Managers Club (Preview)

Managers’ Club (Preview)

Story: Managers’ Club

Rating: T

Fandom: Haikyuu!

At the start of the year, the newest managers of the interschool boys’ volleyball teams are appointed, recruited and, in some cases, coerced into their role. The job seemed easy enough but when things start to get complicated it’s always a good thing to have friends who can relate, who understand, and that you can talk to about anything.

A Delinquent’s Journal

Like any troublemaker going through “probation” Atsume’s supposed to keep a diary. In all honesty, she has more trouble deciding what’s not worth writing. Two weeks in, and she’s the manager for “grand uncle Yasu’s” volleyball team, she’s gained a shadow with a bad dye job, and a captain who looks at her like she's going to set the Nekoma gym on fire. Should she keep that part out? Or maybe let her probation officer know about the gang of misfits who greet her everyday by bowing at her feet. Or about the school’s betting and backmail ring. She did not sign up for any of this but, fuxk it. Teams need to be managed and gangsters don’t take themselves down. Time get to work. 

Lightning Strike

Fukurodani’s teams already have enough managers and everyone knows this. Still, they get the occasional application from people with crushes on some team member that they use for paper scrap and memos. They almost think its a joke when they find Katsumi’s application among them. No not a late application for the girls’ team, something they would’ve accepted in a heartbeat. Not even one as manager for the boys’ team. No one expected the coach to come in with junior high legend, the Raijin, Inszuma Katsumi by his side. No one expected her, a student, a freshman, to be their assistant coach. And certainly no one expected her to come in on the first day and proclaim she’s given up her sport to pursue her love for their vice captain.

Game-Play

Hikari’s never lost a match. She’s won every chess tournament, shogi competition and weekend radio show trivia quiz they’ve pointed her at. Schools all over Miyagi were clamouring for a chance to have her boost their average, to increase their prestige so it’s no surprise she goes to one of the best. Shiratorizawa wastes no time putting her to work and for two years that’s exactly what she does. When she quits yet another club, they know she’ll jump right into another. And she does, just not where anyone would’ve thought.

To follow...

The Ice Princess

P.S; when I made all these screenshots I forgot Yachi doesn’t get recruited until after the first tournament. Oops.

Really, your writting is marvelous.

Wow. This is the first time I’ve ever gotten one of these like EVER 🥺

Thank you so much. And thanks to everyone who randomly finds my stuff and reblogs even considering how inconsistent I am with uploading.

Serenitea Pot Headcanons

Because Genshin has taken over my brain.

If you’re anything like me, you made your Genshin Impact Serenitea Pot with your characters in mind. And so here’s a collections of little ideas I had about how those characters might spend their time in your little pocket realm with you.

Enjoy!

Edit: I wrote this before the 1.6 update and then IT HAPPENED

Edit 2: I’m writing a Diluc fic here: Oathkeeper

Warning: Wholesomeness ahead.

Amber doesn’t seem to run out of energy. When she spots the little archery range with hilichurl targets behind the manor she gets right to shooting. This, of course, just pulls the other archers out for some friendly competition. And none of them would actually go into the house for hours until someone reminds them they have to eat.

Some of your companions find themselves preoccupied by the study you’ve put up in one of the rooms. The shelves are filled to the brim with books from both Liyue and Monstadt. Lisa keeps the place orderly, barely leaving the room. The same can be said for Albedo and Sucrose who’ve taken over a corner of the room and crammed it with alchemy equipment.

The devoted researchers only leave to train or eat. And whoever could resist the call of the dinner bell when it was Xiangling ringing. You hadn’t even needed to show her where anything was in your kitchen. One step in and she knew it like the back of her hand. You help out every once in a while but find Xiangling really doesn’t need it. Paimon is certainly delighted, glad to be left in there to get the first taste.

It leaves you free to go outside and join Bennett, Noelle or Chongyun who never seem to stop training and wanting to improve. Noelle would have been done cleaning inside and Chongyun would have a fresh batch of popsicles from the kitchen. They’ve made a space for themselves near the archery range and actually find kindred spirits and mentors in two other friends of yours.

Diluc’s expresson is absolutely comical when he sees the younger, smaller claymore users swing their weapon around like a club rather than a sword. Nevermind his face when they start spinning like tops. He teaches them how to build strength, how to use their weapons with finesse and power. They start to look up to him. It’s no surprise that outside of the teapot and without the traveller, more guests seem to stay at Dawn Winery than before.

Eula shows them how to wield with grace. Chongyun is starry eyed at seeing such a powerful and well trained Cryo claymore user like himself. Eula is only glad to help even if she doesn’t quite know how to say so directly. She and Fischl are alike in how much people have to decode what they’re saying sometimes. But she does loosen up when she’s pulled into drinking with Beidou and Kaeya.

Speaking of, Beidou would find herself right at home on one of the couches, pulling out a gourd of baijiu to unwind from a long journey. Kaeya has started his own little storage of wine in the kitchen. Diona disapproves, mixing them non-alcoholic drinks that they surely enjoy but if she’s not around they’ll just go back to their usuals.

When Kaeya’s not engaging in a drinking contest with someone, he is both encouraging Klee’s behaviour and keeping it under control. Klee loves all the open space. She’s a little disappointed she can’t go “fishing” but nearly explodes with joy when she’s told the landscape of the teapot fixes itself. When she’s finally down at the end of the day, some of you end up cleaning the soot off yourselves and picking up bomb fragments with Albedo. But at least she had fun (?)

Mona very much likes having a place to stay where she can see the stars, enjoy a nice big meal and doesn’t have to pay for ANYTHING. Meeting Xiangling is the best thing that ever happened to her. A girl willing to taste test anything and a girl willing to experiment with anything. Naturally during these times people stay out of the kitchen for their own safety.

Actually, Bennett just stays out of the kitchen in general. He’s been banned. Permanently. He can often be found outside. He’ll trip on a rock you swear you never put there and Tubby swears too, but he trips anyway. Barbara will be there to heal him. That is, if she’s not trying to coax Rosaria into doing some evening prayers or saying grace before a meal. Rosaria prefers to stand in the corners and watch. What she watching for? Who knows.

When Fischl is done with archery outside she’ll find the little corner of the study with the fantasy books and indulge herself. Here, she even gets a knack for writing her own stories and Xinqui is more than happy to listen and even give notes and exchange ideas. They take over the study whenever Albedo isn’t in there doing alchemy.

If the study is free of both of them, Zhongli is there, sitting with a cup of tea and discussing philosophy with Keqing, politics and law with Yanfei, history with Ganyu or Liyue affairs with Ningguang. If you sit in on the conversation you’ll either feel smarter than before or dumber than you’ve ever felt in your life. Should the study be occupied, Zhongli will enjoy his tea outside as the archers are trying to teach you and struggling to teach Childe how to shoot properly.

Amber: You posture needs work.

Ganyu: Maybe you should focus on proper technique before strength

Fischl: Such power...but also such inaccuracy

Venti: better luck next time!

Diona: maybe if you werent so tall you’d have better aim

Childe: OKAY, I GET IT.

Childe may pout but he enjoys the challenge, really. Whatever gets him to stop trying to rope Diluc, Eula, Jean or you into a fight. But he and Diluc actually find competition in another aspect of tea pot living; providing

The landscape may repair itself and Baizhu and Xiangling may have started a herbal and ingredients garden on the island, but supplies still ran low. It wasn’t even a competition at all. One day Diluc saw how low the manor was on certain items and decided bring some supplies with him to restock. Childe heard about it and brought more. Diluc didn’t care until Childe insisted you reward him with your attention.

It wouldn’t have turned into anything if it hadn’t been for Kaeya egging them both on, something he never does when Jean is watching. Actually everyone seems to try to be on their best behaviour for Jean. Who’s tired enough outside the teapot. She’s another one of the people who end up behind one of the desks in the study. It takes some coaxing but they either get her into a bed or at least the couch in the office.

Barbara is happy to see her get some rest. But Barbara also finds happiness in the separate little building on the island where she writes songs with Venti and Xinyan. You asked Tubby for that house when Xinyan woke up half the manor in the middle of night because she got “struck by inspiration”. But she isn’t the only one who often stays outside the manor.

For all his efforts of adapting to being more human-like, Razor still feels uncomfortable sleeping in a normal bed. Which is why there’s a corner of the island with a tent, and a bunch of dogs always waiting for him. They take to him like they’ve known him for years and are all to eager to roughouse and play with a human who isn’t as concerned with getting filthy or slobbered on.

Xiao watches this and sees Razor and the dogs huddling together for warmth from his perch on the roof of the manor. It takes some coaxing to get him to join you for anything, and some of Xiangling’s special almond tofu, but eventually he’ll jump down. Unless it’s Zhongli calling because if so he’ll be down in an instant.

When it’s night and Xiao starts to feel the pull of darkness, it’s all too convenient that the melifluous sound of a harp starts to lull him back into control. Xiao himself doesnt sleep or rest much so instead he watches over all of you inside, making sure all your dreams are well and good.

Note: I am aware I forgot Qiqi and Hu Tao, I just don’t know them well enough.

Oathkeeper

00: Prologue

Diluc x Doctor!Reader

Warnings: Blood. Mentions of death.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Diluc

Diluc accepts all that comes next.

Not that he can offer much resistance anyway. The searing in his chest and ache in his head that the Harbinger had left him with has subsided. Now all he feels is the last of him slip right through his fingers and drip, warm and red, down his chest. He feels his own breath growing shallow. Each one is a labor and he barely feels the hands gripping his arms and legs. Who has him, he wonders? Where are they taking him? Somewhere where no one will ever find him, or will they send him back? He finds comfort in that thought, in the idea of being buried next to his father. But he doesn’t like to think of Elzer’s frustration, Adelinde’s pained expression, Kaeya’s regret or Jean’s tears but blood and sweat have seeped into his eyes. It’s all he can see.

But he does hear voices.

“-defy orders!?”

“I’m doing wha-“

He can’t make out all of the words people around him are yelling. At him? At each other? He can’t tell that either, allowing himself to sink further.

“- so be it!”

Diluc gasps. A coolness envelops him, and he screams. The gash in his chest burns again, his body coming alight with pain. He thrashes, screaming louder when the hands holding him up grip tighter.

“-is a mistake.”

“Put him down right there.”

There’s crashing and grunting. Another spike of pain shoots up his nerves as he’s lowered down onto something and he gasps for air. The hands leave him and are replaced the same coolness that pulled him back into agony. He fights, trying to pull away from it but he can’t even manage that. The feeling travels down his chest, leaving his clothes damp and soothes his burning skin but it doesn’t do much else. “Broken ribs, bruised organs and… his lung is pierced,” someone says, a gentler voice and Diluc feels every ache and pain they list, the shadow of the Harbinger’s blade hasn’t left his chest. “He’s bleeding out inside.”

“What are you doing, then?!” Diluc can hear them clearer now, distressed, and panicked protests from a man with a deep voice.

“I don’t think there’s anything we can do.” A third voice worries, a quieter voice.

“Exactly! This is a fool’s act. He’s as good as dead!”

Yes, he is. Let him go, he wants to say. Let the suffering stop, he wants to beg. He musters up what strength he can trying to but is silenced. “Shush, don’t talk. Your jaw is broken too.” The same gentle voice chides, stricter now as the coolness caresses the side of his face. Something is touched to his lips and the voice commands. “Drink.”

He won’t.

“What. Are. You. Doing?!” One asks again, and the coolness leaves his face. Diluc manages a groan but the gentle one is right, his jaw aches. “If the Harbingers find out we helped him-“

“Leave then. If you want so badly to not get involved, to protect yourself, to let him die, leave.”

“But you-“

“I am doing my job. And if you’re going to help me. I need you to calm down. And if you can’t do that. Get. Out.”

The coolness comes back so does the thing touching his lips. “Drink,” the gentle one says and when Diluc doesn’t something slithers down his throat too fast for him to even choke on. Diluc almost gasps as his entire body relaxes. His ragged breathing slows.

“Well?”

He doesn’t know who they’re asking.

“…fuck it.” The quiet one, the worrier, speaks up. There’s rustling and shuffling. “What do you need me to do?”

“You’re fools! Insane! Both of you!”

The gentle voice says something else but Diluc doesn’t catch it. The ache in his head ebbs away and he barely feels the hands on his chest, peeling his clothes away. He almost protests again but whatever he’s drank has rendered his faculties useless, numb. He catches one last thing before he’s pulled under. The gentle voice huffs.

“Sorry, but you’re not dying today. Not while I’ve got you.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 00 | 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AN: The start of a new fic, I feel motivated to wrote. Here’s to hoping! If you’re interested I’d really appreciate a reblog. 😊 

Canon. As far as I’m concerned

OM! Brothers with an odd wake up call

it’s 3:22 am idk what this is but i hope ya like it

cringe, cussing, and gn!mc

Lucifer

It was the morning after your arrival when you went to Lucifer’s study and asked if you could wake his brothers up

“Go ahead.”

He didn’t think much of it until he heard the sound of pans smashing against each other and a song being played

“I’M TIRED OF Y’ALL BITCHES IN THIS HOUSE- Y’ALL GONNA MAKE ME LOSE MY MIND”

What in the Devildom is the human exchange student doing?!

“WHERE’S THE FUCKING POTS?! WHERE’S THE FUCKING POTS?! GET- THE- FUCK- UP-!”

He stepped out of his office only to find you running through the halls, smashing pans, and singing- no- screaming at the top of your lungs

“I DON’T GOT NO SLEEP ‘CAUSE O’ Y’ALL! Y’ALL AIN’T NEVER GONNA SLEEP ‘CAUSE O’ ME!!”

Lucifer quickly put a stop to your antics before one of his brothers tried to kill you

You were dragged into his office and lectured for exactly 1 hour and 27 minutes

He hates it when he hears the sound of you screaming random words he doesn’t understand

It got worst when Levi started to join you

Great, now I have two idiots to lecture

Mammon

That morning of your first wake up call, he had just gotten home from the casino to find Lucifer chasing the human who was screaming and clanking pans

“What the fu-“

Needless to say, you left a pretty good impression on him. He had a great laugh as you were dragged by Lucifer into his office for a long lecture

It was funny until he got a taste of your wake up call

“It’s Wednesday, my dudes!”

What is the human doing shouting in the hallway?

“AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

He opened the door and saw you. With goggles on?

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”

You kept screaming. He saw Satan opening the door down the hall, a dark aura surrounding him

He pulled you inside his room and called you an absolute idiot

Mammon now uses your wake up calls as a distraction for when he steals from his brothers

Leviathan

He was awake when you first did your wake up calls and found it to be hilarious because he understood the memes

Although, he was rather surprised when you asked to borrow his loud speaker for another one of your wake up calls

Eager to see your next chaotic wake up call, he lent it to you

“You know you gotta do the cooking by the book, you know you can’t be lazy!”

A children’s song? Oh wait-

“BREAK IT DOWN, BITCH! LEMME SEE YOU BACK IT UP-“

He was howling with laughter as you violently screamed the lyrics

He was also reprimanded by Lucifer for “giving MC a speaker to scream a vulgar song”

Levi always joins in whenever you do a wake up call, even if he gets lectured

Satan

Right off the bat, he absolutely despised your wake up calls

He was so invested in a beautifully written novel when he heard,

“IS THERE ANYTHING BETTER THAN PUSSY?! YES! A REALLY GOOD BOOK!”

That’s true but would you sHUT THE FUCK UP-

If it weren’t for Lucifer’s and Mammon’s interferences, you would’ve been dead already

Then he noticed how much Lucifer hated your wake up calls

He stands to the side every time you get Lucifer worked up because of your screaming

And he absolutely adored that one time you ran away from Lucifer while yelling,

“I’M A BAD BITCH, YOU CAN’T KILL ME!”

He’s on the borderline of hating and loving your antics

Asmodeus

“This SCREAMING isn’t good for my SKIN!” Asmodeus screeched at you. How ironic

Your odd antics always wakes him up from his beauty sleep and he hates it

“AND THERE WERE ROOMMATES!!”

No- no, nOT AGAIN-

“OH MY GOSH! THEY WERE ROOMMATES!!”

Levi?! You too?!

There is nothing he hates more than when it’s morning and he hears your voice

He honestly hates your voice

Beelzebub

He was... So utterly confused when he hears you screaming for the first time

If anything, he was concerned and checked up on you

But Lucifer has already snatched you away to lecture you

Every time he hears your wake up calls, he always checks up on you to see if you’re alright

He was especially concerned when he heard you scream,

“I smell like beef... I SMELL LIKE BEEF!!”

“I-I don’t? Where’s the beef-?”

He’s genuinely worried about your yelling, try not to do it so often

Belphegor

His first time hearing your wake up calls was up in the attic

He was... Extremely confused.

First of all, that doesn’t sound like any of his brothers. Second of all, what the fuck is happening?

Nowadays, he usually sleeps through your loud wake up calls

On rare occasions, he’ll watch with Satan as you and Levi get chased by Lucifer

ATTENTION

To all fanfiction writers/readers. When you read fanfiction do you prefer if its written like a book with expostion and description or do you prefer it’s written with the assumption that you know the source media its written from and the appearance of characters and locations? Like say you read a Demon Slayer fic would you want to skip all the “a boy with a scar above his left eye” stuff and go straight to, yo that’s Tanjiro, or nah?
