    Summary

    It's a meet cute between a young writer and a barista.

    The barista’s lips curl into a charmingly insincere smile as he hands Isagi a drink in a paper takeaway cup. “Next time you want to drink flavored syrup,” he says, “try going to Starbucks instead. This is an establishment for enjoying the flavor of actual coffee, in case you didn’t know.”

    Or it's a second chance for a love story that didn't work out the first time.

    YOICHI

    Well, you’re the one who broke up with me, and I don’t have lingering bad feelings over it, so… I guess the problem is with you?

    KAISER

    I could easily take that as a passive-aggressive comment on why our relationship ended.

    Or it's a fight to take back control of the narrative.

    Summary

    Even so, there is a compartment of his heart where he stashes away the memories he cannot bear to inspect for too long, for fear that his mind, as always, will calculate the very worst outcome. On one shelf: the gray hair he found at his temple a few days ago. In a deeper alcove: the startled look on his grandmother’s face when she had forgotten his name for a moment too long when he last visited her.

    In a hidden room, maybe even a full annex shut away from the rest of his heart: Keiji’s entire sixteenth year, when a boy with incandescent eyes told him that they were the protagonists of the world, and Keiji had believed it.

    Summary

    There was no more volleyball, as Osamu loved reminding him. Just the barren earth and the distant caw of a crow and the hunger tearing him apart. The apocalypse had a way of shredding things apart and scattering them to the wind before you had a chance to catch all the pieces. Atsumu thought it was going to be him and Osamu against the world, but when all was said and done, Atsumu was left alone in a house full of ghosts, and Osamu could have been one of them, for all he knew.

    Atsumu, age 17, finds himself alone at the end of the world. How do you find meaning in life when everything you loved about life is only a memory?

    Summary

    Longing for purpose, village physician Rhys follows a dashing red-haired knight to a world of intrigue and adventure.

    But a mercenary company is no place to hide. Secrets catch the light, and Rhys's growing curiosity about the group's thorny and reticent bowman may risk more than just his life.

    AU-ish: 90% canon-compliant with one major divergence. A wartime romance about honesty, goodness, and what it means to be understood.
