Summary
“You want to ruin him," Sukuna says.
Maybe Sukuna isn’t wrong about that, Fushiguro thinks in a daze. Itadori’s heart is too heavy and too precious. It’s a burden that shouldn’t be given to anyone else. Because even Itadori himself can’t take care of it, can’t hold onto it for the life of him because he’d rather become the vessel to the most wretched of all curses just to help two people he’s only known for a few months—to help Fushiguro, who he’d only met that night.
(I can keep it. Fushiguro’s hands move. I can hold onto it, if you want.)
Maybe Sukuna’s definition of ruin wasn’t all that wrong from what Fushiguro wanted after all. Maybe that did make him just as wretched.
But if Itadori was still willing to stay beside him, despite knowing that—
Then there was no reason for Fushiguro to let him go.
Or—
Some dreams start to keep Fushiguro up at night, and the cure to stopping them might be closer than he thinks.

Summary
Itadori stared after Fushiguro, lingering on his bizarre spiked nest of hair and the dollop of shampoo on his ear that he’d neglected to wash away in the shower. “I think I might be bisexual.”
No shit. And Sukuna might be the mass-murdering, chaos-inciting King of Curses.When, exactly, Itadori began treating him as a live-in therapist, Sukuna wasn’t sure. All he knew was that he needed to put a stop to it.

Summary
Ash isn't dead. Yet.
But no one knows that the John Doe fighting for his life in a coma is a notorious gang boss whose life and death has impacted so many others. And so they grieve and try to move forward without a very important missing piece. Some manage better than others, but Ash's shoes are big ones to try to fill and burying a son or a mentor or a lover isn't something that comes easily.
Meanwhile an old friend takes Ash's spirit on a tour of the people who love and miss him. It's silly. It's irreverent. It may just be enough to convince Ash that his own life is worth fighting for.
Or
Shorter drags Ash on a chaos fueled adventure to prove to him that he deserves to live, better yet, to live happily ever after. Everyone else is just trying not to fall apart completely.
Working title: The Ghosty-Ghost Adventures of Ash and Shorter

love, theatrics and whatever else exists in this world by MohMaya
Fandoms: Banana Fish (Anime & Manga)
01 Aug 2021
Tags
Summary
“And what if souls aren’t real? What if the universe has no investment whatsoever in human relationships and there’s nowhere to go after you die? What if we’re just bags of chemicals and electricity?”
Eiji glares at him, and for a second, Ash actually thinks he’s won this argument. But then Eiji cracks a rakish smile, and Ash knows it’s actually the opposite.
“Ever heard of the first law of thermodynamics? No energy in the universe is created, and none is destroyed. It only moves from one form to another. So, even if we are just clouds of atoms and charge, then we are clouds of atoms and charge that will one day build a clownfish, or fall to earth as rain, or burn in a supernova. Point is, we’ll still be immortal.”
Immortal, huh. Ash thinks he might like that, if it means he’ll get to be by Eiji’s side for eternity.
---
In which Ash sees a photograph and has an epiphany, Eiji reads a monologue and is set free, and the creative process has a wonderful side effect.

Like a sponge, Eiji absorbed the pain and anguish from Ash’s mind, body, and soul. Eiji’s embrace said more than any words ever could.

You are strong.
You are whole.
You are loved.
I see you.
I am here.or: A story in which Eiji joins Blanca and Sing for the final show-down at the National Institute of Mental Health and finally convinces Ash to come to Japan with him, thus sparing him from Lao's attack.

Summary
“Forget-me-not. Our soul-flowers are called forget-me-nots.”
"…"
“Well, Ash? That’s a nice name, yes?”
Fuck yeah, it was a nice name. Ash was sure that ‘forget-me-not’ was the best thing Eiji had ever wrapped his voice around, right after ‘Ash.’ But the cynic in him did not stay down very long.
"Sounds like an ultimatum. Maybe even a threat, with the right tone."
“Well then, it seems I have the wrong tone. Because to me, it sounds like a promise. It sounds like a vow. Forget-me-not, my bitter poltergeist. Because I will remember you forever.”

Ash, bitter poltergeist and mender of broken hearts.
Eiji, wannabe restoration architect and resident flouter of the universe’s rules.

Summary
Packing boxes still littered corners. Newly purchased dryer sheets still clung to fresh laundry.
And fears still unfurled like the context of their palms, for Ash, unaccustomed to safety, struggled to keep himself afloat in the aftermath.
Summer rain could drown a body. “I think this,” he cracked, swallowing away the unsaid. “I think this is going to be the hard part, Eiji.”
A new house, two phonecalls, and the petals of a gift pressed between hardcovers: Ash and Eiji in the aftermath.

Summary
When Stede finds out Ed has never sat for a portrait, he requests that Lucius see to the matter.
The only problem? Lucius has spent the past several weeks claiming he can only draw nude figures, so he doesn't have to sketch Stede at every given opportunity. It's a lie, but a useful one, especially when so many handsome pirates are now willing to pose naked for him.
Including, apparently, Blackbeard.
Or: Ed poses for a portrait in the nude, and Lucius has to watch Stede go through a life-altering internal crisis, witness a frankly upsetting level of sexual tension, and deal with the most fidgety portrait subject ever. At least he gets to ogle Blackbeard while he's at it. For the sake of art. Obviously.

how to (not) fall in love with ash lynx — a list by okumura eiji by aalphard
Fandoms: Banana Fish (Anime & Manga)
02 Oct 2021

Summary
Now, Eiji can count on his hand five reasons to not fall in love with Ash Lynx. Of course, there are thousands of other reasons, but Eiji isn’t sure he wants to think about those, not when he’s found so many reasons as to why he should, not when he’s not even sure what it is that made him fall for fair hair and the infinities behind his eyes. There are always more reasons, his grandmother used to tell him, so be careful when you give yourself to love, Ei-chan. Be careful when you willingly hand out your heart, be careful if they don’t give you theirs back.
or: eiji knows he shouldn't fall for the wild lynx, but he does so anyway.

hindsight, love, and everything else unconditional by Honeyvalentine

Summary
Birthdays, birthdays, birthdays. Ash loves to be cute and adorable and quirky and not tell Shorter a single thing about his personal life or history, including the fucking day he was born.
“You’re perfect and I love you. I just wish you would’ve let me know sooner so I could’ve rented out the princess manor catering hall for your sweet sixteen.”

Summary
Ash just wanted Eiji Okumura’s attention.
He couldn’t justify it, couldn’t unravel the logic of why he always craved the older boy’s dark eyes on him. Ash had spent most of his life being the centre of the show; the disgusting old men in Golzine’s club, the patchwork of gang members who followed his every move like he was a messiah. Even simple passerby seemed to watch him like they were cataloging something glamorous, something other worldly.
He always hated the attention he drew, and yet—he would do anything for Eiji to look at him, to focus on him, to stay with him just a little bit longer.
[Ash's need and Eiji's unconditional love, in four snapshots.]

Summary
"He knew irrefutably that if Eiji left he would take something fundamental to Ash with him, and without that, what would be the point in living? He might as well have let Foxx finish him, if he was going to cop out now. No, Sing was right, the little brat, what the fuck would be the point if he didn’t go with Eiji? God, he was an idiot."
Or the fix it fic we all need. The alternate ending I cherish in my heart of hearts.

Summary
Perhaps somewhere in between all the cups of coffee, shots of tequila, sunny March days, terrible lumpy jumpers, love, cigarettes, drunken nights and the desire to change the world they'll all leave Paris with a degree in something. Or not. Grantaire's money is on no. But he's a pessimist who's hopelessly in love, so perhaps his opinion shouldn't count.

Summary
Enjolras’ views on romantic feelings for another person had been an oversimplification of something impossibly complicated, he would come to learn. He was used to his life running in loops, but this would be a break in the routine. He thought that maybe there was a chance Grantaire had been right all along and people really couldn’t adapt so easily.
(Alternatively: Enjolras more than absently wonders how Grantaire likes his eggs.)
