Upon returning to the Palace from yet another expedition, Hirato meets the newcomer to the Royal Court: Akari, a scientist from the famed lands in the South. A staunch believer in logic and science like no one around him. At first Hirato is not impressed but the reality proves to be much more intriguing than the rumour. (Mediaeval AU)
Aomine reminisces about his past with Kise as he comes face to face with his worries and concerns at a truly unexpected place and time...
Aomine Daiki finds Kise Ryouta smoking at the rooftop after a photoshoot... Kise is a little despaired, a little bored, a little cold, and very, very beautiful - like the month they are in, October. However, like October is, like Autumn is, a sign of things to come, an omen of change, perhaps this is too.
Eren Jaeger's life finally takes a turn for the better and he lands his dream job at one of the most esteemed publishing houses. Just when he is convinced that his days of career worries and self-doubt are over, he is faced with an inconvenience in the shape of an ex who is a bit hard to get over.
Akashi Seijuro is a freshman in University of Tokyo, an aromantic content in his own solitude except the occasional bout of unnecessary obsession over his former teammate, Kuroko Tetsuya. Through an accident the last person he expects to meet again, Nijimura Shuzo, enters his life and the two dabble in matters of heart and flesh against all conventions imposed onto them.
Aomine Daiki is the prodigy that everyone loves and hates in the Organized Crime Bureau of TMPD. However, his nonchalantly brilliant career receives a huge hit when he blows his own operation for the sake of a colleague working undercover. As his world descends into turmoil and he tastes self-doubt, a vivacious blond host carelessly enters into his life and things rapidly change.
Aomine finds himself attending to the same university with Kise and unresolved feelings start to unfold themselves in spectacularly clumsy and understandably timid ways. This is about how to move forward as much as it is about how to move back and understand the past; for the past repeats itself if not properly deciphered and unravelled.
Kise Ryouta reminisces of past and present, while simultaneously managing to cause a small scale disaster out of making toast. (This is a sequel for Glad You Came but can be read and is meaningful standalone.)
Akari ponders about his predicament facing life and death, and the peculiarly odd attachments and diverging feelings across his chest... Hirato, for his part, simply hopes.
Aomine Daiki is enjoying a night of perfect solitude at the police station during Christmas Eve but his peace is soon interrupted by a mercurial blond, very much drenched in the rain and perhaps a little scared, very captivating nevertheless.
Meeting with an old acquaintance of Akari brings back certain memories that Hirato is not much fond of. Bickering ensues.
Of rain and heat, of life and death, of inevitability of dying and killing... Munakata ponders and Suoh seems content even with a completely empty box of Pandora, when Elpis is nowhere to be seen.
Still a student at Kuronomei, Hirato saves his friends from a Varuga attack. As everyone around him celebrates the murder with joy and regard it as the ultimate achievement for a young cadet, the burden of killing is heavy... Though Hirato does not seem to feel it such, or at least he would like to think so. Akari thinks otherwise.
A few hours before his first official mission as a Fighter of the Second Ship, a young Hirato visits Doctor Akari's room, expecting a silent farewell as the night in the battlefield is very likely to bring only death to him. However, he finds the unexpected in Akari.
Years after leaving his highly classified research job at the Department of Defence, Dr. Akari has become a famous researcher in the cardiac surgery department of a prestigious medical university. Despite his wishes otherwise, his past resurfaces one night pulling him back into Limbo.
Aomine Daiki is a man who has it all but a certain part of his life feels rather meaningless... that is until he meets an old friend by chance, thousands of feet above the ground and old memories resurface, with all the meaning a cup of coffee can actually hold.
