Do you have any good oumasai fics to rec?
Oooooh um I’ll try to rec stuff that i think are pretty underrated?? Since most of the stuff I’ve read are already pretty popular and well received (tho I will still rec my personal favorite ones or those that took me by surprise!!)
Fics that make you think:
A Year in Omelas by LovingDefiance (pre-game, probably my favorite pre-game depiction of kokichi’s and saihara’s personalities/relationship; its very thoughtful and really makes you think about the outside world)
Matchmaker by Mediocre_Kazoo_Player (a really great and insightful fic on how relationships were decided in the game and just makes you rethink most of the interactions)
Its a lie (but it feels real) by qinnamon (post-game, shuichi tries to put himself in ouma’s shoes)
The way through a man’s heart (is through his stomach) by orphan account (probably my favorite AU fic out there, I just find their relationship very natural & endearing in this one; + Apartment neighbours AU & ouma is a clown)
Sexy Singles in Your Area by 264feet (if you can get over the second hand embarrassment at the first part then you’re in for a treat by the second half, this is one of those fics where you could say “I DID NOT expect for this to take that turn”)
A little Crooked by Neophobia (post-game, pre-game kokichi pretends to be in-game kokichi after waking up; I really wish the author expanded on this more its really good)
If you wanna have a good time:
Sectional Rivalry by megastarstrike (this fic is just good vibes!)
so YA novels were a fcking lie by sleep247 (Ouma lands himself a vampire roommate; This author’s Ouma is just really fun, and Shuichi’s interaction with him is pretty cute)
Take my hand, lets go depart by Mamichigo (oumasai is more of a background but its a heartwarming roadtrip fic and just kaede, shuichi, maki, momota and ouma being genuine friends)
If you wanna have a sad time:
Dream Demon by Kerouge (this one’s a real punch in the gut)
No good deed by grayimperia (the writing in this one is goood)
the hell where youth and laughter go by seraf (ouma-centric study!!)
put on a show by grayimperia (another ouma-centric study!!)
A very honorable mention to Lies You’ve Told Me by Mediocre_Kazoo_Player. Tsumugi & Ouma-centric (or is it?) its an absolute brilliant mind-fuck of a fic that captures psychological horror very well. Saihara’s scene alone just rendered me speechless but It’s really not for everyone though, and includes other Ouma pairs so its an honorable mention!
