Fire On The Waves
Fire on the Waves
The open ocean was the best place for Katsuki to be. He needed plenty of space, plenty of room to swing his wide black tail and flare his orange fins without hitting some undeserving dignitary in the face. The sea didn’t pen him, or judge him, or nag him constantly. The sea was open. Freeing.
"KAAACHAAAN!“
Until that happens.
Katsuki spun, his tail fanning out around him. If fire could be underwater, it would look like Katsuki’s tail, a blend of deep oranges and shimmering yellows set against simmering black coals. Not that Katsuki had ever seen fire–a fact he despised. "What, Deku?”
The tiny mottled green dwarf mer struggled to catch up, a constant whine emitting from his tiny mouth. “Iida’s looking for you. He says it’s important–a-and I’m not a Deku.”
“Don’t care,” the blonde mer barked back as he turned, continuing on his way. He wasn’t looking for anything in particular, but he loved exploring, and he often found seashells and pearls to make his own jewelry from. “If I hear anymore ‘Katsuki, you need to start acting more princely,’ 'Katsuki, your mother is furious,’ 'Katsuki, you need to find a princess to marry,’ I’m gonna lose it.”
The little mer huffed, putting on a burst of speed and catching up to smack his tail across Katsuki’s nose. “Kacchan, you can’t make me go back all by myself! Iida will make me face Queen Mitsuki all by myself again! I can’t do that!”
Katsuki leered, his eyebrow twitching. “Do I need to say it again?”
"Yeah, yeah, you don’t care,“ Izuku sighed. "What are you doing so far out here, anyway? There’s nothing around for leagues.”
"That’s the point.“
Katsuki dove into an alcove, welcoming the darkness of the depths. The quiet was nice. Until Izuku followed him. "You know, you’d have more friends if you weren’t so mean all the time.”
"Oh, screw you!“ The blonde snapped, baring teeth at the little guppy. "I have friends!”
"No, you don’t!“ Izuku grumbled back at him. "You have me, because I’m the only one who will put up with your lousy attitude. Me and those two dumb surface gulls. What is it with you and those surface creatures anyway?”
"Hey! I’m the only one that gets to call those two dumb!“ Katsuki flicked his tail across the sandy floor, scattering the sediment and picking a shiny loose shell out of the sand. He pocketed it in a gathering sash around his hips. "Humans are stupidly smart, Deku. When we manage to make something that lets us swim across the land the way their big–what'cha call 'em? Shits? Once we swim on land the way their shits do the water, I’ll stop being amazed.”
Izuku sighed. “It’s 'ships,’ Kacchan.”
He shrugged. “Eh. Shits sounds better.”
"Of course, it does.“ Izuku wormed his way into a rocky crag and came back out with an oyster. "Find any nice shells at least?”
"Yeah, and a shiny circle with a red pointy thing.“ He retrieved it from his pouch and showed it to the little green mer, trading it for the oyster. It had no pearl, but the meat was tasty.
Izuku tapped on the glass, watching the needle jolt. "Cool.”
The water darkened suddenly, and they both looked up at the opening to the alcove. Katsuki growled instinctively. “Is it supposed to storm?”
Izuku shook his head. “Not until later. What do you think’s up there? Maybe a–Kacchan, wait!”
Katsuki had already pulled himself out of the alcove with two strokes of his powerful tail, racing towards the surface. He’d seen that shadow before, but never so big. Over the years he’d learned that important people or bigger crews got bigger boats, so there was either a lot of humans or a really shiny one.
“Kacchan!”
Beaming fiercely, the blonde skirt around the side of the wooden vessel to one of the supportive outer beams. He’d become somewhat of an expert at climbing the sides to spy on the humans, and he did it now with practiced ease, hauling himself into the surface with another strong smack of his tail. Surface air was cold and brisk, but he could breathe it for some time before it caused him any issue. He poked his head around the column to a small balcony outcropping where he could hook his arms to watch.
There was a party going on, a large festivity of dancing and drinking, humans with glasses and their arms hooked together as they tried to jump out of their shoes. Men and women with red faces and bright smiles talking and laughing together.
And in the center of it all was one man, dressed as a simple sailor in an open white shirt and tall boots pulled up over his trousers, a sash the same color as his bright red hair tied around his waist. He had thick, beefy forearms and a smile so forceful that it crinkled his eyes, brighter than any other. There was a woman in a tailored sea-dress next to him, and he laughed at something she said.
Katsuki watched, eyes wide. “Pretty human…”
The man was beautiful. Warm and bright like the sun. The sea salt stuck up his hair and the sunset fell across tan, freckled, sun-kissed skin and broad shoulders. He was just so pretty. Mer didn’t get so tan–though they did tend to get pretty big. Even Katsuki knew that this one was big for a human.
A frantic whisper broke him from his reverie. “Kacchan!”
He glared down, raising an eyebrow at Izuku as the little mer jumped through the waves to keep up. “What?”
"What are you doing up there?“
"Watching, now shut up.”
"Hey, help me up!“
Growling, Katsuki lowered one of his fins into the waves, letting him latch onto it and climb up his tail to the deck.
"Oo,” Izuku muttered. “Pretty human.”
Katsuki instantly seized him around the middle. “My pretty human,” He growled.
"Okay!“ He squeaked. "Okay, your human, please don’t throw me!”
"Someone there?“
Katsuki and Izuku froze and the blonde shrank back into the darkness next to the column as a shadow cut through the light. The tall red-haired human appeared over the banister, a look of concern across his face. He looked out across the sea, searching, until the woman called him back.
"Come on, Eijiro, that’s silly. Who would be out there?”
Katsuki released a tense breath, daring to peek back. Eijiro.
His human was standing beside the woman again, the party seeming to be at a lull for the time being. There was a very large fabric stretched over a shape on the deck, a source of excitement. There voices were drowned out in the chattering, until a hush fell over the gathering. Katsuki found himself excited too.
The fabric was pulled back to reveal a fearsome stone carving in the likeage of his human, armored and standing atop the head of a scaly beast. Katsuki recoiled–and so did Eijiro.
"Well, that’s in bad taste,“ Izuku commented quietly.
The woman next to Eijiro grinned, leaning against the balcony where Katsuki and Izuku were hiding. "Horrid, isn’t it?”
He grimaced at her. “Mina, please tell me you didn’t actually buy this.”
"I did!“ She punched him lightly on the shoulder. "It’s a punishment!”
"Is this because I didn’t marry that princess you set me up with?“
"Absolutely! Do you know how much hard work you wasted?”
Eijiro sighed, resting against the wall next to this Mina character. “Look, she just wsan’t right. None of them are right.” He was quiet for a long while, glaring at the statue. “Maybe all the girls aren’t right. Maybe I don’t want a girl.”
“Eijiro, you have to get married–”
“Who said anything about not getting married?”
Mina was quiet. Katsuki tilted his head.
"Well, that would mean that you would want to marry a man,“ she said slowly, and Katsuki heard Eijiro bate his breath. "And if you wanted to marry a man, that would mean I have been wasting so much time setting you up with the the wrong nobles! How dare you not tell me!”
Eijiro relaxed. “I’m sorry! Look, when I find the right person, I’ll know.”
Katsuki very briefly fantasized about stealing this human before forcefully reminding himself that humans did not breath very well in the water. Still, the idea brought color to his cheeks. It was the sappiest shit, of course, but Katsuki supposed it could be romantic.
A large, bumbling hairy animal suddenly charged across the deck and plowed into Eijiro, nearly knocking him to the ground, and began making loud noises. Apparently, this was not as alarming to Eijiro, who merely beamed at it. “Hey, Denks! Party’s getting dull, huh?”
The creature made another loud noise in response, mouth open and a long pink tongue lolling out to lick across the human’s face. Eijiro pushed it away and it sat on the deck, its tail end twitching as it pawed at him. He obliged by letting one hand down to pet across the top of its head.
"Kacchan, we should go,“ Izuku insisted suddenly.
Katsuki snapped his head to him, growling lowly. "Why?”
Izuku pointed down at the waves, which had become choppy and harsh. The wind had changed too, fresher, but sour. It was a subtle change, but a bad one.
A storm.
The boat suddenly lurched to the side, and Katsuki lost his grip on the rails. He and Izuku fell into the water and dove to avoid a large crate that tumbled over the side. The ship rocked and the water churned dangerously into tall waves with strong currents, and it was all the pair could do to keep from the the debris.
"Kacchan, we have to leave!“ Izuku shouted.
"Go, I’m right behind you!” The blonde shouted back, trying to make his way around more fallen ship pieces. And he was going, he was–
Until a woman hit the surf in front of him. It was Mina, Eijiro’s friend.
Katsuki didn’t think before he grabbed her by her human legs and hauled her back to the surface in time for a hand to reach into the waves and pull her safely into a boat. A current caught him not a second later, pulling him down and away until he could escape its grip. It was dangerous to be so close to the surface during a storm, when the waters became unpredictable. One moment he was being dragged into the depths, and the next he was being tossed back out of the waves. He hoped Izuku had made it to safety–the little mer wasn’t strong enough to fight these currents.
His head broke the water again to see the ship alight with the fire that burned in human torches. An animal’s distressed bark broke through the noise of burning, snapping wood, and in a flash of red, Eijiro had dived back into the waves.
The dog, Denks. It was stuck on the ship. Katsuki could only watch as the redhead hauled himself back onto the doomed craft in search of his pet, and a few moments later the hairy creature hit the water and swam for the small boat.
And then the ship exploded in a ball of fire, and Katsuki screeched. He made his way as fast as he could back through the minefield of debris, the water stained the most awful shade of firelit brown as he searched for his human. The light caught on a bright color sinking through the darkness and Katsuki dove, his arms closing around a rather large unconscious human. Eijiro.
Humans couldn’t survive under the waves, Katsuki knew that, but the surface world wasn’t much batter at the moment. He pulled the man back to the air and began fighting his way to land. The swim was long and difficult with the state of the ocean, but land itself was not far away.
He hauled the man out of the waves in the protection of a rocky alcove. The tide still lapped angrily at them, but the rocks broke up the current and dull the waves. Exhausted, Katsuki collapsed onto him. Distantly, through the thickness of his chest, he heard a heartbeat that wasn’t his own.
He stayed. All night, watching over the human. At dawn, a search party scoured the beach and forced Katsuki back into the waves before he was seen, but they seemed overjoyed to have found Eijiro. Denks bounded up to him and woke him with rough licks to the face, and Mina helped him to his feet. His human was going to be fine.
Fine wasn’t enough for Katsuki anymore, not as he watched the man walk up the beach towards a large castle. He wanted that human.
And he’d do anything to make that happen.

ushiten character study through shirabu’s eyes. THEE pacific rim au; ushiten are jaeger pilots with a history of being drift incompatible with others, and shirabu is the ever-exhausted tech who screens them. i rb’d some art for this a little while back and i can’t recommend it enough. the canon parallels. the detail. the prose. the characterization and everyone’s dynamics. the style. i first read this in march 2021 the day i stop frothing at the fucking mouth over this is the day i die.
Words are such a beautiful thing. You take these lines and shapes and form them together, and they create music, stories, people, entire worlds, and universes!
They could mean everything and nothing at all. Every quote I see, I want inked on my body forever. Almost like forcing them to become apart of me indefinitely will allow me to feel the meaning behind the words for the rest of my life. To carry that meaning at all times.
To know the words are there and that they mean something, and by proxy, I must have meaning too. To have something so big and endless fit into something so small- all it takes are the shapes and the imagination of a single person to create the impossible.
How insane is that?
Fic Rec Time!!
Since it’s the start of Fandom Fic Rec Days…here are a few fabulous stories that deserve a share! These are in no particular order~
Those Flooded Fields by Euphorion @flightlesscrowkids Rated: T (Violence) Fandom: Haikyuu!! Pairing(s): KageHina, AsaNoya, KiyoYachi, DaiSuga, TsukiYama, KuroKen, BokuAka, IwaOi Status: WIP Summary: Post-apocalyptic but not particularly dystopian (yet) Artificial Intelligence AU where Kageyama is a voice in Hinata’s head and they’re still not very good at communicating. Title from Neko Case’s Fox Confessor Brings the Flood. A word from Jubesy: Oh my goodness. This world is so interesting and the angst is legit. What a cool concept! It’s written well and it’s interesting no matter the character’s POV.
the Sun and the Mole Rat by TCon @secretly-devious Rated: M Fandom: Kuroko no Basuke Pairing(s): AkaFuri, KagaKuro (mentioned) Status: Complete Summary: Akashi Seijuurou was like the sun; beautiful, radiant and infinitely unreachable. It was an impossibly stupid thing that someone like him could ever be compared to someone like Furihata Kouki, who was so ordinary in everything, nobody would look at him twice should he walk down the crowded streets. So when Akashi came onto him for a fuck, he didn’t exactly say no. AkaFuri Future-Fic A word from Jubesy: I love this. It was one of the first AkaFuri fics that I ever read. It’s hot and angsty and (spoiler) has a happy ending! Definitely worth the read!
The Iunctio-Stones Series by Luxie @flyingassassin Rated: E Fandom: Free! Pairing(s): SouRin, MakoHaru Status: Complete Summary: “I’ll do it.” Sousuke says, looking the doctor straight in the eyes. “I just have to ask. What’s the down side?” The doctor smiles again, wider and with a glint in his eyes. “The down side, Yamazaki-san, is that you get to be a Superhero.” A word from Jubesy: Sexual tension at its finest. Danger? Action? Adventure? It’s all there! Really cool premise and it includes a lot of side characters from Free!, which is always nice.
Designation: Miracle Series by umisabaku @umisabaku Rated: M Fandom: Kuroko no Basuke (includes Haikyuu!! and Big Windup!, as well) Pairing(s): KagaKuro, KiKasa, MidoTaka, MuraHimu, AoMomo, KageHina, KuroKen, AkaFuri, AbeMiha, HanaTaji Status: WIP Summary: It’s been three years since seven human experiments, called “Miracles,” escaped Teiko Industries, alerting the world to the presence of super-powered children. Now they’re finally integrating into society– going to normal high schools, playing basketball, falling in love– and trying to find out if it’s possible to truly escape their past. A word from Jubesy: An amazing concept! Really cool!! Full of angst and super powers. The “minor characters” take the lead in this AU and I love that. Kasamatsu, Kagami, Takao, and Himuro are a really big part. Every couple is great and interesting. Check it out!
I Will Follow You Into the Dark by shions_heart @shions-heart (for knightswatch) Rated: M (Major Character Death) Fandom: Haikyuu!! Pairing(s): KuroKen, IwaOi, BokuAka, TsukiYama, KageHina, DaiSuga, YakuLev, AsaNoya, KyouHaba Status: WIP Summary: With terrifying creatures mysteriously appearing in downtown Sendai, consuming every living thing in their sights, the country’s leading scientists hatch a plan to create super soldiers to fight and destroy these monsters. Kuroo Tetsurou is one of those soldiers. A word from Jubesy: This fic is just so good I can’t. Even with the major character death (which I never, ever read, mind you) it’s so captivating and interesting and well-written that I can cry and keep going. The concept is really great (think Pacific Rim meets Attack on Titan) The characters are fabulous, the angst is choice, and the world is so interesting! I can’t wait to see how it ends (but I also don’t want it to end)
A Warrior’s Heart by donguris @donguris Rated: T Fandom: Free! Pairing(s): SouRin, MakoHaru, SeiGou Status: WIP Summary: The story of a lost boy and the heir of an empire. And lots of dragons. A word from Jubesy: I love this AU! Dragons, magic, mystery, and more! All of the characters play a part in this amazing fantasy fic. It’s so, so good. It even includes SeiGou, which I love! SouRin is the main focus, but the MakoHaru parts are beautiful, as well. An excellent read!
I’m sure I missed some amazing fics that I’ve read, but I didn’t want to bombard everyone with a giant list of every story I’ve ever enjoyed.
Please give these a read if you haven’t already! ♥
I DID. I DID READ IT. I DON'T REGRET IT.
OMG I AM OBSESSED WITH “brothers through vice and virtue” by mjsknifecollection on Ao3
GO READ IT, ITS A VILLAIN NATSUO AU AND THE FACT THAT IT ONLY HAS SIXTY KUDOS IS CRIMINAL

haikyuu!! fic rec
i’ve been consuming unreasonable amounts of hq!! fic these past few months… here’s a rec list of ~70 fics for 16 ships.
(edit: if the links aren’t working, right-click to open the fic in a new tab. sorry;;)
❤ = favorite
❤ ❤ ❤ = god-tier
*
Bokuto/Akaashi (otp: my head, his heart)
the better boyfriend battle by norio (M) ❤
Summary: It’s two days after their first date anniversary, so Bokuto ruins Akaashi’s life.
i put my hand out, unfolded, into the sunlight by carafin (G) ❤
Summary: In which Bokuto Kotarou is woefully inept at conveying his feelings, and Akaashi Keiji has a sort-of superpower. Sort of.
Karma by dgalerab (T)
Summary: Akaashi pulls a muscle and Bokuto offers to help him with yoga. Akaashi knows a bad idea when he sees it, and he really only agrees because he’s suddenly acquired a deeply rooted desire to see Bokuto do yoga.For multiple reasons.
Maybe We’re Airborne, Baby by sterlinglee (T)
Summary: Realizing he’s got it bad for his setter is the easy part. Getting his feelings across might be the hardest thing Bokuto’s ever done, not counting his literature final or putting out the flames on that birthday cake he tried to bake for Akaashi last year, or—or a lot of things, actually.But the point still stands. Reaching out to Akaashi is a leap in the dark, and he wants it more than he’s ever wanted anything (especially the smoking remains of a cake he baked before he really understood his feelings, but knew that it’s what you attempt with your own two hands that matters).
snowflakes by arsenicjay (T)
Summary: Bokuto is a simple wizard with simple needs; a nice date, a little romance, and he’s all good to go.Or, Akaashi and Bokuto spend a day in Hogsmeade just before Christmas.
stating the obvious by ThinkingCAPSLOCK (G)
Summary: There’s a lot of things Bokuto isn’t sure about now that he’s in university. His program, his new team, his future. There’s only one thing he’s absolutely sure of. He is not dating Akaashi Keiji. Not even a little bit.
Year-Round Love by masi (G)
Summary: In his first year of university, Bokuto realizes that he really adores Akaashi.
Rest of the rec list under the cut!

Haikyuu!! Fic Recs #1
Hola!
I have wanted to make this post for ages (and the reason this blog was created) and am really excited to share some of my favourite Haikyuu fics with everyone!
I will be putting a ‘★’ next to the ones that i highly recommend and love with my heart and soul.
Lets get started!
KageHina
In Transit - by Mysecretfanmoments
Hinata finds that he likes standing close to Kageyama on buses and trains. It doesn’t mean anything–probably. Maybe.
(complete)
baby, i can give you wings - by Metis_Ink
In which there are superpowers, cats, rainstorms, realizations, split-second jealousy, embarrassing volleyparents, killer whales, electric Kuroos, unstable emotions, bad romance movie mentions, some angst, some fluff, but mostly a lot of awkward high schoolers.
The minute Kageyama walks into the gym and sees Hinata hovering eight feet over the nets he knows he’s screwed.
(complete)
★ fake it, make it - by zadderlee
“Because Kageyama is already dating someone!”
“Really? Who?”
“Me!” Hinata shouts suddenly, grabbing Kageyama’s hand as an afterthought and grinning triumphantly, like he’s somehow missed the implications of what he’s just done. Kageyama is going to kill him.

forever is a long time but i wouldn’t mind spending it with you - by Interconnected_3
“What else?” Daichi blinks. “What else is there? Do you want me to tell you how you like your coffee?” He grins teasingly. “I don’t know, how do I like my coffee? By the way, you’re missing something.” “Cream and two and a half sugars- wait, I’m missing something?” “Yup,” Suga says. “You forgot to mention that we’re dating.” “Well, god, Suga, judging from how we’ve been kissing and holding hands for three years and in this bed for the past nine hours since last night, I couldn’t possibly tell.”

Daichi’s new (temporary) neighbor is not only stunningly beautiful but also funny, friendly, with just a touch of mysterious.
Naturally, Daichi freaks the fuck out.
(AU where everyone lives in the same building and everyone is gay)
(complete)
i do (cherish you) - by gabstar
The first time Daichi suggests it, it’s a joke.
“Sugawara Koushi,” he says solemnly. He’s bent on one knee, the floor is still sticky with sweat post-practice. He offers up the lost ring, found while mopping off gym floors. “Will you marry me?”
((Five times Daichi asks Suga to marry him, plus once where he finally, finally says yes.))

TsukkiYama
The Great Yamaguchi-Tsukishima Split (Capitalization Necessary) - by WyYeuw
“But no, the current situation isn’t normal. This situation requires the full attention of the team. No, what’s really concerning this time around, is that Yamaguchi is the one ignoring Tsukishima.” Yamaguchi confesses. Tsukishima fucks up—like, really fucks up. The volleyball club notices and loses a week’s worth of practice.
(complete)
★ Do you see what I see? - by superpapershark
Three times Tsukishima wonders what colour Yamaguchi’s eyes are, and the one time he finds out.
(complete)
★ Try This On For Size - by CloudMonsta
A lot changed for Yamaguchi Tadashi over the course of high school. He started trying on dresses, for one.
(complete)
Blood - by darkbluebox
Words like "Muggle-born” and “Pure-blood” don’t mean a lot when you’re still a child, but everyone has to grow up sooner or later.
(complete)
AsaNoya
Setting Aside Your Pride and Your Prejudice - by sugamama_crowshi
“Oh, Pride and Prejudice?” an unfamiliar voice asked. Noya was pulled from his search as the man before him spoke. He blinked up at him a few times. Then he stared. Nishinoya’s mouth was probably hanging open slightly. He couldn’t help it. Before him stood the single most gorgeous man Nishinoya Yuu had every laid eyes on.
Nishinoya Yuu experiences love at first sight at the library. Azumane Asahi is excited to think that another Japanese person has heard of Jane Austen. Through a series of lies and café meetups the two begin to learn more about each other. And fall for each other too.
(complete)
★ I’d Like You Anyway - by KuriKuri
Yū believes in soulmates, but that doesn’t mean he believes in them.
(Or: An AU in which any permanent marking you get on your body - like a tattoo - also appears on your soulmate. And Yū gets a lot of tattoos.)
(complete)
★ come and take a walk on the wild side - by Authoress
There’s a bloodcurdling scream of terror, and then Noya remembers that, right, there’s a new person moving into the apartment next to him. Oops.
(in which Noya is accidentally the Worst Neighbor Ever, Asahi loses twenty years of his life to stress, and Rolling Thunder is the star of the show.)
(complete)
Under the Radar - by lilien passe (lilienpasse)
Two weeks after Asahi rejoins the team, Noya finds himself starting to slip during practice. Missed receives, floor burns, the whole nine yards. But when Tanaka points out the possible cause, Noya’s hard-pressed to believe him. There’s no way someone as dopey yet implausibly-competent as Asahi could be the cause of all his distress. After all, Noya doesn’t worry about much beyond the court, and he certainly doesn’t hold grudges. Right? (Semi-AU)

KuroKen
★ Saltwater Room - by hipster-yams (madamedicelia)

(complete)
★ Water and Brimstone - by aetherdrive
Kuroo and Kenma are assigned to go undercover as a result of Bokuto’s awkward attempt at playing matchmaker… but their simple case turns out to be a lot more dangerous than they expected.

Show A Little Faith - by minijhi

★ love me like you do - by crossbelladonna
Iwaizumi’s family line is cursed to die a year after they fall in love. Admittedly, he knows falling for his childhood friend may be a mistake. But he did and he passed and Death got what he wants that is until Oikawa makes a trade—his memories for Iwaizumi’s life.

The PDA jar - by Poteto
“What is that thing for?”
“I’m glad you asked, captain. This… is the Public Display of Affection jar. Or PDA jar for short.”
“Now whenever you do something that may hurt our children’s innocence, you’ll have to put money in the jar as a punishment.“
(complete)
★ equilibrium - by laconicGhost \
Hajime sighs, leaning against the stove as he turns to face Tooru, who’s still peeking up at him from under his arm. He purses his lips and ignores the heat in his cheeks as he rolls a stiff shoulder.
“What?”
Tooru hides his face when he realizes he’s been caught, laughing a little bit to cover up his embarrassment. “I’m happy, Iwa-chan,” he says cheerfully.

Multi/Misc.
★ Sincerely Yours - by quinnlocke [Multi.]
Saturday detention isn’t normally a place you go in order to find the answers to your problems
It’s where you go when you’ve fucked up bad enough you have to lose an entire Saturday to make up for what you’ve done.
The Prince and The Criminal were caught cutting class. The Outsider cursed out his Shakespeare professor. The Jock and The Brain got into a fist fight.
And the Birthday Boy, he’s not even supposed to be here…
(complete)
★ call me maybe - by totooru [MatsuMaki]
Hanamaki texts the wrong number when trying to extort tips out of Oikawa in order to defeat Iwaizumi in arm wrestling, and then continues to text the witty stranger who had answered.

Love It If We Made It - by mangetsu_san [KyouHaba]
Yahaba locks himself up in his room after their loss to Karasuno, so Kyoutani decides to take him on a little adventure.
(complete)
Mixed Signals - by snoqualmie [KyouHaba]
Feelings are definitely a thing he’s having. Kyoutani is really sweet. He’s family oriented and he prefers novels with female leads and he’s in all honors classes. He kind of has a big head, totally has a big smile, definitely has a big heart. His eyes are nice, he’s got that dimple. Yahaba groans and rubs his fists into his eyes.
(complete)
The Lost & the Found - by AJ (anna_panda) [Multi]
"Being lost is worth the being found.”
Hinata thinks he finally knows his way around the castle, Kenma knows he definitely doesn’t and it’s a miracle Iwaizumi hasn’t thrown Oikawa off the Astronomy Tower yet. Just another year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry.
(ongoing)
it’s easier for you to let me go - by burritosong [YakuLev]
the one with the proposal
(complete)
1800-GET-REKT - by doggoneit [KuroTsukki]
“I see you like it Between the Sheets.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Your drink. It’s good stuff but I’m more of a Blowjob kinda guy.”
(complete)
★ Crumbling Foundations - by Captain_Hughes_ZU, ToshiChan [Gen]
Things like this didn’t happen in Karasuno. It was just a school. Learning, making friends, taking exams and playing volleyball. Lots of volleyball. So it was really nothing out of the ordinary for the team to be in the gym on a simple Monday morning, training away. But two men walking into the gym with guns, one demanding to take his son? That wasn’t ordinary, not at all…
(complete)
And that’s a wrap, i really enjoyed putting this together! Got a bit of nostalgia from when i first started getting into Haikyuu.
I hope you enjoy reading the fics i recommended, i still have heaps more so look out for a second part!
Anyways,
Au revoir!
