Summary
Dan Heng has been looking to the sun ever since he was released from the Shackling Prison all those years ago. No matter where he went, where he ran, what and who he saw, he'd always look back to the sun, but no sun he'd ever seen could ever match up to the eyes that looked at him with more kindness than he deserved that day he was set free- and exiled from Xianzhou Luofu.
But he's no longer exiled. And he's once again face to face with the same sunlit eyes that set him free.
There are centuries dividing himself and Jing Yuan, with a dead man in between.
Dan Heng wants to close that gap. But doesn't know how.
This is how it starts.

“Let’s get married,” Kojiro said.
(It was the phenomenon of being so close to something that you lose the details, or knowing something so well and so confidently that you don’t bother to look twice.)

Summary
Ryuunosuke started his channel, originally, as a means to make his sister smile and laugh when they lived in that oppressive house. It grew far beyond that and allowed them to escape, and now it's his means of income: but he has always kept a tight lid on his privacy, separating his personal life from the persona he puts on YouTube and social media accounts.
While struggling to come up with ideas, he clicks on a video on his recommended feed and it leads him to the work of a reclusive musician under the penname Byakko Chain. All Ryuunosuke knows about him at first is his singing voice, his hands, and his guitar.
And those walls come tumbling down.

Summary
Ushijima knows that (1) obviously, manufactured wings like the ones described in the story would never work and (2) in the troposphere, altitude and temperature are inversely related, meaning that the higher one goes, the colder it gets because of the density of air particles decreases as altitude increases, so, really Icarus would have died from the lack of oxygen before he was able to get close enough for the Sun to melt away his wings. Eita says that Ushijima is dumber than a pile of rocks because clearly that isn’t the point of the story.
What Ushijima doesn’t know is what role Hinata Shouyou fills: is he Icarus, or is he the Sun?
He supposes it doesn’t matter— even the Sun must obey the laws of gravity.
or: Hinata Shouyou doesn't know how to doubt himself. He believes he can fly, and so he does.

Summary
"The first time that Hinata met Atsumu was at the Spring High when Hinata was fifteen years old and Atsumu was sixteen. Atsumu had pointed at him from across the net and promised to toss to him one day. The second time that Hinata met Atsumu was when Hinata was eighteen years old and Atsumu was twenty-two."
Hinata slips through time and Atsumu waits. He's waited, been waiting, will always wait, because he's steady.

Summary
Bruce thought his family was complete. Sure, Dick might be mad at him and ignoring all his calls, and Damian mad about Dick not returning calls, but that didn't change anything. His family was complete, even if they weren't talking to each other.
Then a scrawny little kid jacked his tires, and Bruce started to question what it takes to be family.

Summary
Kenma reluctantly spoons vanilla into his mouth, watching the sun set. And when everything is dusted in stripes of pale orange and purple and gold, he glances at Kuroo’s profile muddled in the shadows of the descending sun, and wonders whether he had somehow accidentally made friends with an impressive sort of boy. The ice-cream melted under his thumb feels maddeningly sticky, like he’ll never wash it away thoroughly enough and it would leave its mark wherever he touched before he could.
Kenma has never really thought of anyone as good-looking before, never really cared enough about these things to notice them. But Kuroo is objectively so, in this light, in this angle—maybe all the time.
(A Kuroo and Kenma life story, told in five acts).

Summary
“It’s a three-and-a-half hour walk,” Kenma points out, on the subject of the cat’s home in a town inside Ama District. “Why aren’t we taking the train?”
“That cancels out the point of a road trip,” Kuroo argues.
“Railroads are roads.”
“We’re currently leading a frugal existence.”

Or, in which two childhood friends go on a road trip and Kenma builds up a quest.

Summary
There’s a picture. Kenma blinks, looking at the little calico cat, being held up next to the face of a guy with stupidly messy hair and a crooked grin.
Cute.
The— the cat. The cat is cute.
Just the cat.
Kuroo starts spending a lot of time at the flower shop Kenma works at. Kenma definitely isn't into him.- Language:
