First time requesting here, though I've filled some..

I... um. I'm not sure if this is allowed, but I just. Want it. So bad. So, if this isn't allowed, I'm really sorry. TT-TT Since I have no idea if this is categorized as spoilery or not... just in case, so...

Err, so I've been rereading No Beginning No End and Fight for Us Both (which supposed to be in the same universe.) written by an AWESOME writer!anon. And I started to question, did Yosuke ever get Susano-O back? Not as a Shadow, as a Persona and all its powers? What if he never got his Persona back and his Shadow stays as a Shadow? What if he still couldn't forgive himself for wanting to be done with Souji? What if, somehow, they all need to fight the Shadows again and Yosuke could only be a hindrance without his Persona, but insists to fight ( ... )

Ooh, I have not, but I do enjoy stumbling upon new music! :D Thanks! I'll check that out for sure when I get home. (Incidentally, the musical inspiration behind these three stories, or at least their titles, was Hawksley Workman. NBNE is just a painfully beautiful song. ;v;)

Am I still a Miss? Am I Mrs if I kept my surname? I'm really bad at this, I honestly have no idea. ANYWAY. I missed your face. You know that this was a cleverly-disguised plot to draw you out of hiding, right? Yup. &hearts

Okay, I have about two minutes before my laptop battery dies, and I just wanted to quickly scoot down here and say that I'm glad you're enjoying it, OP! Thank you for responding, and for nudging me toward doing more with this universe, and I hope you'll enjoy some of the other stuff I've dug up for it! :D &hearts I'll try not to be too slow with updates.

christ i hadn't realized how much i missed you. ;; i hope the wedding went well!

this is amazingly written as always - i love how you've taken personality traits of souji & yosuke and believably matured them. nanako is just the young woman that i expected her to grow into. what yosuke said hit me the hardest - he may have grown up, but a lot of that bitterness/insecurity is still there.

i can't tell you how happy i am to see more from you. thanks for indulging us and writing more. ♥

It did go well, thank you! :D Very fun and geeky. It was awesome.

Not so secret: bitter!Yosuke is a favourite Yosuke of mine. 8D; Not sure how Souji has put up with that for so long. :|

I didn't realize that I had missed a sequel of sorts, and when I saw this mentioned on Marukyu, linked to a title I only just barely recognized, I immediately went back to read and re-read and generally catch up on what I had missed and what I only vaguely remembered.

And what I remember now is that I love you. Completely and fully, unabashedly. You are quite honestly probably my favorite writer from any fandom I have ever had. Thank you so much for this. And for the two fills that preceded it. ♥ You have your biggest fan in me, and I am quite literally thrumming with excitement over the prospect of yet more to look forward to.

I was afraid that was going to happen. D: I felt kind of weird about writing that other fill as a sort of continuation, so I didn't really say anything to indicate it outside of the actual fill. But thankfully aroundight is super awesome and organized and left an actual link, which I forgot to do in my first post up there. ;~;

ffadsf thank you! I will try hard not to disappoint!

Whoo, made a mistake already! This is supposed to take place a year after Fight For Us Both, which makes it 2022, not 2023. Not that it matters, but just in case.

2.

April 3, 2022It was another full week before the opportunity to travel to the other world made itself available. Working around Yosuke’s schedule was essential - it had to be done at a time when his presence at Junes wouldn’t raise any eyebrows, but nor would he be missed when he disappeared for a while. Nanako had graduated from Yasogami a few weeks previously, but the new term would begin the following week and Souji was busy preparing for the imminent influx of students. Heading into a potentially dangerous situation already tired from working a full day seemed risky to him. So it wasn’t until the next Sunday after Yosuke’s shift that the three of them were able to make it to the Junes electronics department, prepared for battle, but hoping they wouldn’t need to be ( ... )

They resolved to wait near the entrance, figuring it safest to have a quick escape route handy - although they all knew from Yosuke’s experience the previous year that if one of their Shadows appeared, simply fleeing through the portal to their own world would bring them closer to harm than to safety. For the smaller, less human shadows, however, the ones more easily overcome but still potentially deadly, running away was a perfectly legitimate solution to an unwinnable fight.

Fifteen minutes passed, then another fifteen, then another. It occurred to Souji that he didn’t really know what triggered a Shadow’s appearance, beyond an extended stay on this side of the television. His own had appeared under duress, but Yosuke’s seemed content to show up to torment him simply at its own whim. Maybe Nanako’s would take its time. Maybe it wasn’t coming at all ( ... )

“Is it Teddie?” Nanako breathed. Yosuke held a finger to his lips and stepped in front of her. Souji did not tear his eyes away from the encroaching fog ( ... )

Mada brought his wrath down on them in a fiery blaze, Sraosha in divine punishment, and together they decimated the advancing swarm. There was a break in the assault as the shadows regrouped, and Souji dashed across the lot to help Yosuke, who was killing shadows as they came and holding his ground, but wasn’t making any headway against the horde. Yoshitsune this time, another blade in addition to theirs, and his quick and fearsome strikes helped to thin out their numbers.

“Big bro-!” Nanako shouted. Souji looked to her, and then to where she was pointing. Opposite the stack of televisions, long black arms were reaching up over the edge of the railing, grasping for something to hold on to.

“Come on!” Yosuke groaned, as he viciously stabbed another shadow. “Where the hell are they all coming from ( ... )

“When we got pincered by the shadows earlier, you spaced out,” said Souji. “You heard something over there, didn’t you?”

Another long, long pause. “Like what?” Yosuke asked.

“You tell me.”

Yosuke shrugged. “I… honestly, I don’t know. It might have been my Shadow. Might have been Susano-O. It was - I don’t know, it was far away. Too far away to hear.”

“So you weren’t hearing it, then.”

“No. Argh, it’s… it’s hard to explain. You know what it’s like when someone you trust gives you really good advice? Even if it wasn’t your idea, you still feel awesome just going along with it? That’s what it felt like. I don’t know what it was telling me to do, but I - partner, I really, really wanted to do it.”

And that’s when Souji heard it: an alarming strain in Yosuke’s voice that drastically altered the entire context of his words. Whatever Yosuke had felt compelled to do, he hadn’t wanted to want to do it at all ( ... )

I'm so honestly glad I decided to check on this before today's index came out in our fabulous marukyu~~~! Uh, actually, I have been checking this particular fill everyday in hopes of updates, to be honest, and I'm so excited to see it is updated! Thank you for updating, anon!

I'm loving this more and more, and what you called "a giant ball of yarn of dropped plot threads" got me hooked--it looks more intriguing as it goes. More surprises coming out, I see. <333 I like how you described Souji's determination to protect his 'family'--it gives a firmer feeling of their bond, if you know what I mean. And it's really, really nice to see taht small moment of Souji-Yosuke-Nanako's little not-quite-bickering with Souji-Nanako teamed up to tease Yosuke. Reading it, I feel like saying "Aah~ some things just don't change~~" :p Oh, and I love how Yosuke is still all "Dude, it's that annoying bear Teddy, what do you expect?" but then goes all worried and stuff over the so-called dumb bear. XDDD I like their brotherly-bonding for some reason ( ... )
