contains literal heart-eating if you couldn’t guess by the title

It was a joke, at first. A quip thrown this way and that when they call him a rake, a rogue, a ravisher. You just go around stealing hearts, they say, sometimes accusing, sometimes sad, and he can’t stomach any sort of seriousness so he replies with a winking and I eat them, too.
But this is the land of Ingary, where things such as giants and fire demons and seven-league boots exist.
“Eruka Frog is a swamp witch who was forced to take an oath to aid anyone who asks for help, a duty she reluctantly keeps - even when a wounded werewolf lands himself in her swamp, begging for her to heal him. Free has lost his immortality due to a curse that began within his own clan and, as the witch and the werewolf grow closer, the identity of the true culprit behind both their curses becomes more and more apparent.”
Sometimes, art is lost to the sands of time. This post celebrates the writers who are left behind. Please give them your support!

Prank wars, bug juice, tetherball, and ghost stories -- summer camp is all fun and games until you fall in love for the first time.
July 2, 2015: Hit Me Down Sonny
by author thebrightestfell [ ffn / tumblr ]
Soul Evans expects summer camp to be a boring, stubborn mistake made to outwit his parents. However, when he becomes the nemesis of the cute blonde who runs the girls' side of camp and best friends with the leader of the boys', a prank battle of the sexes breaks out and to the victor goes the bragging rights. But as he starts to develop feelings for the enemy things slightly get out of hand…

Just like clockwork, Soul has always taken the bus to and from wherever he needs to be. He sits in the back, always keeping to himself, listening to music as he weaves in and out through traffic, unwilling to be bothered by others. Except one. The girl who sat alone, who saw color where he thought there was only monochrome, who brought a touch of life to his dull days, who he wants his music to be touched by the most. The one named Maka.

It was supposed to be an easy mission. Now Maka and Soul find themselves thousand feet below in a mine searching for the one behind the disappearing of countless of children. The longer they spend in the mine, they dig their own graves inside the depth of the abandoned mine.

1958, New Years Eve. What Maka Albarn was expecting was a night of dancing, champagne, and celebrating with the jazz pianist next door. What she got instead was explosions, riots, and more dead bodies than she'd ever seen on her operating table. In just a few short hours, the researcher's world ended and a began anew -- and now she has to do something, lest she sink, both literally and metaphorically, with Rapture. Bioshock AU

by author Professor Maka [ ao3 / ffn ]
Tsugumi Harudori doesn't know what to do. She'd come to the DWMA to learn to control her weapon form, not to be a hero, but with her teachers and friends encouraging her to join the EAT class, she has a life changing decision ahead of her. All she'd ever wanted was to be normal--can her idol Maka Albarn help her to see that heroes are people, too?
July 21, 2016: The Dubious Moralities Of A Bloody Pistol
by author ilarual [ ffn / ao3 ]
Franken Stein never considered himself much of a detective, but when an old flame comes back into his life begging for his help solving a string of murders, he finds he might just have a talent for crime-solving after all. It's just a shame that all the evidence is pointing straight to his red-headed ex boyfriend...

TheatreKid!AU. It's Spring Muse-I-Kal time, and the high school's production of Peter Pan is in need of a Wendy. Unfortunately, Maka doesn't have time for another extracurricular! So what's a desperate lead to do, except make some time for her?

by author lavendermatrix [ ao3 ]
Soul has a good life: friends, a decent job, a beautiful, loving girlfriend. One Wish can change all of that, though, and it may come with prices he doesn't anticipate.
July 16, 2018: My Star...
by author ADdude [ ffn ]
One quiet night Tsubaki thinks back on her life with Black Star and what he truly means to her. "If you'll be my star, I'll be your sky."
July 20, 2018: Soul Seeing Alchemist
by author ADdude [ ffn ]
Fullmetal Alchemist AU. Maka Albarn is a young alchemist studying under a state alchemist. There she meets Soul, an Ishvalan refugee. She soon stumbles upon a dark experiment that threatens to change their lives forever.
I was lucky enough to snag myself a fantastic author with an amazing story! ovo
Freeruka is a ship that I have always low-key supported and I’m so happy that I decided to go for it this year. This ship needs more love guys, and what better way to do that than read a great fic about them, am I right? If you haven’t read the first part, it’s so worth it you don’t even know. READ EVERYTHING YOU WON’T REGRET IT
