• rating: ★★★★☆
• notes: ah yes... the infamous chapter 236. this author's take on stsg finally reuniting (albeit not in an ideal way. but well this is gege you can't expect much) in the afterlife is bittersweet but i love how they get to confess everything to each other and not just their romantic feelings. it's definitely some type of closure they both deserve

• notes: i honestly didn't even realize how jujutsu tech kids don't get a prom (even though it should be the most obvious thing ever considering. y'know. they aren't normal students) BUT this story gives us a little glimpse of that and stsg are so cute and silly in this i love them

• notes: sweet little adult stsg reunion before everything went to shit (aka shibuya). it's a nice little "what if" moment and helps fulfill that emptiness you feel anytime you think about literally anything after shibuya

• rating: ★★★★★
• notes: ah yes. one of my favorite little tropes: truth-inducing supernatural force bringing about embarrassment to the unfortunate soul who became the victim of it, in this case, getou. stsg are so cute and silly in this but when are they not. also gojo is a little shit but what do you expect when he finds out that getou can't lie

• notes: all i will say is that the revelation you will have will disorient you for a bit. i was literally sitting on my bed, hand gripping my phone, hand over mouth--everything. it was crazy but i love how the author decided to execute this story

• rating: ★★★★★
• notes: ouch. yeah this one hurt. i like being able to view teen stsg's relationship through baby megumi's eyes and because of his pov, he gets away with asking blunt and too-personal questions that gojo is obligated to answer. it's an interesting perspective but in a way it almost makes the period in which stsg grow distant even sadder when you're viewing it through a kid's innocent eyes, through someone who doesn't fully understand why they began acting the way they did. okay enough rambling i'll end it off by saying your heart will ache at the end but that's to be expected

• notes: this one is split between stsg and itfs pretty evenly so... if you don't care for the latter then :p BUT if you do, then definitely read this. i laughed a lot everyone is so stupid and i love them

• rating : ★★★★★
• notes : not to be crass but i'm a whore for poetry-inspired fics. seriously. when an author introduces a story with a poetry piece i know it's about to be good. anyway this is another cc stsg fic (hooray...? let's go...?) so you know what's about to go down. but the great thing about having so many cc stsg fics from different authors is that there'll still be differences because of different interpretations so! it doesn't really get repetitive (imo)

• rating : ★★★★☆
• notes : more cc, character study, and poetry-inspired excellence from the previous author. a short and (not so) sweet story about how much stsg love each other despite being doomed by the narrative

you love me wrong by hiraethia ❤

• rating : ★★★★★
• notes : first and foremost, the stsg in this fic is really just pining (peep the unresolved romantic tension tag). this story heavily focuses on studying the complicated relationship between getou and his parents (as the author decided to interpret), but it's so good. if you have mommy issues, then reading this might hit especially hard, but it's seriously such a tragically beautiful fic
