Not my fanfiction, but this story was recently finished by writer S.T.Akira and I wanted to share because I think its one of the better Taiora fanfictions that I have seen in a while. Very much a slow burn, it takes a little while to get going, but once it does we see a really powerful dynamic from Taichi and Sora. If you like Taiora or you simply think Taichi and Sora have a strong and interesting friendship I would recommend giving it a read. There is a slight aspect of romance, but its really about their twenty year long friendship and how its helped to shape their lives.

About movie parallels and telephatic connections
As a teenager I was quickly impacted by the bond Taichi and Sora (from Digimon) shared, much deeper than others, as brightly put in the novels:
“Because of the smooth two-top coordination that Taichi and Sora showed within their soccer plays, he must have gotten the mistaken impression that they shared a telepathic link. Perhaps he thought Sora would use it to get Taichi to come flying out to see him.”
It wasn’t just a male main character meant for the female one. It was conflictous, complex, realistic and pretty much solid. 
There was no way not to worship them.
Tumblr media
Some say Sora is obsessed with windows but in reality she was trying to connect to Taichi all the time.
I’m getting older but still very much obsessed with Tai and Sora’s connection. Yes, I’m a nearly forty years taiora trash.
That said, I watched Past Lives some time ago and I couldn’t help but draw a parallel with my favorite ship from the anime world.
Tumblr media
It’s all there: the long term friendship, the growing apart, the “what ifs”, the one-sidedness, the complexity, bittersweetness and tenderness beyond place and time.
Tumblr media
No, it can’t stay like this forever. Something will always remain not only in this but beyond life. “There is a word in Korean. In-Yun. It means "providence” or “fate”. But it’s specifically about relationships between people. I think it comes from Buddhism and reincarnation. It’s an In-Yun if two strangers even walk by each other in the street and their clothes accidentally brush. Because it means there must have been something between them in their past lives.”
(Wait, let me remove something that just fell in my eye. :~)
And it’s funny how, in the Last Evolution Kizuna movie art, if we take away the other characters, Sora and Tai trace parallel paths. And, from what I remember from school, parallel lines meet at the end, at always, at infinity.
Tumblr media
So, in my headcanon, all this adorable-stormy-irreplaceable relationship will only get stronger over the years (physically or not).
"Finally, let’s remember That less for less gives more love If the parallels will at infinity meet Why do it take so long for two hearts to integrate?” (Tom Jobim’s “Math Class” - my translation)
youtube
That´s all. For now. ;)
Lots of love! @earlgreymon and @dutchforstrangers this post is for you guys, just adore each one of yours.

Tour • ne • sol
Sora would be lying when she said New Year’s was a blast. Right before the clock would strike midnight, she had felt nothing but anxious and alone. Why exactly that feeling was dominating, she couldn’t pinpoint. She was surrounded by people she loved and who loved her back just as much, if not more. And the past year had been an absolute miracle in so many ways. Her trip to Italy standing out to her the most.
The trip to Taichi. The trip that changed it all.
It had been one of the hardest goodbyes when they had to part in August, knowing he had to stay while she had to leave again. It was a bittersweet goodbye. Bitter, because their parting happened right after finally answering the genuine love the two of them had been feeling all along. Sweet, because, at least, it wasn’t forever.
Fortunately, time had passed rather quickly and now it was already January 1st. Taichi would return to Tokyo at the end of February, in time for her birthday and a planned vacation they would spend together. Sora was absolutely thrilled, looking forward to every future second. Sure she had been missing him until now, but it would all turn out fine.
Still there was this anxious feeling.
Perhaps, deep down inside, she was afraid for his return. Would the feelings have stayed the same, or did they change? What if he would look different than what she could remember. Than how she had always known him? Something told her, however, that that anxious feeling had nothing to do with those irrational fears.
Sora bit her lip, looking down at the cellphone in her hand. The screen was lit, on it Taichi’s last message to her.
Happiest of New Years to you my lovely Sora!
It had definitely turned a smile on her face and of course she texted back as soon as she could, but due to an overloaded mobile network and the poor reception that was the logical follow-up, her message didn’t come through. That had made her anxious of course, but the phone call she had with him earlier in the day had made up for it.
But now it was the morning after, her message was eventually sent, but he didn’t replied, probably not even seen it. A wave of sadness overcame Sora and the anxious feeling of being forgotten washed over her.
Sora sighed.
For all she knew, Taichi was still celebrating with his newfound friends in Italy. She wanted, needed, to know and with her fingers she typed another message to ask him about his day and celebrations, only for it to be deleted again right after. She wasn’t the pushy girlfriend, right? If he wanted to text her, he would.
All sorts of scenarios crossed her mind, from Taichi kissing other girls to him being drunk from all the Italian wine and this passed out. Maybe his phone died. Maybe it fell, or he lost it…
“Stop it Sora, you can trust him! Right?” she said out loud to no one in particular as she held her phone to her forehead. For a little while she stood like that, unnecessary tears stinging behind her closed eyes. She wasn’t going to give in to those, and she didn’t have to.
Through her eyelids Sora could see a sudden light, cueing that her phone had just received a message to show her. Her eyes shot open and within a second she had unlocked her phone. Her messaging thread with Taichi was still opened, but there was no new message to be found.
Slightly annoyed, Sora swiped away Taichi’s chat to see who was the one who had sent her a message. Probably her mom telling her she had forgotten something at their house early this morning, she immediately thought, but she was surprised by someone else’s name.
Sora-san! Happy New Year! I have a little present for you, I’m at your door in 5 minutes. Could you open up? Love you soooooo much!
It was Mimi and a smile replaced her frown. Sora remembered how lucky she had been with such wonderful friends, then remembered she wasn’t exactly dressed to receive guests, so she hurried to the bathroom to wash up and dress herself in something more decent. She hoped that Mimi’s coming by would cheer her up good enough to stop the sulking over her boyfriend being far far away from her.
Just in time before she could get back into the sulking, the bell rang and she sprinted to the door to welcome Mimi in. As she opened the door, Sora tilted her head in pleasant surprise.
“Not alone I see?” she asked with a grin on her face.
“Hello Sora-san, happy New Year.”
“Nope! As you can see, I dragged Koushiro-kun with me. Hope that’s okay with you? We actually won’t stay long,” Mimi said with a wink.
The two guests entered Sora’s apartment, both of them being familiar enough to know the way once inside. Sora closed the door and followed her friends into her own living room where all three of them took a seat, Mimi on the chair and Sora and Koushiro on the couch. Mimi placed the bag she had been holding on the coffee table in front of Sora.
“I baked you something!” Mimi exclaimed happily as she impatiently waited for Sora to reveal the insides of the bag.
She found it the sweetest gesture, but had no clue to what she owed this exactly. Nonetheless, she was grateful for it and carefully unpacked the baking from the bag.
“Is it a carrot cake?”
“Mmhm!” Mimi confirmed excitedly, nodding her head rapidly. “But I gave it a touch by adding a nice amount of sunflower seeds. To wish you both an orange and sunny new year.”
Sora smiled as she kept looking at the cake, the orange and ‘sunny’ reminding her of Taichi. She was happy with the gift, but couldn’t help to feel the sadness pinching a little. She looked up to look at Mimi, hiding away any visible sorrow.
“It looks delicious. Thank you Mimi-chan, I really appreciate it.”
“Anytime,” Mimi said lovingly, flying out of the chair to give Sora a friendly little hug. “You deserve to have all the orange and sunshine in your life. He will return in less than two months, am I right?”
Of course Mimi looked right through her, Sora thought to herself. Without saying a word, hiding it away as best as possible, Mimi knew it anyway. And of course she tried to find a way to cheer Sora up. So Sora nodded to the question, now knowing she was unable to hide it from them.
“Then why the sad face?” Mimi asked as she sat back down in the chair.
Sora looked down at her own hands. “He hasn’t texted me after his last message at midnight our time. I’m a bit worried I think?”
“I see,” Koushiro started, “it’s normal to feel that way. But I don’t think you have to worry, Sora-san.” Koushiro reassured her with a knowing smile, a careful hand gently placed on her shoulder. He usually wasn’t the type for physical reassurances like these, but with Sora he felt more open and she absolutely loved her co-redhead for it.
“Unless he fell into a river while being overly drunk. I mean, right? There is a river in Rome, right?”
“Mimi-san!” Koushiro called out. Mimi ducked away further into the chair, in her way feeling sorry for her words. Sora could only laugh at her friends’ antics, even though Mimi’s words did sting a little, exposing a possible truth Sora wished wouldn’t be true. “Anyway,”
Koushiro diverted everyone’s attention with just that one word, his hand reaching for something in his pocket. Sora watched him closely, curious what was so important to change the subject. It didn’t take long for Koushiro to take the item out and he proudly held up a USB stick.
“It contains a little PowerPoint presentation I made.”
Sora thought it was suspicious, for the simple fact that it was ‘just’ a PowerPoint and not some sort of complicated other piece of software Koushiro would have created himself.
“I think it might peaks your interest, maybe you could take a look and let me know what your findings are?”
Unable to say no to her friends, she held out her hand and took the little thing from Koushiro. “I let you know,” Sora said with her kindest smile
“But not now!” Mimi said after looking at the clock hanging on the wall. “Koushiro-kun and I have to go.”
Sora’s suspicion rose. “Why the sudden hurry?”
“Koushiro-kun and I promised to pick up my cousin from Europe!”
“Together?”
“Mimi-san didn’t want to drive alone, so she asked me to accompany her.”
It at least sounded honest. Sora nodded and followed her friends to the door to say them goodbye. As she shut the door behind them, the feeling of being alone flooded back. Sora sighed, dragging herself and her racing mind back to the living room.
Once arrived, she seated herself on the chair, slumping away while tightly holding on to one of the pillows. Her eyes looked at the cake and the USB on her coffee table and a faint and grateful smile appeared. She didn’t have much time to take it all in and wonder about their intentions.
*PING*
The phone in her pocket announced an incoming message. Her heart skipped a beat and with one sharp motion she flew out of the chair, now able to get deep into her pocket. Her heart skipped another beat seeing the first part of the name on her screen.
Yagami
She should have known though that he wasn’t the only one with that last name in her phone and disappointment hit like a stab in her stomach.
Hikari: Happy New Year dear Sora-san! I wish for you to have a warm year with lots of Love and Light that will brighten your sky. I was going through some pictures from crafts made by my kindergarten kids and I stumbled upon some shiny ones! Who knows this will make you feel less alone, he will be back before you know it.
Sora wondered whether Mimi or Koushiro had texted Hikari to let her know about how she felt. Especially after looking at the pictures of the crafts Hikari had sent her. Sunflowers, in all forms and shapes. The yellow and orangeness combined with the by the children taken creativity warmed Sora’s heart, Hikari’s attentiveness even making her heart flutter.
Still she couldn’t help but to want the attention from the girl’s brother and not Hikari. So Sora quickly typed a thank you message in return before heading over to her chat with Taichi. With blind annoyance she wrote a message.
Taichi, where are you? I’m starting to feel like I’m not important enough for you. I feel kind of neglected? Anyway, I’m worrying myself sick over you and that’s not the way to start the year for Kami’s sake.
For once she did not read it twice and immediately hit send only to feel complete guilt right after. Her heart started racing.
I’m sorry! I don’t know what’s gotten into me. I just… I love you so much and you haven’t replied to anything and I just want to know whether you’re safe or not. Please, Taichi, can you please send me a message back? Even though it’s just an “I’m OK”… I’m so sorry…
Sora bit her lip as she crushed her phone between her hands as it was the only way for her tension to get out. She was on the verge of crying, of feeling miserable and an incredibly bad girlfriend. Her mind wandered everywhere and felt numb all the same. She was slowly losing herself and hyperventilation was close.
However, a vibration in between her hands brought her back from the spiraling. For a moment she concentrated on the ongoing vibrations, easing the fast pace of her heart. Or at least try. Because the chance this was Taichi calling her was rather high after those messages she sent and Sora wasn���t sure whether she was ready to face him like this.
She was both relieved with and surprised by the caller ID popping up on her screen.
“Yamato?”
“Hey Sora, happy New Year.”
She had never felt so happy to hear his voice. There was no way for her tears to stay hidden.
“Are you okay?” He sounded worried. Knowing.
She nodded, then remembered she was on the phone. “Yes. No. I don’t know? I’m just happy it’s you who’s calling and not him.”
There was a short silence on the other side, but Sora knew Yamato was nodding his head. Taking his time to find the right words.
“I know this is hard to believe when you’re feeling the way you are feeling, but believe me as I say that Taichi hasn’t forgotten you. He would never forget about you, you and I both know that,” he reassured her and Sora nodded understandingly. “And if it helps, he hasn’t texted me either. I think he’s just… occupied. You’ll hear from him sooner than you think.”
“Okay,” she replied quietly, taking the time to let his words sink in a little more. “Thank you, Yamato, and a happy New Year to you too,” she eventually said.
“Thanks.”
“To what do I owe this phone call?” She asked.
“Erm…” he sounded nervous. “I was wondering… could you listen to these lyrics I just wrote?”
Lyrics? Sora thought to herself. “You’re writing music again?”
“Just a little something. You don’t have to listen to it if you don’t want to—”
“No! I’d love to actually.”
“Alright,” he said and after some shuffling he started softly playing.
Sora closed her eyes and she felt herself zoning out. The melody felt like warming rays of light embracing her.
As the seasons change, and the days drift by We’ll hold onto the light, under the open sky Through gentle rain, and the storms that may come, We’ll stand tall and strong, turning to the sun
The lyrics made their way to her heart and a single tear rolled its way over her cheek, a bright smile accompanying it.
“It’s beautiful,” she said as he ended his singing. They exchanged some more words, making Sora feel a bit more relaxed, then wished each other a good day.
“Oh, before I forget,” Yamato interrupted. “Please look in your mailbox, I think Takeru has left something in there. I gotta go now, take care of yourself.”
And with that he hung up, leaving Sora with questions.
Hadn’t it all been a coincidence? Her friends, acting like this. Everyone coming over, texting her, calling her, apparently leaving her things in her mailbox… Everyone, except that stupid Taichi.
Sora balled her fists, then walked to her front door, stepping into her shoes and opening it. On the ground stood a small glass bottle with a note attached to it. Another surprise.
“Hi Sora-kun, Jyou here! I got you a little massage oil, it’s made from sunflower oil and I immediately thought of you. Please save it for a special occasion. And a happy New Year!”
Again the sunflowers… What was going on with everyone?
She placed Jyou’s present inside, shut the door and headed for the staircase of her apartment’s building. Because even though she could take the elevator, the stairs seemed to be more fitting to get that adrenaline out of her system.
She jumped, flew down the stairs, skipping at least two steps of the stairs with every step. Once arrived on the ground floor, Sora sprinted to the mailbox, opening the thing and immediately seeing what Yamato had meant on the phone.
There was a little notebook with on the first page Takeru’s handwriting telling her the notebook contained handwritten short stories about sunflowers. And that all their other friends had come to him with inspiration.
Sora’s mind was blown, completely overwhelmed with all the information she received. The gifts, the sunflowers… Still the feeling of being ignored by her own boyfriend lingered the most. And she wanted to ugly cry and scream. Loud.
She turned around to see if there was anyone there who could worry over her if she was going to scream.
“Sora,”
She turned around, her eyes taking in the sight of a boy she had been longing for since midnight. His brown hair was a bit of a mess, his cheeks showing a blush, though Sora couldn’t tell whether it was from being outside or from their for her unexpected encounter. In his hand he held a bouquet of sunflowers.
Sora could feel the tears sting. Her friends were right when they said he would be back sooner than she thought he would.
“It was really hard to get these flowers in the middle of winter.”
She exhaled quick and sharp, only to inhale the air right back. “Oh no, you didn’t…”
“I kinda did?” Taichi replied and Sora could hear both the excitement as the worry in his voice. “Please don’t hate me…” He lowered the bouquet.
She had felt every emotion these past twelve hours. She had been plain mad and worried and desperate, both separately as all at once. But now, all she felt was relieve and sheer love for her Taichi standing in front of her.
“How could I?” Sora said, longing in her eyes.
“Well, I thought you’d be more excited and— ouch!”
She slapped his arm first. Then threw herself onto him, wrapping her arms around his neck while her lips found his as if they had never done anything else in life.
“Excited enough for you?” Sora asked as she parted her lips from Taichi, locking her eyes with his and staring deeply into them.
The lopsided grin on his face said it all.
x X x X x
Bonus time! (They have just watched the PowerPoint about Sunflowers made by Koushiro)
She grabbed the hem of his sleeve and stretched it out over his hand.
“What are you doing?” He asked, his eyes shifting from Sora to his sleeve and back to Sora.
Sora looked at him with a fond smile, not answering his question. She then looked down at her own sleeve and stretched it the same way she had stretched Taichi’s. Carefully she tied the two ends together into en tight knot.
“There,” she said, “forever.”

R, O, & P for the fandom ask game
Hi, thanks for sending these in!
R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?
Okay so most of my favourite friendships are considered as romantic ships in their respective fandoms hahaha so I will refrain from pointing those out. The Straw Hat Crew as a whole would be my next pick because we rarely see such a large group with very different personalities work so well together no matter the combination or the situation. And if I'm being a bit biased then I love Usopp and Nami and Robin and Brook as teams a lot, in both the cases the characters balance out the traits so well.
O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?
I just put my current playlist on shuffle and the song that came up was Easy by Stray Kids and that's very Tyson (Beyblade) song.
P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).
What a question for someone who has 10 million AUs ready at any given point lol. But lately, apart from drowning in my Regency Era AUs for Mimato/TyHil, I have also been thinking about a general Celebrity styled AU for TyHil/Taiora the way I only know peace is when I insert TyHil into everything. I just like the idea of all the characters being famous in their respective professions and how they would end up meeting or falling in love despite of being in the public eye. For TyHil specifically I have an AU where Tyson is a motor racer, and Hilary a model and they happen to be at an event for a brand where he spills wine on her white dress and it's hate at first sight. And these days I've been thinking about how to add Taiora to the mix because a secondary couple always helps jog things along for the primary couple in my AUs. Since I already have a headcanon where Tyson and Taichi are related (brothers, very long explanation sorry logic has left the chat), so following that lead to make Taichi a football/soccer superstar who is playing for one of the teams in the English League while dating Sora, who is studying fashion designing in London. Their story mainly focuses on Sora's graduation coming up around the same time as Taichi's contract renewal which puts the question about whether Sora would move back home to Japan to start her career there or continue to stay in England with Taichi until he decides to head back permanently to Japan.

A snippet of an unfinished Taiora one-shot
I don't remember if I've ever shared this. This was written months ago, and I remember getting ready to share it and then I hesitated.
Have some Taiora Friendship and mayybe Romance ❤️🧡
A few hours in, Sora noticed Taichi’s spirits waning, just as he leaned back against his seat by the bus window, looking solemnly at the clouds darkening in the sky.
“I hope the weather isn’t bringing you down,” Sora said. “Who knows - it might clear up by the time we get there.”
“It’s not that, Sora,” he said. “I was just thinking about how everyone else couldn’t make it.”
Sora let out a laugh mixed with a scoff. “Thanks to somebody’s last minute plans.”
“Hey - it couldn’t be helped, alright? It got really busy for a while there at uni.”
“Uh-huh.”
“And… busy for everyone else, as usual.” Taichi’s tone was less defensive here, and he sighed and leaned further back into his chair. “Despite my screw-up… you’d think that with summer coming and the schools taking a break, a trip like this would actually get everyone together to go. I mean, it was hard to rally the group whenever there were those disturbances from the Digital World…”
Sora stared. “Some of us had our reasons…”
“Right. And I get it, but…”
“I understand, Taichi. You miss everyone being together, like when we were kids.”
“Yeah. But hey,” Taichi turned to her. “I’m glad you were able to show up.”
He flashed Sora a warm smile, and the warmth must have caught on to her cheeks. 
“So am I,” she said, trying to hide her reaction by smiling back, and then she darted her eyes from his gaze and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear. She felt happy seeing the joy on Taichi’s face, and happy that she was going to spend the weekend with her best friend.
But Taichi’s smile made her heart flutter. There were feelings she had for him, feelings that she was able to distract herself from as they spent their young adult lives pursuing their respective dreams. These feelings were easy to hide away, but not easy to forget.
Taichi turned back to look at the window, and Sora turned to look at him again, finding herself caught by surprise at how quickly those feelings returned, even after hiding them away for so long.
Lightning flashed. Sora heard a gasp from Taichi as they both looked out the darkened bus window together. As the thunder boomed shortly after, Sora felt the rumble around her seat. The pending weather was usually something she loved, but she wondered if Taichi thought differently. She tried to read Taichi’s face as he looked out the window, and she hoped that he wasn’t going to let the sky dampen his mood even more than it already seemed to be.
Then he turned to look at her again.
“Hey, Sora,” he said. “You say you love thunder showers…”
Sora smiled and saw that he was eagerly awaiting her response.
“So, what’s a few raindrops between friends?” she asked in reply.
Lightning struck and thunder clapped again, but Taichi and Sora laughed together at their teenage memory. Even as the rain pelted against the window, Sora felt relieved that Taichi wasn’t feeling as down as she expected him to be.

Its still trippy that pretty much the majority of the Digimon fandom ships/expects Taiora (Taichi x Sora) to end up together (I know the majority of them came from watching the English dub). My little kid self would’ve appreciated the solidarity.
Speaking of that I understand that the english dub played them up cause they also thought they would end up together. That said, I hate it when I say I like/ship Taiora they immediately assumed I only watched the english dub.
I never watched the english dub as a kid, I shipped them way before knowing about the existence of english dubs.
I’ve made my peace with the fact that my ship isn’t canon, I appreciate that they didn’t, a platonic boy/girl friendship is also important. But I still hate that out of all the hetero ships they made Sora end up with Yamato. I don’t hate Sorato (anymore) but I’m just baffled by the decision, out of all the male characters she end up with, its Matt?
As a kid I hated Joe x Sora but at least that pairing would’ve make some more sense.

getting to like you
Tumblr media
header by @/earlgreymon
i’ve always wanted to do a 100 theme challenge and i’m finally starting one! let’s hope i commit to this, hahaha. first off, we have taiora. hope you enjoy! it isn’t my super best but let’s give it a shot.
theme 1 
introduction - getting to like you | main characters ; taichi yagami, sora takenouchi | setting ; pre-adventure | ships ; n/a | genre ; friendship | word count ; 289 | rating ; g | edited ; three times - forgive me for any mistakes
Tumblr media
“Sora Takenouchi,” she introduced herself. She reached out a hand, a smile on her face. “And you are?”
“Taichi Yagami,” he replied and took her hand. “You’re really tough aren’t you?”
Her smile widened. “Didn’t you know girls can play soccer, too?”
“I’ve tried playing with my baby sister,” he said. “But she was never really interested.”
“Maybe it’s just not what she’s meant to do,” Sora said.
“But we’re kids, we should be having some fun!”
“Maybe it’s just not fun for her.” She shrugged. “What does she like to do for fun?”
Taichi sighed. “She’s usually sick. I got into trouble for bringing her outside once. I thought she was okay, but she still wasn’t feeling well.” He looked down. “And what’s worse was that she felt it was her fault.”
Sora placed a hand on his shoulder. “But is she okay now?”
“She’s okay…for now.”
“Don’t say it like that.”
“Sorry.” He shook his head. “Do you have any brothers or sisters?”
She shook her head. “No. It’s just me and my mom. My dad is always away at work in Kyoto.”
Taichi smiled. “I like you, Sora.”
She smiled back. “I like you, too. Let’s be friends then?”
“Mm.” Taichi nodded. “Do you want to meet Hikari?”
“Your sister?”
“Yeah. She’s with my mom at home. You can come over. Mom likes it when I make new friends. She says I can be…difficult. But I don’t know what she means by that.” He laughed.
Sora giggled. “If that’s the case, I’d love to be your friend, Taichi.”
“Great! Mom and Hikari will like you. I’ve never had a girl friend before.” He paused. “I mean a friend who is a girl.” That made Sora laugh.

Why do you hate Taiora?
I don't hate Taiora, I absolutely love their friendship. I adore the fact they are childhood friends who met before they were taken to the Digital World. However, I don't like this implied concept that the main male character and the main female character have to be together romantically just for that reason.

Ohhh yay!! I'll tell you anything you want to know! Maybe this helps me get back to writing them again lol Btw, I adore Taiora friendship <3
8. What happens if one of them gets sick? The other one would cook their favorite food, do housework, while taking care of the sick one. 9. What are their thoughts on having children? They both wanted to be financial stable and successful professionally to have children. With Yamato's job, it was hard to find the perfect time to have them, that's why they were almost 30 when she gave birth to the first one.
10. Describe their first date. Sora made him take her to a Russian restaurant, since she couldn't eat the real Russian food lol. Yamato wasn't too fond of it, but he did it for her. Also, they waited until the DigiWorld was at peace again to have their first date.
Thanks for this ask too! <3

BONUS HEADCANONS:
- TAICHI does NOT date at all while in school, all the way through high school and University. Despite some prying by his acquaintances like the guys on his football/soccer team and other men in his social circles, he refuses to answer on if he’s “ever found a girlfriend yet”, to the point he’ll quite literally brush you off if you ask. { In between, he’s starting to realize maybe he can only date someone if he’s truly close to them. } Sora completely supports Taichi through this time period, even if he isn’t super obvious about it with her, either. Taichi is grateful for the support.
- SORA frequently struggles with the concept of love throughout Sora’s own school years. In between, while Sora realizes about Toshiko (Takenouchi), Sora is able to begin opening up a bit more. Despite this, Sora still struggles a bit sometimes, and isn’t always the best at communicating feelings. Taichi also does his best to support Sora through this time period, even if he doesn’t always know what to say, himself, he tries.
No matter what roads they end up taking in the end, the two continue to support each other all throughout and equally value their strong platonic friendship.

Taichi and Sora as a unit
Can we talk about how good their bond are and how much they care for each other?
I've seen a lot highlighting their protectiveness towards each other especially during 01 but have you all seen how much Taichi respected Sora? Taichi from the beginning has always been shown treating Sora as an equal, a friend that he shows great care about. He has never once doubted her skills and despite her been a girl, he has never once mocked her for playing soccer.
Instead, he extended his hand towards her to join the team and we all know how grateful Sora was.. He never questioned her decision on playing tennis and quitting soccer, something that she cared about a lot to the point, arguing over it with her mother. He encouraged her, and gave her that little push in giving the Christmas present and confessing her feelings towards Yamato. He showed no sign of reluctance and was been shown to be very supportive towards her.
Something that some of the fans especially shippers took for granted. This allowed us to see a different side of Taichi and see how much he has grown as a person.
When Sora was crying in that one scene in 01 because of her crest, Taichi was shown to be concerned because he doesn't know what to do. He doesn't know how to comfort her. In Tri, the same situation happened, only this time he took a step forward when neither him and Yamato could understand the inner struggles that Sora went through. He stated that since she was always keeping things to herself, making it harder to read her, he told her that's what he likes about her. That she cares more about others than herself. How selfless she is.
Something that Taichi can relate to.
Taichi is the type of person who will put the other lives before himself. He will always put himself in front of others in order to protect the people he cares about. And Sora knows this. She knows this all too well and this is why we have been shown her looking after him especially in situations where conflicts happened. Whether it'll be mentally or physically, she knows Taichi would not hesitate. She knows how much Taichi is struggling and was shown supporting him, simply just being by his side.
Both of them shared conflicts with each other. And Taichi doesn't like fighting with her. In Our War Game, he was the first to apologised to her through e-mail and after that apologised through voicemail, in which Sora didn't get to hear. Taichi always have a hard time reading the mood, so it's really interesting to see him been the first to confront about this even if he is stubborn (both of them are actually).
That just shows how much Sora mean to him. He doesn’t want a fight this little, over a hair pin, to cause a rift to their friendship. And Sora felt this. Knew this and apologized to him as well. Taichi is one of the few people that could cause such reaction from Sora.
And that just shows how much Taichi means to her as well.
People also took that for granted and instead, using it to make their ship looked better, more canon than others.
Their close friendship can be felt in Tri. Even in the smallest interaction because that’s how much they knew each other. The stageplay also showed that. Giving us one of the biggest conflict that we have ever seen from them. The biggest from Sora and the biggest from Taichi.
Taichi and Sora as a unit is something I don’t see people talk that often and it’s such a—shame….

I like you in a skirt - Taiora drabble
For @taioraweek 2023 Day 2
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
A/N: Here’s a drabble of a concept that has been sitting in my WIPs for what feels like ages. I’m exaggerating obviously, but it’s an idea that has stuck and now’s finally the time to give it a stage. Non-established Taiora, taking place in my "About all the times" universe [x][x].
Loosely ‘based’ on this fanart of Sora holding her school uniform skirt (and looking absolutely disgusted by it).
Summary: Middle school is approaching which means: school uniforms for both Taichi and Sora. Taichi has a hard time imagining Sora -the tomboy- in a skirt, but when he actually sees her...
Day 2: School days | Characters: Taichi Yagami (POV), Sora Takenouchi, Koushiro Izumi | Genre: Friendship | Rating: K | Wordcount: 732
Tumblr media
“A skirt…”
“Don’t tell me you aren’t aware of the fact that girls do indeed have to wear skirts in middle and high school, Taichi-san.”
“Yeah, I’m aware. It’s just… I don’t think I can imagine her in a skirt.”
Taichi stared at the closed curtains of the fitting room their female friend was currently in. He had to admit that to some extent, he had liked the idea of seeing girls wearing skirts on a daily base soon. But after seeing the horror in her eyes, holding up the to her hideous thing, he was a tad more careful with what he liked.
He repeated her words in his mind like a broken record playing.
“I do not want to wear a skirt.”
The image of her holding up the thing between only her thumbs and index fingers, the other six fingers keeping a distance to the fabric as if it was the filthiest thing she had ever seen and held, remained stuck with those repeating words.
Sorry was what he felt for her. In fact, Taichi was so sorry he had been trying to come up with what he thought were solutions. To make her laugh, like he always tried. He should’ve known though he would never succeed, like he had not done yet.
“Maybe you can ask to wear trousers instead?”
“And being the only girl wearing trousers? No.”
“Or you could wear the trousers over the skirt.”
“That still makes me the only girl wearing trousers. It’s also one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. So no.”
“Okay, theeeeen… the only option left is burning it and go to school in your underpants!”
“Ugh, I can’t with you!”
He would only make her more mad and annoyed with him.
Koushiro had looked at him like he had seen him looking at him a thousand times, scolding him for being stupid with only his eyes, shaking head and sighs.
In a way, however, Taichi had succeeded. Simply because giving her those rather crazy options made her step into the fitting room and close the curtains shut behind her. And she had not entered it solely to be rid of him, but probably to try the skirt on anyway.
She was stubborn like that and when it came to Taichi, she needed to prove her right of the skirt being awful. Little did she know he was never going to give her that right, even when he had a hard time imagining her wearing one.
She had been in his soccer team for as long as he could remember, always playing alongside the boys. Besides, she wasn’t just playing games as she was one of the few players who could actually score a goal. People would always describe her as the tomboy, the girl who was wearing the pants in every sense and meaning. But she wasn’t as tough as she looked most of the time, under that hard exterior hidden a gentle and caring young woman.
Taichi recalled the times in the Digital World where she had a hard time accepting her Crest. In the end, there was nothing to accept, all she needed was the strength to look at herself in the mirror and see the girl she already but unknowingly was. 
The skirt contained the same symbolism. It was the one thing she needed to finally see what feminine potential she was hiding inside.
And underneath those jeans she was always wearing.
He watched the curtain slowly open, revealing his friend dressed in the green colored school uniform. His eyes boldly scanned her from top to bottom, stopping at her skirt for a bit longer, his eyes unable to deny the long legs it was exposing.
A blush started to form on his cheeks.
“What do you guys think?” She asked sounding a bit insecure, her comfortable level low, but not as low and annoyed as it was before.
“I think it suits you better than how you pictured it, Sora-san,” Koushiro answered politely with a warm smile. It made Sora smile back shyly.
“I—erm…” Taichi started, trying to find the right words to say. Pity he could only come up with more stupid-sounding ones.
“I like you in a skirt.”
“Baka,” Sora said, unable to hide the red shade quickly appearing, fumbling with the skirt she was wearing like your typical shy school girl.

[AU]. Yamato Ishida y Mimi Tachikawa no tenían mucho en común salvo por tres cosas: tomaban el mismo tren cada mañana rumbo a la escuela, ambos cantaban y, que gustaban uno del otro. Aunque esto último no lo sabían.
Capitulo I
¿Es difícil hablarle al chico que te gusta?
Si alguien le hubiese preguntado eso a Mimi, ella seguramente respondería con un “no, porque solamente le vas a decir un hola, no preguntarle si se quiere casar contigo” y después soltaría una risa. Para ella esa clase de situaciones no eran difíciles ya que siempre había sido una chica parlanchina, le encantaba la gente y hacer nuevos amigos. La palabra timidez no era parte de ella (o quizás sí, pero muy en el fondo). Por lo que siempre que alguien necesitaba un consejo sobre cómo llevar este tema del amor, Mimi era la primera opción. Ella les daría el ánimo necesario para poder dar ese paso de ir a hablarles, y de cómo el hecho de mantener una amistad con esa persona era lo más importante que debían hacer después. Ayudaba mucho que también, era una amante de las historias de amor...
Género: Romance/Friendship
Parejas: Mimato, Taiora, Kenyako, leve Takari
Hola! hace tiempo que comencé esta historia, está en proceso pero me he animado a compartirla con este fandom mimato que tenemos! espero que les guste tanto como yo disfruto escribirla. Advierto que son muy lenta para actualizar.
Les mando un beso!

Digimon Adventure 2020 may not have the deepest character interactions or backstories in comparison to its original, but if you have one episode that:
Acknowledges that Taichi and Sora are great friends, a good team in general as well as formidable football comrades that would go to hell and back for each other.
Shows them being mutually supportive of each other (let’s add Sora to Taichi’s “I call my best friends awesome whenever I get the chance to” list),
Gives Sora SO MANY moments to shine on her own, shows off her skills, determination and capability,
Shows Koushirou be the one who’s observant of them and praises their teamwork,
there’s nothing I could complain about.

We need a fic
Ok ok, this is going to be an AU. I don’t love them, but bear with me, there is no other way. 
Tumblr media
It’s going to be a Koura bestfriendship fanfic because I LIVE for them and they make my heart smile. And regarding ships it will be a: Sorato, Taiora, Koumi and Kouyako DON’T LEAVE THIS IS NOT A LOVE TRIANGLE FIC because I also don’t like them. Read and you’ll understand! I promise. 
And lastly, I was inspired by a discussion ages ago in the mishiro topic where someone wrote about a manga that had a kind of Koumi background, I don’t know the name of the manga but maybe dear @hnwaltz does and I will add the information if you or anyone else has it :) EDIT @akeemi-life​ to the rescue it’s called “Bonnouji” THANK YOU DEAR!!
So here we go:
Sora and Koushirou are best friends for ever and ever always GIVE ME THIS.
Koushirou works at home with his computers and stuff.
Sora can be a journalist, photographer, I don’t know, something that she can do while travelling. She is always travelling and she doesn’t have a fixed house or apartment. We know that Kizuna!Sora wanted to travel, so let’s give her that in this AU.
So she mails her souvenirs and other things that she buys, her notebooks where she journals and etcetera to her best friend’s apartment. Koushirou.
So his apartment is full of Sora’s boxes and he never really pays any attention to them UNTIL Mimi moves into the building.
All of this is based on that manga, ok? It’s not my original idea.
Mimi bakes and Koushirou lives right next door, so she makes a cake filled with gummy bears and coffee flavored icing and joyfully introduces herself to her neighbor.
And surprinsingly Koushirou LOVES IT (maybe he loves the chef? :)). She is astonished because usually no one does. She’s a waiter at a coffee shop and really wants to have her own shop, she’s FULL of ideas but also had the feeling that no one enjoyed her recipes. 
But now she knows now someone does :) so every night when she returns from work she cooks something new and takes it to Koushirou, who slowly stops having dinner because he knows, or really hopes, that Mimi will show up with something amazingly weird.
She slowly starts to redecorate as well. She changes the curtains and strongly advises him to buy plants and flowers. But what really annoys her are all those mail boxes he has, why isn’t he opening them?!
He explains and she says, ok, well we have to open them and use them to redecorate, then eventually when your friend returns she can take back whatever she wants, it’s anyway a lot of souvenirs for only one appartment!!
So they start opening a box a week and start to imagine the adventures Sora is having.
Sora also sends letters and postcards by the way, and she even starts sending letters to Mimi because either way she was taking hold of Koushirou’s letters because he just doesn’t feel like writing.
They know Sora’s been dating for a while and has been traveling with said boy. The thing is: she’s dating Yamato, but Koushirou doesn’t know him and he doesn’t even have a picture, so he imagines what kind of guy she could be dating and Mimi’s creativity ends up “creating” Taichi’s image and personality and amazingness.
So now when they open the boxes and speak about Sora and Yamato they are actually thinking about Sora and Taichi (is this too weird?).
On the other hand, Sora tells Yamato everything about Koushirou and Mimi, but she doesn’t know her so she imagines that he’s dating someone like Miyako. So now when he speaks to Yamato about her best friend, and they prepare the next box, they are actually THINKING about Koushirou dating Miyako.
So there we have it. Some Koumi chapters with an imagined Taiora and some Sorato chapters with an imagined Kouyako.
Please tell me this isn’t too weird or stupid I’m so exited about this that I promise I will never write it.
I love you all but I love Koura more, what can I say.
Other stories that I will never write but you are welcomed to :)
We need a Koushirou webpage fic
We need a road trip fic
