Summary
“Wait. Okay. Let me get this straight.” You set your coffee down; is he actually saying what you think he’s saying? “You want me to sleep with a complete stranger for the next eleven weeks?”
Or: you need extra funds in college, Albedo needs an extra participant for his sleep study—that he has to participate in last-minute—and sharing a bed with a total stranger is okay, because it's for science and Albedo probably isn't going to murder you. Probably.
Besides, what could it hurt except everything?

Summary
“You could be a gull as well,” Sara had offered, although she could not quite see it. If Yoimiya were to be a bird, she would be something small and clever, living in a flock of brightly-coloured other birds whose plumage was never quite as vibrant as her own.
But Yoimiya had shaken her head. “I’d want to be a goldfish,” she said. “They’re very cute, and they live such simple, happy lives. People say they only have short memories, but I don’t think that’s it. I just think maybe they’re better at letting things go.”
Sara had knotted the last rope with a little more force than necessary, feeling a strange weight in the bottom of her chest. “I don’t think I would make a very good goldfish.”
Sara celebrates her birthday beneath a sky full of light.

Yoimiya absolutely loves the kids. She loves playing games with them, loves the way their eyes light up as she tells stories of the world. If she weren’t so dedicated to her craft, she’d spend all her time with them.

Summary
Each year, flocks are formed by putting two senior dragon/rider pairs, two intermediate pairs, and five rookie pairs together. This year, Riders Sugawara and Yaku have been put in charge of Trainee Flock One. They'll have to convince the rider trainees to get along, get the dragons to cooperate - no one is sure how they ended up with every single "problem" dragon - and hopefully keep their intermediate riders, Oikawa and Nishinoya, from arguing too much over whose dragon is better.

Summary
"He was aware of the itch he’d feel before he shook his head or scrunched his nose. He recognized the impulse to move, but he didn’t realize how compulsive the behaviors had become. He had to shake his head. He had to scrunch his nose. He had to shrug his shoulders over, and over, and over.
It wasn’t until he was nine-years-old that Shouyou realized he couldn’t control his movements like other kids could."
