.:Dual Personality:. Kuroko was a freshman at the Teiko Dormitory High School, and rooming up with a certain redhead who seemed almost perfect. But a slip of tongue made him had to face the senior's darkest side... .:. rating may change

Onodera Nori has always without fail ranked first in Rakuzan High's honor roll, until Akashi Seijuuro appeared. Ever since then, Nori did his best to catch up to Akashi's matchless top score. Although he always ranked second, the gap was too wide, and he was never acknowledged by the one he admired. Then one day, Nori finally did it, and that caught Akashi's attention - Yaoi

Kenshin from 1868 to 1878. I stick to realism. Starts 'angsty', but will gradually mellow some. The first chapter can stand alone as a oneshot.

How do you say goodbye to someone you have yet to see? How do you let go of a person whose hands you are yet to hold?...And is there a point in falling in love with one whose voice is the only thing you hold on to? AkaKuro AU wherein Kuroko isn't part of the Basketball club.

[COMPLETED] '"Akashicchi…" Ryōta Kise stuttered, "Does that mean you want us to be in your team? For the… Olympics?" Akashi-kun only stared back and nodded.' The Generation of Miracles were once again called by Akashi but this time, it was to form a team to be in the Olympic Games. How will they fair? Rated T for potential swear words. Very slight Akakuro :)

NEW CHAPTER UP! His eyes locked upon Kaoru's. "All I seek to do is to bring a monster to justice, by any means necessary." When a captured assassin escapes, he takes a hostage along as insurance. But when his feelings get entangled, what will become of the revolution? Battousai X Kaoru. AU. Rated M.

It only made sense: If Akashi was their "Mom", then Nijimura was clearly their "Dad". One-shot, slight NijiAka.

[Spoilers to chapter 266] - "Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend." AkaKuro

Begins in episode 19 Kuroko doesn't like how his team mates are trash talking his Teiko friends. Angrily he punches his hand and can not play against Murasakibara the next day.

The story of how one Kuroko Tetsuya ends up in Rakuzan High School doesn't take only one Akashi Seijuurou. It takes one Ogiwara Shigehiro as well. AkaKuroOgi

What Akashi wanted, Kagami realized, was not victory. Because after all, being victorious was like breathing to him. Oh no, no. What Akashi wanted wasn't victory at all, it was Teikou's Phantom Sixth Man and Seirin's Trump Card. He wanted Tetsuya Kuroko. And now, Rakuzan's Invisible Phantom was all his.

Everyone seems to have a different point of view when it comes to Akashi. Within the Generation of Miracles, it certainly is the most wide and varied-and so, extrapolations on each. Mostly AkaMido, NijiAka, MibuAka, and MuraAka if you really squint.

They made a bet, the emperor and the shadow. Akashi has absolute confidence. He believes he'll definitely win, but will it really goes the way he wanted to? What will he do when everything go beyond his calculation? Maybe this time will prove that he can't always be right. Akakuro. GOM/Kuroko. Teiko days.

It's nearly the Nationals in Teikou's third year. With absolute victory at hand, everything is going smoothly. That is, until Akashi finds out prematurely that Kuroko is quitting the basketball team. Akashi, feeling betrayed by Kuroko's defiance, decides that in order to repay him, all of the Generation of Miracles must take an oath.

The back story of how Haizaki Shōgo kicked out from the team in second year. And Midorima wondered why people thought Kuroko was innocent. If Kuroko and Aomine's play is so compatible to annoying degree, Kuroko and Akashi is compatible in plotting to a terrifying degree. They have discredit Kuroko a bit too much.
