i'll never ask you for anything (except to dream sweet of me) by hellbend

Summary
Nayuta can’t remember when he started feeling at home among dead things. But it’s become all he knows recently. Every attempt at doing the right thing, the good thing, the brave thing has made him the cornered animal again, in need of saving. Kanata cannot be the hero every time and frankly, Nayuta is sick of his own victimhood. He is sick of waiting to be eaten alive.
An obituary of sorts. Grief and rage taste the same. It's easy to get lost on the way back home. Learn how to live, learn to do it well. The universe is a nonintentional entity. You know, the classic lessons of early adulthood. Kanata and Nayuta have the misfortune of learning it all the hard way.

wanting you is messy business by hellbend

Summary
At exactly 10.30 on Friday nights, Miyaji will arrive in exactly the same jacket and ripped jeans, and order exactly the same thing – an apple and cranberry float – and sit in exactly the same booth with an open laptop and scattered textbooks.
At exactly 10.30 p.m. on Friday nights, Hayama will abandon any remaining grief the week has given him and convince himself that he doesn’t spend the shift waiting for exactly this moment. He never really succeeds, but that doesn’t stop him from trying.
Hayama is oblivious and Miyaji is clumsy, which makes for very awkward confessions.

Summary
One version of him will always want to believe in his father. The other version has already lost faith, straying from his family the way one strays from their god. Turning his back on the rest of the world with a vengeance that sprung out in every direction, nursing a wretched need to break for good so that someone else could lick his wounds for once because he’d tired of tasting his own blood.
In the aftermath of the Winter tournament, Akashi is left with a lot to figure out. He'll realise he doesn't have to do it all alone.

Itaru struggles with being too much and Tsumugi struggles with being not enough. Growing up has been unkind to them but they learn to find the small mercies in life that make it worth living - whether in the rain, tea, or in each other.

Summary
The balcony can snugly hold two people. Iori leans against the railing, paint coming off in flecks under his palms, watching the city. It is less like a city than darkness interspersed by shapes of light: stationary in buildings, blinking overhead from planes, roaming on cars and people on their phones.
A city of this size has a way of making you feel lost. Boss had extended a warm, kind hand, reminding him of his worth, believing in it. And Yohei—
—is also leaning against the railing, and his presence dissipates any worded feelings Iori might have been considering. Makes them too real. So he doesn’t think about them, makes them quite literally unreal.
Iori slinks down to sit on the floor.

The Care and Keeping of Jean Moreau by TheRainbowElectric for KnightsOfSuns
Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic

Summary
Don’t panic. Call Kevin Day.
You have no idea what you’re getting into, making Jean Moreau a Trojan.
Jean has always been something of a black box. Whereas Riko Moriyama and Kevin Day spent so much of their childhoods at Evermore in the spotlight, the details of Jean Moreau’s personal life have been kept largely in the dark. In post-game interviews, he’s always blended into the monolith of Ravens standing behind Riko. But until Kevin called a couple weeks ago, you thought you at least had a general impression of Jean Moreau: an absolute nightmare of a backliner, with the ruthless ambition and arrogance expected of any Raven — especially one marked for Riko’s so-called Perfect Court.
The person waiting for you in baggage claim at LAX is like someone else entirely.
Do’s and don’ts for rehabilitating an ex-Raven, by Jeremy Knox.

Summary
“Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”
“Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.
“How do you know?”
Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.
That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.
“He has to know,” Andrew says.
“Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”
Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

Summary
I often have many A3! prompts enter my mind, but since I lack skill, I could never flesh out the ideas in a desirable way. Here, I will come from time to time to state these thoughts and if anyone is inspired enough to write them out, be my guest. All I ask is that you simply give me credit for the idea (tag me, I would love to read what you create!).
I will list the genres, characters, and ships I thought up with each one of these. Of course, you can always add more to these in any way you see fit. Thank you, I hope I am able to inspire someone.
