Summary
An AU where Kirei goes to study under Tokiomi under the suggestion of his father. It seems fine until he meets Gilgamesh - Tokiomi's kept paramour - and murder may or may not happen. Cu is also a gardener who wants nothing to do with this shit.

Bookmarker's Notes
heed the fic's rating. it does not have smut, but sex is a ubiquitous topic throughout. this fic is also unfinished, and the author has stated their intentions in the comments to leave it as is.
I am LIVING for this modern AU's premise. Kirei goes to study under Tokiomi à la Fate/Zero, but finds himself slowly being entangled with Gilgamesh and learns more about Gil's partners: Tokiomi (who is cheating on his wife with Gil) and Cú (whom Gil is cheating on Tokiomi with). things are messy in both that romantic context and a living situation context, and I love that.
it helps that the characters' clothing and action descriptions are superb. if you're into Fate stuff and want an excuse to read something on the soapier side, do yourself a favour and read this.

A Model Nerd by arcsandblah

Summary
Midoriya had absolutely no idea how the hell the store he was part-timing at was keeping afloat. A GameStop. In the middle of the high-end fashion district of the city. He was lucky if there was one person who walked into the store over the course of an entire shift, let alone someone who'd buy something.
Though rare, a customer did come in one day! Too bad for Midoriya’s nerdy heart said customer was none other than supermodel Bakugou Katsuki—who also happened to be a nerd?

Bookmarker's Notes
One's a shy, nerdy Gamestop employee, the other a rich and trendy fashion model (who's still lowkey nerdy). Somehow, they make it work.
This is a well-thought out AU. All the MHA references/characters stay true to form but have just enough differences pertaining to a modern setting, which makes their inclusion function perfectly for the plot. In particular, I loved Bakugo and Deku's dialogue-it's also accurate to who they are in canon, but has enough discrepancies within the fic that it never grows stale. The story is also entertaining in general, a lighthearted read for the most dour of days. There's so many fluffy moments that you'll practically get cavities from reading it-or, at the very least, have your cheeks hurt from smiling so much, like I did.

Summary
When she looks at that walking corpse, Meltlilith feels nothing but a urge to crush it.

Bookmarker's Notes
Two similar SE.RA.PHs, two Meltliliths' diverging thoughts about a lost bullet.
Both stories contain rich wording. They examine Melt's encounters with Emiya Alter, describing her reflections while she's in the midst of those scenes-to great effect. The overall story is left on a moving, perhaps poignant, note.

Summary
Self-indulgent and noncanon. A short story on how past Mozart and Antonio may have interacted with one another before their lives as Heroic Spirits.

Bookmarker's Notes
Weaves elements of Fate Grand Order and elements from their real life selves. Short and sweet, capturing what might've been their dynamic in their past lives perfectly.
Definitely requires an understanding of FGO beforehand. Salieri and Mozart's personalities-along with their backstories as Servants-and Lostbelt 1 are salient to this story.
