Summary
“I’m here to save you.” She places her other hand lightly on the pommel of the basket-hilted sword whose steel shaft runs ramrod straight through Utena’s heart. “You don’t have to bear this anymore.”
Utena’s fingers grasp at Anthy’s hand, gripping with all of her remaining strength. “No. NO!!" she cries. "You musn’t!! I won’t let you…” She turns her head, shrinking into the wall of the coffin, hair cascading in limp strands around her face, and she speaks in a quiet voice.
“I won’t...I won’t be like him.”
“You could never be. I had a think about it, while I was searching for you, and I won’t let anyone do that to me again. But you shouldn’t have to bear it alone.” She kisses Utena’s forehead. “Just give me your burden for a little while. Just long enough for you to rest.”
---------Four years after leaving Ohtori, Anthy finds Utena and rescues her - but that doesn't mean that the swords of hate just go away. A series of vignettes about Utena and Anthy's lives as they learn to live together sharing the swords, and build a healthy relationship with theirr own respective martyrdom complexes.

Summary
Fifteen years (well, almost sixteen, let's be fair.) after setting off from Ohtori Academy, Anthy Himemiya has a nightmare. Like fairytales often go, the most simple solution is often the correct one; reality is the same, when you get down to brass tacks.
Or!
Utena misinterprets a line of dialogue. Anthy is very patient. Nanami's day is ruined.

Summary
After S, Reki mopes, gets an ear piercing, accidentally adopts a small army of children, and wonders why Langa stares at him in class all the time.
---
"But Reki finds that the world agrees with him like this; that maybe he is still a favored son of Okinawa. He might not burn as brightly, not soar as high, but he’s still part of something beautiful. With every push against the pavement, every grind, every gravity defying leap into the air, he redefines and transforms the world around him."
---
Or: Reki Kyan learns to be loved.

Summary
“Got a message from your girlfriend?” Jonathan says knowingly, putting his foot down on his own skateboard to roll it back and forth.
“Boyfriend, actually,” Langa casually corrects him like he’s commenting about the weather while typing a response to the message he had just received.
Jonathan chokes on his own spit and almost falls off of his board. He’s sexy, gay, and a hopeful pro skateboarder? Life is so not fair.
5 times people try to ask Langa out and 1 time he doesn't say no.
