    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.)

    It takes him almost three decades to add Olympian to the list.

    Summary

    Kenma reluctantly spoons vanilla into his mouth, watching the sun set. And when everything is dusted in stripes of pale orange and purple and gold, he glances at Kuroo’s profile muddled in the shadows of the descending sun, and wonders whether he had somehow accidentally made friends with an impressive sort of boy. The ice-cream melted under his thumb feels maddeningly sticky, like he’ll never wash it away thoroughly enough and it would leave its mark wherever he touched before he could.

    Kenma has never really thought of anyone as good-looking before, never really cared enough about these things to notice them. But Kuroo is objectively so, in this light, in this angle—maybe all the time.

    (A Kuroo and Kenma life story, told in five acts).

    Summary

    Osamu whipped off his apron and dashed around the counter. The customers were staring, he felt them, but he just didn't care. He rushed toward Suna and yanked him into a hug that knocked the breath out of them both.

    Suna gave a weak laugh and wrapped his arms around Osamu’s back. “Happy to see me?”

    “’Course I am.” Osamu tightened his grip, just to feel the heat of him. It had been months since he'd had the chance. “I always am. I wasn’t expectin’ you ‘til next week.”

    “I took some time off,” said Suna. He smelled like home, more than home ever had. “Thought I deserved it after our season.”

    “You didn’t tell me.”

    “I wanted to surprise you.”

    Osamu huffed a laugh and finally pulled away. He wanted to hold on longer, wanted to kiss Suna until neither of them could breathe. “Consider me surprised.”
