A3! Fic Recs Post

One-Shots

dress for success by valdera

2k words, Juza & Yuki AO3 Summary: The ensuing silence makes Juza feel so awkward that he blurts out, “Where’s your hat?” “My hat?” “Uh,” Juza says, feeling his face grow warm in embarrassment. “You’re usually wearing it.” “I don’t usually wear it when I’m sewing because it gets in the way,” Yuki says, “and I thought—right, that doesn’t matter now.” Abruptly, he moves to stand right in front of Juza, scowling at the ground like it’s personally wronged him. “Juza,” Yuki says, meeting his eyes with that same challenging look again, “I heard that you wanted to try wearing a dress?” Juza blinks at him. “What?” Notes: REALLY CUTE JUZA AND YUKI BONDING FIC

Late Afternoon Sunset by Timeskipped

1.7k words, Kazunari & Misumi AO3 Summary: Summer Troupe is welcoming him with open arms, and it’s not that Misumi doesn’t like it (because he loves it, adores it, would die for more of it) but rather because Misumi isn't used to this kind of friendship. He’s not triangular enough for them. Kazu, especially. Notes: I looove how the author writes Misumi (in all of his fics, but in this one especially). Top-tier platonic hurt/comfort.

Today I Will Be You by NoodleStories

6k words, gen AO3 Summary: It would be funny, she thought. Have her actors pretend to be each other for a day under the pretense of it being an acting exercise. It couldn't be that bad, she thought. She had a headache. (A personal writing challenge where I randomly generated who had to imitate who) Notes: DELIGHTFULLY funny (and also lots of fun trying to guess who's playing who).

What A Slutty, Slutty Lightbulb by flavovitta

1.5k words, gen, M AO3 Summary: Tsuzuru, Kazunari, and Misumi sit down for a talk about his adjective choices Notes: This fic made my soul leave my body

Multichapter (Complete)

offer me that deathless death by flavovitta

69k words, Kazunari/ Misumi/ Tsuzuru, Immortality AU, M AO3 Summary: If you tread into the woods and offer up a gift, there's a chance a witch will grant your wish. Notes: Emotional equivalent of being wrapped in a blanket, given a mug of hot cocoa, then being punched in the face. And then wanting to go back for more.

Permanent Marker by thechavanator

10k words, Kazunari/ Misumi/ Tsuzuru, Soulmate AU AO3 Summary: A little less "the person (or people) you're meant to spend your life with", a little more "make an effort, goddammit!" or; Tsuzuru makes a questionable late night decision, Kazunari tries to make a plan, and Misumi is apparently the only one who knows how soulmates work. Notes: If you like soulmate aus, you'll love this. If you don't like soulmate aus...you'll also love this, not in a "oh it's just so good you'll change your mind uwu" but in a "the complete deconstruction of predestination has set the bar for literally every other soulmate au".

Pyrrhic by Timeskipped

39k words, Chikage & Hisoka AO3 Summary: adjective - (of a victory) won at too great a cost to have been worthwhile for the victor. Hisoka forgets. “I won’t die. I’ll just lose my memories again. I can make new memories. Everyone will understand. If I do this, you’ll believe me. And I can have my whole family back.” Notes: What would happen if Hisoka DID end up drinking the memory erasing potion in Act 5? PAIN. LOT'S OF PAIN THAT'S WHAT.

Boreas Over Veludo by Luonto

6k words, Fuyupoly, No Mankai AU AO3 Summary: "The Spring Troupe is like a family, the Summer Troupe like school friends, and the Autumn Troupe like comrades for the same cause. What does that make us, then?" "Noble figures fated to share the same destiny, perhaps?" "…I guess I'd say our relationship is supporting each other when our burdens become too heavy to bear on our own." // Award-winning poet Homare Arisugawa grapples with the unchanging pace of everyday life. A mysterious man with no memory of his past finds his way to his apartment doorstep. The two's destinies become inexplicably intertwined together, drawing in those around them. Even without the common ground of Mankai Company, the members of Winter Troupe still find their way to each other. Notes: Hasn't been updated in a while so it might be abandoned, which is a damn shame because I ADORE what exists so far

手紙 (Letters) by NoodleStories

15k words, gen AO3 Summary: Hello everyone! I have a new exercise I'd like you to participate in. I thought it would be fitting if I told you all through letter. Encased in this envelope are everything you need to write a letter of your own! As well as the name of an actor who I'd like you to write to. I haven't looked at which name went into each envelope, so I'm trusting you all to not cheat and swap names! As for the contents, it doesn't have to be anything big. Just put down whatever comes to mind. And if you're up to it, try to write it all in one draft. It's important for us to understand each other as a company. I won't be reading them, but I hope that you all receive a lovely letter in the next few days. - Izumi Tachibana Notes: Another character study by the same author, albeit slightly more serious. Has lots of great bonding moments, especially for characters that don't interact that much in canon.

Mankai Suisougakubu by ImberNox

269k words, High School AU AO3 Summary: Mankai High's Wind Symphonic gets a new director by the name of Tachibana Izumi. With only three members in the club initially, she goes to great lengths to recruit new members for her band and secure funding opportunities. Thus begins a long two years of practices and rehearsals. Along the way, Izumi realizes that, for all she needs musicians in her band, her musicians need her and each other as family even more. Notes: Pretty heavy-hitting (mind the tags) but damn.

mirror's face by ryukogo

150k words, Isekai AO3 Summary: Once, during an old production, the previous members of MANKAI bought a set of floor mirrors that never ended up getting used, and was forgotten about. However, these mirrors were rather strange ones - if you saw a different “you” inside a mirror and touched it, you would switch places with that “you”, and be trapped in the world within the mirror while that “you” wandered free. Unfortunate, really, that all of Yuki’s troupe members touched those stupid mirrors at different points while he wasn’t looking. How the hell was he going to hide this from the rest of the dorm, anyway? And how was he going to bring the rest of the summer troupe back? Notes: This fic has everything. Chaotic Natsugumi shenanigans. Absolutely insane levels of worldbuilding. Yuki having the only braincell.

of covens and magicians by flavovitta

436k words, Urban Fantasy AU AO3 Summary: Izumi, a Fourthborn Witch who had given up on becoming a powerful magician years ago, receives a letter addressed to her father. It requests assistance in the following two endeavors: 1: The restoration of the Mankai Coven, 2: The Education of a Firstborn Witch named Sakuya. Notes: bro.

A3! Summer troupe gift exchange. 

Tenma always gives signed autographs of his face and is like “hold onto that, it’ll be worth something in a few years”. Little does he know the reason why everyone is really happy to pull his name isn’t for the picture, but because he always puts $20 in the card.

Yuki always makes their gifts, that’s no surprise. It depends; sometimes it’s clothes for their plushies (like if it’s Kumon, it’ll be tiny versions of Juza’s play costumes for the Juza doll tm, or if it’s Muku it’ll be little shoujo manga cosplays for William). Other times its just custom outfits because who doesn’t love a good Yuki fit.

Misumi just gives triangles. Like, I don’t have to elaborate. If Misumi pulls your name out of the hat, you are getting a triangle. It’s that simple.

Muku will find the perfect manga to fit whatever your genre of choice is and... sobs. Like Yuki now has a collection of manga about fashion design and Misumi has a special place on his shelf for the only triangle-related manga Muku could find (it’s a geometry textbook). 

Kazunari will get you the most thoughtful gift, that he found through a TikTok advertisement. Like the gift is catered to you, so Muku is getting a manga he found on booktok or Yuki is getting some hair curler he found that is very likely a part of a pyramid scheme. It is just all very... TikTok

Kumon gives homemade gifts that are just the most wholesome things in the world. Like yes, the bonsai he gave Tenma is half dead, but he still spent the past 4 months catering to it and he is so proud. And yes, Tenma does have a special space on his shelf for it. 

I love friendship

harutaka time

Masumi’s school having a parents day or whatever so he has Itaru and Citron (in Izumi wig) come in as his parents and the whole time everyone is like “those aren’t your parents” and Masumi just responds with “what? Because we aren’t your typical nuclear family? Huh? Because my mom looks different than the other moms here? Well shut up because they are my parents and I love them” and it’s just

“No Masumi, it’s because they are only 6 years older than you.”
