Summary
Usually, at this time of the day, he’d be the one skipping up those stairs and calling out to his friend to go explore some other part of the town. But today, he’s sitting alone on the steps, bored.
It’s been five days since he last saw Makoto.

Bookmarker's Notes
Goldfish and twins and a young boy filled with fear and love (endless love really, amazing astounding love). Here for all my big brother Makoto needs. Forever connecting loss and goldfish and the Tachibana twins.

Summary
Don’t worry, say Makoto’s eyes, the small, placid curve of his mouth as he walks past Haru into the sea. I’m not so scared anymore.

Summary
“Oh, darling, do you remember… what was his name? Makoto, was it?” Haru freezes in place, his breath catches in his windpipe like cloth on brambles. He feels Makoto stifle a gasp and try to shrink into himself.
“I asked if you ever saw him again.”

Bookmarker's Notes
THE pinnacle of this ship. Painfully beautiful, guaranteed tugging heartstrings and sniffly tears with each read (a story that is more perfect and true with each read). Lonely little boys, shadows that never leave, children that were meant to be forever. Shooting stars across the sky, wishes on puffs of dandelion, art that brings people to life. Makoto and Haru and everything in between. Two boys who built their lives around the certainty of each other.

The center of her own galaxy. The story of Matsuoka Gou. by subtlyfailing

Summary
Let’s talk about how Gou Matsuoka loses her father at four. How she lives her whole life with sorrow running beneath her skin, through her veins, her bones. Now, let’s talk about how she smiles at strangers on the sidewalk because their stories may be much sadder than her own.
Her brother is the one with the tears, the screaming, with the violent outbursts. Gou carries many of the same scars, but they do not show themselves in poisonous words or harsh actions, or in tears. They show themselves in late night calls to her brother, and all-nighters drawing up workout plans, and dogeared pages in nutritional cookbooks. They show themselves in how fiercely she cares.
Gou shapes herself to be a survivor. She cooks dinner for her mother on weekdays, she picks chrysanthemums to put in vases and she goes out to tea with Hana every Saturday. She counts down the days until New Years and teaches herself to cook all her brother’s favourite meals.
She copes.
You can tell a billion stories about girls who light incense at their father’s graves and text their brothers good night before falling asleep.
No one has ever told Gou’s story.

The fic Gou deserves. Gou, the girl who burns and shines and loves, who will be the center of her own galaxy some day. Absolutely wonderful.
