Summary
Matikanefukukitaru has always felt the heat of the sun upon her. When she was a child, she first felt its touch, spurring her on to begin racing. When she was a racer, it drove her onwards, to heights she never thought possible. But now, her racing days are behind her. She had her run in the Twinkle Series, then the Dream Series, and now she begins the next chapter of her life - returning to Tracen as a trainer. But the heat of the sun is fading, and surrounded by her peers old and new, the question lingers; does she deserve this?
Dantsu Flame has many regrets. Regrets that she didn't go further, run harder, accomplish more. She was part of a legendary era of the Twinkle Series, though never in its spotlight. She ran well in the Dream Series, and made a name for herself that lasted - lasted enough to get her a job with the now-legendary racing silk designer King Halo. Thrust into a position that demands constant drive, decision-making, and pressure, the question lingers; can she do this?
By happenstance, their paths cross at Tracen Academy. After all, Fate has a funny way of making the most of chance encounters.
Updates as chapters are finished!

Summary
Over the vast stretch of the endless blue, she stood alone. A dream she thought. An empty one. The silhouettes that once painted this blue canvas, gone after a year… yet the four years that they painted this place, it was a spectacle, one she couldn't forget.
A single silhouette stayed with her. Persistent. Following her wherever she went, sharing the burdens of the emotions she felt, happy or sad.
The ending, while it didn't end the way she wanted, she was satisfied. As the elaborate journey through the endless blue was shared with him, and only him. The bright silhouette, her ever true star.

Summary
What does it mean to be cool? Is it the way you dress? The way you walk? The way you act? That’s something one uma is still desperately trying to figure out. But if there’s one thing Vodka knows for certain, it’s that this brand-new trainer is definitely not cool.
And then there’s her, Daiwa Scarlet. The one girl Vodka can never seem to get along with, no matter how hard she tries. Rival? A best friend? Something else entirely? Even Vodka can’t name whatever’s growing between them. Or maybe she doesn't want to.
Her team doesn’t make things any easier.
Tamamo Cross, the cocky, stubborn ball of lightning who's dealt with judgement her whole life.
And Haru Urara, the softest ray of sunshine imaginable, trying so hard to help everyone that she forgets herself.In the middle of all this, Vodka is forced to confront her biggest question:
If being cool is all about being yourself…
then who exactly is Vodka supposed to be?If you need to escape the mountain of Vodsca angst and sadness out there, this is the fanfic for you!
Real life, Anime, and Game inspired. More shenanigans. Less weird stuff. It’ll be a grand ole time.

Of course, her job soon expands from just being a trainer, as she helps them take their first steps into growing up and finding love…and maybe even rediscovering it herself when she meets and starts to fall for Tazuna Hayakawa, secretary to the academy’s director…and someone Yumiko can swear she recognizes.

Summary
Disaster strikes for Matikanefukukitaru! Not only has the contents of her school bag been stolen - including a heartfelt birthday gift designed to avert disaster at the upcoming Kikuka Sho - but an unfortunate encounter with a swerving delivery truck causes a massive repair bill to land in the lap of Tracen's resident good luck charm. With the help of the enterprising Agnes Digital, the two come up with an exciting new moneymaking venture to help the lovesick and superstitious at Tracen Academy: Digi-Fuku's Love & Luck Consulting, a (dubiously) professional, (hopefully) discrete, and (questionably) affordable consultation business for all things dating and divination. The fates of Fukukitaru and Digital are intertwined, and a great upheaval is on the horizon for Tracen's prospective couples! All sales are final.
