i wanted to show my appreciation to the authors who have given so much to me since i joined the hq!! fandom...so here’s this essay i wrote? all of these are complete and there’s no major warnings!

sunday morning rain is falling by @hweiro (iwaoi, 1.5k, T)

iwaizumi and oikawa are married and enjoying a quiet sunday morning. this is the shortest fic here but i was crying, like, 2 paragraphs into it. i don’t want to spoil why this is the most heartwarming fic EVER because my reaction when i first read it was VERY tearful, so pls pls take my word for it and read this!

ask a stupid question by @darkmagicalgirlwrites (ennofuta, 2k, G)

the new miyagi captains are invited to a tv interview and futakuchi makes it his goal to get ennoshita to laugh on camera. you end up laughing instead. i read every joke in this 3 times to fully appreciate them and the ending has the greatest Suffering Captains™ scene ever (check the comments for some exposition on what the teams were doing while the captains were away ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) it’s not inappropriate i just thought it was a good time to pull out a lenny face).

it’s like the hunger games, but better (seijou gen, 3k, G)

seijou celebrates the end of the school year by facing all the other sports teams in a paintball battle. just...read this fic please. it’s so funny. it’s from kindaichi’s point of view, which was a brilliant decision, and it has the best kunimi i’ve ever read. i literally can’t say anything more because there’s like 5 jokes in every line and i don’t want to spoil it, so pls.....read this. laugh with me

a girl of routine by @delineative (hanayui, 4k, G)

misaki hana works through her feelings about her performance as johzenji’s manager, with some help from michimiya yui. i loved how the importance of managers to their teams was central to the plot. this fic feels relatable and real, and i think it has something to do with how the author writes misaki’s thoughts knowing that every decision she makes is an insight into her character. this fic is so good, i love hana so much, pls read

good evening shuttle bus (tell me where you’re gonna take us) by @owlinaminor (reonkai, 4k, T)

oohira reon and kai nobuyuki strike up a friendship at their first nationals, and it grows into something more over the next three years. this fic is really...quiet. the mood is so soft and calming and it fits oohira and kai so well. i want fanart of the snaps reon sends kai because l m a o, i love tendou. and i love reon. and i love reonkai. there are 4 fics in this ship’s tag. j o i n  u s in this suffering

a bouquet of flours by @guyfierimpreg (i am LOVING the url, matsuhana, 5k, G)

matsukawa and hanamaki raise a sack of flour together. i don’t think i have to say more but i LOVE THIS so i will. the dialogue is sharp and the jokes are so funny without falling into the Matsuhana Meme Trap (removing the characterization from their jokes until it’s just a reference to the latest meme. i think they would have meme preferences, memeferences if you will). the author’s voice is really strong and relatable. think of the greatest series finale of a tv show you’ve ever seen, and the ending to this fic is better than that.
