Vile: First Kiss
Set in an AU where Sigma was never infected with the Maverick Virus, newly-appointed B-rank Hunter, X, is stuck nursing a drink when he’s left alone at an event he normally wouldn’t be allowed into if not for Sigma in the first place. Well, alone isn’t quite the right word; but given that it’s Vile who’s sitting right next to him, surely it would be better if he pretended he was alone?Zero: ‘May I have this dance?’
Set in an AU where X never comes out of retirement in X7, things between him and Zero have reached a boiling point. While stuck preparing for an upcoming meeting with the government, Zero finally pays a visit to X… what will come out of this long awaited, tense confrontation?Gate: Sharing Clothes
Set in an AU where X continued to be a research assistant instead of a Hunter, and Gate was recruited to eventually take over Dr. Cain’s role before he could become an outcast, an accident at the Maverick HQ eventually results in X realizing that clothing matters even to reploids… but maybe not for the reason he could have ever seen coming.Series

Gate: Valentines’ Day
Set in an AU where the first Maverick war never broke, and Gate and Alia eventually joined the HQ after Gate was almost exiled, X somehow finds himself becoming the guinea pig for Alia’s new experiment… which goes so badly, he almost wants to deny her.

Reploids don’t sleep in the same sense humans do... or at least, most choose not to. Why would they when fast charging was available?

Warnings: Minor Character Death

Vile: Hanahaki AU

Prompts for the year of the OTP 2025 event, June.
Vile: Pride
“Is it not obvious?” Kuwanger asks, voice more than a little amused. “Pride in someone else. Must be a real shock to him.”
Yet, before X can even begin to wonder how that can apply to Vile—“Of course, that is currently being overshadowed by unyielding rage.” Kuwanger ex-vents as the sound of artillery going off cut off all other thought.
No Maverick Virus AU. As X is trying to find his place in Team 17 still, things between him and Vile continue to be… odd, to say the very least.Zero: “I can’t get you out of my mind.”
Human Zero AU. Zero Wily is lost in his life… trying to make a name from himself to make up for a past that isn’t his own, that no one even remembers or judges him for in the first place. Never quite figuring out why he cannot fix the emptiness in him.
Until Dr. Cain introduces him to something special. And his past becomes truly inescapable.Gate: Relationship Reveal
After months of dating, it is finally time to come out to everyone in their lives… or so does X insist. Gate would be fine with leaving things as is.
With each reveal, X is loathe to come around to his side.Series

Once he gets in-between them… wait, is that—?Vile: “I like my ___ how I like my coffee.”
