Summary
"This place is a dump," Gojyo said, looking around.
He wasn't wrong. The unmistakable smell of mould curled through the rooms. The floorboards creaked and groaned under every step. The kitchen had been ransacked. Every pot and pan and plate—some of them still containing dried crusts of what had once presumably been food—had been pulled from the tables and cupboards and onto the floor. Clothes were flung about the bedroom; they lay collapsed on the rotting rugs like dead bodies, all covered in dust.
The owner, Mr Chan, stood next to Hakkai. He had a sooty black mole on his bald head. It wasn't a youkai mark. "The last people left in a hurry. I couldn't find any one to rent during the—bad time." He darted his gaze away from Hakkai and fixed it on the mess on the floor.
"It'll take a lot of cleaning," Hakkai said. "I like it."

Summary
Hakkai is weird.
This, Gojyo feels, is something that people tend to forget. Even Sanzo seems to take Hakkai at face value more often than not, and Hakkai's face always shows the same value. Gojyo knows better.

Someone comes looking for Gojyo. He's about four feet tall with red hair and red eyes, and Gojyo has no idea what to do with him.

Summary
Gojyo turns into a girl. Sanzo turns into a panda. For those not familiar with Ranma, this is essentially genderswitch fic that uses Ranma 1/2's premise as an excuse. None of the characters from Ranma are in it.

Summary
“C’mon, it’s a long drive. Give me something to work with.”
Felix pauses, then unpurses his lips to say, “I’m not fun, I don’t like to talk, and I didn’t ask to be here.”
“You’re shortchanging me.” Sylvain smiles. It’s a lot of smiling for just under an hour. Maybe he’s not used to company anymore. “I knew that last one already.”
—
Sylvain, a trucker, takes Felix on as a reluctant passenger. They figure out their destination en route.

Summary
Why would someone go to the trouble of breaking in and then take nothing? What could the key mean, that leaving it here would justify such a sophisticated B&E? Just a message? Is the key a symbol? I don't need this to get in. I can get to you whenever I like.
“You look like you haven't slept,” Kanji notes.
“I'm fine,” Naoto says.
--
a mysterious key turns up in naoto's apartment, but there's no need to worry. he's a detective. he'll solve this, all on his own.
(or: the transition from a me to an us: a guide for the fiercely independent.)

Summary
How do you ask this sort of thing? Kanji tries to articulate hey if you're a guy do you still like guys or is it girls or some other thing somehow and is it related or is that a separate deal, fumbles this halfway out his mouth, and somehow comes out with, “Do you have, uh, feelings?”
“What?” Naoto asks, too befuddled to even look offended.
--
so naoto's a girl, and kanji's a boy. that means it's fine if he asks her up to the roof, right? wait he hasn't even confessed yet why does she suddenly look so uncomfortable
(or: naoto investigates the mystery of the missing gender with the help of his trusty watson, being kanji, who didn't know he was a watson.)

Summary
Yosuke doesn't even really register the stack of boxes in Yu’s arms until Yu clears his throat.
“Yosuke,” he says quietly. And then Yosuke sees the neat labels stickered on the sides, the carefully taped edges, that the apartment is starting to look a little emptier. “I'm moving out.”--
left alone in the apartment they'd shared, yosuke finds himself at a loss. there's some fundamental truth he's missing about his life, and he's pretty sure it just moved back to inaba with his partner.
(or: yosuke hanamura, time to face yourself for the second time.)

Summary
The young acolyte learns three things about Astarion very quickly.
Firstly, he’s not a cleric—if there’s such a thing as the opposite of a cleric, Astarion is probably that.
Secondly, he knows a startling number of Ilmatari clerics anyway. He claims Brother Kycus owes him money.
Thirdly, and perhaps most pertinently, he knows how to pick a lock.
“That’s the value of an independent contractor,” he says breezily, tinkering with a back-alley door. “Your Revered Mother is a practical sort. Likes to use the tools she has.”
(Or: Astarion romanced a cleric. After, they live in the space between absolutes.)

Summary
What Laudna wants: a little cottage somewhere, a flower garden. She wants to try keeping chickens, because she thinks it would be wonderful to have fresh eggs and it would be fun to break their necks. She wants Imogen there; she wants Imogen’s boots by the door, Imogen’s loose hairs trod into all the carpets. She wants carpets. She doesn’t want Imogen’s feet to get cold.
But this isn’t that world. Instead they are here, and Imogen is General Temult, and the gods are picked-clean bones, and the only person Laudna loves is on this side of the door, and everyone else is outside.

In which Delilah and her boyfriend go grave-robbing.

Summary
Gelvaan looks so small from up here. Less a town and more a series of toys scattered over green carpet. It seems so unbearably breakable. When Imogen looks at it, her teeth ache; her stomach aches; her entire body aches. She feels Predathos pressing against her mind. Like a tumor. The way it pushes up against her skull.
Don’t think of it as a tumor, that’s what Laudna had said. Her cold fingers touching Imogen’s temples. Think of it as your brain getting bigger. That helps me, when I get too frightened. And she’d smiled.
