Summary
And when he thinks of Himeno, he cries. He sees the tailends of her smile from beyond a lighter’s glow and his chest feels like it’s being crushed. His own movement on the hospital bed mirrors hers when the night was too quiet to spend alone, just before she fell asleep holding him, and he has to stay very still if he doesn’t want to break into pieces. He thinks of Himeno and doesn’t remember a work partner, he thinks of Himeno and remembers everything.
In which Aki handles his grief over Himeno's death: by recalling their relationship throughout the years, acknowledging the way it was shaped by their complementary vices. And finally, finally— admitting how he feels about it all.

Summary
Hajime visits his hometown one spring day, drives along the street where Oikawa used to live, and can't even recall his house number. Memories are bound to fail four years after a breakup—but even so, there are things that Hajime can't forget, no matter how much he tried.
Even though I had four years already. Even though I had distance and strained silence and a weak memory, a move to a skyscraper and a string of lukewarm dates. I had everything. I got myself everything I needed, see? Everything. All the better to forget you with.
All the better to remember you still.

Summary
That day, all throughout the full-set match, every time the hitter—Fukuroudani’s Number 12— tries to grab point after point, Akaashi watches him handle each ball like it’s his very first time on the court, with his soul still filled to the brim with serious love and amazement for the game. He watches him pour that love into each movement, golden eyes lit up like a call to action, and when he bursts through the air like a rising star, Akaashi can’t help but feel himself rise, as well.
Like Venus in the night sky, where each daylight blazes for a year,
Tell me, universe, does he burn this bright for his soulmate, too?
In which Akaashi has a broken soulmate thread while Bokuto's is still very much intact (but they find a way to be together regardless).
Or: A study in hopeless longing and world-defying choices, penned lovingly by Akaashi Keiji and Bokuto Koutarou.

Summary
There's something about you that Hajime can't quite figure out. All he knows is that he just can't take his eyes off of you, and by the end of your meeting, there's a very, very huge chance that he would be willing to sell his soul just to see you again.
(He doesn't have to, thankfully.)
Hajime watches you leave in a short haze, each one of your footsteps a strum against his heartstrings. The last notes of your laugh still resound inside his head, and he has to ignore the way the room bends and curves in your wake as though everything is only real because he met you, as if you were the space in which everything ends and begins...

Summary
“That’s right.” Zhongli’s voice is firm but melancholy, touched by resurfacing memories. If Lumine could peek inside minds and watch them like moving images, she might have been able to see snippets of long-buried grief—thin blue sleeves drifting in the wind, long black hair, a jade hairpin. A golden brooch. A stone dumbbell with a solemn pledge fluttering inside. All of them proof that Zhongli had loved and been left, but neither the love nor the person was ever replaced inside his heart. “Nothing in this world is replaceable, because everything—and everyone—was loved at least once. And sometimes—” He brushes aside a strand of hair from Lumine’s forehead, the warm pad of his finger lingering. “Sometimes once means forever.”
In which Lumine finds Zhongli singing amidst the glaze lilies in her teapot garden, and the loss in his heart calls for the one in hers.

Summary
In thirty minutes, Alhaitham is going to be home, and Kaveh needs to be able to be his most composed self for the inevitable confrontation that will happen the second his roommate is through the door.
Actually— no, scratch that.

Kaveh accidentally ends a phone call with “I love you.” Alhaitham… deals with it.
