Le stelle si oscurano by Fiore di Giada
- Recommended by: deerhornsaresopretty
- Status: Completed (one-shot).
- Synopsis: Richter couldn't stop Raiza from falling. So he does the next best thing - reminiscence.
- Language: Italian.
- Comments: A very well done ode to Raiza. I didn't even like her, but this fic was good. Even the author admits they didn't like her/Richter yet created this very well done fic.

Morte di un eroe by Fiore di Giada
- Recommended by: deerhornsaresopretty
- Status: Completed (one-shot).
- Synopsis: Balbas makes peace with his death.
- Language: Italian.
- Comments: This fic shows another side to Balbas that the show barely touched upon, giving him some much-needed extra screentime and character development.
- Tags: Enemies to friends, sacrifice, major character death.
Il peso della vergogna by Fiore di Giada
- Recommended by: deerhornsaresopretty
- Status: Completed (one-shot).
- Synopsis: A different look at Richter's suicide
- Language: Italian.
- Comments: I know the show already showed us Richter's ordeal over realizing he caused the war, but I much appreciate this fic for noting that Richter also willingly led Raiza, Aizam and Balbas into the flames, and acknowledging them in his last words (which he didn't do in the anime) is a nice touch.

Le ultime lacrime dell'artista by Fiore di Giada
- Recommended by: deerhornsaresopretty
- Status: Completed (one-shot).
- Synopsis: The last thoughts of Kyoshiro's artist father, before the fateful car accident.
- Language: Italian.
- Comments: My god, this was surprisingly dark. The re-interpretation of Kyoshiro's father's death was excellently written, I could have never seen it after initially assuming the premise was something sweet based on him going on about his love for his son. The phrase "Non ho la forza di spostarmi" will stay with me til the end of the day.

Luce nel buio by Fiore di Giada
- Recommended by: deerhornsaresopretty
- Status: Completed (one-shot).
- Synopsis: Kyoshiro has always criticized Kazuya for his attachment to Erika. But once he experiences loss himself, he understands.
- Language: Italian
- Comments: As someone who didn't like Kyoshiro for most of the show's run and considered him an unlikable jerkass, I think this fic has done a wonderul job of making us see his perspective.

Tra le ombre della sera by Fiore di Giada
- Recommended by: deerhornsaresopretty
- Status: Completed (one-shot).
- Synopsis: After the war is over, Richter takes a page out of Erika's book. And Kyoshiro takes one out of Kazuya's.
- Pairing: Kyoshiro x Richter.
- Language: Italian
- Comments: The thought of Kyoshiro seeing Richter like that never crossed my mind, mainly because for most of the anime it focused on Kazuya/Erika. But this fic shed a light on them both that I never considered.
- Tags: Canon-divergence, fluff, no smut, some intimate physical contact.
