what if i was an unstoppable force and you were an immovable object and we were both boys 😳

or, why you should vote for AOHINA in the @hqrarepairtournament!

if you want my shortest possible argument, it's right there in the title: the expectation-defying romance of the speediest, jumpiest, sunniest and smiliest Ultimate Decoy versus the stony-faced, silent, seemingly impassive Iron Wall of Date. don't you just love it? i sure do <3

but just because I see it doesn't mean you do. if everyone saw it, it wouldn't be a rarepair, would it?

for my second-shortest argument, see here. aohina is sugawara-approved!

and if that's still not enough to convince you, buckle up for the long, LONG argument

before the first karasuno vs datekou match, aone doesn't pay hinata much mind, and hinata is TERRIFIED of aone, as many are. but once the match begins...

well, aone sure notices hinata now.

if you ask me, this match would be where aone's feelings for hinata first began. here's the handshake page again for good measure:

aone makes the first move, acknowledging hinata as a worthy opponent. also, just look at aone's facial expressions? he looks nervous. it's so cute. i love him

we don't see aone again until the spring high, when he first runs into hinata - where else? - at the bathroom, when hinata is already trapped between iwaoi and ushijima.

aone clearly already sees hinata as an acquaintance worthy of greeting (and also does not care at all about the seijoh-shiratorizawa beef and i love him) and hinata... well, he's still easily startled, but once he's realized who it is, he bows back - and thus begins a beautiful tradition.

during karasuno's match against johzenji, aone becomes defensive of hinata to futakuchi -

and not only do his teammates recall the friendship he formed with hinata at the interhigh, they note that this is one of the few times they've ever heard him speak. and it's because of hinata.

and after karasuno wins against johzenji...

aone asks his teammates to go on ahead so he can wait outside the gym and issue a challenge... not to karasuno, not to asahi, but to hinata. and hinata challenges him back. AND AONE SMILES.

and then once aone has left, hinata starts blushing and shouting nonsense because he has gay ADHD. this would be where hinata's feelings began, i think. he feels singled out and special, and it gets him fired up. he can't wait to face aone again! (also note, hinata doesn't get startled by aone anymore after this point.)

...but alas, things don't go their way, thanks to seijoh.

and after datekou's loss, when kogane claims he'll train harder to be able stop any attackers, no matter how "big and strong" they are, aone tells him this:

like. cmon. you can't deny. this is pretty damn gay!

we don't see aone at all during karasuno's matches against seijoh or shiratorizawa, or during the ball boy arc (though i'm pretty sure koganegawa does mention at least once during the training camp that aone respects hinata :3c). but he makes his return for the karasuno vs datekou practice match!!

hinata is finally totally comfortable around aone off the court, no longer jumpy and nervous. this match is also where the sugawara seal of approval makes its appearance!

i guess you could argue this also counts as evidence for futakuchi/hinata, or koganegawa/hinata, but they're not in this tournament, are they.

and god, just LOOK at all these other panels:

epic gay staring contests, with a corresponding anime screenshot for good measure;

hinata chipping away at aone's shell the Iron Wall;

aone delivering an incredibly powerful serve and hinata reacting with a flush while the lighting in the panel singles him out (gay awakening much?)

AND THE FINAL BOW!! THE DRAMA! THE CINNAMON TOPOGRAPHY!

in a way this bow is aone's curtain call - iirc, this is his final interaction with hinata in canon. but that doesn't mean he's not still around - datekou keeps an eye on karasuno throughout their battles on the nationals stage.

just look at that gay little sparkle. (also please appreciate what a bitch futakuchi is. i love him so much)

at this point i've pretty much caught up to where the anime has left off and i don't wanna spoil anyone who hasn't read the manga, so i'll stop here and make an even longer version later but know this: aone will keep watching hinata til the very end.

the Unstoppable Force: Hinata Shouyou, the protagonist of Haikyuu. on his team the second-shortest, the speediest, the one whose jumps make you think of a bird taking flight. the smiliest, sunshiniest, sometimes the scariest. he's never going to stop reaching for the top of the world of volleyball, no matter how many times he stumbles. a monster in the making, a friend to all. The Ultimate Decoy.

the Immovable Object: Aone Takanobu. the keystone of Date Tech's volleyball team, renowned for their incredible blocking technique. an eyebrow-less, stony-faced, silent, impassive, brick shithouse of a 16-year-old boy. terrifying even to those players older than him, he prides himself on not letting a single spike through, and shattering the will of many of the greatest aces in the prefecture. The Iron Wall of Date.

a study in contrasts. two competitors, skills perfectly matched to counter each other, personalities in stark contrast, are able to build a friendship built upon mutual respect for each others' abilities.

and they were both boys 😳

2022 Fic Recs Part 2: Other Anime

Happy New Year everyone! I have once again read a lot of fics in 2022 and want to share my favorites. I’m only reccing complete fics as usual, although I’m reading a lot of amazing WIPs. Maybe at some point I’ll do a special WIPs rec list?

Anyways! This is Part 2, which is for my anime/manga recs other than BnHA.

Part 1: BnHA (25 + 2 crossovers (Harry Potter and Star Wars)) Part 3: Everything Else (Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Stargate SG-1 crossover (1), Harry Potter (9), Julie and the Phantoms (1), The Legend of Zelda (1), Our Flag Means Death (1), Percy Jackson & Related Fandoms (6), The Sandman (4), The Sandman/Julie and the Phantoms crossover (1), Teen Wolf (5), Voltron: Legendary Defender (2), The Witcher (3))

Fandoms: Haikyuu!! (18), Hunter X Hunter (1), Jujutsu Kaisen (8)

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: Three Little Words Author: JonJackTheBoi Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Yamaguchi Tadashi Rating: General Word Count: 6,584 Summary: After learning he'd never been to one, Hinata insists on taking Yamaguchi to a pet cafe, just the two of them. Yamaguchi's only issue with it is that he can't tell if it's the type of date he wants it to be or not.

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: Playing Grown-Up Author: longleggedgit Pairing: Takeda Ittetsu/Ukai Keishin, Hinata Shouyou/Kageyama Tobio Rating: Teen Word Count: 3,856 Summary: Takeda struggles to find the balance between acting like a responsible adult authority figure and acting on what he really wants.

“See, it’s not so bad.”

Atsumu can’t take his eyes off his skates.

Shouyou chuckles. “Don’t be scared.”

“I’m not scared,” Atsumu snaps, though his whole body is shaking.

“Just look at me,” Shouyou says and Atsumu has no choice but to comply.

Having a crush on Shouyou has some particular effects on Atsumu's life, like making him act without thinking, causing his heart to flutter when he sees him, and forcing him to make a fool of himself as he tries to impress him.

It's a combination of all three that have Atsumu on an ice rink, pretending to know what he's doing, when he doesn't have a single clue.

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: Late Night Appetite Author: Cee Pairing: Miya Osamu/Oikawa Tooru Rating: Teen Word Count: 4,565 Summary: After a six-year stint in the foreign league, Oikawa returns to Japan under less than ideal conditions. He finds shelter in a small onigiri restaurant and stays longer than he should.

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: hey, is it alright if i keep calling out to you? Author: flickercity Pairing: Bokuto Koutarou/Miya Atsumu Rating: Mature Word Count: 21,621 Series: Part 1 of (Words: - Works: ) Summary: "And here’s the thing.Atsumu is not a popular person by any means. Fuck, most people can barely stand him. But when Bokuto is around and happy to see him, he feels this pure, stirring awareness of being a really exciting person no matter how boring he actually ends up being. And Atsumu has never been good at not chasing the highs he wants to deserve." OR Miya Atsumu vs. the mortifying ordeal of being known: the fic

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: blood brothers Author: billionairevolleyboysclub Pairing: Akaashi Keiji/Miya Osamu, Akaashi Keiji/Miya Atsumu Rating: Mature (Part 2 is Explicit) Word Count: 2,416 Series: Part 1 of blood brothers (Words: 6,841 - Works: 2) Summary: Akaashi Keiji has a Kink. “Could I get yer notes after class? Sorry, I missed the first half.” When he speaks, Akaashi’s gaze can’t help but flick to his mouth. Slightly elongated canines drop down to break an otherwise even row of white teeth. Oh, Akaashi thinks.

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: the soulmate swap Author: electraDandelion Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Miya Atsumu Rating: Teen Word Count: 9,670 Summary: Hinata Shōyō had waited for his 21st birthday his whole life. Perhaps the thing that got him through the first 21 years of his life — especially through the last year and a half of life halfway across the world — was knowing that somewhere, there was someone waiting for him. Someone made for him. That night, as he went to sleep on the eve of his 21st year, Hinata Shōyō would meet his soulmate. Well, technically, he wouldn’t physically meet his soulmate, so much as swap bodies with them for a day.

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: The Trifecta Author: surveycorpsjean Pairing: Bokuto Koutarou/Kuroo Tetsurou/Terushima Yuuji (Established Bokuto Koutarou/Kuroo Tetsurou) Rating: Explicit Word Count: 28,863 Summary: It only took an ass grab, two black eyes, and a couple beers for them to realize how cute Terushima actually is.

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: condensation Author: FireHeartAW Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Kageyama Tobio Rating: Explicit Word Count: 5,821 Summary: “What do you want, Hinata?” Kageyama asks so quietly, hidden behind his other hand that’s now dripping water down his mouth and chin. Hinata can’t take his eyes away, mesmerized by the way the water trails the jawline he’s wanted to kiss so many times, and because of it, he answers honestly. “You. Kage–” Hinata starts, but Kageyama’s eyes sharpen daggers into him as if he said something wrong – and it’s too much, and the cold touch of fear sends a shiver down his spine. “Tobio. Say Tobio, again,” Kageyama requests, the daggers melting into the beginnings of greed, eyebrows furrowing as he bites into the fingers that rest along his lip. It feels like the floor below his feet is nonexistent, like he’s slipping on the gravity of emotions that’s held him in one place for so long. It’ll take this one final exhale of words, one more sentence to change the nature of their relationship and it’s terrifying – but when have either of them ever been afraid to take the leap for things they want? “It’s you, Tobio. It’s always been you,” Hinata reveals and the world around them takes a breath, holds it, and then lets go.

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: any way you slice it Author: FireHeartAW Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Kageyama Tobio Rating: Teen Word Count: 6,706 Summary: In which Hinata confesses to Kageyama via a slice of cake, borrowing a Brazilian tradition for his own personal feelings. But, what if Kageyama came to visit him in Rio with a confession of his own? “‘Yama,” Hinata starts, closing the distance between them and reaching up before he knows what's gotten into him, his sand-scratched fingertips brushing against soft warm cheeks as he turns Kageyama’s face to look at him. He thinks he feels Kageyama lean into it, fantasizes that him closing his eyes is out of comfort rather than exhaustion, and hopes that it’s okay to be touching him like this, so much different than they ever were back home before he left. “What did you come here for?” he whispers, as silent as the contrails left hidden amongst the darkening starry sky above them, as soft as the calm sea just a few blocks away. Kageyama opens his eyes slowly, long eyelashes revealing the deep cobalt constellations of his gaze like a curtain, more emotion swirling inside them than any galaxy.

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: but i'm already down Author: flickercity Pairing: Kageyama Tobio/Miya Atsumu Rating: Mature Word Count: 2,413 Summary: Tobio yawned, scratching the back of his head. He looked at Atsumu slowly. “I thought this was supposed to be about sex,” he said. “Well, yeah,” Atsumu met Tobio’s gaze for only a second and quickly looked away. “But then ya wanted to know more about your fake kingdom and I got invested in what I made up, so.” His voice jerked as he pulled out of the parking lot. “Now I want a backstory too.” OR Atsumu and Tobio try roleplay and completely miss the point.

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: Sprout Author: boomturkey Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Oikawa Tooru Rating: Teen Word Count: 9,077 Summary: When Hinata is fifteen he discovers true love is suspension in the air, a moment of connection, perfectly in sync before his palm strikes the ball. And who better to have a connection with than the best-worst-best person he's ever known Three snapshots of Hinata during his time at Aoba Jousai.

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: The Witching Hour Author: ive_been_losing_sleep Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Kozume Kenma Rating: Teen Word Count: 14,009 Summary: The Witching Hour: The time of night in which the world is at its quietest And the demons walk amongst mortals

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: how the game is played Author: Slumber Pairing: Miya Osamu/Suna Rintarou Rating: Teen Word Count: 2,014 Summary: There is a light smattering of applause around them, Rintarou thinks. He isn’t really sure. Everything fades to a blur around him as he focuses on Osamu, and this moment, and tries very hard to keep playing his part. But the bottle of champagne that their waiter brings out, interestingly enough—well. That had been complimentary. In which Osamu and Suna fake proposals for fun and profit.

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: tabula rasa Author: extinguish Pairing: Kageyama Tobio/Oikawa Tooru Rating: Teen Word Count: 9,070 Summary: Kageyama runs into Oikawa in Tokyo and realizes that time heals all wounds, among other things.

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: Allusions Author: Koocatoo Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Miya Atsumu Rating: Teen Word Count: 7,732 Summary: Hinata can't stop thinking about Atsumu, who has only probably been flirting with him since the end of Karasuno's final match during Nationals. He's not entirely sure, but it's been driving him up the wall! Perhaps his trip to spend a weekend with Atsumu in Hirakata will lead to some answers. At least he has a helpful friend group backing him up! Well... somewhat helpful. Alternatively: Pining, Third-Year Hinata has the hots for Rookie Atsumu, and it's becoming a problem.

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: Disequilibrium Author: bokubroya (liarielle) Pairing: None Rating: Teen Word Count: 15,200 Summary: “I received a call from Hinata’s father,” he begins, finally looking up at the rest of them. “For the time being, Hinata will not be returning to practice. His father didn’t provide many details, not yet at least. He did say that it’s not because of his injuries, Hinata has fully recovered. He also…” Takeda-sensei trails off then, his mouth pressing into a firm line. “Take-chan?” Tanaka is the first one brave enough to speak up. “What’s wrong?” Takeda-sensei takes a deep breath and squares his shoulders back, meeting their eyes. “He said that he can’t guarantee that Hinata will be coming back.” ----- Or, what if, after Hinata and Kageyama fight, Hinata questions whether he should continue playing with Karasuno?

Fandom: Hunter X Hunter Title: Harlequin Romance Author: athena_crikey Pairing: Gon Freecs/Hisoka Rating: Explicit Word Count: 26,104 Summary: “Um,” he says, and behind the desk the clerk looks up. His eyes, Gon sees in surprise, are a startling gold. They shine like candy-wrapper foil in the low light. “How much is the tea?” “Price varies by weight and selection,” replies the clerk in a soft tenor. He flicks his fingers towards the shelves; his nails are long and sharp like a mountain lion’s except that they’re painted pale blue, his fingers narrow and shapely. “The price is listed at the bottom of the label,” he intones as though he’s said it a thousand times. And yet somehow Gon can’t see many people stopping into this shop and even fewer interrupting the clerk to ask. Or: Hisoka runs a tea store as a front to a hit man business.

Fandom: Jujutsu Kaisen Title: Eternity Enshrined Author: apartment Pairing: Fushiguro Megumi/Sukuna Rating: Explicit Word Count: 126,211 Series: Part 1 of Eternity Enshrined (Words: 144,935 - Works: 3) Summary: Transported back in time, Megumi must rely on the only familiar face in Heian Japan. Ryoumen Sukuna, a curse to some and deity to others, decides to keep him. The futility of Megumi’s plans distilled into desperation, which had him contemplating that name again: Ryoumen Sukuna, the only familiar one here. But the people spoke of Sukuna in this era with utter terror. There was no air of triumph like in the modern day. Sukuna hadn’t been sealed yet, and the world knew him as the unbeatable, invincible King of Curses. He wasn’t the Sukuna that Megumi knew.

Embarrassed, Megumi tries to pretend as if it had never happened. Things might’ve been salvaged, had Sukuna not made his own interest known. Wherein Sukuna knows a catch when he sees one, and Megumi and Itadori struggle to navigate their newly complicated dynamic.

Fandom: Jujutsu Kaisen Title: Fate Blooms Author: LostLoveLetters Pairing: Fushiguro Megumi/Itadori Yuuji, Itadori Yuuji/Sukuna, Fushiguro Megumi/Sukuna, Fushiguro Megumi/Itadori Yuuji/Sukuna Rating: Explicit Word Count: 150,717 Summary: “I hope you find yours someday, Yuji. It’s no good being alone.” If his grandpa only knew, then he would not have been so earnest in his wish for Yuji to find his soulmate. Well, soulmates. Because unlike most people, Yuji has two soulmarks. AKA in which Yuji can see soulmarks and has two soulmates; communication is a three-way crossroads no one finds; and fate and choice are two sides of the same coin.

Fandom: Jujutsu Kaisen Title: All Black Collection Author: athena_crikey Pairing: Gojo Satoru/Itadori Yuuji Rating: Explicit Word Count: 32,828 Summary: Gojou leans in close – too close, so close Yuuji thinks he’s coming in for a kiss and that would be weird but maybe also okay – and smiles. Then he reaches up and raises his glasses. His eyes are a colour Yuuji’s never seen before, like the blue sky shot through with diamonds, like stars in the daytime. “Oh,” says Yuuji, breath catching. Because he’s just found his muse. OR: Young fashion designer Itadori Yuuji is looking for the model who will make his career. Unfortunately, it happens to be a dumpster fire named Gojou Satoru.

Fandom: Jujutsu Kaisen Title: See Through Me Author: athena_crikey Pairing: Gojo Satoru/Itadori Yuuji Rating: Explicit Word Count: 81,374 Summary: At 13 when the tests show that Yuuji’s a Filament, he believes everything the Sorcerer in the old-fashioned clothes who smells of incense and mosquito coils tells him. That it’s an honour, a privilege. That his life will be dedicated to the greatest purpose possible: bringing light to one born into darkness. At 18, he’s perceptive enough to know that being a Filament isn’t an honour, it’s to be a paid captive. That the state will require him to serve as someone’s guide dog for the rest of his life whether he likes it or not, because he happens to have the rare gift of being able to share his sight. So when he has to choose the Prism he’ll serve, why not choose the highest bidder – a high-powered Tokyo lawyer named Gojou Satoru?

Fandom: Jujutsu Kaisen Title: A Fever You Can't Sweat Out Author: benicemurphy Pairing: Fushiguro Megumi/Gojo Satoru Rating: Explicit Word Count: 7,660 Summary: “Alright, everybody out,” a voice says, and after a few moments of shuffling feet and closing doors, the voice gets closer and lower. “Satoru,” the voice—Shoko—says, “you know what this is now, don’t you?” “It better not be,” Gojo growls. “But it is,” Shoko says. Megumi thinks he might hear pity in her voice. “And it looks like you’re the only one who can help him.”

Fandom: Jujutsu Kaisen Title: Four Eyes Author: athena_crikey Pairing: Fushiguro Megumi/Itadori Yuuji Rating: General Word Count: 3,649 Summary: One of these days, thinks Megumi. One of these days Itadori will realize Gojou is a walking disaster. One of these days he’ll start paying attention to the things around him. One of these days, he’ll realize Megumi has the world’s biggest crush on him. Not today though, apparently.
