    Summary

    "Our brains are designed in such a way to hold so much, and yet we forget all the time. Slipping out of our consciousness. Dissolving into pieces. But do they really disappear? Or are they hiding in some unknown crevice of our minds, waiting to be brought back to life?"

    Summary

    PROMPT 92: "I want you to be happy."

    ~

    It was Rui’s third year of middle school when he was asked to see a therapist.

    Rui Kamishiro sat stiffly in the waiting room chair, hands tucked neatly into the sleeves of his school blazer. The cushions were too soft; he kept sinking into them, and every time he did, he sat up straighter, as if good posture could somehow shield him from how exposed he felt. His eyes wandered—not because he was curious, but because staring at the floor made his thoughts echo too loudly.

    He tugged lightly on one of the loose threads at his cuff. Why am I even here?

    It wasn’t like anything was wrong. At least… not in a way he knew how to explain.

    ​Teachers said he seemed withdrawn. His parents said he seemed distant. His classmates didn’t say anything to him at all.

    And Rui wasn’t sure if he wanted them to.

    ~

    Rui once stepped into Satsuki’s office unsure, guarded, and painfully alone. Now, at his last appointment, he returns with the three people who have changed his life more than he ever expected.

    Summary

    Rui hasn't talked to his best friend for around 7 years. They're both more successful, more skilled, and more alone.

    So, when Rui gets the opportunity to reconnect, he gladly takes it — but there may be more than meets the eye on why his friend is more talented than before. Rui takes the deep dive to try and understand, but he may be going deeper than the light has reached before.

    A Tsukasa7-inspired fanfic aiming to explore the idea of what would happen if nobody ever told Tsukasa Tenma to stop.

    Summary

    “What a difference three minutes makes,” Subaru mutters, massaging his temple. “My brain trembles. Hey, Reinhard, what’s wrong?”
     
    Reinhard stares up at him. Subaru looks alive. He looks fine. He’s not bloody or writhing or wane or dead. He’s just standing there, looking at Reinhard awkwardly and scratching his arm. He looks concerned, even. He doesn’t look like he’s looking at a monster.

    [Divine Protection of Insolence], Reinhard had felt.

    Reinhard looks up. It’s a bit before noon.

    Is it not the greatest insolence to go against fate itself?

    Reinhard has another chance. He has another chance to save Subaru.

    Chapter 1 can be read as a standalone. No spoilers in either chapters for anime-onlies.

    Summary

    Three lonely artists found each other thanks to their love of music and everything related to it. It seems as if they had created a place where they can finally belong together, yet their struggles resurface once more when they are faced with a creative block of a magnitude unlike anything they have ever fought before. Determined to defeat it, each group member for their own reasons, the trio's bond and desire to overcome their personal issues grows stronger than they could have imagined with the unexpected help of a beloved Vocaloid.

    Summary

    He lets out a hum. But it does not feel like a hum of approval to her; it's almost like he doubts her answer. As he reaches for a bag of donut holes again (the same ones that she wanted), his eyes dart to the side to look at her.

    It was not a gaze of just noticing her. He was looking through her.

    The hum, the look; he saw right through her own facade and into the vacant plane that was her own feelings.

    She felt sick.

    Summary

    It all started at the Shibuya Festa, where Rui met a girl who seemed eerily similar to his past self. She passes through his mind once in a while, and every few weeks he wonders how she's doing. Emu hasn't brought her up much since then, so he assumed she was doing well.

    It all started at the Shibuya Festa, where Mafuyu met a boy who claimed to relate to her feelings. He had met her for the first time that day, and though it was her slip-up that let him see the true side of her, he still claimed to know how she felt. She wonders, briefly, as she watches Kanade click at her keyboard and squint at her monitor, how he would react if he could see her now.

    Her question is somewhat answered only hours later, when she sees him again, down the aisle at the convenience store.

    Should we be fated to part, should we be fated to lose one another,

    I pray we may be reunited in the end each and every time.

Of a beautiful princess with a well-hidden secret, and the knight who had slain a thousand and one dragons for her sake. Of magic most foul, and a witch filled with hatred."

    "I recorded my part for the new demo," Mafuyu said suddenly, raising her head. "May I use your computer to access it?"

    Kanade froze, hand on the doorknob.

    "We- we don't have to talk about Nightcord stuff now, I mean-"

    "I want to."

    Mafuyu stared into Kanade's eyes.

    "I- yeah. My computer is already signed into, so just… wait, your phone is broken? How did you manage to access the demo?" Kanade asked, moving to sit in her chair.

    Summary

    "Basically, there are two major scenarios to consider." Rui lifted up a single finger. "Is the switch physical? Meaning, are you left in your own body, but have changed positions in life? Or is it your soul - that is to say, the core memories and experiences that define you - swapping places with the other?"

    "Wow, you really thought about it that deeply, huh," Tsukasa muttered to himself.

    "We can answer both versions, then! So, Rui-kun, who would you spiritually switch places with?"

    Rui finally paused in his thought process. Truth be told, the type of switch didn't quite matter to him, nor did the many nuances he had considered. In the end, he had a single, unchanging answer.

    Summary

    Subaru has died time and time again. Except this time was a particularly bad one.

    Bad enough where he can’t pull himself together.

    Bad enough that the Great Spirit Beatrice needs to step in.

     

    Okay, so if it wasn’t obvious this is a Re:Zero fanfic! I’ve loved Re:Zero for a really long time and I honestly don’t know what the fic sphere is like in this fandom, but I need to scratch an itch so I'm writing this. I got inspired by what’s going on in season 4, but I don’t plan for this fic to have season 4 spoilers. But there will be spoilers for season 1, 2, and 3 (up to arc 5)! So be warned!
    And just heads up, the context behind this is a made up scenario. This did NOT canonically happen in Re:Zero, although I wouldn’t be surprised if Tappei cooked up something like this someday

    Summary

    After the Shie Hassaikai's involvement at Kamino Ward, things have changed drastic ways. All for One is dead, and someone must fill the void he left behind. While people scramble to grab power in the vacuum, something is brewing where most heroes do not tread: heroes are working with yakuza, the yakuza are making moves unheard of since the rise of All Might, and ahead, the enemy known as the Hero Public Safety Commission awaits them both.

    The Caretaker of the Shie Hassaikai will certainly have a lot he must care for in the days to come.

    Summary

    “Taking care of somebody else made me feel good. Like discovering you’re more than you thought you were. More even than you hoped to be.” - Bette Greene

    In another world, Chisaki Kai is a ruthless, cruel man who stops at nothing to rid the world of quirks. In this one, however, he draws lines: one being Eri. He cares for her, treats her like his own daughter. And for his precious daughter, he needs somebody to help care for her, somebody who isn’t one of the Eight Bullets or a member of the Yakuza.

    Enter one Midoriya Izuku: quirkless, protective, and the perfect candidate to be her babysitter. Now if only Chisaki could just stop worrying about the boy, too, that would be great. (No, Chronostasis, he does not have ‘paternal instincts,’ thank you very much!)

    Or: Midoriya Izuku (accidentally) turns the Yakuza into the good morally grey guys.
