Summary
Alfred F. Jones is the best math student in the school, and Ivan Braginsky is the best writer.
Unfortunately, Alfred can't write to save his life, Ivan can't do algebra to save his, and they both hate each other.
But when their grades start slipping, and their learning specialist forces them to tutor each other, the obvious solution is simple: trade skills, survive the semester, and go back to ignoring each other.
It would probably work better if they didn't keep seeing things about each other that they were never supposed to.
Or: two academic rivals discover that hating each other is much easier from a distance.

Summary
The room would have accepted the excuse without a second thought if it wasn't for the fact that America's hair was limp and unkempt, darker at the roots from missed washes. His skin was pale, almost sallow, and the dark circles under his eyes looked like bruises. The very sight immediately sent quiet alarm bells ringing in Japan’s mind.
Their eyes met, just for a second.
America flinched and looked away.
That brief glance said everything. It wasn’t embarrassment. It was guilt.
Canada noticed too. He always did. Chewing on the inside of his cheek, too unsure to speak.
England noticed most of all. How could he not?He’d practically raised the boy. How could he not see the slumped posture, the hollow brightness in his voice. None of it was right.
...
In which America deals with the aftermath of something horrible and everybody else tries their best to be there for him. As it turns out, he's not the only one with problems or bad coping mechanisms. Rape Recovery. Future AmePan and GerIta. Also FrUk. Character Projection from some personal experiences. Self-harm. FACE FAMILY STUFFS.

Summary
Matthew sure didn't want to listen to the rest of Arthur's never-ending presentation. Why not just walk out of the meeting? After all, playing hooky is easy when no one notices you in the first place-- except this time, someone did.
Listening to the Brit blab on about nothing at all was ear-grating, but replacing him with an obnoxious Prussian who talked about nothing but how awesome he was didn't seem all that much better.
Peace and quiet would never be Matthew's, but who knew skipping meetings with someone could be a whole lot better than taking lonely naps in the bathroom stall.
Still, that "awesome" talk sure was going to take some getting used to.or
Matthew starts skipping world meetings, and Gilbert decides it's his obligation to come along with him.

Summary
Ivan always bragged about how he had such a high alcohol tolerance to Alfred, about how he could walk straight after drinking “weak American alcohol”; yet he found himself questioning if that was true.
No, it had to be. Or maybe not. Why else would Ivan feel nauseous and dizzy as he watched his friend laugh with someone who wasn’t him? Why else would he feel dread about the thought of being pushed to the side? Those were not thoughts of a sober man.

Summary
Phainon blinked.
“Uh… a kitty?” he said, kneeling down in the grass.
And the beast spoke.
“I am not a cat!” the cat said sharply, sitting up just enough to glare at him.
Phainon stared.
“A… talking cat?” he said, incredulously. He leaned a little closer, now able to see the injury more clearly. Blood coated one of the creature’s legs.
“I said I am not a cat,” the creature repeated, its fur bristling irritably.
“You’re adorable,” Phainon remarked, leaning a little closer. “Are you injured?”
After being taken from the humble life he knew and thrust into the imperial palace as a forgotten prince, Phainon Khaslana expects only loneliness, etiquette lessons, and a long list of rules he barely understands. What he does not expect is a foul-tempered talking beast hiding in the palace gardens—one that insists it is definitely not a cat.

Summary
To say Matthew is envious of his brother is an understatement. Alfred basically took what was his life the moment he moved to Canada for university, and the only reason it bothers Matthew at all is because Alfred rubs it in! Good for him, he’s now the star athlete of the school and the hearthrob and the cocky ass cool guy! Matthew is completely forgotten about like usual, damn near ignored, and all thanks to his annoying brother who always finds a way to turn a compliment into an insult. Perfect Alfred and his loser brother, that’s how they’re known now.
But then arrives a pretty transfer student, one with almost lilac eyes and a smile that makes Matthew’s cheeks warm. Of course Alfred tries to take him too.
Matthew won’t let him.
(AKA mutually toxic RusCan where both of them make each other worse)

Summary
The eight year old Xiao is not happy with his parents’ plans to haul him off to the faraway, rural Mondstadter town of Starfell every summer until he’s dead. There’s nothing to do, and their summer cottage is too far from anything even remotely interesting enough to make it worth the trip! He’s already preparing himself for the worst summer he has ever had—and many more to come.
But then, he meets Aether, the boy next door. “Next door”, of course, entailing that he lives about a kilometer away. They quickly become best friends, inseparable if it weren’t for the force of a thousand more kilometers between them every other season.
When their lives are turned upside down within the treacherous waters of growing up, they come to find they will need each other more than ever, fearing the worst with every wave. Amidst the tumult of navigating confusion, emotions, stress, and changes that neither of them were ready for, though, something else is born—something that could either drive a wedge between them forever, or bring them closer together than ever before.

Summary
"Pitiful, he had originally thought to himself, for someone to be lonely enough to call a demon for conversation and comfort. But Xiao had found a weird sentiment deep in the crevices of his heart, one he hadn’t felt since the days of the other Yakshas. He had found himself enjoying— no, not that far— standing this ‘traveler’s company."
Xiao keeps getting bothered by a certain traveler and is getting confused on why, but he can't think for a second, maybe he just likes his company.

Atsushi Nakajima gets adopted from his abusive orphanage by a stone-faced man and abruptly receives an entire new family, and goes to high school for the first time.
This fic was originally a one-shot, but it is now multiple shots so idk. Expect a kind of laid-back, slightly wack slice-of-life story without too much of an overarching plot.Bookmarked by crypticivan
