Yato and Sakura redraw! I asked on Twitter for people to send me panels to redraw, with the intention to post them as a batch, but just this one took me a while so I decided to post them separately as I finish each.
The Noragami Reverse Bang 2021 is officially over! We hope you all enjoyed participating. Below are previews of all the art and writing created for this event, with links to everything.
Thank you all for your enthusiasm and support, and we’ll see you next time!
Summary: In an alternate universe, Yato is the slightly overworked Grim Reaper, who only has his assistant Yukine for company. His job is to take the souls of those who died from the mortal world, to their rightful place in the afterlife. He coincidentally happens to meet Hiyori Iki one day, a mysterious, and very beautiful high school girl who has the unique ability to see him. As the girl and the Reaper become friends however (and maybe more than friends), dark forces are on the rise, threatening everything Yato has worked for…along with everything he ever loved.

Summary: Nora is living her best life by being the normal middle school student that she always longed to be with her new friends and her two parents that love her so much.
Artwork 3: by artist @/crystalline.arts (Instagram) with inspired fic Divine Blessing by writer @thedeliverygod
Summary: He wasn’t sure if he was ready for any of this. He appreciated his friends’ concern and they probably just wanted him to actually do something instead of walk around in a daze all day, but he was still healing. Yukine was helping him keep it together, but a giant part of him was missing.
Summary:The third time Koa saw Haru was on a bridge. Sunset weaving through meandering clouds, and Haru’s eyes with dark hammocks beneath. He leaned halfway over the railing, wind rippling his short, blonde hair. He was neither a boy or not a boy. An ambiguity or, more likely, an other. People never were good at confronting the other.
Summary: It has been weeks since Yato reincarnated, and Yukine has been watching over him all the while. But it isn’t always easy seeing the person he knew and loved so well as a child without any memories of what brought them to this point.
Summary: Snow falls from the sky as if it is in slow motion, landing gently on his cheeks and eyelashes. Feeling his fingertips freeze by the second, he shoves them deep inside the pockets of his clothing and comes to rest under an abandoned building. He sighs, breath taking the form of a cloud. Yato is not fond of winter.
Artwork 7: by artist @/spilledpeaches (Twitter) with inspired fic A Found Family by writer @blackvelvetinfierno
Summary: Now that Father is dead, Nora founds herself living at the house where Yato, Yukine, Kofuku and her shinki Daikoku reside. She realizes this might be her real chance at having a family and she won’t let go this opportunity.
Summary: Yato, Yukine, and Hiyori visit the bathhouse of the gods for the first time, accompanied by Bishamon & Kazuma and Kofuku & Daikoku, and get into a little more mischief than everyone bargained for!
Summary: Yato had never imagined meeting someone like Hiyori, let alone that the kindest and bravest person he’d ever met would want to stay by his side and protect him. But Hiyori is constantly in danger because of him, and the link between her soul and body is becoming frayed. How can Yato call himself a god, when he can’t even protect his only follower?
Summary: It’s already been six years, since Hiyori Iki had decided to move away to accomplish her goal to become a physician. As she did not have any contact to Yato, Yukine or any of the other people from the far shore in the past six years, her memories had become blurry. Up until the day she encounters a black stray on her way back home. Will she be able to regain her memories with her friends?
Artwork 14: by artist @caharom with inspired fic Operation: Get Hiyori Back by writer @smritz444 and beta @leopah
Summary: “The nerve of that girl, to romance a god. And Yato, of all the gods she could’ve chosen.” Four-thirty a.m., on a cool summer night, Kazuma got a call. A distressing call, from a distressed delivery god, who was sure he was going to die. Kazuma’s used to cleaning up messes, more cure than prevention, but this was one disaster he would not let come to pass.
Artwork 15: by artist @stray-tails with inspired fic the roots that clutch by writer @/Scytale (AO3) and betas @beautiful-fiscal-siren & @/alamorn (AO3)
Summary: While making masks to control the phantoms, Ebisu enlists the help of an unusual regalia.
Summary: Of all the places Takemikazuchi could fall asleep, it had to be here… Not only does Kiun find himself in a rather peculiar situation, he also learns a lot about his relationship with his master.
Summary: The words rang in Yukine’s ears and he pulled his hands into fists against the ground as he yelled out, “No, no! This can’t be happening! I can’t lose you both! Not like this…” The tears started to spill out of his eyes and he reached out to cling to one of Yato’s arms, “I’m so sorry for everything… I was so stupid and selfish. Please, don’t leave me…”
Summary: Nestled against the corner furthest from the front entrance was the checkout counter, and behind it stood a young woman. Her long brown hair was held back from her face by a bandana, and an apron was tied around her front. When she noticed them, her soft features rose into a smile so big and bright she had to squint her eyes. Yato did not consider himself above cliche, and so would readily admit that his heart did, in fact, skip a beat. In which Hiyori owns a flower shop, Yato causes a minor disaster, and somehow things end up working out, in the end.
Artwork 19 : by artist @ayyydrie with inspired fic Ghost Number Seven: Yato of the Trash Can by writer @oneofyatosfollowers
Summary: Fretting and desperate over the reputation of her family’s hospital, Hiyori Iki knocked on the lid of a trash can and made a wish to the school’s seventh mystery, forever binding her to the young boy wielding a knife. Now, Hiyori must be strong as she stands beside a wish-granting ghost and a rejected exorcist as they fight in a war between the near and far shore.
Summary: Hiyori Iki, a 20 year old college student has been able to see ayakashi since she was a little girl. Her grandmother, who raised her, taught her how to protect herself from the ones that would cause her nothing but misfortune. One day on her way to class she runs into a hungry ayakashi she’s never met or seen before. Despite her grandmother’s warnings Hiyori decides to take a leap of faith by offering him a meal. A Kakuriyo AU.
Artwork 21: by artist @mochakat with inspired fic The Yato-gami I know by writer @ohplagg
Summary: “My name is Sakura,” she decides to try a much simpler approach “what’s yours?” The man with his right hand still holding half of his face and with a skeptical look writes on the dirt. 夜卜 Ya…to? AU where Tenjin never fired Tamanone.
Artwork 22: by artist @viinas with inspired fic sins of the father by writer @kofubisha
Summary: The hand against his cheek is warm and sweet. Freckled. He knows it before his eyes open. She smiles down at him; his heart stumbles. There it is. That tender ache that he has never felt before, nor since. “Welcome,” she whispers, and, at last, he realizes where he is. Ah. So he has killed me.
Artwork 24: by artist @/nahrgles (Twitter) with inspired fic on streamed buns & the nature of friendship by writer @relv07 and beta @beautiful-fiscal-siren
Summary: She must have bought Yukine the steamed bun he was eating, because Yato was pretty sure that he had taken all of Yukine’s money. Yato’s stomach growled. He wanted to be eating a steamed bun and talking to a pretty goddess.
Summary: When Hiyori decides to throw a surprise birthday party for Yato, what better gift could she give him and Yukine than her childhood treehouse, located in the forest of her uncle’s business? However, misunderstandings ensue the day of, and a generational family curse doesn’t make it all the better…
Artwork 27: by artist @mochakat with inspired fic Ties Both Broken And New by writer @kalu-chan and beta @puffkine
Summary:Yato is bound by many ties - Those from his past, binding him to Father and Nora, and those from his future, connecting him to Hiyori and Yukine. Which ties will break? Which ones will hold and grow ever stronger?
Summary: Kazuma was not a hero. He was barely even an assistant. He didn’t graduate from a hero school, didn’t have a hero license, didn’t have an offensive quirk. By all accounts, he should have faded into obscurity, just another office worker in a sea of office workers. Yet Bishamon had taken him in. She saw worth in him and gave him a place at her side. She showed him that his quirk was not useless. Even as young as she was, with as many sidekicks as she had, even though Kazuma was inexperienced, she still helped Kazuma be more than he thought he ever could be. She still believed he could be valuable to her. But he was not a hero. So why had it fallen on him to save her? Why was he making his way down grimy back alleys, following rumors and overheard whispers he’d picked up from sidekicks at the agency? Why was he looking for a villain to save the strongest hero he knew?
Summary: As much as Haruki enjoys the quiet before dawn he also loves the feeling of the city coming alive around him. Being a part of a crowd is another kind of hiding, another kind of privacy.
Artwork 31: by artist @/PokeCardzz (Twitter) with inspired fic Come Away Home by writer@veenaas
Summary: There cannot be another place on Earth where the slate sea foams against the rocks like it does in Gelwe, nor can there be a place where the salt breeze stings so sweetly. It must rival paradise. Hiyori would like nothing more than to leave it. In the little coastal town of Gelwe, there are many things that a proper young lady simply does not do. Top of the list is associating with the crude, gruff, rough crowd of sailors that spill into port every week. Hiyori Iki (one of those proper young ladies) dreams of excitement and adventure and is unimpressed by any of the town’s eligible bachelors. When she meets an intriguing young man by the docks, however, she makes a decision that will shake her family and town by the roots: Hiyori Iki is going to run away with a sailor.
Summary: Yato and Hiyori are new to this whole dating thing. And maybe Capyper Land is a rough place to visit as one of their first real dates. Hopefully, things go a bit better than they did last time. Either way though, Yato is going to enjoy every minute that he and Hiyori are together.
Artwork 34: by artist and co-writer @eerna with inspired fic Perennialby writer @leopah
Summary:Hiyori follows his gaze downward, where she can just make out the extravagant costumes of Heaven’s upper class twirling in the streets. They’ll probably be at it until dawn, when the Regalia head out. And then they’ll go back out the following night, and the one after, and the one after that, and every day that follows; an endless parade of indulgence, gods among men. “Sickening, isn’t it?” says Yato.
After a whole year spent cooking in the oven of our creative process, @kurisus and I are proud to presentPerennial, a THG AU drabble series!!! Here’s the link to the fic, chapters will be posted throughout the day~
