Summary
It is 1885, Kyoto, peacetime.
A bloody street-side massacre has been identified by Saito as the product of Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu. There are two suspects: Himura Kenshin and his master Hiko Seijuro the Thirteenth. Unbeknownst to them, a third user of their exalted style has time travelled to the future: Hiko Seijuro the Twelfth.

Summary
Millenia ago, the Noblesse sentenced and severed every last noble contractor with humans when the Lord decreed contracts outlawed. Now, he has taken fancy to a human himself, offering him endless liberties and protections. The hypocrisy is maddening. Lukedonia has lost their faith in their Noblesse. As nobles go missing from outside of Lukedonia once again, the Noblesse will do something unprecedented: he will leave the island to investigate.
Of course, he takes his little pet human with him.
No one has heard from him since.
(A look at the first true contract in an age.)

Summary
"Cadis Etrama di Raizel will die."
"He'll die?"
"Yes. Well….much sooner than you thought he was going to, anyway."
"Now then, traitor, care to tell why you've brought this information to me?"
"Simply, I've come to warn you of his death in advance. He seems important to you, that's all. And what's more, Frankenstein, care to realise you addressed me glaringly wrong? I'm not one of your Master's traitors."
The 820 years spent parted takes its toll on Raizel and Frankenstein. They've never been at odds with each other until now — when their household is threatened by an enemy with a personal grudge against the Noblesse, and history with the Frankenstein. Frankenstein must protect the life he has built with Raizel, but he is determined to do it alone. All the while, Dark Spear whispers cruelly.

Summary
They say he is an Oxford man, a doctor, a war hero, a gangster, murderer, witch, devil. No one really knows who he is or from where he came, but they know one thing: the man is certainly richer than god.
It is 1923, New York, at the height of the Jazz Age. In West Egg there lies a gothic mansion, misplaced among all the other shiny New Money estates. Week after week, the mysterious Mr. Frankenstein throws party after party at the Cadis Mansion, prompting onlookers to wonder where the money comes from, what he looks like, but most importantly — why he so generously opens the Cadis Mansion to the public.
Nick Clerval, a war veteran turned bonds salesman moves in next door. One day, he gets an invitation.
(A Noblesse-Gatsby AU.)

Summary
It’s like Reigen’s been waiting for the question. He stops dead on the pavement, grips Mob by the shoulders, and stares down into his eyes with an expression as haunted as though every ghost the pair of them has ever exorcised has taken up residence behind it. “Mob,” he says. “Mob,” he says again. “Tell me, Mob. Look at me and tell me. Tell me truthfully. Do I look cursed to you?”
Mob looks at him, and tells him truthfully. “No.”
“Well, you didn’t look very long,” says Reigen. “Let’s just stand here for a moment, like so, and you can have another look, a nice long look, and really think about it...”
(There's nothing strange about being called back to exorcise the same haunted photocopier six days in a row. It must just be a very haunted photocopier.)
