Summary
Nan felt suddenly lightheaded and her vision blurred. She could hear Gelgar saying something else insipid, but he sounded far away.
His blurred outline began to fall away with the sound of his voice. Nan felt her knees buckle. Her head swam. Gravity took over.
Before she could even brace for impact, Nanaba felt a solid arm across her back catching her mid fall. She blinked rapidly, trying to force the world back into focus. Though she still couldn’t see the features clearly, Nan immediately recognized the broad man’s stature, his smell, his touch. Mike.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
After the Battle of Trost, Mike’s Squad is in charge of keeping the 104th cadet corps occupied. During a grueling training session, Nanaba ignores her body’s cries for rest until she physically cannot any longer. Thankfully, her squad leader is familiar with her tendency towards hyper independence and personally sees to it that she’s taken care of.

Summary
“Ijichi-san?!”
Ijichi heard his name at precisely the same moment as the door swung open. It hit the two things that were protruding out the most, his forehead and his precious cup of coffee. Ijichi gasped involuntarily, sloshing the hot liquid up onto his chest.
“Ijichi-san!” The door opened the rest of the way to reveal a petite woman in a dark suit. “Oh shit!”
“N… Nitta-kun?” Ijichi winced. It wasn’t a large spill, just enough that he could feel the dark stain on his white button-up start to burn the skin beneath.
“Shi- Shoot!” Nitta corrected, rushing forward and took the cup from her superior’s hand. “I am so, so sorry!”
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Summary
“Alright, now we will head to campus Inumaki-kun,” Ijichi informed his passenger as he started the engine. “It will take some time with the afternoon traffic so please, go ahead and have your onigiri.”
The boy in the mirror simply looked down at his snack, holding it carefully between his small hands.
“I won’t tell anyone I allowed food in the car, as long as you don’t.” Ijichi attempted humor. Not that the boy knew about the manager’s rules. All he got was a side-eye for his efforts. Ijichi agreed, he should stick to his day job and promptly focused on hitting the road.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
A new auxiliary manager, Ijichi’s first solo job is to transport a young Inumaki Toge to Jujutsu High School for special training with Gojo Satoru. Riddled with the usual anxiety, Ijichi is nervous about interacting with the young boy. From their meeting, however, Ijichi is reminded why he got into this line of work supporting sorcerers and helps young Inumaki find his voice.

That Familiar Feeling by Sassy_Nan

Summary
The narrow passage seemed to shrink with every step, the darkness closed in. His breath quickened. Tamaki’s hand instinctively reached for Mirio’s arm, fingers grasping the elbow of his costume.
“I know it's pretty spooky in here,” Mirio stated, his voice even and familiar. The sound alone made Tamaki’s breathing start to slow, his nerves to settle. Suneater realized it was probably unprofessional of him to grab his fellow hero, so he reluctantly let his hand drop. He was grateful Lemillion couldn’t see his cheeks flush in the low light.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
At the start of their work studies, UA Students Suneater and Lemillion have been tasked with assisting an investigation into a series of jewelry robberies. Searching an abandoned warehouse for the thieves, Suneater is able to sense danger that his hero companions cannot. Is it his usual anxiety taking hold in a creepy dark building or is there something actually wrong? Lemillion helps him through a moment of self-doubt, letting Suneater’s unique abilities shine through.

Summary
Mike tightened his grip on her hand. “You’re… safe?”
Tears sprung to Nanaba’s eyes. “Yes, thanks to you.”
“Safe. Good.”
She nodded her head mutely, fighting back a sob forming in her throat. What was wrong with her? Being in the Scouts was tantamount to a death sentence, it was expected some of them wouldn’t return each time they left the walls. For some reason though, the thought of returning without him seemed impossible. It had been unthinkable until a few moments ago.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Mike Squad joins Hange’s on a mission beyond the walls to capture a titan specimen. Nanaba feels confident initially however, their plans quickly go pear-shaped. When Mike is badly injured, Nanaba is forced to make life-and-death decisions. Sacrificing her squad leader though is not an option, for more reasons than she realizes.

Summary
“I get it, sort of” Gojo said finally, leaning back against the rigid concrete steps. “These years are rough for everyone. But of course I was a cool, suave senpai back in the day,” Gojo fabricated. “All the crushes girls had on me, I left a trail of broken hearts in my wake.”
“Yeah, sure you did,” Megumi snorted.
“Seriously kid, it’s normal.” Gojo shrugged. “Honestly I’m relieved to know you have human feelings.”
“Shut up! I don’t like him like that.”
Gojo wasn’t the only liar.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Raising a teenager is hard especially in a world of sorcerers and curses. Gojo Satoru knows innocent crushes can turn deadly, and is concerned about Megumi’s apparent fixation with a new Jujutsu High student.

Summary
“It’s alright,” Nobara said, leaning closer to her senpai. “You don’t have to pretend to be anything you’re not around me. I respect you Maki-san. You can trust me.”
“Is that so?” Maki breathed, gazing into Nobara’s face. Her earnest eyes, the way the light reflected off of her hair, her full cupid’s bow. Maki’s heart hammered in her chest.
By way of answering, Nobara rocked up onto the balls of her feet and pressed her mouth against the other girl’s. Their lips brushed gently together, like their hands had done earlier that evening. Neither wanted to break the touch, and now there was no one there to stop them.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
After a disastrous school exchange event, Maki and Nobara are desperate to escape their Kyoto guests. The moon as their only witness, casual stolen touches quickly become warm earnest embraces. Maki discovers the taste of cherry chapstick is as sweet as it sounds.

Summary
Gojo paused for a moment before continuing. “As sorcerers there is only so much we can afford to care about. Some of them try to not care at all, about anyone. But realistically, it can’t be avoided. Trust me I’ve tried.”
Ijichi knew only too well what his senpai was talking about. Their line of work was dangerous and the social hierarchy complicated. Megumi hadn’t asked to be born into this world of curses, none of them had. But he had to learn how to survive it.
“When it comes to the people we choose to keep in our lives, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to protect them.” Gojo’s tone softened.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
As Assistant Director at Jujutsu High School Ijichi Kiyotaka has seen a thing or two. Sorcerers and curses alike have occupied his backseat. Although this time was different. A routine afternoon drive goes pear-shaped when Gojo gets a call that Megumi has been in a fight at school. After the teen gets in the car with a bloody nose, Ijichi witnesses the heated aftermath between Gojo and his rebellious ward from the rearview mirror.

Summary
“Itadori-kun…” Junpei dropped his gaze to the floor. “Sorry, It’s just usually- you don’t need to… I didn’t want you to…”
“It’s alright.”
Junpei raised his gaze to that soft smile that always made butterflies erupt in his stomach. When their eyes met, Yuuji moved closer. Junpei didn’t try to stop him as the other boy’s fingers brushed against his forehead, pulling back the fringe of his long bangs.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Junpei has finally enrolled in Jujutsu High and Itadori accompanies him to the local aquarium to celebrate. The problem is Junpei is not sure that becoming a high school student again is what he really wants. All Junpei knows is that Itadori has a way of making his stomach queasy and face flush.
