A Story in the Shape of the World and You by ringtheory

Summary
What looks like a straight path to Alhaitham is to Kaveh a dreadful rotation.
Kaveh is trapped in an enclosed space with a strange creature who seems to know all the same words as him, yet with whom he cannot communicate. He has placed his life in the hands of this being and now sits in a frantic stillness, attempting to rationalize ex-post a decision that he is already committed to seeing through.
He reaches out in an attempt to break the silence. His hand is promptly smacked away from its destination.
“I don’t feel like listening to anything right now,” Alhaitham says.
Weakly, Kaveh replies, “It’s not normal to drive for so long in complete silence.”
“It’s not silent to me,” Alhaitham says. “I’m thinking.”

Summary
The difference between a labyrinth and a maze is that a labyrinth has one path but a maze has many.
Alhaitham is lying in front of him, breathing shallowly. Kaveh cannot tell if he is asleep or unconscious, but it probably doesn’t matter. He is lying in their bed or he is sinking into a pond filled with lotuses or he is on display like a statue on a bed of marble or he is trapped in the roots of Irminsul – or he is in all of these places at once because this is in Kaveh’s mind, and his head is bursting with the ways that Alhaitham could be lying before him.
Kaveh touches Alhaitham, not with his hands but with his eyes. He takes in the shape of Alhaitham’s body piece by piece, from the tips of his fingers up the slope of his arm towards the curve of his face. “Vision happens in the brain, not in the eyes,” he remembers Alhaitham telling him at some point in the past. It feels like the words are echoing around him, whispers layering over each other.
The wire that attaches to Alhaitham’s earpiece is pulsating; something fluorescent is flowing out of it. Kaveh is strangely convinced that Alhaitham’s mind is coming out of his head and that substance is full of temptation.

Summary
"So, what great building did our master architect work on this time?"
Nothing. Four days ago, Kaveh thought he would never work on anything again.
"Where were you when Sumeru needed you most?"
Dying.
(Or: the one where Kaveh was born with Eleazar)

Summary
Kaveh gets lost in the desert, goes into heat, and gets found by the one person who can't know what he is, or: Kaveh's No Good Very Bad Day.
“You’re not carrying me,” he says with a weak kick.
Alhaitham stops and lets his own legs take his full weight again; Kaveh’s ankle does something terrible for his self esteem and then he crumples almost to the sand before Alhaitham’s arm catches him again. One arm, because that’s all he needs to take Kaveh’s weight. He’s such a show off for a man whose ass never grew in. “Fuck’s sake,” Kaveh mutters to himself.
“You were saying?”
“Just—go.”
Alhaitham snorts. “Am I your servant now?”
“Yes,” Kaveh snarls.

A look at how other people can see Childe. Some violence/mild mentions of gore, a bit of feral. A bit of a 'and then they've been married for a while but only now are discussing their relationship' at the end.

Summary
“Akira?” he says. “Is that you?”
The child looks up at him. Even Goro has to admit he’s cute, with wide gray eyes and a head full of messy dark hair that curls at the nape of his neck. He sniffles and wipes his nose on his sleeve.
“Are you Robin Hood?” the child whispers.

Summary
In an attempt to get rid of a long standing crush, Akira avoids his best friend for a month to no avail. Akechi Goro does not take to the idea very well and resorts to petty methods to force Akira to hang out with him -
like insisting he needs help on a boring case involving a string of thefts he never had any intention of looking into.

Summary
Subtitled: "Murders and Feelings and Manipulation" or, "Persona 5 except everyone is a rotten adult now."
Akira is a vigilante with a military history. Along with Ryuji, his best friend since juvie, he assassinates deserving targets to help Futaba get revenge for her mother's murder.
Then he impulsively sends an unsolicited dick pic to the popular mystery novelist Goro Akechi—and Akechi replies. Akechi is secretive to the extreme, but to be fair, Akira is lying to him about everything, too.
Oh, and Prime Minister Masayoshi Shido is in his second term, and slowly turning the nation toward fascism.

Summary
Izuku leaves for America for six months; Shouto fights his way into the Top 5 Hero Rank, takes out Godzilla, reconnects with a criminal, adopts a cat, and has several belated emotional crises (not necessarily in that order). He might also be in love with Bakugou, but that's another problem altogether.
Izuku probably shouldn't leave him to his own devices anymore.

consider a universe where everything is exactly the same—except it's in australia, makoto and goro are university students studying australian contract law, ren and futaba are exchange students learning what it's like to live down undah, and actually nothing is even slightly the same at all, not even a little bit.
an incredibly niche fic commissioned by @oikvw on twitter (the absolute madman).

Summary
Goro Akechi walks across the creaking, dusty floor, disturbing an errant spider and disrupting a late sunbeam. For a moment he just looks at the figure on the bed, and then he exhales, walks to the unused chair in the corner. Brushes off the dust, moves it in front of the bed, facing Akira. Sits down. Watches.
(Akira sleeps. Akechi visits.)

Summary
Akira knows he’s fucked up when Akechi gives Morgana a very deliberate once-over and says, “That’s a funny-looking dog.”
“Come again?” he tries anyway.
“I said, your dog,” continues Akechi. “Pardon my French, but it looks gravely misshapen. What breed is it?”

Akechi briefly wonders if this man is a Hunter. They’d said all the proctors were, but — it’s hard to imagine a Hunter drinking from a juice box.
"Akechi-kun, do you know about Nen?"
HxH AU. A reimagining of the Yorknew City arc with Akechi as Kurapika and the Phantom Troupe as the Phantom Thieves.
