Summary
In some ways, saying goodbye to his father happened all too fast, time slipping ceaselessly through grasping fingertips no matter how hard he tried to hold on. And yet, at the same time, it felt like an eternity—that long, painful wait for the inevitable end.
A study in grief and in picking up the pieces. For those left behind.

Summary
Another pass slams into his palms, the faint stinging ignored as Cheng Xiaoshi leaps into the air, his eyes fixed on the shining basketball hoop. As the ball sinks in, Cheng Xiaoshi can’t help the shout of exhilaration tearing from his chest. When he turns around, the whole court is awash in light, the setting sun gilding the loops of the wire fence and tracing gold around the edges of the smile that had slipped onto Lu Guang’s face.

Summary
Makochi has a problem.
Specifically, it has a runaway problem- in the form of a scrappy child who refuses to let anyone get close to him. No one knows where Sakura came from, or how he got here- he's wary of people and never sticks around for long. Bofurin has its hands full just trying to wrangle the eleven year old. But with time and effort, maybe they can slowly coax their latest stray into trusting them...
(or: 11 year old runaway Sakura Haruka finds his way to Makochi, and slowly learns to trust people again.)

Summary
“Mob—!”
Shigeo's barrier shatters around him like a window. His shriek is cut off.
Reigen reacts. It might be the first time in his life that he reacted with his body before his brain.
An ill-fated job goes horrifically wrong. But not as wrong as it could have.

Summary
If it were anyone else, his tone would have been teasing, and the thoughtful lift of his brow would have been playful, and the tilt to his mouth would have leaned closer to a warm smile.
As it is, only bits and pieces make it through Kageyama’s careful repression, shining like irrepressible dawn through tiny cracks in a window shade, and Teruki blinks rapidly, something like sunspots dancing across his eyes.

Summary
Kuroko is no stranger to being unseen, which, he would admit, is a nice way to put it.
He might have earned some strange looks, or even questions, if he ever voiced his true opinion on the matter. Most people despise being ignored or forgotten. It’s an itch under the skin, a loneliness that weighs heavily.
But for Kuroko, it was different. Rather than an unfortunate trait, as some have called it, he always saw it as his way of living.
Or: A study in purpose (or usefulness).
