    Summary

    ibasho (居場所/いばしょ) (noun): "the place where one belongs," or in other words, "home within a person."

    In the days leading up to their Korean debut, Nicholas realizes that Euijoo is going home. He can’t seem to tell whether that means Euijoo is leaving, or whether he is about to be left behind somewhere he didn’t even know he lived.

    Summary

    They haven’t seen each other in person in three years. Nicholas looks the same, only he doesn’t. There’s something more calm about him, less manic in his desire to be wild and free while pressed into the confines of an idol role. He’s a little bigger, and a little softer around the face. He’s still as terribly striking to Euijoo, making his palms itch.

    Euijoo shields his eyes with a hand as he looks up at Nicholas. “Hi, Nichol,” he starts, because someone has to.

    “You think you could come here without me knowing?” Nicholas asks.

     

    Euijoo takes a break from his acting and variety darling career to go on a trip to Taipei.

    Summary

    "Well, you couldn’t script it, could you? Best mates as kids, apparently, and proper rivals now—and the big question, really, is whether they can let it go now that it’s come to it, or if old grudges really do die hard…”

    (The soccer/football fic in which the tension is built less from actual rivalry and more from a complicated shared past. And wanting each other's bodies, obviously.)

    oh i needed this style of writing so bad. pacing was deliciously succinct without feeling too rushed, and ofc the tension and smut was so desirable.

    Summary

    He should have listened to his instincts; maybe then, years of pain might have been avoided.

    But life can be really merciless sometimes. Days turned to nights, turned to months, turned to a year. And suddenly they were seventeen and none of them were in love with the right person.

    (Or: Suna Rintarou liked to act like he was above it all, but he thought perhaps he was the stupidest of them all.)

    Summary

    “Mmm,” Sakusa hums, then straightens up. “Oh, there was one thing I forgot to set out.”

    Atsumu clutches his towel as Sakusa walks over to his dresser and crouches down to find something in the bottom drawer. When he turns around, he’s clutching a large plug. Atsumu thinks about trying to make it an hour with that inside him and feels the color drain from his face.

    “Omi, that’s mean.”

    Sakusa laughs quietly. “You like me mean.”
