    Summary

    Born to a family of swindlers, Miya Atsumu spends his days picking pockets, conning nobles, and lifting precious gems. But after a series of his mistakes cost the family good money, he finds himself eager to prove he's still worth his seat at the table.

    Opportunity strikes when his father returns from the Sakusa estate with a scheme to steal their fortune from right under their noses, a scheme that requires Atsumu's charm and expertise at its head.

    The job should be simple: befriend Sakusa Kiyoomi, take his key to the safe, and steal the jewels within.

    But Sakusa's not what Atsumu expects, and the closer they get, the harder it becomes to follow through with the plan.

    Summary

    Clearly Iwaizumi had a checkered past. Kyoutani has never asked about it, nor has Iwaizumi ever brought it up. He knows it’s a sore spot for his mentor, just like the gorgeous Monte Carlo he keeps hidden away is, so he leaves it alone. Out on the streets, you learn a little something about when to turn a blind eye in order to survive; Kyoutani knows better than most to leave the past of men like Iwaizumi well alone.

    It’s probably got something to do with the boy in the polaroids, though.

    Retired pickpocket & conman Iwaizumi Hajime receives an invitation he can't possibly decline, pulling him back into his old life to work a job with his old friends and ex-lover Oikawa Tooru. His mostly-legit apprentice Kyoutani gets dragged along for the ride. It's a complete mess.

    Summary

    chiaroscuro: the interplay of darkness and light.

    --

    “We’re called guardians,” Kuro says. “Over time, people have had different names for us, but it really all comes back to that. We’re shifters, shaper-changers… the name doesn’t really matter. What does is that we’re supposed to keep the two kinds of magical forces in the world balanced.” He rattles this off with a roll of his eyes, as though it’s something he’s heard many times over.

    Kenma thinks back to the curling snake made of shadows, to Sugawara’s words: People who shine brightly attract a lot of darkness.

    “Shadows and light,” he says, not quite a question.

    Kuro nods approvingly. “Basically, yeah. There’s a bit more to it than that—shadow magic is born of independence, of isolation and loneliness. Light magic is connections, the relationships between people. Most people have a low dose of both, go through their entire lives not realizing there’s magic in the world.”

    “But not you,” Kenma prompts.

    “Unfortunately.”
