Summary
New beginnings come only at the cost of other endings. The two cannot survive together. It is not a symbiotic relationship; it is a mutually destructive one.
On the cusp of achieving all of his dreams, professional volleyball player and one time Olympic medalist Ushijima Wakatoshi goes down. One wrong landing, one torn ACL.
In the blink of an eye, his future collapses. His volleyball career ends.
His coach tells him: it’s all over.
His father tells him: Nothing is meant to last forever. Once you learn to let one door close, another will open.
Now Ushijima, aged 24, has to somehow learn how to begin again. He doesn’t know where to start, or if he even wants to. That's where Tendou Satori comes in.

Summary
According to common knowledge—and quite a few highly reputable textbooks—there exist in the universe three kinds of soulbonds: those that manifest spontaneously, those that people are born with, and those that stay hidden until their potential is revealed.
Some soulmates connect easily and instantaneously. But other soulbonds prove to be more stubborn. These bonds require a bit more effort…a certain amount of coaxing before they finally appear.
For those unruly, obstinate souls, there is Tendou’s Bakery for Wayward Soulmates.

Summary
“Ushijima Wakatoshi!”
Turning to the source of the voice, Ushijima finds the boy from the other day standing behind him again, an excited look on his face as he rocks back and forth on his feet, “Tendou Satori. Do you always sneak up on people?”
Tendou laughs, the small frame of his body shaking with the force of it. Ushijima isn’t sure what’s so funny, he meant it as a legitimate question. Admittedly, though, Tendou’s laugh, while loud and boisterous, is somehow comforting. Once he’s calmed down, Tendou shakes his head in response, but instead of answering he poses his own question, “So you’re by yourself again today? Don’t you have friends?”
Unoffended by the question, as blunt as it is, Ushijima ponders on it for a moment before giving a small shrug, “I like playing alone. The other kids usually get bored of me.”

Summary
“Listen,” Atsumu starts, “yer my spiker, meaning if sumthin’ happens to ya—it concerns me as well. It’s the only reason why I’m here.”
“You saw how my hand looked at practice earlier, that’s all you need to know.”
“Yeah, and that was before you got it checked out,” Atsumu gestures towards Kiyoomi’s cast with a notched eyebrow. “What’d the doctors say ‘bout it?”
Kiyoomi lifts his shoulders in an idle shrug. “I need to give it a few weeks of rest.”
Which, to Atsumu—
He clicks his tongue, sounding a little disapproving. “That means a few weeks without a spiker.”
Kiyoomi gives him a flat stare. “There are other people in our team.”
“But they ain’t you.”
or: a story of how Atsumu and Kiyoomi ends up with matching golden bands around their fingers
