Summary
“Welcome home, Kara-chan.” Mitsutada’s lips gently brushed the back of his head, curving into a smile. Ookurikara hummed in response, but didn’t move, letting himself be drawn in closer, “How was work?”
“Fine.” He said, which they both knew meant shitty, so Mitsutada kissed the back of his head again.

Summary
"So…I’ve said it before, but thank you, Guardian.” Crow swallowed, then said aloud for the first time, “My Guardian. For everything.”
Allegro’s optics shuttered again, once, twice, the equivalent of a slow blink as their vocaliser made a long hiss of static.
“Don’t talk like that.” They finally spoke, and if Crow didn’t know better he’d say their voice was wavering, “It sounds like goodbye.”
“It’s not.”

Summary
Yusuke: If you don’t have any plans tomorrow, might I steal some of your time?
Yusuke: I have acquired a fascinating new tome on the wonders of art, and I have been saving the chance to devour it at my leisure.
Yusuke: Your attic is also much cooler than the dorms, which may save my creative senses from being smothered to death in this awful heat.

Distant though they be -
those springtime mountains rising
where haze fills the sky -
the fragrance of flowers in bloom
drifts in with the blowing breeze.

Summary
The sun’s descent had begun, though it would not disappear for some time yet, and Kuwana takes a moment to bask in the quiet - the frail leaves of the sprouts he had planted some weeks ago stretching like newborn hands towards the heavens as they swayed in the breeze, the ever-present whispers beneath his feet, the scent of freshly tilled earth that heralds the growth to come.
He wonders if this is also what Ookurikara hears, why he craves the silence.

Summary
“It’s not perfect.” Shu snapped in reply, sweeping large sheets of metal away from his workbench with a crash. His own digits dug into the edge of the flat surface, wings held high with agitation and fans whirring incessantly, and Rei dropped the marred metal immediately as he swooped forward. He took the unfamiliar-yet-familiar servo in his own, hovering by Shu’s shoulder, and dampened his vocal processor before he spoke.
“So few things in this world are.” There was a sound of static as Shu straightened his back, trying to still the quiver in his wings, “Is it not our place as outcasts to accept them anyway?”

Summary
If Kuwana listens, he can hear the joy of the soil at being tilled by Koryuu’s gentle hand, the way the things he cultivates yearn to grow under his practiced care, a joyous chime of things that thrive because they are beloved.
He hums along, because he likes Koryuu too.

keeping the sun up off our bones by strifescloud for SpaceGaysForDays

Summary
Ookurikara was almost the last one back, Sakakibara Yasumasa having held out for many years longer than the other retainers, outlived only by Honda Tadakatsu himself. Monoyoshi waited by the entrance on the day he was due to return, an odd sense of responsibility weighing heavily on his shoulders - it was his lord, after all, who was the centre of all this, and yet Torii Mototada had died years before.

Summary
“Those tanuki?” Sengo asked, lifting his head to watch Oodenta’s reaction. He received a slow nod in response, something oddly sad in the furrowing of the one visible brow.
“They won’t come close to me. I thought…”
Of course, Sengo thought, the great spiritual power of Oodenta Mitsuyo, so great that even the birds would fall from the sky as they passed overhead, overwhelmed by its energy. How tragic that it would follow him into humanity, driving nature away from him in fear.
The lonely set to Oodenta’s shoulders was uncomfortably familiar, though Sengo tried not to dwell on it.

That, Hachisuka thought with a resigned fondness, was Buzen Gou - always a few steps ahead of him, but he wanted nothing more than to try and keep up.

Summary
He wasn’t really sure what he was expecting, now very far into the sea of fan accounts, but when a description popped up with a link to what Itaru thought was a fanart site, claiming to be something about Summer’s Captain Sky’s Pirates and his own troupe’s A Clockwork Heart, he decided to dive a little deeper.
What greeted him, though, was not fanart, but a long wall of text.
Captain Sky docks at a port in a clockwork town, where he meets the lonely master alchemist, Boyd.
Itaru blinked at the screen.(Prompt: One of them finds fanfiction written about their characters, and it gives them Some Ideas - ideas that just won't leave them alone)

Summary
“Hibiki-kun? How curious,” Rei prods, leaning forward slightly, “has there been a problem?” The look Koga gives him is odd, brows furrowed, a hint of genuine concern beneath the rough anger he usually tried to wear.
“He’s your friend, right? Shouldn’t you know?” Koga shrugs, sitting on top of the amplifier he had dragged towards the centre of the room, “That nerdy guy was just worried he was overworking himself, that’s all. Ain’t none of my business.”

Summary
“There’s a spell cast over this school, you know,” Natsume continues, smile growing, “that we eccentrics might never know loneliness, that we can always find the aid we need.”
Rei opens his mouth to retort, but Wataru’s voice cuts across before he has a chance to speak.
“Oh, and it is one that is simply amazing!” He spins, hair flowing dramatically, still shining even in the dim light, “Can you guess its name? You helped cast this spell, after all.”
Rei thinks he knows this magic, its feeling across his shoulders and its formless weight in the air.

Summary
It’s an omamori, just like the one he had given Tsurumaru weeks ago, only this one is bizarrely, charmingly misshapen. The pale fabric gleams beneath the moonlight just as Tsurumaru does, and there is an odd lumpiness to it as Akashi turns it over in his hands.
He thinks, as something heavy lodges itself in his throat, that he can see Tsurumaru’s crooked, brilliant smile in every uneven stitch.
“It’s not as nice as the one you made me - but, you know, ever since then you keep getting hurt in all kinds of silly ways.”
[roughly sequel-ish to akame_no_youkai's lovely fic soft hands]

Summary
“It’s Cloud’s birthday and I want to bake him a cake.”
Genesis heard Zack laugh from the other chamber and rolled his eyes, feeling the beginnings of a headache coming on.
“Genesis,” Angeal began cautiously, staring at him with a look that was equally fond and baffled, “do you even know how to bake? Or cook anything at all?”
“I am a master mage,” Genesis sniffed haughtily, giving Zack a scathing look as he brought more books to Angeal’s desk, “the greatest materia scholar in this country - or any other, for that matter. I think I can figure out how to put flour and a few eggs together.”
[happy birthday, my dearest cloud!]

Summary
Vincent slips through his fingers like smoke - there one minute, a dry half-smile across the table at breakfast as Cid curses the slightly burning frypan, and gone the next, a whisper of red fabric disappearing out of the corner of his eye. He doesn’t ask where Vincent goes for those long hours while Cid buries himself in endless work, a whole new ship to build after the loss of the Highwind, and Vincent never says a word about his long absences.

Summary
“Sephiroth, I need your help. My body is continuing to degrade.”
Perhaps it is too much to ask a friend who Genesis had betrayed, abandoned, and now irreparably hurt - but it is his last hope, a prayer from one monstrosity to another for a damned salvation, two monsters wrought of Shinra’s hubris who were both more alone than they had ever been.

Summary
He really didn’t feel like doing anything, anyway, so he thought it was fine to stay - stay where Tsurumaru’s cool fingers can keep winding soothingly in his hair, and let his eyes slip shut as the sky darkened.

Summary
Genesis wonders if he’s allowed to covet the man who embodies the sun the way he does - wings stripped away, the skies out of reach, no wax to melt but nothing to stop him from hitting the ground.
