Summary
While gathering information to write a paper on devils disguised as buildings, Asa Mitaka is trapped inside a devil disguised as a building. How ironic. And it’s just her luck that she’s stuck with Denji of all people.
Unfortunately for them, this devil is nothing like the Eternity Devil or the House Devil. It’s much much worse. The devil digs up their worst memories. But what purpose does it have showing Asa Denji's past? Or showing Denji Asa's past? What does it want? What is it doing? Maybe the answer is at the end of the hallway. The question is, how many doors will they have to walk through to get there?

Summary
“We’re all just going to die in the end so what's the point?” Asa’s throat does that funny thing again— where it clogs up with something so thick and bitter that her voice starts to waver. She remembers her mother’s smile when she first wore that new school uniform, Bucky’s cheerful clucks around her classmates and Yuko at her door, a pair of ragged shoes dangling from her fingers.
When Asa speaks again, she hopes her voice doesn’t break like the cracks webbing through her heart.
“Doesn’t it make you wanna give up?”
The aquarium date is imperfectly perfect, in a messed up devil-infested way of course.

Inspired by a twitter post and a short fan comic I saw on Instagram. I hope you enjoy what could have been! This is basically: What if Denji looked out the window like the eager boy he was?

Summary
An infuriated cry from the girl pulls Denji out of his own head and gives him the push he needs to do what he needs to. His eyes never leave the girl as he takes a step forward and asks, hoarse and breathless, "Is that...?"
The girl freezes. Then her eyes snap up to Denji, a pair of bright yellow and orange crosses that he knows better than he knows his own.
Denji's heart stops.
"Power...?" he whispers.

Or; Makima isn't the only one who is reincarnated as a child. Denji may be biting off more than he can chew.

Summary
Reze sometime longed for a life without the pin. A world where she could go to school. Normalcy. That was impossible. Still, being at Crossroads was the closest thing that she would probably ever have to that. Though, the owner was sort of... strange. No matter. All she needed was to retrieve the Chainsaw Heart.
Reze didn't know that she and her target were trapped in a deadly web.

Summary
Denji wanted to run away with a girl who killed him. Or, well, he wanted to run away with someone who loved him. Liked him. Denji would have rather stayed in the city, but it wasn’t safe—that was true—and Reze said she liked him with or without the chainsaw coming out of his head. This might be a betrayal to Miss Makima, and maybe to the top-knot, and maybe even to Power—but Denji wanted to feel the butterflies from before. He wanted to pull more flowers from his mouth if it meant Reze would smile even the tiniest smile. So, here they were.
(or: denji and reze manage to get halfway across japan. it’s almost far enough.)

Summary
Denji and Asa share a fragile, ordinary life they've built together, working under Public Safety, doing their best to balance work, their relationship, and raising Nayuta in their quiet Tokyo apartment. But things take a sudden turn when someone from Denji's past, someone he thought he would never see again, appears at his front door one rainy night, stirring up old feelings and unresolved memories he thought he had finally managed to move on from.

Summary
She faintly realized how easily Denji could outrun her.
He was faster, of course. His longer legs could sprint the stairs two at a time while she had to push a little harder to keep up. But he didn’t pull ahead. Instead, he remained patiently by her side. He kept a steady pace with her, seemingly unfazed by the thought of being late to class. It was his decision to stay with her, even when he didn’t have to.
An unfamiliar flutter stirred beneath her ribcage.
She hadn’t expected to feel this strange warmth— this subtle swell of something deep within her chest. Her cheeks flushed pink and a fond smile tugged her glossy lips.
Sillage (noun) (the French word for "wake", the trail left by a boat in water)/(perfume), the scent that one leaves behind, the signature which everyone remembers.

Summary
The door creaked something fierce as it opened. Cold air grazed Denji’s face. He truly didn’t know what to expect behind it, but even so, he couldn’t possibly have been less prepared for who stood in front of him.
A petite girl he’d never seen before. She looked to be around his age, but a few inches shorter than him. Dark, burgundy hair messily draped past her shoulders, with bangs that almost obscured her eyes.
The eyes. Those eyes. Red ringed, with irises of pure gold. His jaw fell slack, his heart pounded. He would recognize them anywhere, but… it couldn’t be. Right?
The third Control Devil shows up at Denji's doorstep.

Summary
Fresh from his date with Makima, Denji finds himself torn. On one hand, his life has improved more than he could have ever imagined: Aki is beginning to warm up to him, Power hasn't tried to kill him this week, and working under Makima was like a dream come true! However, despite all of this, he still finds himself plagued by doubts. Does he have a heart? Can he love anyone? Could anyone love him?
It was just meant to be another mission for Reze, a simple undercover operation to ensnare and capture the Public Safety rookie with a devil for a heart. What she didn't expect was to find her self enjoying the mundane life of a waitress and, increasingly, the company of the boy who was meant to be her target. The flirting is still all just an act... right?As their happy routine rapidly hurtles towards conflict, both Denji and Reze will be left at a crossroads with tough choices ahead. Though maybe it can take just one decision to change a bleak future?

Summary
Reze decided to board that fateful train. It was to become the greatest regret of her life.
Returning only a few days later, she finds a Tokyo — and Denji — much different to the one she left. Armed only with her own wits, and a fragile truce with fellow human weapon Quanxi, Reze must learn to navigate this new life, and protect those she begins to care for. Not least from what the Soviet Union will send to bring her back...
An exploration of Reze and Quanxi's characters in Part 2, with some DenReze for good measure.

Summary
The steering wheel cracked and moaned beneath the pressure she applied to it. “Goddammit," Reze cursed. "Damn it all. Why make me betray my heart of my own will and give a chance on love?”
Her fuse was smothered by Conquest leaning further forward and slipping her hands over the girls' own. “Because Reze, I already told you,” Makima whispered in her ear. “I’m a country mouse too. So, will you do it?
"Will you cast Denji into hell with me?”
------
In one life, the tale of Reze and Denji's love is cut short; a budding rose callously snipped by hands whose ambitions threaten the whole world. In one life, Reze never had a chance to be human.
This is not that life.
Or; a tragic end instead becomes a tragic continuance.

Summary
It was almost closing time. She was wiping the table when she heard the bell to the entrance chime. Her back was turned not seeing who the customer was, she forgot to flip the sign board damn it!
She wiped her hands on her apron and turned around.
"I'm sorry but we are about to close. I just forgot to flip--"
She dropped the rag and spray bottle. Her heart stopped, does she even have one? Of course you do, her brain thought. You had fallen for this idiot in front of you.
Not knowing how to react. It can't be,
she thought.
How did he-"Reze..."
As Denji entered the shop, holding a bouquet of flowers. Same as the ones he gave her in that phonebooth thought these ones looked like they got tired from the way here.

Summary
Still bearing the scars from his time with Public Safety, Denji tries his hardest to get used to taking care of eight animals and a reincarnated Control Devil while also figuring out what the hell he was supposed to do when not keeping his brain too busy to think about everything he’s gone through the past year or so by killing devils or by working minimum wage.
Still bearing the scars from her time with the Soviet Union, Reze tries her hardest to get used to begrudgingly working as a devil hunter for a wounded Public Safety desperate for personnel while also figuring out what the hell she was supposed to do when tossed into general society out of ‘good behavior’ as if she wasn’t one of the worst monsters on payroll.
They meet again, somewhere in the middle.
Or: Bomb, Chainsaw, and getting used to mundanity.
