    Summary

    “Although you’re young, we’ve decided that you should be tasked with this year’s prayer.” Nanami’s eyes are sharp and calculating as they look Yuuji over. He tries to straighten even more but that’s impossible, he’s already straight as a board as he tries to look impressive and worthy of this great honor.

    “I would love to accept!!” Yuuji replies, leaning forward in a deep bow. “I won’t let you down, Nanamin!”

    There’s a deep sigh above him and when Yuuji looks, Nanami is rubbing his forehead, looking tired. He cocks a brow—did he do something wrong?

    “I have a feeling this won’t turn out the way anyone is expecting,” Nanami says, half to himself. He seems to remember Yuuji standing there and waves a hand. “You’re dismissed. Report to me when you’re back.”

    Yuuji nods eagerly and practically flies out of the room with excitement. This year he gets to be the one to offer prayers to their God! Even though it’s a task all Shamans do eventually, for some reason Yuuji feels like it’s life-changing.

    He’s about to find out that he’s right.

    Summary

    Itadori Yuji has been having the same recurring nightmare since he was fifteen years old. In it, he watches a man get cut in half at the waist and die. He’s never seen the man’s face, but he knows it’s always the same man. He’s never met the man before, but he wakes up crying over his death every time.

    Ten years on and finally at the end of his rope over how much the nightmare has been affecting his personal life, Yuji accepts a referral from his psychiatrist for a highly expensive but nationally recognised dream therapist.

    And this is where our love story begins—if it ever really ended, at all.

    Summary

    “Gojou-sensei! How long have you been awake?”

    “Sensei,” Gojou echoes slowly. Then he shrugs. “A while. You were carrying me like I was some poor, sweet damsel. I wanted to see what you were planning with me! Wasn’t expecting you to get me in bed and do nothing though. Now I’m kinda disappointed about that.”

    “What does—forget it. What the hell happened? Why do you look like…that?”

    Gojou raises a perfectly groomed eyebrow. “First, you say I shrunk, and now this. What, I’m not pretty enough for you?”

    Yuuji takes a moment to process that. It fries a few brain cells.

    “Gojou…sensei?” he asks weakly.

    “This again? I’m no one’s sensei, kid. Not yet and hopefully not ever. So, tell me, who are you? And where are we?” Gojou cocks his head to the side, one eye blindingly bright and the other entirely shadowed. “Or should I ask, when are we?”

    Oh, Yuuji thinks. I’d like my life to stop being a manga now.

    Shortly before the Goodwill Event, Yuuji finds that his teacher has de-aged to his seventeen-year-old self. He adapts a little too well.

    Summary

    Yuuji’s grandfather is burning when the strangest man he’s ever met asks him to choose his hell.

    “Will it be you?” Yuuji asks. “The one to kill me.”

    There’s a brief pause before the response. “Probably. I wouldn’t entrust Sukuna’s vessel to anyone else, certainly not at full power.”

    Something twinges in Yuuji’s chest at the assumption there. A duller clench follows—not quite guilt.

    “No,” he says, finally looking up. “I mean now.”

    Even with the blindfold—worth a sharp flare of confusion each time he looks at Gojou—Yuuji can tell Gojou’s surprised. He can see it twist into a frown too, and it’s somehow a kinder expression than all his smiles have been.

    “Definitely then,” Gojou tells him. “I’m already here anyway. Just so we’re clear—you’re choosing to die now?”

    When told to choose his hell, Itadori Yuuji picks the easier one—a clean death, then and there. He couldn’t have known that it was never really a choice.

    Or, Gojou Satoru kidnaps a teenager, supposedly for his own good.

    Summary

    “...Yuuji. I’ll ask again. Where’d you get the money?”

    “Don’t worry about it, jiichan,” Yuuji deflects, trying to busy himself with the apple in his hands. “I said I’d take care of things, remember?”

    “...The nurse told me that you paid in cash.” His grandpa glares at him. “You’re not doing anything bad, are you?”

    Yuuji desperately needs money to pay for his grandfather’s medical bills. After a fateful encounter with a tall, mysterious man who wants to help, both their lives are changed entirely. As they try to navigate through the turbulent paths of heartbreak and loss, the promise and light of a new beginning shines through.
