  3. Summary

    A slight twist on the ever popular Actors AU - the shows will be written in-character, too, and can be treated as its own pocket AU.

    Originally conceived as a way to group together all 25 wildly different tropes I received for the r/Fanfiction TV Tropes Bingo, with the following categories selected: Action/Adventure, Horror, Supernatural, Romance, Fantasy, Angst/Whump.

    The bingo card with all the tropes sorted by fic: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/799782285699186718/840029110000287744/Bingo.jpg

    Summary

    Subaru and Seishirou keep on a yearly tradition of spending Hanami together in Ueno park, basically cosplaying as normal people for one day a year. They follow unspoken rules: no mention of Hokuto or their prospective jobs, no personal contact outside that time and place.

    Summary

    "Are you here to visit Michael?" the driver asked him.
    To be honest, Isagi was used to people linking him with Kaiser—speculations and fantasies about the nature of their relationship were endless—but that didn’t mean he was willing to answer a stranger’s question honestly.

    Kaiser got himself injured, and Isagi flew to Mardrid. After years of rupture, maybe it didn't require a miracle for the ice to melt.

    Summary

    There is a very fine line between a hot summer day, the sort meant for picnicking and beaches, and the kind that jellifies every muscle and sinew in the human body. The sort where sitting before an oscillating fan, nose pressed up against the grille, the breeze upon your chest makes you lament the growing heat at your back. Yuuji, wearing nothing but shorts and a film of sweat, had been preoccupied as such for over an hour.

    ‘Megumi?’ he asked, voice distorted and robotic through the puttering of the fan.

    ‘Mh?’

    ‘It’s too hot.’

    ‘Mh.’

    = = ☼ = =

    Itadori, Megumi and Nobara try to make the most of the height of Japanese summer. There's no telling if it might be their last.

    Summary

    Ness put down his phone and looked around his apartment. Their apartment, actually; officially, the lease was in his name, but Kaiser and Isagi had gravitated towards it over the years. Old battlefields were scattered all across it—the tasteful Japanese flower arrangements Isagi had set up next to Kaiser’s extravagant, giant Ming-era vase; velvet curtains clashing with delicate light blue blinds, and of course, in pride of place, a jumble of trophies and medals and Man Of The Match awards. It was almost impossible to understand who owned which.
