#hq rarepair au week

[notallrobots]

HI. i just threw this drawing together to see if anyone wants to send me inside out oneshot requests! They’ll probably be around 1,000 - 3,000 words in length and take some time maybe a week idk LOL. I’ll probably compile them on Ao3. ^_^

Feel free to send anonymous requests to my askbox or dm me! Send me rarepairs or AUs too (for AUs i’d appreciate some background info / fanart to go off of). The one shots might take awhile to write since I’m kinda busy but I wanted to hone my writing in my downtime. PLSSSZZZZZ SEND SOMETHING AHHAHGHHA.

All characters and MAYBE some original characters but mostly looking to write the HQ employees <3 I LOVEEE writing Fear (as you may have ascertained), Joy, Disgust, Ennui, (and i might like to write Shame if anyone’s interested), but I’ll certainly consider the other characters :3

Requests involving toki’s and my siren / mermaid / Epiphany Bay AU would be SO AWESHOMMEE eheheheheh.

Give me as much detail or as little as you’d like!

If you request something, pls be willing to give feedback on the work (ESPECIALLY CON CRIT!! i love con crit), even if it’s just “yay thank you!” 🥺

Baewatch

When surfer Nishinoya Yuu sees hot new lifeguard Tanaka Ryuunosuke for the first time, he realizes he and his friends Daichi and Yachi all have crushes on lifeguards. So he makes a competition to see who can seduce their lifeguard first. What could go wrong?

HQ Rarepair AU Week, Day Seven: Free | @hqrarepair2021​

"Did you guys see that new lifeguard?" Noya hisses once they're past the tower.

"Oh, yeah, Asahi said he's Saeko's little brother," Daichi replies, adjusting his grip on his longboard. "Just started this week."

"Who knew Saeko had a little brother?" Noya asks. "And why is he so fucking hot?"

SakuAtsu fics I recommend

Some of the have ships I don't even ship and there is stuff like Homophobia, suicide, self harm. Only AO3 and WATTPAD.

SakuAtsu, have I already done one? Wait no, I haven't I have just been SakuAtsu Brainrot recently while looking for SunaKomo. Might do a UshiTen part 2 if I can't find more good SunaKomo fics.

1

Name/Title: ...Of Scales and Sunlit Waters

Author: haretsu

Platform: AO3 -https://archiveofourown.org/works/30425160/chapters/75013914

Content warnings: Explicit, Graphic Depictions Of Violence. Explicit Sexual Content

Other information: complete, OsaSuna it's not big but it's there.

MerPeople AU, I loved reading this. The approach to fixing a language barrier is something I haven't seen in a lot of fics. It is quite refreshing.

I like Tendou in this fic, he is very, himself.

I think I might draw The mers in this fic later.

2

Name/Title: It's Okay Even When It Hurts

Author: BerryGreen

Platform: AO3 - https://archiveofourown.org/works/30916664/chapters/76345517

Content Warning: Mature, Angst, unrequited love.

Other Information: Omegaverse, complete,

Fuck the SakuAtsu story here is so good and sad I cried heaps. Damn BG is an amazing writer. There is a second story maining in it. SemiShira, I wouldn't skip that if I was you. You would miss out on some of the SakuAtsu Story and they are both kind connected. SemiShira story is pretty great too.

3

Name/Title: Courting A Land Dweller

Author: On_kamis_green_earth

Platform: AO3 - https://archiveofourown.org/works/31182236/chapters/77065055

Content Warning: Muture, BJs, mating, heat cycles and fish fucking, Fluff and Angst, Hurt/Comfort.

Other Information: Omegaverse, MerPeople AU, no language barrier. I actually really liked the OsaSuna in this fic, despite it being my Ship-in-law to OasKita.

Poor Bokuaka IT HURT MY HEART, YachiHina it aight and KomoAone is nice to see a really Rare RarePair.

4

Name/Title: The Nuances of Playing in 12/8 Time

Author: FreyaMarkusson

Platform: AO3 - https://archiveofourown.org/chapters/81054307?show_comments=true&view_full_work=false#comments

Content Warning: No warings, just Slowburn.

Other Information: Not complete, Soulmate AU, College AU, Inzarizaki Boys in a band. OsaSuna lowkey kinda cute in this fic. Ginjima is sleep deprived.

I was looking for SunaKomo fics when I came across this, and I really like how it didn't just straight put SunaKomo together, setting up the main 'Problem' of this story as the getting together of SakuAtsu.

The approach to soul bonds is something I haven't seen before and I really like that it's not just one type of soul bond, even between the twins.

I love how sassy Akaashi is in this too.

***

Not that you care, But this past HQ x DISNEY week, I drew almost all the kids from BerryGreen's It's Okay series, in what I thought they would look like.

I am working on another Ushiten Fic Rec and well if there is a a ship you wanna see me make a rec list for just... I don't know... Let me know. And I will do anyship and I mean anyship Homos and Heteros accepted all around.

[badatjokezz]

Haikyuu!! Rare Pair Fic Recs

i’ve been so hype about some Hq rarepairs lately now imma list some of my fav fanfics, mostly OiSuga mwehehe.... 

(probably gonna add some more in the future)

Oisuga (Oikawa x Sugawara)

1. Stuck in the Middle With You by overlymetaromantic

It's not the kind of blossoming relationship either of them would expect, but maybe, just maybe, it could lead to something good.

1. In which Suga and Oikawa run into each other on a late night convenience store run.

2. In which Suga and Oikawa inadvertently switch bags and end up with the other’s uniform.

3. In which Suga gives Oikawa the lecture he doesn't want but probably needs, and Oikawa might accidentally be a little in love.

4. In which Oikawa won't shut up about Suga, and Iwaizumi plays matchmaker just to make him stop.

5. In which there is not a date, and Suga likes spicy things much more than sweet.

6. In which Karasuno and Aobajousai hold training camps in the same neck of the woods, and the trip back proves to be more revealing than it probably should.

7. In which there might just be a future to this after all.

(Dis is so fluffy i might die)

2. moving on (growing up) by _helios (neocitz)

‘I’ll do it,’ Suga says, walking into their prep school and dropping his bag on the floor next to Oikawa. He shoves the melon bun and drink forward into Oikawa’s hands, and stands there looking down at him because he knows that he needs to not chicken out.

‘You’ll do what?’ Oikawa looks up through his glasses, eyes wide and confused as the other students stream in around them.

‘The fake dating thing, I’ll do it.’

‘Fuck. Yes.’ Oikawa says with a fist pump.

(It’s been AGES since i read Fake/Pretend Relationship fic, this one is goood)

3. how strange, to be remembered by venusintwelfthFandoms

"He is not formed of the type of dust that makes up stars. Suga is not the type of person that stays in the mind of one like Oikawa Tooru, ten years later. He is formed of the type of dust you shake off, the type that settles into the ground."

Ten years after Suga last steps off a high-school court, Oikawa recollects a "Mr. Refreshing" in a post-game interview, and Suga is left scrambling.

(Cute one-shot, Oikawa still remember Mr. Refreshing from Karasuno)

4. all the small things by Authoress for lemedy

Sugawara Koushi.

Oikawa’s brain supplies the name of the person standing at the other end of the aisle before Oikawa can even register him, attuned to spitting out facts about other volleyball players on a second’s notice, even after all these years. Karasuno High vice-captain. 174 cm…no, more like 176 now. Skilled at raising morale and bringing an element of surprise to their strategy. Troublesome. Refreshing. Setter.

The enemy.

(Single Dad! Oikawa, cuuutee ugh)

5. Win Some by kingdra (aroceu) for Icie

Tooru does not have a problem, its name is certainly not Sugawara Koushi, and he is not going to the Karasuno practices just to watch him. Regardless of whatever Iwa-chan says.

(High school romane~)

6. Even as bright as you are? by BKAKCANON

That night when he goes to sleep, he includes "the safety of fairies" on his prayers, making a promise to whoever was listening him, that he'd protect all the fairies and keep their secret safe forever.

[Where Oikawa meets Suga when they are kids and Oikawa believes Suga is secretly a fairy and decides he has to protect his secret all costs.]

(This is basically matches my headcanon)

7. getting to know you by oisugasuga

Suga feels like he’s back on the court then, his heart thudding hard in his ears… so hard he almost misses what Oikawa says. Unfortunately, though, he doesn’t.

"My, my. What a surprise," Oikawa Tooru says. And then… "Hello, Mr. Refreshing."

(Haven’t finished yet but DAMN I LOVE OIKAWA AND SUGA IN HERE, single dad! oikawa, and Suga babysitting oikawa’s kid, def slow burn. Imma follow this fic till death)

8. Dear Reader by hyirule

No one seems to read the paper anymore. But Oikawa likes to for the sports section. One day he finds himself reading a section called "Dear Reader" and finds a submission he can relate to.

Basically messages sent through a page on a newspaper brings to unlikely souls together, who maybe have more in common than they first thought.

(Cannon compliant, simple and... refreshing(?))

9. rest by shicchaan

Tooru looks at the sleeping person beside him as he waits for the lights change into green. The growing fringe of his husband started to cover his eyes but he can still see the beautiful birthmark under the silver haired's left eye.

(Established relationship, fluff fluff!!!)

10. long is the road (that leads me home) by ichweissnichtauch

He thinks about himself, deleting contacts from his phone and throwing coffee cups away without even looking at the string of numbers scrawled in Sharpie ink underneath, and he’s tired of hiding, tired of carefully treading the lines he’d drawn for himself all those years ago.

Just this once, Tooru wants— he thinks he wants to be brave.

Oikawa Tooru is not a stranger to wanting.

(like... 20% Oisuga but i like the way this story follows the Cannon till he get to Argentina)

11. It's Always Been About You by mintycarrots

Every time Tooru had envisioned meeting his soulmate, it was a confession of love, filled with tears of happiness and a lot of making out. It would be a faceless petite girl that would support Tooru in whatever he chose to pursue and would understand when Tooru prioritized volleyball over all else.

It was never a boy on the rival team.

(Soulmate AU)

12. a play in three acts by venusintwelfth

"The first time Sugawara Koushi sees Oikawa Tooru play, he thinks that if he wasn’t so set on volleyball, he’d do well in theater."

the first seijoh x karasuno match through the eyes of suga.

(Kinda poetic i guess, well written af)

13. colors by dazeful

Sugawara Koushi's colorful life as an archer.

(this is like the perfect oisuga one shot ive ever read)

___

IwaSuga (Iwaizumi x Sugawara)

1. And so the moon cried by iwriteinpenFandoms:

The hillocks are the domain of unearthly creatures. Creatures of rot and fog, of music and dance. Like ghosts in the night they travel without leaving footprints, they disappear in a flurry of long dresses and pale hair. Those who are fated to see them risk curses far worse than death. You may hear them, a giggle in the wind. You may smell them, the smell of the fog rolling in through the trees. You should pray you never see them. Iwaizumi Hajime is a simple man. He works a simple farm job and enjoys simple things. After one morning where he woke next to a perfect circle of death and only the memory of brown eyes and cold hands, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the forest. Will the tales of his childhood play out with him at the center or will he have to disregard all reason?

(Danish Folklore AU)

2. Cry Just A Little by DreadfulMind

Suga was whistling a tune to himself as he opened the door to the bathroom, so he didn't hear the muffled crying through the door. But he could hear it clearly once he was inside. He heard the sharp sob of someone trying to stop.

"Iwaizumi?" He asked, "are you sure you're alright?"

(Simple but c u t e)

3. Generations by Karasuno Volleygays (ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor), mozaikmage

Professional sports blogger Sugawara Koushi writes an article about a volleyball match that bears special meaning to him and his former kouhai: a showdown between Kitagawa Daiichi and Yukigaoka Middle School, ten years after the teams faced off for the first time. He doesn't plan on capturing the attention of the world of sports journalism, and he certainly doesn't expect himself to end up having a thing for one of the coaches involved, one Iwaizumi Hajime.

(Time-Skip, I loved it)

___

KuroTsuki (Kuroo x Tsukishima)

1. Invictus by Chiru

Kuroo T. » So let me get this straight (gay?) Kuroo T. » You want me to pretend to be your perfect and fabulous boyfriend, so that your little freckled friend will stop trying to set you up with cute little highschool girls? Tsukishima Kei » yes Kuroo T. » Aha. Tsukishima Kei » you'll do it? Kuroo T. » I don't know. I missed the part where I get something out of it. Tsukishima Kei » you get to annoy me. Unfortunately Kuroo T. » Tempting, Tsukki, very tempting indeed.

(Fake/Pretend Relationship, some fluff, some angst, i read this in the middle of the night and cried, fortunately happy ending)

2. hold onto hope if you got it by nekolyssi

"Now, in the beginning of their third year of high school, the obnoxious hollering and incessant spirit of his teammates became normalcy to Kei. And now, normalcy is this. Weekly psych meetings. Pharmacy waiting rooms. Prescriptions. Refusal of prescriptions. More prescriptions."

(Not finished yet but yep prolly gonna put this one to one of those best haikyuu fics ive ever read. I wasnt so interested at first but i really like the idea of mental ilness etc, this is g o o d!!)

3. [KuroTsuki Fest Week 2017] Traces by Heartythrills 

Kuroo’s disappeared for a little over a week now, and suddenly a 4 year old who looks like him appears before Tsukishima’s apartment.

(Age regression, fluff)

4. I swear by xArtemisx

Like the shadow that's by your side I'll be there

"What are you doing here, Tetsu? It's cold." Kei asked softly. Tetsurou smiled. Hearing his name came out of Kei's lips is always music to his ears.

"Nothing. I just came to think that whatever memory we make, may it be happy or sad memories, the bright moon and the starry night sky is always there to be the witness. Did you notice?" The alpha answered and Kei nodded. He also noticed it.

"Yes, I did noticed it."

(I love agony and sad ending....)

5. Honeybee by ClosetGoblin

Tsukishima has trouble sleeping one night during a Third Gym Camping Trip. So, he takes his acoustic guitar and passes the time with some music, and gets a visitor. Maybe he doesn't mind Kuroo's voice as he does the screeching that Lev and Hinata call singing.

(Simple but sweet)

6. Say You Like Me by the_madame21

It's been three months. And Tsukishima Kei is going to see Kuroo Tetsurou.

(light angst and.. s m u t. Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamic)

7. trying to get to you by mytsukkishine

Everything came crashing down on Kuroo when Kei had left him alone with nothing but the moon shining down on him.

Wherein, Kuroo was struggling to move on and decided that he wouldn't mind being with Kei again.

(sad beginning? yes. sad ending? y e s. you’re a masochist? come get your juice)

8. Please Hold by ThemooncatFandoms

Kei was expecting Kuroo to do one of two things; Send a text to the office saying that they will have to call back another time and continue what they started, or excuse himself from Kei to answer the call, which was most likely. He shouldn’t have been surprised when Kuroo does neither of those things.

(short but hot. what’s hotter than quiet sex?)

___

Ushijima x Oikawa

1. This Insignificant Pride and Prejudice by Mysecretfanmoments, Pouler (poulerslashes)

Oikawa Tooru graduated high school with the burning desire to succeed in his college career. He'd hoped that might include taking down his arch-nemesis along the way, but when he finds that his college team hosts an offensively familiar face, he can't help but think that the universe might be conspiring against him. After all, what could be worse than playing on the same team as Ushijima?

(It was funny for me reading oikawa/ushijima fic with that “you should’ve come to Shiratorizawa” joke at first but somehow i found this one... endearing :3, cute poor ushiwaka)

___

Atsumu x Nishinoya

1. All the things I love about Yuu by KilluCoulomb

Atsumu Miya is fixated in Nishinoya. The way the boy acts, talks, plays. He Carefully observes from afar, but he slowly warms up to the Libero. Friendship becomes more and more intimate. Atsumu realizes Nishinoya is not that simple guy he met three years ago. And he loves it.

(pro volleyball players AU)

2. i'll see you then by noyabeans (snowdrops)

Nishinoya Yuu and Miya Atsumu build a rivalry and something more.

“Oh, it's Karasuno’s libero,” he says, mildly surprised to see Nishinoya’s face staring back at him from the brochure, grinning wide with his arms folded over his chest.

Contains spoilers for the current manga arc, up to chapter 380.

[billdenbrough]

wendy called me out for the fact that i haven’t posted in like. i don’t want to say. it’s embarrassing. many many days.

so i wanted to say that i am ok!! it’s been a rly weird year, maybe even more than last year (i think… i think bc Everyone had a really bad last year, and this year i’ve felt a little further behind bc a lot of people are managing to keep moving a little better), but like. i’m safe! worse position financially and mentally but i’m no physically worse than ever (i’m still sick constantly LMAO throwback to making this blog bc of being stuck home w bronchitis after watching chapter two but like. endo & bad immune system is pretty minor compared to many) and i did a stressful job app like two days ago! i’ve written 260k on ao3 since last january apparently. i read all of hq manga last year in lockdown and i’ve read all of bnha this year. i still haven’t finished a new book this entire year, but i’ve read hundreds of thousands of words of fic. cut and dyed my hair several times since i was last here. written for several zines & helping mod two (one is actually in preorder stage which is !! exciting as hell).

my laptop keyboard gave up on me end of may, and i’ve been taking writing comms to help cover the cost for repair. my cousin’s kids don’t live with me anymore but they’re still around a bunch and the 2yo-turned-3yo over the course of this blog is now four years old and runs at me for a lift-hug and comes into my room and solemnly tells me to clean it. i send poems that i loved in high school to friends who have never seen them before and watch them go Oh. idk the last time i woke up at a normal hour lmao. i spent two weeks flat not replying to any messages or being anywhere or doing anything except being awake and lying in bed bc my head was so foggy. but, like, i’ve watched movies. my sister and i watched all the marvel shows! my cat keeps trying to hunt mice near the hedge by my room. i still say paper scissors rock the way that made my inbox explode that morning over a year ago. i have way too much washi tape in this little woven fabric box on my floor. i miss all my friends, i’m just bad at talking. i still think golf is ridiculous. i haven’t shaved my legs in months, which is gross, but also i don’t care that much. i still pay too much attention when rugby comes on and made an entire discord server for a haikyuu rarepair listen to me dream up a sportswap au where they were a rugby team. i’ve been putting off dming someone on twt (who expressed interest in me dming! literally the invitation is right there!) for like 12 hours

idk what the point of this is lol i guess just. i’m doing p much the same as ever, just a little older, and i still think too much about fictional characters and i miss my friends

also tumblr thinking about a paywall is so ridiculous lmao. how would cole sprouse do a follow up to his social experiment if it was blocked by money. absurd

[greycappedjester]

Are there any other story plot bunnies for the Haikyuu world after you finish all 7 HP! Au books?

Thanks for the ask! I love this one!

So, I don’t know about after I finish all seven Hq at Hogwarts books, but here’s various Hq fics I have tentatively planned for when I have more time. To note, I have no idea when or if some of these will be posted so please don’t hold me to this, but if you’re curious:

1.) Atsuhina accidental/secret marriage canon divergence AU. Basic premise: Hinata and Atsumu get drunk and accidentally married the day before Hinata leaves for Brazil (for the first time). They decide to not tell anyone and work on getting a divorce. The divorce they never really get around to; the not telling anyone works surprisingly well. {This is a short story that I’m really excited about since I don’t often write in the canon universe or write straight out romances. I’m most likely going to post reasonably soon (like Spring soon, not soon like next week). I’ve already got it somewhat planned and a chapter outline started so now it’s more just knowing when I’ll have more time. }

2.) Hq/Scooby Doo AU! sequel: The gang finally gets to go camping. Too bad about the witch....{I’d honestly be surprised if I didn’t start on this one sometime in the next six months, but no promises until I know more about my schedule.}

3.) Medieval-ish Ghost Kagehina AU: This one I can’t say much about without giving things away. It’s a one shot, I’ve been working on it for actual years at this point and ONE DAY I’ll post it....

4.) Retold Fairytale Rarepair fic that I’m currently trying to figure out a plot hole and more structural details on.

Next projects I’m planning in the Cards AU once I finish Shuffling the Deck:

1.) A darker short story focusing on Oikawa and Iwaizumi separately about what happened during the Hearts Civil War.

2.) 5 Missions that Tsukishima and Hinata Kept Secret: a mix of humorous kind of secrets and oh-fuck-no-one-can-ever-know kind of secrets with five mini-case fics.

Essentially, once I finish Shuffling the Deck, I think I’m going to focus mainly on my two long multichapter series (Hq at Hogwarts and After the Fall of Olympus) while doing some shorter stories. Tell me if ya’ll are excited about any of these and I’ll try to give you more details/ know what I should work on next, lol.

Kenma's grown up thinking the split end of the red string on his pinky means he's not going to have a soulmate, which is fine because he thinks the soulmate thing is bullshit anyway. So imagine his surprise when he shows up to volleyball practice and gets tied to not one but two people and is suddenly forced to navigate something he never thought he'd have.

HQ Rarepair Week 2020 - Day 4: Victory/Castle/Magic!AU --> OiAkaSuga

Era così preso nella corsa, o meglio dire nella fuga dall'Erumpent, che nemmeno si accorse del momento in cui superò la linea del traguardo, uscendo dall'incanto e ritrovandosi fuori nell'area in cui tutto il pubblico attendeva l'esito della prova finale del Torneo Tremaghi. Oikawa Tooru atterrò di faccia nell'erba del prato del castello, ma per una volta non pensò a cosa avrebbe potuto infilarsi sotto i vestiti, o alla terra sul suo viso perfetto. Per una volta era solo felice di essere vivo, di essere uscito da quell'incubo, quando a metà della prova aveva pensato che non lo sarebbe stato affatto.

9. Work I’m most proud of (and why):

on our way to twenty-seven! i was digging into some identity and sexuality issues that i myself have dealt with in the past and writing about it was the first time i’d really dove into some of that stuff, so i really enjoyed writing it and i think it’s some of my best.

i’m also really proud of i’m taking back the crown and i wish i could say why. i just really like the way it came out. writing oikawa as this desperate dethroned prince trying to reclaim his kingdom at any cost only to be beaten at his own game in his own home was just...ugh. it was so much fun to write.

10. Work I’m least proud of (and why):

one more time as if we planned it, definitely. i just felt super rushed writing it. it was for the one direction rarepair fest, which was super fun, but i had Just finished a longer fic a few days before this one was due and i initially tried to drop out because i thought i wouldn’t be able to finish it, but i did, but i still feel like it’s rushed and just not as good as it could have been if i’d planned better and given it some more time.

11. A favorite excerpt of your writing:

im gonna do what i did last year and post more than one, because 1. i can’t decide and 2. i quite honestly am pretty proud of a lot of what i wrote this year

from when the letter says a soldier’s coming home —

Tooru’s squealing somewhere behind them, and Hajime’s gruffly trying to get out the door, and he’ll have to call the school and make up something about being sick so he can spend the day catching up with Daichi, but it can wait. It can all wait. Because Koushi’s waited long enough. It’s about time the rest of the world waits for him.

from strawberries on a summer evening —

Suga hums against him, licking strawberry seeds from between Daichi’s teeth, like he’s just as intoxicated by Daichi as Daichi is with him. Daichi could live here, in this feeling, ignoring everything except how Suga sounds (like bliss personified), smells (like sunblock and sweat), tastes (like sugar and salt). He’s the hottest part of the summer, high noon in mid-August, just this side of too much to handle, but addicting in how it leaves you at its mercy.

from on our way to twenty-seven —

“Sorry, what was your name again?”

Tetsurou opens his mouth to say his American name, but he catches Daichi and Suga looking at him, and he swallows it down. “My name is Tetsurou. Tetsurou Kuroo.”

“I thought you wanted people to call you Tyler,” Timothy says.

Tetsurou shoots him a glare and says it again, feeling his confidence start to grow. “My name is Tetsurou Kuroo. Tetsu is fine, too, but I don’t go by Tyler anymore.”

12. Share or describe a favorite review you received:

any time tasteofsummersnow left me a comment, it made my heart go doki doki!! her comments are so in depth and so very sweet and it’s so much fun to see her real-time reactions to my writing. i go back and reread them like once a week they’re so nice ;_;

13. A time when writing was really, really hard:

the spring/early summer in general was tough, like from march to june. i didn’t post anything between february and may, and i feel like i was struggling a lot creatively around like may/june of this year. i think it’s because a lot of stuff in the 1d fandom was really turning me off at the time and that’s when the burnout fully hit.

14. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you:

definitely sugawara in the city is at war. i was writing that first chapter and initially i just wanted to see him step up when daichi wasn’t around but he very quickly turned sadistic and ruthless and scarily sharp, which is just so much fun to write him as. and his relationship with daichi is just—ugh. love that violence-fueled romance. they would kill a hundred men for each other and be turned on once they were finished.

honestly, all of the city is at war has surprised me. the idea came to me in a dream on a long bus ride, of all the clan leaders having a meeting and being attacked, and i woke up and banged it out in 36 hours. i meant it to be a oneshot but as i wrote it, i realized i loved the au so much there was no way i could leave it at that. so now it’s got a whole plot and all that. fun!

15. How did you grow as a writer this year:

last year i said i felt i grew writing angst and exploring different emotional themes, and i think i built on that even more this year. i did a bunch of shorter pieces this year and i feel a lot of them really explored emotions and characters more than plot, and that’s been so much fun. and then as well, like i said before, i’ve branched out into the crime-action genre with the yakuza au. and! iwaoi horror week was my first real attempt at spooky/creepy/horror-type writing, and, it was a fun challenge for sure.

i also said i wanted to just keep writing and be spontaneous and i definitely did that this year. i posted so many fics not caring how long it had been since the last one—sometimes it was less a day. numbers stopped mattering to me. i posted just because i wanted to put my writing out there and share it with the world, knowing there had to be someone out there who’d like it.

16. How do you hope to grow next year:

i feel like 2019 was a year of trying a lot of new things, so in 2020 i’m hoping to explore some different ships and tropes. the sheer number of characters and ships in haikyuu means there’s a ship for just about every trope and au out there, and i want to play around with some dynamics i’ve never written before.

17. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc):

as always, a shoutout to the loggies, who have been a fantastic source of inspiration and support all year even after i retired from 1d fic. and i would also like to thank the people i met via various hq discord servers—you know who you are!! thank you for the sprints, the encouragement, the inspiration, and the friendship. as someone brand new to the fandom, the support and sense of community has been nothing short of amazing, and you guys are part of the reason i felt so comfortable in this fandom so quickly.

18. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year:

actually, yeah. even mountains crumble into the sea was written the night before i broke up with my ex. i wrote it as an exercise to get all my feelings out, lay them all on the table where i could see them and pick through them, and then imagine the best possible way the scenario could go.

19. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers:

honestly—just write! write what you’re happy with. write even if you don’t post it. write, because everything you do is practice that’ll help you improve.

and don’t be afraid to write out of order or write more than one project at a time. i know that won’t work for everyone, but for me, if i didn’t immediately write what was on my mind, i probably wouldn’t have posted half of what i did this year.

20. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year:

hey remember last year when i said i was gonna finish the breath of the wild au?? L M A O i’m really gonna finish it next year i swear!!

i have a fic posting in the spring for the nsfw big bang which i’m ALSO very excited about! i’m lucky to be working with such a talented artist and the end result is gonna be amazing and i’m so so excited.

i also want to keep going with the city is at war, because that plot was a pleasant surprise. and there’s an ever-growing list of fic ideas and aus that i’m so excited to write—some of them were originally for larry aus but i’ve repurposed them for haikyuu pairings and that’s helped breathe new life into some old ideas.

The words jumbled into incoherent, boring messes of Class is boring, boyfriend is home and wants attention. He looked up at Kuroo and found him leaning his chin into his hand, bent over the counter with his oh god talk about bedroom eyes. The scale that weighed the pros and cons tipped in Kuroo’s favor.

“Okay.” Hinata leapt down from his perch, leaving his laptop open and scampering off with the outfit in hand. They shared a bedroom, so it was inevitable that to their bedroom they would be returning once Hinata put this on. Unless Kuroo was feeling really feisty. He got like that sometimes. It made Hinata’s back tingle in anticipation.

He carefully took the outfit off its hanger and looked through all the parts included.

“Okay.” His confidence faded into excitement with ease. “Okay.”

Who even knew Kuroo was into crossdressing?

🌻What is your total word count on AO3?

205,072 apparently.

🌻How often do you write?

Not often as I’d like, that’s for sure. It’s highly varied, because I mostly write when I really feel like it. When I’m really inspired or really pressured. And even if there are scenes that I’m replaying in my head, I don’t actually, you know, sit down and write it. Unless I really, really have to. 

🌻What are your favorite kinks/tropes/pairing?

Hmmm, for kinks, I’d like to think that I’m pretty vanilla, but I have a thing for role play, sensory deprivation (especially blindfolding), soft bondage, and sometimes, a tastefully done D/s.

As for tropes, I’m pretty basic. My favorites in no particular order are Domestic, College/University, Bodyguard/Royalty, Fake/Pretend Relationship that comes with Mutual Pining, Slow Burn, some bed sharing in there as well, and generally doing couple stuff but thinking that their love is unrequited; Reincarnation, Friends to Lovers, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Rivals to Lovers, Coffee Shop AU. Yeah. Basic. 

Now for pairings, it’s no secret that I OTP KuroDai so hard, so yeah, KuroDai. UshiMoni comes next (please I need more people to ship this with, hear my plea) and one that came in like a wrecking ball, TsukkiKage. I also enjoy occasional KenHina, TsukkiHina, OiSuga, TsukkiYama, IwaDai, EnnoFuta. Those are the HQ ones. There are more from other series, but yeah. 

🌻Do you have a favorite fic of yours?

 Do I have a favorite fic of mine? Tough... although I’d have to say it’s Initially Yours, which is my KuroDai soulmate AU. 

And I’m very oddly proud of Ushijima Wakatoshi and the Iron Wall of Datekou, which is an UshiMoni series. I like it because I wasn’t expecting the kind of response it got, since its a very rare pair, and not many fans think much of it, but it still blows my mind that it’s got around a 120 kudos as of writing.

And a reason, a season, a lifetime, which was written for Daichi RarePair Week 2017, although it didn’t feature any Daichi pairing, but is a genfic, focusing on his relationship with the Karasuno freshmen. I like that I was able to churn out something, poetic? I guess?? 

🌻Your fic with the most kudos?

My second KuroDai series, for more chances of winning (your heart).

🌻Anything you don’t like about your writing?

Hmm, the inconsistency? I feel like my writing style is really inconsistent, like, I don’t think I have a defined one? And like, I’m trying to incorporate the styles of my favorite writers and it becomes some sort of a hot pot, but it doesn’t necessarily blend well/work well together, and instead just comes out messy, and basically inconsistent. This is why I usually stick to one shots, because this inconsistency is very clearly seen if my work is a multi-chaptered one, like one chapter will look different from the next and then bounce into another again. It’s... complicated. Aside from that, I don’t like how short it is. I mean, I am aware that I shouldn’t judge my work based on the number of words I have stringed together to form a “story”, but it gets me frustrated when I feel that it’s not long enough. 

🌻Now something you do like about your writing?

Well, I’d like to view this inconsistency as opportunity to improve. I don’t necessarily see myself as a professional writer, because really, writing for me, is just a hobby, but I do like to present works that are well, beautiful and read worthy. I guess, I want it to be worth of people’s time, you know what I’m saying? So yeah... Aside from that, I know it’s quite short, but it’s straight to the point? Like, when I write, and the things I have written, mostly, are about stories that shows something that I really want to see, and I tend to go at the heart of that, with little fanfare. Yeah, I guess I like that about it. 

I’m tagging @thatishogwash, @audriel89, and @bgee93, and everyone else who’d like to do this. It’s oddly uplifting... :D
