TWEWY Joshneku City of Angels AU lets gooooooooo when you just gotta admit "who am I kidding Im never coming back to this even though I reaaally want to asdfgh I'll just post what I have"

[Wall of text of lore below~]

TW// Suicidal ideation Angels wander the city of Shibiya to lead spirits to the afterlife. They cannot be seen, unless they want to be and have no personal want of emotions or free will. They cannot feel the way humans do. Physically or emotionally.

Angel Joshua arrives to lead away suicidal teen, Neku. But he wavers and Neku decides against his decision. Joshua becomes intrigued by Neku when the teenager goes out of their way to save the life of another, when Neku was so ready to give up on their own. It's a spark of fascination for Joshua that quickly fades, as time goes on and the depressed-teen-turned-hero-friend fades to memory.

Years later and Joshua is doing the rounds in a local hospital when he spies a familiar face. Neku, now in scrubs, doing his medical residency. During a young patient's last moments, Neku refuses to let the child die and his eyes meet with Joshua's. Neku doesn't see the angel of course, but a familiar spark lights up in Josh. He begins to follow Neku's daily comings and goings in the hospital, then outside of the hospital. Despite careful (but entertained) warning from his angelic colleges, Joshua makes himself known to Neku, and only Neku.

Apprehensive and disbelieving at first, Neku eventually begins to believe this angel and they become closer (or as close as one can get to a being with little comprehension about Emotions). Neku decided on a medical career since the day he helped save a (now) friend's life. He wanted to help people but realized that the job was a lot harder on one's emotional and mental well-being. Unfortunately, you lose as many lives as you save in his profession. In talks with Joshua, Neku remembers another thing he loved to do: sing. He never had time to indulge more in this hobby, thanks to his studies but after Joshua mentions how he's got a nice voice, he begins to experiment with the idea of writing music. We also see the two try to make sense of Joshua's sudden interest in human free will, and thanks to a friend(?) of Joshua's, they locate someone interesting: a fallen Angel. He explains that when an Angel falls from Grace and obtain free will, they become human and receive all the pros and cons that come with it. However, it's not an easy thing for an Angel to do; physically and morally. Also fun fact: fallen angels can see other angels, all the time.

Regardless, Neku starts catching feelings for Joshua and the Angel finds himself mentally struggling to make sense of human attraction. It's like an itch he can never reach, much less scratch. Frustrated and unable to get through Joshua's hard shell (or understand his motives), Neku leaves Shibuya without resolution with Josh.

Joshua is an Angel assigned to Shibuya, and thus unable to leave to look for Neku. The time apart does something to him, and he feels what he believes is loneliness. Or heartache? Whatever it is, the thought of never seeing Neku again is horrifying. He does the unthinkable and Falls. When he wakes up, everything hurts. Hurts. He bleeds, his stomach turns from hunger, his eyes ache and tears stream down his face. But he's...happy. He feels exuberant joy. Joshua travels across the boundaries of his world, exits Shibuya and follows Neku's trail.

Neku answers the door to a rain-soaked, ripped clothing, feet bleeding, wide grin now-human, Joshua. He has little time to process the scene before him, before Joshua word vomits all these new sensations he's been having and confesses his feelings for Neku. How else can Neku respond but with a kiss (now that they can physically touch each other) and they spend the night together.

Neku later explains that he needed some alone time to think, so he cashed in a favor. He left to take a break, but then took the opportunity to make lemonade, so to speak. Neku used a friend's recording studio outside the city to write a song and record it. Upon hearing it, Joshua was brought to tears. It was beautifully melancholic, but hopeful. It suited Neku.

A few days on and the couple is relishing this time together... but disaster inevitably arrives. Neku leaves on a bike to retrieve some groceries, leaving Joshua behind with a "Be right back." Only minutes later does Joshua feel anxiety grip him and he knows something bad has happened. He runs the road that Neku took, finding the young man in the street, having been in a traffic accident. Neku mumbles something about a beautiful light, then dies in Joshua's arms.

The days both drag on and fly by as Joshua tries to now live as a human without the person he wanted to be human with. Despite it all, Neku had met good people and they help Joshua through his turmoil. Eventually, Joshua decides to release Neku's song to the world and it grips anyone who hears it. His life is lost, but his voice will live on and fill his (and others) world with music.

Congrats on making it this far please enjoy this [your favorite donut]

Fic idea I probably won’t ever write but plagues my brain

Instead of getting sent to Shinjuku after being shot, Joshua somehow sends Neku back in time, tricking Shibuya’s UG into accepting his soul into the Game again because he technically hasn’t played it yet at that point.

The catch? It’s the game that Joshua first played, as an actual player. If Neku wants to get back to life and back to his time, he needs to ensure Joshua wins the game and becomes Composer, so he can send him back.

This is of course easier said than done, as Neku knows things he shouldn’t, and makes himself look very suspicious to Josh- especially since he sought him out to team up. A fun inversion of their original dynamic, with Josh not fully trusting Neku, and Neku having to hide things from Josh in order to avoid screwing with the timeline.

As they work together and Neku learns more about Josh though, and his reasonings for wanting to become Composer, Neku starts to feel conflicted about whether he should actually help Joshua, or whether he should encourage him to win the game and come back to life. He knows this could potentially ruin the timeline as he knows it, but he can’t help feel like he’s helping Joshua make a huge mistake, and he isn’t sure if he can make himself sit idly by while he does it.

Of course, he knows there would be major consequences to altering the timeline like this. He would never have to experience the Reaper’s Game, but that would mean he’d never meet his friends, might never grow or change as a person. He doesn’t want to give that up, but he isn’t sure what the ‘right’ thing to do is in this situation. And Mr. H isn’t particularly helpful either.

Also if Josh does become Composer and send Neku back you could have the fun implications of a stabilized time loop where Joshua seeks out Neku to be his proxy because of the time they spent together in his own Game.

I had this other silly idea all because of my friend who I jokingly say is Sho Minamimoto because they stated how they couldn't be a math teacher, but they love math.

So I had the idea HS twewy AU as a crack idea.

Sho Minamimoto as the math teacher.

Neku as this emo kid.

Joshua as the principal that pretends to be a student (or maybe principal's son but makes all the decisions)

Cat as this cool teacher/ staff member

Beat, Rhyme, and Shiki are other students.

It's a crack idea and I'm open to more ideas and I'm doing this for laughs
