Summary
Langdon comes back from rehab with feverish eyes and a near-constant grimace. He's just as fidgety as ever, just as snarky, and just as competent, but he doesn't look Robby in the eyes. Robby returns the favor. The trust between them disintegrated as soon as he pushed Langdon out the door. As soon as Langdon decided not to tell Robby he was struggling. Neither of them know how to get it back.
Robby has to wonder though; if he'd tried harder to fix their relationship, maybe this wouldn't have happened.
Frank Langdon angst, based off the original character description that he overcame a 'devastating back injury' to become a doctor.

Summary
Nearly eight years after Ash’s death, Eiji has given up hope that he’ll ever be able to move on. He tried once, and it almost killed him. It’s been almost a decade, yet he still can’t shake the feeling that somehow Ash is out there watching him, judging him for even entertaining the thought of moving on. Now, with each passing day, he drifts dangerously closer to death’s beckoning call. Fortunately, Sing, who has become his closest friend, refuses to leave his side. Although Eiji appreciates his friend’s concern, he can’t help but wonder if Sing’s friendship is rooted in something deeper, something he can’t reciprocate.
“How’s he fairing this year?”
“Not good.”
“But better than last year, I assume?”
“Worse.”
“Surely, he couldn’t be worse.”
“He is. At least last year he was trying to be happy. This year… I haven’t seen him this bad in some time.”
“Does he have anyone?”
“He has Sing.”
“He always has Sing.”
“Well, what did you mean then?”
“Any lovers this year?”
“No one since last year. I’ve been watching.”

Summary
In Japan, Eiji fights an upward battle of pill bottles, broken relationships, and the bone-deep loss of losing his best friend (and secret first love). He struggles to navigate his life and struggles even more with letting go.
Meanwhile, a dead man roams the streets of New York City. Ash's revenge has only begun. Though his death had been faked, the sharp pain of lying to Eiji follows him as he continues to raze Golzine's empire to the ground. But once this was over, and the dust settled in Ash's wake, he'd go to Japan. He'd finally return to Eiji.
. . . .
[An alternate ending where Ash and Eiji get the second chance they deserve together]

Summary
When Eiji glances at himself, it is Ash's build that meets him, Ash's skin. Everything adds up, but ...
"How did you ... ?" Eiji manages, startled again at the sound of his—Ash's—voice.
"Just a little correction to the banana fish drug," Dino purrs. He places a hand on Eiji's face, palm enveloping his cheek, and Eiji tries to move away despite the restraints strapping him to the thin mattress. "Anything is possible with enough money and power. And you'll learn quickly that you don't have enough of either."
Money, maybe. But if this disgusting bastard thinks that Eiji has no power, he's drastically misjudged how much Ash means to him.
Ash gave himself up to Golzine, with no plans to escape. Eiji, though? Eiji's been planning to get Ash out since he disappeared.
And now he's on the inside. He can get Ash out easier than ever, now.
If there's one conclusion out of this situation so far, it's that Dino Golzine may have underestimated one Eiji Okumura.
While in Golzine's custody, Ash is injected with a variant of banana fish that causes the victim to swap bodies with the person who's most important to them.

Summary
Surely Jay was hearing things. That was all. It had been a long night, and he was finally within sight of his true love, the girl who had changed his life, who had meant more to him than the man in the trenches ever had. Stress, perhaps even delusions were natural responses. Poor Nick Carraway was just a stranger for him to project that stress upon.
This resolution was highly relieving. Jay breathed out shakily, regaining control over his facilities once more. That had certainly been a scare. But –
He looked up, directly into the bright green eyes of the man he had fucked during the Great War. Entirely of his own free will. Multiple times.
Or a Great Gatsby AU in which Nick and Gatsby *met* during the war and don’t dare bring it up when they reunite on West Egg. Awkwardness, misunderstandings, and humiliation ensue.
