Summary

Summary
As if for the first time, Rei looked around at the family photos, the gleaming kitchen, the colorful dishtowels in easy grabbing range in case Akai needed swatting. The calendar on the wall was covered in little notations: mediocre, forgettable things, like briefings and dentist appointments—and unforgettable things, like Hiro’s birthday, the first year he’d been able to write it in. And at the end of the month, parents’ weekend at Shinichi’s college.
Sometimes Rei looked around and had to shake himself, almost didn’t know whose life this was. He’d always figured the only thing waiting for him was a body bag. But the Organization was gone. His deep cover assignment was over. And he was sitting here with Akai Shuichi’s head in his lap, not even wrestling with the temptation to strangle him. Or no more than usual, anyway.
***
A glimpse of the future for Rei, Akai, and Shinichi's lives after the fall of the Organization. Moving forward, but forever a family. Mission 110.

Summary
“Shinichi had a bit of an unexpected reaction to the latest antidote…” Dr. Araide was saying.
“Cut the platitudes. Just put Shinichi on the phone,” Rei snapped. And then froze as he heard, unmistakably, the sound of a baby gurgling.
He could feel Araide wincing. “Maybe I’d better send a photo.”
*
After a mistake with the APTX antidote, Shinichi gets stuck as a seven-month-old infant. Rei and Akai, unwisely, decide they can handle that. Mission 110 spinoff.

Summary
“He’s not really gone. Right?”
There was this vicious, ragged thing inside of Rei, something he was barely holding down. Maybe it was his heart, clawing to get out. He raked a hand through his messy hair.
“People die, Shinichi. And when they do, they don't come back.”
*
An old enemy of Akai's resurfaces. Akai makes a bad mistake. In the aftermath, Shinichi tries to fix things, and Rei tries to decide what he wants - and what he's willing to risk for it.

Summary
"When they first met, Akai never would have imagined Rei could make an expression like that: soft and fond and completely in love, his whole world spinning around a boy in turquoise rainboots."

Summary
"Every member of the Ton wanted to be at this party. Though Rei’s reasons were a little different than most. Unlike all the other men and women hoping to use their beauty or skills to move up in class, to secure their family’s fortunes—or, for the really deluded, to find true love—Rei hadn’t made his debut seeking marriage. He’d only come looking for one thing."
On the hunt for missing child Kudou Shinichi, fiery newcomer Furuya Rei throws himself into London's high society marriage market. All he needs is a mark—someone with enough clout to get him into every party. Someone like the notorious playboy, Duke Akai Shuichi, who for some reason seems to be going along with it.
Falling in love wasn’t part of the plan. But it's so much harder than he expected—not falling for Akai.

Summary
"Being dead isn’t exactly like Sun Ce expected. For one thing, he’s still pretty much himself—still walks the streets of Wu’s capital city and blinks the sunshine out of his eyes and listens to the sounds of the empire at work, cartwheels turning and merchants shouting and soldiers marching under a frayed red flag. For another, he still spends most of his time hanging off of Zhou Yu’s shoulder, trying to make him smile."
Sun Ce navigates the ten years after his own death at Zhou Yu's side, trying to find all the ways they still touch.

Summary
Shinichi hunched in, pulling his legs up so he could wrap his arms around his knees. “I was there when she died. Akemi. I was holding her hand.”
Rei’s heart stopped. “Oh, Shinichi.”
A tragic case reminds Shinichi of another loss he witnessed, long ago. It's Akai's turn to lay a ghost to rest.

Summary
“Sure that shoulder’s up for a match?” Akai asked, stepping in close enough to trail his fingers down the healing skin. Rei shivered—but it was cold in here. Akai kept his touch maddeningly slow, tracing fire down his forearm. “We could stretch out—limber you up first.”
Rei lifted his chin. “Trust me, I’m more than capable of putting you on your back.”
Akai chuckled, eyes twinkling. “Is that where you want me?”
Or: Akai and Rei put the last piece in place.

Summary
“It wasn’t fair. All Rei wanted to do was spend Christmas with his adorable kid—preferably without any kidnappings or bomb threats this year. So why was he stuck in an unending Christmas romcom with Akai Shuichi of all people?”
Tired of watching Rei and Akai dance around each other, Shinichi decides it’s time for a little push. All’s fair in love and war.

Summary
"Since his first day at Tokyo Metropolitan General Hospital, Rei had known two things. That there was something unusual about Kudou Shinichi, the boy in room 1102, under the long-term care of cardio fellow Akai Shuichi. And that it was fundamentally screwed up to keep a teenager with a rare blood type and a life-threatening chronic heart condition in a hospital that had natural disasters, bomb scares, and serial killers more often than board meetings."
Just a short AU for Rei, Akai, and Shinichi, becoming a family in another lifetime.

Summary
“Rei could probably use a little space tomorrow," Akai told him. "It’s…an anniversary.”
Shinichi knew that. He’d seen the date marked in UV pen on the calendar, the letters so tight they were almost illegible. The anniversary of a death—Morofushi Hiromitsu, a.k.a. Scotch. “Are you sure he wants space?”
Akai hesitated. “Well…I’m sure he doesn’t want anything to do with me.”
The first anniversary of Scotch's death since moving in together. Rei's not sure he's suffering enough.

Summary
"Sometimes Akai thought, with the right training, Shinichi could be one of the best intelligence agents in the world. But right now, tying off the gauze around his tiny bandaged hand, he thought Rei was probably right. He didn’t want Shinichi to follow in their footsteps—not even walk in the same direction."
A small accident for Shinichi brings back a host of bad memories for Rei and drives a rift into the family. With Rei teetering on the edge and Shinichi pulling away, Akai tries to help Rei through it, even if that help is anything but welcome.

Summary
"Rei knew what post-traumatic insomnia was. He’d had it a few times. But this wasn’t that. He was just having a little trouble sleeping—and if the nights he had trouble sleeping happened to coincide with nights when he dreamt about pulling Shinichi’s corpse out of the snow, his lips blue with cyanosis and his tiny limbs heavy and still, that was probably Akai’s fault for turning the thermostat down to subterranean temperatures."
After Shinichi's caught in an avalanche, Rei wrestles with nightmares of losing someone again - and with not wanting Akai's help, even if he needs it.

Summary
“Zugzwang. It was a chess term, one that described an endgame situation of massive disadvantage. A single move that changed the outcome of the game from a win to a loss. Rei didn’t know what Shinichi meant by that. But it couldn’t be good.”
When a case goes wrong and Conan is kidnapped, Akai and Rei work to unravel his clues and get him back in one piece. But there’s much more at stake than it first appears, and the tension pushes Rei and Akai to the brink of fracture. And Conan’s determined to bring down the White Rabbit criminal syndicate—even if it costs his life.
Luckily, he’s got two people who will never let that happen.

Summary
"It had seemed so clinical on paper: Amuro and Subaru fall in love and take guardianship of Edogawa Conan. Three people who didn’t exist reinvented into a perfect suburban family. In one stroke, Akai’s cover got more credibility, Rei got some much-needed backup, and Shinichi got to be himself again for the most part, with someone qualified finally watching his back. But there was nothing clinical about actually living together."
After a close call, Akai, Rei, and Shinichi take their undercover game up a level, reinventing their alternate identities into a family of convenience. And then become something a lot more irreplaceable than that.

Summary
"Rei was one of the few people in the world who knew who Shinichi really was. Also one of the few people who had more lies to keep track of than he did."
On a rough day, Conan finds a friend waiting for him in Poirot, and a brief moment to be himself. It all starts with a lie about sandwiches.
