    Summary

    Senku Ishigami and his old mentor, Dr. Xeno, join together under quite unfortunate circumstances. Pursued by Stanley Snyder, dead-set on rescuing his partner, the former student and teacher are now captor and hostage. Despite the war raging on around them, Senku and Xeno indulge in their shared passion for science together- getting to know one another personally along the way too.

    But soon, though they both know they shouldn't, their feelings evolve into something more... Now Xeno is forced to choose.

    Does he want his victory, or... Senku? Senku, or Stanley?

    Choices he can't make.

    Senku didn’t think there was anything more his mentor could teach him, but it appears Xeno may still have a few lessons left to give…

    Summary

    Senku struggles to heal from the aftermath of Hyoga's abuse. His body heals, but even the medusa would not be able to heal the damage inflicted on his mind. That is something only time can heal, and that would be a waste of time.

    Summary

    His grandmother was the one who taught Gen about their connection.

    Someone else might have called it magic, or a power, or a gift. But she never used any of those words. “It’s simply what we are,” she told him. “A conversation between us and the land.”

    The spirits of the place - root, leaf, cloud, river, stone - spoke to them. And they could speak back, even command to a gentle extent. Gen’s grandmother could coax stubborn plants into flourishing, call a storm’s attention until it gathered overhead, or listen to the wind mutter news from distant hills. She said every human had a connection to the earth’s spirit, but most were deaf to it. Gen and his grandmother, though - theirs ran deep. Deeper than reason, deeper than blood.

    --

    Gen is magic. This changes everything.

    Summary

    [Spoilers up to manga chapter 159 for fic ch.1, up to 161 for fic ch.2, Science Future anime episode 8]

    Senku's cheated death. Again.

    Now, Dr. Xeno's compound is about to get raided by the strike team. While it would have been perfectly reasonable for Senku to remain behind — he was supposed to be pretending to be dead, after all — Senku won't hear of it.

    He wants to confront his former mentor, face-to-face.

    If only to see that arrogant smirk slide off his face at the sight of the presumed-dead Senku Ishigami.
