Summary
God, maybe it's because the space they gave each other after their breakup only lasted a few weeks, but Wille feels just as strong for Simon as he always has. It's hard to keep his distance at times, like now, with Simon shoved up next to him on the Erikkson's too-small couch. His entire right side is covered by Simon. Wille so desperately wishes he could reach out for Simon's hand, or lean on his shoulder, or—god-forbid—kiss him.
It's New Year's Eve at the Eriksson's a year after the infamous video leaked, and Wille tries again.

Summary
“After graduation,” Hinata continues, still watching the match, still hugging the ball. “I’m gonna go. Learn beach volleyball from the beginning, you know? Relearn everything from different ground.”
The laptop keeps playing. Brazil scores. The crowd roars through tiny speakers, but he finds Hinata turning to look at him then, grin already forming, bright and certain and so achingly sure of this reckless, impossible thing he’s decided on.“Isn’t that amazing?”
Tobio hears the sound of a perfect spike— clean, devastating, and final. The crowd goes silent.
—or, Hinata announces his plans for the future, and there is absolutely nothing Tobio can do. (Except, there is.)

Summary
Those few points Hinata scored … they had felt like such an insult at the time, even though he knew they did nothing to change the outcome. Now he wondered… had he gotten what he wanted then—an indestructible team as fast and flying as high as he could set them—they would have left Hinata without hope. Completely destroyed. Then what? Might Hinata have quit the sport completely? Would he have joined Karasuno or would he have picked a school closer to home? How would he be different if Hinata hadn’t been by his side for those three years of high school?
Sometimes Kageyama closes his eyes and tries to imagine that. He always comes to the same conclusion: Hinata wouldn’t quit, he’d show up at Karasuno ten times more annoying and only marginally less talented.
Kageyama is 21. When Hinata shows up at his door out of the blue one night, he thinks about how they used to make out in high school.

Summary
All those years ago, Shouyou proclaimed he was of those who sprouted from the concrete. Once he arrived in Rio, he wondered if exchanging the hard cracks of concrete with the dry, dense bed of sand was worth it.
But then he sees the lines of palm trees taking roots on the golden sprawling beach, and the tiny particles of sand—wet by the waves that reach the shoreline—clinging to the wiry muscles of his toned calves, and he thinks, perhaps it’s never been about the land.
The unmaking of one Hinata Shouyou, and the making of one Oikawa Tooru, together.Series
