Summary
When your friend asks you to come with her to her grandfather's farm, desperate to escape a 9-to-5 that sucked her soul dry years ago, you accept readily. Maybe you'll never find anything or anyone to make you feel okay again, but the air is cleaner, the people are kinder, and this saloon holds a lot more promise than the jazz bar you reluctantly called your home. You accepted the truth a long time ago: that you will never be enough. But Yoba, do you yearn to have someone look at you wholly, even if you'll never admit it out loud.
The banal truth is, maybe you have to admit it out loud. Or maybe singing your songs to a jazz-loving doctor with the kindest brown eyes you have ever seen will suffice.
In which you, the Jazz Singer, move to Pelican Town with your friend, the Farmer. You're convinced that you're broken beyond repair, but the Doctor comes prepared with more than just stitches and casts.

Summary
Ryuji doubts that Akechi has ever truly looked sympathetic in his entire life. But now, as they stand face-to-face, his lips pinch almost believably in the corners, and his gaze has lost (most of) that malevolence he seems to carry over his shoulders like a burial shroud.
"Sakamoto, I won’t stand here and pretend that I respect you, let alone like you," Akechi says. "You’re brash and improper and everything that I despise. It’s a wonder we’ve gone this long without being at each other’s throats. But you deserve to be on the same page as I am…It concerns you, after all, and I refuse to tell lies of omission."
Ryuji has never believed in God. Every word he threw out into the air, it seemed like the stars heard it better than whatever negligent being was up there.
But now, he finds himself praying to something, hoping against all odds: Please, don't let this be true.
In which Ryuji breaks out of Maruki's reality the first time around. This is not necessarily a good thing. In fact, as Ryuji comes to find out, it only proves how cruel fate can truly be.

The red string of fate pulls in two different directions. Where will the story lead us?
Let us start the game.

Summary
Anastasia Smith always dreamed of being a professional ballerina, and she was well on her way to accomplishing that dream. But when an accident left her with a transtibial amputation, that dream came to a screeching halt. Eight years later, after her grandfather’s recent passing, Ana decided to take up the mantle to Sapphire Farm, creating the new start she’d craved for so long. What she didn’t anticipate was that she’d end up in an entirely new type of pas de deux: Falling completely in love with the local doctor.
A slow burn romance story with plenty of fluff and smut planned! Tags to be added as the fic continues.

Summary
Of course, he isn’t the type to hold onto vain idealistic hopes. He knew this moment would come eventually, he’s even started drafting a mental plan for encountering each of the Thieves, pondering the exact things to say to push all their buttons and make sure they never contacted him again. I killed your mother, I killed your father, I deceived your sister, I shot you in the head twice, all the classics, all the hits.
He just never considered Yoshizawa could be the first to find him, much less that she’d be staring at him outside a physiotherapy clinic with a look a little in between “witnessing the wonders of nature” and “being held at gunpoint”.

Or: two years after the collapse of Maruki’s reality, Akechi tutors Sumire in philosophy in exchange for not telling anyone he’s alive. It goes about as well as you’d expect.
