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.

Truly one of the best AU fanfics in this fandom. Top notch characterization and delicious pining. I have read it many times now since I first found it sonI know that it is one of those that stick. Really recommend it!
