Chapters: 1/1
Word Count: 2474
"Ash?"
Ash flinches back from the sound of his name, though he recognizes the voice. It's Shorter—he knows it is, even in his current state of mind. What scares him is that he can't tell what Shorter wants from him.
Just because it's never been something that hurts before doesn't mean it never will be.
"Ash, buddy, come back to me."
Which one is the facade?

This is a PSA to all Banana Fish fans-
if you haven't watched Garden of Light and Forever by Yaki BF, you should. They're two separate animatic fanfictions for what the time after the story might have looked like. Garden of Light is absolutely heartbreaking, and Forever, while on the surface a happier story, has a focus on trauma that will destroy your emotions. If you devoured Banana Fish and need more, this is where to go. There are both English and Spanish versions of both stories, and you need to watch them.
(1) Yaki BF - YouTube

Asheiji fanfic recs pt. 4
Pt. 1 , 2 and 3
Brooklyn Baby by suffragettecity(41k)
Front-man Ash Lynx goes from coast to coast with his bohemian band. Photographer Eiji Okumura goes from journalist to groupie with his newfound freedom.
Your Best American Boy by suffragettecity(57k)
Cherry popsicles, bummed cigarettes, wrinkled photographs and shirtless nights. The summer a Japanese tourist moves in across the street, and an American boy falls in love through the fire-escapes.
Dusk till Dawn by equinoctial(97k)
“Alright. But you stay safe okay? I mean-” Eiji immediately regretted his reflexive reply to a goodbye. This wasn’t just your ordinary stranger, this was probably a powerful wizard for crying out loud.
But instead of an awkward laugh, the wizard settled with a gentle smile, the kind that reached his eyes and made the mystifying jade more brilliant than ever.
“Thanks. You stay safe too,” and with that, the wizard hopped off the balcony and vanished into the crowd below.
---
In which Eiji gets cursed into a ghost, the kingdom wages war on its neighbours, and the devil wizard Ash Lynx roams the wastelands while striking fear into the strongest of hearts.
But of course, fate would see the seemingly heartless wizard fall in love with a heart that had so much to give.
satin birds by kybelles(48k)
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
Mr. James R. Callenreese and Ms. Hideko Aoki are very delighted to announce the engagement between Mr. Callenreese's son and sole heir to Callenreese Corporotions Mr. Aslan J. Callenreese and Ms. Aoki's beloved nephew Mr. Eiji Okumura. The happy couple haven't decided on a wedding date yet.
(Except, Ash and Eiji are not happy at all because they don't want this marriage.)
of sugar cookies and chocolate puddings by kybelles(3k)
Eiji first meets Ash on a gloomy sunday afternoon.
After a little silence, the door is slowly opened by someone Eiji doesn’t notice at first. When he lowers his eyes a little, however, his gaze meets with a pair of bright green eyes. He takes a little step back, taking the appearance of the blonde kid who’s standing in front him. The suspicious scowl on his face softens a little when his eyes catch the plate in Eiji’s hands but he keeps holding his guard.
“Um…” Eiji begins hesitantly.
“What do you want?” the boy asks with a challenging face.
“M-my mom sent this.” he stammers finally, pushing the plate forward a little clumsily.
be my mirror, my sword and shield by kybelles(15k)
Ash Lynx finds the love of his life on a quiet night after he trips on sidewalk and harshly bumps his face against it when he exits from library.
Ash lets out a long-suffering sigh and prepares to take out his phone when he hears a sharp inhale and feels someone approaching him in a hurry. He defensively turns towards the noise but freezes like a deer caught in the headlights.
There’s guy in front of him who’s looking at Ash with concern and the sight of him literally makes Ash’s heart flutter like it’s never done before. He has the softest looking black hair Ash’s ever seen and for a crazy moment, Ash feels an irrepressible urge to run his hand through it. The guy’s already big dark eyes grow impossibly bigger when they land on Ash’s bruised cheek.
“Oh my god!” he shrieks in an adorable manner. “Are you okay?”
“You must be an angel.” Ash blurts before he can stop himself.
Sacrifice by signpainter1(33k)
Ash, the Sun God asks for only one thing; a daily sacrifice of wheat to help him maintained the fields. When war threatens the country, they turn from a wheat sacrifice to a human one. People are brought to the capital including the man Ash loves the most, Eiji Okumura. Ash has to find a way to prevent Eiji from dying which is hard when humans only hear only what they want to hear.
The One With the Vampires by TurnUps(99k)
Eiji Okumura has travelled to New York state because a Count Golzine is paying him an awful lot of money to take some pictures of his house. It doesn't take long for him to find out that he's the intended prey for creatures of the night.
But he instead to save the mysterious Ash, Golzine's supposed son, as well as himself.
*
Ash put his hand over the boy's mouth. Kept him pushed against the wall.
"Listen to me." His voice came out as a growl - a monster's voice. "If you go up to the Golzine Estate, then you won't come back down. With or without the money, you won't see a cent of it. That man - that - thing - he lives to trap pretty boys like you into his web, and he'll gobble you up before you realise you're stuck. Go. Home."
The boy didn't struggle. A rabbit who knew it had been caught in a snare. Dark eyes stared at him - wide. Maybe that meant he was finally seeing sense.
His lips were parted, under Ash's palm. He became away of that. Warm skin and warmer breath. A familiar feeling reared its head in his stomach. A hunger.
No. He could not save this boy from Golzine's clutches just so that he would fall prey to his own.
Uncharted Waters by midnitewrites(148k)
A routine day on the water is turned on its head when fisherman Eiji Okumura spots a strange creature in his fishing net. His excitement quickly morphs into disbelief when he realizes that what he caught is no fish: it’s a mermaid, beautiful and deadly—and, as he soon learns, gravely injured.
Desperate to save them, Eiji spirits the mermaid away to his home and nurses them back to health in his bathtub. As they recover, he learns more about them and their situation: their name is Ash; they can’t hope to survive without a fin to replace the one they lost; and in a year’s time, their pod will once again return to the bay where Eiji first found them.
Together, Eiji and his friends devise a plan to rehabilitate Ash and reunite them with their pod. Yet as Ash gains strength, so, too, do the bonds they forge, and the prospect of saying goodbye becomes far more difficult than any of them bargained for.
Bed of Roses by TurnUps(103k)
Eiji had been watching the boy for the last three dances.
Well, he had been watching, but not watching. Every time the boy’s gaze came anywhere near him, he stared back down at the table, hoping that he hadn’t been caught.
It was the boy’s hair that had caught his eye at first. Yellow – somewhere between yellow and white. He’d never seen hair that colour before. Didn’t know it was possible for real people to have hair that colour. It was as though there was a miniature sun around his head. As if he was a candle, with its own flame.
The flame flickered in his eyes too. Green eyes – he’d rarely seen them, either – and none quite as vibrant a green as his. They sparkled like emeralds, above flashing white teeth. His waistcoat had a hint of green to it, that brought them out all the more.
*
Western/Cowboy/Young Guns AU! Eiji has travelled to America with Ibe because of fishy business with the mayor of a small town. Ash runs a group called the Regulators after the same thing.
And in That Light, I Saw You by ohrange(125k)
After a traumatic experience renders Eiji unable to attend school, Ibe suggests taking some time off to work as his photography assistant at an agency in New York. Eiji takes to the idea well enough, but doesn’t expect to get involved into investigating a sex-trafficking ring… something that Ash, a model at the agency, has been secretly keeping evidence of for years.
[In which Ash is a model with a dark past no one dares to question, and Eiji is a design student who escapes from Japan only to be met with the same thing he wants to forget.]
Rewrite the Stars by Hamliet(58k)
When exchange student Eiji Okumura arrives at his American high school for a year abroad, his worries about fitting in and earning As are quickly swept aside when he meets Ash Lynx, a genius rumored to have spent time in juvie last year. Between Ash, his friends Shorter and Sing, and the mysterious younger brother of the school's principal, Eiji finds himself drawn into a power struggle that he realizes is more familiar than he thought. High School AU... (like, where they're actually in school + there's a chance of healing).
Ain't it like thunder under earth by Snow_Falls(11k)
'Alex clarified, when again it seemed like Ash wouldn’t reply. “Whoever goes with the boss has to spend some time fooling around with him.”
“Who is going with Ash?” Eiji had to ask.
There was a significant pause. The boys looked at Eiji and away.'
Fake dating, then real dating, with the mildest of heists thrown in for flavour.

I JUST FINISHED BANANA FISH AND IM IN DENIAL SO I WROTE THIS TO COPE!!!!!
!!banana fish spoilers!!
Eiji's sister doesn't have a name, so I refer to her as Fuku bc that's what the random name generator wanted.
idea: Ash survives and comes to see Eiji in Japan
It had been a little less than a month since Eiji had returned to Japan. His injuries had almost fully healed, and he was able to walk around and do things again. His poor mother had been horrified to see the state he was in when he arrived home. She cried so hard seeing him hurt in that wheelchair. He remembers thinking about how upset he was that Ash hadn't come, but he was sure that he would see him again while his mother thanked Ibe for taking care of him and his father yelled at Ibe for letting him get hurt.
About a week after he arrived home, he got a call from Ibe saying that Max had called him, and Ash was in the hospital after getting stabbed by Lao. Max had asked him not to tell Eiji yet, but he thought that he deserved to know what happened. Eiji wanted to go right back to America to check on Ash, but he didn't. He decided that he needed to stay here for a while before doing anymore travelling and he's confident that Ash would be ok, ash is strong. One of the strongest- no, the strongest person that he's ever met.
He was so worried about Ash, asking Ibe if he knew how he was doing every day. He remembers thinking that he shouldn't of came back until he was sure that Ash and everyone else was ok. He was so relieved when a few days ago Ibe told him that Ash had finally been released.
He was snapped from his thoughts when his mother called his name. He looked up from where he was staring at a page of his book.
"Sweetie, someone's here to see you."
"What?"
"I think it's a friend from America. He barely speaks Japanese, but he kept saying something in English and your name so I figured I would get you."
Eiji tried to think of who it could be. What if Ash had gotten into more trouble and someone had come after him again? now, that was extremely unlikely. But who could it be? Max is too busy with his engagement and planning his marriage. He had heard that Sing was working with Yut Lung now, so who?
"Thanks ma" He cautiously got up and walked to the door that was cracked open.
Upon opening the door, he was met with a familiar face, ash. Ash had come to see him.
He just stood there staring and Ash just stared back. Finally, he worked up the ability to say something.
"Ash..."
"Eiji..."
"Ash!"
"Eiji!"
Ash jumped onto Eiji, bringing him into a tight hug, Eiji hugged him back. They both pulled back a little, staring at each other, both of them crying happy tears. Ash moves one of his hands to Eiji's face, gently pulling him into a soft kiss. They both Smile as they pull away.
Eiji grabs his hand and pulls him inside the house, shutting the door behind them. As soon as he moves his hand from the knob its back around ash and they're hugging again. They stay like that for a while before Ash remembers that this isn't his home and pulls away.
"How are you? Are you ok? I heard that you were stabbed. You just got released a few days ago, right? Why are you here?"
"I'm fine now, I lost a lot of blood and ended up passing out from blood loss in the library but I'm ok now." Ash responds, gently taking Eiji's hands into his. "And I'm here because I missed you."
The nice moment only lasts for a short minute because Eiji suddenly turns around.
"Awwww, Eiji! Your so on-edge all the time since you came back! I can't sneak up on you anymore!" Fuku, Eiji's younger sister pouts.
"Heh, sorry Fu."
"who's that?" Fuku and Ash both say at the same time, pointing at each other.
"Ash," Eiji starts saying in English "This is Fuku, my younger sister." He turns to Face the girl better, "Fuku," he says in Japanese now, "This is Ash, my....Friend from America" he blushes a little when he decides not to tell her that they're dating.
"Hehe! I knew that that charm I gave you would work!!" Fuku laughs as Eiji jumps back a little.
"Ahh, that was intentional!?"
"What did she say?" Ash asked.
"r-remember that charm I told you about? She said that she knew it would work." The red on both of their faces intensifies and so does Fuku's laughter.
"Well, if it's that obvious, may as well just own it." Ash says, "You can introduce me as your boyfriend if you'd like."
"Sure."
And they all three smile.

the need to write an asheiji fanfic / oneshot where the angst is minimum, this is not focused on their trauma.
they're older, this is post banana fish.
idk where they live (japan or america) but they live in a small apartment with a cat Eiji got somewhere on the streets and Ash couldn't say no to that little rascal. they both go to therapy, crack jokes at each other (like calling the other idiot, bitch, dumbass, just ... typical couple stuff) do shit couples do, and they also keep contact with Sing! (and, therefore, they also know a bit about what Yut lung is doing, Yue and Sing live together.)
and, sometimes, they have these little moments where they realize how far they've come, and how their pasts don't define the amount of shit they endured at such a young age, because it wasn't their fault, they were children, teens, they were young.
and that's okay!
they're just grieving, growing, and healing together :)
the past is not gone, but it's simply a bad memory, the past will always be in the past. it didn't make them stronger, because that wasn't what they needed at the time, but they're alive, safe ... that's all that matters.

this time, I come bearing actual art to promo my dumbassery. hopefully tis enjoyable. I don't do lined art very often so this was. interesting lol.
(fun fact: the background of the first panel has random weird lines in it because I wrote 'I will cry if I have to draw a background'. and then I airbrushed over it just a little so it wouldn't ruin the art too much.)
close ups with no words under the cut.

“You would kill for him?”
There was no doubt or hesitation in Eiji’s eyes. “I would do anything for him.”

Fic update: I'm almost done with chapter 8 and my story is roughly 35K words so far. This morning I wrote our boys a first kiss, though this is a fake dating scenario. Spoiler alert: both are hiding feelings behind the ruse of "pretending." ❤❤❤

Ash x Eiji headcanon
Too lazy to write a disclaimer let's just call it fluff k thxx😭🙏
Eiji's sleep was disturbed by muffled sobs. Not again he thought. Ash screamed in his bed ,"Don't die on me Eiji. I'll quit this lifestyle. I'll come to Japan. I'll do anything!!"
Eiji quietly slid into Ash's blankets & spooned him. "I'm still here, Ash. With you." Ash turned & slept on his back. Eiji's view was breathtakingly beautiful. Blonde messy hair, moonlit features, slightly parted lips.
Eiji was not thinking when he lifted his head & almost kissed Ash. Almost. But stopped. What was he doing. He must be ashamed. Ash was asleep. Unaware. His curiosity was not even close to important.
"What are you doing?" Ash blinked
"I must have been sleepwalking. Sorry."
Eiji tried to leave but Ash held his hand. "I felt your breath on my face. Don't lie to me. Not about this."
"Fine. It's just that... Since the day you passed me a message when I came to see you in prison I've been confused as hell...."
"Let me help you find your answers then."
Ash slid his hand into Eiji's hair & pulled him into a kiss. Besides Eiji, it seemed to answer some of Ash's own questions. And Eiji reciprocated based on instinct having no prior experience. They pulled apart. Breathless. Sweating.
"You taste divine." Ash blinked with a perplexed expression.
"Do I really like it or... Is it just because you're good at it..."
"I did not do it out of obligation or use rehearsed moves on you...."
"Ash could I pass you a secret message this time?"
"You could."
Eiji cupped Ash's face & looked him in the eyes before leaning in & giving a gentle peck on the lips.
"You could read my message here. There's no one else"
"Let me look. Oh. so this is love "
#banana fish#banana fish fandom#banana fish fanfic#ash eiji#ash x eiji#asheiji#aslan jade callenreese#aslan#eiji okumura#banana fish headcanons#so this is love#i refuse to believe ash died in nypl#ik they had a happy reunion in japan#also i gay or asexual im not sure but they romantic not platonic#like come on
