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 isnβt 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)

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 2 - A Song Without Words by @starlikeknight with artist @xeccentricΒ and beta @cryptidloch-ness
Summary: He couldnβt remember anything; not where he was or how heβd gotten there, not anything about the strange creatures that chased him or why people seemed to look through him. He couldnβt even remember the man, or rather the god, whose blue eyes glowed and settled on him with a heavy, complicated sadness.
βYukineβ, the god had called him, with a familiarity and a fondness that made him feel warm. But even so, he couldnβt 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.

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 doesnβt 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. Whatβs 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 isnβt 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 doβ¦ invite this kid into his apartment? Well, heβs 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 heβd gotten during his first childhood and sheβs 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. Heβs 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 wouldnβt be good for him if one of Fatherβs contacts recognized the Yaboku Assassin. It didnβt matter how remote the chances of that happening were. Yato wasnβt going to risk his freedom.Β
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 Yatoβs 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 anotherβs names and say them in earnest. That way, theyβll never be apart and can always find their way back home.
July 14 - while you were dreamingΒ by blueandgold / @blue-and-gold-things with artists @asin-ka and @ayyydrie
Summary: When her grandmotherβs 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 doesnβt know what heβs saving for. Everything changes when they fall asleep, only to wake up in each otherβs 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 Hiyoriβs 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 artistsΒ @crystalline.arts (Instagram) and @mitraki and beta @cryptidloch-nessΒ
Summary:Β She promised she wouldnβt 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

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 townβs 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.Β
July 21 - Lunchtime lovers! by @fauvra with artist @cydoniart and beta swide
Summary: When Hiyoriβs food went missing from the company fridge, she didnβt 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 itβs 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 canβt help but think theyβre wrong about himβ¦

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 arenβt 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 Fatherβs Wishlist. She isnβt 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 @yuwukineβs 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.

(Miss Kobayaskiβs Dragon Maid AU)
July 31 - beheld by hiyoris_scarf / @kofubishaΒ with artists @viinas and @rottenmatcha (Twitter)
Summary: The young gods must listen to the old. This was one of Bishamonβs 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 guidepostβs efforts, Bishamon preferred to learn through experience. That was how she met the binbΕgami.
