"The Human Mask" a Natsume Yuujinchou fan fiction described by author harunekonya as, "An inter-connected vignette series." it's the continuation/sequel to a one-shot called "Worthy of a Name", which can be summed up as "Misuzu tricks Takashi Natsume into becoming someone worthy of holding onto his name, a yokai god."
But Takashi, in either fics, is most certainly NOT a God-Mode Sue. In fact, the reason I'm putting the proverbial spot light on this fic in particular is because aside from the fact that the synopsis becomes "Yokai god and former human learns to both control his new found powers and learn the social rules of the yokai world while keeping up appearances of still being human among humans", the eponymous 'Human Mask' (even though oddly enough he ends up wearing an actual mask...in yokai form), it still feels like something that could come out of the original series itself. To say nothing of (at the time of posting) the (by now fixed) debacle about the first one or two versions of chapter 60. As harunekonya learns the hard way that, and I quote from the authors notes of chapter 61, "never, ever, EVER attempt to write when you're jetlagged [sic]. It is a bad idea."
In other words, it's (maybe) an Elseworld fic that manages to also include the Original Flavour (yes, I know that's British spelling) like the original series, there's no cannon ships anywhere. Even then, I already mentioned the reason why I'm not going to mention any Natsume Yuujinchou fan fic that does include shipping (If you know what I mean, wink-wink, nudge-nudge, say no more, say no more!).
Point is, if you like Natsume Yuujinchou itself, I highly recommend this fan fiction.
