Summary
There is no universe where Oikawa could have been friends with Ushijima back then, the latter being the wall he would fail to get across time and time again - an unforgivable offence in his youth. It would have been impossible, a fate as certain as being born with your mother’s eyes and your father’s hair. But twelve years later, and he maybe wants it to have a different ending – feels the need to dust off and polish connections that have history and have roots, ones that have been placed long, long before.
(For the want of a pin, Oikawa spends some time with an old rival at the Paris 2024 Olympics.)

Summary
A beginning to an end, wherein kids had asked, for what had felt like the millionth time in Kageyama’s life, what games he liked to play, and he had said volleyball, and they had specified with laughter, no, they were talking about video games, obviously , and so he had said none.
But then Kindaichi, ever the empathetic peacemaker even back then, had been there to say that he liked volleyball too, and Kunimi had agreed offhandedly, because it’s not like they were there in the volleyball club to play video games, he had pointed out to the others who seemed dead-set on giggling their heads off. And Kageyama hadn’t fully grasped the offer of friendship that the two of them had held out in that moment, but he had felt comfortable in a way that he hadn’t ever before, outside of with his sister and Kazuyo.
(Kageyama returns home from Italy for the December holidays, and maybe also learns how to change a lightbulb and do his taxes.)

Summary
“We will welcome your challenge.” Ushijima said, and for any passerby his face would have been easily classified as being hard and disinterested. But though years had passed and the man sitting in front of him resolutely eating rice and fermented beans was now 25, Goshiki felt the vestiges of a past look of expectation — a look from an 18-year-old that had both at once quelled insecurities and inspired. Goshiki, he had said once. What does a person of your talent and skill have to be anxious of?
(Goshiki, on the cusp of a graduation two times over.)

Summary
Megumi eyes the papers, heartbeat quickening. He picks up the first one. It’s heavy, thick. Light doesn’t pass through, and the bold title at the top seems to leer at him.
'Adoption Order', it reads.
“This looks real,” Megumi says.
Gojo sips on his lemonade. His blindfold is around his neck, and the sunlight snags against the blue of his eyes. He’s beaming, proud.
“It is.”
Something in Megumi's chest explodes. Shatters. The shrapnel guts him, and his hands work against the paper. He tells himself not to rip it, but a fine tear spreads under his fingers.
“I said to bring fake ones.”
"Megumi-"
"I don't want this. I told you I don't want this! What the hell's wrong with you?"
+ + + +
When Megumi calls Gojo asking for fake adoption papers, the last thing he expects is for him to bring real ones.
And the last thing Gojo expects is for Megumi to refuse.
AKA: Megumi refuses to be adopted by Gojo, and the fallout forces them to figure out what they mean to each other.

Summary
“Lady Lili,” he said, turning to greet her. He plastered on a bland, polite smile in the face of her jabs. Not in the mood to socialize, he hoped she would tire herself out and move on before long.
She raised an eyebrow at his formal address. With an exaggerated curtsey, she said, “How do you do, Master Won?”
“Soo-Won, actually,” he corrected her. No titles anymore. No aliases. Just him. Whatever that meant.

Summary
"When Shouyou goes down, it feels the same as it did the first time, a decade ago. Only now, he's old enough and fully-grown enough to know that he could not have prevented this. All of his careful training, his rigid devotion to proper sleep and nutrition, the doctors and trainers of the highest caliber, and yet--"
--
Following an injury, Shouyou returns home from Sao Paulo to find that the descent from the summit is never quite as exciting as the climb.- Language:

Summary
“What do you—“ Yuutarou cuts himself off with a sigh. “You know what? It doesn’t matter. I’ll buy you those pokéballs when we get to Veilstone.”
“If we get to Veilstone,” Akira quips.
Yuutarou huffs. “Sorry for trying to be a nice guy.”
“You should be,” Akira says, taking a stab at the tofu his friend brought him. “Kenma wanted me to check out the Game Corner in Veilstone for him and I told him I’d get back to him today.”
On the way to Veilstone City, Akita and Yuutarou run into an old friend.
