Summary
-A Modern Day Volleyball Romeo and Juliet Story-
Kuguri Naoyasu meets Shibayama Yuuki before they begin high school. They are instantly drawn together into their own obit of blooming friendship and endless pining.
When things finally begin to come together romantically, they are rocked by the news of their Captains and their hateful rivalry.
Refusing to cast the other aside, they are determined to mend what is broken between the teams by leading by example; by letting their love shine like a beacon.
This is a Romeo and Juliet story with far less violence and death (none), and a lot more volleyball.
There will be angst, love, and far different from the actual Romeo and Juliet story, a happy ending. -

Summary
In his senior year of university, Sakusa Kiyoomi came out to his parents. The fallout was swift, cutting off Kiyoomi financially and socially. Now he must find an income to pay for his last year of school and then hopefully go pro with a V League team.
His cousin, Komori Motoya, suggests Kiyoomi try working for a cleaning service. He wouldn't have to deal with people directly, and he was already great at keeping his apartment spotless.
Kiyoomi agrees to give it a try and is assigned to the home of a professional athlete. The house is already fairly clean, but there is plenty of deep cleaning to do weekly. As he dusts photos frames, trophies, and nick-nacks, he begins to form an attachment to the man he doesn't even know. One day he leaves a letter complimenting the level of cleanliness he keeps and sharing that he is a college volleyball player.
When Kiyoomi arrives the next week, he is surprised to find a letter in reply.
This is a sweet little story about slowly falling in love, honest and loyal friendships, and that being true to yourself gives you the power to move forward.

Summary
"Koi no yokan" is a Japanese phrase that translates to "the premonition of love," essentially meaning the feeling you get when you first meet someone and instinctively know you will eventually fall in love with them, even if you don't feel it immediately; it's considered an "untranslatable" phrase due to the nuanced feeling it captures.
Yachi first meets Hoshiumi while at Nationals in her first year when they literally bump (slam) into each other. It's a match only the hands of fate could throw together.
Though awkward personalities, distance, and being a year apart in school, they must work to make not only their relationship strong, but to follow their own dreams as well.
This is a romantic comedy of chance encounters, loyal friendships, following your heart, and fate being an even bigger gremlin than Hoshiumi Korai himself.
Rating will increase as chapters move forward. This is a multi-chapter fic with prologue at the end.

Summary
Welcome to my Gulls and Crows series. This is a collection of 3 intermingling stories centered around fate, finding your person, and that navigating love through distance and time takes effort, but is worth the reward.
Our first story follows Hoshiumi and Yachi as they meet, continue to connect, and find love in each other's hearts.
The second story follows Gao and his pining for Nozawa, which is obvious to everyone EXCEPT Nozawa. Can a stupidly created jealousy plan finally get Nozawa to realize his feelings for Gao? Or will it all fail before Nozawa graduates and leaves for his future?
The final story follows Ennoshita and Hirugami through their newfound friendship. Shared interests and similar personality traits make everything seem easy, until feelings begin to get involved. Both are afraid to pop the fragile bubble they’ve created, while in the meantime the pining intensifies. Can they finally find their voices and confess, or are they doomed to dance around each other through their third year and university?

Summary
"The air is thick with the scent of honeysuckle and something artificially sweet and familiar. Kyoutani is standing to the side, leaning against the door of the truck, having already spotted Yahaba. He’s smiling without even trying to hide it, which is something he does a lot now. Yahaba kind of loves it."

Summary
Everyone thinks that this mutual attraction-slash-competition to see who can hold out the longest-slash-annoying each other to the point of sexual tension started during Oikawa’s last game of his high school volleyball career. When Yahaba grabbed a fistful of Kyotani’s jersey, pulled him in so close that Kyotani felt Yahaba's breath steam against his cheek, and slammed him into the wall.
It was the first instance where Kyotani saw Yahaba as a real captain – as someone he might be able to respect in their third year, when Iwaizumi goes to university and all that’s left is a grey haired, straighter version of Oikawa.
Everyone likes to think that’s where it all started. During that charged staring contest when Kyotani was stunned into a gay-panic-silence and Yahaba was the one glaring. It was quite the shock, but that’s not where it started.
At least, that’s not where it started for Kyotani.DISCLAIMER: I posted this fic before, but I orphaed my account from it because I'm a dumbass (I didn't understand what orphaning meant). Posting again, but I wanted to put a disclaimer because I didn't want anyone to think this was plagiarism

Summary
So you could imagine the surprise Tsukishima felt when he slammed his door open, only to find a teary-eyed Yamaguchi Tadashi, someone he hadn’t spoken to in so long he couldn’t remember the last time he did.
But nonetheless, Yamaguchi Tadashi was standing there.
"Can I stay here tonight?" Yamaguchi hiccupped in the smallest voice.
Tsukishima simply stepped aside to let him in. And when Yamaguchi brushed past him and he noticed he was barely holding it together, Tsukishima blocked his path and pulled him close. Yamaguchi didn’t hesitate, he buried his face in Tsukishima’s chest.
"I should’ve called, I…"
"Shut up Yamaguchi," Tsukishima whispered into his hair. Stripped of any resentment, the words stumbled out of his mouth more like a mantra, a soft but genuine attempt to remind him of who they once were.
Or, despite growing distant, Yamaguchi shows up one night at Tsukishima’s door, needing a place to stay. From that moment, Tsukishima believes that miracles do exist.Main story is now complete, but an epilogue will be added soon!

Summary
He slowly craned his head over, eyes wide and panicked. He almost threw up immediately when he saw the sight that was presented to him.
There was Kei Tsukishima, in all his beautiful blonde haired glory, lying on his stomach, shirtless, with his arm thrown over Tadashi’s chest and his face just inches away. He was drooling on his pillow, just like he did when they were kids, and looked more at peace than he probably had in months, with no furrow in his brow and no glasses to push up conspicuously.
“What an evil wet dream this is” Tadashi thought.
