Note: This masterlist is only for long fanfiction (30k+ word fanfiction only). This list will be updated with the last updated date noted above.
✦ - 10/10 fanfic, please read
✸Infinite Spirits - 76k -
While searching for a job, Langa happens upon a bar. He's not exactly qualified to work there, but a friendly bartender convinces him to perform at the open mic. It's been a long time since Langa last sang. Is he ready for a new muse?
Reki, self-proclaimed bartender extraordinaire and chemistry whiz kid, doesn't have a lot of friends. So when a clueless, angel-voiced guy shows up at the bar, what's he supposed to do? Not immediately befriend him? Yeah, right.
2. ✸Touch - 94k - In a world where Langa never moved to Okinawa after his dad’s passing, he starts having dreams about a guy he has never met.
He thinks it's only part of his imagination, then why does he feels nostalgic every time he wakes up?
3. ✸Tomorrow, and the day after that - 160k -
Long distance relationships don't work. That's what everyone says. It's too much of a distance, too much of an effort. Sooner or later, you'll get bored, or your partner will be bored. If not, real life happens and you'll drift apart.
That's why both Langa and Reki don't say anything about their growing feelings for each other, when Langa moves back to Canada as a professional skater for eight months. Perhaps they can wait until they see each other again. For now, both boys simply look forward to the other's call or chat every single day, and the day after that.
Aka slow burn university aged Renga, but make it long distance pining.
4. ✸The Boy from Okinawa - 104k - This is an alternative to what happens at the end of Sk8 the Infinity's anime episode 4.
5. ✸Summer Time (Family) Madness - 107k - Langa's cousin is in town for the summer. She will make sure to embarrass her favorite baby cousin, especially in front of his crush.
Or a slice-of-life type fic with apparently a plot now
6. ✸Collared - 131k - When Langa moves to Okinawa with his mom, he's not expecting much. But then, on his first day of school, he meets the cutest Omega, whose scent draws him in and who makes him feel alive again.
The only problem is that the Omega is collared. And seems to have a very possessive Alpha already. But Langa may be too far gone to let that stop him.
7. ✸After Midnight - 125k - Langa and his mother moved to Okinawa after the passing of his father. Perhaps it was time for a change, as their home back in Canada had been nothing but a constant reminder of his father’s absence. Now in Japan, Langa doesn’t expect much to change in his life, other than the culture.
How surprised he was when he started his first day of school and sat by a certain redhead, who smelled like the most tantalizing thing he’s ever smelled, which definitely awoke something in him.
Calm down, it only awoke the vampire blood in Langa. Oh, right, forgot to mention, Langa is a half-vampire and now having a thirsting crisis.
8. ✸Let's go Together - 120k - It would only be a matter of time before Langa noticed he was acting weird and confronted him about it. What was Reki supposed to do then? What could he say that would make sense? More sense than "yeah, sorry, man, I might have fallen a teeny-tiny bit in love with you"?
He froze. In love? No, no, nonono, that couldn’t be it. Admiration, friendship, and well, some type of crush, maybe, since Langa was so talented, and cool and always knew exactly what to say to make Reki feel all warm inside, but in love? A sequence from the video flowed into
Reki’s mind; when Langa had started smiling, the pink evening light coloring his hair purple, and how his eyes had glittered, the way they always did when something made him truly happy or excited… Reki whimpered into his hands and squirmed, folding in on himself on the
bed.
Damn it, damn it, damn it, DAMN IT.
He was so fucking screwed.
(Or in which Reki finds himself in a most surprising situation; on a paradise island with all
his friends - travel and accommodation paid in full by his least favorite person. At least the
man in question isn't with them. The holiday is challenging enough as Reki tries to figure out
his confusing feelings for Langa.)
9. ✸Definitely you - 120k -
Picking up where season 1 left off, Reki and Langa get together and spend the rest of their time in high school skating, making out (among other things), and being generally awkward but adorable as they figure out life together.
Note: Mature chapters are marked with warnings at the top for anyone who wants to skip that content.
10. ✸His Mother Tongue - 153k -
Learning a language for your bro was totally a reasonable thing to do, Reki decided. A best bro. A bro who you wanted to spend the rest of your life with. A bro who you would follow across the universe. A bro who you loved so much, as a friend, that you genuinely couldn’t imagine your life without them at your side.
It's almost time to graduate, and neither Reki nor Langa have any concrete plans for their first foray into adulthood. But they'll have to decide what to do eventually--whether it's going to university, finding a full-time job, or trying to make skating a lucrative past-time. There is only one sure thing: Reki wants his future to include Langa no matter what, even if that means following him halfway across the world.
Sure, Reki's aware that learning English won't guarantee that he and Langa spend the rest of their lives together, but he figures it'll at least give him a fighting chance.
Strangely enough, he's right.
11. ✸Meet Me on the Fire Escape - 102k - It was summer in Okinawa and Reki was only 16 when he became an orphan.
A story of losing family, grief, falling in love, healing, found family, and dark secrets. Not exactly in that order.
12. ✸What's left of our wings - 207k - All Reki wants is to make friends in college, but so far he's been out of luck. So when Langa Hasegawa wanders into his campus coffeeshop, an awkward finance major with a big heart and a secret passion for birds, Reki's whole college experience comes to life. He and Langa study together, play frisbee on the lawn together, crash in Reki's dorm bed together, share sweaters and whispered secrets and soft touches, and Reki's so happy with him that he's terrified to let anything ruin their friendship.
(reki and langa navigate college, homesickness, important life decisions and found families, and the aching feeling of discovering friendship for the first time)
13. ✸Local skate dads adopt three sons and a hooligan - 104k -
Cherry and Joe are NOT parents, thank you very much, and they would appreciate it if you could remember that the next time one of their idiots get in trouble.
Or: They don't mean to adopt all these kids, except for the part where they very much do.
14. ✸Bunny slopes - 101k - The snow is beginning to fall again, in slow drifts, and the flurries melt when they kiss the glass, and it’s magical in a way Reki never imagined anything could be. He glances over at Langa, whose face is close enough that Reki can see the faded scarring on his cheeks, his pale lips with the cupid’s bow in the center that Reki has wanted, for so long, to kiss.
Langa has always been beautiful, but he looks the most beautiful to Reki when he has that wonder in his eyes, usually at S, and occasionally in the dusky sunset at DopeSketch or on the half-pipe at the skatepark. The way he looks up at the mountains makes Reki’s throat go dry.
He wants Langa to look at him that way.
the christmas-in-canada fic nobody asked for, complete with some awkward first kisses, matching pajama sets, too much cuddling by the fireplace, a little mistletoe, and of course, the beloved “there was only one bed” trope <3
15. ✸Only practice makes perfect - 173k -
Reki doesn't know the first thing about kissing and after a bit of light-hearted taunting, gets the idea to practice with Langa. They're best friends, aren't they? So they should help each other out. Boy lips couldn't be that different from girl lips anyway. Langa, meanwhile, knows this isn't a good idea. Yet, if having Reki to himself is ultimately impossible, then might as well take what he can get--even if it is going to be painful in the end.
Their experimentation starts out innocently enough, but with curiosity and raging hormones at play, they might be too late by the time they go too far.
16. ✸(the first time) he kissed a boy - 169k - Reki is insecure about his lack of kissing experience. Langa just wants to help him feel like he's good enough, even if teaching Reki to kiss means breaking his own heart.
(yet another practice kissing au)
The next random lobby voice was low, smooth, and like liquid gold. "Hey guys, let's have a good game."
"Oh. My. God." Reki swooned. Metaphorically and literally. The voice scratched an itch in his brain. It warmed his cheeks and other places. It made his heart beat quicken. The sexiest voice he'd ever heard. "His voice.. Chat help. This is why I'm gay."
There was an audible clearing of a throat. A light cough, not quite an ahem, but definitely an attention grab. "You think I have a nice voice?"
"Uhhhh-" Reki squeaked out some sort of flustered noise as his eyes flew across his screen from chat to his in-game audio status. Yup, that was unmuted. The next sound was even more high pitched. "Yep!"
He furiously clicked the mute button as his face felt like the inside of a volcano and of course, of course, chat and Miya heard that. He ignored his friend's laughter ringing through discord and paid no mind to the millions of blushing Rekis filling his chat box, because nice voice a.k.a. snowybigfoot was talking again.
Also known as: the Streamer AU with terrible -yet adorable- flirting, shenanigans, and awful summaries.
18. ✸Say my name (i wanna dance with you) - 216k -
Reki was a huge fan of Olympian snowboarder turned professional skater Langa Hasegawa. He kept every single interview he's ever given, watched every clip of him and even bought his merch. It was admiration, not a crush, as much as his friend Miya liked to tease him about it being the latter.
Langa was a huge fan of a cute redheaded skateboarder that had a very informative channel, with tutorials that inspired him to start skating. He watched every live stream and every video he'd ever posted. Langa especially liked his other, much more popular trendy account, once he found out about it. He definitely had a crush on Reki, too bad he was probably straight and had a girlfriend.
Dream come true for the both of them when they get invited on a world skateboarding tour to promote a new game called W0RLDSK8 where Langa and Joe are featured as playable characters. Reki may not measure up to Langa's impressive heights exactly but he had his own things going for him. Langa wanted Reki, but it seemed like everyone did.
featuring: so many cities, so much panic, the sk8 group as a family, some attempts at humor and some eventual spice.
19.✸ Dreamboy - 98k - Langa Hasegawa has just moved to Okinawa in the wake of his father's death. He's trying his best to cope with his own swirling emotions, take care of his grieving mother, and just survive in a new city long enough to graduate from high school.
Reki Kyan is having strange dreams about a beautiful, blue-haired boy. What will he do when those dreams start to bleed into reality?
20. ✸Lovefool - 112k - Reki was the sun, bright and all-consuming, and instead of reflecting his light like the moon, Langa absorbed it. And his dark, crater-filled lump of rock he called a heart couldn’t give any of it back.
That was why he had to get rid of his crush on Reki.
Langa hadn’t known when these feelings for Reki had started. A few weeks after his dad’s funeral, his mom had suggested that the two boys should hang out. They both pretended that it was because his mom and Reki’s mom were friends in high school and thought it would be a good pairing, but Langa knew the truth.
His mom wanted them to hang out because Langa was a social outcast whose only friend was his now-dead father, and she needed to force someone to hang out with him so that he didn’t spend all day in his bed thinking about nothing.
After his dad's death, Langa, a local snowboarding celebrity, can't find any motivation anymore. Reki Kyan, artist and skateboarding expert, can't stop caring about what people think about him. When these two are forced together, they change each other's lives forever. When Reki lies about having a date to prom he and Langa start a fake dating relationship.
The only problem? Their feelings aren't so fake.
21.✸ Chase the infinity - 183k -
Langa isn't sure about a lot of things, but he knows that he wants to skate infinitely with Reki. Everything about the redhead makes him feel alive, and he would do anything to keep that chaotic sunshine in his life as long as he possibly can.
As the two continue to learn more about life, love, and each other, they'll have countless adventures that help to evolve their relationship.
22. ✸Out of the blue - 133k - Reki and Langa (and the rest of the sk8 gang) meet as counselors at a summer camp in Okinawa.
As he drove past the camp sign and the trees grew dense, rising up on either side of the narrow road, Reki tried to contain his excitement. He kept his foot on the brake, rolling along slowly, and drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. He couldn’t help but grin, because he was here, he was really here, and it felt like coming home.
Langa was home alone a lot, and he went places alone, but this was the first time he felt truly alone. He knew there were people down the winding road, waiting for him and his new coworkers, but right now, his world felt open and empty and exciting and scary and—
He had been hoping for a way to leave everything behind, the entire past year, and maybe this was it. He tipped his head back to look at the clouds, and felt his backpack straps cutting into his shoulders, and he felt more alive already.
23. ✸Catch me when I fall - 78k - He should have been screaming for joy, Langa had done it, he had beaten Joe, one of the best racers in S, but Reki couldn't forget that Langa's next race could end up being against Adam. He couldn't stand by while Langa pushed himself to these unimaginable heights. He couldn't watch while Langa maimed himself trying to compete with people way outside his league. He couldn’t lose another friend.
It was at that moment that Reki realized he couldn't be the supportive friend on the sidelines. There was only one thing he could do.
He left.
In the aftermath of Langa's race against Joe, Reki realizes he can't support Langa's dangerous habit. So he decides to leave skateboarding, and Okinawa for good.
