Summary
Nishinoya is always telling Asahi that he just needs to be a little more outgoing, a little more daring, a little less...Asahi, to make it through school in Tokyo, but when Asahi finds himself waking up the morning after Karasuno's National third place in bed with his ex-coach, he doesn't think that's exactly what Nishinoya had in mind.
At least being wretchedly hungover negates his tendency to doubt, and he and Keishin emerge with their friendship intact. Because shy guys like him don't get nice boyfriends in the electric, eclectic, exhausting capital, and Asahi was the ace, so he has to fit in and overcome any wall in his way. He doesn't have time for what-ifs and if-onlys - even if everything he wants is back home in Miyagi in the crooked curve of a crow coach's smile.
Asahi's so busy trying to force himself to be a new person in a new home that he forgets something fundamental about his old one: he's never alone. When you're on court, when it matters, you've got people beside you to help you keep the ball in the air.
A story about growing up, moving out, and realising that sometimes home is where you left it after all.

Summary
He’d laughed when Tooru said his coach had told him to start yoga to help his flexibility, but when Utsui-san had hummed thoughtfully at the idea, when he’d seen how months of balance and breathing and poise had turned Tooru’s already elegant body into something even more dangerously streamlined, he could only be grateful to the cantankerous old Spaniard.
Plus, Tooru can get both ankles over Hajime’s shoulders again for the first time since they were twenty.

Summary
Years of Tooru’s unpredictable hours have let Hajime sleep through nearly anything, so Tooru doesn’t tiptoe much around the bathroom as he brushes his teeth and pulls on pyjamas. He nudges one of Hajime’s helmets out of the way as he comes out so neither of them breaks their neck in the morning, and despite the sand in his eyes and the rush in his blood, Tooru pauses for a moment to stand by the bed and gaze at his husband, limned in silver moonlight slipping through the crack in their curtain.
His heart finally begins to slow as he finally slips under the covers, skin-close to Hajime’s warm, strong back.

Summary
“Huh?” is all he can manage, the screen too bright in the darkness of their bedroom to even see the caller.
“Koutarou,” and it sounds devastated.
The last time Koutarou’s best friend sounded like this, he’d come home after a massive fight with Tsukishima to find the apartment empty of all the salty bastard’s belongings. God, what fresh hell is this?
(But everything turns out fine, mostly because Akaashi Keiji said it would. Who is Koutarou to argue?)

Summary
There are plenty of reasons people don’t like walking into work early on a Monday morning, but Kei can safely say that thinking you might find a dead body on the floor of your workroom is not one of them. Not only are the police underfoot but management is breathing down his neck, his boss is on maternity leave, the Egyptology collection needs to be inventoried, and his assistant might just die of shock himself.
Oh, and one of the detectives on the case is his ex-boyfriend.
Kei doesn't quite know which is worse: being caught up in a murder mystery in his own damn department, dealing with the idiots around him, or working with the ex he's still in love with. He might have to catch the killer to find out.

Summary
People, like hieroglyphs, can be read in various different ways and sometimes there isn't a handy three-language key to tell you what they're thinking. Kei can actually read hieroglyphs, but when that's of no help, sometimes all it takes is talking.
And maybe a stabbing.
AKA: It might take a while, but everyone's happy and very much in love because in this, I do indeed make the rules.

Summary
‘In between watching the heat mirage flicker over the asphalt road, he cast his eyes out over the sweeping white bay beneath them, decorated by clusters of colourful beach umbrellas. On days like this, he thought to himself, he could almost believe that he was where he was meant to be, that he was happy.’
Tooru was on the top of his game, the win he’d just snagged in the Portuguese beach volleyball championships only the prelude to a perfect off-season spent, he hoped, lying on a beach in Lisbon sipping Muay Thais. If his wretched heart was still half-way around the world where he’d left it, then no-one had to know that but himself. When he caught sight of a familiar face in the crowd, though, his best-laid plans began to derail. When, a few days later, he found himself roped into a road trip of international proportions, he could safely say that if nothing else, he’d learned one thing: never get between Shouyou Hinata and an adventure.

Summary
Team Argentina gets to know Iwaizumi Hajime (27) Athletic Trainer.“Iwaizumi Hajime,” Santiago sounds out. Those damn telescope eyes. “Huh. I thought his name was Iwachan?”
“Is it the wrong guy?” Mateo narrows his eyes. “No, that’s definitely him, that’s the dude from Tooru’s homescreen… is it?”
“Only one way to find out!” Santiago says cheerfully.
