This is kind of a post for random comment-sized fics. I'll be putting them in the comments and indexing them as needed.

Note that most of the Garo entries take place in a kind of High School AU set in the world of Kamen Rider Fourze. Yes, it's complicated. Some others take place in the Go-Busters universe.

GARO Makai Senki, HS AU, Mio yells at Leo.

This is a fragment of a fic that is kind of set in the storyline that inspired "Deciphering the Circuit Diagram", though it has things in common with that story, as well. The RP storyline is harsher/harder when it comes to the aftereffects of the Dark Takeru universe.

There's nothing like being scolded in sign language.

I know I shouldn't probably be at school. But my parents let me go back - I need to go and absorb magic there, apparently. Mio's face is scrunched in ways that I really never want to ever see again, and her hands are moving stiffly and angrily. "Mio," I tell her in sign, "I couldn't not go. I have to pick up magic."

"Leo, you ran into a wall." She's trying to be calm. "Before that, Gentarou-san and Kaoru-san had to take you to hospital because you were tortured by a supervillain, remember? I've read the rules and there's nothing in there to protect you from danger. I know you have a bracelet, but that won't stop everything. How are you supposed to pick up magic if you get sent to the hospital again?"

"I know," I protest, but I know it's useless. I agree with Mio. I don't want to be here. I don't care how strong I'll become. But my parents want me here. They think that if I stick around, I'll have a lot of power in the long run. They might not like it either, but Sigma tells me it's in the rules.

"I don't want you to die. I want you to marry Kaoru-san and start a mage lineage." Family lines are her area of interest. "I wish your parents would let you and Sigma transfer."

But we both know they won't. Not for me, not for Sigma. We'll have to live with it somehow.

I don't know how, but I'll find out.
