Yuki Ishikawa is the heart and soul of Japan's Men's Volleyball team, a celebrated athlete known for his intense focus and unwavering dedication to the game. To him, volleyball is everything-his passion, his purpose, his world. With each serve, spike, and match, he's carving his name into sports history, and nothing distracts him from his goals. Until he meets her.

Lana Lang, daughter of the esteemed Duke of Ravenshire and a famed ballerina mother of Japanese-Russian heritage, was born into a life of grace and grandeur. But Lana craves something more than the comfort of titles and ballrooms. She yearns to forge her own path, to discover who she is away from her family's legacy and the weight of her heritage. Her heart pushes her to step beyond her duchess persona and into a world she barely knows.

When Yuki and Lana's worlds collide, it's a meeting of fire and ice, duty and dreams, and the perfect blend of challenge and attraction. Lana is captivated by Yuki's determination, and he is drawn to her spirit. But with the weight of their worlds on their shoulders, can they find a way to bridge the gap between royalty and the court? Or will their differences keep them apart?All Rights Reserved

Secret Cheers and Hidden Love by aughbywrites

The world only saw Yuki Ishikawa as the volleyball star-the talented, stoic, and focused player who dominated the court. Every spike, every block, every point he earned became a headline. Fans adored him, teammates respected him, and his career was on an unstoppable trajectory. But what the world didn't know was the secret that Yuki guarded so closely. Behind his composed exterior, behind the public persona of a professional athlete, there was someone who held his heart-a girl hidden from the world, known only to him. Her name was Hikaru. They met by chance, in a whirlwind of serendipity that neither of them could have predicted. And from the moment they clicked, they became inseparable. But their relationship wasn't for public eyes. Hikaru insisted on keeping it a secret. She didn't want the spotlight, the fame, or the fan frenzy that came with being linked to Yuki. She wanted to love him in quiet moments, away from the cameras and the scrutiny of the world. So, they hid it. Yuki would walk off the court, surrounded by fans and reporters, while Hikaru stood in the background, cheering as any other fan would. She became the ultimate supporter, silently sharing in his victories and comforting him in his defeats. But their secret wasn't just about protecting themselves-it was about protecting their love. In a world where everything was scrutinized, analyzed, and dissected, Hikaru and Yuki found solace in their hidden moments, in the quiet exchanges and stolen glances that no one else could see. Yet, secrets don't stay hidden forever. As the world of fame, fandoms, and expectations began to close in, Yuki knew that sooner or later, their carefully constructed bubble would burst. The question wasn't if, but when. And when it did, would their love be strong enough to withstand the storm? Only time would tell.

Cross Court Tease by aughbywrites

The Japan Volleyball Association (JVA) launches an unprecedented three-month joint training program for both the men's and women's national volleyball teams. Among the players is Mayu Ishikawa, the reliable outside hitter known not just for her skill but also for being the little sister of the men's team captain, Yuki Ishikawa. She's used to the quiet protection of her brother and their close friend, Taishi Onodera, who Mayu considers like family. Everything changes when Taishi introduces her to Tatsunori Otsuka, the cheerful, powerful hitter with an annoying habit: relentless teasing. Tatsu's playful antics stir something in the usually composed Mayu, but her protests only encourage him more. As Mayu pleads with Yūki to intervene, she's met with nonchalant shrugs and a smug, knowing smile. Three months of shared courts, endless drills, bus rides, and teasing slowly blur the line between annoyance and affection. But what happens when playful teasing becomes something more serious?

As the pressure of competition mounts, their personal connection deepens. With teammates watching and the stakes higher than ever, Hana and Suna must balance their growing feelings against the demanding, unpredictable game they love. Along the way, they discover that sometimes the most unexpected moves, both on and off the court, can lead to the most meaningful victories.
