Lysandre after dark

You guys should have sent requests while you had the chance.

Tfw you've got a fanfic idea that is supposed to be fun to readers but it's not self-indulgent in the conventional teehee shippy heartwarming way (I mean whump. It'll be whump.) so you know people will not even enjoy it.

whumptober 02: “If all my days are numbered, why do I keep counting?”

He has no canon friend so I had to improvise. #dnangel

Saehara and Kosuke sharing a smoking time.

Had such a galaxy brain when I decided Saehara would refuse to kiss. It brings so much to ideas...!

Mind in the Keihara gutter.

Social anciety to the point of being unable to bond with others, while still being able to technically function in society.

10 - Non canon compliant: We need a combination of Kosuke being more assertive and Kei less confident for these two to bond. But what changes... No regret.

11 - Love: trigger warning. I am sappy. I love them when they love each other, or at least have one-sided love. Don't @ me. Don't perceive me.

12 - Friendship: Define "friendship"? :33

13 - Violence: Thing is, I find it hard to apply violent themes to them. Kei did push and stab a couple times, but holding a full fight?
(Kosuke knowing a martial art: adopted headcanon, though.)

14 - LGBTQ themes: They probably don't even use lgbtq terminology for themselves, don't reflect too much on their identites (outside of the confusion that comes with having unpopular, surprising and late in life attraction) but... society, man.
Also these two X being closeted about everything otp.

15 - Oral sex: Okay, I've been mean to all similar tags. But this one means something to me. (Pun.) That one and masturbation - the two pillars of their sexuality.

16 - AO3 Tags - Freeform.
Liars to lovers. Cop and thief but not the actual cop and thief. Satoshi (mentioned).

17 - Alternate Universe - Canon: Wait, what.
... Well, we're talking about DN. Yeah. Okay. Be wild, always.

18 - Alternate Universe - Canon divergence: My beloved.

19 - Romance: Most times, love is in the shared daily life. Often, it's about dates, long discussions, pushing each other forward. Once, it's about being entirely open and honest.

20 - Not beta read: Not by humans at least.

21 - Death: ... Yes. Sometimes. He must. So Kosuke's love can mean everything, be everything (and then, there's nothing~)

22 - LGBTQ character: I never assume any character is straight until explicitely proven otherwise anyway. 8D
It's just easier to imagine anyone being able to be interested in any type of characters.

23 - BDSM: To be fair, this is a sphere I'm only shallowly into, so it's hard to headcanon them being really into it. Even if I did, I wouldn't even know where to begin without falling into a cliché.
Light tying the other up, tho. Lul.

24 - Kissing: They probably go through the entire rainbow. Tiny kisses in passing. Sensual meaningful kisses on the shoulder. Lazy kisses in bed. I could write an entire fic about that last one~

25 - Blood: #seasoning #iwishallficshadthistaginparticular

26 - Happy ending: What's the point if not to have them become better persons thanks to how their two exact personalities match. And meet a better, more hopeful fate that seemingly fulfills their canon goals.

27 - Mental health issues: It's not trust issues, it's that damned curse. Damn you, damn you, Dark, for ruining everything for everyone.

28 - Humour: Now that I realise it, I'm not a big writer of humour. Or very subtle humour, within narration or situations themselves.
Not sure it'd work out well for them. Kei's main appeal is his regular creepiness, and Kosuke's his serious, cool moments.
