Hi! Thanks for checking this story out. The list of current chapters is as follows:

1. A Shoulder To Lean On - Hitoka sees Kageyama hurrying away with an odd expression on his face, and tries to help. Sometimes even kings need shoulders to lean on - and some advice. My take on his fear of rejection. KageYachi friendship, slightly fluffy - because how can there possibly be no fluff with an adorable dork like Kageyama?

2. Coiffure - Yachi gives Asahi some tips on taking care of his hair. Bonding and heartwarming fluff, AsaYachi friendship.

3. Almost Like We Never Left - Iwaizumi and Oikawa come to Sendai to watch Seijoh's matches. Bromance, Oikawa acting immature, Hinata talking in CAPITAL LETTERS, and a chance encounter with a certain manager. IwaOi friendship.

4. Suga, Yes Please! - Kazuhito's a calm kind of guy, but even he finds himself startled by what Noya and Tanaka are eager to do to make Suga-san's birthday special. Hinata and Kageyama getting roped in as well doesn't give him much confidence. He only hopes Suga-san appreciates it as much as they enjoyed planning it, but somehow he doubts it . . . HQ family feels! (Hitoka is not in this because it happens before she's recruited)

5. For You, Senpai (Part 1) - In which Hitoka discusses possible gifts to give the third years as a going away present, her friends offer their help, and the volleyball club meets some new people. Oh, and Tanaka's abs make an appearance. OCs appear and the Karasuno family makes new friends.

6. For You, Senpai (Part 2) - In which handsprings and glitter pens make an appearance, and Chikara performs his first duty as captain amid tears and shaky smiles. The feels are over 9000! (Warning - The ending of this chapter contains high, possibly dangerous levels of Haikyuu! feels and sappiness, which may cause squealing, quiet whimpering, loud howling, rolling around clutching at your heart, and in extreme cases, tears that may or may not subside within a few hours. Reader discretion is advised.)

7. Think Of Me Before You Run - Ryuunosuke hadn't realised a lot of things that night.

He hadn't realised how late he'd stayed back practising.

He hadn't realised what might lurk in the shadowy streets, just a few streets away from school.

And he hadn't realised that sometimes, tears hurt far worse than a broken nose.

In which there appear bruised knuckles, police sirens and a furious Sugawara Koushi. (Also includes tearful and protective Hitoka and badass/reckless Tanaka.)

8. To Volley Or Not To Volley - That is the question. Karasuno's volleyball club is exciting and engaging and amazing, as we all know. But how impressive does it truly look to uncertain young students, just joining a new school, when it hardly stands out at the club event? Will Ennoshita and the gang manage to convince young Akiyama and his new friends to join Karasuno's volleyball club? Will they gain promising new members, or reluctant ones? (OC warning again - my new first years, when Tsukki and the rest become second years, are fleshed out here. Hitoka is present, as an excitable volleyball nerd, but is not the focus.)

9. Down By The River, The River So Sweet - More than one person has wondered at the apparent imbalance in the friendship between Yamaguchi Tadashi and TSukishima Kei. But it's not as one sided as it seems. Down by the river is where the balance is righted with hesitant words and an old song, where comfort is offered and accepted.

Five times they helped each other, and the one time Yachi Hitoka was there as well.

10. What Makes A Hero - Hurt - A reunion at the tail end of the next year, before Ennoshita, Narita, Kinoshita, Tanaka, and Noya graduate. It should be simple enough, fun enough, nothing to worry anyone.

Until it really, really isn't.

In which Natsu gets carried around a lot, Tadashi acts without thinking, and Tsukki screams frightened curses into the night.

11. What Makes A Hero - Fear - Sirens, and tears, and fear in the cold.

Chronologically, they are ordered 4, 2, 5, 6, 8, 7, 1, 10, 11 and 3. (4 and 1 are from their first year, 5, 6, 8, 7, 10, 11 and 1 are from their second year, and 3 is from their third year. 9 skips around.)

Please navigate to the chapter itself to read author's notes that will help give you a more comprehensive idea of the content contained within.

As will be mentioned at the end of chapters 6 and 8, I have a (relatively new) Tumblr ( yaelathewordsmith) and a writing blog (Yaela'sWritingSpace.) Two omakes for chapter 6 (as of now) have been posted there. Check them out, and leave a note if you like what you see. The summaries for those are -

Omake 1 - Kuroo is lowkey jealous of the gifts the graduating members of Karasuno got - until the mail comes in.

Omake (or rather, missing scene) 2 - Ennoshita and Suga sneak out in the night at Shinzen, during the training camp. The brief story of why and of who they met that night.

There will be no slash in this story - individual relationships are not really the focus as a rule, family is, though that might change in the future. Even if that does change (YamaYachi!), I'm not really in favour of making literally everyone on the volleyball team gay (coming from the rabid DaiSuga fan, but anyway.) So yes, slash pairings will not be written here. I'm prefectly willing to take prompts for scenes or stories outside of this, however, so feel free to hit me up. Actually feel free to give me any prompts, whether family or relationship oriented.

Hope you find a story you like, and I hope you enjoy! Reviews are always very valued and appreciated.
