Oooh, please, for the character ask game, could I have questions 2, 5, 6, 18 and 21 about Barnaby? 💗

Character ask list 🌟

Barnaby, Bunny, the grumpy grump with a heart of gold 💛 My responses are kind of lengthy, so I'll put them under a read more.

2. Favorite canon thing about this character: His devotion. Right off the bat we're shown how incredibly devoted he is to his goals and ideals and the people he cares about. How determined he is to figure things out, seek out the truth and find justice and closure for his past. He starts off prickly, walls up, cocky and full of himself, but later on down the line we learn just how kind and caring he really is, how he hides that behind this wall he's built around himself. No matter what, even if his resolve shakes, he still has that drive, that devotion, to keep going, seeking, being and doing better. It's awesome. A+++ character dynamic 🥇

5. First song that comes to mind when you think about them: I literally cannot think of a better one than No Farewell, by, Barnaby himself (Technically his Japanese VA Masakazu Morita, but you know 🎧)

18. Relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire: Call me basic here, but Kotetsu, all the way lol 🐯 But for more than just the obviousness of their closeness, it's more than that for me. Initially, we see Barnaby as this flippant, cocky young man who seems suave, put-together and sure (As mentioned above lol) but slowly, he learns to trust Kotetsu, trust his partner. He confides in him more, he breaks down and cries in front of him (more than once!!) and through that trust, a real connection forms between them. A connection that even though is rocky and turbulent, is still so strong. They truly have each other's backs and literally, come hell or high water, will do anything to protect the other. And just, I really relate to Barnaby in terms of struggling to trust, to let your walls down and show people just how vulnerable you really are. That takes so much courage and strength, and I find that so admirable. I hope one day I can trust and be vulnerable like that too. 💚

21. If you're a fic writer, what's your favorite thing to do when writing for them? What's your least favorite? Springing off the above here, I really like writing Barnaby's vulnerability. I love shedding down those walls of his character and getting nitty and gritty with his complex way of feeling. To have this wall around them, to crumble it bit by bit until all that's left is that raw softness like, hyenas hunting an antelope. Brutal, but nourishing in its own way. 🥩 Least favorite though? Getting in the right headspace to write the above!! It takes a lot of mental work to get deep into the minds of how I think this character would react to certain situations or events, without blending too much of myself into it, and without making any response seem OOC. The heavier the emotions the harder it is to write. That's why it took me nearly a month to write my latest T&B fic. It had very heavy themes and trying to write that realistic, while in character, while also adding my own touch and flair, it was draining! lol 😅 But all in all, it's still fun to do in the end 💗

Thank you so much for the ask!! It was a lot of fun thinking about and writing all of this down! 💚💚

#zimianswerz #ask game #character ask game #thank you again! It was fun! And also thank you for the wonderful array of questions!!#barnaby brooks jr

okay JUST for you @toosday a continuation of the ‘how bad would their first time be, ranked’ based on some of the non-western ships I love (I won’t include any canon ships from danmei because their first sex scenes are literally described in detail in the books.)

kang yo han/kim ga on: there is so much catholic symbolism and bdsm going on here. gaon hearing ‘good boy’ during the act alone makes this a 15/10 experience

kurogane/fai: 12/10 world-transcendingly amazing even though fai cries during or afterwards because he doesn’t know how to accept love in a normal way

ash/eiji: if they HAD sex it would be 10/10 the first time even if either of them had Guilt about it afterwards (for different reasons; ash because he’s dragging eiji into his life, eiji because of ash’s past sexual abuse), but they never had sex because ash died. boner killer!

victor/yuuri: real ??????? on whether they had sex in canon yet actually. there are so many doujin that deal with this I won’t even try to chime in. 9/10 world-class athletes do it well

kotetsu/barnaby: well due to barnaby’s bad knee (derogatory) and kotetsu’s bad back (honorary) they don’t manage to be as athletic as they’d like about it but it’s still very sweet and overwhelmingly emotional for them both. 8/10 marks deducted for the dad jokes kotetsu made which ruined the mood

richard/seigi: they’re in the middle of having 7/10 pretty good sex and seigi says ‘you’re the most beautiful thing in this entire world’. richard has a complex about it and seigi only at this point wonders if he loves richard as more than a friend (novel readers don’t @ me this is an early canon based joke)

nezumi/shion: mutual handjobs at some point during canon in the west block are a solid no. 6/10 (ha, ha)

langa/reki: unfortunately I am SO sorry to tell you they have sex while skateboarding no I’m not kidding. despite grievous injury they enjoy it immensely and a 11/10 sexual skate gets downgraded to 5/10 only because of the bone fractures and hospital bill

lee dong sik/han joo won: this is SUCH an unbelievably bad time between joowon’s hangups over hygiene and daddy issues and guilt and dongsik’s hangups over literally everything else. 3/10 but they still come back for more because they’re far more compelling to each other than anyone else

shinji/kaworu: mind-meltingly overwhelming and existentially terrible for shinji and, much like eve, he dooms the human race while he’s at it. -100/10

#kira for ts #ask #brodie #thank you for giving me the opportunity to add these ships most of my followers will literally have never have heard of #the thing is the danmei first-sex scenes often blow these out of the water like I’ll say things jokingly and then guardian danmei is like.#well. anyway

I actually think Ryan/Barnaby/Kotetsu is such a valid polycule if only because it’d be like

Ryan dragging Kotetsu to the pet store when he goes to get food for his iguana. Kotetsu sees a curlyhair tarantula and goes “oh, is that Bunny?” and now the tarantula is coming home with them. Barnaby doesn’t understand what possessed Kotetsu to buy a whole tarantula enclosure when he screams about spiders in the shower. Kotetsu researches tarantulas nonstop and becomes obsessed with them. He and Ryan now share inseparable “unusual pet caretaker” bond. For some reason, this makes Barnaby love them more. He talks to the tarantula and the iguana while he waters his plants. He tells them he loves his dumb boyfriends and that they’re bringing home food for them soon. Kotetsu and Ryan come back with a pretty plant they saw that they thought Barnaby would like. Kaede spends the weekend with them and tells Ryan he’s stinky but his iguana is cool. This makes Kotetsu and Barnaby laugh. Ryan literally sniffs himself because he just showered, how could he be stinky. They sit down to do something later and Kaede calls Ryan Dad. Ryan cries. Kotetsu asks how they’ll know which dad she’s calling. Kaede says Ryan is Dad, Barnaby is Papa, and Kotetsu is Mama. Kotetsu cries. Oops they’re a big family now.

#seb speaks #tiger and bunny #kotetsu t. kaburagi #barnaby brooks jr.#ryan goldsmith #idk what this is this is just an excuse to put my dumb idea into the world before I write the fic for it

kotobuki “notes” aka slightly edited reaction thread

HYUUGA IS SO CUTE

i literally forgot i couldn't shout after he said (”remember aruji, you cant shout during this era” “haii-”)

URASHIMA IS SO CUTE

almost cried when they bowed over how cute they were

almost cried at seeing mikazuki again, mario was so beautiful

it took me a While to even notice the face shields, im surprised

im really glad that they confirmed the ones who werent there (or horikawa at the very least) were on an expedition :-)

mutsunokami casually dropping an i love you to yasusada like SO TRUE of course he would!!!!!

ookurikara in kazaguruma was so GUTTING god damn his face.....

legit Fear when i heard the sound of those geese before yume no ato

and akashi and kotegiri and matsui in yume no ato make so much Sense

muramasa absolutely would be telling everyone to strip if he were rn yes :-)

and the way even tho muramasa wasnt there in person he was there in Spirit bc everyone was pestering ookurikara about him anyway lmaoo

its so weird when hizamaru is in a position very clearly intended for muramasa w

everyone making excuses to get out of kotegiri’s practice :(

so ig he?? just imagine buzen kuwana and matsui joining him? lol

AND THEN THEY DID

i actually cried. theyre so good together!!!

and matsui joining in bc buzen is. he would be so uncertain without buzen here :(

and buzen offering kotegiri to lie on his lap :’)

my stream dropped out but the subtitles were still running and i could tell it was urashima and my Desperation to reload was so great i started crying again

and then like Begging hachisuka to Please please please please go fishing with them.... nagasone wants to but he wouldnt if hachisuka wouldnt let him.......

THE KOTETSU BROTHERS ARE SO GOOD

and urashima saying he’ll be stronger than his brothers one day and hachisuka and nagasone being proud of him!!!!!

koyoshi....

yasusada and kiyomitsu’s song made me cry even MORE

"in reality it just wants to be loved" literally made me clutch the wall for support

like theyre So much. theyre so much. just the. just THE

“theres a cat that is you / theres a cat thats you too / and he SUCKS / and HE sucks too!!! / but they just want to cuddle together”

^ Heavily heavily paraphrased but thats what i got from it :-)

like thats so insane.

mikazuki's new eyelashes make him look so sad

kurumu and mario sound so good together

hachisuka’s suit really really suits him

the past shows on the screens behind and the comparison between them now and when they first appeared made me cry again like theyve grown so much in five years!!! and as someone whos watched all the shows in order up til now (skipping bakuten20 for the moment) that really hit so hard for me

spi was SO insane

god he looked so good and then he did some breakdancing as well?? like tonbo killed me a Disproportionate number of times to how much i go out of my way to pay attention to him

additional times hisashiburi

akashi and matsui in can you guess what is SO UNFAIR. my non mihotose oshi?? in a mihotose song???

that grouping of mikazuki tsurumaru and kuwana is very strange no

like yesterday with utaawase i feel like shinsengumi + hachisuka got loads of nibu songs while i think mutsunokami and kogitsunemaru and otegine maybe were a little neglected

that being said dare no mono ga demo nai jinsei without tomoe was strange but hachisuka (who i was staring at for all of it) killed it so whatever

s in the timeline frames....

otegine and his braces.....

YARUKI GENKI KUNIYUKI!!

matsui's dialect slipped out a little i think :’)

who knew akashi’s legs can go that high jesus christ

when everyone lay down like akashi why did matsui clasp his hands together on his stomach like a dead body.

ookurikara: i can do this on my own

everyone: ok bye

ookurikara: wait what.

i was gonna say i didnt think ookurikara wouldnt suit a bowtie like the others so i was glad when i noticed he had a regular black tie like his mihotose19 nibu

ALSO i think if nikkari were here hed have one of those ribbon ones with a pin like hizamaru or just a regular tie like ookurikara

tsurumaru kashuu utsukushii higeki insane

myu at this point had five wakizashi and two tantou and somehow only two wakizashi and one tantou were here. so like hyuuga was taking over from kotegiri for wakizashi mc duty while he was with the other gous

gou danzen good

hizamaru jounetsu no symphonia jesus Christ

like i will always favour the original version of a song and jounetsu no symphonia is from tanki17 which was My First Myu so kashuu’s version really does have a special place in my heart but Jesus Christ Hizamaru

(also hizamaru joins chair-gumi)

since today was hizamaru with his version of jounetsu no symphonia i wonder what tomorrow with muramasa will be. blackout? that would be nice

yasukiyo in this were so insane.

yasusada every time he has a long stick has the urge to wrap one leg around it. (utsukushiki hibi yo, the mic stand in scarlet lips)

urashima doing horikawa replacement duty in scarlet lips too :’)

actually i quite liked what they did with the formations for the swords who were missing. like i can generally Sort Of See why they chose that sword to replace them

yeah after seeing scarlet lips i Do Understand why people kept saying they want to be a microphone bc My God.

the yari kemono lightsticks were so cool!!!

I DIDNT KNOW there would be messages from the missing swords so when monoyoshi-kun appeared i Instantly burst into tears and then cried even harder when nikkari came on after him

he looked so good too meccha meccha nikkari :sob::sob:

he Just. looked really happy.

in universe id like to think he sent that message just before he left on his journey and he was really settled and happy with his decision to request it (before all that Shit happened on the way)

out of universe of course araki was probably at tanki rehearsals

dude i genuinely do love that the ones who were missing were either on their journeys or on expeditions

mikazuki and ryo as kogitsunemaru FINALLY getting to sing that song to make up for atsukashiyama18 !!!!!!!!!

the karaoke for touken ranbu kotobuki ver? lol what

i do like the individual lines for each formation and then there was one for the starters too :’)

hizamaru going wait. is anija in the audience.

and hizamaru’s Powerful haiku

mario telling akira to come with him and then hes like no you use THAT door and akira like :T amd following him anyway

almost cried at tomoe’s message it was like he DIED

Bragging on KNY Characters That I Love Probably More Than I Should (in no particular order)

Manga Spoiler Alert <3

Makio Uzui

-bi panic

-i did not know so many people would be so cute in this series. but i’m not complaining.

-oh boy!!! she’s so cool!!!

-could fight you. that’s awesome. she’s so cool.

Sabito

-WHEN HE SMILES

-ALSO HE’S A CHILD!!! A YOUNG BABEY!!!!

-was friends with Giyu!!! sad but also!! he played such a good role in Giyu’s life!!! who knows where my lovely water hashira would be without him? (probably dead haha,, that’s not funny,,,,)

-”How is it you know the names of those deceased children?” HAHA W H A T?

(Gotogue-sensei really was hitting us with plot twists since volume one,,)

Senjuro Rengoku

-lol i’ve made a post about him before. he’s such a good boy.

-also a baby. a young child. precious.

-OHH THAT ONE SKETCH OF HIM FALLEN TO HIS KNEES AFTER FINDING OUT ABOUT KYOJURO

-please,,, he must be protected at all costs,,

Yushiro

-BAHAHAHA LOOK AT THAT BLUSH

-HIM BEING PROTECTIVE OVER TAMAYO IS ACTUALLY SO PURE??? LIKE SURE HE GETS VIOLENT, BUT THAT MOMENT WHEN THE DEMONS BREAK IN AND HIS INSTINCT IS TO STAND IN FRONT OF HER!!!!

-ohhh man his reaction when she dies. he was so mad at first and it was like,,, mmmm heart = broken,,

-wHEN HE KISSES TAMAYO’S HAIRPIN- S O B -

Spider Mom(?)

-oKAY FIRST OF ALL!!! SHE WAS A YOUNG DEMON!!!!!

-NOT THE AGE OF A MOTHER. SHE WAS A C H I L D .

-the way she accepts her death made me cry

-when she started crying,,, my heart;;

Obanai Iguro

-haha snek boy

-his backstory made me cry, as did many, but-

-i actually really like his bandages and scar!!! i feel a little bad that he feels the need to cover them up, but they’re super cool!!!!!! he’s (a little rude but) super cool!!!

-his love for mitsuri,,, my heart,,,,,, ugh he loves her so much, give that to him gotogue p l e a s e, he d e s er v e s h er r r r r r r-

-sad bb. please protect him.

-ok but his survivor’s guilt,,, very sad, i want to hug him.

-ngl, at first i was like “bad man, don’t like him. don’t harm my children, mean man.” but then everything clicked when Ubuyashiki said that Giyuu would also commit seppuku if nezuko killed a person. (shhhshsh i’m a little slow)

-his haircut looks really nice!!! it may be an odd thing to add as something i like about him but!!!!! several meanings to cutting one’s hair is “the time with their loved one, which is over and gone, and the new growth is the life after. The cutting of hair can also signify separating from past actions or thoughts.“ Gotogue-Sensei (who i’ve noticed puts meaning into characters’ literal everythings) may have used it for that purpose :D

Kagaya Ubuyashiki

-he calls the hashiras/pillars his cHILDREN!!!! THAT’S ACTUALLY SO CUTE AND PURE????

-he’s brave,,, he may not be able to fight, but he’s so so brave!!

-maybe it’s just something i’m a sucker for, but his face!!!!!! very cool!!!!!! he’s very very cool!!!!!!

Kiriya Ubuyashiki

-once again. BABY.

-8 YEARS OLD!!!! NOT 14!!!! NOT 12!!!!!! E I G H T -

-so brave for a BABY!!! he’s out there (as are his sisters!!) doing something i could never.

-ohhh mannnn when he starts crying. i was already crying, but like,,, owie

Genya Shinazugawa

-genya is honestly probably my favorite character,,

-he just wants to impress his aniki,, and apologize to him-

-he definitely feels so guilty about what he said to sanemi, and thinking about how my boy probably thinks about how bad he feels every day and about how his nemi hates him,,,,, my h e a r t .

-hE CAN EAT DEMONS AND TURN INTO ONE!!!!!! FREAKING!!!!!! COOL!!!!!! HE’S SO COOOOOLLL!!!!

(hm? death? no? he didn’t die? haha what are you talking about? no? he’s alive? shut up no shut up shut up he’s alive.)

Zenitsu Agatsuma

-nnNNNEEEEEZUKOO-CHAAAAAAANNN~~!!!

-ok ok ok the anime overdramatized his love for nezuko. he’s a bit weird towards her, but i’m pretty sure he never chased her,, he’s honestly 88% pure, leave him alonneeeee

-i laugh every time he falls asleep and fights. my crybaby zenitsu suddenly serious catches me off guard most of the time.

-he ALSO has a sad past!!!! ugh, stop hurting my heart!!!!! yet another kiddo to protect with my life!!!

Inosuke Hashibira

-PIG ASSAULT PIG ASSAULT!!!!

-was not expecting a pretty face. very pleasantly surprised.

-OHHH MAN GOOD GRIEF HE A L S O HAS A SAD BACKSTORY JEEZ LOUIS- AND THEN HE CRIES!!! STOP!!!!!! MY PIG BOY DON’T CRY!!!!

-whenever inosuke cries i die a little,, he’s my pretty faced boar babey he can’t feel sad,,,,

nejiten fanfic binging guide

My recommended Nejiten fics. All stories are complete and are good enough to be reread again and again:)

Narutoverse

Exceptions by IncessantOblivion — The first Nejiten fic I have ever read, also one of the closest to my hearts. Though the author admits it, it does have themes of sexism and homophobia, but not strong. It portrays Tenten as extremely inexperienced and though I’m not a fan of authors who write her that way, I’m glad she is shown as independent otherwise. Despite the criticism and obvious flaws, the romantic scenes are written perfectly and I get a huge wave of feels every time I reread it. Besides the slight hints of sexism, this story is the most favourited Nejiten story on FFn for a reason: you’re so emotionally connected to it. My chest literally constricts every time I read it, it’s so good.

Land of Pretend + Reality by trilliumgt — The first story, (Land of Pretend), despite being without a super solid storyline, is just so heart-wrenching. I’m pretty sure I cried the first time I read this and the sequel but even if it didn’t trigger as much as an emotional reaction, it was surprisingly not boring. Though “Reality” wasn’t as “feel-triggering”, it was very well thought out.

About a Daddy and a Nanny by syaoran no hime — Perhaps one of my favourite Nejiten fics of all time. I was originally skeptical of this fic because of the title since Daddy and Nanny fics can be ridiculously degrading. They tend to be overly cliche where the female character is a useless Mary Sue. Yet when I gave it a shot, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was most definitely not cliche in the slightest. It may not be the best fic I’ve read in terms of romanticness, however, the humour is unbeatable. Before class, I had read this on my phone and couldn’t stop laughing because the author writes Tenten to have an alter-ego nanny, (very minor spoiler), and she is absolutely hilarious. The romance lies in the unspoken words and the reminiscence, not in the make-outs, but in a way, that just makes it what it is. It’s the type of fic that makes you wanna laugh and cry and smash your screen at the same time. The story is so so sooo good.

SharpBladed Spirit by FenixPhoenix — Dark and a little gruesome, therefore rated M. It isn’t so much a romance, rather an adventure story with a side serving of the two love interests. Nonetheless, it’s captivating, character development is phenomenal, and every character is strong and moves on the plot.

On Qipao Flirting and Buying Drinks by needdl — While this is only a two-shot, it is such a beautifully written story. The best part of it isn’t the romance, but the reactions to change and change itself. Characters change in subtle ways and the creative ways of expressing Neji’s reactions to Tenten becoming more and more feminine make me smile constantly. What I also love is that it has a slight feminist viewpoint to it in the fact that she embraces her femininity, which is the whole point of feminism (in which femininity is embraced just as much as masculinity and the belief that all are equal, which hopefully you are up to date to because it’s 2020 for kami’s sake). Anyways, the first part of the story is absolute pure fluff but if you read the second part, (especially on Ao3)...well that is some hot stuff let me tell ya.

In Front of Every Star by NessieGG — A short story with lots of fluff, angst, and feminism. (YAY!) It loaded with small snippets of moments, sadness, and really makes you think about your own values. Would you leave the love of your life to save your home country? What I love about this story is that the pain the characters feel may be selfish but they are completely realistic. It reflects off of our own lives, trying to let go of our feelings after letting go of the person. Every piece of it is flawless.

Ms X by Blade Rewind — This was the second-ever Nejiten fic I’ve read, and though short in the chapters, it certainly gives a lot of content. It’s light, airy, fun, and a little bit cliche, but in a strangely good way. The writer executes a classic plot with grace and humour and there isn't’ a point where you wanna die because of the unoriginality.

On Sex by Lotos-eater — I was skeptical about this at first because sometimes titles like these indicate really bad smut, which is almost as bad as an overused cliche. However, this was exactly the opposite. While there is certainly mature content, it isn’t in the way you’d think. Sex is portrayed as an obstacle in this story and approaching it is awkward in every way. Kissing is awkward, touching is awkward, in fact, this is a romantic story with no romance whatsoever. I don’t know how the author pulled it off, but it was simply amazing. It is hard to read not because it is bad, but because you can really empathize with the Neji and Tenten as they try to have sex with non-existent chemistry. Yet my favourite part of this story is the amount of complexity within each character and the way Gai is written in a much more different light. I never imagined Gai to have a dark side and this story executes it perfectly.

Alternate Universes

Complexities of Blackmail by Aquarius Galuxy — I read the summary for this one and was impressed at the word count so I quickly jumped aboard my first AG Nejiten fic train and just...wow. So like, I don’t know where to start. It’s a military space AU and what I love is that up to a certain point, everyone’s backstory until Naruto Shippuden era is almost exactly the same as the Narutoverse. Team Gai is a predeveloped relationship but had deteriorated. Blackmail is very explicit, lots of smut, but damn is it quality smut. It might not be your cup of tea, but if you don’t mind it, this story is amazing. Neji is slightly out of character, but you can understand why with his motivations, even though I personally wouldn’t write a story with the situation. Development is great, chemistry is over the top fantastic, and there’s a perfect amount of angst. It is a bit lengthy but so worth it. Every other character involved is so unique, I loved seeing Izumo and Kotetsu getting a bigger role, Ino was so in character; highly, highly recommend.

f 2-8, ISO 100 by Aquarius Galuxy — Of course, we have another AG fic and this one has sex scenes, but not as *cough* rough *cough* as Blackmail. The maturity mostly comes from the fact that Tenten is a photographer and art can sometimes be...graphic. Yet I have an appreciation for this fic since it states that art is art and the fact that AG came up with the photography is like aiming a shot, (since Tenten never misses). Neji is a politician and pianist, which is a suitable career that both covers his genius and soft side. Once again, great chemistry. This fic flows like a river, it’s so beautiful.

Cutting Water by Nessie GG — A historic AU in which Tenten the leader of a prestigious clan in China and Neji is an ambassador from Japan. Reads more as an adventure and friendship story resulting in romance in the last few chapters rather than just romance. The details are amazing and the style of the writing makes it so elegant, perfect for the time period. It’s the type of story that mysterious and sophisticated at the same time.

Perfidy by KNO — Similar to Cutting Water as it is a historical AU. Its backstory is vaguely similar to Mulan, however, in this case, the hot general doesn’t forgive her immediately. Tenten, who was saved from dressing as a guy to serve in the army, is sent to train another generation of female soldiers. It’s a great story, a great plot, though it does tend to run on uselessly at times. However, it is solid otherwise.

Breathe Again by Kicho-Keynote — A modern AU in which Neji is an army veteran. The story is slightly dark, as it deals with PTSD and triggering situations. Each character is complex and the development is simply amazing. Everyone has visible flaws, relationships are so well-developed, and it has brought me to tears several times. There are several mentions of ShinoTen, and even though it’s not my favourite couple, it plays a huge role in the story so just a warning. Thankfully, it doesn’t go into detail about their personal lives and it still is a Nejiten story, despite other love interests. It also runs on at parts but overall, it’s extremely well developed.

Authors

Aquarius Galuxy @aquariusgaluxy — The “Papabay” of Nejiten fics. Every story is beautiful, perfect, and intimate. Chemistry is always there. Everything is so beautiful and each has a different mood. Nothing is half-assed and it is just...I wish AG was still active I love those works so much.

KNO @zealousheart — If Aquarius Galuxy is the “Papabay” of Nejiten fics, then KNO is the “Ghost Bananas”. KNO’s work is creative, light, complex, and meaningful. The best part is, if you compare the earlier works to the more recent ones, you can really see the difference in skill level and how much KNO has improved.

Goldberry — Do you need one-shots? Goldberry has plenty. Though there are only a couple stories, there are one-shot collections, drabbles, and a whole bucketload of one-shots I haven’t even got to. It’s pure Nejiten Heaven

NessieGG — More one-shots but guess what? They’re all AU one-shots! Now, this is Nejiten AU heaven!

needdl — All of needdl’s works are filled with fluff. They are adorable, sweet, yet some of them are sincere and romantic.

Cyberwolf — There are so many short light drabbles from Cyberwolf, each an idea that seemingly came from random thoughts but ended up on FFN for all of us to read.

MOST OTHER AUTHORS MENTIONED IN THE SUGGESTED STORIES ALSO HAVE OTHER NEJITEN WORKS, JUST NOT AS PLENTIFUL OR MOSTLY NEJITEN AS THE ONES LISTED ABOVE. I SUGGEST YOU CHECK OUT THEIR PROFILES AS WELL!

How do you think the captains would react if you got hopelessly lost like on the way home or something? Also I love you and your blog makes me smile. 💖

Ahhhh, thank you so much, you are so kind!

Captains Reacting To You Getting Lost:

Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto: He would be very disappointed that you couldn’t find your way home and will be arranging a formal training time where he’s literally just walking you through the Soul Society, pointing out landmarks and dropping off paper work to the other captains.

Shunsui Kyoraku: He would sort of delighted, chuckle, ruffle your hair, and call you hopeless in a lighthearted, teasing manner. He genuinely finds it adorable. He’d start asking if you were just so busy thinking of him that you got distracted and make you forget any ill feelings you had toward getting lost, if you had them! He would likely offer to pick you up and walk you home next time, but it’s up to you!

Yoruichi Shihoin: She would find it hysterical and ask you to recant the details because she honestly wants to know just how you managed that. She’s used to scatterbrained geniuses, so she takes it in stride and finds it a bit endearing. She’ll bring it up casually in conversation until the end of time, though. She’d probably jokingly give you a golden star sticker the next time you made it home without getting lost.

SoiFon: She would make it a bigger deal than it likely was, partly because she would be flustered from you coming home late, and partly because she can’t belive someone SHE decided to be involved with can’t navigate the Gotei 13. She would take you on her next circuit of soul society, which would be useless to you in a practical sense, because she would be using hiding places and underground networks mostly.

Rose Otoribashi: He would ask you if you’re alright and tell you that if you were truly lost, you never would’ve made it home, so really you just went on a nice little scenic walk! He’d like to try that with you sometime soon, actually. Maybe you could make a picnic of it? He could even bring his guitar while you two simply floated through the Gotei 13.

Gin Ichimaru: He finds it’s pretty funny that you can’t navigate the Gotei 13 and would start offering to walk you home, only to conveniently get a soul butterfly summons half through. Even more conveniently, he would walk you home using drastically different routes when he does this. If there was ever a time you couldn’t find your way home, he would eventually appear back by your side, his smile a little too wide, apologizing for being gone so long.

Retsu Unohana: Although she’s concerned you turned up late, she understands how overwhelming the random dead ends can be throughout the Gotei 13. She prefers using the janitorial routes, herself, and would be very willing to show you around if she had time. If not, she would ask Isane to show you, before kissing your cheek and softly reminding you to send her a butterfly if you think you’re lost again.

Isane Kotetsu: When you’re late getting home, she starts thinking of increasingly bizarre situations as to what could have possibly happened to you. By the time you get to your door, she’s already gathered a search party of squad 4 members, ready to sweep the entire Gotei 13, because what if you got held hostage by the 12th division in some unspeakable experiment involving the time space continuum? What if an elite band of hollows even worse than arrancar are leading you to some dark forest for some horrid suprise? She cries a little bit when she sees you from relief and from feeling silly, but she forgives you easily and is glad to walk you home or have a squad 4 member walk you home from now on.

Shinji Hirako: He’s amused and unbelieving that you could get lost on your way home. He almost wonders if you’re lying. Were you walking blindfolded? Are you five years old again and need a chaperone? Really, if he has to come lead you home by the arm to get you there on time, then so be it. Of course, he’s going to tell anyone around he’s there to make sure you don’t get lost and playfully pinch your cheeks while he’s at it. And, no you’re not allowed to pout like that, because he’s doing you a favor.

Aizen Sousuke: He doesn’t outwardly seem to care or react much, aside from a smattering of false platitudes. If anything, he enjoys that you get lost. He takes it as a sign that you’re less intelligent and more pliable to his whims. If you can’t find your way through the Gotei 13, then you surely can’t manage any of his scheming. He’ll kiss your forehead and silently wonder how you even managed to pass your school exams.

Byakuya Kuchiki: He’ll be displeased you were late making it home and insist that you at least memorize your route home, whether it be with him or otherwise. He has a schedule he must stick to and if you can’t abide it, then you won’t have time to see each other that day, which is what he’s most upset about. Of course, he’s not going to say that in any way shape or form before criticizing your lack of spacial awareness and memory.

Sajin Komamura: He doesn’t quite understand how you could get lost, mostly because his sense of smell guides him extraordinarily well, but he’s sympathetic and tells you what truly matters is that you didn’t give up the moment you didn’t know where you were; it’s important to keep moving forward. Dogs are excellent guides, so why don’t you take one of Sajin’s stray friends with you next time? Even if you say no, you’ll notice a very happy, welcoming dog whenever you get lost again.

Tetsuzaemon Iba: He walks you to and from your division almost everyday, so he apologizes when you get lost on one of the days he couldn’t be there to guide you. It’s his job as your very manly partner to support you, after all. He hugs you tightly and gets scolded by Lieutenant Ise when he misses a captain’s meeting to walk you home a few weeks later.

Lisa Yadomaru: She finds it relatable and suggests you make the most if it. Maybe next time you both can get lost together and find some lonely corner(s) to have fun it. Besides, how do you think she gets the best candids of all the captains and lieutenants? Life is an adventure and she’s stumbling through it right there with you.

Kensei Muguruma: He’s worse than you when it comes to finding his way home. He tells Mashiro to make you one of the maps she made him (it’s a very poorly made map with a total of 4 routes and lots of cute characters drawn on it that mostly cover over the routes, making it effectively useless). He would absolutely shrug it off as no big deal, unless it started to cut into his time with you. Then he’d pull out his (horrible) map and start looking for you so he can give you an earful about how your his s/o because he wants to see you not wait for you.

Kaname Tosen: He was wary about getting lost in the Gotei 13 when he first started, so knows the layout very well. He smiles a bit patronizingly when you tell him what happened and lightly jokes at your expense before offering a comforting embrace and peaceful night in. He wouldn’t offer to walk you home, because he enjoys scolding you a bit and wouldn’t mind you getting lost again in the future. (Spends a bit too much time with Aizen, doesn’t he?)

Toshiro Hitsugaya: He would be pretty smug about it. Wow, you got lost on your way home? He remembers when he had a heard time finding his way home, when he was three. What does it feel like having less sense of direction than a three year old? Of course, he can’t just let you wander aimlessly, since he’s your s/o and obviously he needs to look out from you now on. He supposes he can walk you home next time, since you need him so badly. He will dutifully pick you up, with grace befitting a Gotei 13 captain, and wait till you’re not in public anymore to tease you for even needing him.

Kenpachi Zaraki: He is the reigning king of not knowing where the hell he is, at any given moment. The 11th division literally has a task force dedicated to tracking his lost ass down. He’s actually impressed you found your way home, when he gets there 5 hours after you, with a posse of his squad that guided him. Maybe you should just come to his barracks from now on, since it only takes him an average of 3 hours to find his way there, yeah? (Yes, your name is put on assignment for the task squad, even if this is your first time getting lost.)

Kisuke Urahara: He wonders if you really got lost or were distracted by something? He walks you home a few times before he realizes that, no, you don’t pretend to be lost in order to break the rules as he’s prone to do. His time in squad 2 makes him a rather good source for directions, so he kisses your face a bazillion times and promises to show you around on his next day off. Maybe you can help him test out a few gps systems he’s got in the works in the mean time?

Mayuri Kurotsuchi: It’s like you just told him that you don’t know what the Gotei 13 even is. He creates a detailed map for you to carry with you everywhere, has Akon make an even more detailed 3D map for you to wander around in virtual reality, makes you take computerized tests to ensure you studied properly, and sets you loose with a collar that zaps you if you stray from your designated route. He also sets up a scan for your brain, to ensure that you have not been turned into a mindless sleeper agent for one of the Gotei 13′s enemies. He would beyond a doubt lecture you and insult you over this.

Jushiro Ukitake: He’s glad to see you safe at home. His imagination isn’t anything compared to his lieutenants, but he was worried all the same and welcomes you back warmly, while telling you stories about when he’d gotten lost around the Gotei 13 as well as some old stories about Shunsui, Nanao, and others, to make you feel less embarrassed. He mentions it in passing as a cute story to his lieutenants when they ask how his night was and suddenly you have two very eager chaperones bickering about what’s the best way to walk you home, and getting you lost in the process.

Rukia Kuchiki: She’s a bit haughty about announcing that her brother taught her very well in regards to navigating the Gotei 13, but laughs with you instead of at you about your getting lost. She informs you that the Gotei 13 isn’t even that confusing compared to the rukongai districts, so it’s a good thing you got lost somewhere safe. What is she going to do with you? Other than tease you about it, of course. She pulls you down to kiss her, calls you ridiculous, and presents a mascot riddled guide to the Gotei 13 with helpful tips and interesting information that she hands out to her new recruits.
