    Summary

    “You know,” Olruggio says, roughly. He doesn’t move to take Qifrey’s hand again. “You know. You can’t not know, Qifrey.”

    Qifrey just looks at him. “I do.”

    The rain continues falling.

    (And so Olruggio forgets. And he inevitably figures it out again, because of course he does; and he inevitably chooses to forget again, and again, and again, because his heart is always the same. The story is always the same. Like a tale from under a silverwood tree, like a myth from the days of old, not so much tied by the constraints of the narrative so much as being narrative itself. Antigone must bury her brother. Iphigenia must be put to death. At a thousand turns, in a thousand ways, Orpheus must turn, and he must look, again, and again.

    And Olruggio forgets.)

    There is an old story about a witch and a silverwood tree.

    Summary

    When Maomao's friend Gyokuyou gets pregnant, it doesn't surprise anyone when she gets engaged - but that's only the start. The wedding promises to be a complicated, high-society affair with a heavily scrutinized guest list. But Gyokuyou wants Maomao to attend - and there's only one way she can.

    Maomao's not an actress, but surely faking a relationship can't be that difficult, can it?

    Summary

    It’s the way Kageyama’s eyes linger on Hinata as he bounds away just a few moments longer than necessary, the way Hinata’s jealous huffs are tinged with fondness, the way their fingertips gently brush as they walk home together after practice.

    It’s not a significant change — he’s somewhat confident that they had been doing that in their first year already — but everything happens a little more often, a little more weight behind it each time.

    There’s no way they’re aware of their feelings, Tsukishima decides. At this stage, their — ugh — affection for each other probably isn’t that strong, especially not in comparison to the symbiotic volleyball nonsense they’ve got on.

    He’ll check back in six years or so. They might be closer to figuring it out then.

    Five times someone was sure Kageyama and Hinata weren’t dating, and one time they really weren’t.

    Summary

    Kageyama Tobio is a professional racing driver, the new rookie sensation who's about to take home the Piston Cup in his first year.

    But a race run recklessly leads to an unprecedented three-way tie, and a tie breaker race is set for a week's time. On the way to the International Speedway, Kageyama gets lost, and ends up crashing into Karasuno Springs - a small country town in the middle of nowhere, ruining their main road in the process. Forced to stay and fix it, Kageyama feels the whole thing is a waste of time, until he meets the town's handyman - Hinata Shouyou, a local dirt track racer.

    They're very different, but a shared passion for racing draws Kageyama in, as he tries to work out why Hinata is just a handyman in the first place despite his talent for racing. And over the course of the week he ends up discovering that maybe there's more to life than winning races all by himself.

    (A racing AU; based on the story of Pixar's Cars, but everybody is human.)

    Summary

    Hinata tilts his head ever so slightly, eyes sparking. “Bluffing’s a game, Kageyama, you just need to learn how to play it right.”

    Kageyama Tobio is a successful defence attorney with everything he needs: a growing career, a steady queue of clients, and a reputation that's going to open doors for him. It's all going well - on paper.

    Until one day, when a teenage girl arrives at his office begging him to get her brother off the hook for a murder charge, and Kageyama finds himself defending Hinata Shouyou: a poker player with a reputation for being undefeated.

    It should be just another case. But Kageyama, realising that his life in law is perhaps too lonely, too stale, keeps this one client in his life. Because something about Hinata is addicting, and maybe this is just the gamble that he needs to take.

    (A lawyer AU; based on the events in the Ace Attorney series.)
