Summary
“Perfect, isn’t it?” Dazai beamed, apparently seeing no issue with the absolute disaster he’d created. “Akutagawa would never try to get close to Atsushi if he knew my true intentions. But by first seeing Atsushi as a rival, he’ll try to grow closer to him in order to learn his weaknesses.”
“That’s—” Chuuya started to say.
Dazai leaned forward with a hand cupped behind his ear. “It’s what? An amazing idea? Genius? Brilliant?”
“Insane. Idiotic. Ridiculous.”
After four years of separation, Dazai and Chuuya are tasked with setting up Atsushi and Akutagawa. They agree that if they succeed, they'll never need to speak to each other again.
But during a summer at the seaside, as they watch their two students fall for each other, old memories and feelings begin to resurface. (Or, a heavily Pride and Prejudice inspired Regency AU.)

Summary
"Are you a ghost?" Lance asked.
"Am I a … ? No, I'm not a ghost."
"Oh." Lance’s shoulders sagged. "Sorry. The mullet threw me off. I thought maybe you died in the seventies or something."
When Shiro and Matt disappear without a trace, Keith seeks out the help of Matt's sister, Pidge—who, like him, suspects that something paranormal is afoot. A trail of clues leads them to a ghost town called Altea, where they meet ghost hunters Hunk and Lance. The group soon discovers they are paladins—they have the ability to walk between the physical and spirit worlds. An evil spirit named Zarkon is planning to invade the human world... and the only way to stop him, and to save Shiro and Matt in time, is to form an immensely powerful being called Voltron. But in order to do that, they'll need to find all five ghost lions—each located in one of the most haunted locations in the world.

Summary
And so, before Reki could convince himself this was a very very bad idea, he heard himself saying, “But I mean, if you want to... practice. With me. I’d be okay with it.”
Langa’s eyes went round. “What?”
Reki tried not to slap himself in the face. Why the hell had he said that? Maybe he could say it had been a joke? No, that would sound mean. It was probably best to act cool, like he hadn’t meant anything by it. After all, he hadn’t meant anything by it, right?
“I mean, I was just offering. ‘Cause you can trust me to be honest with you, y’know? But if you don’t—”“Okay,” Langa said.
Wait, what?
or, Reki finds out that Langa has never kissed anyone before and offers to help him practice—but when Reki starts to realize he likes Langa as more than a friend, things get complicated.

Summary
There’s a dull thud behind her. A twig snaps.
“Miss Any—” Even before she turns all the way, Yor’s voice catches in her throat. That footstep sounded too heavy to be Anya. Too heavy to be human.
A hulking form stands a few paces away. A pair of beady black eyes glare at her. The creature’s shaggy brown fur ruffles in the breeze, and its sides heave with furious breaths.
The Forgers go on a family camping trip, and Yor is doing her best to act the part of a responsible mother. But when Anya goes missing and a bear appears in the woods, Yor will do whatever it takes to get her daughter back. (Written for Spy x Vacation Zine.)

Summary
Chuuya sways a little, head nodding like he can barely keep it upright. His eyes are glassy, eyelids starting to droop. He’s muttering something that sounds almost like a prayer, but Dazai can’t hear it until Chuuya falls forward—or maybe leans in, it’s hard to tell—until his forehead touches Dazai’s, until a strand of his hair brushes the side of Dazai’s face.
“Don’t die,” he’s saying. A command, a plea. “Don’t die, you bastard.”
Strangely, Dazai wants to obey it.
Strangely, the last thing he thinks is that he can’t die. That there’s something he needs to say first. Something he needs to do.
or, after a near death experience, Dazai realizes he might have a reason to live after all.

Summary
They reached the fork in the road where they’d split—one path leading off toward Hikaru’s house, the other toward Yoshiki’s. They slowed.
With his back still turned, Hikaru murmured, “I can protect you, y’know. From anything.”
Yoshiki blinked.
Hikaru’s voice was quiet. Steady. Almost gentle. “Long as you stay by my side, I’ll keep you safe. I’ll consume whatever tries to take you from me.”

Summary
Yoshikaru Week 2025, Day 5: Date
"Hey, Yoshiki... look." He stops to marvel in front of one display in particular, but his arms are slack at his sides. The creatures bobbing inside are mostly transparent, but the light shining through them highlights their multicolor reality: the blue of their bodies; the yellow-green of their internal organs; their numerous tendrils, tipped with purple and fluorescent pink. The placard beneath the tank reads 'Flower Hat Jellyfish'. "This one kinda looks like me."
He's right. They're beautiful.
Or: Yoshiki and Hikaru visit an aquarium.

Summary
The thing is, Luke knows that he’s important to Elliot.
And Luke loves Elliot. He knows he does; he has loved Elliot nearly as long as he’s known him, even if it took him much longer to accept it. And as much as he wonders, he’s never thought to ask, to demand Elliot put a name to his feelings.
Part of him is afraid of the answer, should push come to shove. Doesn’t know what answer he wants.
(He does; of course he does. But Luke Sunborn has always been stubborn, and he has always been exceedingly good at lying to himself.)

Summary
God, capital-G God, Sideways thinks, is as nebulous a concept as gender or sexuality. It can be as stoic or fluid as its audience allows, and really, in the grand scheme of things, it’s an antiquated ideology—the ideology of an old, dying world. Its gods have to die with it.
But not them. Not Sideways Pike, and not their girls.

Summary
One night, Deet catches a shooting star—or rather, a young Gelfling named Brea who had fallen from the sky, kept afloat only by her mysterious crystal pendant. From there, the two Gelfling find themselves on a perilous journey to find the mysterious and legendary floating island of Thra. Along the way, they must team up with a ragtag crew of sky pirates who seek to unearth Thra's treasures and must evade the Skeksis who seek to control Thra's destructive automaton armies.
And perhaps they'll find something else between them, something more precious and powerful than anything Thra could possess.
(a castle in the sky au)
