what do you see when you look at the world...

Two words: cat café. / the softest AU

Nyanko-sensei is on the hunt. / post-Chapter 70

It's called a stakeout. Ft. boredom, questionable purchases, and even more questionable actions

A thoroughly domestic thing.

Nishimura Satoru wishes he were braver. / introspection during Vol.22 Ch.87

Seiji revisits an abandoned train station. / missing scene during Vol.22: Special Ch.19

Wherein Takashi panics because his greatest strength and weakness is his heart.

Natsume and friends play in the snow.

Wherein a female Matoba Seiji lives life unfettered, for all that her gender would undo her.

Natsume is convinced that he should leave the Fujiwaras. Why would he when he thinks of them as family?

Natsume and Sensei visit the Winchester Mystery House.

Natsume tries to go to school sick, but thankfully Touko is on the watch. - Just some sickfic fluff and parental Touko to warm your heart.

'No' Madara roared, his powerful cry knocking those around unconscious. Because he knew there was no cure for a mermaid's blood. But it was too late. And come whatever may, Madara had experienced the same fate long ago: he would show Natsume that this was as much a gift as it was a curse. Because in the end, the world has an infinity to offer, if you are willing to accept it.

For the 2018 Natsume Secret Santa over on Tumblr. Taki and Tanuma come to spend the night at the Fujiwaras' after Hitoyoshi's worst storm in decades leaves the town without power, and Taki shares a mysterious moment with Natsume in the middle of the night. (Fluffy/domestic; romance if you squint, gen if you don't)

There are too many thoughts in his head tonight – every time he closes his eyes, another reveals itself – but at least he can say the following wasn't one of his: "We could tell bed time stories." Gift fic for Underdog Hero.

Tumblr prompt fills: [1] Can you do a happy fluffy Natsume fic involving winter holidays? If you wanna do shippy I'd like TanuNatsu; [2] Can you do Matoba Seiji&Natori Shuuich? Anything is fine

When Takashi dies, he dies young, like his grandmother and his parents. He is eighteen years old and newly graduated from high school. He takes a year off before going to college. He loves his home far too much to abandon it so easily. When Takashi dies, he comes home. The yōkai no longer speak about Natsume Reiko.

[Natori/Natsume] [drabble] Ia, dan perasaannya yang selalu dipendam.

Ana, seorang murid pertukaran pelajar yang bisa melihat hantu suatu hari bertemu dengan murid aneh penyendiri. Tidak ada yang mau berteman dengan anak itu karena rumor yang mengatakan bahwa murid penyendiri itu berteman dengan iblis. Dan, siapa sangka Ana malah jatuh cinta dengan murid tersebut. Nasib mereka sama. Namun akankah takdir mereka bersatu?

Takashi never liked to abuse his power, and he liked it even less so when others did it. Too bad the child he'd made a contract with brought the worst out in both of them.

"I wonder if you will become attached to me someday-" Natsume once said such words to his constant companion. When their long-ago promise is finally fulfilled, Madara realizes that those words have become truth. If Natsume could somehow be revived, what would he do? The ayakashi has always desired the Book of Friends, but could he have come to value Natsume enough to give it up?

(AU) 16 year-old Seiji is preparing to become the head of the Matoba clan, and is presented with a Shiki of his own to train and raise. Fascinated with the golden-eyed demon child, he brings up "Natsume" to be a loyal servant and companion. However, the strict laws of the Matoba forbid emotional connections to demons, even one's own familiars... (Short chapters. Rating may change.)

In a quest to free Natsume Reiko, Natsume Takashi discovers his grandfather and encounters revelations that were better left unsaid. Knowledge is another heavy burden that Takashi must bear. Or, wherein, Natsume Takashi finds that his grandfather is just as strange and bold as his grandmother. (sequel to Natsume Reiko's Book of Friends)

Nyanko goes out drinking, Matoba and Natsume make use of their time alone.
