[ PAIRING ] Meguru Bachira x reader [ SYNOPSIS ] You're Bachira's good luck charm. idk there's no plot, don't think too hard about it. [ WORD COUNT ] 1.6k [ CONTENT ] Aged up!Bachira, he went pro (ayyyy), knife play, blood play, sadomasochism, praise, marking, scars, y/n is kinda needy (but so is he), vaginal sex, size kink (I believe in big dick Bachira), teasing, nipple play, overstimulation, pet names (baby), creampie.
Tumblr media
You hated away games, loathed them. They were an inevitable occurrence, something you should have grown used to over time. But still the night before every flight you spiraled, lamenting that you couldn’t follow Bachira around. It wasn’t because you were insecure or lacked trust; you just hated sleeping alone. There was nothing more disappointing than rolling over in bed at three in the morning, reaching for him, and then remembering, Ah, yeah. He’s in Sapporo. You had always assumed you’d build up a callus, one to protect you from the melancholy known to overwhelm you on those lonely nights.
Unfortunately every away game was a wound reopened.
In six hours Bachira would be flying first class to Fukuoka, sleeping with his face pressed against the window. His team’s manager was less than enthused with this arrangement. He thought it was ridiculous to spend an extra day at home and fly out the day of the game, but denying the left back was easier said than done. Bachira’s beguiling whimsy and immense talent rendered most people under his spell. The world was effectively his for the taking, his manager no different.
“I’m gonna miss you,” you  sighed.
You tried to ignore the looming dread that hung around you, but it was nigh impossible while straddling him. He fluttered his long, dark eyelashes and looked up, leaving you bewitched by his golden gaze. It radiated a fervent adoration no other man was capable of. He was artful in his mastery, his affection unmatched.
“I know,” he said, pinching your cheek.
You batted his hand away. 
“You sure you don’t want to get some rest? I’ll feel moderately guilty if you fuck up tomorrow.”
“Stop,” he whined. “I’ll be fine. It’s a short flight and it’s not like I’m gonna be playing the second I get there.”
He would be fine, he always was. He had his ways; the absurd things he did in the name of good luck never failed him. So you surrendered yourself and bought into his vision like you had many times before. There was nothing to worry about, all you needed to do was trust him.
Still you couldn’t hide your melancholic expression. You’d miss him all the same, win or lose. 
“C’mon. You believe in me, don’t you?” he asked. He gave you a cat-like grin, one that would make you sign your life over to him.
“Yes, yes, yes. I believe you.”
“Then what is it?” he asked, tickling your sides.
You groaned. “I’m—ugh—I told you. I'm going to miss you, alright”
“Aww. I could come inside you if that’ll help,” he teased.
“You were going to do that anyway!”
He playfully stuck out his tongue as he slipped his hands under your shirt. His hands were big and weighty, but his fingers were elegant. His palms rough; his touch tender. He tugged at the hem of the shirt and giggled.
“You thief,” he said, pulling it off of you. “I was looking for this while I was packing.”
“Not my fault it’s the perfect nightgown.”
He tossed it in the general location of his half-packed suitcase.
“At least it’ll smell like me now,” you said coyly.
He sat up and buried his face in your neck, taking in the scent of your skin. He let out a dreamy sigh as he exhaled. It was such a lovely noise, one you wanted to hear again and again. You reached down and stroked his soft cock. You pulled back his foreskin and rubbed your thumb around his sensitive tip. He shivered with delight.
“I need all my stuff to smell like you. Go roll around in my suitcase for a little bit.”
“How about I give you some pairs of dirty underwear to remember me by instead?” you snickered as you squeezed the base of his cock.
He rutted against your fist. “Fine, but they have to be those tiny, cotton ones. They feel the best against my skin.”
“Anything for you.”
He looked so sweet lying beneath you. You braced yourself, placing your hands on his pecs, and felt the rise and fall of his chest. His warm skin was dappled with water, his sinewy body fresh out of the shower. The towel he haphazardly wrapped around his hair had unraveled, each strand exuding the scent of your shampoo. His cheeks were glassy, a sure sign he slathered on your facial serum and night cream. Even his skin smelled like yours. He wriggled under you, trying to guide your attention to his semi-erect cock. You decided you wanted to tease him a bit, make him earn it.
“Don’t you need a good night’s rest so you can win tomorrow?” you asked, dropping your arms to your sides.
He scoffed. “I have my ways,” he said, eyes fixed on the thin scars etched on your upper chest.
You decided to change your tune. Wasting time was criminal.
“Hm. Remind me of what those are. I forgot.”
He grinned and began to dig around the bedside table for his tools. He pulled out a wooden box with a floret of goldenrod painted on the lid. Inside were some single-use scalpels and a modest first aid kit. He pulled you close, hand resting on the small of your back, and licked the cluster of scars. Each one was a thin line about an inch in length and spaced close together like tally marks. They were all perfectly straight, the handiwork of a master. You were proud to bear them.
Bachira held the scalpel between his fingers, his eyes narrowed and focused. You froze like a statue awaiting the chisel of a sculptor. The blade glided across your skin; you barely registered the sensation.
“Deeper,” you urged.
He ran the blade across the slit once more. Blood trickled freely from the wound. He made another cut underneath. It was deeper and hurt more than the first one. He watched as the blood made its way down your breasts and let out a giddy whine as it clung to your nipple. Unable to contain himself he swirled his tongue around it. Your cunt throbbed as he held it in between his teeth. He looked up at you, his eyes wild with adoration. You loved seeing him like this. You felt special, like you were the only person in the world that mattered.
He licked up the trails of blood before rolling his tongue against the cuts. It was like getting stung by bees. You loved finding ecstasy in the ache. You’d forever be in debt to Bachira for aiding you in  your libertine awakening, for leading you hand-in-hand down the proverbial primrose path. He was the first to show how to walk the line between pain and pleasure.
“Wanna fuck you so bad,” he whimpered before sucking on your breast once more.
You lifted his chin and kissed him. You ran your tongue over his lips, the taste of your blood still lingering on them. He eagerly opened his mouth, overtaking yours. His kisses were always sloppy, wet, and needy. His desperate passion knew no bounds and you wouldn't have it any other way. You slowly stroked his cock, his precum sliding in between your fingers.
He panted, “I need it now.”
You kissed his forehead and slid his cock inside your dripping cunt. He tossed his head back and let out a heavenly moan. You bounced up and down, driving his cocktip into your cervix. His girth was a gift from god. You felt so full, almost like you would burst at the seams.
He lapped at the blood trickling from your cuts. You tangled your fingers in his damp hair, letting the strands snake around them. You wanted to become a part of him, for your bodies to meld into one. Both of you were swept up in a euphoric frenzy. As he rutted against you he pinched your swollen clit. He couldn’t help but smile in the face of your desperate yelps.
“Gentle! Gentle!” you said, squirming.
It was too strong a sensation. You were so full as it was; you weren’t sure you could weather another intense sensation. You felt like his cock was buried deep in your stomach.
“Ah,” you winced. “Me—Meguru, it’s too mu—”
He forced you to look at him, his yellow eyes overwhelmed by dark pupils, and sweetly said, “Your body can take it.”
Five words was all it took to bewitch you. He alternated between pinching your clit and massaging it. You felt like you were ascending as your orgasm inched closer.
“You gonna come all over my cock?” he asked.
“Uh-huh,” you whined.
His thrusts were relentless, not a hint of mercy in his touch. It was maddening. You kept babbling his name, begging him for more. Shame was a concept neither of you were familiar with. Neither of you could quiet yourselves. It was a chorus of panting, whimpering, and moaning. As your orgasm crescendoed all you could do was choke out a few expletives and drool.
“That’s it, baby,” Bachira said, jaw clenched and completely charmed by your demeanor.
He held you close and took the lead, driving his cock into your cunt, lips pressed against your still bleeding cuts. You felt like you were operating on a different plane of existence. The only thing that brought you back to reality was the warm feeling of Bachira’s cum filling you up. You collapsed in his arms, and tried to catch your breath.
“Was… that… helpful?” you murmured.
“Oh yeah. I’m gonna bring you home a win,” he purred against your ear.

Prologue: Bitter Vows
Tumblr media
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 𖥻 Kamisato estate
As dawn hits the island of Narukami, townspeople all gathered and talked amongst themselves. Chatter in every corner can be heard in the island as the new inaugurated head of the Kamisato Clan was announced to be wed. Fabrics and fast footsteps of servants is heared in the Estate of Kamisato as everyone was busy preparing the wedding of their master; Kamisato Ayato. He is to be wed to the Fukuoka Clan's heiress — Fukuoka Y/n.
The folks all wondered why he would choose to take a girl from a clan who's experiencing bankruptcy as his bride when he can choose all different girls from more established ones to strengthen his hold on his own.
Yet, he only smiled when the question is shot at a table. To those who hear it, it's a love story they all read about from the books in Yae Publishing House, fables and flowery words thrown at each other.
But in reality these are just bitter vows, this marriage only rubs salt to his injury. He can't marry the girl he truly loved. He was forced to take on his father's legacy for his sister's sake and those who depend on the Kamisato. Words do really mean nothing when you don't understand it, perhaps it's like telling someone "I hate you" in a language they don't understand which similarly can draw a silver lining between hate and love. His bride, his marriage, the vows — they are all meaningless. He thought.
With their parents passing away the weight of carrying a whole clan downed on his shoulders. From a distance, he could only watch the the servants busying themselves in dressing up his bride with expensive silks with golden embroidery that compliments her complexion as a noble daughter. In contrast to his perplexion, she wore a smile; a genuine one, and he knew it's because she is happy to be married to him. After all, when different clans heard about his intent on marrying someone they all sent him a letter endorsing their own daughters like its red light district. But he chose the Fukuoka Clan instead knowing they are less ambitious than most of the clans.
Alas, the hour of the ceremony has finally come. He snapped away from his thoughts and smiled showing his degree of status alongside with posture. He took her hands, she wasn't nervous at all instead her squeezed his hands hoping it will calm him down, that's when he realized how fumbling his fingers are.
The wedding was smooth, everyone congratulated the newly wed. Even though he tried to smile in the crowd, his eyes looked lonely and in agony. He didn't realize his — now spouse was looking at him in her peripheral view the whole time while greetings the guests. Her smile from earlier dropped slightly when she saw him staring at a particular person from a distance. Without words or evidence she knew exactly who it was. Eyes spoke louder than mouths will ever do anyways. She loosened her grip on his arm and promptly excused herself to have a chat with her parents.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 𖥻
Once they arrived back at the estate, she was greeted by his cold attitude. He didn't mean to behave like this but his emotions, his heart was in agony seeing that the girl he so longed for wasn't the one he married. After all, what would society say if he were to marry a commoner? Some officials still insist that he's just a boy without any knowledge on how to handle the Kamisato Clan and marrying someone who's a shrine maiden won't help a bit on the situation.
"We shall leave seperate lives, I won't meddle yours and you won't meddle mines." He spoke.
Before she could answer he left the room, guilt on his eyes but it washed away as fast as it came. So she sat on the bed, still in her wedding gown and looked down. She've admired him for so long now, she didn't know if he could still remember how he helped her up when other kids laughed at her. Perhaps a part of his inner child does but they don't really last do they? She sighed, wiping a tear from her cheek and she silently waited for the servants to knock on the door.
Rushing servants came in to help her removed the balloon of a gown and she put on a fake smile so no one would notice her shoulder of sadness. Laying down the bed she wondered how long will this type of arrangement last?
"If; the time comes he doesn't learn how to love me. Then, the lantern shall blow away with the wind." She spoke silently, looking out the window in preparation for how many years and nights can she handle being alone. Day after day she tried and tried to make him open up, although he makes sure to give her attention only when his sister - Ayaka is around so she won't feel anything out of order, she's still young after all. Soon, the people started to adapt to their new first lady at the manor. Y/n tries to make her husband be more responsive even for daily questions. When she did managed to take a response out of him, feels relieving and the goals achieved.
Smooth, life was smooth. A year, after a year, after another year, and a new year have passed. They developed a respectful relationship. All was well. But, life is boring isn't it if everything runs smoothly, conflict will arrive. It's inevitable.
Her hair is straight and like crystal, she wore a pink headress that compliments her maiden outfit. Y/n could only stare at the girl in question as the news of her residing at the estate befell. Ayato never mentioned this when she asked, and yet, it's as if all the efforts washed away like it was nothing in the first place. Perhaps, she thought, he can't really manage to call this as his home without her. Afterall, in their story, she's just a side character that hindered in the way of someone else's love story.
"Pleasure to meet you, Lady Y/n." The maiden greeted and she bowed her head as well to show respect.
"Welcome to the estate, although Ayato has never mentioned anything—." She was cuttee of by ayato who cleared his throat.
"She will be staying here for good, please mind your attitude when talking to her." He warned, although it's spoken in a flat tone, the idea was there 'don't make her upset' that's what it says.
Days later, it's like she's an invisible individual on the estate, her servants, all catered for the girl her husband took into their estate without even thinking of her. She was left with her personal maid; Even the officials won't acknowledge her anymore. Now that his seat as the head commisioner is sealed, no one would dare question their relationship.
"Did you hear that? The Lord Kamisato just took home the love of his life!" A fan draped over the woman's mouth as she talks alongside her friends.
"Mhm! I heared that he never really loved her wife, can you believe it? It's a shame we all thought they are in love with each other." Another voice also exclamed as she walked on the streets to purchase daifuku because she's craving it.
"Are you okay m'lady?" Chūso, her personal maid asked her. She just nodded in response.
"I'm fine, Chūso. You should not worry about me. Your mother is still sick, why don't you go visit her at Kondu Village for a while? I won't mind." She smiled, tapping Chūso's palm.
"Really!? M'lady you're too kind!" She exclaimed squeezing back her lady's palm back while her other hand hold's the umbrella.
"Yes, I'm thinking about, leaving Narukami for a while.. to think about something. It's been 5 years, yet you're the only one who notices my shortcomings and my problems, the one who cares for what I feel. So you deserved it." Y/n smiled at her and Chūso smiled back. They continued chatting and soon they are back at the estate.
The maids are in rush, and some of the officials are there as well. Y/n looked around for what is happening and yet like invisible wall, no one answered. Ayato looked like he could murder anyone at the moment and the elders looked at her with disappointment.
"Ayato? What seems to be the prob—"
Yet she was caught of guard when he grabbed her tightly.
"Ayato! It hurts!" She was trying to make him let go but he wouldn't budge.
"Why did you do it?" He asked her, voice dropping and furious. "Did what? I didn't do anything! Let go of my wrist—!"
"Don't lie to me! The servants saw you putting something on Maya's drink! Couldn't you think?! She could've died from what you did! She and my child!" He shouted at her face. She flinched, so all this time, that's why he suddenly brought her here, that's why all the maids are treating her like she's fragile glass. All this time. Y/n, the fool with the slowest and greatest heart. First to be blamed, last to know.
"What.. But! I didn't put anything in her drink! I didn't even know she was pregnant! Why would I even do such thing!" She also shouted back.
"You don't know? Oh I know! Perhaps because you are afraid your little clan will be in shambles once Mr. Kamisato decided to divorce you. Now you have to be a desperate little cunt to put pills to kill the baby on lady Maya's stomach!"
One of the elders pointed out their finger at her, she shook her head and told them that she has nothing to do with it but no one listens.
"Don't lie, a lot of servants saw you! Go on, ask them yourself." A chief told her.
She turned to the servants and asked them lowly. "Did you.. saw me? Trying to kill Maya?" She spoke slowly.
They all nodded in response, and her shoulders fell as well as tears beginning to form in her eyes. "Even if that's not the truth.. huh? I guess.. I wasn't generous enough? Or, you can feel that Ayato never favors me, and you decided to side the latter who received more attention?" Y/n told them. Wiping her tears and they all looked down on the floor. If the walls of the estate could speak, it could tell how much kind she was with them and yet, with a little bribery, they all turned their backs.
"I see. To think I was still in the wrong position when my husband got someone else pregnant wasn't an issue makes me think, I wasted 5 years for treating people nicely." That's all what she said, then the guards dragged her out the estate for good. She knew this would happen, but she didn't expect that they would accuse her of murder. That's something she would never do.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ៹ 𖥻 Chinju Forest
She sat down on one of the rakan statue, looking back at her life, everything faded. She laughed bitterly
"I guess, this what happens to those who hope, is this my sin? Taking someone else's place in that wedding, taking someone's heart that doesn't belong to me?" She asked, after minutes the exhaustion downed on her and she fainted in the forest. Amidst the blackness, she could hear footsteps and a soft jinggle of bells.
Kami-sama, have you decided to send someone to properly bury my body?..
━━━━━━ ៹ 𖥻 CUT !
- this is my first fanfic lmao 🥹 idk if the things I said made sense but hopefully it does 😭. I've been wanting to make a fanfic about this because I don't see one that's why here I am!

keigo absolutely loves strawberries. there’s no denying it. living in fukuoka, strawberries are kind of a big thing so you already know he’s on it. it also doesn’t help that strawberry season and his rut is around the same time. so not only does he have this harmless obsession with strawberries, but he’s bringing you home gifts to court you with that are strawberry themed. he will come home with glowing eyes and this chipper smile with boxes and boxes of strawberries just to share with you during strawberry season. you know what else he loves as much as he loves strawberries? you! he loves to take you to pick strawberries with him and loves to buy you absolutely the most corniest strawberry accessories from small fashion stores (that you honestly could have made yourself). but it warms your heart seeing his wings flap in excitement watching you try on a pair of tiny strawberry earrings or wanting to feed you the bright, fresh berries.

Mommy dearest 7
After the unexpected visit from All Might, you need time to think about your decision. Summer vacation is also around the corner, so what better way to relax and enjoy it than taking your little Tenko on a trip to Fukuoka. Things don’t go quite as expected.
The visit from All might have caused a change in Tenko’s behavior, he had become clingier and it just made you feel like a bad mother for not noticing his abandonment issues beforehand. Slowly but surely Tenko began relaxing again and not clinging to you every five seconds, to make sure you were still with him. It took around 2 months, and only really seemed to ease after All Might's first visit as the designated ‘cool’ uncle. It seemed like Tenko realized that no, he was not going to be taken from you when All Might went home alone.
Their interactions were a bit stiff in the beginning, as All Might had a hard time talking about anything that didn’t involve hero work or heroes in general. But after he asked Tenko about his hobbies and asked him even more about his favorite games, they began getting along quite well. It made you hopeful for Tenko’s future, it would do him some good to have a male role model. So if All Might could be that for Tenko then you were eternally grateful. 
Around a month after All Might visited for the first time, and once more in the span of that one month,school was out and it was now summer vacation. And so Tenko’s pestering about going on vacation became constant “Can we go on vacation please mama” he would ask and give you those adorable puppy dog eyes of his. His little ruby eyes were your sole weakness. And after a hectic couple of months, filled with both challenges and love since Tenko arrived in your life. 5 months ago you were a young single woman, living to work and not much else. Now you were a young single mother , with a young child who had various issues of various degrees. But you wouldn’t trade him for the world.  
Tenko’s constant pestering about going on vacation got to you eventually, and one evening you ended up curled in the sofa with a cuddly Tenko stuck at your side. “Tenko, do you still want to go on vacation?” You asked him softly. He turned to look at you with bright eyes, he jumped off the sofa and began doing a little happy dance. No words of confirmation came from him, but his cute little display of excitement told you more than enough.  
Tenko only stopped a minute later and looked contemplative, “Can we go to Fukuoka?” His little voice rang in your ears. Shrugging your shoulders you faced him with a bright smile, “Why not”. The planning for the last minute trip to Fukuoka took around a week to plan, book and pack for. You decided to make it into a road trip, since small cramped seats on an airplane would likely be triggering for Tenko. Just like that a week after your vacation conversation with Tenko happened, you were off towards Fukuoka.
Tenko spent most of his time looking out the car window, watching in fascination all the different scenery. It was a lively drive to Fukuoka, and you were very happy with the decision to go on vacation even if it was last minute. The hotel room that you had reserved for Tenko and yourself was pretty decently sized, and it wasn’t too expensive either so all in all you were pretty happy with it. The first night was spent jumping in the bed with Tenko, just because he wanted to try it and wasn’t allowed to do it at home.
The first day of the vacation was spent in a bunch of arcades, they quickly became a favorite of little Tenko. Some of the older children and their parents approached you, and the children challenged Tenko to various games. Tenko’s video game prowess became widely known, when after 6 hours in 3 different arcades he still stood as the undefeated champion. You bought Tenko a slice of salt caramel and chocolate cake as a price, since it reduced the sweetness and was a dessert Tenko actually liked.
The second day was spent sightseeing, and making a video call to All Might as promised. All Might obviously couldn’t take a vacation day the same way you could, so the compromise was to give him a call. Tenko spent about 20 minutes yapping All Might’s ears off, boasting about how he beat a lot of kids at video games in the arcades yesterday. It warmed your heart to see Tenko boast about his achievement, since it showed that he had become more confident and that their relationship wasn’t as strained as before. You visited a shrine in the evening, and had dinner at a place nearby. Tenko’s eyes sparkled as he recalled the magnificent shrine and talked with you over dinner. 
Yeah, a vacation was indeed a good idea.
On the third day however, things didn’t run nearly as smoothly. It started around lunchtime, Tenko was tugging on your hand and insisted he could find the way to the restaurant. In the end you gave up, and let Tenko drag you around the city alleys and streets. If you got completely lost, you had a phone and GPS to help you. 
Tenko was chatting excitedly about the food he couldn’t wait to taste, when out of nowhere he stopped dead in his tracks. “Mama, who’s that?” The gentle tug at your sleeve made you turn your attention towards Tenko, your eyes following the finger that pointed at something. You eyes widened at the scene, a small child a little bigger than Tenko was sitting and eating out of a dumpster. The child had the most beautiful red wings attached to his back, but his clothes and the child itself was so dirty that the feathers seemed muddy.

Love Live! TV Anime Official Book - Special Interview with Composer Yoshiaki Fujisawa
In celebration of the "Love Live! Anime 10th Anniversary Orchestra Concert," I've translated the special interview with Yoshiaki Fujisawa, the composer for the "Love Live!" anime, from the Love Live! TV Anime Official Book!
This is my first time translating something by myself, so I apologize for any errors.
Direct quotes from the anime are from the FFF fansub.
The main theme contains all of my initial inspiration for "Love Live!". Without it, the soundtrack for the show wouldn't be complete…!
Composer: Yoshiaki Fujisawa
Born in Fukuoka Prefecture. From composing and arranging songs for top artists to providing soundtracks for anime productions, he is a music creator active in a variety of genres. His major works include the TV anime series "GATE: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri," among many others.
Background music, or a soundtrack, which sometimes subtly enhances the story or highlights the emotions of the characters, is an essential part of any production. The last of these special interviews is with Yoshiaki Fujisawa, the musician in charge of the soundtrack for "Love Live!"!
The first keywords were "hot-blooded passion" He was conscious of creating songs that expand the world of the deeply emotional μ's members
―How did you come to be in charge of the music for the "Love Live!" TV anime?
I was originally a song composer, but I'd started to do some work on soundtracks as well, and I was thinking I'd like to try my hand at more of that kind of work when I was approached to do it. I remember being very happy, partly because the timing was good. I'd heard of "Love Live!" through gossip at song competitions. I was under the impression it was about idols, but when the words "club activities" and "hot-blooded passion" came up at our first meeting, I knew exactly what kind of show it'd be. From then on, I completely changed my mindset. I wanted the songs to express the positivity and liveliness typical of teenage girls. I believe this is a time when girls are troubled by small things, thinking various thoughts, and full of emotions, so I wrote the songs with this in mind to expand such feelings.
―Seeing as "Love Live!" is the first time you've been responsible for the soundtrack of a single production by yourself, what were some of the most significant challenges you faced?
Making forty to fifty songs in one go. I'd never made that many songs at once. It was all new to me, so it was like I was building my workflow from scratch while making them. Each song was created differently, and the number of recording sessions and time allotted to each was different, so it was difficult to think about all the details. But most of all, I was afraid I'd make the world too small…. I was very concerned with how I could make the world bigger and wider, even within the scope of what was presented. The setting is the school and the Akiba area, which isn't really that big, but perhaps to μ's, who are high school students, that's all there is to the world. Looking back on it now, I think the key point was how I could bring the breadth of the world to them.
―Which songs in particular did you make with a conscious effort to expand the world?
Take "Hanarebanare (Apart)," for example, which plays in episode twelve of the first season when Honoka quits being a school idol. I thought it best to play up the depression in the song to the point that it sounds as if someone is going to die. It's such a shocking event for Honoka's friends, and I think when someone is truly in despair, they feel like they can't see a way forward. Especially when a girl like Honoka says she is quitting, she must be on the edge. If I were to take it easy on her, it'd just make it sentimental, so I made it as if I was kicking her down to rock bottom (laughs). "Hanayo no Ketsui (Hanayo's Decision)" from episode four of the first season is another song that expands the imagery to push Hanayo's back in a grandly powerful way. On the other hand, for a similar friendship scene in episode three of the first season involving the three second-years, I remember writing "Yuujou (Friendship)" with the aim to focus rather than expand. It feels like it's contained within them alone.
From memorable songs such as the main theme to songs used in unexpected scenes! Many stories about the composing process!
―What was the first song you wrote?
The main theme, "Hajimari no Asa (Morning of Beginning)". This song contains all of my initial inspiration for the soundtrack of "Love Live!". Without it, the soundtrack for the show wouldn't be complete. I finished the melody and composition very fast as if the idea I had in my head just popped out. The other song I was able to write without hesitation was "Nozomi no Mune no Uchi (Within Nozomi's Heart)" from episode eight of the second season. The story is connected to "Snow halation," and it depicts Nozomi's thoughts and feelings from her childhood to the present, as well as her contributions to μ's, so I had a clear image of what the song would be about. I felt like I was able to create it quickly from the get-go. For the second season, I had some sense of the direction, so it was easier to grasp the main points.
―Was it easier to write songs for the second season?
Of course, after doing the first season, I had set a basic atmosphere for the world. However, since the last part of the story is about the end of μ's, it was difficult to find ways to express that. I wanted to do things I didn't do in the first season, so I tried various approaches, including changing the manner in which I wrote the songs. For instance, in the aforementioned "Nozomi no Mune no Uchi," I tried to do what I couldn't do in "Hanayo no Ketsui," which was to create a gentle image that envelops the listener. "Kinpaku (Tension)" from episode four of the second season is also notable. It's the song in the scene where they're worrying if they'll pass the preliminaries or not. There's a part where Nico crushes her strawberry milk carton and it squirts everywhere (laughs). If they don't make it here, it might be the end. In that sense, it's the most tense scene, but I thought it'd be uninteresting if I just built up the tension in a serious way. I wanted to express the panic of the girls in the music as well.
―Was there any song that was used unexpectedly?
"Yume no Ato (Echo of a Dream)," which plays before μ's perform their encore in episode twelve of the second season. It was originally supposed to play during the rooftop scene in episode thirteen. You can imagine my surprise when it instead ended up in the scene before the encore. This song is very memorable to me because I completely reworked the melody in the middle. It's the original up to the chorus, which is the most climactic part, but the rest of the song was totally different at first. It didn't feel right no matter how many times I listened to it, so I erased the whole block because I felt the melody was out of place. Maybe that's why it worked in the encore instead, but I think it's an interesting phenomenon. It's a simple song with only piano and strings, but the string performance was so emotional it gave me goosebumps while recording it, even though I wrote it myself (laughs). We discussed using it in episode thirteen as planned, but the director wanted to end it on a softer note, so we ended up using a variation of the main theme titled "Urei no Yuugure (Dusk of Sorrow)". This song does indeed have more of a feeling of coming to a close.
―Are there any other songs that were used in unexpected ways?
The intro of "Alisa" was used in the scene where Eli first appears. That phrase has been used quite a bit since then, and it seems to have become the song of the Ayase sisters (laughs). Another unexpected song was ">ω</". It was supposed to be a song for Honoka's house, Homura. I didn't think Rin-chan would take it (laughs). Also, if you look at the series as a whole, "Hanayo no Ketsui" is used in many scenes involving the first-years. As I'm sure the fans are aware, it was used in episode five of the second season when Rin-chan is pushed by Hanayo and the others and in episode eleven of the second season when Maki-chan tells Nico she'll continue being a school idol at the beach. When I think about it, I feel "Hanayo's decision" was what ended up pulling all the first-years together. The song gained that meaning as well.
―How did you create "Zenkai no Love Live! (Last Time on Love Live!)," which appears in almost every episode?
I knew it'd be distracting to make it too melodious because of the narration, but it wouldn't be entertaining if it was just static, so I found a good balance between the two. I wanted it to have a lively impression, so I decided to use the trumpet as the main instrument. Then, by coincidence, in the opening sequence of the first season, there was a shot of Honoka blowing a trumpet, and I knew I'd made the right choice. I was surprised to hear her singing along to it in the second season. In a way, this might've been the most unexpected song (laughs).
We also asked Mr. Fujisawa about his favorite scene from the TV anime series & μ's song♪!!
―What scene from the TV anime series particularly left an impression on you?
The scene in episode eight of the first season where Eli joins μ's. Specifically, the sequence of scenes from the songs "Eli no Yaritai Koto (What Eli Wants to Do)" to "μ's no Hajimari (The Beginning of μ's)". The interaction between Eli and Nozomi, as well as hearing the sound of voices practicing in the distance, really left an impression on me. When Eli says, "I'd do what I wanted if it could get me somewhere!" that's a restraint for people. The members of μ's, especially Honoka, took that restraint away. In contrast to Eli, Honoka has the mentality of doing things because she wants to do them, and even if someone is holding back, she gives them the push they need. I had that idea in mind for "μ's no Hajimari," so I put a synth bass in with the orchestra. I thought it needed that heartbeat.
―Do you have a favorite μ's song?
"Bokura no LIVE Kimi to no LIFE (Our LIVE and LIFE with You)" is a great song. "Yume no Tobira (The Door to Our Dreams)" and "Dancing stars on me!" as well. Although "Bokura no LIVE~" isn't the main theme, I like it because it feels like the group's initial inspiration. The melody of "Yume no Tobira" is simply great, and even though they saw their rivals give an incredible performance right in front of them, they sang it without losing their way, so I can feel their will in this song. On that same note, even though they were unsure about it and tried on different costumes, "Dancing stars~" is also a song they sang in their own way in the end.
―What do you think the appeal of "Love Live!" is?
I think the appeal, up to and including the movie, is that the girls tried to do something with determination. From the beginning to the end, even when they faced obstacles, they thought things over, made sound decisions, and kept moving forward without giving up. That passion is obviously appealing. In episode nine of the second season, there's a scene where Honoka, Umi, and Kotori head to the venue in the snow, and even the two who seemed to be following Honoka up to that point expressed their feelings of being involved of their own volition. Rather than going with the flow, they each made their decision on their own accord. That implies they're taking responsibility for themselves. I think that's why they shine so strongly.
―From what you've said so far, it sounds as if you've been making the soundtrack in a way that empathizes with the feelings of μ's. Is that because it's "Love Live!"? Or do you do the same for other productions?
There are characters in every story, of course, so I consider that in other productions as well. But as for "Love Live!," I had the strong impression those nine girls were driving the story, so perhaps I was thinking more about what they were feeling.
―Please give us a closing message!
I'd like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude by saying thank you and also to say "Love Live!" is not only a fun show but also one that cheers you up when you watch it, so if you're ever troubled or stuck in a rut, I'd urge you to watch it. If there are people around you who aren't sure whether to make a move or not, please encourage them to make a move like Honoka did!!

Waiting for Something to Earn
waiting for something to earn by themoonisdead
“We're fine,” Dabi reiterates more forcefully. Aizawa notes that he does not use his Quirk. “We'll get out of the street and be out of your hair. No need to concern yourself with us, sir.”
He cannot allow these two to simply return to the Todoroki home. Explaining the existence of an older son he's never before heard of aside, Aizawa does not trust that Endeavor is any better at handling issues with his family than he is at handling civilians. The fact that said son is an infamous Villain intent on dragging Endeavor to Hell attests to that.
“That's not possible. Do you know why you're bleeding? Where are we now?” And because he regularly works with children who use snarky defiance in defense of themselves, Aizawa quickly adds, “Do not say Japan. We're in Fukuoka.”
Todoroki gasps. “Oh, did we escape, Oniichan? I don't remember.”
Aizawa sighs. That language doesn't leave much up to interpretation. Of course Dabi of all Villains has a traumatic backstory. Dammit.

Side Mission pt 1 (series)
On your own mission in Japan you somehow get roped into Lemon and Tangerine’s own
A/N:Hi this is my first ever fic I’m posting publicly lol, I hope you like it and any constructive criticism is welcome! Adding on Reader’s code name is Cowboy, there’s very slight Cowboy/Tangerine but it’ll mostly be about Cowboy’s mission on the bullet train
Word Count: 1,020 words
After handing your ticket to the train conductor you walked a few more cars down. Finding a suitable spot, put down the carrier on the seat near the window and sat down next to it.
You pulled out your phone to text your handler.
“Got Momo! On the train to drop her off rn. Call you later :)”
“Good Job Cowboy! Talk to you soon”
You put your phone back into your jacket pocket. You hummed in satisfaction at how flawlessly your mission went. Adjusting your hat to cover your eyes you dozed off.
Moments later you jerked awake. After stretching you fixed your hat atop your head only to hear a pair of voices, fairly familiar voices. British to be exact. Your eyes nearly popped out of your head to realize you were on the same train as Lemon and Tangerine. The last time you saw them they beat your ass so bad you needed to see a chiropractor, but you narrowly escaped to complete the job yourself.
The twins noticed you staring at them and walked to your seat to sit down across from you.
Your eyes darted between the brothers. “I remember you.” The mustached man spoke first, “I never forget a face.”
“Yeah…” you started “You beat my ass a few months back! I was sore for a week!”
“So what, to get back at us you killed the kid?” The other said.
Your eyes widened. “Killed? What are you talking about?”
“Yeah, and you took the case too.” Tangerine accused you.
You leaned in close “What the fuck are you talking about? You think we’re on the same mission?”
“Why else would you be on the same train?” Lemon replied.
You rolled your eyes “I’m on a different mission! It’s just a coincidence we’re on the same train. Even if we were, I wouldn't even be talking to you!” You put the pet carrier on the table to show Lemon and Tangerine the cat you stole only hours ago. “This is what I’m even in Japan for, I’m supposed to drop her off at Fukuoka.” The brothers looked close into the carrier to see a spotted cat curled up sleeping peacefully.
Tangerine cocked an eyebrow “A cat? The fuck do you have a cat for?” “Not just any cat,” you said proudly. “An Ashera cat and this isn’t just any plain old Ashera; she’s one of the best show cats in the nation.” “I think I heard about that cat on TV!” Lemon interjected “What’s her name? Momo?” You nodded “And Momo is gonna pay a few months of my rent.” You said as you patted the carrier.
Tangerine let out a breath clearly agitated. “Look, sorry about that, love.” Tangerine apologized. Admittedly your heart did a little flip when he called you love.
You sighed “I’ll accept your apology.”
Then Lemon tapped Tangerine’s shoulder to whisper something to him. After watching the brothers exchange hushed words they both turned back to you. Lemon and Tangerine then leaned in simultaneously.
“Look we need your help.” Lemon started. “Long story short The White Death, you know him?” Tangerine continued after Lemon. You squint your eyes and nod “Russian ex-Yakuza?” Tangerine nodded “That’s right, he’s fucking ruthless.” “He cuts off people's arms, '' Lemon interjected.
“So… what does he have to do with anything?” You asked.
“Well, a few seats away his son who we had to save is bleeding out his fucking eyeballs and the brief case we needed to give him is gone. So… we’re pretty fucked.” Lemon explained.
You leaned back in your seat “Damn… that’s crazy. What are you gonna do?”
“That’s what we need you for. You’re going to help us get the briefcase back.” Tangerine replied
“And The White Death’s son? Bringing back the dead isn’t exactly on my resume soooo…”
Tangerine quickly tapped his finger on the table in front of him. “Just forget about the fucking kid!” You jumped up in surprise at his harsh tone “Damn, calm down!” You raised your hands up to your chest.
“Sorry, sorry.” He apologized and let out a breath that puffed out his cheeks. Lemon then took over for Tangerine “We just need your help getting the case back, you can do that for us, yeah?”
“Hmmmm, it would be a bummer if you guys got your arms cut off. Yeah, I’ll do it under one condition.” You said while stroking an imaginary beard.
Tangerine who was still tapping his fingers spoke up “Making demands now are we, love?”
You smiled while your eyes darted between both men “You know what they scratch your back you scratch mine. I just wanna have a little dinner with both of you.” You sat back in your chair keeping a smile on your face.
The twins' eyes darted between you and each other “Was- Are you… flirting? Was that flirting?” Tangerine asked, completely thrown off by your proposition. “Take it whichever way you want.” You punctuated your statement by patting the table. “So, what’s the move?”
“Simple, all you have to do is find a briefcase with a train sticker on the handle.” Lemon replied
“Train sticker on the handle, got it.” You stood up to put Momo’s carrier on the luggage shelf and took your jacket off. “Your fates are in very capable hands.”
You turned to walk down the train but before you could reach the door separating the cars the tip of your boots caught on the carpeted floor. You caught yourself before you completely face planted. Turning to the twins you gave them a smile and a thumbs up before walking through the train car door.
“Fuckin hell.” Tangerine dragged his hands down his face and stood up “Right, I’ll go search too. Keep an eye on the kid ,Lemon.” Tangerine patted Lemon’s shoulder and walked in the opposite direction.

I love hearing your opinion on different things. My question is what are the live performances where you think each bts member shined the most (for them as individuals, not in comparison), and what was it about their performance that really did it for you? Was it the live vocal/rap or dance or stage presence etc. I also want to encourage your community to join in. What I’ve realised after jimin’s ost doing so well, is that I should really do what rm told us to.The haters will hate and the lovers will love. I spend a lot time worrying about anti’s and haters more than I spend trying to enjoy my time as an army, so I’m trying to change that. I don’t have any bts friends in real life but this is the type of question I’d love to discuss with people and see if I can be swayed lol. I sincerely wanna thank you for injecting some joy into my life and dealing with all the crazies to give us the space to do that. Hope that you’re well and you stay well xx
Now, here are my answers, which are low-key (highkey) the right ones 😂😂😂. Jin- Every single epiphany performance. His vocals, visuals and stage presence. You can really tell Jin studied studied acting. Just wow Rm- Unpopular but the Grammy performance with Lil Nas x. He rapped really confidently that day and he was so suave. The reason why I searched up the bts members names, and now look at me. Suga- Hands down Grammy performance 2022. 30yr old yoongi can hurt me. He danced so so well esp during the dance break but his rap verse in butter was just crazy good. Bias wrecked me entirely. Jhope- Outro:Tear Dior outfits… Need I say more. Iconic. It’s one of hobi’s best verses and he delivered!!! Stage presence was just crazy. Jimin-Part of me wants to say Lie cause that performance on the red bullet tour is just something else, another part of me wants to say serendipity cause the sexy and cute duality is just stupid good, but then there’s filter which gave me EVERYTHING.... can you tell I’m a Jimin biased? No, but honestly there is something about jimin in idol that really does it for me. The way he moves in this song is so unique, his athleticism and contemporary background come together and deliver a powerful dance performance and his vocals are always killer. I literally can’t pick one performance but under duress I’d say mma with the iconic fan dance. V- Singularity Seoul. This is the only answer. It’s the perfect song for V imo. The deep voice, the amazing stage set up, the iconic jacket. The way he performs for the close up camera at the beginning. He commands attention and you literally cannot look away. Jk- Maybe unpopular but Pied piper Muster. I don’t know what was in jk’s drink that day but that was a jk I had never seen before. His vocals were heavenly good but his whole vibe was just next level. The hair, the shirt, the mic stand and did I mention those vocals. Pied piper is literally one of my favourite songs in part cause of this performance alone! Bonus jikook- THE black swan performance. Period.
Oh wow, hi anon.
These are in fact almost impossible questions to answer. I genuinely believe that every performance, whether in concert or at award shows etc., is special and every member shines in them.
I think I could answer which has been one of my favourites for each member or where the members left me even more speechless, so even though it's also difficult, I can try to answer it but before I do I want to make it clear that this is not to say that all the other performances were not great, these answers are based on what I remember at the top of my head:
Joon: BTS World Tour: Love Yourself Japan, in Fukuoka Dome.
There is something special about concerts in Japan. IMO they are some of my favourites. Namjoon's Trivia 承: Love performance video is one of my favourites. His attitude. The atmosphere of the crowd and of course the song. Sometimes out of nowhere I watch the video of that performance and I watch it more than 5 times.
Jin: Singing epiphany in Brazil. The first time I saw a video of this performance was from a fancam and maybe it's the excitement of the crowd, B-ARMYs are in a league of their own but that performance is one of my favourites and is one of the ones I remember most from him. That and Moon's performance, during the MOTS concert.
Yoongi: Seesaw's first performance in Seoul. The first time I saw the video of that performance I probably had the same reaction that everyone had when they understood that the song had choreography AND that Yoongi was dancing too.
Hobi: This man shines just by standing on stage but the performances where he shone even more because he was extra happy in my opinion were in Brazil and Wembley because the crowd responded as they should have. And Hobi was extra happy. Besides that one and many others, I agree with you, Dior Hoseok is simply masterful.
Jimin: Each and every performance of Serendipity. Also some of the first PTD performances and during MAMA 2019.
Tae: Dimple and Pied Piper's performances during the fifth musters. I LOVEEEE that man during those musters.
Jungkook: 2021 MUSTER SOWOOZOO. I have nothing more to say.
As for your second question, I think that's all you mentioned. I've been to several concerts in my life of other artists and I've seen many others on video and BTS, unlike many, knows how to make themselves felt. They know how to transmit and elevate the energy of their audience even from behind a screen and I think that's pretty hard to do. Their vocals are another reason, all the members are genuinely talented and they sound great live! Something that other artists, as amazing as it sounds, can't say or do. These guys are performers in every sense of the word.
