There is more than one side to every story. The labels of 'hero' and 'villain' become muddled depending on whose perspective the story is being told from. When Makina Aguni is transported to the Borderland alongside her older brother and his best friend, she has no idea what will soon unfold in her life. Aiding in the creation of the paradise known as The Beach, she watches at it destroys those she cares most about until all that is left is flames and nobody's hands are left unbloodied. * BOOK 1 of the 𝐁𝐋𝐔𝐄 series [ covers season 1 ]. ⁓⁓⁓⁓⁓ #1 in niragisuguru (14 March, 2025)🥇 #1 in aliceinborderland (10 May, 2025)🥇 #1 in aib (11 May, 2025)🥇 #1 in aguni (15 May, 2025)🥇 #1 in jdrama (27 May, 2025)🥇 #1 in niragi (24 June, 2025)🥇 #1 in canonxoc (25 September, 2025)🥇 #1 in niragixoc (26 November, 2025)🥇 ⁓⁓⁓⁓⁓ Completed wordcount*: 220,033 words!!

╰┈➤ 𝐃𝐑. 𝐘𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐈 𝐍𝐎𝐙𝐈𝐊𝐈.. had spent the last five years navigating that delicate intersection between medicine and heartbreak. A congenital heart surgeon at Sakurazaka University Hospital, she specialized in the anomalies of the heart-not emotional ones, but physical. Correcting heart defects in newborns and children was her domain. Her hands, small and steady, carried the weight of fragile lives daily. 𝐃𝐑. 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑Ō 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀, however, was an entirely different story. A cardiovascular surgeon at the same hospital, he was known for his razor-sharp intellect, clinical brilliance, and the unsettling stillness of his expression. If Yurei was warmth disguised as frost, Chishiya was frost with no disguise at all. Where she softened every interaction, he stripped his down to necessity. His presence in a room made silence feel heavier, not warmer.

╰┈➤ 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐎.. was soft. That's how people saw her, though nobody ever saw the true horror beneath her skin. Her "kind" act was nothing but a cover up, and the Borderlands was ready to rip her open. Luckily, Chiyo had never been too afraid of exposure. 𝐍𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐈.. was rough, but he had been shaped that way-sharpened by every bruise life carved into him. People only saw the violence on the surface, but no one knew the real source of that darkness, or how it had been her hands-her actions, her absence, her choices-that slowly molded him into this version of himself. And worst of all, she knew it. She had watched the light drain from him, piece by piece, until only this version of him remained. (Will continue when s3 releases!)

𝓔𝐋𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐀 𝓜𝐈𝐙𝐔𝐊𝐈 was that doll you never wanted. A porcelain beauty left to rot in flower pressed graves that simply took the skin of a beautiful, human psychiatrist. She never minded seeing her porcelain skin covered in blood and wept tears if that meant to know the answer to love. 𝓣hen, she looked into the mirror. 𝓢𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎 𝓒𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 was a heart surgeon who didn't understand love. Didn't need love. An empty soul bearing the skin of an empty human. He worked with careful precision and emotionless strategy that didn't require feelings, or did he believe in finding the answer to love. He didn't understand hearts, he learnt to fix them. Well, only theirs and never his own. 𝓣wo morbid souls who could never truly accept each other- or maybe just their own, distorted reflections. 𝓣hey simply follow each other, falling down into the rabbit hole- just two heartless, empty dolls, one born to save, and the other to heal fractured hearts, finding themselves in the Borderlands. 𝓣here there is no room for morality, nor principles, let alone for judging what is good and what is evil. 𝓟erhaps that is what makes humanity so beautiful to people who already lost theirs. ──── 🃚 ──── started: july 3rd 2025 status: incomplete ended: n/a

Rina Shiratori and Mika Yukimura have been best friends for what feels like forever. Opposites attract, after all. The "golden retriever and black cat" duo. Literally. And best friends tell each other everything, right? But what if you suddenly end up in some messed-up parallel world - a place between life and death - where you have to play cruel games to survive? A place where your best friend turns into a stranger, and a stranger becomes your best friend? How are you supposed to trust anyone ever again after being betrayed by the one person you swore you knew better than yourself? ••••♡•••• 'polaroid' from Rina's POV. Arisu x OC [Alice In Borderland]

An invisible thread, unseen and unspoken, tugged at something deep within 𝐒𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐫𝐚. It wasn't love, not yet. It was a recognition, a profound sense of familiarity in an Alien world. 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐲𝐚 for his part, felt it too. A curious pull towards the girl who fought so fiercely against the very instincts that kept them both alive. He, who felt nothing, found himself drawn to her raw, unmasked humanity, even as she tried to bury it. He, who understood logic, found himself intrigued by the illogical current that now flowed between them. [Alice in Borderland S1-2] [Shuntaro Chishiya x OC]
