    Summary

    Kageyama Tobio is the nineteen-year-old who makes waves at the 2016 Rio Olympics, playing for Japan.
    Hinata gets a part-time job as a delivery boy in Rio De Janeiro. It’s convenient and frighteningly easy, at least after he learns to read the street signs.

    He kind of wants to hit something. The ball, into the opposite court, first and foremost—if not, then the ball directly into Miya Atsumu’s smug face would be a decent consolation prize.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    oh my god. Oh my god. respectfully, oh my god.
    how do you write kagehina without much of them actually interacting with each other as the story plays out? in the ache left by what is not there. in how longing trails after them like shadows. like ghosts. i get all protective of my darling hinata and get pissed at kageyama tobio for going to the olympics without him or whatever but i digress. no matter what ship i try to eat up. there is no hinata without kageyama, there is no kageyama without hinata, even when it feels like they've tried so long to prove the opposite, and it just drives me insane.

    Summary

    Hinata left for Brazil without warning, without goodbyes, and without telling Kageyama how he really felt. Now, two years later, he's back in Japan—older, a little braver, and still carrying every unsent message in his chest.

    He missed his chance once. This time, he's not letting go so easily.

    i inhaled this in like A FEW HOURS and proceeded to reread it for the next few hours. i am so in love with how kagehina are depicted here. it's like the author pulled the haikyuu characters out of their nifty little exaggerated-humor anime home and turned them into living breathing people. screw the new york times bestsellers this author and their fic is my cocomelon

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Dimitri,

    He’s written out the name almost before he’s processed setting pen to paper. But, once it’s there, it stares at him accusingly, impossible to erase. The measure of his hurt, and the topography of his regrets.

    And what would Dimitri even have to say of use on the matter? Even less than his other old friends, that’s for sure, but in far more words. Dimitri, so clumsy with girls that Sylvain, in their first month at Garreg Mach, had loudly pronounced him a lost cause where all their classmates could hear? Dimitri, for whom tenderness had always been a learned art? Dimitri, who had become estranged from love nine years ago, and never learned to meet it again?

    (Dimitri’s love, on that day, had been buried alongside Felix’s. And it feels traitorous to steal down to those catacombs, now, alone, and think of robbing that grave.)

    Summary

    Wanted: A room in an apartment or house within walking distance of Garreg Mach University. I’d prefer someplace calm and quiet; I pay my rent on time and mind my own business. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, let me know.


    Byleth Eisner needs a place to live. Dimitri Blaiddyd needs a roommate. Neither one of them is looking for a new friend.

    But it turns out Dimitri and Byleth have a lot in common. They both have trouble sleeping, they both love chamomile tea... and they're both struggling to find a way forward after the loss of someone they love.

    Their growing connection might be just what they both need. If it can survive a visit from Dimitri's stepsister.

    tl;dr – “omg, they were ROOMMATES!!!” That’s it. That’s the fic.
