I've been listening to Good Luck Babe by Chapell Roan and I'm thinking about Hakukai 😭 from Hakuba's perspective.

With how Kaito is such an avoidance attachment kinda person, it kinda fits. Feels like that would be where Hakuba couldn't take Kaito's secrecy anymore and said they need to go on a break while Hakuba travels somewhere 😭

Guysss pls vote!! I can’t believe Hakukai is losing in the Semi Final!!! Those with X account pls vote!!

Guys, I have thoughts.

Gosho Boys as idol groups… I wonder what prototype they’ll be?

Hakuba is the: cool, young master/ouji-sama type ofc.

Kaito has maknae of the group vibes (he’s not)

Hattori is the sporty, personable one with cute accent

Shinichi is the one with the most funny fan edits because of his half-lidded eyes expression whenever the other three get into shenanigans

I'm thinking about: years later, when the whole KID and pandora thing had long concluded, Hakuba and Kaito moved in together (could be in Tokyo, could be abroad for Hakuba's new job consulting Interpol/MI6). As they unpacked, they found their Holmes and KID costume among the moving boxes and laughed about it, telling the other what happened on their side of things.

Later Hakuba managed to fuck Kaito in his costume while wearing the deer stalker himself 🥰🥰🥰

It's them

It's not mine. Somebody posted it on Tumblr circa 2016 but their blog is now deactivated i think (i can't find it anywhere) 🥲 But I really wanted to show you guys how good these two look!!

If anyone know the og creator, pls help!!

Hi 👋🏻 everyone,

Since it’s getting crowded in here, I’ve decided to make a master post with links to all the AUs/works I have posted so far. This post will be regularly updated! 🫶🏻

APTX!Hakuba AU

APTX!Kaito AU

Pandora AU

Black Org AU

ABO verse

Headcanon

Drew them like otoge characters

This was in 2021. The concept was sun/moon

More APTX!Saguru shenanigan 😅😅😅

Aristocrat of Evil (3/3)

Black Org!AU where everything is the same but the Hakuba family is one of the biggest sponsors behind the BO and subsequently are deeply integrated with the organization.

Saguru was sent out by his father to find out KID's identity and "take care of him". Since he's not in the Police force, Saguru won't be subjected to the same level of scrutiny: he'd able to access all existing and updated police records as detective while having the liberty to act on his own.

Well, like in Canon, he found Kaito out pretty fast. But he was curious as to what a 16 yo is doing risking his life for Pandora, he wanted to get to the root. But knowing the BO would immediately dispose of Kaito without further questioning, he held back from reporting KID's real identity.

Except... he slowly fall for this mischievous, kind-hearted, highly-intelligent classmate. Now Saguru is stuck in the in-between, making sure the BO doesn't find out Kaito's identity and making sure Kaito isn't getting too close to the truth/pandora.

But all is not as planned. On one heist, Snake managed to get too close; he's aiming at Kaito's heart. Without another option, Saguru shoot Snake first, killing him. He is now officially a defect. A traitor.

KID is confused. He could never phantom anyone so close to him getting so violent; much less the uptight, mild-manner, son-of-the-police-chief-superintendent Hakuba. Hakuba who always smiles at him softly after he teased Kaito to a bodily flush. He's frozen stocks-still in place and his hands trembles with fight-or-flight nervousness.

When Hakuba approached him, Kaito tumbled backwards, but he did not run. A hand reached up to touch Kaito's cheek and it's wet and sticky with blood from the close-range headshot. Yet it was gentle.

"You need to go. You don't see anything here, understand? Kid died tonight. He must be. Promise me he won't do another heist," Hakuba said. Kaito nodded shakily, not entirely registering what he was agreeing too. Hakuba seemed to noticed but it was good enough for him.

"What about you?" Kaito found himself asking instead of the other millions questions that swam his thoughts.

In the moonlight, the detective leaned down to steal a chaste kiss upon his cheek:

"I'm as good as dead, Kuroba."

Aptx AU: Aristocrat of Evil (1/3)

Hakukai headcanon that Kaito passes Hakuba passive aggressive notes during class but it's written in codes so Hakuba had to solve it to get the content.

First, it's standard stuffs like Morse and decoder wheels; once that had proven too easy to solve, Kaito started making up his own language/code. After a while, Hakuba was finally able to decode; but they kept at it because it's still harder to read than any other type of codes Kaito had attempted. Admittedly, they were both having fun. I can imagine geniuses like Kaito and Hakuba are usually underwhelmed and unchallenged by standard k-12 education. So this mental stimulation proves beneficial to them both. For the first time in their lives, schools weren't just a mandatory chore but something they actually look forward to.

Fast forward to KID's heist where the Black Org zeroed in on the thief, leaving him on the run and wounded, and Hakuba was unable to directly assist KID (due to Black Org member already infiltrated the ranks of the Tokyo Metropolitan police force), they used the same made-up language only they knew to communicate. Kaito discreetly gave Hakuba his location and Hakuba arrived just in time before Kaito bleed out.

oh man I wish I have enough brain cells to write fics like that urghh

Working over time - 3/4組

I like the idea of them working together after graduating from college

Pandora AU: Home pt. 2

Part 1

This is a Hakukai fic. Kaito found Pandora but became immortal while everyone around him aged. Full synopsis here

Warning: WoT, (physical) age gap, angst

-- Kaito woke alone. The other side of the bed cold as he stretched over, tried and failed to fill the empty space. He remembered going to bed alone last night, too. 

There were two unopened messages in his inbox from Saguru, telling him it was a case and not to wait up. Kaito liked the messages belatedly while brewing a pot of coffee. He was already asleep when they were sent; he wondered since when had he stopped waiting up for his lover.

Pandora AU: Home pt.1

Snippet written for my Pandora AU where Kaito became immortal and he travels around with Hakuba. In the following part, Hakuba’s around his 40s.

———

"Don't you ever want to settle down somewhere?"

Right now, Kaito was curled up next to Saguru's body, which always generates heat like a furnace. It's chilling despite the heater. Kaito instinctively moved closer to the heat source.

In response, Hakuba only petted his hair absent-mindedly and gave a distracted hum. He was busy perusing the file marked "URGENT" Interpol had forwarded earlier that evening, interrupting their dinner. The file had been printed out into a thick stack of paper – getting along in his 40s, long screen time had started to tire Saguru's eyes out quicker; they’re always red and watery after staring at his monitor for a long case, hence the printing.

Always bringing murders and terrorists and whatnot horror into their bed, that bastard. But Kaito could hardly find it in him to complain; not when Saguru is this dastardly handsome with all his fine lines and glasses and laser focus. His juvenile cockiness might have dulled somewhat in age, but his eyes remained as sharp as ever. Kaito imagined he could be cut through with a look. God, he wish he could age with him.

"I already am."

"Huh?" Kaito startled, forgetting that it was him who asked.

"I said ‘I already am’," Saguru reiterated, eyes still glued to inked black and white and free hand waving vaguely around as if that alone should make sense, "settled, that is."

Kaito followed the directions of his wild gestures. Yes, their apartment is nice and all: a tasteful cream-colored motif, delicate plaster ceiling rose, high windows and ceilings, spacious, with a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower. The Hakuba Corp spared no expense in making sure its young master was happy, and this was no exception. From the most cutting-edge technology to the most beautiful antique furniture, everything seamlessly pieced together in a coherent harmony of livable space. Everything was at his fingertips. Kaito could spend all day mopping around the place without feeling an ounce of claustrophobia. And he did, occasionally - on which days Kaito felt more like a spoiled cat than an actual person. That Hakuba would come home from whatever businesses he tended to, shrug off his trench coat and shoes before bending over the sofa and spoil him with indulgent kisses certainly didn't help the case.

Even if he were to nitpick, there was nothing to bemoan about. But they had scantly been there 5 months. Kaito was sure there were suitcases at the bottom of their closet that had yet been unpacked. 'Settling down' wouldn't be how he would describe it. Nor would it apply to any of their previous many relocations.

"That's not... I mean, don’t you get tired, of moving around like this? Hardly get to see your friends and family? Never allow yourself to take root somewhere? Isn't it suffocating building your life around me?"

This had Saguru's attention. He lowered the case file and turned those keen eyes onto Kaito. The way Kaito's breath hitched was completely involuntary.

"Does it bother you?"

"It doesn't matter, does it? I don't have a choice." There was no use talking around it. With Pandora, Kaito could hardly stay anywhere longer than a handful of years before his unchanging appearance raised a few eyebrows. "But you do. Wouldn't you rather have a home to come back to instead of hotel rooms and new fancy penthouses every other year?"

They were already getting looks as they were, from the way master Hakuba always had a young twenty-something draping over his arm. There had been hushes and whispers that Kaito knew that Saguru feigned oblivion to, only to quietly have them moved within the week.

He hadn't noticed he had been fidgeting until Saguru took hold of his restless fingers, the warmth of his hand effectively stopped his anxious tingle from spreading from his fingertips.

"Kaito," Hakuba sighed, exasperated but firm, like he had said what he was going to say next a thousand times before and had absolute faith in it. And maybe he had. Kaito just couldn't quite bring himself to believe him, "as long as I am with you, I'm already home."

hiiiii, sorry for the late response; your ask had me thinking for a bit 😃

I think you're right, for the class, nothing would seem out of the ordinary since Hakuba's already frequently absent from class. But for Kaito, Aoko caught him glancing at Hakuba's desk more, being more quiet. She charged this up to Kaito's having a crush on said detective (which Kaito does, he just didn't know it yet lol).

I don't think someone as careful as Hakuba would show up at Ekoda high, however, since he stay at Kaito's, one day Aoko just badge in while they're discussing the Black Org and saw him > cue reaction similar to Ran in the first chap. Except Kaito spluttered and said it's Hakuba's relative from abroad, which springs a boatload more question from his childhood friend. Luckily, Kaito's good at adlibing shits: "Yes it's Hakuba's cousin visiting"; "No, Hakubastard had to run to solve some case and is currently abroad"; "Am I watching over the kid because I miss him? Psssh, he paid me to do it!"

And I don't think Arthur would be the second KID Killer. If anything, Kaito would proclaim him "KID's biggest fan" because: a) it would make sense to Aoko that Hakuba would pay Kaito - a known KID fanatic - to babysit this "cousin"; b) it would explain his inaction at heists when he shadows the Detective Boys; and c) it pisses Hakuba off so much it's funny.

Another thing is that since Hakuba now knows there is such thing as aptx4869 exists, he pretty quickly deduced the real identity of Conan (Chalice of Selene comics where when Hakuba throw Conan, he said "Sorry Kudo" instead of "Conan"). But since he hadn't yet know how Shinichi is planning to act, what sorts of security and threats is on him, and fearing that associations with him would lead the Black Org members who might be watching Conan straight to KID, Hakuba has reserves about formally forming an alliance. Which is why he enrolled at the primary school: to watch Conan closely before making a decision.

It should also be noted that in this AU, Saguru is completely head-over-heels for Kaito, but had long since resigned himself to be contended with unrequited affection. He believes himself to be no more than a nuisance to Kaito and is only being kept around because Kaito felt indebted to him for saving his life. Whatever the case, Saguru is prepared to sacrifice much for Kaito. On the other hand, Kaito, being his tsundere self, acts all annoyed because he's flustered by Hakuba. In truth, he harbors quite a big crush on his classmate, but disregards the fluttering feeling he felt each time to the adrenaline of the chase.

so yeah, they're messy 🫠 But as they work together and face various danger trying to dismantle the Black Org, I'm sure their truth would slowly be brought to the light 😉 (pun intended)

ahhh anw, sorry for the long post 🥲 if you haven't notice, I like to ramble lol

Aptx AU

I wanna draw the scene where Hakuba get drugged with Aptx 🫠🫠🫠
