A ruinene fanfic. Wonderlands x Showtime broke up 1.5 years ago after the death of their "troupe leader" Tsukasa Tenma in a mechanical accident. This "mechanical" thing was Rui's Tsukasa-Robo that he made for Tsukasa, and he thinks it is all his fault that he is dead. This is mostly going to be how Nene is trying to save Rui from sadness and depression, so Emu isn't going to be the feature in this. Also, italics mean flashbacks and my writing sucks. AND ALL CHARACTERS AREN'T MINE, BUT THE WRITING IS.

CONTAINS GOOD GRAMMAR In this journey, Rui Kamishiro and Nene Kusanagi have been inseparable since childhood, bonded by their love for creating shows and performances! As they grow older, Nene begins to struggle with social anxiety, while Rui becomes isolated by the cruelty of his peers and his own perfectionism. While Nene tries to battle her fears, Rui falls deeper into his loneliness, pushing her away. Nene desperately tries to reach him before he loses himself, but Rui's battle with his inner demons and Nene's social anxiety threatens to drive them apart forever. Through their shared past and a desire to rebuild their connection, both Nene and Rui must find a way to see the beauty in the world they once dreamed of creating together.

"How could you...do that?" he chuckled at the futile question. "To fulfill your wish," he said it nonchalantly. "That was a world made just for you." Under a narrow roof on a freezing rainy day held two people-- one of which was as flustered as can be, and the other the opposite. Yet, perhaps fate has more than just that encounter in store for them. --- //previously named "cycles of love and fate" and yes i change titles like i change my pajamas: relatively often but not everyday rui x fem!reader written by: ffeymi (me) °° #1 out of 159 in #ruikamishiro (20/3/23) °° #2 out of 733 in #pjsk (9/6/23) °° #1 out of 309 in #wxs (16/7/23) °° #1 out of 172 in #prsk (27/6/23) [this fic is getting a rewrite in the near future! brace yourself for some cringe from this 3 year old fic 🫰] READ "Bygones and Curses" ON MY PROFILE (significantly better rui fic!)
