Ryoichi does some Christmas shopping for Koharu.

Inspired by @koyuki-tan‘s “Peace Sign.”

“What would she like?” Ryoichi whispers to himself.

He stands before a giant department store, tapping his fingers to his chin. 

“Your haircut, doofus,” whispers a voice in his ear.

Ryoichi yelps. He spins around to see a smirking Kanae von Rosewald.

“Look, courting a dove is a bad idea, but you’re not the first idiot to try. And since I’m helpless to save the other, I’ll help you, leibling,” says Kanae. She crosses her arms. 

“Why are you being so nice?” He narrows his eyes. 

“’Tis the season,” Kanae says. “Have you paid attention to her interests at all?”

“A – a little,” Ryoichi stammers.

“Sweet or savory?”

“Uh, sweet?”

“Wrong.” Kanae shakes her head. “What kind of posters does she have in her room?”

“I wouldn’t look at her room!” Ryoichi cries.

Kanae rolls her eyes. “Oh my god. Horses, dummy.”

“Horses?”

“Yes. Buy her something to do with horses.” Kanae nods. “You can’t go wrong.”

“But…” Ryoichi hesitates. “She might still hate me. Because I’m a full ghoul.”

“You never know until you try. Shuu might hate me because I’m a girl. I’m still gonna try.” Kanae shrugs. “Bye.”

And just like that, the Rose vanishes into the crowd.

When Ryoichi returns to Re later that day, he’s beaming with pride.

“Lemme see.” Touka stomps her foot.

Ryoichi reaches into his bag to produce an elaborate crystalline horse.

“Magnificent,” says Yomo in surprise.

“Touka, you should get Ryoichi to be your boyfriend,” says Nishiki.

“Shut up!” Ryoichi and Touka yell at once. 

What does each kagune user think of their kagune?

Kaneki Ken – I don’t feel human. 😦 

Kamishiro Rize – it’s sexy and pretty and, well, goodbye to you. 

Kirishima Touka -Pretty proud of my wings. Trying to accept Kimi’s words that I’m beautiful.

Kirishima Ayato – Dang thing doesn’t last enough. 

Yomo Renji – Confident in my intimidation skills.

Uta – It’s a work of art.

Itori – Ain’t it sexy?

Nishiki Nishio – This is how I get the girls. 

Tsukyama Shuu – Smooth and strong, just like me.

Karren Von Rosewald – It’s pretty useful for retrieving Master Shuu. 

Matsumae – I’m a boss and I know it. 

Koma Enji – Look how mighty I am!

Kaya Irimi – Bet you weren’t expecting a winged puppy, were ya?

Fueguchi Hinami – Mom, Dad, I will make you proud. 

Yoshimura Kuzen – Triggers guilt for Eto.

Yoshimura Eto – Dis fun. Rawr. MISCHIEF MANAGED. 

Tatara – Bow down, bitches.

Noro – Keeps him alive.

Yamori – Another torture tool.

Naki – wow!

Miza Kusakari – Feels dangerous, and she likes feeling dangerous.

Hakatori/Yumitsu Tomoe – cool, but using quinques is cooler.

Hoito Roma – my kagune is cyuuuuuuuttteeeee

(Edited to add Hajime)

Can you describe the first time Chie was introduced to Mirumo and the Tsukiyama household staff and their reactions? I love them so much and I love your writing/hcs so I would really love it!!!

You are so sweet! I love this idea. ❤

“Don’t worry, we won’t serve you for dinner, little mouse,” Tsukiyama says, guiding Chie towards his mansion.

“I put a blog post up in case,” she retorts. 

Tsukiyama laughs with delight. “I’d expect nothing less!”

He enters the home and waves. “Hello!”

“Welcome,” says Matsumae.

“Matsumae.” Chile’s eyes widen. “You’re a ghoul, too?”

“She’s head of our household staff,” Tsukiyama narrates.

“Whoa.” Chie snaps a picture. “Don’t worry. I just like looking at these.”

“I know,” Matsumae says with a  small smile. “Otherwise our Shuu would be dead by now.”

“I would not!” gasps Tsukiyama, but Chie snickers. 

“He definitely would.”

“Indeed.” Mario bows before Chie. “I’m the butler, at your service, madam.”

“Wow.” Chie snaps another picture. “So nice.”

“We are all well-mannered here,” says Tsukiyama.

“Except my son, at times.” An older, mustachioed ghoul appears at the top of an red-carpeted staircase, complete with golden bannisters. “Mirumo Tsukiyama. Pleasure to meet a human friend who doesn’t fear ghouls.” 

“She’s my pet,” Shuu says.

“Sure.” Mirumo winks at Chie, who quite likes this man. 

“Oh, Master Shuu!” A blonde ghoul hurries up, accompanied by a handsome dark-haired ghoul. “I forgot about your friend, but we’ve just put the cookies in the oven. And we shall prepare some pate for you.” 

“What’s your name? Are you two married?” Chie holds up her camera.

“G-goodness, no,” says the woman. “I’m Aliza, and this is Yuuma.”

She notes she’ll probably need to ask Chie for that picture later, to keep it under her pillow.

“And this is Kanae Von Rosewald!” Shuu points excitedly to a pretty lad about his own age, with lilac hair and a pink suit. 

“You have pretty hair.” Chie smiles. 

“T-thank you.” Kanae almost doesn’t feel jealous of Chie. Almost. 

“Well, Chie, shall we sit in the parlor? I’m so interested to know you more,” says Mirumo.

Oooohhhh. Description of tg girls’ boobs? (if you’re comfy with it obv)

Kirishima Touka – Quite proud of her mole. Pretty confident in her chest size, large enough to be envied but not large enough to hurt. 

Irimi Kaya – Small, firm breasts that are perfect for battle. 

Fueguchi Hinami – Still kinda insecure.

Kosaka Yoriko – Wishes she had Touka’s boobs. 

Nishino Kimi – Felt average. But Nishiki likes them, and now she’s into wearing adventurous bras. 

Kanae Von Rosewald – Would rather pretend she doesn’t have them.

Chie Hori – Has photographed her own more than once. May or may not have shown Shuu. 

Yoshimura Eto – Loves her smallish chest. Hates bras. 

Itori – Also proud of her mole, and loves displaying her perfectly proportioned chest.

Mado Akira – She likes indulging in lacy push-up bras.

Yonebayashi Saiko – luxurious and beautiful. She’s proud of them, even if they hurt her shoulders. 

Hsaio Ching-Li – Is ‘meh’ on her whole chest thing. 

Aura Kiyoko – As a veteran, she’s an avid proponent of wearing well-fitted bras.

Kamishiro Rize – Knows her boobs are effing unparalleled, yet vacillates between loving them and hating them because of the attention gross men sometimes give her.  😦 

Nico – Sometimes wishes she had boobs.

Asa – Okay but what are these strange things growing on her chest and how can she put artwork on them?

Iyo – The fact that Matsuri did not notice her lovely boobs was her first clue.

Kamishiro Rize – star of a new show, “Ghoul vs. Food.” 

Fueguchi Hinami – Child sponsorship. 

Irimi Kaya – Doberman adoption.

Nishino Kimi – she’s in two. An advertisement for the human-ghoul alliance, and an ad for Nishikimiazole, the treatment she developed for ghouls to eat normally. 

Itori – Come to the hottest bar around. Serving both humans and ghouls! Sometimes humans to ghouls (just kidding). 

Hoito Roma – Olay revitalizing cream. 

Yonebayashi Saiko – Comic-Con!!!

Hsaio Ching-Li – Martial arts center.

Yumitsu Tomoe – Kick-ass action movie.  

Nico – Sephora.

Ihei Hairu – The best melon buns around!

Souza Rikai – Back to school.

Masanori’s Trick or treating adventure!

“Look at me, Daddy!”

Masanori twirls around, showing off his black bobbed wig. “I’m YOU! Uncle Uta helped me.”

“You look just like Daddy,” Hairu says with a grin. She’s Rapunzel, and Ui is Flynn Rider. 

“Yay!” Masanori claps his hands. 

Ui is too happy to speak, so he hugs his child instead. “Now, be safe out there.”

“I will!” Masanori hurries outside to join the other GOAT children.

“Trick or treat!” Masanori first rings Touka and Kaneki’s door.

“Yes?” Touka, dressed like a fortune teller, falls back. “It’s a CCG investigator! AHHHHH!” 

Masanori giggles. “No, it’s just Masanori!”

Kaneki, having been forced into a purple dragon costume, hands Masanori sugar tubes.

“Thank you!” Masanori skips to Ayato and Hinami’s next.

“Rawr!” Ayato is dressed like a pirate; Hinami, a yellow parrot. They hand Masanori chocolate.

Naki is Frankenstein and Miza his bride. 

“Oo-oooooh.” Miza zombie walks towards the children, and they shriek.

“What tasty children!” Pennywise Itori greets them next, with angel Yomo and devil Uta behind her.

“Watch out, I’ll use my quinque,” teases Masanori. “Wait, Uncle Yomo, are those your ukaku wings.”

“With some help from Uta,” Yomo says uncomfortably. 

Nishiki is dressed as a spider and Kimi a butterfly, connected by a web, and they hand out homemade cupcakes to thrill the children.

The Quinx mansion is next, and Saiko greets them as Gintoki. Hsaio as a ninja and Shirazu as a shark appear behind her, followed by Aura as perhaps a ghost – a white sheet, as any rate – and Higemaru as some monster of his own devising. Urie and Mutsuki join as Cookie Monster and a cat, respectively. 

Cinderella Yoriko and Prince Charming Takeomi hand out more baked goods, and then it’s on to the Tsukiyama’s.

Chie as a bat hangs in a tree, snapping as many pictures as she can. 

“Greetings, mortals!” Tsukiyama thrusts open his front door, dressed in rich wizarding robes. Kanae as an elf holds up ring pops.

Arima opens his door, mortified. He’s dressed as a black goat, and sexy witch Eto looks all too pleased with herself. 

The children plod over to Hirako’s, where the three Musketeers pretend to attack as a giant Shiba hands them Kit-kats. Hajime appears to chase off the Musketeers, complete as Superman.

Kurona as a vampire and Seidou as a greek god provide Masanori with his favorite gift yet: caramel, the sticky stuff Mommy and Daddy don’t often buy after he smeared it across the entire kitchen.

An enormous version of Maris Stella answers the door at Akira and Amon’s, and the Suzuya Squad as Robin Hood and his merry men  – including Hanbee as Maid Marion – swoop in to deliver Skittles. 

When Masanori turns around, he sees all the parents gathered. “All right, off to our last stop.”

“Where?” Masanori asks.

“You don’t think your other uncle would miss this, do you?” Hairu asks lightly.

The adults are still wary as they enter the jail. But their reserve soon gives way to laughter when Haise Sasaki greets Kaneki in Furuta’s voice. “Hi, me! We look cute today!”

“I hate you,” Kaneki says.

“I love us,” says Haise. He showers the children with chocolate, and Masanori thinks himself the luckiest kid alive. 

How about Tsukiyama going to the hair dresser and his nightmare came true *his bang got cut so short, he looks like a kid*

A crash alerts Mirumo to his son’s presence. “Shuu?”

A blur with Tsukiyama’s cologne streaks by. 

“Shuu!”

“Don’t look at me; I’m hideous!” wails the blur. He slamming the door to Shuu’s room.

Matsumae and Kanae exchange glances. 

“I’ll check,” Kanae announces.

She knocks on Master Shuu’s door, her ire building. Has someone hurt him? She’ll kill them and feed them to her master for their hubris. 

Shuu looks up with a guilty expression.

He has no bangs. 

Kanae tumbles backwards. “Hilfe!”

“What’s wrong?” Matsumae barges in, only to freeze at Shuu’s new look. “Oh. Oh my.”

“Don’t say it!” cries Shuu. “I’m a laughingstock!”

“I’m not laughing,” Kanae protests.

“I am.” Chie Hori shoves her way inside, snapping pictures.

“Can you not?” Kanae snaps. 

“I am humiliated!” wails Shuu. “I am a disgrace! How will I ever grace the outside world again?”

“We’ll tell you Kaneki’s outside and you’ll go,” Kanae says dully. 

He brightens. “Is he?”

Kanae scowls. “No.”

He looks like a disappointed child, and it’s all she can do not to hug him.
