LOPSIDED 

by caandlelit

Summary:

‘My glasses,’ James announces at breakfast, ‘are lopsided.’

‘Mm. Great,’ Sirius says blearily. ‘What’re the plans for next weekend.’

james is a nerd and a king and a jock and just really, very fucking over-imaginative. lily is always his lady.

[caandlelit]

Hello caandlelit…

I LOVE your mastuhana fics 😭😭🙏🙏💗

Thank you for your service

THANKYOUUU for being so sweet!! i hope i never stop.

[regheart]

coming here after finishing these two fics so good they got me giggling and kicking my feet feeling like it's the marauders fandom in 2017

lopsided by caandlelit really gave me the james that i wanted, beautiful detailed hilarious prose, clever and lively dialogue and a good jily get together

inflations, invitations and flirtations by mblematic has the style of wolfstar that i like and many characters from the order making entertaining appearences. the main concept for this is funny and well executed and the worldbuilding really makes it come to life

other than that towards nuclear winter by tobermoriansass has been a slow delightful read, i'm completely fascinated by the worldbuilding, the level of detail in this, the general tone of writing is outrageously good. also the plot feels so unusual and the exploration of minor characters is very compelling to me as a reader, i'm having the time of my life

[caandlelit]

i wld do anything for matsuhana. including making a google doc of fic recs

I’m back on my bullshit and once again asking for MatsuHana fanfic recommendations

Dabihawks Fanfic Recs

I was recently asked what my favorite dabihawks fic is, and I'm really terrible at picking favorites, so I scrolled through my bookmarks and picked out some of my all-time favorites. This list is certainly not comprehensive and also skips anything in the variety of <5k rated E (if you know what I mean ;) ) and also skips the fact that I generally go "I have this author in my bookmarks so if I want more of their work I can just go there" (stupid, short cited.) Anyway, preamble done, these are (a few) of my personal faves in order of when I opened the tab while scrolling through bookmarks.

(Part 2)

By Any Other Name by SatelliteBlue

200k, Ongoing, Series

Through some freak accident of the universe, Dabi has been invited to compete on The Bachelorette. Have they actually seen his face? Surprisingly yes, and they still want him. For this season they apparently need a ‘bad boy’ to both balance out the hero contestant (why in hell is Hawks involved?) and to trash talk the show in interviews to appeal to audiences who don’t like the scripting. Getting sent on a vacation away from his annoying bandmates to complain and eat as much free food as he wants? Sold.

This fic is still ongoing and long but so so worth it. It's hilarious. The story follows Dabi and Hawks on the show, but also ends each week on the show by switching to everyone watching the show back at home. The plot is so much more than the Bachelorette, too, but to explain how so would spoil some of the fun. Everyone is not only perfectly in character, but the conflicts are also just amazingly executed. I can't recommend this fic enough and I am soooo excited to see how it comes together. The twists have been incredible so far and I'm curious to see how it all comes together.

The bird and the bees by Vridelian (@vriddy)

1k, Completed

Hawks may be a garden-stealing gnomehead, but that doesn't mean Dabi will just let him get kidnapped, right under Dabi's nose. A rescue mission told in 100 words drabbles.

What it says on the tin--this fic is short and cute. Vri has a lot of amazing works, but this is the one I read when I'm sick or sleepy. It's like watching your favorite kid's movie when you're down. Also, she's probably going to laugh at me for picking this fic of all her fics to rec or kill me <3

steal your heart by darlingest (@darlingestwrites)

60k, Completed

When infamous thief Hawks announces that he is going to steal the heart of Endeavor's son, everyone expects him to prey on Shoto Todoroki - nobody suspects Touya to be the actual target.

This was one of those fics that even when I dropped off reading dabihawks for a few months, I still consumed every chapter like my life depended on it. They are a delightful mix of flirty and slightly unhealthy in the way good enemies to lovers should be. Also, the end of some of these chapters really left me sweating, and the fic is a nice length, too for long but not too long a read

we could be antiheroes by caandlelit (@caandlelit)

6k, Completed

‘Well. There was this study on intimacy,’ he begins, and Dabi interrupts him, ‘I’m gonna call security if you don’t shut up with that gay shit.’

or; exes sit in a jail cell and tackle 36 questions in order to stop the war

This fic is both hilarious and thoughtful, a favorite mix of mine. Short and excellently paced, I think about this one a good deal.

There and Back Again - A Villain's Tale by Todoroki Touya by RavenHawk

187k, Completed

Quirk History was a mandatory subject in every junior, middle and high school in the world, and Todoroki Touya didn't sleep through his whole education - he'll have you know he almost finished it, too. So he shouldn't be quite so dumbfounded by the news, if, say, he was so fucking stupid as to let the Number 2 Pro Hero in Japan hit it raw in an alleyway in Hiroshima. Really, he should be mature and take responsibility for his own mistakes. Alternatively, he's going to roast a pigeon and feed it to the Hero Commission. And then, have a completely new kind of mental breakdown because he's not ready to be a single parent.

I don't really read mpreg, but man I read RavenHawk's work. They are a phenomenal writer and so so prolific, I could recommend everything they've written. This fic is a beautiful love story and a really wonderful arc for Touya <3

Bamboo arrows and mourning hearts by TheyCallMeBol (@theycallmebol)

5k, Completed

Guard Captain Keigo has been visiting First Prince Touya's grave every single night for almost 7 years now. And no hooded sad excuse of a grave robber is going to stop him now. Or: a not slowburn at all of Guard Captain Keigo and the creepy but oddly charming grave-robber.

Short and beautiful, this fantasy AU is just what the heart needs. Not sure what to say about it other than that you could read it in half an hour, so you should just read it now.

my heart goes vroom vroom boom by crimsonseekers (@crimsonseekers)

5k, Completed, Series

“Right!” Hawks said, perking up. “I gotta be a good brother-in-law, I need to become the favorite Todoroki.” “Well, focus on the end of the season, then you can focus on overtaking my spot as the clear and unsurpassable favorite.” Hawks clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes, slouching back in his chair. He opened his mouth to respond just as the waiter came over. “The season’s basically over anyway. ‘S like you said, it’s not as if there’s a big chance of some massive upheaval this late, y’know?��

or, Dabi and Hawks are Formula One drivers. Crashes aren't anything too out of the usual in their profession, nothing too life-threatening, except when they suddenly are.

This is beat for beat an adaptation of a real event, so I suggest reading the fic, adoring it, and then looking up the video + the driver's interview about it afterward. Crim did an a m a z i n g adaptation of what he went through, and it makes for a perfect oneshot.

This feels like a nice number of fics, but I have another seven open in my other tabs still, so I will stop here and make a second post. Let me know if this is something people would want more of from me! Remember to leaves kudos + comments if you read these <3

3, 19 and 21 for the ask meme!!

Hi anon, thank you for asking!

Absolute shout-out to the Keats scene from ‘in the morning when i wake’, as well as the Oresteia scene I discussed here, but as I was rereading ‘if it’s a crime’ to write Chapter 2, I quite liked this paragraph:

Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw his tall, broad-shouldered frame and the perpetual glorious chaos of his hair passing by the window. Something rose up between her ribs and expanded out into her chest, a flower whose seed had long laid dormant, planted under summer skies and watered by a smile that had once made her blood boil and then made it burn and—

Well I have my ghost!James story that I’m very excited about and now that @sunshine-lover has absolutely saturated my mind in Josh/Donna Realness, there is definitely a West Wing au percolating quite merrily.

21.

Having @theesteemedladydebourgh do a blow-by-blow read through of ‘too far away’ was really special, as was the love and support and mystery solving of @marhoeders, @thegobletofweasleys and all the people in the thread. Seriously girlies, that meant so much and really made the writing process of Ch 2 unlike any other.

I also have to mention @caandlelit, who leaves me jaw-dropped and humbled with every review—thank you so much again xxxxx

[shzketches]

[hargrieve]

hargrieve’s fics recs — april

this is a few days late, because I got caught up in real life! IN PERSON!! what a privilege!!! I read a little less fic in april too for the same reason, but I still recommend the following titles with my whole chest. I am a rarepair enthusiast, but there’s a sakuatsu and another sunaosa fic down below. happy reading :)))

FANDOMS: HAIKYUU!!

gorgeous short(ish) one-shots:

no more keeping score, now i just keep you warm by comfortcharacters @/comfrtcharacter on twitter

atsumu/hinata, past kagehina; rated T+; 3k words; 1/1

hinata and his relationships with his two setters, pre- and post-timeskip

I loved this story because it featured romantic atsuhina without diminishing the valid and important relationship between hinata and kageyama

unwalked by limeprint @/kuroy4ku on twitter

konoha/washio; rated Gen, 1.3k words; 1/1

konoha akinori introspection, between high school and timeskip

they/them konoha [feral yelling] also lots of cameos from the other teams

konoha thinking about volleyball, goals, sticking to things, and washio

heartwrenching writing; I love this author

Foresight by sifuhotman @/ginjimahitoshi on twitter

akagi/ginjima; rated T+; 15k words; 1/1

established akagin, part of subtle inarizaki things college au series

akagi is about to graduate and doesn’t know what he’s doing with his life. (this is ship-focused and not that short, but I’m categorizing it here bc a significant portion of it was focused solely on akagi’s struggles)

this hit HOME for me because I, like akagi, am about to graduate university and I do NOT know what I am doing with my life somebody help me

seriously if you are about to graduate or are at a similar transition stage in your life, even if you do not care/know akagin, I highly recommend this fic because I think it helped me a lot to process the changes in my own life

longer ship-focused fic:

kiss me more by yuzubalm @/yuzubalm on twitter

sunaosa; rated M; 15k words; 1/1

suna and osamu timeskip friends with benefits AND feelings, but of course they don’t talk about their feelings

author’s descriptions are SO INCREDIBLY TENDER they really k-worded me

very much recommend this if you are feeling pandemic loneliness and want to project into ~love~

running from lions by caandlelit @/caandlelit on twitter

konoha/sarukui; rated T+; 8k words; 1/1

sarukui is head over heels in love with konoha. he’s trying to say something, he really is

author does both sarukui and konoha justice. sarukui is Down Bad, but author maintains his sense of humor and, in a meta sense, the fact that he is a side character in haikyuu. a sweet high school get-together about a compelling little dude whom I love

I think this is my favorite fic from this list

clown fic:

Flushed by suzzzan @/tossysauce on twitter

akagi/ginjima; rated T+; 2.6k words; 1/1

here’s the summary: “So. Gin’s abs were going to ruin Akagi’s life. // Fuck.”

and here are two of the tags: “akagi has a gay crisis” and “gin has a hot bod”

take from those what you will

i laughed out loud like five times. A+ clowning of inarizaki volleyball club, esp akagi and atsumu

WHAT IN CARNATION by precious_red @/actuallyatsumu on twitter

sakuatsu; rated M; 11k words; 1/1

hanahaki/flower disease au, but make it clown. atsumu catches feelings and hanahaki disease for his fwb sakusa but refuses to say anything. 10+ thousand words of atsumu trying to sort it out like a dumbass

this is the first line: “Atsumu starts coughing up flowers while Kiyoomi’s dick is down his throat.”

CLOWN O’CLOCK atsumu how can you be so stupid

lots of puns and bad jokes. I laughed a lot reading this

recs I received in my inbox: (I have not personally read all of these)

Fidelity series by 5yenwish (iamacamera)

tsukkiyama; rated E and T; 15k words; 2 out of 2 in series

summary: “In their twenties, after years together, Tsukishima and Yamaguchi's personalities begin to clash.”

guiding stars by daedalust

hirugami/hoshiumi; rated T+; 102k words; 19/19

same author as the hiruhoshi fic I put on the list last month!

tsukkiyama; rated T+; 389k words; 110/150

from the recommender: “It’s a tsukkiyama fic that’s still ongoing (consistent updates, not abandoned) and it’s my personal favourite Haikyuu fic.

tag by rasmirato @triforce-of-weird​

tsukkiyama; rated M; 25k words; 7/?

from the recommender: “I love not-so-secret mutual pining for this pair, so the fic basically details the ways their relationship evolves, sparked by some flirtatious late night texting heh”

-

after last month’s post, it appears that there are, in fact, a few people who look at these recs! (tagging @ravenclawboys​ here <3) please feel free to send recommendations :)
