Nocturne for Three Bodies 🎹💦 by Namabiiru
Fandom: Katekyou Hitman Reborn | Rating: E | Wordcount: 14k
Complete Multi-Chapter

College AU. A shitty mood at a party, the sudden approach of questionable company, and Gokudera getting a lot more out of one night than he ever bargained for.

Or: after years of unrequited love for both his best friend and the piano, a math student discovers that maybe his life just needs an entirely new triangulation… in more ways than one.

Rec Note: Sometimes the best way to handle a character’s self-esteem issues is to hand him over to a pair of bloodthirsty men and letting them rail him until he remembers that he can want and have good things 😌

Young Luce spends her first years with no village, her only companions a mysterious white-haired man and a song she does not know the origins of. Both are steeped in death.

Or: When the balance of the world depends on the Chosen Seven not being tied to just one Flame type, the Sky is responsible for finding them in each of their respective villages and taking them to their new homes.

Rec Note: I’m so glad we’re all still so fucking normal about the Arcobaleno Curse XD The worldbuilding is just so *chef’s kiss* here

Tsuna and his guardians have different moral standards. He knew this. He just wasn’t expecting it from Chrome.

Or: organ harvesting, sticking it to the big pharma and also nut crimes. That last one did not involve bodies, promise.

Rec Note: We love and support Chrome and her wrongs that are really only barely wrongs really, just good resource management <3

[Achilles
Achilles
Achilles come down, won't you
Get up off
Get up off the roof ?]

Takeshi's mask cracks at the seams. It doesn't take much for him to fall for good, a broken arm from excessive practice as a passable alibi for him to throw everything away. For a short while, he is free. The wind in hishair, the ugliness of his truth for the world to see, the void, a step away, calling him...

And then, rather than the void, there is an outstretched hand and a frank gaze.

[How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above]

Rec Note: This is such a good study of Yamamoto, and the way the song lyrics are woven in throughout the fic is just beautiful

“Our destinies are intertwined,” Stelle eventually murmurs, their mind stirring to life. “Yours, and mine. That’s what he told us.”

Rec Note: This was so beautiful and lovely and sweet, and then the angst just hits you like a train 😭😭

The need to not text by Ota1612
Fandom: Honkai: Star Rail | Rating: G | Wordcount: 2.2k
Complete One-Shot

Dan Heng closes his eyes and tries to focus on his breathing. Enough time has passed that he's adapted a few tiny rituals to get him through his fellow Trailblazer's more vexing trains of logic. Now is beginning to feel like one of those times.

“Why,” he asks, stressing the word as much as his sense of politeness allows, “does you not wanting to text them have anything to do with waiting for someone to text you?”

Stelle pouts at him.

Rec Note: Kicking my feet and giggling over this. Also someone give Dan Heng and Blade a treat for dealing with their resident disasters XD

Kafka thinks that maybe Stelle lashing out at her, for all the unanswered questions and all the times she's left her, might be just what she needs on her conscience. To get what she deserves. To attest to the crimes she's committed for Elio.

But out of all of them, the most violent crime she committed, is falling in love with destiny's delinquent.

(Or, Kafka misses Stelle. A lot.)

Rec Note: I could wrap myself up in this fic and in Kafka's love for Stelle like it's a warm and fluffy blanket <3
