    Summary

    Six months after the death of his husband, Sabito, Giyuu Tomioka continues to run their quiet coffee shop on Main Street. He closes the shop early and keeps his world deliberately small.

    Everything begins to change when the candlemaker next door, Kyoujurou Rengoku, starts dropping by. He's bright, earnest, and far too warm for a man trying not to feel anything at all.

    Summary

    A face that Giyū hasn’t seen in eight years looks down at him and twists itself into an expression that Giyū’s never seen before.

    “I won’t ask twice,” Sabito says. “What kind of demon are you?”

    “Sabito?” Giyū asks. His voice is barely louder than a whisper.

    (Or: Giyū gets sent to a timeline where he's dead and Sabito's alive. It's not what he expected.)

    Summary

    The ashes clutched in Giyuu’s remaining hand warm beneath his sweating palm, and Sanemi glares at him with the only half of his heart he has left.

    “You’re a fucking stray,” he finally spits out.

    “And yet,” Giyuu answers calmly, “you keep me around.”

    OR,

    Summary

    “Why are you here?” Jotaro asks quietly. It’s so direct that it makes Kakyoin pause. He had forgotten that Jotaro hated beating around the bush.

    “I could ask you the same question,” Kakyoin scoffs. “I know how to board a bus and get to a hotel on my own, you patronizing-”

    “When Jiji said they were sending someone else he seriously meant you?” Jotaro questions, seemingly more to himself than anyone else, considering how he hunches inward, voice so quiet it’s almost hard to hear over the waves.

    Kakyoin blinks, the heat of anger pausing in his chest due to overwhelming shock at the pure audacity. Kakyoin blinks again, and the anger resumes, about 20 degrees hotter. “Excuse me?”

    -

    Part 4 AU where Kakyoin is alive but at a cost. As he figures out how to pay that cost, he tries to help wrangle the Morioh kids while also trying not to strangle Jotaro (it'd be nice if they could also learn how to communicate again too, but Kakyoin attempts to be realistic).
