Summary
Reinhard couldn’t help but recall a conversation he had with Subaru long ago, when Reinhard still felt moored in his own mind, and Subaru’s presence didn’t affect him beyond the joy of seeing a treasured friend. He had admitted to him wholeheartedly of the perceived dangers of having someone be that important to you. The impracticality of it all coupled with the self-centered demands it would bring about, voluntary or not.
And now look at him. Was he always doomed to fail in the most wonderful way possible?
----
Arriving late at night to report to Lady Felt on the rise in witch cultist sightings, Reinhard ends up sharing a quiet moment with Subaru, reflecting on the struggles of their freshly started courtship and the fears he has.

Summary
There's a lot that Subaru has had to take in stride being dropped into a foreign fantasy world and dying three times in his first day. And yet this somehow felt like the most incomprehensible part to him.
"So believe me. We can maybe fix this up together, okay? I bet who you really are after was just strolling past us nearby and the signals were just a little skewed. It's a simple mistake!"

The Demon Who Wasn’t by Snor2

Summary
The summoning ritual was perfect. The candles were burning. The pentagram was straight. The blood was fresh.
Only the demon himself turned out to be... well... clearly not the one the manual promised.
Too handsome. Too meek. Too "excuse me, I will try to live up to your expectations."
Now, both of them have to figure out what to do when they are bound by a contract, and the incubus in question is a being who flinches even at your breath.Bookmarked by Holtsclaw

Bookmarker's Notes
They don't know what they're doing, and I'm so here for it😭 Plus, exploration on Reinhard's inhuman qualities that don't take away from the fact that he cares, even if he doesn't know what to do about it.

Strange Differences Makes Bonding Time by FlorQuinnUwU

Summary
"See!", Subaru raised his hands. "I told you!"
"This doesn't mean anything, Barusu", Ram huffed. "You could've just worn a cologne with the smell of ripe appas."
Ripe appas, huh? Subaru didn't know his scent is like that...
"Betty can confirm that Betty's Subaru never wore any of the sort. Hmph", Beatrice scowled.
Subaru is an omega, and he's currently living in this world where secondary genders never existed for humans. That's fine and all, but this means some things won't be easy to do. Handling his heat is one of them.
How would Subaru be able to go through with it properly, if the people he's with are unfamiliar with his unique biology?
Regardless, Emilia and his friends are willing to help him with whatever he needs.

A fun Re:Forgotten JuliSuba adventure! They're so adorable I swear. The details of Julius' backstory of struggling with his sexuality, and how it relates to his complex of being the finest knight, are especially intriguing as I usually just see him feel pretty confident from the get-go with that side of himself. It makes for a mutual warm-up between Subaru and Julius as they come to treasure each other in that way.

Bookmarker's Notes
Precious, high-quality Subaru and Beako interactions. Goes into intriguing detail about Subaru's place in the world and how it literally haunts him. Great depiction of Subaru's distress and self-deprecation too.
I love the attention to his contract with Beatrice, and her POV in this is genuinely one of the best I've ever seen. It really shows her softness around Subaru, her social and emotional struggles, and her sophisticated, prim, and mature nature that comes from her age and knowledge.

Summary
“It won't take too long,” Felix said, moving his hands towards exposed skin. “In a few sessions, nyour gate will-”
Subaru flinched.
Hard.
Or: Subaru hasn't had great experiences with healing magic. This becomes painfully evident

Bookmarker's Notes
A really neat exploration of Felix and Crusch realizing that, in addition to Subaru’s bizarre characteristics, there's something horrifying and worrying going on under the surface. As a result of their concerns and suspicions, this AU dives more into Subaru having a more personal connection with them and becoming close friends, which is very endearing and fascinating to compare to canon.
The plot is also not just a rehash of canon too. The things set in motion during Arc 3 make Arc 4 in this AU DRASTICALLY different due to the Crusch Camp's increasing involvement with the weirdest guy in the world and the trouble he gets into.
