    Summary

    Fourth-year cleanup hitter Sawa Eijun has spent years chasing every fastball, every stolen base, and every fleeting chance to prove himself. Now, in his final game for Ryukoku University, everything comes down to one swing.

    Between the roar of the crowd and the echo of memories long gone, his mother’s laughter, his younger brother’s grin. Eijun must face not only the pitcher before him but the weight of a life defined by sweat, sacrifice, and stubborn determination.

    One swing could seal victory. One swing could seal his legacy. But fate might have more in store than he ever imagined.

    Summary

    It was unexpected when Miyuki had gotten hurt during their match with Seiko. The catcher kept playing like nobody’s business and unsurprisingly, Miyuki had been on strict orders to rest for their next game, limited to play with just 60% of his abilities in their next match at Koshein in five days.

    But what really caught everyone off guard was Sawamura. He'd come up with a plan—one that was surprisingly clever, even by their coach’s standards. Of course, it also meant piling a mountain of pressure onto himself and declaring a war against his own stamina. Not that he minded. If Miyuki couldn’t carry the team this time, then Eijun would. That’s what a battery does, right?

    If only things hadn’t taken an unexpected turn in the middle of the game—one that put Sawamura right in the center of it all.

    ---

    In which- Eijun keeps doing the unexpected and it only makes the team more and more surpised, and it makes Miyuki Kazuya only fall harder and harder.

    Summary

    Eijun isn’t feeling like himself. Ever since he hit Shirakawa’s helmet in the match against Inashiro, his mental health has just kept spiraling down. Something isn’t right, and he can’t figure out what. His own mind and thoughts are like an enemy, the team feel far away and the support is nowhere to be seen.

    During practice one day, he can’t keep up with his panicked thoughts and collapses.
    It’s not only the yips fighting him, it’s also his, apparently, second nature. He can’t tell the team, can’t be of any bigger burden than he already is.

    The worst part is that he needs help, and he don’t feel like he can ask anyone for it, or trust in the kindness that is shown.
    ---

    Heads up!
    This fic will follow the yips arc, from episode 70 in the anime and forward. The story will weave itself into the Canon universe, giving it a new dimension and leaving a lot of scenes and dialogs intact.

    Summary

    Eijun wants to drop hints that he likes Miyuki before confessing. Miyuki is blissfully unaware.

    First, he must drop hints. Miyuki is pretty observant, so that shouldn’t be hard, right? Then, he must feel out Miyuki’s reactions to all of this. If Miyuki seems receptive, then he’ll go in with the final step: the actual confession. And then, Miyuki will be Eijun’s boyfriend and catch for him whenever he asks because that’s what a good boyfriend does!

    It’s a foolproof plan, really.

    (n.) ...at its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause...

    Sawamura probably doesn't fucking stand a chance.
