#i need more haikyuu pride and prejudice au

[shaewithyou]

reading Disrespecting You (AO3) while listening to this playlist healed me in some way. I need more Tsukishima x Reader Pride and Prejudice AU, it feeds my soul.

[bropunzeling]

(so much fun reading your responses and honsetly I feel you re: bdsm au world-building I've read one fic with a take that I adored but it's so hard to make it work for me!) my question for you is more of a request - could you rec me any/all of your favorite comforting fics? (Comforting by whatever that means to you, doesn't have to be fluff or anything! The more the better!)

here's a couple of my go-to rereads that arent just friend fiction (bc i rec them all the time akdjfh):

an ink-stained year by sixbeforelunch: epistolary pride&prejudice fic? for colonel fitzwilliam and caroline bingley? heck yes! a little jewel box of a fic.

i read the courtship ritual of the hercules beetle by kittebasu (oikawa/iwaizumi) before i even watched haikyuu, and then it was even better after watching haikyuu. the structure, the protagonist constantly lying to the reader and also himself, the slow slow build to someone finally allowing themselves to want what they want. delightful!

world enough and time by laiqualaurelote - miss phryne fisher, time lord! need i say more!?!?!

apres moi le deluge by lake (beyond_belief) - one of the first generation kill fics i read and absolutely changed the way i think about soulbond fic from that point on. brad and nate, yk?

Haikyuu!! - Pride and Prejudice AU

Okay, so I was just doing my thing, washing the dishes, when randomly this idea just came out of nowhere and I just needed to write it out! I don’t know if I’m gonna divide this into two parts (you know, characters AND plot, probably yes) but I’m just gonna start writing it out. Let’s get started!

The Bennet’s / The Iwaizumi’s:

Mr & Mrs Bennet / Iwaizumi Hajime & Oikawa Tooru: Come on, you can’t tell me that Oikawa wouldn’t be the perfect Mrs Bennet! Oikawa Tooru it’s the perfect drama queen and its very childish at times, but it has a good heart and a very unique personality, something that just the beautiful Mr Iwaizumi Hajime can deal with. And for the love of volleyball, just replace all the whining of “Mr Bennet” of Mrs Bennet and replace it with the “Iwa-chan” of Oikawa and tell me if I’m wrong!

Jane Bennet / Sugawara Koushi:  So there are three things that Jane Bennet and Sugawara Koushi have in common: amazing beauty, they're good listeners and both have a heart of gold, do I have to say more? 

Elizabeth Bennet / Hinata Shouyou: You can’t tell me you didn’t saw that one coming, even though I’m a Kagehina shipper, I can totally see numerous traits of Elizabeth Bennet in Hinata, like for example their prejudice: being able to yell the truths of their respective SO to their faces (don’t matter if they’re handsome and murderous at the same time) even though they’re wrong about it. Also, Hinata almost never refrains his mouth (just like Elizabeth) and you can’t tell me that Hinata wouldn’t be the favourite of Hajime.

Mary Bennet / Michimiya Yui:  She’s one of the characters that are pretty OOC in this AU, Mary is smart as her father but pedantic as her mother leading to embarrassing situations without her knowing, so it’s kinda difficult for her to “shine” between her sisters, she’s also described as the “Ignored Bennet”. I chose Yui as Mary not just because of the embarrassing situations she put herself into (when with Daichi), but because of the frustrating feeling of trying and not shining enough to be seen. Also, why not being the “Ignored Bennet” because of the lack of girls in the family?

Catherine “Kitty” Bennet & Lydia Bennet / Akira Kunimi & Yuutarou Kindaichi: It’s a fact that Kunimi and Kindaichi have a very good relationship, they have a very immature grudge against Kageyama and they talk behind him. I chose them to be Kitty and Lydia because honestly, I’m a little tired of them being evilize in almost every fanfiction, but leaving that, Kitty and Lydia also are pretty close and just like Kunimi and Kindaichi are pretty immature (you have to admit that Kunimi and Kindaichi were pretty immature with all of the “King of the Court” incident too). Also, Kitty is basically the shadow of Lydia even though she’s older; and to be honest I felt like Kunimi would be the perfect shadow because of his quiet personality opposing the competitive and stubborn of Kindaichi, the Lydia of this AU.

The Darcy’s and The Bingley’s / The Kageyama’s and The Sawamura’s

Charles Bingley/ Daichi Sawamura: This ray of sunshine deserves the role of Mr Bingley, he’s handsome and has this beautiful heart of gold. And come on, both of them are dense as a rock!

Caroline Bingley & Louisa Hurst / Miya Atsumu & Miya Osamu: I’ll start with this saying: both of the pairs are a pair of motherfuckers. I imagine Atsumu as Caroline because they’re basically the head of the plan and in each case; Louisa and Osamu, just roll with it. Osamu is shown more mature that Atsumu, and I also think that it’s the same case with Louisa and Caroline. Also, both pairs have handsome faces.

Fitzwilliam Darcy / Kageyama Tobio: This one is easy, I mean dark and handsome face, mysterious personality, just spit out what he thinks, cold as the pole outside but a teddy bear on the inside. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you, Kageyama Tobio, one of the best candidates to be Fitzwilliam Darcy and represent him perfectly without even trying!

Georgiana Darcy / Yachi Hitoka: So, I have it hard with this one, originally I wanted to put Kiyoko, but I think Hitoka fits more in the character of a sweet selfless girl who loves his brother, even if she knows that sometimes he’s a bastard. Plus, just think about Shouyou and Hitoka bonding over all the grumpy faces of Kageyama!

The other important characters:

George Wickham / Daishou Suguru: They are both snakes. I won’t say anything else. Just that. They’re fucking snakes.

William Collins / Lev Haiba: I know that Lev would never be as desperate and ugly as Collins, but I needed an awkward and personal space invader, so I decided to let it like this, even though it doesn’t convince me as much as I wanted. #OCC

Charlotte Lucas / Yaku Morisuke: Okay, this is completely OOC, I just can’t let Lev die all alone being Mr Collins in this AU. But at least just let me get one point that it kind of connect the dots between the two pairs: neither of Charlotte and Yaku can’t stand very well Collins and Yaku but they try too (for different reasons, but they try). #OCCSORRY

Lady Catherine de Bourgh / Washijou Tanji: Who could fulfil the impotent Lady Catherine de Bourgh but our very scary and strict coach of Shiratorizawa, Washijou Tanji?

Anne de Bourgh / Goshiki Tsutomu: I just wanted that this cinnamon roll appeared in this AU, plus he’s the smallest of the Shiratorizawa team, so it kinda fits.

Colonel Fitzwilliam / Tsukishima Kei: Knows how to rile up the grumpy man with black hair? Check, Knows how to rile up the impotent leader of Shiratorizawa? Check, even though its a little OCC because the Colonel was a very nice person I would like to see Tsukki and Tobio being cousins and change the dynamic between the original cousins (be able to be in the same room without bickering) to something more interesting (show some of the new character development in Haikyuu!!). 

Mr & Mrs Gardiner / Bokuto Koutarou & Akaashi Keiji : This one is pretty easy, we needed someone who had convince Shouyou to travel with them and who would be better at this than our favourite owl: Akaashi and Bokuto. Plus BokuAka is basically an old married couple and you can’t change my mind!

I posted a Fanfic Rec Challenge, so here are my answers:

1. List a Gen Fic (As in a fic where the Romance/Relationship is not the story focus) that you love.

Written in 2002, It Runs In The Family is one of those fanfics that has stuck with me through all these years. It was such a great Dick & Tim bonding fic and it’s my favorite fic in the small AU universe the author created. There’s just something fun about the prompt “Dick and Tim are accused of murdering Bruce Wayne” that has long established itself as one of my all time favorite Bat Family fics. :D

2. Share a fic that you like that has less than 100 kudos and is at least a year old.

Synapse is a Cyberpunk AU (which also would have fulfilled the Gen Fic requirement, now that I think about it) adventure story for My Hero Academia that was for a Big Bang - which meant it was posted all at once and probably didn’t get as much exposure as it would have if it had been posted a chapter at a time.

Which is a shame! It’s a fun, creative AU that shows off some great friendship between the MHA A-1 Class in a new environment.

It’s a fun fic and I hope you check it out.

3. Share a fic that features a Rare Pair you like.

Ushijima x Oikawa is my Haikyuu guilty pleasure ship and This Insignificant Pride and Prejudice is one heck of a fic. There is a reason it’s one of the top rated fics for the pairing - Everyone’s in character, the slow burn is real, Ushijima is adorable and Oikawa falls hard.

I love it. :D

4. Share a short fic (less than 10,000 words)

I don’t post about it often, but I am a huge Back to the Future fan. I love those movies to death and I will never get my hands on enough fics about Marty dealing with the new Versions of his Family and how much he might miss the old ones.

Peace is one of the good ones that explores it and features some great Marty & George bonding.

5. Share a long fic (more than 50,000 words)

Oh, man. So true confession: I do like the Michael Bay Transformers movies. I thought they were fun and I used to binge read fanfics for them on Fanfiction.net.

Property Of was one of my all time favs. Cybertronians keeping humans as pets is one of my favorite tropes and this fic did it very well. I loved the language barrier issues and the reveal that humans were sentient. Plus, it’s just a really great Bee & Sam bonding fic and I’m always a sucker for Bumblebee bonding wit Witwickys. :D

6. Name a Fandom you wish had more content and share a fic you like from it.

The Evil Within.

I loved the first game to death, but I feel like I’ve read every fic on AO3 for it that I was interested in. XD Specifically though, I’d love to see more Sebastian x Anyone. Yeah, I’m not picky.

The Fic Rec? Alter Ego. The fic has Leslie in it which is a win by itself, but I also really enjoy the Ruvik & Leslie have to body share while bothering Seb plot line it has going on. :D

7. Free space! Rec a fic you just wish had more love in general. :D

Sear - It’s a Captain Harlock fic and those are rare enough as it is. I need to reread this one myself. Yama was one of my favorite characters to come from that 2013 Harlock Movie (which is great if you haven’t seen it).

And that’s it! Let me know if you do this, too. I want to read everyone’s recs! :D
