    Summary

    Ash Lynx was that one person, whose face followed someone everywhere.

    He beamed from shampoo ads, his name played on the radio, his face on the cover of ELLURE made girls scream like they were struck by a bullet to the heart. This model was a constant infinite presence.
    Yes, dear readers, know you know, he - Aslan Callenreese - was New York's brilliantly blooming flower.

    Eiji Okumura was that one person, who no one recognized.

    Fueled by frustration and dreams, Eiji moves to the city that never sleeps, to study design at the prestigious Parsons University. Between overpriced apartments and pizza leftovers, he believed his life would be normal for a student - until one night changed everything.

    One night, that thrusts him into glamorous outings, gives him a ticket to the brutal fashion industry and leads Eiji drawn towards one person: Ash Lynx.

    Summary

    Katsuki's hand moved instinctively, grabbing the edge of his mask with a shaky breath. "I have to know..." His voice was raw, his usual confidence faltering for the first time.

    Izuku’s hands froze, feeling the weight of the mask lift from his face, revealing the truth.
    Katsuki's eyes widened in horror, his grip tightening around the mask. "No... no way..."

    "I’m sorry, Kacchan..." Izuku whispered, blood dripping from a cut on his forehead, his voice trembling with guilt. "I never meant for you to find out like this.."

    The words hit Katsuki like a slap to the face, disbelief spreading across his facial features. "You're... Spiderman?"

    Summary

    Extreme canon divergence/ AU: What if Eiji never injured himself and therefore never came to the US? The events of Banana Fish still happened, but differently, as Eiji wasn't there to influence them.

    Without the injury to slow him down, Eiji Okumura continued to pole vault and eventually won the bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (which actually took place in 2021). Two and a half years later, he finally arrives in New York City. Haunted by feelings of inadequacy, he's ready to give up pole vaulting and create a new life for himself as a photographer. However, the immigration process in the US is long and complicated, and there's no guarantee he'll even be accepted.

    Eiji wants a shortcut, and Max Lobo suggests one in the form of a fake marriage to Ash Lynx.

    Summary

    One night, world famous musician Ash Lynx drunk tweets about a cute boy he saw in a magazine and all hell breaks loose.

    “Oh my God, just show me!” Eiji yells nervously.

    Yut-Lung presses his lips tightly, turning his phone screen for Eiji to see. Eiji tenses when he sees the photos from his photoshoot on Twitter, but it’s nothing compared to the way his body freezes when he notices the person who tweeted them.

    Ash Lynx ✓ @ash-lynx

    who are you where do you live how old are you why are you so fine how do you like your eggs in the morning

    Eiji stares, and stares, and stares while his brain processes the fact that Ash Lynx, the Ash Lynx –famous musician whose entire discography is on Eiji’s Spotify list— has tweeted about him and called him fine.

    A long moment later, Eiji’s mouth falls open and a scream rips from his throat.

    Summary

    Eiji took a breath, this was it, the moment he had been secretly hoping for and dreading. He opened his mouth to speak once more, the words tumbling out like vomit, slurred and jumbled up together, barely coherent. “TheTruthIsThatILikeYou.” His breathing sped up, heaving almost as his eyes refused to pull away from Ash’s, wanting to really register his reaction. A smile tugged at his lips, his tongue clicking slightly before he finally spoke. “You’re drunk.”

    Or in other words: AU in which Eiji (lonely foreign exchange student) gets partnered with Ash (certified bad boy) and develops a teensy crush on him.

    Summary

    Ash Lynx is dead.

    When leaving New York, Eiji left with a small hope and prayer. That sometime, someway, in the near or far future, he'd be able to take Ash's hand. But now those dreams were crushed and he was at a loss. It made no sense for him to die so easily. So unnoticed?

    So when the golden opportunity presented itself in front of him, a way to save Ash, he took it without a second thought. Because if he could save Ash then nothing mattered anymore.

    Okumura Eiji had felt his world shatter the moment he got a call reporting the death of his best friend.

    And you can bet all your money that he's not letting it happen again this time.

    It would be easy...right?

    Summary

    🖼️ Illustrated fanfiction 🖼️

    Ash Lynx, a foreign student in Tokyo, sought peace when he crossed the ocean, but the nightmares and memories that haunt him have followed, leaving him restless and aimless.

    Across the city, Okumura Eiji, the reluctant heir to a powerful yakuza empire, gazes over Tokyo from the rooftop of his father’s building. He feels the suffocating weight of duty, wondering how much longer he can pretend in a world that feels so wrong.

    When Ash crosses paths with Shorter Wong, the eccentric leader of a Chinese gang, he’s drawn into a different side of Tokyo—a world brimming with danger, alliances, and the unexpected rush of feeling alive.

    “If you stay, things will only get worse. And I can’t promise you’ll make it out unharmed.”

    There’s a gravity in Eiji’s words, something that cuts through the usual bravado Ash wears like armor. He remains silent for a few seconds, taking in the weight of the situation, but even then, he doesn’t flinch.

    "I’m not looking for safety, Eiji. I’m just looking for a way to survive. I’ve been doing that my whole life."

    Summary

    After Jayce's dorm is flooded, he is quickly moved to another. He ends up rooming with Viktor, a foreign exchange student who sparks a curiosity in Jayce that he'd never thought he would experience. His androgynous beauty and quick mind seem to run circles of confusion and awe inside Jayce's mind. Though not in any way against homosexuality, he shocks himself when parts of him start to reveal itself.

    Viktor, coming from a country not accepting of queer people causes him to envelope himself in internalized homophobia and insecurity... but most of all worry when he meets his new roommate. Jayce was tall, strong, and kind in a way Viktor had never been at the receiving end of. He hopes that these warm feelings in his chest and heated thoughts in his head are just a side effect of being treated kindly for the first time in a while- but he knows better.

    Summary

    “Jayce, what are you…"
    The door closed behind them. Before Viktor could finish his question, Jayce’s hands were on his shoulders, his lips capturing Viktor’s mouth in a kiss that was anything but gentle.
    “Jayce,” he murmured between kisses, “we… ah… someone might…"
    “I don’t care,” Jayce muttered, his voice low and rough. His hands slid down to Viktor’s waist, pulling him closer. “I want you".

    ***

    PLOT: Jayce and Viktor are young students at the Academy, who meet by an accident. From the very beginning Jayce is truly fascinated by his new colleague. To his surprise, Viktor is not like his other friends. He is distant, mysterious, but also extremely brilliant, good-looking, and—what seems to be the biggest problem—completely resistant to Jayce's personal charm. This casual acquaintance becomes a real challenge for Jayce.

    The young Talis has no idea that his relationship with Viktor will turn his life upside down.

    ***

    I wrote this as a coping mechanism to deal with the ending of the show. If you're looking for an easy read, filled with fluff, you're in the right place. We'll go on an adventure together, full of our favorite themes (like "only one bed"). So buckle up and let's go!

    Summary

    “You always… go on saving other people. Why couldn’t you have this one thing… if anyone deserved to be a hero… it— it—”

    “I’m glad,” Izuku cut him off, “you wanted me to be a hero so badly, Kacchan. And I— I’ve never, ever asked anything of you before… but I need to ask you now…”

    Katsuki met his eyes, trying not to lose his nerve.

    “Please don’t tell me I can still be a hero.”

    Bakugou Katsuki needs three things to bring Izuku's dream back to life: time, money, and patience. And so, he chooses to dedicate infinite amounts of patience, millions of yen, over eight years, to his one and only goal.

    When Izuku closes his book on life as a hero, Katsuki opens another, and etches Izuku's name into the pages, the spine, the seams, the ink, everything.

    The lines of their stories intertwine like fireworks and lightning ringing loudly and shining brightly for everyone to see.

    Summary

    Izuku should ask him to stay, but the words get stuck in his throat.
    He’s been doing that recently. Even when he wants to do things, he can’t bring himself to do them. The only thing he’s been able to force himself to commit to is teaching his students, to be there for them.
    “Want to grab something to eat?” Katsuki asks to fill the silence. “I’ve got nothing else today.”
    Say yes. Just say yes.
    “But I’m drenched,” Izuku says, making an excuse with the rain.
    Katsuki scoffs, unimpressed. “Then go inside and change.”

    (OR Midoriya is now a 26 year-old UA teacher trying to rediscover what it means to be happy and navigate the trauma that came with saving the world. Bakugou is at his side to help and maybe *wink wink* the two of them start to realize they're in love. It's a romcom/dramedy style fic about Midoriya and Bakugou getting together after the timeskip.)

    “Bakugo, you need to update your costume.” Kirishima said, “There’s this one dude in the support class- he’s got a literal waiting list, that’s how good he is- but he did my new upgrade."

    “Yeah,” Bakugo sighs and leans back on his hands, staring at the bracer. “I know. I’ll go,” his mouth twists a little. “I’ll go tomorrow. This is just- this is my design you know?” he’s not explaining himself very well, and refuses to look at Kirishima.

    “It can be hard to give up your first hero design, and you did a great job,” Kirishima said. “You definitely had the best one out of all of us when we first got our costumes."

    Bakugo hunched his shoulders. “I didn’t design it,” he grumbled.
