Summary
Eiji just wanted to read in peace at the bookstore where he works, surrounded by bad coffee, a decorative skeleton, and musty-smelling books. But then he opened the wrong book. And accidentally released a demon with horns, an inflated ego, and a nose far too sensitive to take a phone to the face. Now they’re bound by a mystical link, sarcasm, and possibly... something worse than a curse: coexistence.

Summary
It’s 1991 in New York City. 17-year-old ballet prodigy Ash Lynx thought that agreeing to star in a charity show for AIDS awareness would be a break from the hard pace of his career. But as the “Swan Queen” in an all-male version of “Swan Lake,” Ash is uncharacteristically detached from his character. Odette is a tragedy; cursed to be swan, torn away from her one true love, killing herself to be with him in death.
Ash can’t relate to the self-victimization.
Things only get more complicated when 19-year-old Japanese photographer, Eiji Okumura, comes onto the scene, poking into Ash’s life with an insatiable curiosity, trying to help Ash reconnect with his muse.
As Ash feels the pressure from his head manager and guardian, the impossible to please Dino Golzine, and is running out of places to hide from the darker, uglier parts of his past and present, Ash Lynx has to start asking the same questions as Eiji.
Does he want to live like he’s in a ballet or dance to the beat of his own drum?~ ~ ~
Or, in which the author uses Swan Lake as an overt metaphor for Ash and Eiji's tragic love (with a fix-it ending)

Summary
Eiji’s writing career has been stagnant since he moved to New York. Realizing that the poor parts of Manhattan are often ignored, he starts documenting Skid Harlor. Though every time he presents his idea of shining a light to the disputes of this big city, the company he is working under denies his work. So, when his editor, Shunichi Ibe, comes to him with a project unlike any other he hopes this will be his big break. The assignment? An exposé on the most dangerous gang leader of New York, The Lynx, who is supposedly working with a well known billionaire tycoon. The goal is to uncover something unseemly about his power in the streets and his connection to the corrupt Valdez family, for the NYPD to foresee imminent dangers. Who really is the Lynx? A scheming, murderous gang leader or just a seventeen-year-old boy, who grew up to defend his life with bullets? That's for Eiji to find out, eventhough it won't be so easy with his feelings and his true background in the way; if Ash ever found out their budding relationship would be doomed. There is no room for peace and love in Ash Lynxs world. So will it be kill or be killed?

Summary
Ash Lynx was that one person, whose face followed someone everywhere.
He beamed from shampoo ads, his name played on the radio, his face on the cover of ELLURE made girls scream like they were struck by a bullet to the heart. This model was a constant infinite presence.
Yes, dear readers, know you know, he - Aslan Callenreese - is New York's brilliantly blooming flower.Eiji Okumura was that one person, who no one recognized.
Fueled by frustration and dreams, Eiji moves to the city that never sleeps, to study design at the prestigious Parsons University. Between overpriced apartments and pizza leftovers, he believed his life would be normal for a student - until one night changed everything.
One night, that thrusts him into glamorous outings, gives him a ticket to the brutal fashion industry and leads Eiji drawn towards one person: Ash Lynx.

Summary
Extreme canon divergence/ AU: What if Eiji never injured himself and therefore never came to the US? The events of Banana Fish still happened, but differently, as Eiji wasn't there to influence them.
Without the injury to slow him down, Eiji Okumura continued to pole vault and eventually won the bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (which actually took place in 2021). Two and a half years later, he finally arrives in New York City. Haunted by feelings of inadequacy, he's ready to give up pole vaulting and create a new life for himself as a photographer. However, the immigration process in the US is long and complicated, and there's no guarantee he'll even be accepted.
Eiji wants a shortcut, and Max Lobo suggests one in the form of a fake marriage to Ash Lynx.

Summary
Eiji had been a victim of bullying in his childhood, an experience that had left deep scars. Determined to change himself radically, he worked hard to overcome those memories. Years later, he unexpectedly crossed paths with his former bully, only to discover that the person before him was now an entirely different individual from the tormentor he had known in middle school.
Part of him yearned for revenge, a desire to make him feel the pain he had once endured. But another part of him urged him to let go of the past, to move on and not let bitterness consume him.
However, fate had other plans. To Eiji's surprise, the once-infamous bully was now a part of his inner circle of friends. Ash Lynx, as he now went by, was closer to Eiji's life than he ever could have imagined.
