His Own Way
no, kiryu, you cannot punch all your problems
Main Points:
Yakuza
Summary: Kiryu sees Majima-san acting uncharacteristically.
Word Count: 1435
Rating: Teen
pre-Kiryu/Majima (probably)
less mild spoilers about Kiwami (mentions a lot of the main plot points/characters)
warning: references the problematic ending of the goromi stuff (in a 'that was messed up and I'm sorry' way), implication of (probably) adults mistreating young kiryu because he likes to think it through before he answers, so in general some lgbtq+ stuff plus some possibly neurodivergent stuff. just implications, but it's good to warn because there is some mistreatment regarding that.

Anniversary Promises
( vague spoilers )Majima's Kansai-ben returns. You could, if you didn't particularly care about spoilers or are caught up, read this as a companion piece to essence of unrequited love tonally (although the hc for that one is that they never have this conversation). they're beautiful and sad and will stab you in the arm like Majima.
Main Points:
Yakuza
Summary: Kiryu's confession doesn't go particularly well.
Word Count: 2455
Rating: Teen (because a) Majima swears, b) hints at violence, c) it's a painful shipfic, d) (1) singular innuendo, e) all of the above)
spoilers for Kiwami 2 and vague spoilers up to 5
The epilogue exists because halfway through I remembered some of the stuff that happens in Kiwami 2 and went ...yeah, uhm, I mean, I guess you sorta tried, Majima, given your conflicting promises and all
Pairing: Kiryu/Majima, mentioned Kiryu/Sayama
any characters other than Kiryu or Majima are just mentioned and do not actually appear.
Warnings: Majima PoV. Majima kind of is his own warning, really.
( kiryu deserves the world )
essence of unrequited love
this hit me as hard as it did xander because it kinda came out of nowhere
this is another fic in which everything is not capitalized for whatever reason. It just seemed to fit the aesthetic, I don't know. Most people tagged are only mentioned, but are important to the story, so.
Main Points:
Buffy/Yakuza AU, not a follow-up to anything
Chapter Summary: Xander has a painful revelation.
Word Count: 1873
Rating: Teen
Spoilers for Yakuza through 5, also set-post Buffy finale, so spoilers for that, too
Unrequited (or at least unrealized) Majima/Kiryu discussed
Warnings: PTSD, sexual harassment, mentioned torture
( heartbreak )
