Summary
He’s attractive. Sort of. Oikawa won’t tell you that though, instead he might throw a few not so kind words in its place. He’s the starting setter for the national team, and the eye candy of everyone’s magazine, billboards, and draws you in until you begin to stop to hold your breath, only to realize Miya Atsumu is not worth losing your breath over. That’s what Oikawa discovers.But to others—Iwaizumi Hajime (27) Athletic Trainer, there’s stolen glances, lingering hands, and Oikawa notices them all.
A memoir by Oikawa Tooru (27) Argentina National Team.

Bookmarker's Notes
Oikawa blinks, hopeful that shock isn’t too evident in his expression. “Iwa-san? I didn’t think all your players gave you cute nicknames.” He cocks his head, almost amused.
Atsumu doesn’t double-back, or seem at all startled, almost as if he’s been asked the question regularly. “This must be yer Oikawa, it’s finally nice to put a name to the face I’ve been hearin’ so much about.”
Hajime is the first to correct him, but Atsumu leans closer and whispers something in his ear, probably about his wrist. And it carves hunger, and the smallest of jealousy in his stomach and a volcano erupts once in a hundred years. They seemed close, almost too close.

Thirty Years and Change (the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad) by sunsmasher

Summary
It’s July 10th, 2024, and Oikawa Tooru is an Olympian. His smiling face airs on an NHK promo every 45 seconds. He’s captain of the national men’s volleyball team, reigning star of the professional leagues, and he hasn't spoken to Iwaizumi Hajime in two years.
He has, however, sent Iwaizumi tickets for the 2024 Los Angeles Summer Games.
“So go,” says Matsukawa's voice. “It’s only a few weeks. You’ve got a whole city to hide in if it gets awkward, and if it doesn’t get awkward, well…”
It’s like watching the future reconfigure, like being in high school again, watching team after team fall to Oikawa’s faultless planning and shameless charm.
“I’ll get to watch a whole lot of volleyball,” Hajime says, and resigns himself to fate and/or Oikawa Tooru.
“Hey, when you get there, can you bag a gymnast for me?” Hanamaki asks, and Matsukawa squawks.

“People are going to love you the rest of your life,” he tells Oikawa. “They’re going to love you, and, ha, they’re going to fear you, and just like Kageyama and fucking half the rest of the pro players in the world, they’re going to try their hardest to be you. Whatever the fuck it is you’re doing. Whoever you decide to be. Athlete, astronaut, prime minister, whatever. There’s just—there’s more to you than volleyball, man. There always has been.”
Hajime looks up. Oikawa is staring at him, mouth half-open.

Summary
Argentina is stretching out before him, an opportunity, a challenge. He is reminded of his losses, his insecurities, his disappointments; sees them form a tall, tall wall blocking his path to success. He takes a deep breath and knows he is going to shatter it.
In which Oikawa's whole life is spent longing for the horizon — in the form of a dream, a home, and a boy.

“Mi amor,” Oikawa breathes, smile growing soft. Iwaizumi feels his face warm but is caught by Oikawa’s eyes, unable to move as he realises that this - them - is really happening. “Mi corazón, mi mundo, quiero pasar mi vida contigo, Hajime.”
Iwaizumi’s hands press into Oikawa’s back. The face above him is framed by the stars.

Bookmarker's Notes
Oikawa looks bright and lucent on his shitty computer screen, perfect even in pixels. His smile seeps honey, saccharine sweet.
How did someone possibly say goodbye to that?
“I should go,” he begins hesitantly. His cursor still hovers, unwilling to follow through.
“I can’t wait until I get to see you, Iwa-chan,” says Oikawa, still smiling. A shiny glaze softens his eyes, which are half-lidded and affectionate. “I think about you all the time.”
“Oikawa…” Hajime swallows, dry. Something hot with longing burns in his throat. “Me, too.”
***
It couldn’t be real. Nothing Oikawa’s saying makes any sense to him, and he keeps on saying it with that same grim, unsmiling face that’s making Hajime’s chest start to break. Everything is static, harsh in his ears.
“I knew I’d have to deal with you dating someday,” Oikawa says. “But now that it’s actually happening, I can’t help it if I hate it.” A low growl escapes his throat, a guttural sound that seems more reflex than conscious thought. “I really, really fucking hate it, Iwa-chan.”
Because I’m the one who’s in love with you, remains unsaid between them.

Summary
It’s Tokyo 2021, backdrop for the XXXII Summer Olympiad Games. Oikawa Tooru returns to Japan after a triumphant, eight-year long run as pro setter in Argentina’s professional volleyball League. And it's been just as long since Hajime watched him disappear across the oceans, maybe never to return.
On reuniting with your best friend, standing atop the world stage, and trying to catch wisps of a golden boy. An Olympic tale, one lifetime in the making.

Bookmarker's Notes
Oikawa Tooru never made it to Nationals.
His greatest achievement in school had been the Best Setter award he had won in his third year of middle school. After that, it had all been word of mouth; his jump serves, his godly sets, his frightening game sense. People expected greatness from him, and were sorely disappointed all through his high school run.
But that didn’t fucking matter anymore. Because he’d made it to the Tokyo 2020 fucking Olympics.
*
They do eventually make it to the top. The view is as nice as Oikawa had promised; up here, the sky is wide and crystal blue, like the oceans Hajime traveled to get here. Endless, like their lifetime together.

Summary
Shoko and Utahime, burning things and making wishes.
“I have an idea,” Shoko replies, “please bring me the bill.” Utahime wordlessly crosses the kitchen and hands it to her, Shoko giving her the chips. Picking up the lighter, Shoko turns at the waist so that the bill is over the sink. Utahime takes a chip and puts it in her mouth and watches Shoko spark the lighter. “You said you wanted us to have a cleansing ritual, right?”

“And I have to tell you?”
“If you want,” Utahime shrugs. Shoko leans back and thinks about her wish. Her real wish is, of course, too gooey and squishy to say. She wants Utahime and Satoru to never feel like they are dead while still alive. Shoko presses her lips together, not even wanting to speak it, lest it come into being. She does close her eyes and breathe in, making her wish.
When she opens her eyes, Utahime is staring at her intently, like she’s trying to read her mind. Shoko smiles.

Summary
Yuuji stares at the dancing doll, his crumpled clothing, and his exposed dick and, dreading every moment, raises his eyes to Gojou.
He’s by the television stand, hip pressed to its edge, and his mouth is brimming with a bright, cruel kind of mirth as he looks down at Yuuji. Sometimes, Gojou reminds him unsettlingly of Sukuna. But where Sukuna’s perpetual air of malicious amusement makes Yuuji sick to his stomach, he’s always found it weirdly compelling on Gojou—kind of cool, actually. Or he used to. Now it goes right to his dick.
His type’s tall women with big butts. And, apparently, tall men with pretty hair and burning eyes and good skin and lush pink lips—
This is probably not a good time for a sexuality crisis.
Gojou’s still staring at him. He hums, a deep, considering sound that has Yuuji drawing back in justified alarm; his dick still hasn’t gotten the memo.
“I think that was too much,” Gojou announces.
“I hate you,” Yuuji informs him dully.
Gojou offers to blow Yuuji as part of his training; it escalates from there.

Bookmarker's Notes
Yuuji is eighteen fingers too early to die, but one day, he won’t be, and when that time comes, the man now staring down at him with a hunger that could devour worlds will put him down. And Yuuji will be dead, but Gojou will have to live with it. And Yuuji trusts him to do that, to survive Yuuji’s blood on his hands, in a way he doesn’t quite trust Fushiguro, who cares fiercely for the few he’s chosen, or Kugisaki, who’s noble at her core in a way she tries to hide. It makes him wonder which of the two of them Gojou is really trying to warn.

Bookmarker's Notes
It felt far too small for two grown men, even when he caged Yuuji in by crawling on top of him. The position reminded him of when they had settled into a quiet night in his basement, Yuuji beneath him, laughing as Gojo peppered him with soft kisses. It was all so innocent, something Gojo had long forgotten. They hadn't dared to go farther than that. All of it seemed like forever ago. Here, Yuuji barely twitched when Gojo nipped down his jaw to his throat, sucking harshly.
"Say something," Gojo demanded. In actuality, it was more like pleading. What a miserable wretch he must have looked like now. The world's strongest sorcerer? Ha. "Talk to me, Yuuji."

Gojo reaches up with her other hand to unravel her blindfold. “You’re such an upstanding citizen, you’d never do something as crass as fucking your coworker in your own office. But…”
“But?”
“But…you’ll allow it.” Satoru says with the familiar arrogance befitting the golden child of the Gojo clan. Chin tilted upwards a little, white eyelashes flashing off the fluorescent lights of the office. Someone who’s never been denied anything her whole life now asking her for another impossible thing.

“You’re kind of a homebody, huh, Nanamin?”
Nanami shrugs. Being a sorcerer leaves him with little time to do anything else. More time than he had working in corporate, but still not enough. Books in half-finished state, a growing pile of laundry, neglected groceries. Plenty of time to think about Itadori, though.

Summary
Kento opens his front door and lets the storm inside.
It stands about a head shorter than him and is only half as broad. It is not a very intimidating storm. It is dripping water all over his wood flooring.
“Nanamin,” Yuuji says, somewhat impatiently. His bangs cling limply to his forehead. “Towel, please. One of the metro lines broke down and I got stuck in the storm. Fucking storm.”
Kento blinks and the storm is a boy.
“Language,” Kento chides.

“It'd be dumb if he left,” Yuuji yawns. He rests his head on Kento's chest. “He spent so long looking for a home. And the wanderer loved the bird, didn't he? He took care of it.”
Kento tries to swallow but does not quite manage it. “He did. But the bird had no reason to stay, so perhaps he left.”
“That's dumb,” Yuuji repeats. “He finally found a home and someone who loved him. Why would he leave?”
“I’m not sure,” Kento whispers. He does not continue, again. He is not sure what to say. Why would the bird leave? Why would it stay? He has no answers.
“I’m not dumb.” Yuuji’s voice is soft and small. “I’m not.”
“No,” Kento agrees, something tender and knowing aching in his chest. It hurts. “You are very good, sweetheart.”

Satoru and Shoko’s relationship is full of the gaps that they think others have left behind.
“I’m just trying to prove to you that I can be normal,” he says, taking Shoko’s beer from her hand and taking a sip. Kento takes a look at the menu while Utahime takes another bite of her fish. Shoko presses her cigarette into the edge of her plate, snuffing it out.
“I wouldn’t like you if you were normal,” Shoko says, looking right at him. Satoru doesn’t say anything as he takes another sip of her beer."Bookmarked by lightfires

She just apathetic the way a well-adjusted person would be after the shit they’ve seen. Suguru and Satoru should care less, but alas, it’s like their conflicting values feed off of each other, love transmogrifying into hate, like he and Suguru will never be free of each other unless one of them dies. Shoko once said that because Suguru is an Aquarius and Satoru is a Sagittarius, they’ll always be attracted to each other. The sex would be crazy. Satoru asked what it meant for her to be a Scorpio, and she grinned and said that it meant that they can’t really hurt her. It’s her superpower.

Summary
Sometimes Gojo feels like Shoko takes him apart like she does her cadavers. Clean, smooth cuts with her deft hands and concentrated eyes. Other times he feels like she stares at him and sees nothing, seemingly tired of understanding the worlds that he contains. Both of these make him feel known, and he wonders what that means.

Shoko possesses a startling sense of humanity, in the way she ties her hair just before dissecting a body and before cooking breakfast for Gojo some mornings, in the way she calls Utahime twice a week without exception even if she has nothing new to say, and in the way half the hair ties she uses belonged to Suguru.

“Does it not worry you that nobody in the past three years has shown up with the reverse cursed technique?” she interrupts him mid-sentence, something he was saying about what it’d be like if more young people were capable of possessing power like he did.
She picks on the lint on the rug. Satoru quiets.
“Do you even think about people like me?” she continues, this time turning towards him. “Is strength only measured by how many curses someone can kill in 30 seconds? Or is a complete domain expansion your parameter for it?”

He rinses his hands quickly and then reaches out. “Here, dude, let me get it.”
Megumi’s stomach twists alarmingly as Itadori strokes his damp thumb softly over Megumi’s nose, washing away the flour. “There you go, all clean!” He beams, and Megumi thinks that he would make an excellent kindergarten teacher. The kids would love him. Hell, the parents would love him. But no, here he is learning to fight curses with his bare hands and stuck swallowing fingers from a dead psycho villain until the Council decides to kill him.
It all makes Megumi very, very bitter.

“It’s what I’m for, isn’t it? A vessel for children with the Six Eyes,” Yuuji finishes, so quiet Gojo has to lean over his phone to catch every terrible word.
He has a sudden vision, crystal clear and visceral: Yuuji, surrounded by towering children with glittering blue eyes and all of Gojo’s greed. They glare at him, and when he tries to touch Yuuji’s beaming face his fingers can’t make contact. The children have placed Infinity between them, and no matter how Gojo struggles he’ll never reach Yuuji again.

But Yuji is something else entirely, is so utterly an idiot, but terribly precious all the same, loathe as she is to admit it.

But Itadori Yuji is Itadori Yuji, and somewhere along the line, the thing slithering under his skin had grown fond of him, too.

“Yuji,” Sukuna says again, right in his ear, keeping him grounded with his own body — Fushiguro’s, Fushiguro’s, Fushiguro’s — on top. They are plastered together like this, pinned down and Yuji can't do anything.
He's not naive, he knows what Sukuna wants.
“I'd rather you kill me,” Yuji says, miserable, mouth and tongue heavy with dirt.
“Hm,” Sukuna hums, a clawed finger tracing the lines of his throat, gently, watching the way it shifts as he swallows. “Are you sure?”

“Brat,” Sukuna coos, voice thick and satisfied, tracing Yuji’s lips, coated with dirt and grime and blood, with a finger. A finger just like the one Sukuna ripped off of Yuji himself. Hideous. “Don't be like that,” Sukuna says with a tilt of his head, examining, “I dare say you look quite pretty, like this.”
