Summary
Kenma Kozume, a quiet and intelligent commoner trained in herbal medicine and poisons, is forcibly taken from his small village to serve as a low ranking servant in the Inner Palace. There, he tries to keep a low profile, until his sharp mind and strange behavior attract the attention of Kuroo Tetsurō, a charismatic and cunning court official who is closer to the Emperor than most realize.
As Kenma becomes tangled in the mysterious illnesses, poisonings, and political schemes within the palace walls, Kuroo continues to test and push him, sometimes out of genuine concern, sometimes for reasons Kenma can’t quite read at first.

Summary
Vi looks at the big clock on the far wall. 7:46AM. She’s one minute late today. Every morning for the past six months - well, every morning Vi’s been on shift, so she’s just assuming about the other days - she’s passed by at exactly 7:45AM, always at a brisk walk, always in a perfectly-tailored suit, not a single long, silky-looking hair out of place.
7:47AM. The crisp clack of heeled boots on concrete pulls Vi out of her musings. There must have been some sort of emergency, because the subject of Vi’s (minor) obsession walks past the fire station at a faster clip than normal. Which is sort of saying something, because Mystery Woman’s got legs for days, long and slender, visibly toned with long, lean muscle through her suit pants. At the faster clip, Vi has less time to admire her ass and tiny, tiny waist as she walks by, but that’s fine, because the view as she leaves is fantastic.
OR
Caitlyn's route to work as a detective at the 51st Precinct takes her right by Fire Station #516, and Vi's been pining after the gorgeous Mystery Woman for six months...what will happen when she finds out that Caitlyn's a cop (AKA: The Enemy)?

He’s glad Kuro came, after all.
((During the two weeks he spends manning his uncle's ice cream booth on the coast, Kenma decides that maybe he likes his best friend back, after all))

Summary
Kuroo exhaled slowly, the kind of breath that carries no weight but still feels necessary. His spine ached in three places. His eyes burned. He tried to remember something beautiful about the day—maybe the way the gym lights caught the dust during practice, or the sound of sneakers squeaking on polished wood—but the memory didn’t rise. Just paperwork. Sponsorship decks. A coach yelling into his phone. A player with a twisted ankle. Apologies. Smiles. Endless scheduling.
He rubbed his temples with the pads of his fingers, then leaned back again. His reflection in the window looked like someone he might have passed in the hallway and forgotten to say hello to. He felt transparent. Not in a sad way—just in the way that paper left in the rain becomes too soft to hold its shape.
(In which Kuroo has the worst housing crisis of his life, is way too used to concealing his feelings, and maybe doesn't need the spare room after all.)
