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
They do not say anything more to each other; Iwaizumi simply steps back, a silent invitation to enter. It is a language they used to speak in childhood, one without any words at all, and to fall back into it with ease is something that makes both hearts seize with love.
It is so easy to fall back into someone, to let the edges of your body mold to their curves and feel them take the burden of existence from your shoulders. And that, though it may be unknown to them at this moment, is exactly what they do.
They fall.
Mamihlapinatapai - A look shared by two people, each wishing the other would initiate something they both desire but which neither wants to start.

Summary
He could hear the wind rushing by his ears, slipping through the windows and stinging across his face. His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly and his heartbroken scream echoed through the interior of the car.
The last thing that flashed through his mind was Iwaizumi's face before the screeching of tires and the grinding of metal.
----
A death in Oikawa's family turns his world upside, throwing a wrench into his carefully laid plans for the future. Now tasked with looking after his family, he finds it nearly impossible to grieve on his own. Iwaizumi is there, because Iwaizumi is always there, but Oikawa feels himself pulling farther away as he tries to piece his life back together with the stubborn independence that has the potential to destroy him.

Summary
Iwaizumi would never have wished for Oikawa to come back if he'd known the cost. Now he pays the price watching the person he loves the most wither before his eyes; that bright and fervent soul straining against the bars of its cage.
All their lives Oikawa had always been asking him for ‘one more’: one more round of whatever game Oikawa was losing, one more toss, one more round of whatever they were doing in bed that Oikawa was *also* losing. His brown eyes blazed with intensity, an almost manic gleam in them like he was hardly seeing what was in front of him. His gaze was fixed elsewhere, on a victory that was just out of reach. A victory he was sure of, if only he could try one more time.
Now it's only 'one last time'.
All Iwaizumi can do is make it count.

Summary
Tooru's been told time and time again that his ambition and recklessness will one day be the end of him, but to him, these 'flaws' were the best traits he had. They got him to be captain, one of the top setters in the nation, and his team to Nationals. He didn't understand the magnitude of these flaws until he found himself in the middle of the sea.
And to make it worse, he brought the school's photographer down with him.
---
Oikawa and Iwaizumi are stranded on a desert island. Despite the stakes, they learn how to live with the consequences of their actions, and with each other.
