Summary
Akaashi was only human. And Bokuto loved like a human. Too much, always bigger than what they could handle, until it was a need rather than a want.
“I could be with you forever,” was Akaashi’s confession, her sworn oath to this star. Her lips pressed to the calloused hands that had given the heaven’s every thread of colour they have ever desired. It was here, she had made it known: that Akaashi would not be going anywhere. That she was here for Bokuto and Bokuto alone.
For her faith, Akaashi was made divine, in all her selfishness, in all her human-like faults and flaws, and it was love that made her so. It was Bokuto’s love. Only hers.
On the seventh day of the seventh month, the story of Orihime and Hikoboshi was uttered along with prayers for clear skies, in the hopes that these two cosmic lovers could be reunited on the only day they were destined to meet.
Akaashi was not among those that prayed. Instead, she was waiting, still kneeling at the foot of the shrine where her one true love resided.

Summary
Akaashi took a breath, willing the rest of the words to come out. He’d been on the opposite side of this conversation enough times to know how it was supposed to go. Those words, spoken by Bokuto at seventeen, nineteen, twenty-two, had hurt enough to linger, timbre and pitch and intensity all burned into the worn-down edges of his memory: Akaashi, I’m seeing someone!
“Bokuto-san,” he said, his own voice hoarse and cracking. “I’ve been seeing someone.”
--
When Akaashi is pursued by one of his literary idols, he wonders if it's finally time to move on from his unrequited love for his best friend.

Summary
Outwardly, Keiji is sure he looks as composed as always. Inwardly, Keiji’s at the peak of a rollercoaster, suspended indefinitely before the drop. His insides feel taut: he’s waiting for his stomach to give out, his heart to jump to his throat. In a moment, the piano and violins in the corner will begin playing and everyone will quiet and the officiant will make his way to the altar, followed by Kuroo, followed by—
And well, this is what Keiji has been bracing himself for.

Summary
Mizi pulls Sua into her arms and says, “I’m sorry about the flowers. I really am. I… I was just—we were swamped backstage, and I just didn’t have enough time to stay and talk with you, and you know how it is with, you know, standard procedure. My management doesn’t want me receiving gifts from fans directly—”
“Fans,” Sua cuts in, pointed.
Wounded.

Summary
“Did you need something?”
“I—” Mizi stamps down her spiraling thoughts. Sua works here, and if she asks for Sua’s help with something, she’ll have to pay attention to Mizi instead of her job. Only because helping Mizi is also part of her job, but—whatever. It’s the only plan Mizi can come up with on the fly like this. “I wanted to look around a bit too, while I’m here,” she lies. Most of the books she’s read recently have been for class, and before that, back in high school, she’d stick to silly YA romance. But Sua looks smart, so Mizi asks, “Do you have any poetry recommendations?”

Summary
She showed up at Kris’s door with her hood up and her tail twitching, smelling like smoke that wasn’t hers. She had one of her mother’s old flannels tied around her waist, the sleeves long and dragging. Kris didn’t ask. Just stepped aside.
Toriel, from the kitchen, poked her head out and said only: “Shoes off, dear. I just mopped.”
Like Susie belonged there.
Like she wasn’t a guest anymore.
Kris gave her the couch and curled up on Chariel. Susie protested, at first—“It’s your damn house, dude,” she said, “I can sleep on the floor, I’ve done it before”—but Kris was already half-buried in blankets and completely silent, which meant the conversation was over.
At some point, when the house had gone completely quiet and the shadows settled, Susie whispered:
“Hey.”
Kris shifted their head to look at her.
The moonlight caught her hair, the jagged edge of her teeth. Her eyes were clearer than they ever were at school. No posturing. No sneer. Just Susie. Bare and real in a borrowed T-shirt, her knees pulled up, her voice a rasp.

Summary
Mom says, I love you. Kris thinks that’s probably true.
Mom says, Asriel will be coming home for break. He will be so happy to see you. Kris wonders if he will even know the difference, if he’ll see what their mother can’t. They’ve always been a weird kid— people have told them that their whole life, but someone should have noticed.
Someone should have noticed, right?
(or, self loathing becomes a complicated thing when you're not entirely sure who you are.)
