to touch the earth I wasn’t part of by tenderhooked

Summary
Azula is returned to the palace two years and a half to the day that she left it. The Sages escort her to the steps as if she’s a child in need of hand-holding, and then leave her there as if an idiot has told them that she can be trusted alone.
She’s left waiting only a moment before the doors open, and there’s the idiot himself.
“Azula,” says Zuzu. Ridiculously, he’s smiling.
More ridiculously, she feels her mouth nearly pull into its mirror. It doesn’t, of course. She has far too much self-control for such a display.
But it is an almost-thing.
or: azula and zuko, and how to live when the war is over and the shadows in your home have gone.

Summary
“He told me he could give me the green I needed to get me out of Whale Island,” Gon explains. “But this isn’t the green that I was thinking of.”
Killua watches the tiny frog on the railing wave its limbs somberly, barely catching itself before it teeters off the side of the balcony. “You’re a prince,” he manages. ‘You have enough money of your own.”
Gon nods. “Oh, I know,” he says cheerfully. “But I always feel bad asking Aunt Mito for favors. Besides, I don’t think she’d let me take more than my monthly allowance if I said I was planning to abandon my princely responsibilities with it.”it's a pretty simple tale, really. ex-assassin meets prince. prince turns ex-assassin into a cat. ex-assassin and prince have to figure out a way to turn back before midnight. aside from the Zoldyck name hovering over ex-assassin's head and a curse hovering over the prince, nothing could go wrong, right?

The Smartest Man In The Room by thebigboobtheory
Fandoms: The Big Bang Theory (TV), Young Sheldon (TV)
27 Sep 2026
Tags
Summary
Sheldon Cooper has spent his entire life being told that he’s different.
A genius. A prodigy. The smartest person in the room.
But as the years pass, being exceptional becomes less impressive to the people around him, and more expected. What was once celebrated becomes an obligation, and every new accomplishment only raises the standard he is expected to meet.
From his childhood in Texas to his years at Caltech, Sheldon slowly learns that being brilliant doesn’t make him immune to loneliness, family dysfunction, or the weight of other people’s expectations.
And somewhere along the way, he meets Amy.
An alternate-universe journey through Sheldon’s life, his relationships, his successes, and the things he was never taught how to carry.

Summary
“I didn’t know you took care of your nails, Kageyama,” He says and Tobio blinks.
“Ah, um, I do it because it helps with my setting,” He answers, and averts his eyes when Sugawara’s face softens.
“That’s very dedicated of you,” The other setter says, eyes twinkling when Tobio looks back up. He feels the tips of his ears get hot.
“T-thanks,” He mumbles, hurrying to pack up his things and trying to ignore the warm feeling in his chest. Then Hinata yells across the whole gym that he’s going to race him back home, and Tobio immediately grabs his bag and zips to catch up with the stupid cheater that already got a head start.

Summary
“You don’t what?” Shouyou asks.
Kageyama looks uncomfortable enough to crawl out of his skin. He rubs his knuckles against his chin, roughly, and then tells the floor, “You’re sick, and you’re sad, and I don’t want you to be either of those things.”
Shouyou blinks once, then twice. And then, embarrassingly, he bursts into tears.
They could have played for longer. They deserved to play for longer.
Shouyou doesn’t know why he expected volleyball to be fair. And it’s all the more infuriating because it is the fairest sport in the whole world. Two teams. One net. Six players on each side, none of which get to hold the ball for more than a couple seconds at a time, and those seconds mean everything.
In which Shouyou and Tobio share a meal after the world ends. Or after the match with Kamomedai. It's all a matter of semantics, really.

Summary
Tobio hasn't been feeling the best at this training camp, but decides that he better push through if he is going to nail that toss. He'll be fine. Probably.
Or, why repeatedly running up hills during Tokyo summer is a terrible idea.

Summary
Tooru makes a noise of disbelief, closing his bento. Because— really? Tobio-chan?!
Tobio-chan is his rival. His competitor for starting setter. His very troublesome, delinquent kouhai who got kicked off his middle school volleyball team for fighting.

6 Times Shoyo Hinata Won (And One Time He Maybe Sorta Didn't) by izzy_the_yachi
Fandoms: Haikyuu!!
02 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
Shoyo Hinata has never, ever, been called "patient". Not once. So, when he realises, with very little warning, that he's been in love with Tobio Kageyama, his bestest friend, for three years, the words that come out of his mouth aren't appropriate. He doesn't say "I like you." Instead, he rushes ahead to something that usually is asked many years into a relationship.
"Marry me."
-
A 5+1 fic that got slightly away from me and became 6+1 but it's okay!!

Summary
Instead, deaf to his seatmate’s suffering, Hinata leaned on Ikeda’s armrest and dropped his usual chipper voice by several octaves, staring intently into Kageyama’s eyes with such a playful yet tense glint that Ikeda had trouble deciphering its meaning.
“I thought you liked it when I climbed all over you.”
Kageyama must’ve been in some kind of mental sync with Ikeda, because him spraying water over the back of the seat in front of him was the exact kind of reaction Ikeda would’ve produced had he been the one drinking.
Excuse Ikeda’s language but what the fuck did that mean, honestly?
...
Or in which in Hinata Shouyou is excited to return to Japan after his wedding, Kageyama is socially awkward as always, and a long-suffering salesman has to shoulder the herculean task of sitting between them on a twenty hour flight. Surely, Ikeda will make it off this flight in one piece... right?

Summary
Kageyama honest-to-god smiled. Not just a competitive smirk or a feigned grin for a photo op-- but an open, genuine smile. Diego nearly dropped his water bottle.
And if the smile wasn’t shocking enough, Diego noticed something as Kageyama pulled off his practice shirt; a thin black cord looping around his neck, starkly contrasting against pale skin. Which was surprising enough (he didn’t peg Kageyama as the jewelry type), but what hung from the bottom of the necklace stopped Diego in his tracks.
There, dangling from the cord, light catching on its smooth surface, was a ring.
A fucking gold ring.
---
In which Kageyama Tobio returns from a break with a ring, and his teammates on Ali Roma scramble to figure out who the lucky lady is. -
