Summary
Shizuo’s not into violence, and Izaya’s practically violence incarnate, so it’s no surprise that Shizuo’s not into him, either. (If only his stupid body would get the message—and all of his stupid friends, too.)
A portrait of three months in the high school careers of Ikebukuro’s beasts.
Shizuo does not hesitate. He does not think. In the heartbeat between seeing Izaya teetering on the edge and not seeing Izaya on the edge, Shizuo’s body moves, throwing itself across and off the building after him. It is only when he is falling, tamping down on the scream that threatens to rip itself out of his lungs, that he scrapes together a single coherent thought: fuck!
The building is tall, but gravity is a force to be reckoned with, and, of course, there is nothing he can really do to help Izaya in midair. He keeps his eyes open as long as he can, even as they water, and as he careens toward a premature death, he picks out the smudge that is Izaya below him, falling with his face to the sky. To Shizuo.
Shizuo cannot see him, but he catches the glint of his teeth as Izaya laughs.
His second (and possibly last ever) thought: I’m going to kill this guy.

Summary
Huitzilin is the greatest artist of her generation, and yet she carves out time every week to decorate and hand-deliver letters of challenge to Citlali’s doorstep. This gives her another superlative—Citlali’s greatest and most annoying rival.
(That the letters include lines like How do you feel about tea this week? Please let me know! and I developed some new colors, let’s try them out together! does not change Citlali’s mind on the matter.)
A story in letters.

Capitano asks Ororon to lead him to his death. It’s a hard request to accept, but an impossible one to turn down.

Summary
He’s annoying, talks too loudly, has absolutely no concept of personal boundaries, and strips naked without so much as a single ounce of hesitation. Even so—it doesn’t matter which way you look at it—Murai Yakumo isn’t a bad person.
Sometimes, it takes a little blood to realize what’s right in front of you.

Summary
Kageyama Tobio is a professional racing driver, the new rookie sensation who's about to take home the Piston Cup in his first year.
But a race run recklessly leads to an unprecedented three-way tie, and a tie breaker race is set for a week's time. On the way to the International Speedway, Kageyama gets lost, and ends up crashing into Karasuno Springs - a small country town in the middle of nowhere, ruining their main road in the process. Forced to stay and fix it, Kageyama feels the whole thing is a waste of time, until he meets the town's handyman - Hinata Shouyou, a local dirt track racer.
They're very different, but a shared passion for racing draws Kageyama in, as he tries to work out why Hinata is just a handyman in the first place despite his talent for racing. And over the course of the week he ends up discovering that maybe there's more to life than winning races all by himself.
(A racing AU; based on the story of Pixar's Cars, but everybody is human.)

Summary
Sakusa’s eyes are very dark naturally, sucking in all surrounding rays of light and crushing them in his pupils. For an athlete, he is rather pale. His lips look very pink in comparison. Atsumu is suddenly catastrophically aware that in this instance, ‘accent’ is a euphemism. “Good enough for your Olympic-size ego, Miya?”
(In which Atsumu realizes that he is attracted to Sakusa Kiyoomi in the most inconvenient way possible.)
Now with gorgeous gorgeous art by Quip/pseudoanalytics!

Summary
“I just want to be loved,” Childe says to himself, to whoever is listening. “Is that too much to ask?”
They are on the roof once more, this time Childe’s foot touches the edge of the building as he daydreams of something that cannot be. The sky is blank and cloudy and perhaps Lumine fears it’ll all end when he takes a step.
“Not at all,” she says. It’s still the truth.
Contrary to popular belief, Childe hates his family but loves them all the same.
