    Summary

    “Few can forget, of course, the drama of the last PIFA World Cup two years ago, when Japanese football player Yoichi Isagi was outed as gay by fellow teammate Rin Itoshi in an altercation that took place before the semi-finals match with Brazil. Isagi was asked to step away from the tournament as a result of the host country’s policies regarding homosexuality and concerns for his safety.”

    “Many say that losing their captain is what cost Japan that match, you know.”
    _______
    Rin outs Isagi by accident at the 2022 World Cup to avoid being outed himself. Now, two years later, they’ve both been selected to play for the Japanese National Team once again. Rin knows that this is his only chance at redemption. Isagi still has some lingering resentment. They’ll have to find a way to work together again if they want a chance to qualify for the next World Cup tournament.

    Winning is the only thing that matters. Right?

    Summary

    Isagi and his stupid, crazy, insane eyes that see right through him like he’s a glass house. They're the ocean at the drop of a cliff ledge: Dangerous. Beckoning. Fatal. Rin wants to kill him, or something—destroy Isagi before he can destroy Rin. Not that Isagi ever could, of course.

    Thoughtfully, Sae says, “You can’t just be normal about things. It’s always indifference or obsession.”

    After suffering a grueling defeat on the national stage, Itoshi Rin enters the off-season plagued with bloodlust—the next time he faces his long-standing rival on the pitch, Isagi Yoichi, he promises to devour him whole.

    That was the plan, at least, but their reunion arrives much sooner. When he and Isagi Yoichi cross paths again, it’s at the Wellness Studio he does yoga classes at. Without the distance of the game between them, Rin realizes how thin the line between love and hate really is.

    or: Rin does yoga. Isagi takes up pottery. Things happen.

    Summary

    “What did you do now Merlin?”

    “Got cursed.”

    Merlin slumped into the room and fell onto the bench of the table across from Gaius, laying his head dramatically on a book of something or other Arthur didn’t bother to look too closely at.

    “Cursed.” Gaius echoed, unimpressed.

    “Cursed.” Merlin sighed back, like some kind of weepy maiden.

    “He can’t lie,” Arthur supplied, walking further into the room and standing behind Merlin, pushing his head off the book roughly. Merlin squawked and glared at him before shaking his head and turning back to Gaius.

    "It gets worse."

    Summary

    Arthur could see his father glaring down - face red and eyes narrowed as he looked at Merlin with clear distaste.

    "Once this over, sorcerer...I’ll burn you."

    "You’ve already tried that," Merlin’s voice answered and Arthur had to bite his fist to keep from making any noise. “You need to accept you can’t kill me… Hand me that blanket, please.”

    “I’m sure there must be some method… Beheading?”

    “No, we tried that.”

    “Hanging?”

    “I just sort of... Swung there, remember?”

    There was another pause.

    “I should have made you keep that dragon below the castle so I could feed you to it.”

    “Kilgharrah? He won’t eat me, but if you want to torture me than making me listen to his nonsense for an hour might do it.” Merlin said and there was a soft sigh from the other end of the room. “I’m glad you agreed to help me though. Usually I have to do the grunt work of saving Arthur myself.”

    “I can’t wait to kill you.” 

    Or

    Uther finds out about Merlin’s magic, but can’t seem to kill him. Merlin is just trying to protect Arthur. They become a begrudgingly effective duo. Arthur doesn't understand why they think he isn't noticing this.
