oh my god. oH HHHHHHHHHHH NMY GOD U WROTE ME TENDER HOSTAGESHIP CHOKING IM ABOUT TO LEAVE MY PHYSICAL BODY. postcanon cohabitation is like.... MY FAVE SHUN/REIJI ENDGAME HEADCANON i have no idea how you managed to fit in so many of my favourite things to read about in less than 500 words i am in awe and i love you. SPECIFICS THAT I LOVED:
- the absolutely incredible physicality of the entire thing, shun's hyperawareness of his body and reiji's body, the contrast between shun's fingers pressing hard into his own chest and reiji's gentle hold on his neck, the fact that this gesture of threat is /grounding/ for shun and that he ACTIVELY INVITES IT even if he can't bring himself to articulate it - THESE POWER DYNAMICS I LOVE THEM SO MUCH... even when reiji is offering comfort to shun it sounds like an order which is the best flavour of hostageship - 'Reiji takes it for the invitation it is, slipping his hand around Shun's throat without applying any pressure. It's just contact. Reassurance, in the strange way that Shun needs it, that Reiji provides it.' L;OUD INCOHERENT SCREAMING this is so INTIMATE - AND SHUN COMPARING REIJI'S HAND ON HIS NECK TO THE RESISTANCE SCARF WHICH IS A PARALLEL I HADNT THOUGHT OF BEFORE AND NOW ITS GOING TO CONSUME MY ENTIRE LIFE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE - like. except for reiji giving orders this entire exchange is nonverbal and im so OVERJOYED about shun actually finding the familiarity necessary for it a reassuring thing omg... 'It takes much more than this for Reiji to actually put words to his concern.' !!!!!!!!! THIS ENDED ME, THANKS - OK SO I HAVENT ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT THE CHOKING YET BUT YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL JHASFGDSH'F touch without pressure!!! the acknowledgement of trust!!!! THE VIOLENCE/TENDERNESS THING I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!! reiji tightening his fingers slightly and then drawing away!!!!! OH MY GOD - also i have A Thing for hands and shoulderblades so, thank you for that, - JUST IN GENERAL THIS IS SUCH A PERFECT GLIMPSE OF THE BEST CASE SCENARIO FOR POSTCANON HOSTAGESHIP ik im obsessed with early s1 hostageshipping but godddd im so fond of the equilibrium youve sketched out here. THANK YOU KII SORRY FOR DRAGGING YOU INTO THE PITS OF CARD GAME HELL BUT IM GLAD YOURE HERE WITH ME ANYWAY
