Congrats on hitting 100 followers!!! u deserve waaay more honestly your writing is impeccable and beyond beautiful, we can't thank you enough for sharing it with us 🥺🫂
In your opinion, what careers would suit adult aslan and eiji? my friends always see ash as a librarian type but i feel like teaching would be a fun concept!
Thanks for the ask, Anon, and for reading my AshEiji fics! I've pondered this question many times as I brainstormed bajillion Married!AshEiji prompts. Allow me to spill some of my brain content to you:
I am 100000% on board with Ash as a teacher! I think it's a popular headcanon that he would teach English/Literature; I could also see him teaching Mathematics or Chemistry given his extensive intellect! To me, he'd be the cool teacher who would have hordes of kids hang out in his classroom as he eats the lunch Eiji packed for him.
Not entirely opposed to him being a professor, though! I would see it as his "side gig" as he writes literary critiques for academic journals. He feels very important when someone calls him "Dr. Callenreese-Okumura."
Public librarian! A lot of people believe this is a quiet job in which you're surrounded by books and read in your downtime—No. Ash would definitely be busy planning events, reading to children; cleaning said children's pee off the reading carpet; waxing poetic about the Dewey Decimal System; helping elderly people with their taxes or technology; telling said elderly people to stop watching porn on the computers; encouraging anxiety-ridden college students; and hefting drunk people out of the building.
Bookshop owner! He can info-dump whenever he wants to anyone he wants. He also organizes book clubs at his and Eiji's home. Somehow, he's always surprised that old women show up.
Honestly, I've thought about a period in which Ash just stays home to recuperate. He'd do volunteer work (learns how to cook in the process); submit to math journal problems—not for the prize money, but for the prestige that comes with winning; walk Buddy; garden; travel; write. Basically all of the things he never got to do when he was young.
Photojournalist or photographer. I don't think I need to explain myself here. (For type of photography? Street, architecture, or travel. He tries to bring Ash along whenever he can, though they can make the distance work.)
A "tinkerer" (as Ash would call it) as a side job! He'd fix up old vintage cameras and resell them.
Just for the "cute" element, a professor as well. Two "Dr. Callenreese-Okumuras!!!" His photography students tease him about it.
DOG GROOMER! Eiji comes home and transfers all of the hair onto Ash when they hug. Buddy is all over him because of the scent of other dogs.
Exhibition curator. He definitely has a good eye for putting pieces together to narrate a story. He'd have Ash help him with research too. (They are dweebs that bond through academia, art, and history.)
ash lynx spent his life under a camera as a victim and it took his broski eiji the photographer to show him that good moments should be captured and he could be comfortable w photos and they could be good things and this was one instance of eiji showing him how to be a kid instead of a victim. in this essay i will--

my favourite trope will always be when someone believes they're hard to love because they have scars and are so human that it feels unreal and someone who loves them like it's breathing, natural, easily, devoted and just. it's lovely. they're just too consumed with love and don't want to stop being half of the other's soul.
Help! I got a cardiac arrest (cuteness overload!!!)
