Y/N thought she still had time - time to protect her little sister Riko, time to laugh with her friends, time to believe in a future beyond duty. Alongside Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, Y/N fights to keep Riko safe on their mission to unite her with Master Tengen. But when the mission falls apart, and everything Y/N loves is ripped away, she's left clinging to grief, rage, and the broken pieces of herself. Through the wreckage, Satoru Gojo becomes her anchor - and maybe, just maybe, the one person who can teach her how to keep living. But she has so much holding her back. Her pain, her trauma, and her newfound Cursed Technique.

This fanfic takes place after Geto leaves Jujutsu High. Gojo Satoru's father calls for him for an urgent meeting, which he attends half heartedly. When he finds out the real reason he is summoned, he goes berserk. There might be Mature content in the later chapters. Please read at your own risk.

For this story, I wanted to dive more into the past of Gojo and Utahime. This is something that we didn't see in the manga, but I feel like these two characters knew each other for a long time (way before the Hidden Inventory Arc.) Part 1 : Gojo Satoru (11), Ioiri Utahime (13) Part 2 : Gojo Satoru (16), Ioiri Utahime (18) Part 3 : Gojo Satoru (20), Ioiri Utahime (22) (If the childhood part doesn't interest you, you can skip to the teenagers' years. And the mature sign is only for the 3rd part.) I hope you will like it ! :) Also, sorry for my English. I'm french ! Credits to all the owners of the fanarts that I used (for the cover too)! Thank you so much to them. Start date : 01.04.2024
