The Keiji/Sara ship for Your Turn to Die is serving me so well. All the fanfiction is weird and dark and tense and 'shit, I don't know if I can trust this guy, maybe I should have thought about that before I let him put his fingers in me.' I love it.
I've come across exactly one fic for it that was fluffy to any extent, and it went like this:

I suppose, in that hypothetical fic, it's hard to work out how to portray the Keiji-and-Sara dynamic because the power balance would be shifted. In the game, there's the constant sense that Keiji has the upper hand; he seems to know things Sara doesn't. In the situation where Sara tracks Keiji down and goes 'hey, you don't know me, but I know some really sensitive stuff about you!' she's got a lot more power over him, and it's hard to picture how they'd interact. It could be interesting, I suppose, but I'd have to find a way to make it work!
(My other issue with writing the fic is that Sara would not go straight to tracking down Keiji; she'd track down Kai first (after speaking to Joe), because that would clearly be easier, and I don't feel particularly up to writing Kai (or Sara's father) but also feel I probably wouldn't get away with glossing over it completely. 'Sara stayed home from school so she could talk to Kai, who didn't seem to know anything about a death game, and then she set out to find the character I actually want to write a fic about.')
