Summary
Akaashi imagines sitting across from Bokuto and saying the words I like you, Bokuto-san. Imagines being close enough to hold his hands while his confession spilled out in a deluge of longing and hope.
Oh no, he thinks, mortified. I can’t do that.
Akaashi tries to think about anything else, anything to feel like he’s in control again.
“Then it’s decided!” Bokuto announces. Akaashi almost jumps when Bokuto touches his hand, fleeting but grounding. “It’ll be two on two, me and Akaashi and you and Kenma!”

Summary
“The Express crew was once stranded on a planet with four temperamental seasons—two mild, one hot, and one frozen,” Dan Heng said. “During the frozen season, the hours with light in the day-night cycle would dwindle until a single day when almost no light would pass. On this day, families would gather around a hearth and exchange gifts. The tradition is intended to warm the coldest of days.”
--
Dan Heng brings an Express tradition to a certain general of the Xianzhou Luofu.

Summary
Sylvain's father always says that no one celebrates Solsticetide like Gautier. It was bad enough when Sylvain was growing up: Goddess forbid the margrave's heir fail to buy into the festivities. It's grotesque now. Two years ago the people of Faerghus were boiling mouldered barley and toasting rats over the coals for their Solstice night feasts, and that was if they were lucky. To pretend that five years of civil war haven't ravaged people and land alike, that the old hearty customs can go on just as they have for centuries, it turns Sylvain's stomach—
Felix interrupts him. "Then come to Fraldarius."
* * *
Sylvain visits Fraldarius to help the new Duke preside over the winter holidays. It's a lot more complicated than he thinks.

Summary
It is not hazing, because the Ministry of the Interior is an institution with too much inherent dignity to engage in such a practice. But it is confirmed, when you are given the post, that you have been assigned to this position because of your youth and inexperience. It is the kind of assignment that is styled as desirable, without being actively desired by anyone.
The administrator you talk to congratulates you on the start of an undoubtedly brilliant future career in the government bureaucracy, and shuffles you out the door with your papers. From this day forth, you are Ferdinand von Aegir's secretary, and your first order of business is to figure out who in the hell that is.
It's a very long time after the war, and the world, life and technology are all marching on.

Summary
One moment, Atsumu’s walking towards the stadium entrance, the next he’s getting body-checked by what feels like half the band. He lands flat on his ass, almost falls off the sidewalk into traffic, which, holy shit! Holy shit. His ex-boyfriend is actually trying to kill him.
Osamu, the jerk, stands over him pinching the bridge of his nose like he’s the one being inconvenienced here. “You’re really gonna die before the tournament ends, huh? This is gonna be so embarrassing to explain to Ma.”
The Inarizaki High School Volleyball Club is going for the gold in the 2014 Spring Interhigh. They’ve just got to overcome a vengeful Inarizaki marching band, Atsumu’s many talented volleyball crushes, and the twins’ communication issues first. Easier said than done.

Osamu is already running, and like magic or a miracle or an act of god, the ball materializes in his palm as he slams it down.

Bookmarker's Notes
Kei had thought, then, of Kageyama and Hinata, or Aoba Johsai’s Oikawa and Iwaizumi, their perfect trust. How lucky I am to not have had to search for it. To have had it handed to me, from the moment I was born.

Summary
Futakuchi tugs on his sleeve. “Hey, Aone,” he says, pointing at a blurry shape rounding the corner of the gymnasium. "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?"
“Person,” Aone says.
"Umbrella,” Futakuchi says. “Let’s borrow it. You stand there and look scary, and I’ll take care of the—”
Aone raises a hand like he’s going to push Futakuchi back into the rain, and Futakuchi backs up a couple of steps on the stairs.
“I’m kidding! Geez.”
