Did you know? KUROKEN MARRIED! Too bad no one told them. So happy to share my first krkn fic:

All the Ways
A getting together & feelings realization #KuroKen story.

A simple block color image that frames the text with a black silhouette of a sitting cat in the bottom corner.

Text reads:
All the Ways - Kr/Kn, rated E, 6/6 ch, 20k

Kuroo gives Kenma a call after drinking with some friends; a not uncommon occurrence. But when he falls asleep, he forgets one crucial detail.

Kenma gets a lecture, does some reflecting, and makes some realizations.

It can be hard to see what's always been right in front of you.

Sometimes, you just need a wake up call.

my art for the @kurokenbang2025.bsky.social ! In collaboration with @sugawarasmole.bsky.social , I made this art based on their fic "All the Ways"!

Check it out here:
archiveofourown.org/works/70151391

art by Citriqa, of timeskip Kenma and Kuroo. Kenma is sitting on a big red floor couch, with a small table in front of him with his laptop, which has many stickers on it. He is in his apartment, with a large window of the city in the background, as well as a tall shelf with many figurines, posters, and toys.
Kenma sits at his laptop with a shocked but blushing expression, his airpods wisp into a bubble showing Kuroo's silhouette, moaning in the dark. He says "mmf….. fuck- h-ha-mmm!~ that's it, yea" before it trails off. just between you and me, he's getting off be he's drunk af and he's about to moan Kenma's name in a couple of seconds. Read the fic!!!

It wouldn't be an understatement for Tetsurou to say he knows his body as much as he can.

So when he wakes up on a Saturday and does not feel the hangover he is supposed to be feeling after being dragged to an izakaya by his coworkers last night, he knows something is wrong immediately. When he opens his eyes and, for the first time since he was a child, everything seems big and not just big but way too fucking big, he knows something is very, very wrong.

When he pushes himself up and instead flops over and out of bed in his hurried movement and a tangle of limbs and does not feel a rough impact and instead lands on all four feet, he knows he is utterly fucked.

Four feet.

He looks down and sees two black paws.

The horrified scream that tries clawing its way out of his throat leaves him as what might have been a meow if he knew how to make that sound. Instead, it's a scratchy yowl that sounds like a cat being murdered.

—

Or: Instead of confessing, Tetsurou tries to get over loving Kenma by staying away from him. It backfires, and suddenly, he's living life as a cat. At Kenma's house. And with no idea how to fix this. Surely this can't get any worse. Right?
