Summary
Due to progressive pushback, the International Skating Association (ISU) has decided to allow same-gender pairs to skate in competitions for the first time in history.
Kenma has been waiting for this day his entire life.
To be clear, though—Kenma is not a pairs skater. He has never skated in a pairs competition in his life, but he’s going to, because he’s going to become one of the first ever Japanese figure skaters to skate with a male partner in an official competition.
Kuroo, on the other hand, couldn’t give two shits about the new ISU update. Yay for gay rights and progress, but he’s an actual pairs skater with an established female partner who just up and quit the sport altogether out of nowhere, leaving him high and dry for the next season. How is he supposed to get to the Olympics without a skating partner?
Kenma—a man Kuroo has never met before—has some ideas that might solve his problem, all of which include the two of them skating together for the next season. After all, what could possibly go wrong when trying to make history challenging gender norms in a conservative country through an international athletic competition?
… It’s going to be a very long season.

Summary
“Your thoughts are so loud,” Hajime mumbled beside him, his voice lazy with exhaustion that Oikawa couldn’t relate to.
“Sorry, must be the fact that I’m sleeping shirtless next to a stranger in a strange house in the middle of nowhere,” Oikawa bit back instinctually.
Hajime just snorted at him, as if he was making a joke. “‘S’not that bad. Who knows? Maybe a bit of the country life could do you some good.”
“Yeah? According to who?”
“Well you did run away from home,” Hajime pointed out, and, well, yeah, Oikawa couldn’t really argue with that point. “B’sides, doesn’t seem like life has treated you too kindly so far. Change of scenery might not be the worst thing in the world.”
---
Or: Oikawa Tooru, J-Pop idol extraordinaire and the most popular celebrity in the country, is at his absolute wits end with how his life has turned out. He’s miserable, depressed, traumatized, and unable to see a future where anything gets better. The solution, he decides, is running away and ending his life. He isn’t exactly grateful to end up in the countryside with the farmer’s boy, Iwaizumi Hajime, instead, but you know. He’ll get there in time.

Summary
“ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!”
“Now, now, Kuroo! Remember, I have to go out on stage in fifteen minutes, so-”
“I thought it was a joke! I heard from the other trainees, and I seriously thought it was a joke! But you know, after that conversation we had last week, I wasn’t sure! So I came to check, just to be absolutely sure, because surely there was no way in Hell you gave our CEO an ultimatum to get a trainee to perform at your world tour in front of this many people. WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING MAKING AKAASHI PERFORM WITH YOU, BOKUTO?!”
---
Or: Bokuto Koutarou (AKA: ACE) is a world-famous J-Pop idol two months shy of embarking on his next world tour while Akaashi Keiji is an investigative reporter gone undercover as a trainee at Bokuto’s entertainment agency with the goal of investigating idol mistreatment. And then Akaashi meets his idol. And then all those plans get fucked up.

Summary
Suga gasped as his eyes filled with more tears. “Oikawa I- I fucked up. I fucked up, holy shit. I’m fucked. I’m screwed.”
“Suga, wha-”
“It was Mr. Sawamura.”
“... what… was Mr. Sawamura?”
“The- the guy in the closet! It was Mr. Sawamura!”
Oikawa paused, letting that information sink in. “You… the guy you just made out with in a closet… was our boss, CEO Sawamura Daichi?”Basically, Suga, personal assistant to CEO Sawamura Daichi, is absolutely fucked after he accidentally almost hooks up with his boss in a closet at a Halloween party.

Summary
“Sometimes violence doesn’t give us the best outcome, and sometimes it does.”
Kuroo’s life just got infinitely better. He’s out of a job as a teaching assistant (finally), getting back together with all of his friends, and he gets to infiltrate the yakuza on a new mission, which honestly sounds more like a vacation than a job to him. Everything is going fantastic.
Until it isn’t.
Kozume Kenma is mostly to blame for that.

How to Seduce Your Best Friend: A Horrible Guide by Kenma by Koushicore (Hopeishope)
Fandoms: Haikyuu!!

Summary
Kenma's life is, to put it blunt, pretty fucking sad, and he likes to blame that on the fact that he cut off all contact with his childhood friend, Kuroo Tetsurou, after he got into a relationship with someone else because (big surprise) Kenma is bad at handling his feelings. And, as a cherry on top, now Kuroo is getting married and Kenma is invited to the wedding. He's not going. In fact he never plans on seeing Kuroo ever again.
Until he wakes up in high school and is forced to relive everything that led up to him cutting Kuroo out of his life, and this time he's not sure what the fuck he's supposed to do.

Summary
“Real influence is how someone can change the outcome of anything simply by existing in that space… What will you do? Who will you tell, if you tell anyone? Does it even matter? Because really, no matter what you do, my presence here has already deviated the outcome. That’s influence.”
Kenma would never admit to being emotionally affected by anything, but some (Bokuto) would say he was a bit paranoid when it came to making sure everything was exactly the way it was supposed to be. A war between the three yakuza syndicates populating Tokyo definitely wasn’t the way things were supposed to be, and that being the least of Kenma’s problems was somehow even worse.
