all i can do (is say that my arms were made for holding you) by honeyed_dagger (sarartist)
Fandoms: Banana Fish (Anime & Manga)
19 Dec 2018

Summary
“I told you how I was a pole vaulter back in Japan, right? When I used to do it, Ash— I felt like, I felt like—”
“Like you were flying,” Ash completes, a little breathlessly.
Watching Eiji’s figure suspended in the air, poised in a moment of unforeseeable recklessness, Ash thinks that he, too, can taste the drops of freedom on his tongue. He wants to protest, wants to tell him to stop, because this is so, so dangerous, but he can’t, he absolutely can’t— because who is he, a leopard ensnared in a deluge of snow, asking an unfettered bird to pause its flight?
or
Ash has always found solace in Eiji’s sunlit smile, sought comfort in his honeyed gaze.
But, what happens, when Eiji is the one falling apart?

Fandoms: Yuri!!! on Ice (Anime)
07 Dec 2021
Tags
Summary
All sorts of people come to Yuuri Katsuki’s small office on campus, mostly to ask for help with the syllabus, how to write a term paper, and all the other big and small things that come with the undergraduate experience. Everyone is a little lost every now and then.
Life could be so easy, were it not for the new, slightly older student named Victor that keeps coming to his open office hour and whose smile repeatedly makes Yuuri forget who he is.
In which Victor is a world-famous actor, looking for purpose, going back to university, and Yuuri Katsuki, Ph.D. student, is completely oblivious.

That Would Be Enough by theangryuniverse for lorelai_walker
Fandoms: Yuri!!! on Ice (Anime)
09 May 2021

Summary
The day the nomads arrive, Yuuri's life takes an unexpected turn.
For he has known Victor, or rather, of Victor, long before he had even first laid his eyes on him. He has known of his reputation, of his name, of his title, of his influence and power, just like everyone else. His knowledge had not made him any special, and it certainly has not prepared him for anything he faces now.
For what, truly, could it possibly be that the man that everyone calls the hokin sees in him?

Summary
“You can't retire,” Yuri interrupted fiercely, or, at least as fiercely as he could with tears pouring down his cheek and snot dripping from his nose, turning his face to glare up at Yuuri with red, puffy eyes.
(Yuri skated his heart out and he still didn't know if it would be enough.)

Summary
“I tried to get close to my dad too, I guess—but there was just never any room.” Ash curls into his shoulder fully—as if he could melt away and disappear.
Max squeezes him closer: he already knows how to be a dad, Ash is, for once in his life, inexperienced at something.
“Your father didn’t have a very big heart.”Bookmarked by desertreader

Summary
Since Ash doesn’t have any talent nor experience in dealing with Chinese food, the only sound explanation for this Friday night madness is that Shorter was really, really desperate for help.
The other explanation is found family™, but Ash is genre-savvy only when he has to navigate through conspiracy theories.

A Collaboration with ana__pudim on Twitter!
Here is a link to her work:
______________________________________________________________________________
"Where are you taking me, man?" Ash grumbled, his hand connecting with Eiji's as they walked down the street. They were both wearing jean cutoffs and oversized t-shirts they had found in Griff's closet, things he must have left behind when he went off to fight in Vietnam.
"Just wait, Ash," as they approached an alleyway, a fence separating the building and alley from a field, and a river on the far side of it. Eiji had decided not to blindfold Ash; he didn't want to make him panic, even if it could spoil the surprise a little bit.
"Oh, the river. There's a-" Ash jumped to explain, only for Eiji to interrupt with excitement himself.Bookmarked by desertreader

Journey to the Past: Cape Cod by daisiesandroses123

10 Oct 2024

Summary
He knew that Banana Fish, whatever it was, whatever was brewing with that project, or pill, or person, would be his ticket out. It had to be. And so here he was, back home, looking for any clues, any evidence in his past life shared with Griffin,. He was completely lost with no direction, frantically searching for what would take them onto the next step of this scavenger hunt for the truth that would set him free, or completely destroy him.
He couldn’t predict the future; all he knew was that this was his chance, and there wouldn’t be another one, to get out. He also knew that he was playing with fire, that he could be burned any second, and it could all fall apart in the blink of an eye.

Summary
Victor stops the car, turns off the engine, and Yuri rolls out the car with the attitude of every slightly inconvenienced teenager. Yuri flips his shades up, stares in disbelief at the sign in front of the well-manicured lawn squished between two old barber shops: DETROIT DENTAL AND ORTHODONTICS.
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me,” he says.
Or: Victor has a crush on his favorite shy, attractive dentist, and Yuri suffers.

Ash is seventeen, and he’s very, very sorry.

Summary
“Let’s see… ‘ma’ is the emptiness between all things. When you clap,” Eiji says, clapping three times, “you hear sounds and you hear nothing. Those moments of nothing are ‘ma.’ They are pauses—very important pauses. Without them, the sound is not as full. And the silence is not as empty.”
He rests his hand on top of Ash’s head. “Can you hear it, in my heartbeat?"

Summary
‘Ash watched as Eiji soared, clearing the first height with practiced ease. Eiji’s ability to become one with the sky had never ceased to amaze Ash; from that fateful day in New York where Eiji had risked further injury (and quite frankly, his life), to hours of gruelling practice, to flying at the Olympics.’
An AU in which Ash lives, Eiji’s injury doesn’t prevent him from competing, and COVID isn’t a thing (or at least, is contained enough for the Tokyo Olympics to allow accompanying guests).
