    Summary

    All Reki wants is to make friends in college, but so far he's been out of luck. So when Langa Hasegawa wanders into his campus coffeeshop, an awkward finance major with a big heart and a secret passion for birds, Reki's whole college experience comes to life. He and Langa study together, play frisbee on the lawn together, crash in Reki's dorm bed together, share sweaters and whispered secrets and soft touches, and Reki's so happy with him that he's terrified to let anything ruin their friendship.

    Even his own feelings.

     

    (reki and langa navigate college, homesickness, important life decisions and found families, and the aching feeling of discovering friendship for the first time)

    Summary

    "You know, I always thought I'd live somewhere with lots of people around," Olruggio tells him. The wine in his vessel is a rich pink colour. Qifrey made them olives and cheese with cabroccoli wrapped in ham for a late-night snack, but the pleasure was in the making, not in the eating. He sips his own vessel, listening. "But it's really nice out here, isn't it? Peaceful. Good for focussing."

    "I think you would be even more of a hermit, if you had the choice," Qifrey says. "Lost in your work for weeks on end."

    Olruggio looks sheepish, rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand. "You're probably right. I never thought I'd be that kind of person, either… weird how much things change, isn't it?"

    "And how much they stay the same," Qifrey murmurs.

    A temporary fix-it.

    Summary

    “What?” Sae narrows his eyes, still keeping one of Ryusei’s arms pinned to the mat below them. “Why are you staring at me?”

    “I really like you, Sae-chan. Like, really. I like you so much.”

    Sae freezes.

    He tries to play it cool.

    “And? What are you going to do about it?”

    Or, Shidou moves in, and Sae goes through the motions.

    Summary

    “Sorry, Yoshiki,” Hikaru groans as tears come out of one eye and more of him comes out of the other. “Ughh, I don’t – ”

    Yoshiki can see how hard he’s trying to calm himself down, but it just isn’t working.

    “It’s ok,” Yoshiki says, quiet. “It’s ok. Instead of shovin’ it back inside completely, can you try just...lettin’ it out? Just a little bit?”

    He has no clue how any of this works, but maybe a half-measure is better than trying to force it all at once.

    “Okay,” Hikaru says, but it sounds like a sob. More of the unknowable, incomprehensible swirl leaks out into the dark room.

    “Yoshiki – shit – ‘m sorry but can I…” Hikaru’s face – what’s visible behind the bloom of him – twists in a small kind of agony. “Can I touch you? Not much. Just – ”

    It's been years since Hikaru first took the body of Yoshiki's dead best friend. Despite everything - every horror and hurt - they managed to find a home in each other. Not quite friends or family. More and not. What they have is complicated, but precious.

    But when Yoshiki escapes their small town – to college, to Tokyo – Hikaru follows. And things start to change for them both.
