    Summary

    Leonardo has insomnia. His brothers knew this.

    Leo is prone to crash pretty much anywhere he can during the day. His brothers also knew this.

    What they didn't know was just how absurd (and possibly dangerous) some of the places he falls asleep can be.

    Summary

    Hinata and Kageyama have been together for nearly a year and are, for the most part, blissfully happy.

    But recently Hinata has been coming home later, working harder, and simply driving himself into the ground. Worried about his increasing exhaustion, Kageyama agrees to take on a new job writing music for a television show - an agreement that requires him to spend a week in a remote country village similar to the show's location.

    Seizing the opportunity to force Hinata to have a break, Kageyama arranges for them to stay at the local farm, in a holiday that will force them to confront one of life's biggest challenges: the work-life balance.

    (A sequel to love biscuits; Hinata and Kageyama (and Carrot) go on holiday, encounter goats, and there's a pregnant labrador called Lemon.)

    Summary

    Kageyama Tobio leads a simple life: he goes to work and writes music for money, he goes home and writes music for himself. His only company being his beloved cat, Carrot, who is sweet and perfect and perhaps just a little bit spoiled. So when Kageyama takes Carrot to the vets for her annual check-up, only to be told by the vet that she is drastically overweight and needs to go on a diet, he is horrified. And rather insulted.

    Reluctantly agreeing to put his cat on a diet, Kageyama is at first determined to simply put up with Hinata, his new vet, until Ukai recovers from his bad back and can return. But, unfortunately, things don't go quite to plan as Carrot becomes immediately smitten with Hinata, her owner following suit soon after.

    (A romantic comedy AU; Kageyama, a music producer with a very fat cat, falls for Hinata the veterinarian.)

    Summary

    “That Kageyama of yours is never coming to get you. No-one is. You’re always going to be held here, as my little bargaining chip – “

    Hinata’s chest finally expands sharply with a gasp, his pulse roaring in his ears, the cellar and that man’s shadowed face evaporating instantly in favour of a different deep, inky blackness.

    It takes him a few seconds to realise that he’s awake.

    -

    An extra for pursuit: Hinata thought that he had gotten away from De Killer relatively unscathed. He was wrong.

    Summary

    Hinata tilts his head ever so slightly, eyes sparking. “Bluffing’s a game, Kageyama, you just need to learn how to play it right.”

    Kageyama Tobio is a successful defence attorney with everything he needs: a growing career, a steady queue of clients, and a reputation that's going to open doors for him. It's all going well - on paper.

    Until one day, when a teenage girl arrives at his office begging him to get her brother off the hook for a murder charge, and Kageyama finds himself defending Hinata Shouyou: a poker player with a reputation for being undefeated.

    It should be just another case. But Kageyama, realising that his life in law is perhaps too lonely, too stale, keeps this one client in his life. Because something about Hinata is addicting, and maybe this is just the gamble that he needs to take.

    (A lawyer AU; based on the events in the Ace Attorney series.)
