Summary
“Three… two…”
As Kei watched on the screen, Yamaguchi’s expression started to change. His smile faded, his eyebrows furrowing in an expression Kei always called his thinking-so-hard-he-might-pull-something face. What could he possibly be thinking too hard about right now? It wasn’t like he had to work at coaxing his muscles into the easy smile that usually came naturally to him.
“... One…”
Yamaguchi shifted in Kei’s lap, turning his face away from the camera and toward Kei’s. Just before the shutter clicked for the last time, Kei felt the press of lips against his cheek. He watched it happen on the screen half a second later, which felt a lot like watching it happen to someone else entirely. Everything happened so fast, like his brain was moving in slow motion. Eventually, Kei understood.
Yamaguchi was kissing his cheek.
Yamaguchi was kissing his cheek.

Summary
“Wow,” Tendou says, eyes going wide. “How do you do that, Wakatoshi?” he asks, motioning vaguely all over the paper.
Wakatoshi shrugs. His drawing is nothing special; no matter how much he perfected his lines, he just can’t do justice to Tendou. He can give back his facial features, sure, but the boy on the paper doesn’t have what it takes to be Tendou -- the energy, the liveliness, the freedom -- he seems like a caged bird in comparison, sitting kind of rigidly in his chair and with only a speck of light reflecting his eyes.
The real Tendou sitting in front of him is shining.In which Ushijima and Tendou boops each other's nose.
That’s it, that’s the fic.Series

Summary
Turning 26 is hard. Turning 26 when all your dearest friends and loved ones are ambitious, driven, and high-achieving is even harder. Still, Tadashi has plenty to be proud of.

Summary
According to common knowledge—and quite a few highly reputable textbooks—there exist in the universe three kinds of soulbonds: those that manifest spontaneously, those that people are born with, and those that stay hidden until their potential is revealed.
Some soulmates connect easily and instantaneously. But other soulbonds prove to be more stubborn. These bonds require a bit more effort…a certain amount of coaxing before they finally appear.
For those unruly, obstinate souls, there is Tendou’s Bakery for Wayward Soulmates.

Summary
The chopping stops. Her face is unreadable, eyes steady on Tooru. "And what kind of girlfriend does he need?"
"Someone who understands him." Easy answer. "Someone who can keep up with him. Someone who supports him."
Auntie mulls it over. "Those sound like things you do."
Tooru's face flushes. "Well—well, yeah, he's my best friend."
She cocks her head at him, eyebrows raised. "So you want him to get another best friend?"
The visceral rejection of the idea fills him so fast, he's spitting out, "Never," before he even realizes it. Hajime's his best friend. His.
When he sees the amusement on Auntie's face, his flush deepens. "I—I mean," he fumbles, then straightens and crosses his arms, chin tilted up. "I'm irreplaceable, of course. I just mean this girl shouldn't hold him back."
Auntie nods, letting out a drawn out, "Ah." She grabs a potato and halves it. "I see. And you're sure it's a girl?"
"Of course, who else—" Tooru freezes. Wait.
***
OR: Tooru learns he's homophobic, but only when it comes to Hajime.
