Noragami Big Bang 2020 Final Lineup
June 29 - she who grants the wishes of the gods by jaystrifes / @stray-gods with artist @flandraws and beta Sydney
Summary: On her 20th birthday, Hiyori makes a wish to be with Yato and Yukine forever, even knowing that remaining tethered to the world of gods and shinki will shorten her mortal life. But forever isn’t as impossible as it seems, and a special reward awaits she who grants the wishes of the gods.
June 30 - By Any Other Name by sleepydragon03 / @neverticklethissleepingdragon with artists @red-hare-canvas and @devotedlyconfused (Instagram)
Summary: Yato is the son of the most feared master of chi in the land. By a twist of fate he is chosen to be the Dragon Warrior, the fighter who is destined to defeat him, but the Masters of the Jade Palace have no idea who he is, and he must keep his secret or be killed by his captors, who are holding him hostage rather than lose track of their only hope to save all of China.

July 1 - Sun, Sand & Gods by @thedeliverygod with artists @mao-na and @feelingwitchy-art
Summary: Hiyori announces her wish for a “normal” summer break without a second thought over dinner. Yato, of course, is eager to make her wish come true. But with Yato around, it’s going to be anything but normal.

July 2 - A Song Without Words by @starlikeknight with artist @xeccentric and beta @cryptidloch-ness
Summary: He couldn’t remember anything; not where he was or how he’d gotten there, not anything about the strange creatures that chased him or why people seemed to look through him. He couldn’t even remember the man, or rather the god, whose blue eyes glowed and settled on him with a heavy, complicated sadness.
’Yukine’, the god had called him, with a familiarity and a fondness that made him feel warm. But even so, he couldn’t remember.
July 3 - Crab Island by sleepydragon03 / @neverticklethissleepingdragon with artists @PokeCardzz (Instagram) and @danytheshygal
Summary: Yato is a freelance worker at the popular tourist attraction, Crab island, a coastal sand bar where floating restaurants and attractions dock and allow tourists to swim/wade through the water to each of them. He is in love with the young medical assistant who works the medical assistant boat and is planning to ask her out at the end of the season concert and party bash before he loses his shot and the tourist season ends.

July 6 - When You Hurt by Charis_14 / @charislcarousel with artist @dreaming-asleep
Summary: Since becoming a blessed regalia, Yukine receives a horrific nightmare of his past. Waking up during the dark night in terror, Yukine doesn’t understand how this could happen to him as he struggles under the agonizing panic. Yato feels the pain from his own end and works to find a way he can comfort and protect his dear shinki. As he gets pushed away, they both end up hurting more. What’s worth more in a relationship? Is it perceived dignity, or the fact that sometimes, we all could use a little help?
July 7 - Shelter by @sondeneige with artist @yatosaurus and beta @midori-verte
Summary: Yukine avoids going back to his house after school as much as possible. But that isn’t a way to live.
Yato sees this kid hanging out outside his work all of the time after school and maybe relates more than he would like to admit. But what is he going to do… invite this kid into his apartment? Well, he’s had worse ideas.
July 8 - Bathtime by sleepydragon03 / @neverticklethissleepingdragon with artists @cache-pau and @artfool
Summary: Hiyori helps the little reincarnated baby Yato take a bath, showing him all the affection she wishes he’d gotten during his first childhood and she’s forced to face some of her own regrets about how things got to be this way. Angst and fluff

July 9 - love the world like i should by @xenorosis with artist @swatato and beta @beautiful-fiscal-siren
Summary: Yato walks the streets of the now quiet village. He’s been staying in the Earth Kingdom for almost three months now, drifting from place to place. He stays away from Ba Sing Se and the other larger cities, choosing instead to stay near the coast. It wouldn’t be good for him if one of Father’s contacts recognized the Yaboku Assassin. It didn’t matter how remote the chances of that happening were. Yato wasn’t going to risk his freedom.
Or, Yato is the avatar and Hiyori is his spirit guide, and they have to figure out this avatar stuff while also not being captured by Yato’s father.
July 10 - ghosting by rizahawkaye / @royai with artist @yatosaurus and betas @eat0crow and @kmchelle
Summary: Some boys were made of clay. They walked and they talked, because they were sculpted that way, but their insides were thick and impenetrable. Some boys were hollowed out; excavated, emptied. They were not sculpted, and if they talked there was no one to hear them.
July 13 - Call Out My Name by @unlockthelore with artists @sushi-tzu and @daisyanimatez (Twitter)
Summary: To give someone a name is to give them a place in your heart and your mind, a purpose in the world, and a place to call home. Yukine, Hiyori and Yato know one another’s names and say them in earnest. That way, they’ll never be apart and can always find their way back home.
July 14 - while you were dreaming by blueandgold / @blue-and-gold-things with artists @asin-ka and @ayyydrie
Summary: When her grandmother’s health worsens, Iki Hiyori and her family move to rural Okutama to care for her. Meanwhile, a homeless Yato spends his days doing odd jobs and stashing money in a bottle he doesn’t know what he’s saving for. Everything changes when they fall asleep, only to wake up in each other’s bodies. (Kimi no Na Wa!AU)

July 15 - Equilibrium by Detective_Essie / @yatoholmes with artist @alexecinz and beta @beautiful-fiscal-siren
Summary: In the year Hinoto-Tori, at an overdue event celebrating the return of Tsukuyomi, Yato is anything but happy. Taking Hiyori’s advice, he attempts to seek the missing piece of his past from Amaterasu, Ruler of Takamagahara, and more recently, his older sister. Can he truly make all things even between them, or will they be wedged further apart from the bitterness of it all?
July 16 - Regardless of Distance by StraySkies / @herstrayskies with artists @crystalline.arts (Instagram) and @mitraki and beta @cryptidloch-ness
Summary: She promised she wouldn’t let her memory get the best of her while he promised to protect the ones he loved most. They both fail to keep their promises completely intact but one forgotten memory is everything to a certain God.

July 17 - Flower trail by frogsarefriends / @hallucxnatingblog with artist @creiyonpop and betas @mcgonnagle and swide
Summary: Hiyori is mad at Yato and he attempts to apologize by offering her flowers. He fails to see the bigger picture though, and Hiyori has no choice but to finally reflect on her feelings.
July 20 - Highway to Heaven by TheFluffyOtaku / @oneofyatosfollowers with artist @portodaeth
Summary: After accepting a teaching job far from home, Hiyori moves to a dusty town called Heaven as the new science teacher. Just as she settles in, her brother explains the town’s most alluring aspect: the notorious blood feuds between the motorcycle clubs! One thing leads to another and Hiyori finds herself in a torrent of dangerous secrets between her troubled student, her co-worker, and a rider named Yato.
July 21 - Lunchtime lovers! by @fauvra with artist @cydoniart and beta swide
Summary: When Hiyori’s food went missing from the company fridge, she didn’t think much of it. Then it happened again. And again. So, when she left a note asking politely for the thief to stop, she did not expect them to write back, nor did she expect to end up falling in love with said thief. Yatori office AU: a three part story told through notes, texts, and phone-calls (and a whole lot of yelling).
July 22 - Where Dwell the Brave at Heart by midoriverte / @midori-verte with artists @cynnderarts and @ayyydrie and beta @sondeneige
Summary: When Yato, the son of a family of notorious Dark Wizards who have been in Slytherin for centuries, is sorted into Gryffindor, everyone thinks it’s a mistake. Including him. When Muggleborn student Hiyori Iki is sorted into Gryffindor a year later, everyone warns her to stay away from him. But she can’t help but think they’re wrong about him…
July 23 - sunrise by celestial_nova / @celestial-nova with artists @feelingwitchy-art and @littlessushi and beta @kmchelle
Summary: “I want peace.” Those three words were the first thing she was aware of, cutting through a silence that, until then, hadn’t existed. // The origin of the war god Vaisravana, and how she became Bishamonten.
July 24 - Freedom of the Strays by sundance7936 / @isammy7936 with artists @mitraki and @flute-mob and betas @future-circuit and @imeoninthewoods
Summary: In Shore City, Hiyori Iki has two goals: graduate university and keep the citizens safe from corrupt councilman and corporations. With the help of smart-mouthed Yukine, she patrols the city by night under the guise of Butterfly to help those in need.-
For months the two have been tracking down Father, leader of the mysterious Clan of Masks who steal and blackmail those in power for their own gain. However, they aren’t the only ones on their tails. Yato, known by day as the Man Who Could Do Anything, prowls the rooftops as Stray Cat.
One day, Hiyori catches wind of a powerful item, the Mandate of Hell, a master key that can access every computer system in the city, that is on Father’s Wishlist. She isn’t the only one however and finds a familiar face burning a trail right to the heart of the Clan.
Despite protests, Hiyori chooses to work with the mysterious Stray to retrieve the weapon, but will the trio be able to push aside their differences and work together to bring Father down? Or will they all not come out unscathed?
July 27 - highways i call home, a collaboration between @yuwukine’s mods
Summary: Hiyori Iki is a bored college graduate tired of being labeled a reclusive bookworm. When her grandmother gives her a wad of cash and tells her to explore the world, she decides to set out on the road trip of a lifetime. She expected to meet more people, to make new friends. She did not expect the two homeless hitchhikers in her backseat. As Hiyori begins to unravel the secrets that the boys hold, she finally begins to question what she truly wants from life. And if she happens to fall in love along the way: well, that’s just an extra bonus.
July 28 - I’m All Snorked Out by sleepydragon03 / @neverticklethissleepingdragon with artist @holly-wee

Summary: Iki Hiyori discovers a guy passed out on her twelfth-story balcony one morning, and her life just gets stranger from there. AU, Yatori.
July 30 - Noradora by LesPoly / @fridgeine with artist @artfool
Summary: Hiyori’s been having trouble with school, hitting a low point where she questions her place in the world. In response, the world decides to intertwine her fate with that of a dragon named Yato’s—opening a world of magic and fantastical beings that will forever change her once normal life. (Miss Kobayaski’s Dragon Maid AU)
July 31 - beheld by hiyoris_scarf / @kofubisha with artists @viinas and @rottenmatcha (Twitter)
Summary: The young gods must listen to the old. This was one of Bishamon’s earliest memories: words her guidepost repeated. At that time, it was easy to believe. She liked the other gods well enough; she even admired some of them. She let them teach her because she was a newcomer, and because only they could help her to learn the subtle laws of her own godhood. But despite their willingness, and despite her own guidepost’s efforts, Bishamon preferred to learn through experience. That was how she met the binbōgami.
