Chapter Text
I am including a long-ass author’s note, but if you do not want to read it, feel free to skip to the next chapter, which is where this fic begins :)
─────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────────
I started watching Mob Psycho 100 earlier this year (after seeing so many Gojo/Reigen edits on my feed lol) and I felt so inspired to this fic! As of my current plan, it is 90% JJK and 10% Mob Psycho, but that could change. I am also a bereft reader of the JJK manga and writing this will be so healing lol (shout out to you if you have read chapter 236 through eyes blinded by never-ending tears like I was! And I have reread it many times for this fic and cried every time!). The JJK manga will always hold a special place in my heart as the first manga I read from start to finish. And JJK was the first anime I had watched (back when it was first coming out) after a 6 year break! I love all of these little guys so much, but Gojo and Haibara have such special places in my heart.
I was sooo inspired by Alette’s “Wrong(Right) Us” series here on ao3. I hope that’s okay to say (if not, I will remove this mention upon request). I love text fics and this series was the first time I saw that formatted in a way that perfectly scratched my brain. I took a lot of inspiration from their text fic formatting into this work- it just makes the most sense to me now! (I love everything Alette writes- huge shout out to their work!).
As far as cultural refernces, I want to give a disclaimer. I am still using the locations as Tokyo vs. Kyoto, but not every part of this fic will be realistic or culturally aligned with Japan. This is something fun I was working on and decided to not stress myself out over research and being at all canon compliant. I only looked things up if I wanted to, not out of a sense of needing to be 100% correct. I tried my best to keep the characters acting as we think they might. There is a little bit of a crossover that happens between the fandoms, but it is not the central part of the fic, though it is my favorite part hehe. And as this is a fun work for me, I will not have a dedicated update schedule. It will get updated as I write it :P
I hope you enjoy this work! If you are here from reading my Bananafish/Ateez work, or my Jean/Marco fics, welcome back, and I am happy to have you still here with me :) If this is the first time you are reading one of my fics- welcome! I am always so happy to hear your thoughts, reactions, and feelings in the comments here or on my Tumblr account. I use my Tumblr to post updates and timelines for my fics, as well as reblog memes related to what I’m interested in at the time.
