Have you heard that Suzuya and Kaneki were originally going to be long lost brothers? Could you do a scenario where they actually are and how they deal with it? Like, the birthday he actually goes by isn’t really his birthday, similar to Sasaki. Maybe it’s the day Madam A kidnapped him or the day he was rescued.

I have heard this! Is it confirmed? Lol I love the idea but it just adds to the tragedy that was re: 143 ~~runsoffsobbing~~

“I wish I could remember what your birthday actually is.” Kaneki Ken hates his brother having to recall the day Madam kidnapped him.

Suzuya Juuzou shrugs. “It’s okay. The important thing is that I’m the little sibling. So I can be wild!” He throws his arms in the air.

“You already are, kid.” Kaneki rubs Suzuya’s hair.

“It’s still so weird that I’m human and you’re not.” Suzuya peers at his brother. “Do you think Mom would have accepted me if she found out what they did to me? What I did? If she saw me stitching my skin?”

Kaneki closes his eyes. “Mom accepted her brutal sister. She absolutely would have accepted you.”

“But should she have?” Suzuya’s voice rises.

Kaneki stares him dead in the eyes. “Yes.” He smiles wryly. “Shinohara’s assessment wasn’t wrong.”

“Shinohara was never wrong,” Suzuya agrees. Except maybe on the killing ghouls part. He doesn’t like killing anymore. Not since he found his brother.

A funny idea occurs to him. “Kaneki, does this mean my Squad and the Quinx squad are cousins?”

“That sounds appropriate,” Kaneki says dryly.

Suzuya pales. “That also means Ayato is my brother-in-law.”

“Yes, yes it does. It’s a lot of fun.” kaneki grins. “If you have prank ideas, I’m all ears.”

“We have to start making up two decades of mischief sometime!” Suzuya leans forward as ideas pour into his mind.

Kaneki smiles at him, and with his ever-growing family, Suzuya feels whole.

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.”

Akira and Amon come back to find out Touka’s pregnant and surprise Akira’s pregnant too.

I love this idea.

“Kaneki. Eyepatch. One-Eyed King, it suits you,” Amon said awkwardly.

Kaneki shifts. “I see.”

“Haise – I mean, Kaneki – what happened in Cochlea?” Akira crosses her arms. She needs to be a good mother to Haise, so she’ll be a good mother to whomever grows in her belly.

The Rabbit eyes her suspiciously.

Kaneki lowers his gaze. “I can’t speak of that.”

“I need to know. Please. I can’t move forward with you until I know.” Akira swallows. Amon nods his encouragement.

Kaneki looks up. “Arima killed himself.”

Akira can’t believe it, but why would he lie?

“Why are you back if this is so hard for you?” Touka asks.

Amon gulps.

“We need your help.” Akira rubs her stomach. “I’m having a half-ghoul child, Kaneki. Surely you know something about ghoul biology.”

Touka chokes, Amon blushes, and Kaneki squeaks.

“I don’t know.” Kaneki shakes his head. “I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know!”

“We’re in the same position,” Touka says quietly, reaching out a hand to rub Kaneki’s shoulder.

“You’re – pregnant?” Akira gapes at Touka.

Touka nods.

A ripple of kinship spreads between the two women.

“We have to find a way to help them,” Amon says.

Kaneki nods. “Amon, will you help GOAT?”

“Anything,” Amon says, nodding to Akira, who smiles in return.

Her eyes narrow when she looks at Kaneki. “Haise!”

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.

You know which pairing I’ve seen nothing for except for occasionally in canon from one characters side? Roma/Kaneki. Could you write something for this rare but fascinating pairing?

“Why do you like him?”

“Hmm?” Roma blinks innocently at Yoshimura. “What’s not to like? He’s sweet and unique and exciting.” She pouts. “You’re really asking what I’m up to, aren’t you? You don’t trust me, Yoshimura.”

“I don’t.” Yoshimura raises his eyebrows and walks away.

“If you think having me in your little cafe will save my soul, you’re wrong!” Roma calls out, chuckling.

That evening, she heads home on her usual route when a commotion up ahead catches her attention. Suspecting entertainment, Roma leans around the corner of the alley to see the white-haired boy who makes her heart skip battling five larger ghouls.

He can handle himself.

But she wants him to notice her.

“Oh hey there, boys,” Roma calls innocently.

“Stay out of this,” snaps one of the men.

“Nah.” With a burst of energy, Roma unveils her kakuja. “This is SSS, and I’m damn proud of it!”

The ghouls flee, to her disappointment. She steps out of her armor.

“So.” Kaneki stares at her. “Didn’t peg you for the SSS type.”

“There’s a lot you don’t know about me,” Roma admits. But oh, how she yearns for him to know her.

“Tell me.” Intrigued – and somewhat fascinated by her kakuja, which is at once both terrifying and cute – Kaneki steps closer to her. “Coffee?”

“So long as it’s not Anteiku.”

“Sounds good for now,” Kaneki admits, shame coloring his face.

His eyes meet hers, and now his face colors for a different reason.

Roma knows this is likely a fancy of hers with no consequences. But…to answer Yoshimura’s nosy question, Kaneki makes her feel like she has a soul worth saving.

I had this thought for a plot bunny for a Bleach/Tokyo Ghoul crossover: What if Kisuke Urahara was Kaneki’s father? Like, he met Kaneki’s mom years before when she came to his shop, possessing high reiatsu for a human. They had an attraction that resulted in Kaneki later on. After a hollow attacked Kaneki when he was four, Kisuke replaced their memories of him to protect them and left. Can you do a scenario where Kisuke reunited with Kaneki (OEK) to apologize and tell him he always loved him?

Full disclaimer, I’m not super familiar with Bleach, so I hope my research provides you a sufficient scenario!

“Kaneki Ken.” A pale-haired man with a distinctive striped hat holds out his hand towards the One-Eyed King.

“Who are you?” Kirishima Touka steps in front of Kaneki. There’s something about his eyes that tells her who he is, but she ain’t ready to believe it.

“I’m…I am your father. Kisuke Urahara.” He swallows. He can see his shy, unsure nature in his son.

Kaneki says nothing, but Touka sees his hand fly to his chin. “I see.”

Kisuke brushes Kaneki’s hand with his, and the One-Eyed king falls over.

“What?” Touka cries.

Kaneki remembers his father tossing him in the air, catching him as he giggles. His father describing the decisiveness of good leadership. Claiming he wanted to be exactly like him.

And then he remembers Dad telling him he had to leave, that he was sorry. And Kaneki was just confused why Dad sounded angry instead of sad.

“You…” Kaneki inhales. “You were…”

Is Dad angry at him? He’s failed to be a good leader. He’s failed over and over.

“Kaneki, I love you and I’m so proud of you. Please, let me be your father again.” Kisuke doesn’t dare breathe lest he shatter this moment.

“I’m his wife,” Touka says.

Kaneki smiles tentatively.“Yes, she is. Touka, this is my father, Kisuke Urahara.”

Do you see how broken I am? Can you still love me?

Though Kaneki can’t quite let himself believe it, Touka sees in Urahara’s eyes that he can.

If Hairu was still alive. Hairu mourning the death of Shio.

Hairu totters closer to Kaneki Ken’s body, to the bloodstained, pale indigo head…and the pale blue one. Kaneki starts, and Hajime Hazuki laughs.

Shio.

Hairu’s first instinct is to scream, to collapse and wriggle on the ground with Kaneki. There is nothing she can do.

Ui, you were supposed to bring them back to me! Where is he?

Hairu can’t bear to look at the head, to imagine Shio’s final moments. My god, what have we done?

She’s long known Shio was innocent. If he and Squad Zero fought Hajime, they must have had a reason to follow Hirako rather than Ui.

Hairu feels tears in her eyes, and she’s crying, but she’s walking forward.

Hajime Hazuki feels himself lifted up by his hair. To his surprise, he sees Ihei Hairu holding her quinque at his throat.

“How would you like it?” she shouts. “Hmm? Would that make you feel good?”

She throws him to the ground. He has to know she would never.

Hajime bares his teeth.

“Did you feel powerful? Did you feel like the ghouls who murdered your parents?” Hairu laughs. “You are just like them!”

“Take that back!” screams Hajime, scrambling to his feet. For a moment, he looks like a terrified kid. Terrified like Shio was.

“Siding with traitors, are we, First Class?” Furuta sneers.

“I’m siding with my family! With Arima and Rikai and Shio!” Hairu fires T-human at Furuta, and in the chaos grabs Kaneki. She flees, far, far away from Shio’s head, as if outrunning him will undo the past.

“Where do we go?” Was this how Hirako felt when he fled? Where is Hirako, anyway? “I’m not letting you die, Ken.”

Because this is how Ihei Hairu mourns, with tears and firepower. She will honor Shio’s legacy and protect the one he fought for.

shironeki x oc, slight after yamori’s torture pls? they were both tortured after anteiku raid except she’s less tramautized due to her faith. (optional but she’s a redhead and smaller than him) in a sort of apartment kaneki was lamenting while she comforts him. they make a little love after that.

Oooh this sounds interesting!

“Ken. Please listen to me.” [Name] crouched in front of her lover. Kaneki just sat there on the bed they hadn’t shared in weeks, staring into blank space.

She brushed back her fiery hair. “Ken.”

He gasped at the sight of an angry red scar on her wrist, from the bonds that had trapped her.

Just another reminder of someone who’d suffered because he hadn’t been stronger.

“Ken,” she repeated. “I love you. I’m okay. You should worry about you. Not me. Not Touka or anyone Anteiku. You’re the one we’re worried about.”

Her voice broke slightly. “I love you, Ken.”

“Mom loved me too,” he muttered.

“And now she’s dead. I might die too. I see why that bothers you.” She blinked back tears. “But you’re not the one who gets to decide our fate. Who we sacrifice for. We do. And we want to sacrifice for you. I would have rather suffered all those days with you than leave you alone. I’m glad I was there.”

“[Name], no.” Kaneki drew her close to him.

“It’s true.” She leaned her head on his chest, listening to his steady heart. “You know, even if I died, I’d find a way not to leave you.”

“I want you to be safe.”

“I want you to be safe. But the truth is no one is. All we can do is embrace each other and keep trying to make the world safer, for everyone. Right?” [Name] smiled through her tears.

Kaneki nodded slowly.

“It wasn’t your fault, Ken. It never was. Nothing that has ever happened to you has been your fault.”

He choked back a sob, but let her cuddle him.

Before Kaneki knew what he was doing, his lips found hers, and her hands snuck under his shirt.

He pulled [Name] onto the bed. He wants her to drown in her love.

[Name] would say that’s not good. But it’s better than he was, because at least he recognizes her love.

Hello again! Can you do Rin meeting Haise (post auction arc) and giving him the answers to his forgotten past, including their relationship? (I’m going to be taking liberties with Re) More brother/sister fluff. I miss that banana-loving, pun master of a dork….. (A little more in Rin, she’s matured over the last few years, but remains, optimistic, cheerful, a bit of the loud and comical side with a short temper when you push the right buttons. Despite being younger, she’s protective of Ken)

I’m borrowing your phenomenal description of Sasaki for this.

“Yo, Sasaki.” A pretty young woman who looks nearly like his mirror image waves at him. “Have time for some coffee, you banana-loving pun master of a dork?”

“Who are you?” Haise Sasaki blinks.

“My name is Rin.” She motions him inside the cafe. “I’m your friend, though you don’t know me.”

Sasaki chuckles. “You can’t be.”

“I can.” Her eyes are sad, and Sasaki feels a mist of near-recollections, as if he recalls hugging her at age ten when their mother died.

Huh? He blinks. Where did that thought come from?

The girl smiles. “Let’s do a thought experiment. You try to remember your past. Just try.”

“I don’t need to.” Sasaki sits down to ensure she isn’t a ghoul about to devour everyone in this cafe.

“Yes, you do.” Her eyes flash. What have they done to brainwash him so? And yet he seems happy…

“Why do you look sad?” Sasaki frowns. Is she mentally ill?

“I would do anything to have protected my brother.” She grips a cup of steaming coffee. “I’m human, but he’s a ghoul. You’re an investigator. Do you know how that happened?”

“I’ve never heard of that.”

“Well, now you have. It’s quite the tale.”

“Do tell.” Sasaki leans forward. CCG may need to know of this.

She describes horror after horror – a binge-eating ghoul preying on her brother, his experimentation by a rogue doctor, his torture and descent into madness, his capture by CCG.

“What is his name? I can see if he’s still in Cochlea.” Haise feels sorry for her and the brother.

“His name is Kaneki Ken.”

Haise freezes.

Kaneki…Ken…Kaneki, Kaneki, Kaneki…his name is Kaneki, my name is Kaneki.

“You’re my brother. And you’re alive. And I love you, and I’m sorry I failed you.” Rin throws her arms around him.

Sasaki begins to shake. “No – no – I can’t -”

“You are, and I need you to be both my brother and the happy person you are here. Kaneki didn’t feel loved, so he was never happy. But I loved him, and he had a human friend named Hide who would move heaven and earth for him, and ghouls who followed and loved his kindness and meekness. We all still love you, and you can be happy.” Rin grips his arm. “Please remember me.”

And for a moment, he does let himself remember.

I loved the Mutsuki x Kaneki/Sasaki one! Could you do a scenario of Sasaki/Kaneki and Urie getting together?

Thank you! ❤

FYI, this is an AU where Kaneki is not in love with Touka.

“I’m sorry I wasn’t there.” Kaneki stares at his hands. “When Kuriowa – ”

He chokes up. Urie sits on a cot in the 24th ward. Hide – Hide – is alive and at CCG, if Kaneki will only go to him.

But he’s scared.

“Everyone says they’re sorry, but that doesn’t change that Takeomi doesn’t have a father and I was the only one who could prevent it.” Urie shakes his head.

“You did all you could. From someone who often didn’t.” Kaneki smiles sadly.

“I wasn’t very nice to you, was I?” Urie sighs. “I’d like to apologize for that.”

“You’ve changed a lot.” Kaneki sits beside him. “You’re brave enough to say sorry to your former leader. I’m not even brave enough to apologize to my best friend.”

“That’s preposterous!” Urie huffs. “And exactly like you.”

“We both like avoiding things. Maybe that’s why we didn’t get along?” Kaneki raises an eyebrow.

“Probably.” Urie has to laugh. “You know, I was always jealous. How does a ghoul get all the promotions I wanted? That sort of shit.”

“I was always jealous of the strong ghouls here.” Kaneki swallows. “Touka told me I never needed to change for other people once. I think I should have listened to her, but how can I, when the world requires this of me?”

“The world is unfair.” Urie shrugged. “If you want tons of advice, I’m not your guy. I am, however, your friend, and I would rather Haise Sasaki not change.”

“I’m not Haise. Haise was me minus … trauma, I guess.” Kaneki’s eyes fill with tears.

“Haise was your soul. Whoever you were before shit started. Like me, before my dad died.” Urie swallows the lump in his throat. “Right?”

Kaneki nods. He doesn’t look like a father figure to Urie, not anymore. He looks like his friend, a scared friend.

“Don’t hate me for asking,” Urie begins cautiously. “But may I kiss you?”

“Me?” Kaneki blinks.

“You need to be reminded that even at CCG, people still love you. When you return, I’ll be by your side…in multiple ways. If you’ll have me.” Urie flushes.

“Urie.” Kaneki had never realized before how much he cared for Urie, or why Urie’s rejection hurt so much.

He leans over to kiss Urie.
