What if yuzuriha, wagner, and orie met their s/o in bbtag? What if the reader decides to stay with them and leave their own world behind? Either because they hated it or just a depressing reason.

I'd take that chance too, ngl. Anything to get out of this shitshow we live in right now.

Slight CW: Slight hints of abuse/neglect in Wagner's section

-Once Yuzuriha along with everyone else heard that the only way to build up enough energy for System to send them home was to fight, she was naturally pretty enthusiastic. It wasn't every day she'd get to fight people from other worlds entirely. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't at least somewhat excited.

-She fully expected to be fighting some pretty damn strong opponents along the way, as well as team up with equally powerful allies. However even knowing the circumstances she ever expected to find someone like you.

-It took quite a bit of time to build up enough energy by fighting, much more than expected. That left you and her plenty of time to get to know each other. She found you intriguing, even minus the fact you were from another world. Wasn't long before that intrigue turned to attraction, feelings you ended up returning.

-Unfortunately it wasn't meant to last, because eventually System had finally regained all of her power. She's beginning the process of sending everyone home before you intervene, saying you wanted to go to Kanzakai with Yuzu, taking both of them aback and asking you why.

-With a sigh you reveal that your life back home...wasn't the best. You opened up about alone you really were, having lost your family in an accident and grappling with your own hopelessness about your purpose in life. You figured perhaps maybe starting over somewhere else was the best solution, and you wanted it to be with the first person you'd truly connected with for the first time in what felt like forever.

-Yuzuriha didn't have the heart to turn you down. She was more than willing to take you in and give you a fresh start. When you wake up, it's clearly late at night, and you're on the ground near what seems like a shrine, one you obviously don't recognize.

-Yuzu is the first to call out to you as she wakes up too, introducing the place as the shrine she's duty-bound to protect that she's mentioned in passing during your time in the Phantom Field.

-She can talk more about that later. First order of business is introducing you to her sister and mother and showing you where you'll be sleeping. You can go out to see Kanzakai after you've gotten some rest.

-Unlike Yuzuriha, Wagner was noticeably less thrilled about the idea of fighting so much. Teamwork isn't exactly her strong suit and she'd already wasted her time enough in this place as is.

-She wasn't interested in the chit-chat some of the others were partaking in. If she was talking to someone, it was to either team up with them for a fight or challenge them. Nothing more, nothing less. This was however, until you came along.

-For whatever reason you wanted to stick by her for more than just your first battle together. Wagner inexplicably started feeling this way too. Of course if you asked her she just said you were a fierce ally in battle, but that was only a surface reason.

-She eventually lets it slip. Being near you made her feel something she'd never felt before. Looking at you, especially when you smiled at her, made her heart suddenly start to beat faster and her face to feel warm, a very different kind of warm from her fire powers. It felt...warm and pleasant, and it confused her.

-Well the cat was out of the bag now, she had fallen for you whether she liked it or not. She was more than thankful that instead of laughing at her or taking advantage of her feelings that you returned them.

-Of course that only made it painful to have to go back to her home world much to her annoyance, at least until you stepped in saying you wanted to go back to Erika's world with her.

-Upon asking why you explained your...less than ideal family situation. They weren't the best people to be raised by for a number of reasons. It really screwed with you as a person in a lot of ways and you wanted nothing more than to get away from it. If it meant having to leave to another world, so be it.

-She was understandably furious at the revelation. She almost wanted to head back to your world instead just to teach them a lesson. She couldn't though, unlike you she had duties and business back home, pretty important ones at that. Yet that wouldn't stop her from bringing you home with her. It was likely for the best anyway.

-Upon passing out and waking up, you find yourself in the middle of a park in a rather large city with Erika waking up next to you. She can't take you to Licht Kreis HQ unfortunately. Even if she was their 4th Executor, non-personnel are not allowed on base.

-She opts to take you to the house she'd been given on her "rehabilitation" mission. She'll calm down Silvaria later once she inevitably finds out about you, the first order of business is getting you acquainted to an entirely new world.

-Orie's sort of in the middle when it comes to her stance on the fighting. She wasn't the biggest fan but she realized it was necessary if she wanted to get herself and everyone else caught up in all this Phantom Field business home so she readily took up her blade and fought anyone that would accept a duel...or... 2v2 fight.

-You were one of her first partners. She'd come across people she didn't know but they were from your world so you had some valuable intel on them that helped lead to victory. She admired your battle prowess even outside of that so she saw no harm in forming a bonafide team with you.

-Something began to happen though as you continued fighting. The way you always had her back, showed grace to your opponents no matter what, and the way you showed concern for her if you thought she was injured, she started to feel differently about you. Eventually, no matter how she spun it, there was no mistaking what it was.

-It took a really....really...really long time for System to regain power, she wasn't kidding when she emphasized the 'slowly' part during her explanation. It was long enough that you two managed to find out about each other's mutual feelings.

-It's a real shame when the time inevitably comes that System has replenished the proper power to send everyone home. At least that's what Orie is thinking until out of nowhere you ask System to send you to Kanzakai with her.

-Naturally she questions you on this decision, and you now have to tell her about your home; it's been ravaged by war, for quite a while now at that. A good majority of your world, including your home has been all but turned to wasteland where simple day to day survival was a cutthroat competition.

-Orie's heart sinks when she learns what your world was like, that someone so good had to live in a world so bad. It's a pretty easy decision for her to let you go to Kanzakai with her for the sake of giving you a better life, to give you the salvation you deserve.

-The moment you're teleported and wake up in Kanzakai, you almost start crying. It had been long since you'd last seen such a grand pristine city, last seen people living peacefully together without having to worry about where their next meal would come from or if they would even see the sun rise again. Far too long...

-Orie sees this and immediately asks if anything's wrong, you have to calm her down. Nothing is wrong with you. In fact they've never been better.

Yup, I saw this already on gelbooru lmao. Like a wise YouTube comment I saw once said:

Holy fuck I haven't thought about these things in forever. You just unlocked core memories.

Okay not sure if this is allowed but what if Ragna survived CF and had his first proper birthday at Chuck E. Cheese thatf be pretty crazy i think

While this is a funny idea, afraid that's gonna have to be a no, both for time constraints and for lore contradiction.

Bonus request

So, this was a request that was given to me in DMs. @chefskillet1 was the only person to miss the deadline for a request so I decided to give her a free request submission. She asked for HCs about how Izanami and Nine celebrate their S/O's birthday, but Izanami was already done in a previous post so Nine will be done here. This ask will take place after the Dark War before she dies since that feels more natural to me for this post.

-Nine is quite used to celebrating a birthday, she does it all the time for the people important to her like Celica and Trinity, she'll have no qualms doing it for an S/O as well.

-Even after the Dark War and losing a lot of her political power, she can still definitely do something for you. She'll be damned if she doesn't, she got way too close to losing you for comfort, she's fully intent on spoiling you

-She still has more than enough power to reserve an entire building in Ishana specifically for the celebration, getting Celica and the rest of the Heroes to help out, albeit with differing levels of enthusiasm.

-She can be a real slave driver at times, as everyone finds out in her efforts to make everything as perfect as possible. Terumi especially has it bad, though since he's still under the Mind Eater, he can't do much of anything to go against her.

-On the day of your birthday, Celica tells you to come to some place in Ishana you hadn't yet been to before. You hadn't really had time to wander since for the last 10 years you and everyone else were too busy trying to stop a giant ass nuclear hydra from ending the world. You had no reason to not at least see what she was up to.

-Much to your surprise, there's a whole ass party set up just for you, Nine, Celica and the rest of the Heroes having differing energies as they shouted "surprise!". Nine, Celica, Trinity, and Jubei were all quite enthusiastic, Valkenhayn not as much but still wanted to do his part, Terumi doing it rather begrudgingly, and Hakumen expectedly staying silent.

-Gifts of all kinds are laid out on the table nearby, it's pretty easy to tell who each one is from since no two people in this crowd are completely alike. Tea leaves from Valk that you've probably never seen before, a special magic charm from Celica imbued with some of her power, A shiny new katana from Jubei, a special staff handmade by Trinity to enhance your magic, the list goes on.

-Nine had something extra special for you, though, naturally. Her gift is a magic snowglobe of Ishana, shaking it while thinking about any particular part of your home will show your happiest memories there, however few and far between they may or may not be.

-The day you first met Nine and all your other friends, the day you two finally hooked up, your wedding if you're already married, the party of historical proportions when the Black Beast was finally slain, and many more you can revisit with this one contraption.

-Terumi couldn't be fucked to get you anything, so to make up for that Nine makes him do party tricks. Maximum embarrassment for the bastard and maximum amusement for the rest of you. Though he would never admit, even Hakumen couldn't help a scoff of amusement here and there, taking pleasure in the humiliation of the man who'd caused him so much suffering.

-Nine may be brash, aggressive, and hot-headed, but it's moments like these where you're reminded that she really does care about you, more than life itself. She'd go to hell and back to ensure you and her family are safe and sound.

Request(Blazblue): On the day of their birthday's Makoto, Noel, Tsubaki, and Mai's S/O's back them their favorite dishes (Mai's S/O even asking Noel to help them cook for her).

I am so sorry if this gets repetitive, that's kinda how it goes sometimes for 4 character requests. Probably gonna be a bit shorter than usual.

-It doesn't take much to figure out what kind of food Makoto likes. Not only does her heritage make it pretty obvious but she's also quite the foodie in general.

-She doesn't have any particular favorite food but she is a big sweets gal, and of course being a squirrel, nuts are a personal favorite of hers. There are plenty of dishes out there that meet both those criteria, you have options.

-Eventually the idea you decided on was a chestnut parfait. Sweet, easy to make, had nuts, and had fruits to make it at least somewhat healthy. The perfect plan.

-When lunch eventually rolls around you head up to Makoto and present it to her while wishing her a happy birthday. Her mouth almost starts to water right then and there.

-She scarfs it down at record speeds that are frankly a bit concerning. She certainly enjoyed it though judging by her smile and the way her tail couldn't seem to stop wagging.

-As soon as she's done her arms wrap around you immediately in an enthusiastic showing of thanks. She's absolutely going to ask you for more in the future.

-Noel's not too much of a foodie, she absolutely prefers to cook instead of eat, much to everyone's dismay.

-However her birthday happens to fall on Christmas, so you have as good of an excuse as any to make something for her. A traditional Christmas dish could fulfill your needs well.

-You spend hours toiling away in the kitchen, making a nice, full meal for the both of you to enjoy. You figured it'd be a nice thing to do for both of you since work in the NOL has left you both unfortunately unable to go home for Christmas.

-Mercifully, your workload is at least greatly lightened for the day if not outright eliminated entirely. As soon as you're done with what little you have to do and evening comes you invite Noel over to your place, not telling her the reason.

-The first thing Noel is met with is a table filled with steaming hot food, leaving her unable to hold back her shock that you'd go so far for her.

-She doesn't know whether to kiss you or dig right in, however her nervousness gets the best of her and she opts to go for the food, which is by no means a bad choice. The effort and love you put into it really shines through.

-Mission success. Now all that's left is to pray to whatever God will listen that she doesn't get the urge to return the favor...

-Tsubaki is a sucker for chocolate, as much as she tries not to let it get to her. It gets to the point that Jin of all people worries about her in this regard.

-Her birthday just so happens to coincidentally fall on White Day, so you'd likely already be getting her chocolate anyway. The problem is having both occasions on the same day sorta ups the pressure on your part to perform.

-You eventually decided the best way to fill the criteria for both was via chocolate cake. You didn't want just some simple, easy cake from a box anyone could make, you knew she deserved better.

-Then you had an epiphany. You could indeed churn out something worthy of such a lovely lady. After spending a good amount of time in the kitchen you end up with a chocolate cake sweetened with condensed milk along topped with caramel and whipped cream. Surely this would pay off.

-Tsubaki's eyes light up as soon as she sees the fruits of your hard labor, even more so once she takes the first bite. She is practically in heaven. It felt like she was falling for you all over again.

(Can't believe it took this long to finally write for Mai. Though I'm writing this last minute on late night April 21st so what can you do lmao)

-It's rather tough for you to pin down what sort of food Mai would like considering her...complicated relationship with food.

-Whatever you do see her eat, it's completely mangled beyond recognition by whatever the hell Noel does whenever she cooks. You don't know, and frankly you don't think you want to.

-However this is going to turn out to be a nice boon for a change. Not being able to cook for Mai was a serious point of grief for you due to her supertaste, but with Noel around you can finally do so. She immediately agrees to the plan.

-After some discussion about what she typically makes for Mai and what she seems to like best, you two decide on a seafood pilaf. You'd make the base since you wanted to contribute at least something to the dish, and let Noel take it from there.

-Frankly it's a bit scary, leaving her with a perfectly normal dish and then getting it back looking like a weapon of mass destruction. This weapon of mass destruction though was all Mai could eat so you really can't complain. (Not complaining about Noel's cooking...what the hell have you come to...?)

-Mai's grin is practically ear to ear as she eagerly eats everything down, especially once she hears that both you and Noel worked on the dish. As far as she's concerned this is the best damn thing she's ever eaten, thanking you both with a big smile and hug. Being able to eat after what happened is always a treat.

-You still have no idea what Noel does to any food she touches to make it end up the way it does, but perhaps it's one of those mysteries that's just best left unsolved.

coffee anon here to throw a birthday thought to the ring if timezones don't eff me over lol. I'm actually kinda curious how wagner or izanami would celebrate an S/O's birthday

You were actually six hours early to the deadline lmao. Really funny to read that.

-Wagner has a very...high class idea of how birthdays are celebrated. Just about every one she's been to, including her own has had a budget equal to what the average person makes in an entire year.

-Frankly a change of pace would be quite nice for her. And now that she had you, her S/O around and with your birthday now coming, it was the perfect chance to do that.

-She's still going to spoil you to hell and back if you've managed to get under her skin enough to become her S/O, but maybe she'll save the more extravagant ideas she has for sometime in the future.

-Whatever you've said you wanted for the last month or two in front of her, you're getting showered with it all thanks to Wagner's family fortune.

-She'd much prefer to spend the day out treating you. Anywhere you want to eat, any recreational place you'd want to go to. It's supposed to be your day, after all. Your happiness today is the priority.

-Just as long as it isn't too down and dirty, she does still have dignity and an image to maintain. More rustic stuff isn't quite her pace. The more ordinary things will please her just fine though, as long as you're having a good time.

(Phantomfield seriously came in clutch with helping me brainstorm for Izanami, this would not have gotten done without their help)

-Izanami is actually pretty used to celebrations, despite almost never making public appearances. For a beloved S/O, she has no qualms with holding a celebration for their birthday to make them happy, though it's definitely going to be a reserved, invite-only event.

-Saya's memories and feelings certainly make her more inclined to the idea than she'd normally be. Izanami can't really help herself in that regard, it's her influence that drives her wish to see you happy, for what time you have left until Doomsday, of course.

-The main attendees are the Duodecim and some high ranking NOL officers here and there. Their payment required to get in? A satisfactory gift for you judged by the Imperator herself. If they can't even gift you something adequate enough then they have no business being anywhere near you.

-She specifically doesn't invite Relius and Hazama, it's not even a question. It's not like they can't behave on the surface, but she knows damn well those two would get up to some shady shit behind the scenes. They are allies, not friends. Their goals are all very different and very self serving at the end of the day.

-Izanami's sort of like a predator being possessive over their prey in that sense. She's not letting you anywhere near those two if she can help it. You're all hers, and she's going to let you know it.

-That's specifically why she planned such an extravagant, enchanting, exclusive event just for you. To spoil you rotten and show you that there's no better fit for your lover than she is. No one else would be able to do something like this for you, would they? Yes, she might be affectionate and perhaps even loving to you, but she's still the manipulative, cunning incarnation of Death itself...

Persona 5 Strikers request: After a long day of work, Ichinose's S/O surprises her at her lab to give her a birthday present-A locket that has a picture of Ichinose, Sophie, and the S/O in it.

Hey this ain't a bad idea. A lot of character development would be needed though before she's anywhere near ready for a relationship.

(She kinda fine tho, ngl. Not my gif.)

-Ichinose probably never celebrated her birthday before. She never saw the point when she had far more important things to do.

-That was however until she'd made Sophia, and then later down the line met you. Despite everything, both of you still cared for her, seeing her as your family. She could never understand why, no matter how much she really did appreciate the thought.

-It eventually reached you that her birthday was here now, and she hadn't told you about it. And she'd already gone off to work for the day. You sort of expected it, as disappointed as you were.

-But you weren't going to let that deter you, you wanted to do something, even if this wasn't the type of girlfriend to like a huge party or go out drinking with her 10+ friends.

-Frankly, she didn't really do...much of anything outside of working and spending time with you and So- wait...

-Lightbulb.

-It really is the perfect gift idea for her. a locket with a picture of all three of you in it that Ichinose can carry around and look at whenever she's just not having a good day.

-She's quite taken aback she'd practically never gotten anything for her birthday before, even if it was somewhat her fault. She doesn't quite understand the meaning at first but she knows it'd be rude to not accept it.

-It's only a couple days later when she realizes. She's pulling an all-nighter and her work is beating her down. Almost naturally, she finds herself opening up the locket and gazing at the picture of herself, you, and Sophia.

-It...actually managed to make her smile. A real one.

Request (Persona 3): Aigis, Metis, and Labry's S/O's plan a surprise birthday party for them, so they act as secretive as they can until their B-Days.

I have unfortunately not played The Answer, gonna have to wait for P3R DLC for that, so it's just Aigis and Labrys for now.

-Aigis, rather predictably, wasn't all that familiar with the custom of celebrating birthdays. She did know yours was just around the corner and knew that at least something was necessary but didn't know what to do.

-She went around asking the rest of S.E.E.S what to do, which turned out about as well as one would expect. She was assaulted with so many ideas all at once she only left even more conflicted on what she was supposed to do.

-It was only when she asked Mitsuru it became clear. There were no expectations or pressure to do anything in particular, just do what she thought you would like best. It was your day, after all.

-Going through her memory banks looking at the time she's spent with you, a majority of your dates tended to be more reserved and intimate. Those were what you seemed to enjoy the most. Not so much the activity itself but rather the time spent with her. So that's what she decided to do.

-The day of your birthday Aigis wakes you up with breakfast in bed, made specially for you by Shinji at her request. She more than trusts his abilities, even if he can be a bit...stingy in the kitchen.

-Once you're full and ready to head out she spends the day taking you to a bunch of different places you like, some places you'd probably been to once or twice before you really enjoyed. Of course if you see something you like she's more than happy to give it to you.

-The most important thing was that you spent your birthday with your girlfriend. While she didn't quite know what she was doing, the fact she was putting in effort really warmed your heart.

(Credit to original gif maker)

-Labrys had always wanted to celebrate someone's birthday as humans call them, her occupation though had left her with little to no time to do so. That was until you came around, being part of the Shadow Operatives.

-She was ecstatic to find out it was quickly coming up. There were so many thing she wanted to try, and her S/O was the perfect target. She's pretty much bursting with excitement.

-She's planning the biggest party she can physically manage, making sure everything down to the last detail is perfect and ropes the rest of S.E.E.S into it. If any IT members catch on and wanna help too, she's certainly not one to turn them down.

-She can be kind of demanding on S.E.E.S, but it is for a dear friend and none of them really have the heart to turn her down when she's so pumped up.

-Junpei takes you out to the mall on the actual day of to distract you for a couple hours while everyone else puts on the finishing touches. He's pretty good at keeping you occupied and the team doesn't really trust him with party prep anyway. He's pretty good at selling he act that he's not up to anything, surprisingly.

-Upon returning to base, it's completely dark, before the lights are turned on and you're greeted with everyone popping out from the hiding, even some IT members shouting "surprise!"

-It's not hard to deduce that Labrys is the mastermind behind the whole operation, even before she proudly owns up to it, wanting to commemorate you on your special day.

-Decorations and plans she's drawn out are as grand as they are cliche. Which is to say very, on both fronts. It's a very Labrys thing to do, though clearly everyone else had to help out so she didn't misinterpret anything and screw up. Even if you're not usually one for parties, you're really appreciative of her for going to such lengths just for you.

-Now enough of the sappy stuff. Stop standing around, it's time to party like the world is ending.

Request (Persona): Rise comes home from a tour to see her S/O and their kids have set up a birthday party for her.

Lowkey feel a little bad for any kids Rise might have. She'd be a great mom but can't be there as much as she wants due to her work.

-Chances are this was quite the miracle to actually have happen. Rise really had to put her foot down with her manager so she could be home with her family on her birthday and not spend it in some far off city on the other side of the country doing some event for it.

-As soon as you got the phone call from her saying she was able to come home, you immediately got to work. The kids were immediately in on the plan as you rushed to get everything set up in time.

-You unfortunately didn't get much forewarning so it's a race against the clock to get everything done in time. Having a couple extra pairs of hands proves very critical to succeeding.

-When she gets off the train you head over to pick her up, leaving the kids alone for a bit to make sure everything's perfect. Inaba was a perfectly safe town and it'd only be for about 10 minutes, you weren't worried.

-Once you're in front of the door you tell Rise to wait outside for a couple minutes while you go and get something. She's pretty confused but complies until you tell her from inside she's good to come in now.

-Stepping into her home for the first time in a while, the first thing Rise's met with is a huge cake and he living room decorated for a party you and the kids worked hard on, down to the last minute details.

-The gasp escaping her is one of pure joy as she holds her hands to her mouth and has to hold back tears. The kids are immediately trapped in her death grip, only being let go when she pulls you into the hardest kiss of your life, much to their simultaneous relief and dismay, which you and her have a good chuckle about.

-A traditional birthday party with her family is one she's wanted for a very long time, but just hasn't been able to have much, if at all due to her work. Just something between the people she cared for most in her life. The old IT members were great and all, but things tended go get...chaotic. sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.

-Best birthday ever.

Request: For their birthdays, Futaba and Malina's S/O's get them the limited edition pack of the newest video game that they've had their eyes on.

-It was only natural the Phantom Thieves would start organizing a party for Futaba's special day. Nothing too big, of course, for her sake, but a big ol' celebration at Leblanc certainly wouldn't hurt.

-Futaba hadn't really told anyone about it yet since she didn't have the chance, but she was really looking forward to a specific game for a pretty long time, and of course she wanted the limited special edition.

-She did tell Sojiro, but it was too expensive for him and a waste of money in his eyes. And of course she couldn't rely on a bunch of high school students to be able to afford it.

-So it's a pretty big surprise when the gift she opens from you turns out to be the very thing she'd been wanting. You'd seen her look at it online when you visited her room and knew that'd be something nice to get for her birthday.

-It wasn't easy, mind you. You're a high school student with other responsibilities just like everyone else. But you wanted to treat her for her first birthday as your S/O.

-The look on her face and the way her eyes lit up was worth all the effort as she immediately ripped open the box and put on the helmet that came with the special edition. That thing was not coming off for the foreseeable future.

-Malina...isn't a particular fan of newer games. She has a very pessimistic view of the industry as a whole nowadays. Whether you agree with that sentiment is up to you.

-One day you took her to a game store since you needed to play into her interests to get her out of the house. And you'd rather not have to deal with a drunk demon causing chaos at the bar.

-She's mostly pretty disinterested, being the huge skeptic that she is. That is though until something manages to catch her eyes. A remake, specifically.

-An old Heroes game had apparently gotten a remake without her knowledge, and a limited edition with downloadable DLC for some extra loot and characters was currently being sold, and on limited quantity.

-Seeing that her birthday was coincidentally coming up in a couple days, you saw no reason not to get it for her. She honestly didn't expect you to do something like that for her of all people, but she does appreciate it (though she's most tsundere tsundere to ever tsundere so you won't be hearing that out loud.)

-The two of you promptly head home and boot up the game, spending the rest of the night playing it until sunrise. Whether or not that was your intention.
