For 𝐘𝐔𝐙𝐔𝐊𝐈 𝐁𝐀𝐘𝐀, all worlds contain dangerous elements- though she might even be safer in the Borderlands; the laws she broke don't apply here. 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎̄ 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 knows about her actions all too well. He's not interested in redemption, yet something about her piques his curiosity. Perhaps the fact that her illegal activities affected him on a daily basis. Once they enter the Borderlands, they pretend not to know each other. But both of them are always keeping a sharp eye out. Waiting for the other to crack. Waiting, maybe, for the moment they lose a game. 𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 - a vision seen in sleep; a dream Chishiya x OC Alice In Borderland

♜ Shuntarō Chishiya x Fem Reader ♞ "Alice in Borderland" SEASON 2 ♝ No Smut, Only Angst "I had nothing left to lose, but now I do. I can't lose you, not again, not ever." • FINAL WORD COUNT: 85.07k • ꧁♚--------{♛}--------♚꧂ Y/N Chinen has Dissociative Amnesia, which is memory loss caused by trauma or stress, resulting in the struggle of recalling personal information. She was diagnosed with this mental disorder when she was young after an unknown event that left her traumatized and forgetful. Y/N remembers nothing but fragments of her youth, including the people involved, but with psychotherapy, she doesn't tend to forget crucial things in the present. But, that was before the world flipped upside down, where Y/N woke up in the hospital completely alone. Days go by living in this Borderland, never leaving the state of shock as she participates in immortal games. But, without her doctor giving her psychotherapy, she forgets fragments of things that happen the day before. To keep herself sane and safe, she writes in a journal to keep track of who she is now rather than who she was before, a participant in the Borderlands. As days go by in the Borderlands, Y/N forgets how much time passes by before the face cards were introduced. This new stage introduces her to Shuntarō Chishiya, a man who seems like a stranger to her, but in reality was the same doctor who gave her psychotherapy.

They call it the 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐌𝐀𝐍'𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 - a pair of black aces, a pair of black eights. Legend says it's a losing hand, but not because it's weak. But because it comes too late. It was supposed to be Clubs and Spades, teamwork and brute violence. But it was the Heart and the Diamond that killed them in the end. ✧.*˚ ༘ * 𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐒𝐔 𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐈 was born to read cards and lie with a smile. A poker prodigy turned addict, she traded real life for the thrill of risk long before she ever entered the Borderlands. Cold, calculating, and cursed to always play one move ahead, she doesn't believe in luck - only patterns, weakness, and blood. ✧.*˚ ༘ * 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 trusts no one, cares for nothing, and walks through death like it's just another puzzle to solve. He doesn't play with hearts - but he knows exactly how to break them. Aloof and unreadable, he's mastered the Borderlands like a game of logic. But when a girl who sees through masks steps into his game, even he might have to show a card.

With plenty of struggles, 𝐘𝐔𝐙𝐔𝐊𝐈 𝐁𝐀𝐘𝐀 and 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎̄ 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 made it out of the Borderlands safely. Now their lives are becoming peaceful. At least, as peaceful as life gets with three kids. Chishiya was convinced he'd never experience something worse than being buried alive, but when his youngest daughter 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐀 starts to show a little too much interest in Arisu and Usagi's son-𝐊𝐀𝐄𝐃𝐄-, he begins to long for the coffin again. In ancient myths, realms like the underworld are never truly destroyed; they only get put 'to sleep' by powerful anchors- linchpins, for example. So when the linchpin's oldest son gets too close to the everlasting playing cards, he 𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 something familiar.

Il sangue che ti resta addosso non è mai solo tuo, e avere l'anima macchiata è uno dei più grandi dolori. Shiori lo sa bene. Il suo corpo racconta una storia fatta di errori, fiducia mal riposta e ferite che non hanno mai avuto il tempo di guarire. Intrappolata in una realtà che non riconosce come propria, ha imparato a difendersi e a nascondersi dietro l'ironia, perché qui mostrarsi vulnerabili equivale a firmare una condanna. Nelle 𝘛𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘪 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦 l'amore non salva, protegge solo per un istante, e ogni legame può trasformarsi in un'arma. 𝐁𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃 non chiede chi sei stato. Ti chiede cosa sei disposto a 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘦.
