Summary
"What do you want to do?"
Now that (almost) all the secrets are out among the Forgers, a simple question reminds Twilight, yet again, that he lost himself to the past.
He has no idea what he likes. He's spent so much time molding himself into the image of what others want him to be that--despite all his recent progress--he still has no real idea who he is.
One solution comes to Yor's mind. How about just spending time with other people, and seeing why they like what they do? There's no better way to understand yourself than try to understand others. Besides, she still isn't entirely sure how to appear normal--doing things typical people do might help with that.
(In which Yor and Loid go on "double dates" with just about every other couple in the series, more Forger family fluff, and other shenanigans-- and more things are discovered than *just* what Loid likes.)
Technically in a series, but this one is especially standalone: All you really need to know is that it's set post-Forger family reveals, pre-Strix conclusion, all else will be discussed. I just wanted excuses to write more of these two in love.
Spoilers, this is canon divergent post 120 but refs up thru 136.

Don't look at the time by fractally_impractical, summerslastlight (fractally_impractical)
Fandoms: SPY x FAMILY (Manga)

Summary
An interlude of one-shots. Will eventually be organized.
It's strange trusting anyone, loving anyone. It's been forbidden so long that Twilight doesn't know what to do with himself when it isn't.
Each chapter is standalone, depicting moments and conversations post reveal/love confession as Twiyor learn to let themselves feel. Tone details of each chapter in their summary, anywhere from heavy angst to pure fluff.
In order of publication:
1. Duality (Loid and Yor talk codenames)
2. Anya (An argument)
3. Butterflies and Flowers (Loid buys Yor flowers, my current favorite chapter)
4. The letter he (almost) wrote in flowers
5. A Frank(y) conversation (in which Franky gives Twilight shit)
6. Cuteness aggression
7. Little birds (Anya scrapes her knee. Fiona's a little heartbroken)I always thought... Butterflies in one's stomach was a poor, inaccurate metaphor for a feeling that didn't exist. Perhaps I was wrong.
I've decided to mark this as complete, but I may eventually add more vignettes here.

Joint Mission (so this is what it's like) by fractally_impractical, summerslastlight (fractally_impractical)
Fandoms: SPY x FAMILY (Manga)
20 Feb 2026

Summary
Twilight and Thorn Princess find themselves working on a joint mission.
They've kissed--several times, even--, but for some reason Loid is hesitant to take things further, and Yor is beginning to get frustrated (and doesn't fully understand what she wants yet). Will becoming Thorn Princess in her entirety embolden Yor to accept all sides of herself, and stop injuring Loid every time they get close? Or will Loid/Twilight break past his pathological need to let Yor make the first move?
Anyway, Loid and Yor learn things about themselves, with foreshadowing about their daughter. Mostly, consider this a comparatively low-action study of how their trauma affects their intimacy.
Set in a post-reveal, early-relationship setting. WISE and Garden are working together.
"I was thinking... L-Twilight, Um, you look nice in all black."Of all the things... He looked at her. This was a mistake.
He'd seen that dress on her before; it was her favorite. He felt like he'd fallen in love with her in that dress. Maybe he had -- she'd worn it the night she proposed, and on some of their dates. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes shining, her gaze lingering on his hands as he loaded each weapon. Shit.
