Inked MoonlitStardust / ladyspiderqueen Rating: Explicit Fandom: Daiya no Ace Pairing: KuraSawa

Summary Each person is born with an incomplete brand, completed when you meet your soulmate. The brand link the couple to past lives, lost memories, and forgotten skills. Eijun anxiously awaits the day his brand completes; Youichi however, is less than thrilled with what “destiny” signed him up for. Read for soulmates, a bit of history, and new beginnings.

Favorite Line/Moment The chapter when Mochi and Eijun go to the baseball game and the realizations that follow. (I’m such a sap and not even sorry.) And the ending, of course!

Comments This is my favorite KuraSawa fic. I love how the characters are written and the building of their past lives. I love the history aspect: This fic really got me thinking about tattoos and the history of tattooing. (It just so happens that the Field Museum has a tattoo exhibit going on right now, and I really want to check it out. Partially because, “Hell yeah! Tattoos!” and partially to see if they have a display of Nara Ink and such.) Very excited to see this AU expanded. Thank you for writing and sharing with us! :)

Time Flies LiveThroughThePages / pagannosaurus-rex Rating: Teen+ (Each one-shot has it's own rating; use your brain legos.) Fandom: Daiya no Ace Pairing: MiyuNori

Summary Scenes/One shots of single dad Nori raising his daughter. The stories of life with his wife, teammates spoiling his child, and realizing he can love someone again. Read for domestic-ness, funny shenanigans with baseball dorks and an adorable small child, and some sappy relationship stuff.

Favorite Line/Moment Man, I don't know if I can pick favorites. Lies, yes I can. It Began with a Letter, Father's Day, & Sleep Well (I'm completely biased with this one. Lol).

Comments I. CANNOT. TELL YOU. HOW MUCH. I. LOVE. PARENT AU! :) Pagsy is one of the reasons I started shipping MiyuNori, and this AU is one of my favorites overall, and definitely my favorite for this ship. I laugh, I cry...I feel a bit of everything in this AU, and I love it to bits! Pagsy, thanks for writing something so real and sharing it with the fandom. :)

Burning Bright kittebasu Rating: Mature Fandom: Haikyu Pairing: OiKuro

Summary At Blue Castle, Oikawa is a gifted magician and captain of the Elemental Arena (aka Token) team. When Kuroo Tetsuro transfers in, and Oikawa's whole world is flipped upside down. Read for magical realism, elemental magic, sassy Seijoh's, and being who you want yourself to be.

Favorite Line/Moment "Faeries and magic have nothing to do with outer space!" Tooru huffs. "You’re talking like you've never seen an episode of Star Trek!" The amused twitch of Kuroo's lips has Tooru looking at him in only partially feigned horror. "You haven't, have you? You're a heathen. Star Trek is one of the most important franchises of modern times." It’s a well-trodden rant that he’s given Hajime more than once. "And you're clearly a nerd," replies Kuroo, seeming delighted with the fact.

Call Me, Maybe? girlsandanimeboys Rating: General Fandom: Daiya no Ace Pairing: MiyuSawa

Summary Barista Eijun has a crush on Mei, one of his regulars. Eijun decides to write his number on the coffee cup the next time Mei comes in. Easy, peasy! Or...well, not.

Favorite Line/Moment All the conversations between Eijun and Haruichi. I love the way their friendship is written in this fic. (Poor Haruichi. Eijun’s hopeless. xD)

YouTube...What About Baseball? rayrayswimusic / rayraywrites Rating: General Fandom: Daiya no Ace Pairing: N/A - KuraSawa BFF-ship, but not a shippy fic.

Summary While still aiming for the ace number, Eijun has amassed quite a following on YouTube. Somehow, he’s been able to keep it a secret from the team. Until Mochi finds out, anyways.

Favorite Line/Moment Pfft, the end! I’ve never played FNAF (because I’m a giant scaredy-cat), but I’m pretty sure I would have the same reaction as Eijun. xD

Comments This is a super cute fic. I love the idea of YouTuber Eijun (featuring Mochi) and I think a video game channel fits them perfectly. If you ever write more or expand this, I’m in! :) Thanks for writing Ray!

A Sawamura Family Affair thejillyfish / corteae Rated: General Fandom: Haikyuu/Daiya no Ace Pairing: Some low-key DaiSuga, but it's not a shippy fic.

Summary Daichi's cousin Eijun is in town for a family party and he invites his younger cousin to hang out at a Karasuno volleyball practice. Volleyball related shenanagins happen, baseball related shennagins happen...and everyone learns a little something too.

Favorite Line/Moment I've got 2. :) “So, Sawamura Jr., what do you know about volleyball?” “... Don’t drop the ball?” “You know, despite popular belief, Suga and I are, in fact, separate entities.” “Balls to that. He’s charming and I wanted him to sing happy birthday to me!” (This probably doesn't make sense out of context, but trust me, it's great!)

Like Perennials tothemoon / companions Rated: Teen+ Fandom: Haikyuu Pairing: IwaOi

Summary Oikawa appears in Iwaizumi's backyard during a storm. Whether he's from the past or somewhere in the future remains to be seen. Time is a fickle thing and the smallest change can have a drastic effect on everyone. Read for time travel, bounty hunters, some pining, and just wanting a happy ending.

Favorite Line/Moment “Hey Iwa-chan, do you want to know something funny? About the end? Message not delivered. If you sacrifice enough, try hard enough, you can change things for the better. Message not delivered. And I think I’m prepared to live with that. Message not delivered.”
