Summary
Putting up with Seifer’s antagonistic bouts of unchecked emotion only pushed me to get stronger... The thought of beating that guy and wiping that smug grin off his face served as a good motivator, and he made for a good sparring partner—I wouldn’t exactly call him my “rival”, or whatever weird thing that self-described “romantic” guy called it... But Seifer’s shitty attitude made me want to train harder to make something of myself, that’s all I needed to know. I still don’t understand what his weird obsession with me is...
One time when he was being an asshole he called me an “Ice Queen”, but... Something about that made me remember our weird joint training mission with Trabia Garden, to that isolated village in the northern snowfields... I always thought it was a fever dream brought on by hypothermia—a dying woman in a heavy fur cloak reaching out to me, a blinding snowstorm, the harsh sound of the wind... then I woke up fevered in the village inn. Sometimes I still dream of a howling arctic wind... I don’t know if that really happened, or what it means...
[Branching timeline of the events of FFVIII, after a dying Sorceress in the snowfields of Trabia found a young boy to give her desperate hopes to.]

Summary
He can see ghosts, which means he still has family. Still has Shisui, and all the aunts and uncles and cousins and distant relatives he didn’t even know before. Still has mother, her kind smile and her knowledge. Still has father, as well, although Fugaku stays distant most days, wallowing in regrets and things that make the air around him terribly cold.
Sasuke is glad, selfishly, for that small mercy.
He could have lived without the ghost drama, though....
Or: the one where Sasuke can see ghosts, and things aren't as bad as they could be.

Sasuke who can see ghosts au. So he hangs out with his dead family. He ends up better adjusted overall as a result- I mean on the whole... definitely seems creepier to the average outside perspective though. It has a lot of interesting interactions between characters.

“And who are you trying out for?” Ms. Janeth asks.
In another time, in another world, he’d stuttered out the name Romeo. But as he chews on the thought of it, he finds himself… almost sickened by the idea. He thinks about winning the part of Romeo and letting this version of Claire kiss him and… despite his promise to the girl he loves… he can’t do it.
She’s gone. She’s dead. Someone who looks just like her is here, but this isn’t his Claire, and it feels unfair to her to try and treat her like that. This Claire doesn’t know about trolls or goblins or wizards. This Claire was never possessed, never won her body back through sheer force of will. This Claire never fought against Angor Rot or Gunmar or Morgana le Fey.
So…
“Mercutio,” Jim blurts out.

Summary
"Hey, Rean—what'd I tell ya? When you stare into Gehenna, it stares right back at you."
Rean felt sick when Crow stabbed him in the back, he was so angry at his bold-faced lies that his time at Thors meant nothing, and his snitting words, "That Crow doesn't exist, sorry about it." It was frightening in retrospect that Rean let a person like that in, he was ashamed that he let a juvenile crush on this charmingly-eccentric second year blind him to all the signs. He wanted to yell at the Crow who betrayed him, who coldly wiped the floor with him without even breaking a sweat—but who the hell was this Crow sitting in front of him with a homemade fish burger? It was an almost cruel amalgamation of this dangerous stranger... and the Crow he thought he knew.
Crow always made fun of him for being a meddling mother hen, so he was going to meddle until it all made sense. He wouldn't give up on him—he chose to believe in the Crow who never pushed him away.
[A retelling of the Erebonian arc if Crow/Rean was canon, instead of just strongly implied lol. Filled with drama, romance, motorcycles, anachronistic slang, Gunda—I mean Divine Knight battles, and Pops' special chili sauce.]

Crow Armbrust would rather die before than ally himself with a bastard like Cayenne. He decides to forge his own path to revenge, even if he has to sacrifice his soul in the process.
Yet Osborne's merry band of misfits are nothing like he expected. His sickly fellow Ironblood, Rean Schwarzer, is an enigma he's determined to solve. Living in self-imposed exile from his aristocratic family, Crow isn't sure if he resents the man's privilege, or welcomes how easy he is to take advantage of.
Regardless of the truth, he can't tear himself way.
But he won't allow anything to stop him on his path to revenge.
