laughs.
Because he has.
Because in every reflection, in every ripple of water, there is something half-familiar staring back.
The remnants of a boy who was born in blood and grew into something worse.
The bones of a man who once might have been kind, if kindness had ever been an option.
The shadow of someone he no longer recognizes.
And isn’t that the funny part?
He has spent centuries carving his name into the world, forcing people to remember him, fear him, and yet—
He is the only one who cannot remember himself.
---
Sukuna tilts his head, studying his reflection with a faint, unreadable expression. He watches the way his second mouth curls into a sneer of its own accord. The way his extra eyes blink a fraction too slow, out of sync with the rest of him.
It is a face made for terror. A thing meant to be seen and feared, not understood.
And still—there is something missing.
Not regret. Never regret.
But a question.
Would he have been happy?
If he had chosen differently, if he had not become this, would there have been joy? Would there have been laughter, something real and full instead of the sharp, cruel thing he lets slip past his lips now?
Or would he have faded into obscurity, just another nameless fool in a world that does not care?
Would he rather be a forgotten man or a remembered monster?
The answer should be easy.
It should be.
But in moments like this, when he stands before a mirror and sees something that does not belong to him, he is not so sure.

Greetings, Dreamers and Readers ✨🌸
Look, I know I write Sukuna with a lot of philosophy, but I don’t think I’ve fully understood him yet. Every time I try, he ends up a little too lost, a little too weighed down, and I know that’s not quite right. Sukuna isn’t the type to sit in a corner and sulk about the meaning of his existence—if he ever caught me writing him like this, I’d be dead before I could even start explaining myself.
Like, picture it: I’m standing there, notebook in hand, ready to argue about his inner demons, and he just looks at me—amused, vaguely disgusted—before shaking his head and flicking his wrist. Ah, foolish little woman. And then I’m gone. Just a thought, just dust.
But hey, he’s not here to do any of that, so here I am, rambling away.
---
And that’s where you come in. Tell me—am I getting him right? Or am I making him too introspective, too… human? Is there something in Sukuna that justifies this angle, or am I just trying to squeeze meaning out of something that doesn’t need it? Let me know. Let’s figure out this god-king together.
✨ Bye and take care, hope you all have a good day ✨
"People trust what is beautiful, what is soft. But flowers can poison, too." – Lily Calloway
---
"When I was little, my mother told me that good girls are loved, and bad girls are left behind. But I watched the world, and I learned—good girls get nothing. Smart girls take everything."
-----
Tucked away in the heart of Birmingham, Calloway’s Garden is a charming little shop where the air is thick with the scent of lilies, violets, and roses. People walk in for fresh-cut flowers, never questioning why some bouquets come wrapped in whispers and secrets. A flower shop is a good place for business—the real kind. The kind no one talks about.
---
"She’s a liar, but a useful one." – Thomas Shelby
---
Lily Calloway is not the woman people think she is. A social butterfly, warm and disarming, she knows exactly what to say to make people lean in, listen, trust. But beneath the charm is a mind that sees, calculates, and survives. She’s not cruel—cruelty is too messy, too blunt. She prefers subtlety, making people think they’re in control when she’s already three steps ahead.
-----
Theo Carter : He was her brother’s best friend. Now he’s hers. He came back from the war when Charles didn’t, and she doesn’t know if she keeps him close out of loyalty or something heavier.
Janifer Smith : Her partner-in-crime, her best friend, and sometimes the devil on her shoulder. They are two sides of the same coin—one soft-spoken, the other bold, but both dangerous in their own way.
---
Tommy Shelby?— She respects him, and he sees potential in her. But she knows what men like him do to people who get too close. And Lily Calloway? She wasn’t made to be anyone’s pawn.
-----
Writer’s Note:
So, this is my first-ever OC, and honestly? I have no idea what I’m doing, but we’re rolling with it. Lily Calloway has been living in my head rent-free for weeks, so it’s about time I let her loose into the world. She’s manipulative but not cruel, charming but not harmless, and definitely not the kind of woman you want to underestimate.
I’ll probably be dropping the first chapter in 2-3 days (if I don’t get distracted by life ). I have the whole story outlined—25 chapters, slow-burn, morally grey choices, and a whole lot of drama. So, if you’re into that, stick around.
--
Also, I’d love to hear your thoughts on Lily! Is she giving femme fatale or just a girl trying to survive in a man’s world? Maybe both. We’ll see.
✨ Bye and take care, Hope you all have a good day ✨
Gojo Satoru talks like the world will stop spinning if he shuts up.
You noticed it the first time you met him, back when he was just your classmate, your friend—before you realized that being near him felt like standing too close to the sun. He had this way of making noise like he was afraid of what would happen if there wasn’t any. A running commentary on things that didn’t matter. Complaints about the cafeteria food. Arguments over what counted as a dessert. Long, convoluted rants about how nobody appreciated his genius.
At first, you thought he was just like that. Loud. Annoying, even. The kind of person who didn’t care if people were listening, as long as he was the one talking.
It took you longer than you’d like to admit to realize that he only filled the silence because he was terrified of it.
Because silence meant thinking. And thinking meant remembering. And remembering—
Well. That wasn’t something Gojo Satoru liked to do.
-----
Somewhere along the way, you learned how to read between the lines.
How his voice was always just a little too high-pitched when he was lying. How he made fun of things when he wanted to pretend they didn’t matter. How his laugh was just a little bit too loud, a little too sharp, like he was daring you to believe he was as happy as he sounded.
How, sometimes, when he thought nobody was looking, he would get this look in his eyes—something far away, something quiet.
The first time you saw it, you thought maybe he was just tired. Maybe he wasn’t sleeping well. But then it happened again. And again. And then, one day, in a moment of rare honesty, he said something you weren’t expecting.
"It’s funny, y’know?" he’d said, tilting his head back against the wall, the light catching on his blindfold in a way that made it impossible to tell if his eyes were open or closed.
"I can hear everything. Every heartbeat, every whisper, every single sound in a mile radius. And still, sometimes, it feels like I’m the only person in the room."
---
You don’t know when you started seeing him for what he really was.
Not Gojo Satoru, the loud-mouthed idiot with a god complex.
Not Gojo Satoru, the strongest sorcerer alive, the untouchable, the unkillable.
Just Gojo Satoru.
The boy who talked too much because silence was unbearable. The boy who smiled too much because frowning would make it real. The boy who laughed too much because, if he stopped, he wasn’t sure if he would ever start again.
Gojo Satoru, who could kill a god but couldn’t hold onto the people he loved.
Gojo Satoru, who had spent his whole life outrunning grief, only to realize that no matter how fast he moved, it would always be waiting for him at the end of the road.
---
"Do you ever get tired of it?" you asked him once.
"Of what?"
"The act."
Gojo grinned. "What act?"
You rolled your eyes. "The one where you pretend none of this matters. The one where you pretend you’re not—" lonely "—carrying the weight of the world on your back."
Something flickered across his face, there and gone in an instant. If you hadn’t been watching for it, you wouldn’t have noticed it at all.
Then he laughed.
"Oh, please," he said, stretching his arms over his head. "You think I do all this for fun? I’m naturally this charming."
"Liar," you said softly.
Gojo Satoru looked at you then, really looked at you, and for a second, you thought maybe he was going to tell you the truth. Maybe he was going to say that, yeah, sometimes it was exhausting. Sometimes, when he was alone, he didn’t even turn on music because the silence was better than hearing his own voice echoing back at him.
But then he smirked.
"Yeah, well," he said, standing up and stretching. "If I talked less, you’d miss me."
He left before you could tell him that you already did.
---
But sometimes—sometimes—you wake up in the middle of the night and find him still asleep.
And he looks different, then.
Gojo Satoru, who is always moving, always talking, always on, is finally still.
And in that stillness, he looks almost human.
Almost breakable.
You never wake him up.
Because you know that as soon as he opens his eyes, the act will start all over again.
---
"You know," you say one night, when the city is quiet and Gojo Satoru is sitting on your couch, blindfold pushed up, staring at the ceiling like it holds the answers to a question he hasn’t figured out how to ask. "You don’t have to be on all the time."
He hums. "I don’t know what you mean."
"Yeah, you do."
Gojo tilts his head, a slow, lazy movement, like he’s thinking about something too big to fit inside words. "If I stop," he says finally, "then what?"
(You don’t answer.)
Because you don’t know.
Because maybe he doesn’t, either.
So you sit beside him instead, close enough that he could touch you if he wanted to. Close enough that he could feel you there.
And maybe that’s enough.
Maybe, for once, Gojo Satoru doesn’t have to fill the silence.
Maybe he can just exist.
Maybe, for once, he doesn’t have to be alone.
---
You never say it out loud.
But some part of you thinks that Gojo Satoru talks so much because he’s trying to drown something out.
And maybe, just maybe—
He’s waiting for someone to listen.
-----
Greetings, Dreamers and Readers ✨🌸
You ever look at Gojo in that Toji scene and feel something uncomfortably close to pity? Not the kind you give to someone weak, but the kind that comes when you see someone who should’ve had a chance to be something else. Because that kid—that Gojo Satoru—was raw. Serious. The kind of serious that a boy his age shouldn’t have been. His face wasn’t blank, but it wasn’t guarded either. He was just there, fully present in the moment, taking the world in as it was. And maybe, back then, he still thought he was a part of it.
But fast forward a few years, and suddenly he’s the loudest guy in the room. A boy who never really grew up, at least not in the way that mattered. A boy who talks too much, laughs too hard, makes a joke out of everything—because the alternative is what exactly? Silence? Reflection? Feeling?
It makes you wonder. —What did he suffer, to look at the world and decide that maybe it wasn’t worth his real emotions? What did he lose to become someone who only lets himself exist through noise?
And the worst part? —Nobody even asks. Because Gojo Satoru is fine, right? Because he smiles. Because he jokes. Because he’s the strongest, and people like that don’t need to be understood.
But if you look closely—if you really pay attention—you’ll see it. He’s been holding the world at arm’s length for a long, long time.
--
Anyways I'll love to hear your thoughts on this one shot and do you too know people who like being the center of attention but for a complete different reason
