- There’s a tiny clock on his wrist, bright red numbers. It’s supposed to tick, supposed to move, supposed to tell him when he’ll meet his soulmate. The time will run to zero when they’ve met, moving numbers will become stationary—the ticking that signified uncertainty transforming to the silent stability of forever.
- Iwaizumi Hajime’s clock hasn’t ticked for as long as he can remember.

- Iwaizumi blinked his gaze over to Oikawa, “Last time was supposed to be a one time thing,” he said, voice low, lacking some conviction.
- Oikawa’s lips twitched into a smirk and he brought them hovering just over Iwaizumi’s, “One time thing, Two time thing, what’s it matter as long as it’s not a Relationship thing?”

- The silence hangs between them before Oikawa sighs. He pulls off the blanket and starts to take off his shirt. Iwaizumi balks. “Why are you stripping?”
- He struggles with Oikawa for a second, trying to stop his friend from becoming half naked right there and then but Oikawa accidentally connects the heel of his palm with Iwaizumi’s left eye and he flinches backwards, giving Oikawa ample time to pull off the piece of fabric.
- “I’ve been numbered,” Oikawa says simply once the shirt is off and Iwaizumi feels his chest stopper.

- “I figured it out about a month before graduation.”
- When Oikawa explains this, they are sitting together in a boat in the middle of Lake Pichola, India, hiding at the end of the fourteenth century with no one to bother them. Hajime sifts his hand through the water to cool his face while Oikawa pauses to collect himself, sights fixed on the royal blue of an emerging night sky. He holds two fingers up to the yellowed moon, pinches it into forced perspective, and palms it completely to force the light out of his eye. At the view, he smiles like he’s defeated all the knowing gods, the fates and their fickle futures, and humbles himself from the stratosphere.
- “You know the story, Iwa-chan,” Oikawa tells him, back on earth. “Boy jumps to Miyagi in attempt to run away. It is raining, when he meets another, and they are both five years old. Neither of them can decide if he is from years past, or years to come. Hell, he could be a monster, for all they know.”

- iwaoi | teen and up | 4,528
- It’s lonely without Oikawa’s constant presence. And even with their constant and daily contact it isn’t the same as being face-to-face, chest-to-chest, heart-to-heart. Technology, while an aid that’s good enough is only that. It pales in comparison to the real thing—Oikawa’s smile and bright eyes in real time rather than pixelated, grainy and dimly lit by a low quality camera; his laugh clear and close, echoing in the small stretch of the few inches distance between them rather than miles away and limited by low sound quality. The substitute phones and webcams and text provides only makes Iwaizumi long for the real thing even more.
- (Various moments of Iwaizumi and Oikawa’s relationship throughout their college years.)
- in defense of our overgrown garden by carafin
- iwaoi | general | 2,595s
- In which Ushijima tries very hard to be a good neighbour to the new tenants next door. (alternatively titled: love thy crooked neighbour)
- From: Ushijima Wakatoshi / To: Oikawa Tooru
- Dear neighbour,
- Congratulations on moving into this neighbourhood with Iwaizumi. I hope you will enjoy your stay here, and I apologise for not being able to greet you in person, as I am a very busy man.
- As you might have noticed, I have also placed a pot of flowers next to your doorstep as a housewarming gift. It is a rue plant, traditionally meant to symbolise ‘regret’. I have expended great effort to procure this plant for you, as this is not a common flower you can find in your neighbourhood florist. The symbolism is entirely intentional.
- I look forward to seeing you (and your boyfriend) around.
- Sincerely, Ushijima Wakatoshi

- It’s the December after Iwaizumi’s last year in university when Tokyo welcomes him with a new ad campaign for Bright Days toothpaste, and Oikawa Tooru—fresh off a run at the 2016 Summer Olympics—has decided to grace the city with his signature grin, a flip of his wayfarer sunglasses, and the most irrepressible tag line for the signboard above.
- ’Are you in love with me?’ it reads, Oikawa taunts, and Iwaizumi can only find the whole thing a pointless exercise in the usual flirtations.
- (Because i would never fall for you in a million years, he types out in reply, before deciding against it.)
- here comes your man by newamsterdam
- iwaoi | teen and up | 8,801
- Iwaizumi’s left his cell phone on the bench, and while Suga keeps his gaze away from Iwaizumi the phone lights up with a new message.
- Iwa-chan, it reads, Have a good day today! Good luck! <3 <3 <3
- Suga chokes. It’s hard to imagine anyone calling the scowling and fierce Doctor Iwaizumi “Iwa-chan.” But marriage probably comes with all sorts of liberties.
- Mrs. Iwaizumi must be quite the doting wife, Suga thinks. Delivering hand-made bentos and sending along loving messages.
- (No one really knows much about the new surgical resident, Doctor Iwaizumi, other than the fact that he’s married. Suga’s determined to find out more, and make a friend of him in the process.)

- Some people develop powers as they grow older; others don’t. This fact doesn’t bother Oikawa Tooru too much, at least not when he’s young. Then, at eight years old, Iwaizumi Hajime discovers his own ability. He’s stronger than anyone could be, given human limitations. It’s a broad and useful power, one that could take Iwaizumi down any number of paths in the future. He’s discovered his ability early, too, and all of the adults in the neighborhood say that he’s got a bright future ahead of him.
- Oikawa could’ve told them that ages ago—he’s always known Iwaizumi is special, long before he started being able to lift furniture with one hand. Everything Iwaizumi does, Oikawa has always done with him. So he goes home and waits for his own ability to manifest.
- Nearly ten years later, on the eve of the last tournament of his high school volleyball career, he’s still waiting.

- But still. Texting Iwaizumi to come over shouldn't be terrifying—none of the things he's been doing with Iwaizumi for the past two weeks should be terrifying. And yet here he is, so overwhelmed with the knowledge that while he and Iwaizumi have always done everything together, there were superlatives they never dared to acknowledge, and being together in every sense of the word entailed an everything that was much more vast, much more limitless.

Most of all, he regretted telling himself he’d never fall in love with the three boys sitting across from him.

- ”You will never speak to this with anybody,” Oikawa says as he crouches down in front of Kageyama. He places a hand on his forehead and frowns when he touches warm skin. “God, are you an idiot? Who attends practice with a fever?”
- Kageyama mumbles something under his breath. He reaches up, touches Oikawa’s wrist and pulls his hand away from his forehead. With a sigh, Oikawa slides his hand under Kageyama’s knees and back. He lifts him up with no problem. Kageyama is oddly light in his arms. He tries not to be worried about that.

- “Oohira Reon,” Reon answers. “It was nice to meet you.”
- “Yeah, nice to meet you, too.” Kai smiles, for a moment, before turning away – and Reon wishes, strangely, that he could extend this moment – that he could hold onto that smile forever.

Ryuunosuke raises an eyebrow at him, waiting for him to move so they can both get to bed, but all he does is stare back, eyes wide and unblinking.

- and leans down, and kisses him.
- (Neither Ryuunosuke nor Yuu are quite prepared for everything that follows from a drunk decision one night - not for the thrill of sleeping together, and not for the pain of falling in love with each other when Yuu's job means that Ryuunosuke only sees him after months at a time.)

She wants to go to a top medical school, but she also wants to love her life with a violent passion, the way Hinata and Kageyama love volleyball. She wants to support her friends solidly and steadily, the way Daichi and Nishinoya receive serves. She wants to encourage everyone around her, the way Suga and Tanaka cheer on their teammates. She wants to never give up, the way the Karasuno volleyball team never admits defeat until the ball has hit the ground for the last time.

- A Split-Second of Violence by maychorian
- karasuno | teen and up | 122,310 (38/38)
- Hinata is loud. Hinata is annoying. Hinata is also passionate and sunny and bright, and so full of joyful energy that he brings out the best in everyone around him, even if they occasionally want to slap his head to make him shut up for awhile. When a split second of violence threatens to take all of this away, Karasuno responds with a fury.
- Alternate Perspectives on a Split-Second of Violence by maychorian
- karasuno | teen and up | 20,409 (12/12)
- Ficlets, drabbles, and missing scenes from “A Split-Second of Violence.” Chapter 12: Yachi can’t quite understand what just happened to Hinata. But she will do what she can for the team, even so.
- We’ll Figure That Out When We Get There by fathomfive
- date kogyo | general | 2,186
- Moniwa runs into a little trouble at the train station, and Datekou tries to help more enthusiastically than is really necessary. The question of who saves whom from what may actually be beside the point, but this much is clear: the Iron Wall is a full-time occupation.

- miya twins | teen and up | 10,528
- The memory roads look like the old city. The Osaka they see in posters outside the manzai theatre in Tennoji, with bicycles on the roads and power lines criss-crossing a wide open sky, instead of rail tracks in whips of neon. When he’s there, the first thing Osamu always thinks is: how quiet it is. How quiet memories are, compared to the constant electric hum of the grid. Many years after his first run on the roads, he will ride the lift up to Kita Shinsuke’s rooftop farm and he will recognise the same quiet in that place.
- (In which Osamu and Atsumu will hack your memories for a price, and it turns out to be greater than either of them imagined.)

- kageyama tobio | general | 1,459
- (ya’aburnee (Arabic): literally “you bury me,” a term of endearment expressing the desire to die before a loved one, rather than live without them.)

- miya twins | teen and up | 2,427
- “Do you know your way home?”
- “Yep,” says Osamu. But the home he’s picturing is three hours away by bullet train, a cramped bedroom where he never had enough space or a moment to himself, where he never had to worry about his future when the biggest worry was how to prevent Atsumu from stealing his pudding.
- (Or: Osamu goes to college in Tokyo and tries to adapt to life without Atsumu.)

- There's consequences for falling for someone you made a pact to never love, Osamu knows this. He's here in Italy to try and forget. But what does it mean when the man he tried to leave behind opens every door he promised to close?

- “Kunimi-san,” he calls out. “Kunimi-san, water,” he says. “Nice work, Kunimi-san!” he exclaims. None of the other ball boys even attempted to give you what you needed. Only he did. Flabbergasted by the commonality of the scene throughout the week, you walk away with confusion in your eyes.
