Summary
“Alright. But you stay safe okay? I mean-” Eiji immediately regretted his reflexive reply to a goodbye. This wasn’t just your ordinary stranger, this was probably a powerful wizard for crying out loud.
But instead of an awkward laugh, the wizard settled with a gentle smile, the kind that reached his eyes and made the mystifying jade more brilliant than ever.
“Thanks. You stay safe too,” and with that, the wizard hopped off the balcony and vanished into the crowd below.---
In which Eiji gets cursed into a ghost, the kingdom wages war on its neighbours, and the devil wizard Ash Lynx roams the wastelands while striking fear into the strongest of hearts.
But of course, fate would see the seemingly heartless wizard fall in love with a heart that had so much to give.

Summary
Guan Shan's father leaves his family for work in New York at the beginning of the First World War — and is never heard from again.
In the autumn of 1928, thirteen years later, Guan Shan makes his own way to lower Manhattan's Little China to find him, with only the name of the man who signed his father's contract.
When he finds himself falling into the world of America's Roaring Twenties and Tong Wars, and everyone he meets is not quite as they seem, finding his father turns out to be much more complicated than he’d thought.

Summary
Atop his platform the Kuninotokotachi smiled, raised hands that were white and clean. He spoke clearly and evenly in his own flowing language, giving benediction and reassurance to the camp of refugees that had been accumulating in this village in Calabria in the last four years. Victor didn't know Japanese, didn't understand what was spoken, but the soft voice washed over him like a river, seemed responsible for the gentle breeze that blew into the proceedings and disrupted the intentions of the merciless sun. A young man in blue under a white umbrella, with his eyes shining, and a smile in his words.
Christophe tugged on his elbow. "Did you hear me, Victor?"
"Mm?" Victor shook his head, trying to clear it.
"I asked if you were ready to meet him."
Victor Nikiforov, reporter for the New York Times, goes to Italy to interview a shinto priest in exile, and makes a friend.

Summary
It couldn’t have meant so little, stardust in the face of planets. It couldn’t have meant so little because, if it did, Guan Shan would no longer be able to recognize himself as the person he became in the aftermath.
He’d be hollowed out, stripped of the lessons learned and the changed perspectives like loose threads on a tapestry being pulled apart. He couldn’t bear the thought that all of this — the fighting, the understanding, the falling, the loss, the violent and unceremonious unearthing — had been for nothing.
It was too painful to have been for nothing.
or: seven years later, he tian and jian yi return home. everyone has some healing to do.

Summary
“Hello.”
His voice is pleasant, pitched in a way that lays soft on Aslan’s ears. He has fluffy black hair that creeps out beneath his winter hat and flips up around his neck; Aslan traces the curls with his eyes.
He’s still warming up to these people, still unsure what his place is among them. He manages to say hello back, though, earning a genuine grin from the boy with the bird backpack. Eiji.
Growing up together in shy stutters. It takes a village.

Summary
For whatever reason, for whatever unknown reason, the moment that clock hit zero Yuuri Katsuki was entirely alone.
One normal Tuesday in late spring, Yuuri Katsuki starts seeing countdown clocks counting down from 24 hours on every single electronic surface. At the end of that day, everything changes and suddenly Yuuri finds himself entirely alone, with absolutely no signs of human life within the city.
At least, that was what he thought until he found himself looking down the barrel of a stranger's handgun. Suddenly, for the first time in months, Yuuri is not alone. Can he and the silver-haired man survive the endless summer days of the World's End Holiday and figure out just why they seem to be the last two people on earth, or are the pair doomed to living in the still silence of the empty world forever?

"I was scared of loosing you, and then I did anyway" by Linisen

Summary
Victor can’t remember the last time he talked to Yuuri. It seems crazy that someone that’s been so monumentally important to Victor just slid out of his life and he barely noticed. They grew up together in this courtyard, played in the sand and rode the slide. They went to school together, walking each day side by side the five blocks to elementary school, rode their bikes together when they started junior high. They spent countless hours in each others rooms, playing video games or just talking. They shared secrets, dreams and fears while sitting on those swings, and whenever Yuuri was sad or overthinking, Victor could always find him on top of the slide, face tipped to the sky. No matter the weather, this is where he always sat.
It’s where Victor finds him now.
or. Victor and Yuuri grows up as neighbours, pining for each other until they separate for college. A decade passes until they meet again.

Summary
“We live in a blue planet that circles around a ball of fire next to a moon that moves the sea, and you don’t believe in miracles?”
After an academic career at MIT and Oxford, Yuuri Katsuki eschews job offers at places like NASA and CERN to go work at the Very Large Array in what Phichit Chulanont lovingly calls The Actual Middle of Nowhere, New Mexico, monitoring radio frequencies from light-years away. He's loved the stars for as long as he can remember, and the universe feels so big sometimes that Yuuri is sure it would be a cruel mistake for humans to be all alone.
Enter the latest scientist to join the staff of the VLA, enigmatic Russian genius Victor Nikiforov, around whom Yuuri’s entire universe seems to bend to make room, and the strange, recurring dreams Yuuri keeps having, where something like love carries him across the stars.
Does love travel faster than light? Do souls?
“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”

Summary
Victor learns language through mimicry, hears phrases and repeats them back until the inflection becomes second nature. Yuuri seems to communicate best through euphemism, through metaphor, through talking around the subject rather than approaching it head on, and so Victor tries his best to mimic him, to take his words and echo them back.
(Vignettes in language learning and communication, spanning the whole series.)

Summary
He remembers his sister made being seventeen look like life was happening harder than it ever did. All those big, brutal feelings.
And he’s here now, and it's untangling in a pace too fast for him to hold onto anything. Something's starting and something's ending, and it makes sense until it doesn't, and he's stuck somewhere in the middle thinking it won't ever stop feeling like this.All this changing in a town where nothing ever does.
-
Being seventeen in the middle of nowhere isn't supposed to be a walk in the park. Add being crazy in love with your brother's best friend to the equation, and it’s safe to say you’re cosmically fucked for life.
Good thing Yuuri Katsuki's not used to having nice things.

Summary
Young artist Victor Nikiforov comes to Edo on a ship, facing a world very much unlike his own. For it bleeds ink and is adorned with petals, with great cruelty and beauty resting side by side. A world in which everyone, and everything, has its designated place.
But everything in Edo is a façade, and as an unexpected encounter at the theatre changes the course of Victor's travels, he steps into the world hidden behind the paper doors. And in it, a young man called Yuuri, dressed in melancholia, married to the most powerful man of Edo.
Victor never stood a chance.
