Summary
If he had considered it hard enough, he could have come to the conclusion that a part of him longed for the way he had felt the last time he let Hajime do a little more than touch him. But Tooru didn’t. Because in the end, Iwaizume Hajime was just a boxer. And a boy, at that. That’s all that he could ever be.
And Suga was wrong, really— it wasn’t denial that stopped him from being anything more. It was self preservation. But if there was one thing Tooru had failed to learn in life, it was that the world always bites back just when you think you have it right.
OR: an iwaoi AU where Oikawa is determined to strive for success, and is forced by Iwaizume to a devastating realisation that there’s more to life than ballet :)
(yet another chatfic with way too much writing and an overconfident author who has too many unfinished fics already)

Summary
In the kingdom of Hancastle, beauty is currency—and Oikawa is priceless. Shackled in silk, owned by a Viscount, and paraded like an ornament, he survives only by dreaming of a world he’ll never see: snow, pines, mountains, freedom.
But the night he’s dragged into an alley behind a tavern, everything changes.
Rourke Black—feared pirate captain of The Black Cage, a man carved from scars and storms—sees him. And Rourke is not a man who looks away.What begins as a single violent rescue spirals into open defiance, war on the horizon, and a hunted fugitive aboard the most notorious ship on the eastern seas.
Oikawa learns of the freedom he had dreamed of for his entire life. The man who gives it to him would never dare to take it away again.
Oikawa doesn’t know whether Rourke is his salvation or his ruin.
But for the first time in his life… he has a choice.
And the world is about to burn for it.Bookmarked by tbse

Summary
Tooru feels an intimate connection to the moon.
He wonders if his heart lulls in tune with the tides, a semblant victim to the unwavering control of the beautiful milky crescent hanging in the sky. It steals the attention from all the other stars, look at me, in all my celestial glory. But Tooru knows it's nothing more than overcompensation.
Overcompensation for the dark underbelly cast away in the shadows, for the torment fomenting in the silent abyss. It follows him like an ugly shadow, clinging on like a petulant child – pathetic, unfamiliar, but inextricably him. But no one wants to see that shadow, no one wants to see the reality of his mind, the obscure culmination of his existential fears and his intrinsic self loathing and his uncontrollable actions and the ugliness that he tries so hard to hide.
Because if the moon isn’t shining, then what’s the point of it at all?

Summary
One: Iwaizumi’s competitive edge was not going to let him back down from this challenge, which meant he was going to do his absolute best to prove that he was a manager that Oikawa was going to hate to lose.
Two: He was going to have to get some kind of drink carrier for his bike, and prepare to rack up a massive amount of points at the coffee shop.
Three: Despite the man’s unworldly beauty and ability to dazzle Iwaizumi into a tailspin, he absolutely, positively, without a shadow of a doubt, cannot stand Oikawa Tooru.
