Summary
It’s peaceful in the blind, quiet, still. It smells like mold and forgotten beers and a whiff of cigarettes, but the wind that blows through the cracks in the boards is crisp and fresh. There’s a word for it, Daryl knows, for the smell before rain. His earth science teacher had said it one day. Daryl’d written it down and then the teacher had pretended to keel over with shock. A Dixon, taking notes? Just for that Daryl doesn’t want to remember the word, doesn’t want to like it. But he remembers anyway. Petrichor.
He’s thinking of this, half drowsy on top of Merle’s stained sleeping bag, when they come.

Summary
Arthur grins at him, waves his chubby hand. "Father!" he says, because he knows he should be formal with his father. There is no Pa here, no Dad or Da.
There's something shiny on his father's head. He points to it. "What's that?"
"Prince Arthur!" hisses the woman holding him, but his father only chuckles. The woman relaxes, just slightly.
"It's a crown, my son. One day, you will wear one just like it."
Arthur tilts his head, curiously. "What colour is it?" He thinks it's grey, just a shade off of the silver of the swords. It's the same silver-grey as half of the household's shiny jewelry, a not quite true silver. He doesn't think he likes it.
"It's gold," says his father. "There's a lot of gold here in Camelot, my son."
Arthur nods his head, and labels that silver-ish colour gold in his mind.
(Or: in a world where you can't see the colour of your soulmate's eyes until you meet them, Arthur can't see gold, and it makes his life as a prince much more difficult.)

Summary
Kageyama blinks once before a grin of his own spreads over his face. Shouyou’s breath halts in his lungs at the sight, and he wills for time to stop, just so that he can drink it in. He sees it sometimes when they’re playing - Kageyama’s fierce smile when they pull a combo off just right, when they show their opponents how possible the impossible can really be. But then there’s another serve, another rally, and the moment is gone.
'Shame,' Shouyou thinks to himself, as he lets his eyes roam over Kageyama’s stupidly happy face, taking in the creases that are from joy rather than frowning for a change. 'It’s a really nice smile.'
-
In which it's their third, and final, year in high school and Hinata has only one goal: to make Kageyama smile outside of volleyball.

Summary
“Hi-Hinata…”
The spark of awareness ignites and Shouyou blinks his eyes open again fully, humming in response to his name. Kageyama doesn’t reply, as he’s still completely asleep, shuffling slightly as his breaths start to catch in the beginnings of snores.
“Kageyama?” Shouyou stage whispers.
“Hinata,” Kageyama grunts back, before smacking his lips and devolving fully into snoring.
-
In which Shouyou falls in love slowly during his high school years, and Kageyama talks in his sleep.

Summary
a nautical phrase: to prepare for a difficulty or crisis.
For the last few years, Kageyama Tobio's life as a pirate captain on the high seas has run like this: find the loot, score the loot, and then chase after Hinata Shouyou, who has stolen the treasure from him to get it back.
Until a mutiny forces Kageyama - out of options and out of a ship - to partner up with his rival captain in pursuit of the storied treasure, The Asteria. Kageyama would like nothing less, but left without a choice he reluctantly agrees to Hinata's terms. Their voyage takes them on a journey that's far from smooth sailing, as they both learn what it truly means to be free.
(A pirate AU; Hinata is too reckless and Kageyama just can't let go. Somewhere along the line, they'll need to meet in the middle.)
