back at it again (right -> left)
Today we are sharing the recipe for an adorable mixture đđą
I had a sort of angsty idea this morning so I must inflict it upon other people.
I call it âreverse Iruma AUâ. instead of a human that was kidnapped to the demon world, itâs a demon that was kidnapped to the human world.
In this, Iruma is Sullivanâs grandchild, related to him by blood. Sully gained custody of him after both his parents died. So he is Sullyâs world, doted on and loved.
There was an old, outdated tradition of demons spending time in the human world to understand it better(esp demon king candidates). Sully thinks this is a great idea and decides itâs just what little Iruma needs (and itâll put him somewhere reasonably safe for a time since the demon world is in turmoil and he wants to keep him safe).
So he brings him to meet the Suzukiâs, a family he trusts as he spent time with them when he was a boy (unfortunately what he didnât know and had no way of knowing was that while the Suzukiâs he knew were good people, their current descendants, suck). They seem nice and kind and promise to look after him, and Sullivan promises to come back after one years time.
And he does, one year later he returns. Except. The Suzukiâs and Iruma, are gone. The house is long abandoned and the neighbours are just like âidk, they moved away several months ago and didnât leave a forwarding addressâ.
Sullivan is, understandably, beside himself. Iruma is his family, the only family he has left, and now heâs gone. Stolen by people Sullivan trusted to care for him! So he searches and searches, constantly coming back to the human world despite the protests of Demon Border Patrol to please stop! All the time off is causing him to neglect his duties to the Netherworld. Eventually, after years of searching and pestering from DBP, he finally has to stop and accept he may never see his grandson again. But just cause he canât go to the human world to search for Iruma, doesnât mean the search wonât continue. He just, sends someone else.
All anyone not in the know knows is that Iruma just vanished one day and Sullivan became depressed and withdrawn, so everyone kind of assumes the worst happened.
On the Iruma side of things, things were good at first, they were nice. Then they all left on a âtripâ (in reality they were bailing on the house to go elsewhere).
Slowly, Iruma was, basically gaslighted into thinking none of it was real. When he asked about seeing his grandpa they just said they couldnât anymore cause heâd passed away (that was why theyâd moved after all, the place was to full of sad memories. And when he brought up things like flying they were just âoh what an imaginationâ. And since Iruma was young he just, began to believe it after a while (also, since he was staying on earth his horns and wings and demonic features were hidden with glamour). He still has hazy memories of his grandpa and things like magic and flying, but as he grows just assumes he had a very active imagination as a child.
He also ends up with a deep aversion to mirrors that he canât explain. when he looks in them what he sees just feels, wrong somehow. He canât put his finger on why, so he just straight up avoids looking in a mirror.
But then one day, when heâs around, ~14, a black cat follows him home.
Itâs adorable and clingy and his parents are just like âyeah sure ig you can keep it, but you have to look after itâ when he asks about keeping it. He decides to name it 'Operaâ (he doesnât know why, cause itâs such a weird name but it just, felt right). Irumaâs also the only person it seems to like, itâs indifferent to everyone else and hates his parents.
The cat occasionally vanishes for days at a time but always comes back. until one day it doesnât. but a strange man with horns and wings does appear and spirits him away. Heâs scared at first, but as theyâre flying through this strange world, he feels this overwhelming sense of nostalgia. He knows this place. Knows this man, heâs sure of it.
Obviously enough, the cat /was/ Opera, tasked with finding Iruma by Sully years ago. The only reason Opera didnât just, eviscerate Irumaâs parents on the spot (and oh boy did they want to) was cause they didnât want to cause the boy any more trauma. They did get a few good swipes in tho and did draw blood on more than one occasion. which was cathartic enough. Opera figured out Iruma was the boy he was looking for b/c Iruma called him Opera but also b/c of the things Iruma would talk to them about (his hazy memories from his time in the netherworld, memories of Sullivan etc)
Only a handful of people in the Netherworld actually know the details of what happened to Iruma. All most people know is, Sullivan had a grandson that he doted and loved. Then one day the boy was just, gone, and Sullivan grew depressed and distracted and just, was not himself. So like, they all kind of assumed the worst.
Then like a decade later a boy shows up at Babyls that Sullivan insists is in fact his grandson.
Sully would, absolutely be a massive helicopter parent and never want to let Iruma out of his sight ever again. Iruma has, his own issues. His wings are stunted in their growth and atrophied from lack of use. He wants to fly so badly but he just, canât. Wings too small and weak. also the first time he sees himself in a mirror after the glamour comes off, and he sees his horns he just about cries. not from fear but just cause, he looks right. Thatâs him in the mirror, not that weird imposter. He also has some mad separation anxiety, getting terrified anytime someone leaves him alone.
side note but Kalego was very baffled (and maybe, maybe a touch worried) when Opera just, fucking vanished for several years (the time they spent searching for Iruma). Like, Sullivan was always accompanied by Opera and then one day the cat butler was just, fucking gone. He swears he wasnât worried but he sure did find himself feeling better when Opera did reappear.
your john is incredibly precious to me thank you <3
i'm glad you liked him!!
trans womenâs genitals are not so repulsive that they need to be totally hidden through our clothes at the expense of our health and safety and for the sake of your comfort.
if cis men donât have to tuck then neither do trans women.
