Summary
There is a chain that tangles around them both, a chain they forged together somewhere in their past, and neither of them can quite stop tripping over it in the present.
Theron has questions that Asra refuses to answer. Julian has a bad habit of leaping to conclusions. Together, they... might save the world?
That is, if Theron can untangle the painful history between the two people he's fallen in love with.
[A full route for an OT3 romance between the Apprentice, Asra, and Julian.]

Summary
The nations of Valisthea go to great lengths to hide the identities of their Dominants. That is why no one suspects Joshua Rosfield, younger son of the Archduke and of famously frail constitution, of being the Phoenix.
And that is why he has no business conducting a clandestine affair with his rival in the skies, the Dominant of Bahamut.
With so much at stake for both of them if they are discovered, the last thing Joshua needs is to find himself compelled to accept an arranged marriage to a Crown Prince he's never met… especially when the Holy Empire has acquired a taste for treachery.

Summary
The last thing Cid expects to find when he sneaks into Drake's Head after the fall of Phoenix Gate is a crying child.
Let alone this specific crying child: Dion Lesage, Dominant of Bahamut.
Next thing Cid knows, the Mothercrystal has been destroyed (not by him), he's got a grieving 12-year-old prince on his hands, and he's hearing some very odd rumours about the Night of Flames. Rumours about who survived, and what was witnessed, and the reason it happened in the first place.
And Cid has never been someone who can leave well enough alone.

Summary
After being pulled from the rubble of Phoenix Gate by Imperial Knights and carried back to his mother half-dead, Joshua struggles with recovery, guilt, and doubt: everyone says he is wrong about what happened that night, wrong about the identity of those who murdered his father and brother.
Fortunately, Joshua has friends who will not abandon him, and allies in unexpected places, and he is far more reslient than he or anyone else expects.

Can't Make an Omelette (Without Breaking Clive's Brain) by Atalan
Fandoms: Final Fantasy XVI

Summary
It's really, definitely an egg, isn't it. Warm, too, like a stone that's been sitting in the fire. Clive doesn't touch it, but he can feel the heat radiating off it. It has a silvery sheen, shot through with whirls of gold and red that remind him of the Phoenix's feathers.
Yeah, Clive is going to have to have a talk with his little brother.
He'd really rather fight Ultima all over again.

Summary
Buckling under the pressure of holding Waloed back at Belenus Tor, Dion is irresistably drawn to a new healer who has joined the war camp under a shroud of mystery. But the more time he spends with "Margrace", the more he is inescapably reminded of someone from his past... and the more he questions the role he is expected to fulfill.
(AU where Joshua decides to approach Dion in 873 before the fall of Drake's Head.)

Rank 1: reluctant leader of the Phantom Thieves Akechi Goro meets a Very Annoying Celebrity and immediately resolves to destroy him.
Written for the ANTITHESIS fanzine.

Summary
Akechi has always known he’s cursed.
There are over thirty-five million people living in Tokyo. And yet, somehow, he’s looking right at Sumire Yoshizawa on the other side of the Scramble, and she’s staring back with the wide, shocked eyes of someone who’s seen a ghost.
Perhaps that isn't so far from the truth.
Goro Akechi is 1) alive, 2) adrift, and 3) back in the Metaverse for some fucking reason. All this Jail stuff seems like it ought to be Joker's job… but Joker isn't here. The Phantom Thieves are scattered to the winds. And now Yoshizawa knows he survived, there's a sentient AI living in his phone, and his life is rapidly spiralling out of control again.
Clearly, it's time to spread the chaos around.

Summary
Akechi Goro is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Akira thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
Kurusu Akira is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Goro thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
And after all, there’s no time like the present. Why make a vague promise to stay in touch when they could seize the moment right after their first meeting? Why not make the first move before their opponent even realises the match has started?
It’s not like spending the day together could somehow change the game completely...
(OR: Akira accidentally speedruns Akechi’s entire confidant track on the day they meet, and opens up some new options in the process.)

Summary
Akira turns down the charismatic, charming detective prince because he's already in love with the sharp-tongued, messy asshole he met online. Said detective prince/messy asshole has a small meltdown as a result. And then there is kissing.

Summary
Akira keeps seeing Akechi in the crowd. Akira keeps dreaming about Akechi. Akira’s pretty sure it’s not just his mind playing tricks on him. And he’s pretty sure that his would-be murderer and sort-of friend needs his help.
Even if that means diving into a lingering fragment of the Metaverse where Akechi is trapped in a hell of his own making. They say “abandon all hope”, don’t they? Akira has a lot of hope to go around, and he’s never known when to quit.

Summary
How does he choose which half of his heart to sacrifice? How does he choose who to save?
AU. Shido found Akechi before Akechi found him - and he has a hostage. Akechi's never had a choice about whether or not to follow his orders. Until now.

Summary
Sequel to "Instructions Not Included".
Two months after that whole business with Raphael's staff, Aziraphale and Crowley are about to be dragged back into the politics of Heaven and Hell whether they like it or not. An old enemy resurfaces to cause problems on purpose, they're hired to investigate a highly unusual missing persons case, and Crowley has a very bad day at the office.
Or: Crowley and Aziraphale run a supernatural detective agency. Shenanigans ensue. Slowburn continues. Apparently, there is plot. I have some thoughts about Heaven, Hell, and humanism. There will be stupid jokes and a healthy sprinkling of angst.

Summary

Fortunately, things aren't always what they seem when the Metaverse is involved.

Summary
Crowley's running low on inspiration for his sex blog. A night on the town seems like a good antidote. And then he meets an angel.
Written for the prompt "Diaries". Sometimes when inspiration strikes, you write 2000 words of poetic narrative, and sometimes... this happens.

Summary
Crowley's habit of subjecting Aziraphale to bad movie nights backfires spectacularly.
