Y/n L/n, an 18 year old teenager who usually wore a cold and rude demeanour towards everyone she encountered. In the public library of NYC, she encountered a certain blonde and slowly started seeing him as a friend which she resented at first. After sticking up together with each other as moral support and acquaintances, they realise they have more things in common other than being book nerds and friends. The fact they're somehow both connected to the Corsican Mafia doesn't go unnoticed either and they plot a revenge against their enemy. ___________ ⚠️TW: suicide, rape, depression ⚠️ (I'll be talking about bitter subjects like these in my book, the consequences off the events that played in Ash's and y/n's life since banana fish isn't exactly a happy show.) This book is based on Banana Fish, so I'll assume you're reading this after watching the show. So I don't own the characters nor the main story plot. The plot is mostly based on Banana Fish but altered by y/n, who's kinda based on me. Oh and this book leans in to a somewhat poc and female reader! ------- Begin date: 8th january End date: 4th July

Y/n was looking for answers, and Yut Lung for happiness. The day they crossed paths was both a blessing and a curse. Started: 1.19.22 Ended: 10.25.23 Yut Lung x FEM! Reader

'Beneath his dangling feet, the drop is far and the ground is hard, cracked concrete. The worn soles of his Chuck Taylor's would provide little relief. The laces would snap at his ankles in the wind and the red would be but a blur in motion.' 'It's okay, though, really. Nobody needs to know him well, anymore. There's nothing spectacular to offer. It's better this way. Better for people to not know him and leave him be than know him and hate him.' 'It's as if the world is holding its breath, preparing for the creation of their future relationship. Like this moment, depending upon Ash's decision, is a precipice. A catalyst. The tipping point for all change to occur. Ash feels it in his gut. His heart. He wonders if Eiji does, too.' ~~~ They meet and suddenly the world feels a whole lot different.

After Dino's death, Ash handed over all the documents and information he had on the Banana Fish drug, Dino's crime network and child prostitution ring and all the people on his payroll over to the police. In return he got immunity from prosecution which meant that after being the key witness in the trial that changed New York forever, all charges against him would be dropped and he would be free. Now, Ash was free which was what he had been fighting for for the last three years with only one goal in mind - to see Eiji again. But how would he contact him when Eiji had assumed he was dead? How would he explain it and apologize for all the pain he caused him? What if he moved on or hated him? Or worse, had forgotten about him? With Max's encouragement, Ash still tries to contact Eiji, hoping he gives him a second chance now that he is free... A new year is a good moment to start over, right? Will Eiji feel the same? With a happy ending, of course✨
