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.

After finishing jjk, I found myself craving something more- so I started writing this story! I wanted to explore a relationship that Gege Akutami never fully shows, yet very subtly hints at: the shared past between Gojo Satoru and Utahime Iori. I've always felt that their connection runs far deeper than what appears on the surface - something that began long before the Hidden Inventory Arc (Season 2). This story is my attempt to imagine how their bond might have taken shape... and how it quietly grew over the years. The narrative is divided into three/four parts, following them at different stages of their lives: Part 1 : 2000 ; Gojo Satoru (11), Ioiri Utahime (13) Part 2 : 2003-2008 ; Satoru (14-18), Utahime (16-20) Part 3 : 2016-2017 ; Gojo Satoru (26-27), Ioiri Utahime (28-29) Interlude : 2018 ; Gojo Satoru (29), Ioiri Utahime (31) If the childhood arc isn't your thing, feel free to start from Part 2 - but some threads might resonate more if you follow their story from the beginning. (The mature sign is for the end of Part 2-Part 3, when they are not minors anymore.) 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. It is thanked to them that the fandom is still alive
