Shirazu (and not Mutsuki) is the one Urie thinks about on Rushima Island, and how he wishes he were still there fighting with him and knew if he were still alive he’d have a better chance of helping Mutsuki against kakuja!Amon. His thoughts of Shirazu give Urie the strength he needs to continue on

This scenario is loosely inspired from the Trost arc of Attack on Titan. 

Whenever Urie feels close to collapse, Shirazu comes to him.

He can see him encouraging Aura to swing that way, right now. He would assure Higemaru he’s going great. He’d be speechless at Hsaio’s skill, and then he’d return to trading snark with Saiko.

He wouldn’t have let Mutsuki vanish.

Why did you go? As he spits out blood, Urie knows it’s not rational to hate Shirazu, but right now he does.

It’s not me. It’s yourself you hate. Shirazu laughs. 

Why? Why am I always losing you? Over and over and over? 

For a moment, Urie feels he will split in two if he uses his koukaku. He’s weak. He’s tired. He’s lonely.

But then he sees an enormous kakuja heading for Mustuki, and suddenly Urie is alive again. His koukaku is nearly weightless. 

It’s as if Shirazu is swinging with him. 

We have to live on, Urie thinks as his heart rate settles, because if we don’t, we won’t be able to remember you. 

In his head, Shirazu takes his hand.

A scenario where Mutsuki and Aura don’t exactly “bury Yomo six feet under in style” but they defeat him (because I like my son Mutsuki an dont want him too evil) meaning that Mutsuki isn’t fried and Aura doesn’t have his neck snapped, enough so Mutsuki can continue on to reunite with Kaneki and Aura fights off any enemies that tries to hinder him

This fight keeps dragging on and on, and Yomo can’t stop thinking about Touka and Hinami. Have they escaped yet? And what of Naki, Miza, and the others?

A blow from the eyepatch investigator – the one who insulted Touka! – sends him backwards. The tall kid raises his quinque.

“I wouldn’t do that, were I you.” Uta’s smooth voice slithers out from above.

“Who are you?” spits the tall kid.

“It doesn’t matter. What matters is that if you continue on, and leave the Raven to me, you can reunite with your beloved Kaneki and maybe save your Oggai, too.” The masked ghoul jumps between the investigators and Yomo.

Mutsuki hesitates, but Aura sounds frantic. “The Oggai?”

“Like I said.”

“Let’s go.” Aura drags Mutsuki away.

They race towards the sounds of battle, and when they reach the rest of CCG, Mutsuki screams.

Kaneki is there, a limbless torso.

No – they did it to Sensei too! Mutsuki clutches his face. How could we?

Aura, however, feels vindicated that Kaneki knows what loss of limb feels like.

Mutsuki steps closer. Furuta directs Hajime towards Kaneki, a sly smile on his beautiful face.

Save the Oggai. Aura has a horrible epiphany. “Mutsuki, wait!”

But Mutsuki races forward, shoving investigator after investigator aside. “Sensei!” 

He falls to his knees, crying. 

“Huh?” Hajime frowns, but within a moment, Aura has grabbed him and yanked him away. 

“Let go!”

“Sensei, it’s not fair,” cries Mutsuki.

Kaneki can’t leave him now. He can barely move.

But he’s hurting, hurting in ways Mutsuki understands, and Mutsuki can’t bear it.

“No – no – no.” Mutsuki activates his bikaku and shoves it in Kaneki’s mouth. “Eat.”

“Tooru!” cries Aura.

“Furuta did this!” screams Mutsuki. “He set us all up!” 

“I know, but do you really think helping that thing is worth it?” Aura yells, still wrestling Hajime.

“Yes. I love him.” Mutsuki’s eyes stream as Kaneki finally bites down on his bikaku. “That’s it, Sensei. I’ll help you. Let me help you.” 

(If I’m asking too many questions at once, let me know 😓. I swear this is the last one until the others are done) Tsukiyama, Touka, Hinami and the Qs gain a deeper understanding of Kaneki when they all have the same nightmare: Kaneki’s first fight with Arima and his mental walkthrough with his mother and younger selves (from the ending of the first TG, the saddest scene IMHO 😭)

Hahaha you’re free to ask away, but that’s very sweet of you to consider. ❤ ❤ Also this ask might kill my heart. 😉 

“KANEKI!!!” Tsukiyama leaps out of bed. It’s 2 am, but he just had a dream that ended with Arima Kishou dragging Kaneki by his hair. Memories of Kaneki’s mother destroying him, treating him in ways that Tsukiyama could never imagine Mirumo treating him.

He races into Kaneki’s room.

Kaneki is already awake as Touka yells. “It was horrible – your mother was hitting you and – Arima was dragging you and -”

“Shuu?” Kaneki frowns.

“Amour! I had the same dream!” Tsukiyama clutches his heart.

“Tsukiyama?” HInami hurries in, Ayato behind her. “Kaneki, are you okay? I had the worst dream.”

“Why are you and Ayato together?” Tsukiyama chortles.

Kaneki begins to shake. “Why are you all dreaming this?”

“Is it true?” Ayato asks dryly. He’s a bit bitter he didn’t have the dream.

——————————

Aura staggers into the hallway of the Chateau. “Arima had me – and some woman was hitting me – it felt like Aunt Kiyoko hit me. It hurt so much.”

Saiko grabs him, sobbing. “It was Maman, Maman’s memory. I know it.”

Mutsuki is crying silently. Sasaki would have understood being hurt by a parent. Sasaki had been safe to confess to. Why hadn’t he?

“I never realized people could be so mean,” Higemaru says sadly.

Hsaio shoots him a you-privileged-brat look.

“Huh?” Urie stumbles out of his room, rubbing his eyes. “Oh.”

“You had the dream, too?” Saiko asks.

—————————–

“Hajime’s tracker leads here.” Mutsuki watches his GPS as he leads the Quinx deep underground.

“I’m surprised you can get a transmission,” Saiko says. He heart pounds. Maman, maman was hurt.

“We all must have had the dream for some reason,” muses Higemaru. “Who could have done this?”

“Ever thought it’s a fake?” Aura grumbles.

“Ever thought you should shut up?” Urie responds.

“Who are you?” Two ghouls block the entrance up ahead.

“We’re your king’s children,” Saiko snaps.

——————————-

When Mutsuki opens the door, he’s neither surprised nor upset – oddly – to see Kaneki sitting in bed with Kirishima Touka. Especially since Yostume, a blue-haired boy, and the Gourmet Tsukiyama are also huddled around Kaneki.

“Maman! A good maman!” shrieks Saiko, launching herself at Kaneki.

“We all dreamt the same dream about you,” Urie says awkwardly.

Touka points at Mutsuki. “Why is that one here?”

“Because he had the dream, stupid hair,” Aura shoots back.

“Don’t insult Miss Touka! She has high fashion, you high school misfit,” gasps Tsukiyama. 

“Are you now our other maman?” Saiko hugs Touka without waiting for a reply. 

“Kaneki…” Urie steps forward. “Are the dreams real?”

“I mean, they’re real because you all had them,” the blue-haired ghoul replies snippily.

“Ayato,” chastens Yotsume.

“I guess I mean…did your mother do that to you? And Arima – hurting you like that…have you ever had a good parent figure?” Urie can’t imagine life without his dad. It hurts too much.

Kaneki has tears in his eyes. He meets Mutsuki’s gaze. “I guess we’re alike, right?”

Mutsuki dissolves into tears. “I’m so sorry, Sensei.”

Kaneki holds out his arms, and Mutsuki falls into them. Touka awkwardly strokes the kid’s shoulders.

In a way, Kaneki is relieved. No one judges him. They all love him, and he didn’t have to tell on his mother.

“Kaneki, let us help you,” pleads Urie. 

Saiko grins. “Yeah, we’re terrorists now.”

Shirazu survives with him and Sasaki/Kaneki getting together and Shirazu calling him Sassan.

“I’m glad you’re here, Sassan.” Shirazu smiles down at Kaneki.

“But I’m not Sasaki,” cries Kaneki. Sassan. Why does the nickname still warm his heart?

“I know.” Shirazu rubs his back. “But I’m here for you, the Quinx are all here for you, and we’re going to help you.” 

“How?” Kaneki sniffles.

“That cafe. You knew the manager from before, right?” Shirazu hoists Kaneki up. “Lean on me. That’s it. We’ll go there. I’ve got you. I’m not leaving your side.”

Kaneki dares to believe him. What choice does he have?

Shirazu guides Kaneki into the hallway of the Chateau. 

Kaneki blinks. All the Quinx await before the front door. Mutsuki, Urie, Saiko, Aura, Hsaio, and Higemaru. “You guys?”

“We’re going to help you,” Mutsuki says, his voice trembling.

“See? We all love you. We’re family.” Shirazu tackles Kaneki in a hug, and all the Quinx pile on. 

“Do I have to,” mutters Aura. Higemaru promptly yanks him down onto the hug pile.

“Now.” Saiko straightens. “Let’s go.”

Alternate scenario where Kaneki/Sasaki never left the CCG therefore not causing pain among the Quinx and Mutsuki is less psychotic and more stable (so he is sans knife crazy) in his romantic feelings for Sasaki/Kaneki and he tells Kaneki/Sasaki about his romantic feelings for him before Touka does. Kaneki accepts Mutsuki’s love because this is the first time someone honestly and genuinely told him they loved him. Mutsuki expresses low self esteem and Sasaki/Kaneki cheers them up

Mutsuki sans knife is much healthier Mucchy.

“H – Haise?” Mutsuki raps on his squad leader’s door. He looks over his shoulder. Saiko nods at him, Higemaru offers two thumbs up, and Urie begrudgingly nods encouragement.

“Mutsuki? What is it?” Sasaki looks up from his book of haikus.

Mutsuki looks at his list of suggestions. All the Quinx wrote out what he ought to say:

Saiko – are you a virgin?

Skipping that one, Mutsuki sees Urie’s.

Hi.

Come on. He growls.

Tell him what he’s done for you – Aura S. 

“I just wanted to thank you,” Mutsuki blurts out. “For helping me grow stronger. For caring about me – about all of us. You’re the kindest person I know – and I care about you m-m-more than a little.” He blinks, surprised at the tears in his eyes. “I love you, Sensei.”

“Mucchan.” Sasaki’s eyes practically fall out of his head. “I – I – I don’t know what to say.”

“I’m sorry,” Mutsuki squeaks.

“No, I mean – no one has ever told me they loved me. Not without hitting me, at least.” Sasaki’s eyes cloud over at the foggy memories of his mother. 

“I wouldn’t hit you.”

“I know.” Sasaki grabs Mutsuki’s hands. “I care about you a lot too, Mutsuki.” He kisses Mutsuki’s cheek, and Mutsuki lets out a happy gasp.

“You – you mean my past doesn’t bother you?” It hasn’t been long since Mutsuki confessed everything to Sasaki, and Sasaki held him in an embrace.

“No.”

“I’m not grotesque to you?”

“Never. I love you.” Sasaki swallows. “I wish I could take back everything that hurt you.” 

“And I would do the same for you.”

“I know you would.” Sasaki pats Mutsuki on the shoulder. “You deserve love, Mutsuki.”

Mutsuki kisses him in response.

A scenario where Aura and Kaneki forgive each other and Aura gets over his hatred of Kaneki for supposedly hurting his aunt

“Mutsuki!” Kaneki screams at the sight of his charred friend, his child. 

“Don’t touch him.” Aura can’t move – his spine is still regenerating. No – Tooru – I will protect you.

Kaneki ignores him to drag Mutsuki’s limp body off the pipes. He uses his own kagune to feed Mutsuki his own flesh.

What the fuck?

Mutsuki moans. He remains unconscious but his color begins, ever so slowly, to return.

Kaneki walks over to Aura. 

You ain’t feeding me blood, bitch. Aura gapes up at him. He’s helpless. “Why?”

“I’m sorry about your aunt. Aura Kiyoko is a badass.” Kaneki sighs. “Yes, I hit her after she killed two Squad Zero children. I could have killed her, but I chose not to. I don’t like killing, you see.” 

“You might as well have,” Aura rasps. Aunt Kiyoko? Kill children? Liar

“She’s alive. She’s still your aunt. You can still speak to her.” Kaneki’s eyes moisten. “I can’t do that to my mother, or to Arima, or anyone I’ve lost.”

“You killed Arima.”

“I didn’t.” Kaneki is tired of the lies. 

“Kill me. Fight me.” Aura struggles to stand, but his limbs are useless. Kaneki isn’t lying, and he wants him to. Give me a reason to hate you.

“I don’t want to. I want to help you. Humans and ghouls and…in-betweens.” Kaneki shakes his head.

Let it go, said Aunt Kiyoko.

He didn’t understand before.

She killed children. Human children. Kaneki cared for them.

Aura remembers his response to Tooru’s electrocution. That’s why he’s paralyzed, even if momentarily, right?

He begins to sob. Somewhere deep in his heart, he can feel his anger ebbing, and it leaves him with an emptiness he doesn’t know how to fill.

But if he follows Kaneki, maybe he will. 

Rewrite of Touka/Kaneki wedding scene with Kaneki and Mutsuki get happily married instead of Touka and Kaneki

“Do you think there are too many flowers?” Urie Kuki asks, squinting at the venue.

“What blasphemy did I just hear? There are never too many flowers!” Tsukiyama Shuu gasps from behind a pillar of roses. 

“The cake is all set.” Yonebayashi Saiko skips in.

“Mutsuki’s gonna faint.” Nishiki Nishio laughs.

“Bets on who faints first.” Kirishima Ayato shouts. “I bet Kaneki!”

“Kaneki’s stronger than that now,” Touka informs her brother. She uses her ukaku to fly up to the top of the church to arrange a wreath of orchids.

“Put me down as Kaneki,” Aura Shinsanpei says sheepishly. Ayato nods with approval.

But as luck would have it, when Mutsuki appears down the aisle with Arima at his side, Kaneki’s knees do buckle. Ayato and Aura slap high-fives in the midst of the ceremony.

“This is so extravagant,” Mutsuki admits to Kaneki during their reception. “I had no idea you had such a lavish friend.”

“Neither did I for a while,” Kaneki admits. He reaches for Mutsuki’s hand. “Are you happy?”

“Very.” Mutsuki feels warm and secure and safe. 

“Good.” Kaneki kisses him.

“Give back my glasses!” 

Their attention immediately turns to the dance floor, where a very merry Yomo is prancing about with Nishiki’s spectacles. 

Mutsuki laughs. He already loves all of his husband’s wild, crazy friends.

Ayato, Hinami, Mutsuki, and Urie all wind up trapped in a building in the 24th ward together. Their respective loved ones are desperate to find them.

“Why am I here!” screams Mutsuki, pounding at the collapsed rubble. He wanted to find Sensei, not be trapped with these demons and an overzealous Urie. “With ghouls!”

“You’re the one who called my sister a slut! Prepare to die.” Ayato releases his ukaku.

“Touch him and I’ll rip out your entrails,” snarls Urie.

“Can you all calm down?” Yotsume steps between the two. “We’re here. We need to find a way out, and we can only do that by cooperating.”

“With you?” Urie is aghast. 

“Hinami is nice, asshat,” Ayato taunts.

“Unlike you?”

“Sure.” Ayato’s ukaku vanishes. “Okay, Hinami.”

“If Kaneki loves them, they must be good,” Hinami reminds him. She smiles at Urie. “I like your moles, and you – I like your eyepatch. It reminds me of Oniichan.” 

“Sensei?” Mutsuki touches his eyepatch. “Really?” 

“Yes.” Hinami appears utterly sincere, which confuses Urie. 

She seems so sweet. 

Then again, so did Haise.

————————————————

“It’s been three hours.” Saiko paces above ground. “That’s it. I’m going down into those tunnels.”

“Suppose ghouls eat us?” Higemaru says.

“Suppose they ate Mucchy and Urie! Suppose they’re captured and lonely!” Saiko waves her hand. “You’re all following me.”

“Yes.” Hsaio shoves Aura forward.

————————————————

“Three hours, and nothing?” Touka stops her pacing. “I’m gonna go there any haul Ayato’s ass back myself.”

Kaneki can tell that beneath her bravado, she’s worried. Suppose there were more than two intruders?

“Let’s go look.”

————————————————-

“Wait, so we all lost parents.” Ayato leans back. “To this dumb war.”

Mutsuki shivers.

He didn’t, Hinami thinks. But now may not be the time to mention it. 

“For a dumb war, you sure participated eagerly,” Urie says sourly.

“Do you even like killing us?” Ayato wonders.

Urie sighs.

“I don’t think so.” Hinami pauses. “Like we don’t like killing them.”

“Hinami, I had to do your killing for you,” Ayato says with a laugh.

Mutsuki’s eyes widen. So she, Yotsume, is weak like him. 

But she’s strong, too. She’s SS. 

Hinami smiles at him, and he returns the smile. 

Bam! The rocks they’ve given up on removing are shoveled away by a giant hand-shaped kagune.

“Saiko!” shouts Urie.

The opposite side of the tunnel collapses now. Kaneki and Touka stand there, bruised and exhausted. 

Saiko waves. “Looks like we beat your rescue, Maman.” 

Can you do Kaneki/Sasaki returning to his CCG family and being forgiven by them and welcomed with open arms? I need this

I need open arms now too after that … knife to the heart that was 143.

Go, Touka had urged him. You can’t live a lie anymore

And here he is. Standing before the Quinx – Mutsuki is held back from his arms by Urie and Aura – before Suzuya Squad, before Nimura Furuta.

“I…I know I hurt you all.” He looks into everyone’s eyes, except Furuta.

“Yeah, and you hurt my aunt,” snaps Aura.

“It wasn’t him,” Hirako Take says from behind Kaneki.

“Huh?” Aura pales.

“It was me.” 

Aura’s face blanches, and Shio, Rikai, and Yusa leap in front of their leader. 

“Calm down, tall angry man,” begs Shio. Despite herself, Saiko laughs. 

“Why?” Ui spits.

“Because Arima…Arima killed himself,” Kaneki whispers. 

“That sounds convenient.” Iwao Kuriowa cocks an eyebrow. 

“It’s the truth,” Yusa snaps. 

“We all saw it,” says Rikai.

“Urie, Mutsuki, Saiko…I know I hurt you. The world has enough hurt in it; I need to stop the hurting.” Kaneki wipes his eyes. “I’m not on the ghoul’s side anymore. I’m not on the human’s side anymore. I’m on the side of working together.”

Furuta scoffs. “Are you buying this shit?”

“Work together, like in one-eyed ghouls? Not the failures we are.” Hsaio points to herself and Furuta.

“Exactly!” Shio beams at her. 

“What?!” yells Higemaru. 

“Haise…” Suzuya steps forward. “Just so you know, I’m supposed to kill you now.”

“Please don’t,” Mutsuki says, and Saiko prepares to launch her kagune.

“I don’t want to,” Suzuya finishes. How can he kill the only other person who looked at him with Shinohara’s eyes? “So if there will be more fighting, it won’t come from Suzuya Squad.” 

“Or the Quinx,” Urie says. 

“You can’t be serious.” Furuta laughs nervously.

“We are. Also, we actually like Haise, Director.” Hsaio plants her hands on her hips. “Let’s confess everything. Right here, right now.”

“No.”

“So there is something to confess?” Hirako challenges. 

Furuta knows he’s caught, but Kaneki steps forward. “I’m not going to hurt you, Furuta.”

“Mamman!” Saiko launches herself into his arms, and Urie and Mutsuki follow with Suzuya. 

“Oh, what the hell.” Aura joins the rest of the Quinx. So his Squad founder didn’t maim his aunt. He’ll settle a duel with Hirako later. Right now, he sees love pouring from everyone towards Kaneki Ken, and he wants some of this love.

Come with me now to see my world.

“You mean you’ve never seen a movie before?” Yonebayashi Saiko is appalled. 

“Well, they weren’t going to help me be a better investigator.” Hsaio Ching-Li frowns. 

“Anime? Manga? Surely you’ve at least heard of Gintama?” Saiko gasps. “We need to teach you. Urie!”

“Huh?”

“It’s really okay,” Hsaio says, her cheeks red. 

Saiko ignores her. “Get your ass over here. We’re teaching Hsaio about life!”

She grabs Hsaio’s hands, and Hsaio feels a warmness in her belly she’s never felt before. 

Where there’s beauty beyond your dreams.  

"Dancing!” Hsaio laughs. “It’s like battle, but to music.”

“Exactly!” Saiko points her finger in the air. 

Then Hsaio grabs her, and she and Saiko whirl around before the projector.

“Whoa!” Higemaru holds up his hands as they crash into him and he, like a domino, spins into the projector. 

Urie walks in to see three of his favorite people collapsed on the floor next to a broken projector. But they’re not hurt – they’re laughing too hard to stand

Can you feel the things I feel right now, with you?

“This is my favorite manga.” Saiko flips through the pages of Gintama. “I’m obsessed, and you should be too.”

Hsaio is obsessed, but not with the manga. Yet. Saiko’s tastes haven’t let her down yet. 

The Quinx are probably the only people who could understand half-ghoulhood. Sometimes Hsaio debates telling Saiko.

But she needs Saiko to love her.

“Hey. Pay attention!” Saiko giggles, and several pages fall out of the manga.

"Oh no!” Hsaio grabs the papers – but they’re not part of the manga at all. They’re drawings of her, of Hsaio, as an anime character. 

“You’re a knight,” Saiko says cheerfully. She looks mildly embarrassed that in one, Hsaio has hearts for eyes.

When she raises her gaze, she sees Hsaio eye-level with her.  

Take my hand, there’s a world I need to know. 

Saiko struggles home after a long day of meetings. She’s tired and cranky and she hates Furuta and Inspector Bowl Cut, but what else is new?

“Saiko!” Hsaio leaps out from around the corner, sweeps Saiko off her feet, and kisses her. She has a rose in one hand. Just like she read in Saiko’s manga. 

Saiko blinks.

“I – I’m sorry.” Shame courses through Hsaio. She just wanted to make Saiko, the girl who has opened up so many new worlds for her, happy. If someone has never treated her like a princess, Hsaio will be the knight who does.

“No, wait.” Saiko draws Hsaio’s face back to hers. 

“Ahem.” 

Urie, Mutsuki, Aura, and Higemaru stand in the hallway, grinning from ear to ear.
