    Summary

    The balcony can snugly hold two people. Iori leans against the railing, paint coming off in flecks under his palms, watching the city. It is less like a city than darkness interspersed by shapes of light: stationary in buildings, blinking overhead from planes, roaming on cars and people on their phones.

    A city of this size has a way of making you feel lost. Boss had extended a warm, kind hand, reminding him of his worth, believing in it. And Yohei—

    —is also leaning against the railing, and his presence dissipates any worded feelings Iori might have been considering. Makes them too real. So he doesn’t think about them, makes them quite literally unreal.

    Iori slinks down to sit on the floor.

    Summary

    Don’t panic. Call Kevin Day.

    You have no idea what you’re getting into, making Jean Moreau a Trojan.

    Jean has always been something of a black box. Whereas Riko Moriyama and Kevin Day spent so much of their childhoods at Evermore in the spotlight, the details of Jean Moreau’s personal life have been kept largely in the dark. In post-game interviews, he’s always blended into the monolith of Ravens standing behind Riko. But until Kevin called a couple weeks ago, you thought you at least had a general impression of Jean Moreau: an absolute nightmare of a backliner, with the ruthless ambition and arrogance expected of any Raven — especially one marked for Riko’s so-called Perfect Court.

    The person waiting for you in baggage claim at LAX is like someone else entirely.

    Do’s and don’ts for rehabilitating an ex-Raven, by Jeremy Knox.

    Summary

    “Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”

    “Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.

    “How do you know?”

    Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.

    That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.

    “He has to know,” Andrew says.

    “Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”

    Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

    Summary

    I often have many A3! prompts enter my mind, but since I lack skill, I could never flesh out the ideas in a desirable way. Here, I will come from time to time to state these thoughts and if anyone is inspired enough to write them out, be my guest. All I ask is that you simply give me credit for the idea (tag me, I would love to read what you create!).

    I will list the genres, characters, and ships I thought up with each one of these. Of course, you can always add more to these in any way you see fit. Thank you, I hope I am able to inspire someone.

    “and when’s that supposed to be?”

    youichi looked at him for a brief moment; studying his features. memorizing them— the dips and curves of his cheekbones, the hard-set eyes that melted when youichi kissed him. he was a creature of complexities and contradictions, youichi couldn’t help loving him.

    “when you’re ready to love me back,” said youichi.

    Summary

    To put it simply, he is flustered, but so is Miyuki from his red skin and the slight tremble Youichi feels beneath his palms. If Youichi doesn't do this now, he'll lose the momentum of his heart careening straight into Miyuki's rough hands.

    in which a baseball manga forces the hands of two, literally and figuratively.
