Sasaki defeats Torso. After getting him to eat from him to replenish Mutsuki’s limbs he and Mutsuki open up and bond about the horrors they faced at the hands of their torturers and dark pasts

Soooo sweet, Nonny-mouse. TW for references to torture and sexual assault.

Why does this always happen? I hate me. Mutsuki pinches his eyes shut, praying that maybe he can die.

He feels Torso breathing besides him, and hates himself because he pities him.

“Get away from him!” A thick rinkaku pierces Torso through his heart. Mutsuki scrambles up to see Sensei holding Torso’s lifeless body aloft.

Sasaki tosses him away and turns to Mutsuki, who doubles over in a frantic attempt to make himself small. Sasaki knows. Sasaki sees.

“Mutsuki.” Sasaki’s voice breaks. He approaches his student tentatively.

“Go away,” Mutsuki cries. “I’m disgusting.”

“No!” Sasaki wraps his arms around him. “It’s okay. You’e okay, you’re okay, you’re okay.”

Mutsuki heaves a sob. “I’m not. I’m – you don’t know what I’ve done!”

“Then tell me. But first, you need to eat.” Sasaki holds out his arm. “This will grow your limbs quicker. I’m your leader and I okay this.”

Mutsuki’s kakugan gleams, and he dives in.

As Mucchan chews on him, Sasaki swallows. “I’ve been kidnapped and tortured, too. You know what I thought about, as Jason – the same one Suzuya killed – kept cutting off my toes and fingers, over and over and over? I kept thinking about how this was my fault. I kept thinking about my mom used to hit me. How she told me it was better to be hurt than to hurt. And that just couldn’t work in my situation anymore and I wanted it to work so bad.”

Mutsuki swallows. “Your family hurt you, too?”

Sasaki nods. Tears stream out from his eyes.

“My dad…hurt me. Like Torso did. My mom watched.” Mutsuki lets out a sob. Maybe if he confesses, Sasaki will understand. Maybe Sasaki will relive his pain by killing him. “And I…ghouls didn’t kill them, Sasaki. I did.”

“Mutsuki.” Sasaki looks sick.

“Please let me die.” Mutsuki stares at his regrowing hands.

“No.” Sasaki channels his inner Touka – whatever that means – and shoves more flesh into Mutsuki’s mouth. “I love you, Mutsuki. You’re my family. We’re…we’re a new family, of abandoned and abused kids and we suck a lot. But we love each other, and we help each other.”

“You don’t – hate me?” Mutsuki sniffles. “I’m as bad as Jason. As Torso.”

“You are not! You were more sinned against than sinned,” Sasaki quotes. “I told you, you’re okay, Mutsuki, you’re okay. I’ve got you. I’m not giving up, and neither should you.”

Mutsuki wails and grabs Sensei in a hug. “Help me.”

“Always.”

All the people with canon feelings and implied feelings fight over Kaneki/Sasaki’s affection in true harem fashion

Hahahahaha I love it.

“Sensei is mine,” cries Mutsuki, snatching a knife.

“He’s my Onii-chan. You can’t have him.” Hinami releases her butterfly kagune.

“I am hands-down the cutest,” Hajime calls, sprawling across a sofa.

“You’re like 12, bebe.” Tsukiyama holds up a rose.”I am the older, star-crossed lover. I have mystique.”

“I have bite marks from my husband.” Touka pulls down her shirt to reveal her shoulder. “Sorry, I don’t make the rules.”

Hinami smiles at her. “You see?”

“Valid point, valid point.” Tsukiyama sighs. “But can we all agree that if you weren’t here, I would be number one?”

“No!” Mutsuki tackles him.

“This is fun.” Hajime watches Tsukiyama pull Mutsuki’s hair, and Mutsuki claw Tsukiyama’s face.

“Now my face is the prettiest!” Hajime races towards Touka. “I can mess up yours now!”

Hinami wraps him in her petals. “Down, baby.”

“If my kid turns out half as annoying as you…” Touka threatens.

“Kaneki loves Touka!” cries HInami. “I’m his little sister. Shuu’s his friend. Mutsuki’s his kid. You’re…a…”

“Twerp,” Touka finishes.

“Shut up!” Hajime clamors free. “I am adorable!”

The door opens.

“Huh?” Kaneki blinks.

“Sensei!” shrieks Mutsuki, launching himself at Kaneki.

“Ken!” Touka uses her ukaku to reach him first.

Hinami uses her petals to pull him closer to her. Tsukiyama grabs Kaneki by the ankles and is dragged along. Hajime leaps atop Kaneki’s shoulders.

“WHAT IS HAPPENING?”

“Eh?” Ayato peers into see the One-Eyed King buried under a mountain of frantic admirers.

Weird ask: Touka eating Kaneki after mating because… nutritional needs. [Black widow spider style]

This is one of the most intriguing asks I’ve gotten. Love it!

“Kaneki,” Touka whimpers.

“Hmm?” Kaneki looks up from between her legs.

“I need to eat.”

“We’re low on food.” Kaneki sits up, concerned.

“No, I was thinking. For the baby. Maybe if I eat his father, it will help him or her.” Touka laughs. “Not all of you, Ken.”

Kaneki offers her his shoulder without a moment’s hesitation.

Touka’s teeth sink into his flesh, and he has to admit there’s something exciting about his wife cannibalizing him.

“You taste good,” she murmurs, wiping the blood off her lips. “I see why Shuu wanted you.”

“Touka!” Kaneki has to laugh along with her.

She pins him to the bed and continues to chew down his back. God, she’s so hungry.

She’s heard of female ghouls completely devouring their spouse once they were with child. Most are legends.

She won’t go this far. She’ll be restrained, because she loves Kaneki.

When she’s satiated, he begins to heal, and Touka snuggles closer to the side she hasn’t feasted upon. “I love you, Ken.”

(Part 2 to the dream request Bonds deepen when the nightmares return and this time, they witness Kaneki’s torture by Jason and all that it entailed, ending with Kaneki’s utter destruction and first act of Ghoul cannibalism. Since Ayato was so bitter about it, he gets to join the suffering this time.

Ayato thanks you. 😉

Touka screeches herself awake.

“What’s wrong?” Kaneki shakes her.

Oh, right. He sees Hinami and Ayato curled up at their feet. Shuu is on the floor, oddly cuddled with Aura and Higemaru. Hsaio and Saiko lie half under the bed, and Mutsuki lays his head on Urie’s chest.

Please tell me they didn’t find out more.

“He put centipedes – centipedes in your ear!” Touka claps her hands over her ears.

Ayato lets out a shrill scream, and Hinami bolts upright. Soon everyone is yelling.

“Kill me instead!” Saiko wails.

“I can’t choose!” Mutsuki shrieks.

“Nine-hundred ninety three,” sobs Hsaio. “It’s nine-hundred nintey three.”

“Is it all right if I eat you?” Ayato pins Hinami beneath him, only to gasp into consciousness. “Hina, I’m sorry!”

“It’s all right.” She scrambles towards Kaneki. “Big brother.”

“I hate bugs.” Aura trembles.

“I like them, but not in me.” Higemaru shudders.

“It’s terrible,” Urie mumbles.

“Hey, Ayato had the dream,” Touka points at him.

“I…it was a nightmare.” Ayato swallows. “I let that happen to you, Kaneki.”

“I know. I forgive you.”

“I should have done something.” Ayato clenches his fist.

“It’s okay, really.” Kaneki gulps. “I’m so sorry I upset you all.”

“Sorry?” Saiko asks incredulously.

“Kaneki, ma chere, we’re sorry,” says Tsukiyama. “You have suffered terribly. And we all – we don’t think it’s a burden to know. We don’t think it’s a weakness of yours. We love you and call you friend.”

“We want to know,” Mutsuki says, reaching for Kaneki’s hand.

“It’s what families do, right?” Saiko holds up a high five to Touka. “About time you prepared for that, anyhow.”

Kaneki laughs.

“Tell us the rest, if you’re ready,” Mutsuki says.

“We’ll listen. We’re all here.” Touka smiles and rubs Kaneki’s shoulders.

“I don’t even know where to begin.” Kaneki surveys their beautiful faces.

“How about the beginning,” Aura mutters, and everyone laughs.

Kaneki is happily married to Touka. In one omake he realizes with horror that ghoul marriage is initiated by biting someone and leaving bite marks, so that could mean he and Amon are married. In your scenario he likes him as well as Touka. Unlike in the omake where he desperately seeks Amon out to divorce him so he can live with Touka with no regrets he asks him to remain married with him as he has grown to love him as well as Touka. Amon is embarrassed about bite=marriage but agrees

“You mean…you’re married to Amon, too?” Touka points across the room to the former CCG investigator. “The Rabbit is married to the Eyepatch Ghoul who is married to Investigator Amon?”

“Basically,” Kaneki squeaks.

“This is insanity,” Amon mutters. He can’t believe no one at CCG knew this.

“I concur.” Touka glares at Amon.

He glares back. “I like you, Rabbit, but I don’t wanna marry you.”

“Same, dude.” Touka sighs.

“I’m okay divorcing you,” Kaneki says to Amon, though he really isn’t.

Amon flushes. “I mean – you love Touka, right? It’s only right.”

“I do,” Kaneki says, but he hesitates. I want you, too.

“If that isn’t the most pathetic look ever. Both of you.” Touka rolls her eyes. “Ever heard of polyamory?”

“Touka!” Kaneki gasps.

Amon’s face is scarlet.

“I don’t mind. Divorce him if you want, or I’m married to you who’s married to him. It’s fine with me.” Touka sighs. “I just want you to be happy.”

Three months later

“How’s our baby?” Amon bounces into the bedroom where Touka has been napping. “I bought it a crucifix.”

“Huh?” Touka cracks open her eyes. “Oh, that’s actually really sweet.”

Outside the room, Kaneki watches his wife and husband embrace, and wonders how he got so lucky to have them both.

Kaneki discovering Shikorae is Rio and trying hard to get his beloved friend (from tg jail) to live for the good side and return to sanity with love and friendship coming from Kaneki’s end. It works and time skip to Kaneki and Rio (returned to normal) once again happily working at Anteiku together. I love these two together they’re so sweet

I looooooove Rio.

“Do you seriously not recognize your old friend?” Furuta throws back his head and laughs.

Shikorae babbles something incomprehensible and staggers forward.

“Nothing?” Furuta shakes his head. “How does jail sound? Jail did this to him. Jail did this to himself, actually. How ironic.”

“Rio?” Kaneki hesitates. He looks horrified.

Shikorae chirps in response.

“Uh, Kaneki?” Touka frowns.

“Rio, your name is Rio. Not Shikorae.” Kaneki’s ire blossoms. Why would Eto do this to him?

“I’m bad,” whispers Rio.

All Kaneki wants is to flee, flee like he fled the Quinx, like he fled Anteiku.

So he knows what he must do.

“You’re Rio, my friend. You’ve never been bad.” Kaneki grabs Rio and draws him into a hug.

“Heh?” Rio is confused, but he likes the feeling of warmth from Kaneki’s hug.

Touka watches them with a smile. As long as he likes hugs, there’s hope.

———————————————

One year later

“I have not had enough coffee to do this shift,” Rio complains. “I need coffee to keep up with their coffee demands!”

“Don’t let Touka hear that.” Kaneki slides a cup towards Rio with a smile.

Rio smiles back. He grips the cup like it’s a hug. “I didn’t have any bad dreams last night.”

“I’m so glad.”

Rio puts the finished cup down and surprises Kaneki by initiating a hug. “Thank you for not giving up on me.”

Hello! It is absolutely essential that we have a conference of kanekis all having a very serious and passionate debate over what is Touka’s most appealing trait in each of their eyes :)

I agree. This is IMPORTANT.

“This is IMPORTANT.” Reaperneki shoves Shironeki back. “Touka-chan’s ferocity is her best characteristic. It’s not even a contest.”

“Uh – I like her compassion,” says Kuroneki. “Like when she force-fed me.”

“Eyepatch, remember how excited we got when she told us not to be gentle?” spits Reaperneki.

“That’s true,” admits Haise. “But her coffee-brewing skills are out of this world. And she was so patient – with me, who didn’t even remember her!”

Shironeki cracks his knuckles. “Touka-chan never gives up.”

“I like her smile,” says the Kuroneki child.

“I like that she isn’t mean,” whispers Shironeki. Haise immediately wraps him in a hug.

“Blehhh-waahhhhh-shhhaaaaaaaa,” sobs 240.

“Can I kill him yet?” asks Reaperneki. “He can’t even say Touka-chan’s name. That’s not forgivable. Let’s make it reaper-time.”

“No killing!” yells Kuroneki, frantically waving his arms.

240 whimpers. “Touka-chan.”

“There.” Haise nods. “You see?”

“Haise, that’s a mean pun, even for you,” Reaperneki shoots back.

“I didn’t mean it like that!”

“Touka-chan is our fire, and we need her,” declares Shironeki.

“We’re still pretty fucked up,” admits Reaperneki.

“I love that she loves me.” Shironeki nods.

All the Nekis fall quiet.

“Do we agree on that?” Reaperneki asks begrudgingly.

“Yes.”

“Yes!”

“Of – of course!”

“Wah!”

I’ve seen very little Hairu/Sasaki fanfiction. Could you maybe?

“Ihei.” Sasaki Haise nods at her. “That was a brilliant move out there.”

“Oh really?” Ihei Hairu smiles at him. She’s so pretty, his stomach hurts. “Want me to teach you?”

Sasaki nods eagerly, and Hairu rubs her hands together with anticipation.

She’s always felt comfortable around Sasaki, because he is a ghoul. He can’t judge her for the garden. She feels certain that if he knew her secret, he would accept her.

“Teach us, too!” Shio hurries over.

Sasaki’s face falls, and Hairu blushes.

“Uh – Shio…” Yusa says nervously.

“No, no, of course I’ll teach you.” Hairu ruffles Rikai’s hair. She can be another Arima to these kids – teach them, give them hope.

Ui watches but doesn’t join in. He wears a pout on his delicate face.

When Sasaki grabs her hands, Hairu catches her breath. From the red tinge to Sasaki’s cheeks, he feels it too.

Would Arima approve? She thinks so.

“Uh – would you like to get dinner after this?” she asks quickly.

Sasaki nods, and she throws him backwards. “I win this round. You have to be quicker on your feet.”

He smiles back at her.

Sorry about all my prompts but thank you again. Your writing gives me and a good number of fans a break from the tragedy. 😊 Also I was wondering could you write an Eto/Kaneki scenario. I love them together. I love any Kaneki pairing though haha

Aw thank you.

“You do not.” Kaneki stares at Eto, who is secure in her cell. He still feels vulnerable, though, because Sen Takatsuki knows how to wield her words.

“I do. I’ve always crushed on you. Does that scare you?” Eto winks.

“No.”

Eto bursts out laughing. “Kaneki, dear – ”

“Don’t call me that!”

“Kaneki, dear, you are such a sweet, pure child at heart. That’s beautiful in this world. Is it any wonder I’m drawn to your light?” Eto shrugs. “Don’t tell me you felt nothing for Sen Takatsuki.”

“Takatsuki doesn’t exist.” A brief memory occurs – him daydreaming about meeting Takatsuki and falling madly in love. She’d tell him he mattered.

He frowns. Where did that come from?

“Then neither does Haise Sasaki.”

“Stop!” Kaneki yells.

“Or – maybe – both are real. Maybe you’re both Sasaki and Kaneki. Maybe both have their worth.” Eto’s eyes soften. “And maybe the best of you involves both of them.”

“You’ve never wanted the best for me!” A laugh rips from Kaneki’s throat.

“Oh, I’ve always wanted. Known what the best was, now, that’s something different, dear.” Eto’s smile is sad.

With a jolt, Kaneki realizes that Takatsuki is here, and telling him she loves him, and that he matters.

Thank you for so many scenarios. You rock. For Chapter 144, Touka, Saiko, Urie, Scarecrow!Hide and Akira somehow end up in the Kaneki conference and remind them that they aren’t alone in this and to rely on others more. (Maybe end with a “Let’s go home”, from Hide 😭)

Thank you for sending them in! You rock too. =) Also, I included Mutsuki because he’s another part of Kaneki’s ‘family.’

“I want to see Touka-chan again,” Shironeki mumbles.

“She’s here.” Shironeki looks up to see Touka’s hands clasping his face. She leans over him, eyes smoldering.

“Maman!” Saiko dashes in to throw her arms around Haise.

Mutsuki and Urie tiptoe in behind her. Mutsuki waves timidly at the kids, and Urie nods at the Reaperneki. “’Sup.”

“Hey, it’s okay, you know.” Akira enters and approaches 240. She kneels besides him and wraps her arms around him. “Shh, shh. It’s okay.”

“Why are you all here?” Kuroneki blinks.

“Because they love you,” says a garbled voice. Scarecrow enters.

“Who are you, brat?” Reaperneki crosses his arms.

He holds up a sign. I’m Hideyoshi Nagachika.

Kuroneki gasps, and Scarecrow crosses over to him. I was never gone.

“What happened – I mean – why – you’re not really here.” Shironeki’s tears flow. Mutsuki would never be in the same room as Touka-chan.

“We are, in a sense. We’re all a part of you, too, right?” Touka smiles.

“Try to confide in us a bit more,” Saiko says.

“We do love you,” Mutsuki says. “Even Urie. Even me.”

“Where did I go wrong?”

Akira stands. “You didn’t trust us. But we trusted you. We’re a part of you. Let us help you, Ken.”

“Can you bite?” Mutsuki asks. “Just one bite of the Oggai should heal you.”

“He’s a kid!” gasps Kuroneki. “And a human!”

Touka scowls. “Oh, because humanity totally matters.”

“Ghouls aren’t evil.” Akira says. “Despite what I taught you. I’m sorry I failed as your mother, Ken.”

The kids begin to sob. “You didn’t fail us, Akira-san.”

“Take a bite. He’ll heal and so will you. And you’ll save GOAT,” says Urie.

“We’ll be with you,” Saiko adds.

Hide holds up another sign. Let’s go home.

Home isn’t a place. Home is where these messy, crazy people are. Reaperneki wipes his eyes, and Haise smirks at him. “Crying?”

“Let’s go home.” Kuroneki stands, and one by one, all the Nekis follow. Haise guides 240.

Let’s go home.
