these pale and hungry scavengers by kay_cricketed

Summary: While they're in Cape Code, Ash navigates the loss of his brother and learns something new about Eiji. (And somewhere, somehow, perhaps Griffin Callenreese considers this to be the most fitting eulogy he could have asked for: some poetry, and that these two should meet and leave things such as boundaries to continents.)

Relationships: Asheiji

CW: Grief/Mourning, Implied Child Abuse

My thoughts: This is one of my faves. It may not completely align with Fly Boy, but it still considers Eiji’s life before he left Japan, and I eat that shit right up. And it’s both Ash and Eiji angst, so double-whammy on my feels. It’s so beautifully written, in that slow, contemplative way, and I love the setting, early morning on the beach--it feels secluded and personal. It’s a small moment between them, like the moments they have in canon, and it feels both very real and very separate from canon--almost surreal, I suppose. Great one; y’all go check it out.

Summary: 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.... but Eiji would love it. God dammit.

Relationships: Asheiji

CW: None

My thoughts: I love angst, but the show has so much already that it really is a relief all the fluffy fics that are out there. I mean...... “Think of the devil, and he shall text you five heart emojis” where else are you going to get such quality stupidly adorable shit? This is the exact kind of stuff that makes my heart go all big and squishy. Ew. How dare. I love it. They’re so domestic in this fic, which wasn’t something I cared too much for until this fandom, but now it’s all I want for these two and this fic is so On Point with it. Come get your fluffy asheijis and read this one.

Summary: There’s a cat on Ash’s fire escape. (In which a cat adopts Ash instead of the other way around, Eiji is much too selfless for his own good, and certain confessions happen along the way.)

Relationships: Asheiji

CW: Overworking, Stress, Illness, Cat Scratch

My thoughts: One of the tags on this fic is: “eiji works too hard and ash puts a cat on him” which I believe sums it up Quite nicely. This fic,,,, is So Pure. Ash suddenly has a cat, and that’s a whole journey. Their characterization is exactly on point too: banter and snark and softness all wrapped up nicely. I am so fond for this fic bc it’s cat shenanigans and sweetness. Maybe I’m a simple bitch. Throw some cute asheijis my way and I’ll cry at your feet forever. But, eh, sometimes we’re all simple bitches. This fic hit all the greatness and you all should check it out. 

walking on a dream by kybelles

Summary: Ash and Eiji welcome an addition to their little family one night. “Look, I think you and I need to have a conversation.” Ash tells him in a serious tone, petting his ears with both hands. Buddy almost looks like he’s going to burst from enjoyment. “Are you trying to steal my husband from me? Because, I get it, Eiji’s the most lovable person on Earth. But I feel like you’re forgetting that he’s my husband.” Buddy lies down on the floor for a belly rub. Ash sighs, giving him what he wants. “Buddy, please. I’d appreciate if you could take this conversation more seriously. You’re being disrespectful now.”

Relationships: Asheiji

CW: Recovery, Trauma, Illness

My thoughts: Ash lives and Eiji still gets Buddy, so this post-BF fic has the best of both worlds. Watching Ash be jealous of this puppy is absolutely adorable and hilarious. Honestly, this is what they freaking deserved. I probably say that to all fix-its in this fandom, but the fans really treat these boys better than canon so I’ll stand by saying that to every fix-it. Not everything is up and fixed, which makes it realistic. That trauma, it takes recovery. But they also get a happily ever after and that’s all I’ve ever wanted for these boys. A happily ever after with Buddy bc he’s one of the best parts of GoL.

Summary: "For someone who had the same smarts as Einstein and the reflexes of a professional hitman, Ash Lynx could be a real dumbass." – Eiji Callenreese-Okumura, driving his husband to the hospital at speeds that made Grand Theft Auto look like church 

Relationships: Asheiji

CW: Hospital, Medication Side Effects, Surgery Mention

My thoughts: This oneshot is so cute and funny and utterly adorable. This author has such a distinct style that makes reading all their works so fun. Loopy Ash is freaking great; he’s so oblivious and whoozy. Shorter is having the time of his life watching it all. Eiji seems to find it humorous, but is also adorably flustered by Ash’s loopy compliments. If you want some fluff and humor, definitely check this one out.
