Summary
Freelance photographer Eiji Okumura unexpectedly attracts the attention of a local superhero and, with it, equal shares of wonderment and trouble. He'd be happier about the change if not for the amount of evil monologues he's had to sit through.
Like, there are so many.

Summary
🖼️ Illustrated fanfiction 🖼️
Ash Lynx, a foreign student in Tokyo, sought peace when he crossed the ocean, but the nightmares and memories that haunt him have followed, leaving him restless and aimless.
Across the city, Okumura Eiji, the reluctant heir to a powerful yakuza empire, gazes over Tokyo from the rooftop of his father’s building. He feels the suffocating weight of duty, wondering how much longer he can pretend in a world that feels so wrong.
When Ash crosses paths with Shorter Wong, the eccentric leader of a Chinese gang, he’s drawn into a different side of Tokyo—a world brimming with danger, alliances, and the unexpected rush of feeling alive.

Summary
It’s been 3 years since Ivan quit the band to pursue a solo career, and now he has no choice but to tour with his former bandmates after their newest album goes viral.
It's just too bad that their lead singer still really hates him.
Or, Ivan navigates the trials and tribulations of becoming friends with benefits with his ex-boyfriend (surprisingly, being in love with him after all this time makes it all the more challenging).

Summary
There should be confrontation, rolling tears, sand caught between the cracks of their smiles. There should be answers handed out like festival candy, treasured and sweet -- there’s a perfectly good reason as to why Ash faked his own death, and he’d tell Eiji, and Eiji would let his anger dissipate like the muddy shore beneath their soles. They’d be happy. They’d be relieved.
There should be more than what is given.
“What was the reason this time?”
The past is a fleeting little thing; even Orpheus looked back.

Summary
In his first life, L died in the arms of his greatest enemy.
In his brief second one, he died alone.
And in his third, too-long life, L died anticipating finally getting even with the man who'd won their game one too many times.
And Light Yagami? If he'd known this is what picking up the Death Note would bring....well, he'd probably still have done it anyway.
