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
This is a vent fanfiction.
"There was a time when Ash enjoyed himself.
He just remembered, sitting on a couch in a closed office. His eyes pointed at the woman in front of him but not really... looking. His mind was miles away.
But he remembers.
Yeah.
It felt good at some point. It had to. He got hard after all, right? It was simply his brain gaslighting him into thinking that he doesn't like it. It was simply because he was an ungrateful brat like all of them called him.
Yeah, that made sense."
Or
Ash dissociates after therapy visit and his mind gaslights him into thinking he liked what happened to him.

Summary

Maybe not folks from the material plane, but folks all the same. Folks here can’t be that different. He sighed at his own anxiety, trying to loosen his own tight grip on his violin. Maybe it was because even when playing in the feywild, it felt like a crime in his house. Maybe it was the fact you never heard any kind of music in that damn house. Maybe it was the fact this was his first time in the material plane. Maybe Eiji just always has dreadful anxiety.”

Summary
"I remember my mother vaguely. I have small, distant memories of her, and it is like she is a ghost in my mind, not fully real or present." Ash paused, his chest tightening. "I remember what it was like after she left, though." He stared into the distance, his mind filling yet again with intrusive memories of a darker time. it was hard when so much of his life had been darker times; this happened often. Something his therapist had told him, though, was to push through it instead of avoiding it, by talking about it. Eiji encouraged that as well, so he fought the urge to run, to hide, to freeze, and let Eiji continue to ask him questions about matters which caused a sharp pang to pierce through his heart.
"I know that when I lost my dad it was hard. I can't imagine the impact it must have had on you at such a young age, Ash," Eiji squeezed his hand, but Ash didn't make eye contact. This was hard enough without that.
"Yeah, it's weird. I guess I never really got the chance to know her, you know? And yet, she is one of the people in the world that I miss the most,"

Ash and Eiji talk about the impact of their parents' lives and deaths on theirs. -

Summary
When Eiji wakes up, Ash is turned into a kid??? 11 years old, to be exact. He seems to have lost his memories too. Ash is just a child, and waking up in a strange place with a strange man isn't a very good place to start. He thinks that Eiji must be one of his clients who wants to hurt him again.
So, as Eiji and Shorter (and others) work to gain Ash's trust and take care of him, they give him the childhood that he truly deserved.

Summary
Life is silent, Ash tells himself when he meets Angel and Kaveh during group therapy. But with them, he gets to feel like a normal fish among loads of tiny little fishes, so he certainly won't complain.
--
Ash picks up a blue card picturing a bed drowning in the ocean, surrounded by tiny fishes and a jellyfish. On Kaveh’s is represented a white cradle abandoned in a forest, where the trees are just leafless dead brown trunks. Angel doesn’t want to participate. He thinks it’s stupid, that there’s no point in looking at pictures, that even his friend Charlie could come up with better ideas.

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.

Summary
And at last, Eiji’s footsteps approach the balcony. Ash conveniently times a long stretch of his neck that he knows highlights the elegant line of his collarbone.
Now. This will be it. Ash can’t think of a person alive who could resist this particular tableau. It’s a statement that brings him a vague sense of nausea rather than pride, but it’s true nonetheless.
“You’re letting all the cool air out,” Eiji gripes. “Are you trying to air condition all of New York?”
Ash is startled enough that for just a moment, he drops the facade, and looks up at Eiji in disbelief.
“I… what?”
For the first time in his life, Ash’s attempts at seduction fail.
