Summary
chiaroscuro: the interplay of darkness and light.
--
“We’re called guardians,” Kuro says. “Over time, people have had different names for us, but it really all comes back to that. We’re shifters, shaper-changers… the name doesn’t really matter. What does is that we’re supposed to keep the two kinds of magical forces in the world balanced.” He rattles this off with a roll of his eyes, as though it’s something he’s heard many times over.
Kenma thinks back to the curling snake made of shadows, to Sugawara’s words: People who shine brightly attract a lot of darkness.
“Shadows and light,” he says, not quite a question.
Kuro nods approvingly. “Basically, yeah. There’s a bit more to it than that—shadow magic is born of independence, of isolation and loneliness. Light magic is connections, the relationships between people. Most people have a low dose of both, go through their entire lives not realizing there’s magic in the world.”
“But not you,” Kenma prompts.
“Unfortunately.”

Summary
Kenma had been love with Kuroo for years. But he couldn't exactly tell him. The alpha deserved a better omega than him anyway. So he's happy with the way things are, letting himself pine in secret. Kuroo doesn't make it easy though.
“I don’t care.” Kenma sighs, not looking up from where he was slowly making progress terraforming a cliff on his island. “Just not that fucking alpha bar again.”
“So you do care.” Kuroo chuckles before it falters. “Also that was an accident and I got you out of there quick.”
Kenma just rolls his eyes. “Just hurry up and pick.” He was starting to get hungry just talking about it.
“Yeah yeah fine okay.” He doesn’t look up as he hears Kuroo putter around their apartment, getting his coat and shoes as well as car keys. He himself had been ready for about half an hour at this point, shoving his stuff on as soon as Kuroo had suggested they go out. He should have known though Kuroo would dither. He always did.
Saving the game, he turns his switch off and stretches as he stands. Grabbing his phone from where it was charging he pockets it and goes to the door, waiting as Kuroo slides his jacket on.

Summary
Be careful what you say in the live chat of KeNeko’s streams. If you’re rude, you just might incur the wrath of Kenma’s knight in shining armor, the persistent and charming Chemistry King.
Really, Kenma just wants the confidence to ask his biggest fan what his real name is. Kuroo just wants to fall in love.
The universe has big plans for them.
A Kuroken sequel to As Seen On TV

KeNeko and the Chemistry King by kurapikas_chains

Summary
It’s a modest two-bedroom in the western suburbs, far enough from the bustling crowds to be affordable but still counting, technically, as Tokyo. They’re noisy before they sleep but quiet when they rise, shuffling mutedly out of the door for joint morning runs before bursting back into the apartment for joint morning showers. Shouyou cooks breakfast while Kageyama packs their lunch and gym bags, and they never share a goodbye kiss because they always leave together.
It’s warm and cozy and disgustingly domestic, and it’s probably everything Shouyou’s ever dreamed of.
Except, Kenma thinks irately, Kageyama doesn’t actually live here.
===
Shouyou moves in with Kenma when he ends up in Tokyo for college. Kenma subsequently realizes that half the things in Shouyou’s boxes are actually Kageyama’s because he should have fucking known.

Summary
"Well, I bet I’ll be seeing more of you in the future then, huh? But hopefully soon it’ll be me watching you on stage," Tetsurou tells him.
Something flickers across Kenma’s face - something like bright, childlike hope. “D’you actually think so?"
“Call me crazy,” Tetsurou says, grinning a stupid grin that shows all his teeth, “but I’d be willing to bet on it." // Tetsurou Kuroo, the lead singer of alternative band Neko, meets Kenma Kozume, aspiring musician, at one of his shows, a meeting that sets into motion a series of events that change their lives - and the alternative music scene - forever. Or, the early 2000s pop punk band AU.
