Summary
Fate and love. Prophecy and war. Awful and undeniable things. Kid knows them all. Though a ghost, he once held every shining piece of the brightest star in his hands. Herein, he reminisces:
“No longer can the blazing bronze sun sear my upward gazing eyes. No longer can my palm brush against old scars as fingers weave through my hair. No longer can my breath catch in anguish for he who kissed my cold lips, for he who cradled my stiff, ashen body, beckoning me to return to the dead thing—selfishly, desperately.
No longer.
Still, even without a mind, I remember.
And I will tell it again. I will tell what I can of this ill-fated life.”(The Song of Achilles, Iliad inspired AU)

Summary
Despite her many eyes, all Maka can see when she looks up at the starry skies of Death City is how Soul might have never known them again — how he might have died back in the Hole when that something cut him open, how it’d have been her fault if he did. So these days she spends her time trying to prove her strength — to her mother (a Devil), to herself (a sorcerer), and most importantly to Soul (a partner whose heart she intends to write her name on). But ahead of her lies more than just the chaos of her own guilt. As Maka circles the drain, she must also contend with a chainsaw wearing kingpin, a mad human doctor, and perhaps worst of all, Papa in Party-Mode™.
There’ll be smoke and sorcerers and shining blue bugs: that’s a Dorohedoro AU!

Summary
Soul sleeps in a city, green and growing. Soul sorts through dreams, visions, memories. Soul searches for the love (¡ambiguation!) of his [DIFFICULT TO DEFINE].
"He’s been a bard, a lab rat, a weapon. He’s been a pauper, a hero, a villain. He’s made friends and enemies with Death. All because an eon ago, he ate the soul of a cat. Apparently."

Summary
Some say that how you spend New Year's Eve indicates how the rest of your year pans out. What does it mean then, when Maka (an occasionally frustrated bookseller) and Soul (a sometimes famous actor) meet in an unlikely place on the night in question? What does the year hold in store for their burgeoning friendship?

Summary
Life is a violent place. The people of the Hole know this all too well; living in fear of Sorcerers and their often cruel magics. As a citizen of the Hole himself, Soul tries to get by. However, after a fateful encounter with a knife on a dirty street, Soul learns that he is not merely human, but a Sorcerer himself. Now, with danger and death on his tail, Soul must open a door to a new world, fleeing the only home he’s ever known. What lies on the other side of that door?
Devils! Starry skies! And a girl with green eyes! Hopefully, Soul will be able to survive it all.

Summary
After his death, Achilles finds himself in the underworld. Prepared to face his judgement and eternity, he marches into hell, only to learn that Patroclus never arrived. He sets up vigil outside the gates, and waits.
~/~
'Where is he?’ he demanded, his voice breaking against the colossal thrones like a wooden spear against the walls of Troy. The crowd stirred over his shoulder, whispers amongst ghosts, but Achilles paid them no mind.
‘And who do you speak of?’ asked Minos, the barbs of his lashing tongue catching Achilles’s skin, tearing what little remained unmarked. He turned his attention to the last of the judges, and spoke solely to Rhadamanthus.
‘Patroclus.’
