    Summary

    So, your uncle has always been very, very nice to everyone. Specially to you.
    On your nineteenth birthday he gave you a locket and a little bit more.
    You couldn't imagine you'd live to watch him being dragged down by cops later that year, accused of crimes you don't dare to say out loud.
    You think you'll never see him again and it wrecks you more than you can talk about — he got the death penalty, so you're making peace with knowing you saw him for the last time already.
    Nine years have passed since that. It's halloween already, and on the TV, the News' anchor announces that a dangerous criminal broke free from prison.

    You learn tonight that some ghosts from the past come back with bloodlust and more tattoos.

    Summary

    "I think you like this." His fingers worked the chains slowly, unnecessarily slow. "Being told what to do. Being dressed up like a doll. Being watched."

    "I don't–" you started, but his hand flattened against your spine, silencing you.

    "Your pulse is racing," he continued, his thumb finding the frantic beat at the exposed skin. "Your breathing is shallow. And you're leaning into my touch, not away from it."

    When the chains were finally untangled, he didn't stop. His hands smoothed the satin down your back with possessive precision, arranging the drape just so, his fingers tracing the lines of the chains against your skin.

    The words sank into you like hooks. Because he was right. God help you, he was right.

    Summary

    he’s never cared about being loved. not really. love was always for people without power, without responsibility. and yet—spring arrives, and so do you. soft-voiced and unimpressed, a student teacher with more resolve than experience, threatening to report him to child services like you aren’t talking to someone who can rewrite fate itself. your kindness scrapes bone. your eyes don’t look through him—they look at him. like he’s not a god. like he’s not broken beyond repair.

    you are everything he has trained himself not to want. ordinary. fragile. sunlit and untouched by curses. your world is filled with care that isn’t transactional, safety that isn’t bought, connection that isn’t calculated. and satoru, for all his brilliance, fumbles through the unfamiliar want to be known, to be trusted, to be something human. something domestic. something soft.

    he knows he shouldn't want you. knows eden was never meant for things like him. but sin is just a word for needs left unmet. and if paradise won’t open its gates, he’ll carve a new one with his own hands—perfect, patient, absolute. a home, a future, a myth rewritten in his image.

    or: when divinity grows tired of being worshipped and decides, instead, to covet.

    Summary

    ❝ you've heard his reputation and you've seen first-hand the way he's late to class if he even bothers to show up. paired with him for the most important project of the year, you choose to give him the benefit of the doubt- but maybe that's more than he deserves when your perfect grades depend on him, or maybe there's more to the aloof and irritable sukuna than meets the eye. ❞

    cw ; reader is fairly preppy and implied to be smaller than sukuna, but he's 6"11.
