Summary: Goku’s getting more attention from appreciative eyes in the town. The rest of the group try to figure out how to deal with it.
Notes: Inspired by:

  • The 10-years-later Goku illustration that lives rent-free in my mind.
  • The ache in my knees every time I realize that the kids I know—younger relatives, family friends’ offspring—are now approaching college age.

There's a short section where Sanzo remembers some of the messed-up stuff he went through as a kid. I felt like it's short and vague enough not to warrant a tag, but please keep that in mind when reading this.

“If you think about it, it’s actually a little late for Goku to be dealing with this only now.” )

She couldn’t rely on him to help her get out of the situation while he was obviously under the influence of moon hypnotism. )

But he can’t spend time explaining his backstory to every judgmental person he meets. Instead, Fumikage tries to be practical and considers what seems to be the simplest solution. )

Summary: Aizawa Shouta was prepared to be an adoptive grandfather to one baby, not eighteen.
Notes:

It’s not mentioned in the fic, but the ages are tweaked so that Aizawa and Yamada are in their 40s, a more realistic age for them to be Momo’s actual parents.

Please don’t examine this too closely; I know that no adoption agency would allow a couple to swoop in and grab 18 kids 😂

“Tenya and I did the math,” Momo said, opening up a finance tracking app on her phone. “If we stick to our updated monthly budget, we’ll be all set for the next three years at least.” )
