Nico is a powerful but dainty koukaku.

Who else am I missing?
– She still teases Kaneki at the altar, asking him if he has any objections. Kaneki is mortified.
– She interrupts “you may now kiss” to kiss. She can’t even wait for the end of the sentence.
– Noro is the officiant. Which may prompt Tatara to ask if this is legal, since he’s technically dead. As a result, Tatara may or may not be run through by Eto’s kagune at the rehearsal.
– RED SPIDER LILIES EVERYWHERE.
– Eto will have a wild, wild, WILD reception. Featuring Takizawa as DJ and Kurona as the savior of their dance music.
– Hinami is maid of honor. Naturally. Eto makes sure to throw Hina the bouquet, too. And to smirk at Ayato.
– Eto wears a short, unconventional wedding dress. Perhaps gothic.
– She enters a dance battle with Tsukiyama Shuu and Urie Kuki. Tsukiyama is about to win but then he feels bad since she’s the bride.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Houji/Tatara
There was one time Houji caught Tatara. It was shortly after he’d betrayed his lover, leading to the downfall of Che Shi Lian and the deaths of Yan and Fei. Right before Houji left the city, Tatara – not in an emotional state to think clearly – attacked, and this led to his capture by CCG.
They wanted to take him back for interrogation in Cochlea. The investigators were discussing their plans to make the ghouls they’d killed into quinques, and excited to see what would happen to Tatara once he was executed.
And Houji remembered the night Tatara first showed him his kagune, and that he was a ghoul, and that Houji’d been overcome with emotion partially because he loved that Tatara trusted him and he loved Tatara, but also because he knew this meant his suspicions were correct, and that he’d have to betray Tatara.
So Houji may have freed Tatara. Tatara may have tried to kill him, but didn’t. He’s never been sure why. Maybe he just didn’t want to lose anyone else at the moment.
Arieto
Arima had just been disciplined by Tsuneyoshi for a mistake on a mission that led to another ghoul escaping. He’d never really messed up before, and the consequences was a long lecture on what a damned failure of a half-breed he was, and a black eye. And a stern order not to return until his eye had healed.
Eto visited him that night – they’d arranged weekly trysts by that point. When she saw Arima, she was, as you may imagine, pissed. He had to talk her out of taking Tsuneyoshi’s head. She then decided to remind him that he was the only investigator who had beaten her, an unusual subject for prideful Eto to bring up.
Arima teased her about actually caring for him, and she retorted that by letting her live he might actually feel the same. Maybe. She then seduced him, used her regeneration to heal his eye, and left him the next morning.
Tsuneyoshi had expected Arima to be missing for a day or two. He was vexed to see Arima back that morning, and Arima just had to text Eto a play-by-play, much to her amusement.
Suzuhan
After dragon, Suzuya was afraid to talk to Kaneki. He knew he done fucked up, if you will.
Hanbee finally went to Kaneki himself, apologized, and they had a long talk. At the end, Hanbee led Kaneki to Suzuya’s house with the rest of S3. Kaneki and Suzuya forgave each other, and Hanbee was thrilled.
Suzuya asked Hanbee why he’d done that, and Kaneki said something like “I thought it was obvious he loves you.”
Hanbee promptly shrieked.
Suzuya tiptoed up to him and asked if that was true.
Hanbee admitted it was, and profusely apologized as if loving Suzuya was worse than trying to kill Kaneki. But then Suzuya tackled him in a kiss. Kaneki’s sole vengeance was texting a photo of their kiss to the rest of S3.
– For a long time, Tatara only says it to Houji.
– In person, sure, but he also leaves “Bye, Bitch” messages on Houji’s door, in his bed, on his ceiling…
– Tatara spray-paints it along Houji’s way to work.
– Eventually, Houji uses this to determine Aogiri’s location.
– When Eto finds out the real reason their base was discovered, she read Tatara the riot act for two hours straight.
– At the end of her spiel, Tatara says “Bye, Bitch” before slamming the door in her face.
– Their resulting fight was legendary.
I LOVE THIS SHIP.
“Eh? What time is it?” Houji glances at the clock.
“Don’t worry. I called out of work for you.” Tatara sashays back into their bedroom, two mugs of steaming coffee in his hands.
“You what?”
“You deserve a day off, you know.” Tatara sits at the edge of the bed. “Besides, we were up late last night.”
Houji colors. “True.”
“I made you breakfast, too!” Tatara puts his mug on the carpet and hurries out of the room. He returns with eggs and bacon, cooked to crispy perfection.
Houji is impressed. “You have good taste.”
“I like you, so I don’t know,” Tatara jokes. He, of course, does not partake in the good. He never can, Houji knows.
For a moment, he feels the tragedy of Tatara’s life as acutely as if it were his own. And he wishes it were. He wishes he were a ghoul who could stay with Tatara forever.
But for right now, he can spend a day with him. With the person who makes him breakfast in bed.
Houji holds up his mug in a toast. “To taking a day off.”
Tatara clinks his mug against Houji’s. “It’s about damn time.”
Yes, I think this is canon! isn’t Kaneki said to smell like a female ghoul in the original TG, because he has Rize’s kakuhou?
For those reading, in this scenario, Tatara is trans.
“I never expected someone so tall to be a girl,” says Torso, glancing up and down Tatara.
“I’m not,” Tatara says, keeping his usual icy demeanor.
As soon as Tatara leaves the room, Eto drifts over to their newest recruit.
“Hi there, Misogynist,” she purrs in his ear, leaping up to drape an arm over his shoulder. “Let’s not add transphobia to the list of your misdeeds.”
“I didn’t…”
“Look, you’ve heard us use male pronouns for Tatara. You mess up Tatara’s gender again, I’ll eat you,” Eto says, punctuating with a giggle. “Get it?”
“Uh – yes, of course!” Torso stammers, sweating.
“Good.” Eto slinks away. “I’m looking forward to your better behavior.”
Tatara: Wait.
Eto: Yes?
Tatara: You’ve known Chinese all along, haven’t you?
Eto: *smiles*
Tatara: So you’ve understood all of my conversations on the phone…
Eto: I particularly liked how you referred to Ayato as Blueberry Edgemuffin.
Ayato: WHAT
Eto: *runs off, laughing*
Tatara: *now has to deal with angry Blueberry Edgemuffin*
😉
Yoshimura Eto – is it possible to be both sensual, teasing, and yet so hardcore her partner is left breathless? Yes, it is, but only with Eto.
Tatara – A romantic kisser. Swept up in his arms, first with his lips and then with his tongue. Your mouth will be sore afterwards.
Yamori – There will be biting involved, because Yamori is ravenous for love.
Kirishima Ayato – He’s as blunt and tempestuous as his personality.
Naki – He’s a soft, anxious kisser.
Kusakari Miza – Full-blown passion. She holds nothing back.
Takizawa Seidou – He’s a sloppy, wet kisser, because kissing totally undoes him.
Yumitsu Tomoe – Her kisses are firm, closed-mouthed, and carefully timed.
Kiyoko/Itori
– it probably began with Itori volunteering to slip Kiyoko information on the clowns.
– Kiyoko was right not to trust her, because of course her information was BS.
– But they’d already become friends. Kiyoko cried upon hearing of Itori’s miscarriage, and Itori loved Kiyoko’s stories of her nephew.
– Eventually, Itori asked why Kiyoko kept meeting with her. “Because you’re fun,” Kiyoko replied. “Funny, because I say the same for you.”
– They kissed, and occasionally Kiyoko sees Itori watching from a distance when she’s in battle. Itori respects her girl’s power too much to interfere, but she’s there just in case.
– Itori visits Kiyoko in the hospital and gets Kiyoko to laugh for the first time after losing her legs. And then Itori cries with her, too.
Houji/Tatara
– Even in their breakup phase, Houji will still get text messages from random throwaway phones. They usually contain trolling references to his relationship with Tatara.
– Tatara has, of course, made all of Aogiri buy cheap phones to troll Houji with.
– Tatara once left his mask at Houji’s. He returned to see Houji wearing it, which he found unbearably sexy.
– Who kisses who first? Houji will say Tatara. Tatara will say Houji.
– Both are wrong. They were giving each other sultry glances and Eto, at that point a young upstart trying to recruit Tatara, banged their heads and lips together.
Oh, I’m so sorry – do you want a hug? ❤ ❤ ❤
“You’re joking,” says Arima.
“I’m totally not,” Eto says, straddling him. “Houji and Tatara are meeting in this same resort.”
“I thought Houji hated Tatara,” Arima says in confusion as Eto blinds him. And by blind, she removes his glasses so she can pepper his face with kisses.
“Gosh, you’re so distracting,” Eto murmurs. “Well, they do, but they sometimes realize all that hatred stems from love and arrange weekend trysts. Just like us, eh?”
“I don’t hate you,” Arima says, smiling a genuine smile at Eto. It takes her breath away. “I never have.”
“I know, Kishou.” Eto settles herself atop his chest. “I love you, too.”
Across the hotel, Houji glares at Tatara. “This doesn’t make up for anything.”
“I’m the one who lost family because of you,” Tatara retorts, handing him a perfectly crafted White Russian. The same drink he made the night they met. “Well? Is it as good as you remember?”
“Damn you,” growls Houji. “You can’t even drink it. How can you make something so good?”
“I’m talented.” Tatara smirks and reaches for his bottle of blood wine.
“An entire bottle?”
“I never get drunk.” Tatara grins.
Houji colors. Because he has, often, in front of Tatara. In fact, Tatara used to tuck him into bed and take care of him when he was hungover.
“I’ve always wondered,” says Tatara, “why you drank so much if you knew I was a ghoul. If you were undercover.”
Houji hangs his head. “I did because I was desperate for you to have one, just one, drink with me, so I could call CCG off you.”
Tatara purses his lips to cover his emotions. “I see.”
He tilts his head. “Kiss me.”
“I thought you’d never want that again.” Houji lunges for him.
“I’ll always want you,” Tatara whispers in his lover’s ear.
