Play it safe. Push people away. Don't take risks. Don't try hard. Keep your standards low. Those things are to guarantee you an easy life. But there was one time. One time you mindlessly broke that rule. You had broken one of the biggest rules in your book. And oh how bad you broke it. Don't fall in love. Ayame Yamamoto lives a not-so-ordinary life, and it gets even crazier when she meets the Karasuno's volleyball club. {Various x OC} May contain manga spoilers and profanity.

Serendipity (n.)- luck that takes of finding valuable pleasant things that were not looked for. Luck? To him, it was more of a curse: he'll be stuck with this responsibility for the rest of the school year. And it's not just any high school year - it was his last one, and he planned on making the best of it. Of course, here he is now. What he has gotten into is much more worse, troublesome and confusing than his own predicament. After all, what's more bothersome than falling in love? Third book. (note: contents are canon divergent, you have been warned).

You see, love is not when you see someone as perfect - as ethereally beautiful. It's about accepting one's flaws, embracing them as much as you love the rest. It's about putting their own needs before you own. It's about canceling plans just to make someone happy. Little sacrifices. Love is patience. Love is selflessness. Love is kind. --- A sequel to Strategize. Book two of Three.
