Summary
Just as it had one hundred times past, time keeps ticking towards the day that will determine whether or not Akira can finally break free of his fate. This time, however, Akira has a new symbol of hope by his side--with a smile that could outshine the sun and a heart that was big enough to take in all of Akira with room to spare. Perhaps this time, he would finally….

Summary
Ryuji mulled it over. On the one hand, he had been friends with Shiho and Ann for over a decade now and trusted them both with his life (even if he did have difficulty talking to them about this particular incident). On the other hand, agreeing to let a stranger babysit his kids on such short notice was pretty sketchy. But Shiho was right about his ma and her schedule. And he couldn’t bring the kids to school with him. And he really couldn’t afford to pay an actual babysitter. So, he relented.
In which Ryuji is a struggling single dad, and Ren is the wonderful nanny who saves him from himself.

Summary
Ryuji's never been too interested in the ocean. Sure, Ann found it fascinating and wouldn't shut up about all the cool stuff down there, but Ryuji just never saw the appeal. Until, that is, the conservatory rescues a creature with the lower body of a fish and the upper body of the most gorgeous guy he's ever seen. That, he was interested in.

Summary
Twelve months really aren't that bad, Ryuji figures. His cell is more like a dorm, and he'll be out soon enough. The treatment is fine, and it was worth it. After all, he's only been selling those goddamn drugs to help his mom. It's alright.
That is, until he gets a roommate, one of the devious, sly kinds that you should avoid at every possible cost. From there on, things spiral downward, and soon enough, Ryuji finds himself thrown into the choice of go along or bite the dust.
Just his casual kind of bad luck catching up to him.- Language:

Summary
It's hardly a secret to anyone that Akira and Ryuji finding each other and staying together is more than just a coincidence. It's meant to be. It's fate.
Through ups and downs, they'll learn that even if things aren't always easy, they can conquer all as long as they're one.
Forever.[#8: The couple-off is hardly more than a random argument between siblings - except it means so much more, and Ryuji falls in love anew.]

Summary
Ryuji had, for the longest time, understood four key things.
One: in life, quirks were everything.
Two: people heard what they wanted to hear. Believed what they wanted to believe.
They heard the name Sakamoto, and before Ryuji had so much as raised a hand to wave they expected a fist.
Three: his mother had always said, with her soft smile and her soft hands carding through his hair, that there were still good things. There’s always something good, Ryuji, you just have to find it.
The fourth thing came later. It was okay, then, for a while, that people heard his name and filled in the blanks. It was okay that they whispered and ran away at recess. It was okay that he wasn’t born to be a hero the way his dad was.
Ryuji would much rather be born to help.(A BNHA fusion you don't need to know anything about BNHA to understand)

Summary
Nothing but this, the whole summer, just the two of them; Akira taking a well-deserved break, and Ryuji running from his failures.
That’s always been something he’s been good at, at least. Good to see nothing’s changed.

Summary
It's warm. Too warm for Ryuji's liking. It is fall, after all. But as he lay there in his studio apartment on this warm morning before dawn, a familiar scent hits his nose. Cigarettes. He hates cigarettes. And he's determined to let his neighbor know his exact feelings on them. But who is this guy greeting him with a warm smile and the promise of coffee? That... Wasn't how he thought this would pan out. He certainly didn't think that maybe he'd have a future with this annoying, sassy, rude, beautiful man living in the apartment just below his own.
Nor did he expect to get dragged into so much trouble because of him either.
