#bakeneko au

@vantasticmess and I had a Kuroshitsuji AU for SubKam that wasn’t really working well, so we recently decided to revamp it to the AU where Kamui is a bakeneko and makes a deal with post TB!Subaru where, if he doesn’t exorcise him Kamui will help Subaru “find the source of his suffering and end it”. To barely-just-got-his-cast-off Subaru, this sounds like a deal to help him find and kill Seishirou like he’d promised himself he would, but thank god for vague wording because it doesn’t really go like either of them expect it to.

Kamui is from the late Meiji/early Taishou period, and has been mostly in cat form for all that time, so he finds modern clothes needlessly difficult. He also hasn’t quite figured out how to lose the ears and tail in human form yet.

The first few days consist of him remaining in cat form and refusing to speak to Subaru when Subaru insists human souls are off the menu.
