Summary
You are standing in the judgment hall, and the human child shambles towards you. Their feet drag on the tile, barely echoing in the sound-crunching abyss of the chamber. Your small, quiet, soundless breaths are louder than their jerky movements.
They tilt their head up to you, their eyes closed and mouth quirked into an unreadable, indecipherable expression.
You are unsure of how long you’ve been doing this.
You know it’s been a while.
Sans, and the consequences of balancing the scales.

Summary
His face is still clear, standing at a height that protects his head from the sun. The color of his lips is impossible to make out behind the heavy coating of his blood, and his yellow hair is tousled and matted with dried bits of flesh and gore.
Atsumu stares at him with hazel eyes that look terribly, horribly, sickeningly alive.
Atsumu is dead. Osamu lets him go.

Summary
No one on the team has mentioned it to him yet, and he prefers to keep it that way. They likely don’t remember that he and Oikawa Tooru, #13 of the Men’s Argentina National Volleyball Team, played on the same team in high school. And even if they do, they certainly wouldn’t know that they were closer than just the ace and his setter.
If God truly loves him, his team will stay both ignorant and away from him.
When Miya Atsumu sits down next to him, propping his chin on the heel of his hand and staring at him with an unnervingly knowledgeable gaze, Iwaizumi knows that God has forsaken him.
Or; it's the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics, and the Volleyball Olympic gold matchup is between Argentina and Japan. Iwaizumi Hajime, the athletic trainer for the Japanese Men's National Volleyball Team, observes the #13 Argentinian setter from afar. He tells his team that he doesn't know Oikawa Tooru as well as he used to, and he tells himself that the concern he feels for his estranged best friend is just his mind playing cruel tricks.
Until Sakusa Kiyoomi, outside hitter for Team Japan, convinces him otherwise.

Summary
“Do you want to come over?” He asks softly, one arm wrapping loosely around his middle. “Most people have gone home. There’s…” He pauses. “We have some orange juice left. The kids couldn’t drink the rest. It’s yours if you want.”
Oikawa takes a moment to respond. “I’ll be over in twenty minutes. Want me to bring anything?”
“We’d be happy if it’s just yourself,” he says, and he wishes he could blame the tenderness in his voice on intoxication.
Iwaizumi Hajime hosts a party to celebrate his promotion to working for Team Japan's Men's Volleyball Team. When the party dims and most people have left, he invites Oikawa Tooru over.

Summary
Gojo smiles at Megumi, whose eyebrows are raised in anticipation. “Megumi, you have a lot to learn about revenge. What is the one thing a self-absorbed, cheating man loves more than anything in the whole world?”
“His dick,” he responds confidently.
“No!” Satoru laughs and points a finger at Megumi’s nose, watching as he goes momentarily cross-eyed. “Good guess. I’d put that at number two. But Megumi, dear, you must understand. There is nothing he is more prideful of than his car.”
In which Tsumiki gets cheated on and, really, Gojo has been waiting to destroy a bitch's Maserati.

Summary
Oikawa Tooru and Iwaizumi Hajime have not spoken since they last saw each other at Sendai Airport in 2013 when Oikawa left Japan for a bright future in Argentina. Eight years later, they meet again during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics: Men's Volleyball Gold Matchup, 2021.
They say old habits die hard. What they don't say is that childhood friends die like cockroaches.
Meaning, they don't die, no matter how long they run around with their heads chopped off. Throw in the complicated feelings of unresolved romantic tension, and you get a full-blown nuclear blast! Too bad cockroaches tend to survive those, too.

Bookmarker's Notes
I cannot describe in words how good this series is. Seriously, it is so hard to put it into words. I have learned so much about life and how to deal with my problems in the fanfiction. I cried to the sequel like a madman, I will say. It is so beautiful in so many ways.
Tied in with two other fanfictions as my favorite (Come Morning Light & When I Awake), and is the second fanfiction I have ever cried to. I don’t plan on extending this list thank you very much.
The way to read this (in my opinion) is this way: First, “that’s, like, a hundred miles” then “as long as i’m here” and finally, if you can handle it, “he’s my brother, i just raise him”.

Summary
Dazai Osamu has been in a coma for exactly one year, seven months, and twenty-two days. But Death still refuses to take him.
Trapped in the space between worlds and unable to die, Dazai waits, killing what precious time he may have left and hoping—praying—that his family will pull the plug and move on. He doesn't expect someone to move into his old apartment instead.
Nakahara Chuuya, two-time Grammy awards winner, and freshly unemployed pessimist, has never believed in fate, much less the supernatural. But the lively—if a bit annoying—ghost of his apartment's previous tenant, might just change everything.

Bookmarker's Notes
To start off: I cried 3 times reading this. This also happens to be the third fic to ever make me cry. Congratulations on making it to my very short list.
I wish I could recommend this to every person I've ever met. I want to print out copies and give them to everyone I know (which I will not be doing because that is borderline illegal but you get the point). This fic is so vital in understanding death, the various ways it comes, and how it lingers after it has taken what it wants. I feel like I truly learned something new about life when I read this.
It's different from my other two favorite fics in the sense that this isn't action-packed at all. There are no fight-scenes. While the stakes do eventually lead to life-and-death, the majority of the fic is not that high. Characters are not stabbing and shooting each other, are not running for miles and miles at a time. This is a slow-paced romance, and goddammit it feels just as intense as the other two. There is a lot I can say about this fic, but I already have said most of it in a 5600 word comment I left on the last chapter. Please read that to get my full thoughts.
Read this fic. You don't have to watch Bungou Stray Dogs to enjoy this, I swear. We could all use a lesson on life, death, and hope.
