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

I didn't get around to commenting in the first part but I'll comment on this part now. I'm so glad to see you writing this! I always did kinda wonder what the fate of the TV World would be in your fic-verse considering they didn't defeat Izanami so obviously bad stuff must be happening.

Very anxious to read more! I love the angst developing here. XD

Oh my god. :( I missed you so much, I can't even. This is amazing. I love how you've taken the S/Y relationship and turned it into something real... here are two people very much in love, but they still have a hell of a lot of problems.

Your Yosuke worries me a lot - it seems like he hasn't a lost a lot of the insecurities that defined him as a kid. I can't wait to read more!

(And seconding the love about Yosuke & his references to Teddie. They have the cutest relationship.)

Loving this so much, anon! I am really intrigued to see where it goes from here.

Like he doesn’t remember getting angry at Souji for pressing him to figure out how he’d lost Susano-O, as if it were his fault he was gone. Like he doesn’t remember shouting, shoving, screaming that he didn’t need Souji to save him, god damn it, just to make himself feel better because he’d failed to save Dojima. Like he doesn’t remember the look on Souji’s face, as though he’d shoved a knife into his gut and twisted it and spat on the wound. He looks back on it like it happened to someone else, like it was a horrible past life, as he stares at the phone in his hand and calls home

The resounding silence hit him like a sledgehammer. Yosuke’s face crumpled, wiped of all contempt in an instant by the sombre tone, the raw vulnerability in Souji’s voice, and pure shame engulfed him in the absence of all that anger. He looked away, unable to bear Souji’s eyes on him. His fears weren’t unfounded: Yosuke had already forced him to endure something like that once. Stupid. Selfish. The very sight of Souji lying dead would destroy Yosuke in ways he couldn’t even fathom, and yet here he was, ready and willing to risk inflicting that pain on him a second time. He’d promised himself he wouldn’t do it again, promised Souji he wouldn’t do it again. What good was he if he couldn’t keep a promise as simple as that?

Souji sighed again - softer this time, signalling the end of a fight rather than the beginning of one - and the tension between them dissipated. Technically, Yosuke supposed, he’d lost the argument, but he wasn’t even sure anymore that it was one he’d wanted to have in the first place. “We are equals, Yosuke

Yosuke wandered back through the apartment, fully intending to go wallow in bed for another hour before trying to face the day, but he stopped in their bedroom doorway when he heard movement from across the hall. He peeked through the crack made by Nanako’s open door and saw that she was already awake and busy. Of course she is. Probably woke her up yelling, idiot. He watched as she dragged an empty box across her room and dumped it near a pile of books and clothes and belongings that she had piled neatly next to the door, and began packing them in a meticulous sort of order he could only guess she had learned from her big brother

Yosuke looked down at his hands and fiddled with the roll of tape. If he was going to be honest with himself, then it wasn’t like he hadn’t thought about it - about leaving Souji, about Souji leaving him, about both of them just taking a step back and some time off from each other. Maybe not for good - it wasn’t like he was interested in pursuing anybody, and he already knew how ragingly jealous the thought of Souji being with someone else made him, thank-you-ex-boyfriend, so obviously on some level he wanted to stay. His Shadow had once wanted him to leave Souji to appease his parents, to bring comfort and stability back to his public life, to end the stress of lying all the time to everyone except their friends and families. But sometimes… sometimes he thought about leaving, too. He was a burden on Souji and Nanako as he was. They deserved better than what he was giving them

At Junes, Yosuke made a valiant effort to carry their purchases by himself: food and water dishes, canned food, dry food, a brush, a collar, a scratching post that wouldn’t be used, a small plush bed that wouldn’t be slept in, a couple of cheap toy mice that would probably provide five minutes of entertainment before being knocked under the stove, and the litter box they were all piled into. Nanako carried the bag of litter. Souji would get the hint from seeing any one of those items, but they figured it best to cover all their bases and have things prepared in case Souji was more enthusiastic about the idea than they were expecting and demanded their home be furnished with a kitten ASAP

“Yosuke-nii, you didn’t have to send it to me, I’m sitting right here,” said Nanako, when she checked her phone more than two hours later.

“Oh - yeah, I just… mass texted everyone. Sorry.” Yosuke’s phone buzzed in his hand, signalling an incoming message. He flipped it open immediately, and breathed a sigh of relief to see who it was from.

A part of me died inside when that text from Naoto arrived before Christmas Eve. Even ace detectives think proper spelling and grammar are for chumps.

Woah woah woah, Yosuke can't remember stuff? Teddie getting beat up? I'm on the edge of my seat! I'm really interested in how it'll all turn out, and how the plot threads join together.

Naoto's text killed me too T.T Not all people text like they have allergies to grammar and spelling, Atlus.

Re: The Scars We Get Together (3g/?)

[anonymous]

Thanks! I am interested to see how it turns out as well! :Db (No, wait, you didn't hear me say that just now. EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL.)

SRSLY. I've always assumed Souji would do it properly, but if Naoto's not safe from textfail, then who is?

Excellent chapter, anon \o/

Re: The Scars We Get Together (3g/?)

[anonymous]

YAY, a chapter! *happy flail*

Man, as always, you're just amazing, anon. You do such a good job of portraying a strained relationship, but still showing the love there. It's the little things.

Teddie! T.T

I try to tell myself that she's just being efficient, rather than it being fail.

Re: The Scars We Get Together (3g/?)

[anonymous]

Oh wow! So much going on now. Though in a way kinda glad to see they are having issues as it shows they aren't a "perfect" couple.

And oh no, Teddie! Evil cliffhanger T_T
