Summary
Naruto had let Sasuke work out all his deep-held insecurities and fears until the supply was totally exhausted, leaving uncovered—and this was the real shocker—the things he actually wanted. Some of them he was still unwilling to ever act on (a real relationship with a guy, for one), but at least they were there, legible, articulable. Sasuke had hardly known they even still existed. Unfortunately, for that reason and many others, he’d probably owe Naruto forever.

Summary
There were many such stories, he had read, where a fisherman would fall in love with a selkie and take her coat so she would forever remain a human. They would marry, then, and likely have children.
"A happy ending," his mother had said with a soft smile, reading to him by his bedside, and quietly snuffed the candle out to tuck him in.
What a cruel thing, he had always thought. To fall in love with something so beautiful and different, only to trap it in a world where it doesn't belong.

Summary
"Levi misses Erwin in the margin between sleeping and waking. He thinks about Erwin when he steps out of a hot bath into cold air. He imagines Erwin’s new life, his new vocation, his new family, when the seasons change, or when he blows the candles out, or now, as the sun sets. The only space he does so is a space of a threshold. It does not feel good or bad. It does not feel happy or sad. Levi realises now, however, that this is not the same as it feeling nothing."
Six years after the War ends and they part ways, Levi finds himself at Erwin's door again.

In the harsh glow of the fluorescent lamps lighting the outer corridor of the apartment building, Yuki said: "This was a bad idea."
Manabe snorted. "You're the one who wanted to dress up."
"You know I never actually said that, right?"
"Well you didn't fight me super hard on it!"

Summary
One day at a time, they always said. But for Sasuke every single day was exactly the same: serving the same gruff truckers the same greasy pancakes and eggs, heading to the same gym to do the same workout, going home to stare at the same half-formed Final Draft document, then waking up the next morning to do the same thing all over again. Was that really one day at a time, or was it more like one single hellish stretched-out day that dragged on endlessly and forever? And what exactly was the point of staying clean when that was your reward?
Everybody told Naruto after Sakura called off their engagement that what he needed was a “fresh start.” Naruto’s fresh start had so far consisted of a new city where he knew nobody, a park ranger job that paid him sub-minimum-wage, an empty studio apartment in a part of town not yet gentrified enough to be out of that price range, a lot of lonely Skyping with his friends, and, now, apparently, an A.A. meeting at a Quality Inn.
--
When Naruto moves away from his hometown after a breakup, he's surprised to see someone he recognizes at his first A.A. meeting in a new city: his childhood best friend, Sasuke Uchiha.

Summary
"Hey," Konoha says, tone hushed, one day after practice when he and Bokuto end up staying behind together. "Akaashi likes you, you know?"
Bokuto is in the process of putting on a clean shirt. "Of course he does," he says, voice too close to his ears under the fabric. "We're friends!" He pulls the shirt down, freeing his head. "What," he says, suddenly self-conscious, "does someone not like me?"in which akaashi falls for bokuto first.

Summary
“Ya absolute opportunist fucker!” Atsumu shouts over the phone, stumbling out the door with his sneakers barely slipped on properly. He forgot to throw on a jacket even, dammit.
The rest of the team doubts that Bokuto’s privy to the… situation. Unlike Atsumu, they have the good sense to not pry. Bokuto’s an adult. He’s a big boy. He agrees, but his stake in this isn’t necessarily protecting Bokuto’s feelings, it’s to curse out his asshole of a twin brother.
Look, Atsumu might not have the most experience with relationship or ex-boyfriend etiquette, but really? Not even a month has passed, and his twin’s already maneuvering himself to do God knows what.
“Good mornin’ to you too, Tsumu,” Osamu drawls on the other side of the line. He already sounds done with this conversation. Oh, please.
Or: The mess that Bokuto, Akaashi, and Osamu make, wherein Atsumu Miya is somehow the levelheaded one in all of this.

Summary
“I had wondered—” Erwin coughs again, and is cowed into lowering his gaze when the Captain looks at him. He has the most scrutinising of stares. Erwin isn’t sure if he can see out of his left eye, but in that moment, it could well be penetrating his heart. “Ah, that is. In your letter, you didn’t mention much. Of what you expected from me during this session.”
The Captain takes so long to answer, that Erwin begins to think he does not feel inclined to say anything at all. He finishes his tea, and returns his cup to the tray. “What does your job usually entail?”
“Usually? Well, I might accompany a client to an event, or have dinner with them, or simply keep them company.”
“Do you have sex with them?”
“Yes.” Erwin swallows.
