some of these fics are rated e!
Into Something More
e. 9.8k. sakuatsu are fwb and sakusa catches feelings, so yachi suggests he reads erotica to make sense of his feelings. atsumu catches him reading it and suggest they act out a scene. VERY HOT. ALSO VERY SWEET. i love this stuff, holy cow.
mi casa, su casa
t. 11.4k. sakusa needs a place to live and atsumu offers him the spare bedroom in his apartment. everything seems fine and dandy...until sakusa makes a list of house rules that makes atsumu question everything. i love fics that play into sakusa's fastidious habits and atsumu doing what he can to follow them.
The Perfect Love Life
g. 14.4k. sakusa is a romcom junkie and fantasizes of living out romcom tropes, except his boyfriend is atsumu, and that's saying a lot. very funny and cute!
I wish to live in a world
t. 24.8k. every time i read a hatsuna fic, i know it'll be rec-worthy. what i love about their writing is how atmospheric it is, how they capture emotion so well. you can feel komori's nostalgia in this, from watching sakusa's relationship with atsumu start and then blossom, and as a reader, you're also watching (reading) along and makes you think, wow. these boys really grew up. this and your best american boy are probably my favorites so far.
bathwater
m. 93.4k. 10/10. this is a literary novel on steroids with all the imagery and poetic devices. basic premise: sakusa doesn't sleep because of nightmares and atsumu can't sleep because of insomnia. advanced premise: sakusa is scared of letting anyone in and it's manifested in his dreams. take your time with this, it's worth it.
soft blue
g. 6k. bokuto finds a sketchbook under his bed and discovers it's akaashi's. overcome with curiosity, bokuto flips through it and finds a drawing of himself and is over the moon, except akaashi isn't. FLUFF OVERLOAD. also bokuto's texts to kuroo are hilarious. top-tier fluff.
ice cream cones and stained red lips
t. 6.1k. in which bad boy akaashi is punished by tutoring bokuto. akaashi is more dedicated to bokuto's grades than bokuto himself, and i enjoyed the subtle characteristics in this slight au (since akaashi doesn't play volleyball, he's too busy being bad). very cute!
like satellites
t. 14k. in which akaashi breaks up with bokuto and a few years later, becomes roommates with him. love the fic's structure and eventual getting back together. every fic where akaashi breaks up with bokuto for "not being enough" is so devastating. please give me the reverse or i'll write it myself.
Backspace
t. 3.5k. a series of text messages hinata didn't send to kageyama while in brazil. THE PINING. love the concept and little details that remind hinata of kageyama. he's whipped.
Restless Nights
t. 7.3k. once hinata and kageyama start cuddling, there's no going back. love this trope and premise, love the eventual confession at the end, too!
tracing a dream
t. 7.8k. nishinoya gets a lil' obsessed with interpreting dreams and hinata learns a thing or two from him. featuring one too many dreams about kageyama and what they mean.
the heart, eager to hear everything.
t. 8.5k. in which hinata is thinking about the future and looks at kageyama and wow, hey, was he always this pretty...? amazing karasuno4 dynamics and prose!
swallowed by the sun
t. 17.5k. hinata gets a girlfriend and suddenly, kageyama cannot function normally. ooh i love me feelings realization and confessions. excellent characterization too!
Dinosaur Color
t. 4.2k. tsukkiyama. tsukishima gets his jersey for the sendai frogs and yamaguchi says it's dinosaur colored. i just love some domestic, slice of life gays every once in a while.
do your trick, turn on the stars
t. 10.1k. i love the trope of one lover moving away because he thinks he has no chance when all this time, he did. tsukki is the one moving away and pining and yamaguchi waits for him <3 lovely prose!
let loose a love (all pent up and painfully out of place)
t. 12.4k. yamaguchi gets a boyfriend and tsukishima gets sick. these events are (not) related. pining tsukki is a flavor of tsukki i never thought i needed until i tasted it.
This Quiet Pride
t. 32.4k. 6/6. primarily a tsukishima character study with tsukkiyama as a treat. this is really the year tsukki grows on me more because wow, writers truly have a way of making his story beautiful and highlighting his growth - this is one such story. these two are disgustingly cute too, it should be criminal how quickly they've grown on me.
plead
e. 9.1k. iwaoi. you ever open a nsfw fic and read the setup before getting to the smut? not this time. you're just thrown into it head first and i'm not complaining. stunningly beautiful prose as well!
Only Need The Light When It's Burning Low
g. 9.5k. 2/2. matsuhana. in which hanamaki struggles to sleep at night because he has nightmares about matsukawa. vivid descriptions and so soft. love these boys.
a universe without you (would be thoroughly mundane)
t. 11.5k. sunaosa. atsumu pov watching osamu fall in love with suna. always love outsider povs, especially when both boys are so scared of actually confessing and atsumu has to watch them dance around each other.
timmy play your trumpet (let the people go beserk)
t. 12k. atsuhina. me, reading atsuhina?? honestly, i mostly read this for msby4 shenangians, but atsumu's gradual descent to loving hinata was very cute. i wouldn't be opposed to reading more 👀
it's like a summer shower
t. 13k. kuroken. for their first anniversary, kenma attempts to recreate an extravagant kaiseki dinner that kuroo's granny used to make. FLUFFY. CUTE. BEAUTIFUL. kenma's love is boundless in this one.
Tendou's Bakery for Wayward Soulmates
t. 45.1k. 7/7. ushiten. confession: i don't read soulmate aus. usually. except for this one. this one is very sweet and fluffy and tendou is such a loveable guy who helps couples find their soulmates and ends up finding his own in the end. one of my favorites <3
