Summary
Born to a family of swindlers, Miya Atsumu spends his days picking pockets, conning nobles, and lifting precious gems. But after a series of his mistakes cost the family good money, he finds himself eager to prove he's still worth his seat at the table.
Opportunity strikes when his father returns from the Sakusa estate with a scheme to steal their fortune from right under their noses, a scheme that requires Atsumu's charm and expertise at its head.
The job should be simple: befriend Sakusa Kiyoomi, take his key to the safe, and steal the jewels within.
But Sakusa's not what Atsumu expects, and the closer they get, the harder it becomes to follow through with the plan.

Summary
“Or what about Ushijima?”
That catches Kiyoomi’s attention, and he stops in the middle of the street to turn around and scowl at Atsumu. “What about Ushijima?”
Atsumu must tilt his head back to smirk up at Kiyoomi from beneath the visor of his cap. “He’s not workin’ on quicks. You’d be a step ahead of him if ya did. He might even raise an eyebrow in surprise or somethin’ equally as scandalous.”
Kiyoomi stares at him, narrows his gaze as he scrutinises Atsumu’s face, the challenge in the upturned corners of his lips. “Are you attempting to manipulate me, Miya?” he asks.
“I dunno. Is it workin’?”
“Kind of.”
“Then yeah, I guess.”
______________________
When Kiyoomi and Atsumu accidentally pull off a minus-tempo quick during practice, Atsumu convinces Kiyoomi to practice it for the new season.
It's sort of inevitable that he convinces Kiyoomi to fall in love with him too.- Language:

Summary
“Miya Atsumu,” drawls a voice Atsumu’s heard once or twice or twenty times whilst watching post-match interviews. He stops abruptly in the doorway and follows the voice to a face that plagues his social media feeds and the pages of Volleyball Monthly, a face that’s frustratingly better-looking in person without the lines of an Olympic net between them spoiling the view. “The benchwarmers get prettier by the season.”
Atsumu tucks his hands into his sweatpants pockets, straightens out his shoulders, and narrows his eyes. He’s done his homework for this moment, finessed information out of Kageyama and Hinata, and spent more than a few collective hours on the CA San Juan player profile webpage.
“Oikawa Tooru,” he says slowly. “Surprised they let a scrub that couldn’t make it to nationals in here. Didn’t think the barrel was so empty they’d hafta start scrapin’ it already. Onigashira musta been busy, huh?”

Summary
Iwaizumi Hajime was an undercover officer with a single objective: Infiltrate the Seijoh Syndicate of the Yakuza and tear them down from the inside out. His primary target was the boss, Oikawa Tooru. The job itself was simple enough, until Iwaizumi got in too deep and absconded not only from the mission, but from the city itself.
Now, two years later, he’s dragged back into Tokyo’s unsavory underworld. A grisly string of murders is plaguing the city, and the culprits are most definitely Yakuza. The problem is discovering which Syndicate is responsible, and Iwaizumi – the leading expert on Yakuza affairs – is the man most suited for the job.
Despite his determination to stay away from Tokyo – and from Oikawa – Iwaizumi finds himself right back in the middle of Seijoh, and it feels a lot more like home than he’d care to admit.

Summary
Atsumu has a long history of pissing people off, but this time he’s gone too far. Someone wants him dead, and although he doesn’t know who or why, it becomes clear very quickly that both he and Osamu are in danger. After a couple of close calls, Kita - the Kumicho of Inarizaki - decides it’s not safe for the two of them to stay in Hyogo; not until he finds out who placed the hit and eliminates them.
Atsumu reluctantly finds himself in Tokyo, taken in by a yakuza group that’s nothing like Inarizaki. The Black Jackals are a different breed, more lethal than he’s used to, and Sakusa Kiyoomi is the worst of them all. Of course that’s who Atsumu gets stuck with, and he and Sakusa are in constant competition for who hates each other more.
Tokyo should be a safe haven but between Atsumu’s bloody new assignments, the lingering threat on his life, and all the days trapped with Sakusa, Atsumu isn’t sure he’ll make it out of Tokyo alive.

Summary
' "I've never played Mario Kart," Kageyama says. The room goes dead silent. Everyone turns to stare at him, and his usual frown deepens.
"You've never," Suga says, sounding horrified, "played Mario Kart?"
"No," Kageyama confirms. "Should I have?"
A choking sound garbles its way out of Suga's throat as he grabs onto Daichi's arm. Daichi looks stricken.
"We failed him," he whispers.'

Kageyama becomes slightly too invested in Mario Kart.

Summary
'When Hinata woke in the evening, he half expected to see the wild man mysteriously gone, as though he'd never been there in the first place.
But instead, there he lay, fast asleep. Shafts of deep golden sunlight fell across the man's sleeping form, and Hinata stared at him, transfixed. He had long, dark lashes and a finely shaped, straight nose, and low cheekbones with a proud jawline, all of which started to fill out some sort of stereotypical profile for a rugged jungle king.
If ever there had been someone created to survive the unforgiving landscape of the jungle, it was him.'
--
The rainforest expedition is to last a full year—365 days of living under the lush canopy of trees.
Danger looms. Adventure awaits. The jungle calls. Hinata Shouyou has never wanted anything more.
Or so he thinks, until he meets a curious stranger there, who shows him what it means to be truly needed.

Summary
Miya Atsumu’s been sitting pretty as the top ranked Bounty Hunter in the city for years, but staunch rival Sakusa Kiyoomi has been steadily catching up to him as of late, making Atsumu’s life difficult in more ways than one.
With the city entering a state of turmoil, and a mastermind hellbent on wiping out the whole guild of Hunters, they’ll have to set aside their differences and work together if they want to make it out alive.
But that’s easier said than done, when neither wants to be the first to give ground.

Summary
Kageyama is acting really weird.
Before this, Hinata wouldn’t have considered himself well-versed enough in Kageyama’s varying levels of weirdness to notice anything strange, but something’s definitely up.

Summary
'Hinata is already suspended, flawless form. The lines of his body are smooth, flowing; feet kicked back, arm outstretched to the sky that he could reach with wings no one can see—but that Kageyama knows have always been there, sprouted from his shoulder blades where his back curves in a perfect arc to meet them.
For the past several years, Kageyama has been living in freefall.
As he watches Hinata fly, his feet touch the ground again.'
--
Kageyama returns to Tokyo from playing abroad, to fix his mistake from four years earlier. Hinata is not ready to be patched back together yet.

Summary

Summary
'Neighbor-kun's name was Kageyama.
He finally had a name. He was way hotter up close than he had been from one apartment over. His voice was rough and husky, and he was very tall, and he smelled amazing. And he had been, unbelievably, watching Hinata back all this time.
And he was a total dick. If he thought Hinata was going to be the first one to admit defeat, he had another thing coming.
Fortunately, Hinata had a plan.'
--
Hinata's next-door neighbor is a problem and a half, and Hinata intends to deal with him accordingly.

Summary
Tobio braced himself and stood, gathering Hinata’s warm body close. Hinata’s weight settled against him, strengthening the impression he always had at these times: that he was collecting a part of himself, severed by some weird circumstance. In these moments he couldn’t help feeling that Hinata belonged to him, and as long as he didn’t talk about the impression out loud it harmed no one. As it was Hinata mumbled a little, curling into him the way he’d anticipated.
Without a word he carried Hinata to Hinata’s cluttered bedroom and laid him in bed, wrestling blankets out from under him to cover him with. Hinata woke, then, a little, but only to blink at him sleepily and mumble something that sounded like thanks. He turned away, and Tobio returned to his own bedroom, turning off all the lights on the way. That restlessness from earlier threatened to rise up and strangle him.
Living with Hinata was nice—but only most of the time. Only when he didn’t feel like this.

Summary
There was no reason to be scared it was just a movie oh God that was a LOT OF BLOOD -
In which Karasuno watches a scary movie and Kageyama sees lurking monsters in every shadow, Hinata has the logic of horror movies down (you're doomed if you split up), and they have a trainwreck of a sleep-over.
I guess there's a few spoilers in here if you don't read the manga?

Summary
It’s not until she’s brought a basil and strawberry sponge cake to Neville Longbottom and his new girlfriend, Hannah Abbott, a dozen rhubarb hand-pies to Luna and Xenophilius Lovegood, and another basket of ganache-covered muffins to Dean and Seamus, that Hermione admits to herself what she’s actually doing: she’s making a thing of this. It’s a veritable PTSD tour. With pastries. And hand-skimmed clotted cream. And she has no idea why she’s doing it, but it’s becoming very apparent that she is.
Sometimes you're sad. Sometimes you need dessert. And sometimes, it's a little of both.

Summary
Hermione Granger had been asked—and agreed—to do many absurd things since learning she was a witch, usually involving Harry Potter. This long list included, in no particular order, smuggling baby dragons, being placed unconscious at the bottom of a lake surrounded by merpeople, and traveling back in time to fly an escaped convict to safety on the back of a mythical creature. But returning to a Death Eater-controlled Hogwarts pretending to be Daphne Greengrass may have been the most ridiculous yet.
