Sep. 19th, 2020 12:40 pmFollow-up to A Place for Cordelia Miyamoto.
Quick rundown: In this universe, Japan is run by the women. Miyamoto Suna is Xander, and she's a matriarch of the Miyamoto Family, or Miyamoto-gumi. The pinky thing was also referenced in Phoenix Spirit as yubitsume, and in an article about actual yakuza playing Yakuza 3 the journalist offhandedly mentioned that several of the members had issues holding the controllers. The word bokutou is preferred over bokken because it's more precise (at least, so says my research), meaning a wooden katana. Irezumi youkai are the 'tattoo-spirits' all yakuza have, and invoking one gives the colored fiery aura seen in Ryu ga Gotoku (Yakuza) games. Inoue-chan is Andrew. Ofukuro = Boss, Miyamoto's title, and Ani-san = Yakuza Husband, Cordy's title. Oh, uh, also, and I might have forgot to mention this in at least one previous fic, Suna and Sunao or Nao-kun are the same person. Miyamoto is genderfluid and simultaneously at peace with it/confident in their choices and more messed up than canon.
More author's notes: background notes
Specific fic-related Author's Notes: tbh what are titles
Like her counterpart (the one from Slayer's Mad Whelp, and possibly canon depending on how traumatic Faith was and what direction Xander's PTSD chose to take it) Suna really doesn’t like not being able to breathe. That’s on Kumai, this time.
Cordy really should’ve asked before she hugged Miyamoto at the end, but she doesn’t quite have a normal barometer for touch, particularly in Japanese society, and fortunately it’s not something that makes Suna’s particular issues worse.
Main Points:
Buffy/Yakuza AU (Bloody Petals)
Chapter Summary: Cordy and Miyamoto spar, and Miyamoto has a panic attack.
Word Count: 1863
Rating: Teen
