    Summary

    "Again, their breath moves together, only instead of a sigh of relief it holds still, caught in their throats. They seem to both acknowledge a door half-open, a window just cracked. Sometimes it’s like this—working on the Bear, talking about Mikey when they have to, when they mention the money or the inspiration or the afternoons Carmen has to plan around in order to attend the AL meetings.

    They are always on the edge of talking about it. Sometimes Carm feels it like a lighter, finger pressed down flat, letting all the gas out, never making a spark. It never catches, it never burns, but it’s there, fucking up the ozone layer or some shit like that. He’s always fucking up something."

    OR: After months of hard work, The Bear is nearing opening, with a inaugural write-up in the Tribune to go with it. The only problem is: Carmy can't talk about the restaurant without talking about Mikey, and he can't talk about Mikey without talking about himself.

    Summary

    This is bait, but the best bait is the truth; there is no lie in Jack's arm around her waist, in his fingers tangled through hers.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    reread in 2025 and oh I am absolutely GUTTED by the masterful interweaving of lightness and nostalgia, this bittersweetness that shrouds all of canon if one remembers that they're all in high school and high school isn't forever.....


    The only damper on the experience was the worry, longstanding and quite well-founded, that Kise would never feel the same way about anything or anyone again, within basketball or without. When it came down to it he didn't have words for what Aomine had meant and still meant to him; it wasn't that the other boy was inimitable or unsurpassable or irredeemably a basketball idiot (although he was all of those things), but rather that Aomine was a fixed moment in time, an event from which Kise would never recover.

    Most days he believed that Aomine was the one and only, his lightning from a cloudless sky. He didn't have a right to expect his life to be changed like that again.

    Summary

    Post-high school, Oikawa makes it to the national volleyball team but Iwaizumi doesn't. The next three years become an exercise in growing up without growing apart.

    Some days Hajime likes to think of himself as Oikawa’s counterpart—the two of them blending into a single devastating unit, the invincible setter and his unyielding ace, the bond between them unbreakable and true. Other days he feels like he is chasing after a rising sun, always running and running with his eyes fixed on the distance, trying to cross a chasm that stretches on without end, caught in an endless and exhausting pursuit.
