Brooklyn Baby by suffragettecity(41k)

Front-man Ash Lynx goes from coast to coast with his bohemian band. Photographer Eiji Okumura goes from journalist to groupie with his newfound freedom.

Your Best American Boy by suffragettecity(57k)

Cherry popsicles, bummed cigarettes, wrinkled photographs and shirtless nights. The summer a Japanese tourist moves in across the street, and an American boy falls in love through the fire-escapes.

Dusk till Dawn by equinoctial(97k)

“Alright. But you stay safe okay? I mean-” Eiji immediately regretted his reflexive reply to a goodbye. This wasn’t just your ordinary stranger, this was probably a powerful wizard for crying out loud.

But instead of an awkward laugh, the wizard settled with a gentle smile, the kind that reached his eyes and made the mystifying jade more brilliant than ever.

“Thanks. You stay safe too,” and with that, the wizard hopped off the balcony and vanished into the crowd below.

---

In which Eiji gets cursed into a ghost, the kingdom wages war on its neighbours, and the devil wizard Ash Lynx roams the wastelands while striking fear into the strongest of hearts.

But of course, fate would see the seemingly heartless wizard fall in love with a heart that had so much to give.

of sugar cookies and chocolate puddings by kybelles(3k)

Eiji first meets Ash on a gloomy sunday afternoon.

After a little silence, the door is slowly opened by someone Eiji doesn’t notice at first. When he lowers his eyes a little, however, his gaze meets with a pair of bright green eyes. He takes a little step back, taking the appearance of the blonde kid who’s standing in front him. The suspicious scowl on his face softens a little when his eyes catch the plate in Eiji’s hands but he keeps holding his guard.

“Um…” Eiji begins hesitantly.

“What do you want?” the boy asks with a challenging face.

“M-my mom sent this.” he stammers finally, pushing the plate forward a little clumsily.

be my mirror, my sword and shield by kybelles(15k)

Ash Lynx finds the love of his life on a quiet night after he trips on sidewalk and harshly bumps his face against it when he exits from library.

Ash lets out a long-suffering sigh and prepares to take out his phone when he hears a sharp inhale and feels someone approaching him in a hurry. He defensively turns towards the noise but freezes like a deer caught in the headlights.

There’s guy in front of him who’s looking at Ash with concern and the sight of him literally makes Ash’s heart flutter like it’s never done before. He has the softest looking black hair Ash’s ever seen and for a crazy moment, Ash feels an irrepressible urge to run his hand through it. The guy’s already big dark eyes grow impossibly bigger when they land on Ash’s bruised cheek.

“Oh my god!” he shrieks in an adorable manner. “Are you okay?”

“You must be an angel.” Ash blurts before he can stop himself.

Sacrifice by signpainter1(33k)

Ash, the Sun God asks for only one thing; a daily sacrifice of wheat to help him maintained the fields. When war threatens the country, they turn from a wheat sacrifice to a human one. People are brought to the capital including the man Ash loves the most, Eiji Okumura. Ash has to find a way to prevent Eiji from dying which is hard when humans only hear only what they want to hear.

The One With the Vampires by TurnUps(99k)

Eiji Okumura has travelled to New York state because a Count Golzine is paying him an awful lot of money to take some pictures of his house. It doesn't take long for him to find out that he's the intended prey for creatures of the night.

But he instead to save the mysterious Ash, Golzine's supposed son, as well as himself.

*

Ash put his hand over the boy's mouth. Kept him pushed against the wall.

"Listen to me." His voice came out as a growl - a monster's voice. "If you go up to the Golzine Estate, then you won't come back down. With or without the money, you won't see a cent of it. That man - that - thing - he lives to trap pretty boys like you into his web, and he'll gobble you up before you realise you're stuck. Go. Home."

The boy didn't struggle. A rabbit who knew it had been caught in a snare. Dark eyes stared at him - wide. Maybe that meant he was finally seeing sense.

His lips were parted, under Ash's palm. He became away of that. Warm skin and warmer breath. A familiar feeling reared its head in his stomach. A hunger.

No. He could not save this boy from Golzine's clutches just so that he would fall prey to his own.

Uncharted Waters by midnitewrites(148k)

A routine day on the water is turned on its head when fisherman Eiji Okumura spots a strange creature in his fishing net. His excitement quickly morphs into disbelief when he realizes that what he caught is no fish: it’s a mermaid, beautiful and deadly—and, as he soon learns, gravely injured.

Desperate to save them, Eiji spirits the mermaid away to his home and nurses them back to health in his bathtub. As they recover, he learns more about them and their situation: their name is Ash; they can’t hope to survive without a fin to replace the one they lost; and in a year’s time, their pod will once again return to the bay where Eiji first found them.

Together, Eiji and his friends devise a plan to rehabilitate Ash and reunite them with their pod. Yet as Ash gains strength, so, too, do the bonds they forge, and the prospect of saying goodbye becomes far more difficult than any of them bargained for.

Bed of Roses by TurnUps(103k)

Eiji had been watching the boy for the last three dances.

Well, he had been watching, but not watching. Every time the boy’s gaze came anywhere near him, he stared back down at the table, hoping that he hadn’t been caught.

It was the boy’s hair that had caught his eye at first. Yellow – somewhere between yellow and white. He’d never seen hair that colour before. Didn’t know it was possible for real people to have hair that colour. It was as though there was a miniature sun around his head. As if he was a candle, with its own flame.

The flame flickered in his eyes too. Green eyes – he’d rarely seen them, either – and none quite as vibrant a green as his. They sparkled like emeralds, above flashing white teeth. His waistcoat had a hint of green to it, that brought them out all the more.

*

Western/Cowboy/Young Guns AU! Eiji has travelled to America with Ibe because of fishy business with the mayor of a small town. Ash runs a group called the Regulators after the same thing.

And in That Light, I Saw You by ohrange(125k)

After a traumatic experience renders Eiji unable to attend school, Ibe suggests taking some time off to work as his photography assistant at an agency in New York. Eiji takes to the idea well enough, but doesn’t expect to get involved into investigating a sex-trafficking ring… something that Ash, a model at the agency, has been secretly keeping evidence of for years.

[In which Ash is a model with a dark past no one dares to question, and Eiji is a design student who escapes from Japan only to be met with the same thing he wants to forget.]

Rewrite the Stars by Hamliet(58k)

When exchange student Eiji Okumura arrives at his American high school for a year abroad, his worries about fitting in and earning As are quickly swept aside when he meets Ash Lynx, a genius rumored to have spent time in juvie last year. Between Ash, his friends Shorter and Sing, and the mysterious younger brother of the school's principal, Eiji finds himself drawn into a power struggle that he realizes is more familiar than he thought. High School AU... (like, where they're actually in school + there's a chance of healing).

Ain't it like thunder under earth by Snow_Falls(11k)

'Alex clarified, when again it seemed like Ash wouldn’t reply. “Whoever goes with the boss has to spend some time fooling around with him.”

“Who is going with Ash?” Eiji had to ask.

There was a significant pause. The boys looked at Eiji and away.'

Fake dating, then real dating, with the mildest of heists thrown in for flavour.

[selfetishizing]

rumor has it that professor callenreese is seeing professor okumura of the art department on the dl??? my fucking god! these bitches gay! good for them! good for them!

[chaoslynx]

Hey hey! So for the prompt asks, how bout hugs #4 "comforting hugs" with AshEiji! Love me some comfort hugs fluff - 🦉🦉

"It's okay," Ash whispers to him. "You're okay."

But he's not, and it's not. It's not okay, because Eiji ... Eiji is supposed to be strong, for Ash's sake. Eiji's trauma, or—whatever—it's nothing compared to what Ash went through, isn't it? So why ... ? Why the nightmares, and—why does he still ... ?

"I'm sorry!" Eiji cries. He wraps his arms around himself. He wants Ash, he wants Ash to hug him and hold him and tell him that everything is going to be okay. But how could he possibly ask that of him? Eiji doesn't deserve this stupid fucking role reversal, only it's worse, because when Ash needs help there's a reason for it. When Eiji needs help, it's just ... pathetic.

"You have nothing to apologize for," Ash says gently. "What do you need right now?"

You, Eiji thinks miserably. I need you. But he can't possibly say that. How many others have needed Ash, in one way or another? How is Eiji any different?

So instead, Eiji just whines, "I don't know."

"That's okay!" Ash promises. "You don't have to know. I'm here to help you figure it out, okay?"

I'm here, Ash says, and he is—even when he shouldn't be. Even when he should leave Eiji to cry and figure everything out on his own, because Ash has enough to deal with, and has had enough to deal with for years, and Eiji is just ...

Selfish.

He's selfish, because instead of protesting, he nods.

"You're okay, love. It's okay," Ash murmurs.

Oh. Love, Ash calls him. He doesn't use pet names often, so every time he does, it's just ... Eiji doesn't know how to explain it, but here, now, it manages to break through some of the guilt and panic enveloping his mind.

Guilt.

What a strange emotion.

Eiji's felt a lot of it.

"I love you," Eiji whimpers. "Is that okay?"

Ash seems startled for a moment, but then his expression softens. "Of course that's okay. And I love you too. Oh, love. My love. Come here. May I hold you?"

Eiji nods, broken and pathetic. "Please," he mumbles as he crawls into Ash's arms.

Ash wraps his arms around Eiji. He's stronger than he used to be, and he feels just as secure as he always has. Eiji feels safe in his arms.

"Thank you," Eiji says. It comes out a little strained, but he thinks—hopes—knows—that Ash understands.

Rocking the two of them back and forth a little, Ash drops his head down to Eiji's shoulder. Almost like he's as happy to hold Eiji as Eiji is to be held by him. "Anything for you."

"I would—you know?" Eiji blurts. "I would do anything for you."

"I know," Ash says. "I believe you." He kisses the top of Eiji's head. "But the nice thing is ... we don't have to anymore. That anything, it can be—when you cook me breakfast in bed, or when I hold you like this. It doesn't have to be either of us running headfirst into danger. Not anymore."

It takes a second for those words to sink in. Sometimes Ash doesn't say things directly, though Eiji isn't sure if it's intentional or not. But he somehow manages to always say exactly what Eiji needs to hear, anyway.

We're safe, Ash is saying now. We're safe.

"We're safe," Eiji echoes.

Ash nods against his shoulder. "We're safe."

Touches prompt game!

also i fucking love my pfp, asheiji my beloved <3

ok imma got sleep now

[browngurl99]

I was about to say that Ash and Eiji are the only Allos I respect but then I was like "What if Demisexual Ash and Demiromantic Eiji? 🤨"

[iceywrites]

Hi! I'm back again. neck kisses for Shorasheiji -Aria

Tw - slight NSFW. Like kissing and stuff. Nothing actually happens but the idea is suggested.

Eiji removes his specs and rubs his eyes. Just how much time has he spent staring at the screen? Every part of his body is tired but he'll be damned if he joins his boyfriends before reviewing the pictures.

Ash was bone tired too since it was exam season and he had to bare the doubts of stressed out students for the entire day. Shorter said that the crowd in Chang Dai had reduced but they received a hell lot of delivery orders to compensate for that. Eiji was covering a wedding today.

He stretches his neck from side to side and considers completing his work tomorrow but determined conscience takes over and keeps him glued to the stool attached to the kitchen aisle.

He sighs and stresses his eyes a little more.

"Eiji?" Shorter calls from their bedroom.

"Hmm?"

"Are you going to sleep anytime soon?" Shorter asks, walking towards him.

"After I'm done with this."

Shorter kisses his neck and rests his chin on Eiji's shoulder, fitting his hands on the side of the stool to support his weight. "Aren't you tired?"

"I should be but I'm not." Eiji opens the next image. Two brides with their hands twined smile back at him. "They were a cute couple." Shorter hums in confirmation and he turns to face his partner and kisses his jaw. "Aren't you? Tired?"

"I'm more bored than tired." He answers, taking his spot next to Eiji. "Would you maybe indulge me in something?" He asks wiggling his brows.

Eiji grins and kisses his cheek. "No. As you can see, I'm busy."

"How long are you going to work?" Shorter whines.

"Is Ash sleeping?"

Shorter sighs when Eiji doesn't bother shifting his gaze from his laptop to him. "He slept the moment his body touched the bed. Must be really tired." Eiji hums and Shorter states at him. "At times like these, I feel like what Ash says is not wrong."

"What?"

"That you only reserve your love for Buddy."

Eiji chuckles. "You are both idiots. And absolutely right." He says, blowing a kiss in Shorter's direction.

Shorter waits for about two minutes - resting his cheek on Eiji's arm, staring at the screen - before resuming his whining again. "Eiji! You have a good amount of time before sending these to the couple." Eiji just hums. Rolling his eyes, Shorter blocks Eiji's view by placing his hand on the screen. "Save your work."

"Why?"

"Because I'm going to pull off the charger and then you'll lose your edited image and you'll have to do it again and you'll hate me for that but I would've already done that so it won't matter."

"What kind of threat is that?"

Shorter just shrugs. Eiji glares fondly before saving his work.

Shorter doesn't believe in patience. As soon as he gets the hint that he won't have to share Eiji's attention with the screen, he begins kissing his way up his lover's arm to his jaw.

Eiji giggles when Shorter's lips find a particular spot on his neck. He turns his head away to give more access. "At least wait for me." He says as he shuts down his laptop and places his specs beside it.

Eiji gets up from the stool, pulling up Shorter with him. He stand on his toes, kissing the taller man with all the vigor that he had been storing in himself ever since he sat down to review the photographs. With Shorter's hand twined in his hair, caressing the nape of his neck, kissing him as if he was drinking his favorite alcoholic beverage, he hardly had any attention to spare for other worldly things. That is until, the edge of the kitchen counter digs into his rear.

"Wait. Not here."

"Why?" Shorter asks, placing his hands on the counter beside Eiji's hips. Eiji has prohibited them from fucking on the counter at least a million times but just like any other time, he hopes that his boyfriend will change his mind.

"Because, sometimes, we eat here."

"Yeah. Itadakimasu."

Eiji gasps before giggling as Shorter teasingly bites the junction between his jaw and neck. "No!"

Shorter pleads with his eyes one last time - to which Eiji shakes his head - before sweeping his lover in his arms and marching towards the bedroom.

Eiji laughs, swinging his arms around Shorter's neck while the latter returns the gesture. But there, on the bed, Ash has spread his arms and legs like a starfish. There's a fond feeling bubbling in his chest, and he knows Shorter is feeling the same as he gently helps Eiji on his feet.

They both also know that Ash is pretending to sleep. While Eiji silently admires his lover, Shorter decides that he absolutely must do something about the starfish on the bed.

"He looks so innocent. I just have to-"

"Shorter, no!" Eiji warns as Shorter pounces on the bed. Ash was quick to save himself by pulling in his arms and legs. Shorter laughs as Ash mutters something colorful at him.

"Sorry, did we wake you?" Eiji asks, slipping into blanket beside Ash. The latter rests his hand on Eiji's waist as he blinks open his eyes.

"Not you, Shorter's very loud whining did." Eiji smiles as he kisses Ash. "And feel free to carry on. I'm too tired to join in."

"We suddenly decided that cuddling with you was more fun." Shorter answers for them.

"Makes me feel guilty."

"Wish you'd feel so guilty when you feed scraps of your food to Buddy under the table." Eiji accusingly narrows his eyes.

"I am not the only one who does that!"

"Anyways, when does your break start?"

"In a week."

"Well then, let's not have sex till the weekend." Eiji excitedly announces his scheme. "Or better yet, let's not even kiss each other till the weekend. Like, um, penance? What do you say?" He already knows the answer.

Ash and Shorter stare at him like he's gone nuts. Eiji purses in his lips to keep his smile at bay.

"No!" They answer in unison, incredulously. They even kiss each other to express their opposition. "No!"

"Fine then, I'll do it alone. No kisses from me and nobody kisses me." He turns to his side to hide his smile.

"What the fuck?" Is Shorter's descriptive response.

"I will literally die - oh wait, is he laughing? Really Eiji?" Ash pulls him towards himself so that Eiji's back is pressed against Ash's chest.

"Whatever, I'm kissing him first." Shorter announces as he tries to crawl over Ash.

"Try me."

I Met My Soulmate at Starbucks by scarletvisionforever(4k)

“Why the hell do you want a drink like this?” Ash asked before he could stop himself. Blanca would’ve slapped him upside the head for being so rude. However, Ash believed that given the circumstances, the question was completely called for. Because who the hell wanted this much crap in their drink?

It's the stupidest hat Ash has ever seen. Who would even buy something that tacky? It's ugly and ridiculous and so, so dumb. What a waste of money.

God dammit.

the half life of what we become by StarSailorDen(14k)

Ash just wanted Eiji Okumura’s attention.

He couldn’t justify it, couldn’t unravel the logic of why he always craved the older boy’s dark eyes on him. Ash had spent most of his life being the centre of the show; the disgusting old men in Golzine’s club, the patchwork of gang members who followed his every move like he was a messiah. Even simple passerby seemed to watch him like they were cataloging something glamorous, something other worldly.

He always hated the attention he drew, and yet—he would do anything for Eiji to look at him, to focus on him, to stay with him just a little bit longer.

[Ash's need and Eiji's unconditional love, in four snapshots.]

cinnamon and spice by kybelles(6k)

Helping Yut-Lung and Sing as they organize the 15th year anniversary party of Max Glenreed and Jessica Randy could be fun for Eiji.

If only he didn't sleep with the famous couple's adopted son Ash a week ago.

Hours later, as they’re lazily cuddling on the bed after a shared hot shower, Ash speaks against Eiji’s heart. “I have a confession to make.”

Eiji’s fingers still on Ash’s hair for a moment and Ash curses himself. Without a doubt, hearing something like this from the person you’ve just slept with must be a little concerning. But Eiji just continues petting his hair. “Yes?”

“…I wasn’t planning on having dinner at the hotel restaurant tonight,” Ash says apologetically. “But you caught my eyes just as I was leaving and I… I couldn’t stop myself from wanting to talk to you.”

“We don't say the H-word in this household.”

“Heck? Hell? Hfuc-”

“No that's not it,” Ash spared a quick glance to his husband innocently cooking up some noodles, huffing and puffing as he tiptoed to get the spices from the top cupboard, even though the stepping stool was right there--

cool cool cool cool no doubt no doubt by equinoctial(2k)

Oh. Oh. That did it. Ash had absolutely zero tolerance for insults involving his beloved husband. Let it be known that he was highly allergic to Eiji-related bullshit.

Surprisingly, the next scathing comment wasn't from Ash.

He blinked owlishly at the girl in the oversized jacket as she engaged in verbal combat-- with the old grumpy neighbour two times her height no less. It was like a little round baby penguin squawking at a ruffled flamingo. Needless to say, Ash was really impressed with the newcomer.

Precocious college sophomore Aslan 'just Ash' Callenreese has a problem, several, actually.

Meanwhile, athletic failure but infectious optimist Eiji Okumura is starting over, he's snagged a great part-time job as a barista, he finally has time to focus on his course and life is looking up! At least, it should. He just has to get through this year and everything will click into place. It should. It has to.

sanguine prospects by ihavenomorals(1k)

“I look…” Ash frowns. “Odd.”

There’s a small strand of hair that’s fallen from behind Ash’s ear, like spun gold in the sunlight. Eiji reaches out, slowly - but not hesitating, not any more - and tucks it back into place. His knuckle brushes Ash’s temple, a quiet hollow of worship.

“You look beautiful.” Eiji sits back. “You always do.” Ethereal would also be an apt word.

Ash smirks. “Eiji, are you flirting with me?”

“I would hope you know that.” Eiji steals back his camera. “Considering how long we’ve been together.”

“Is that what this is?” Ash looks aghast. “And here I thought we were only very good friends-”

1986 by bathandbodyworks(15k)

It’s 1986.

It’s hot, vaguely humid, and New York seems less full of life than ever, especially as Dino continues to control Ash’s every move.

But there’s a new boy, staying at the same hotel as him, with a funny accent and wide, brown eyes, and Ash is starting to think he might be a little cute.

who needs stars? we've got a roof by selfetish(17k)

Ash closes his eyes. Years of waiting culminate in weightless dust, soon to be swept away by the living. This earthen smell will fade. It will be overtaken by home-cooked meals and citron peels. Silence will forsake to Sunday radio static and the slow turnings of a page. Behind curtains, it’ll be the push and pull of their noses as they love each other sore, cutting into the pristine sheet of white starlight.

Slowly, they’ll imprint this house until it has become theirs. Ash waits for that day.

Or, the steps to remedy a fragile soul.

come be lonely with me by StarSailorDen(10k)

“Oh,” a soft voice to his right startled. Ash drew in a sharp breath as he turned to catch the silhouette of a man at the end of the aisle, backlit by the window and washed in the same radiant auburn of the setting sun that cast the stacks so warmly. “Sorry.”

miso soup for the soul by selfetish(7k)

Ash Lynx was the sort of cool that oozed Schlitz and lemon-lime seltzers. Was the sort of rad that left Tootsie wrappers and denim under the soles of his Converse wherever he stepped. He was as smart as an apple in the way that he was both street and pillow fluent, and that he didn’t need to rely on his trigger fingers to rip and tear. Was cruel, calculating. Always on target. Always one shot, one kill. He was Ashie on the weekends, Aslan Jade behind closed doors. He was as bitter as sumatra beans, sweet as molasses once you got to know him physically, emotionally, spiritually.

To many, Ash Lynx was a conniving bastard. Tortured genius. Stone cold fox.

To Eiji, boyish.

“I love it when you look at me like that.”

Eiji jumps up, clutching his blanket as he scans the room for the source. The branches keep tapping against the window, and all the lights in his house are off. No one should be awake besides him. He hides under the covers, clutching the pillow tighter as he hears the creaking sound again.

It gets closer and closer, until he can hear someone by his bed, breathing heavily. Eiji closes his eyes and tries to keep his breathing steady. Maybe it'll just leave if he stays still.

"The door was open." the voice says in a hush and raspy tone. It sounds like they're trying to stay quiet yet at the same time can't help the quietness of their own voice. Eiji stays still.
