    Summary

    “I-if you’re just trying to, to tell me you want all tangible manifestations of my f-filth erased from, um – erased from the world," says Touko, "then you can j-just say…”

    “Oh, no,” says her mother, who is peeling and coring and dicing apples at the table in a slow, methodical fashion, “we’d never want that.”

    “Just think of the havoc it would play with your royalties,” says her other mother, and she tilts her head, just so, till light winks from the silver studs in her ears.

    (Before Syo arrived there were just blackouts, and way too many pieces of DIY equipment hidden round Fukawa's room.)

    Summary

    Shouto was hovering in the doorway, head leant gently against the jamb and hair spilling around his throat like a cloud of snow and wine. He was always beautiful, but something about him then – illuminated in the late night glow of the kitchen’s under unit lights, soft with sleep – caught the breath in Izuku’s throat.
    He smiled, pink lips curling so perfectly Izuku wanted to reach out and trace them with his fingertips.

    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
    So far, second year had been a lot. Between juggling school work, an impending war it was his job to end, and falling head over heels for one of his best friends, Izuku was pretty much ready to crawl into bed and stay there for the rest of his natural life.

    Summary

    "When two souls, which have sought each other for, however long in the throng, have finally found each other …a union, fiery and pure as they themselves are… begins on earth and continues forever in heaven." -Victor Hugo  

    It is like this: when a matched pair meet, it is usually not long before the first Touch and then the Words. There is always a stirring under the skin to reach out because humans were never designed to live in isolation. There is a pull that never wavers, quiet and calm under the surface. Denying it only makes it stronger and causes chance meetings again and again until they Touch.

    It is like this: even Valjean thinks the number times they have met by sheer coincidence is ridiculous and Javert is frankly sick of it.

    Summary

    …while all around there is not a single living soul, not a bird, not a fly, and it is beyond comprehension who the waves are roaring for, who listens to them at nights here, what they want, and, finally, who they would roar for when I was gone. [A speculative rebuild of the hearts and minds of Shinji Ikari and Asuka Langley Soryu, following the events of End of Evangelion. Kawoshin, Asurei.]

    Probably my favorite fic of all time. Everything about it is perfect, from the characterization, to the tone, to the rawness of the dialogue and the setting. It is so perfectly unique and yet so fitting with NGE...and so, so haunting. Has stuck with me for countless years and I always go back to it. Incredible stuff.
