    Summary

    There's something about this girl, like looking in a funhouse mirror a third of his size. “Oi, kid,” Toji says. “It’s you, isn’t it?”

    The girl glares daggers at him from behind a pair of red-rimmed glasses too big for her tiny face. She’s looking at him like he’s totally crazy, which isn’t entirely untrue. “Huh? Who the heck are you?”

    In lieu of answering, he asks, “What’s your name?”

    The girl scowls. “Maki.”

    “Maki,” he repeats, and it’s like a missing piece of his soul falls back into place. The record of his life before he fought the Six-Eyes brat is a long, impossibly white scroll of nothing -- but written on it in faint letters is the name of a child, a child with a delicate name that brushed the heavens, spun a prayer into letters; a name that began with an M, and it ended in i, too.

    “Maki,” he says again. “I think you’re my daughter.”

    --------

    Toji makes a mistake. It changes everything.

    Summary

    While on a mission in overseas, Gojo gets knocked out by an unknown sorcerer. Within a week, every sorcerer in Japan has heard about it.

    —/—/—/—

     

    “A week ago,” she repeats. “I was in… Germany, right? You mean the skinny guy with white hair?”
    Naoya finds his words faltering in the face of her absolute indifference. “What—are ya livin’ under a rock or something?” he demands. “You don’t even know who Gojo Satoru is?”

    I do not give permission to use my work with any form of AI, in any way at all. That should be obvious without this statement, but apparently this is the world we live in.

    Ok so I thought the mystery was about who knocked out Gojo. That get's solved. It's more like a columbo episode where we watch Gojo and OCs 1 and 2 figure out who Kenjaku is, which is fun!

    Summary

    Written for the 2012 BoxOfMagic Merlin Big Bang

    In the aftermath of Merlin's battle against Nimueh, the rain seems a minor complication, perhaps even a cleansing influence. When the rain doesn't stop, Camelot is pushed to the brink once more. This time, Arthur may be in over his head. Contains: a lot of wet boys in emotional scenes, Arthur knowing more than he lets on, Merlin being an idiot, both of them being a bit stupidly heroic, telepathic chess, rain (lots of), war, making out against a tree, coincidental druids, co-opted history, co-opted myths, magic, coming of age (metaphorically), and more magically annoying yet surprisingly un-floody water than you can shake a stick at.

    Marvelous. Stunning. Show-stopping. Has in my opinion too little reach bc the author only wrote this one piece for Merlin, but. FANTASTIC.
