    Summary

    This is fine! (It’s not fine.) It’s all just fun and games. (He wants to have a fistfight with God.) It makes him want to die a little bit sometimes, but he’s fine. (He’s jerked off so much, his dick is chafing.)

    Or: Shirabu Kenjirou and Semi Eita are high school exes who end up living right next to each other, seven years after their dramatic breakup in the rain. Shit happens.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This fic made me laugh not even 30 seconds in, so I wasn't quite prepared for all the different kinds of emotions this would put me through. I can't remember the last time a fic has moved me as much as this one did. I laughed a lot, but I was sad a lot, too. It's so impressive how this fic could make you so emotional but then have you burst out laughing next. It was such an emotional rollercoster, but guess what? I didn't even mind it one bit. Every single moment of this fic was so worth reading. I would list my favourite moments, but there were so many that I wouldn't know where to stop! Although, let's say that Kenjirou naming his cat Princess Motherfucker is what made me committ to this fic– mind you that was just 6 paragraphs in!

    If I could recommend one fic and one fic only, I would recommend this one.

    Summary

    "Semi’s not sure how subtle the team is trying to be, but there must be some ungodly conspiracy pointed against him. It’s working in the sense that Semi is half aware that maybe this rivalry with Shirabu is a lot more troublesome than it seems, but really, that’s all he's getting."

    Or

    Second year Semi Eita faces the downward spiral that is his life following the arrival of some first year setter who's way too cocky for his own good.

    Oh, where do I even begin… I first read this fic years ago back in 2021, and now, over five years later in 2026, it still hits like crack.

    This fic is wonderfully written. Semi's and Shirabu's characterisation were so spot on, and their interactions as well as their interactions with their other teammates were so entertaining. It’s so worth the read and the re-read. Not a single moment of this fic was boring. Truly the SemiShira bible.

    Summary

    “Please,” he whispers, eyes closed, “please bring me a friend.” 

    The other kids at the orphanage aren’t necessarily unkind, but it’s clear they don’t understand him. They find him strange— too subdued— unnerving. They complain that he only seems to speak to correct them. It isn’t Kurapika’s fault they don’t know anything about the world. 

    In the light of the day he tells himself that he’s fine on his own. That he doesn’t need anyone new. That the experience of having everyone he ever loved taken from him has cooled his heart to affection. 

    But he is only nine, and life is long.

    Beautiful story and absolutely heart-warmingly, heart-breakingly gorgeous. The love they have for each other paired with Leorio's inability to exist in Kurapika's world hurt soo good. The definition of bittersweet.

    “I have to go,” Kurapika says quietly.

    “You don’t,” Leorio says. “You don’t really.”

    This fic is my absolute favourite fic of the peace series, and it absolutely deserves its own bookmark. I reread this a lot, and this is pretty much how I picture post-canon LeoPika.

    Summary

    Many have flocked to Liyue to try their hand at conquering Rex Lapis’ Path of Indomitable Jade, rumoured to be relentless in its challenge but bountiful in its reward. Unsurprisingly, Ajax’s one track mind honed in on the word challenge and ran all the way to Celestia with it.

    No one told him it was a bygone tradition that vied for the emperor’s hand in marriage, not until much later, when Liyue was already decked to the nines in preparation for the coronation of the emperor’s beloved consort– an Ajax-shaped consort.

    (In which a bored Childe thinks he’s scaling up mountains to fight adepti and gain bountiful gifts for his nation and all that jazz, but he actually ends up wooing one of them and fighting favour from the rest and-- uh, wait, what do you mean the eccentric rock enthusiast is the emperor--)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Perhaps my favourite ZhongChi fic ever. The fact that everyone and absolutely everyone but Childe himself knew just who he was engaged to was was so hilarious. Both of them were so oblivious and dense in this fic, and I think that's beautiful.
