I think iwaizumi and ushijima should have a night of passionate love that leads to them both having a little mini crisis

[sinkat-arts]

Have a crop of a spicy IwaUshi pic, inspired by the story Fuck the Status Quo by anininjaspaz in which Iwaizumi literally sweeps Ushi off his feet. Because Iwa-chan's got a lotta muscle in that 5'10" frame. >.>;;;;

The most hated haikyuu ships are the best love tropes

[cathgotyourtongue]

Baby, it's cold outside.

[13075]

So Furudate finally released the Ushiiwa selfie AND THERE IS SO MUCH TO UNPACK IN THIS PANEL....

The things to unpack in question:

1. The chaotic Ushiiwa selfie itself. The lighting is behind them, they're not looking at the camera, AND THEIR SMILES?

2. Oikawa's reaction. He's just ???? because wow my boyfriend sucks at taking a selfie.

3. Iwaizumi's reaction to Oihina's selfie! Look at him laughing like a gremlin.

4. Last but not the least, IWAIZUMI'S CONTACT NAME FOR OIKAWA "TORU"

[dracoria-azucar]

I think UshiKage, IwaKage, and IwaUshi are all very funny ships just like conceptually speaking because they are all reasonably based in canon especially when taking time skip stuff into account but also the implications of any of them dating each other also provides the heavy implication that Oikawa Toru is in a constant state of emotional distress somewhere out of view.

[starglossie]

ushiiwa nation make some noise !! upcoming fic <3

[iitachiyama]

me: idk, I just don’t really ship anything that hard anymore…

UshiIwa Fic Recs

(that nobody asked for)

Hello! It’s my distinct pleasure to welcome you all to UshiIwa hell! I’ve been malingering here for years, but with new developments in canon, it looks like I am no longer stuck on Gilligan’s Island (me plus the six other sad bastards i’m stranded with). 

As a long time sufferer of this ship, I would like to introduce you to some of my favorite UshiIwa stories, including a few of my own bc tag smol. :’)

Rating: G/T

I Lose Control by voices_in_my_head Tags: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, OMC (Coach) Summary: "He looks to the bench, where Iwaizumi’s eyes dance from player to player." Words: 1,538 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: this is an interesting study of how Ushijima would deal with an injury at a crucial moment when everyone is counting on him, plus a dose of priority.

Cordially Uninvited by Karasuno Volleygays (that’s me) Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Possible Current Manga Spoilers, Established Relationship, Paparazzi Summary: Paparazzi haunting notable people has always been a problem, but Hajime and Wakatoshi opt to clear the air on their own terms. Words: 1,279 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: I thought it would be interesting to see how Ushijima would deal with celebrity and subsequently strangers poking their noses in his personal business.

Three Doors Down by Karasuno Volleygays Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Fluff, More Fluff, pretty bara men bonding over dogs Summary: When Ushijima inherited a property that had seen better days, he found himself spending a lot of time and effort in a new part of town restoring the house to its former glory. However, he didn't expect a litter of puppies in a yard a few houses over to revive his spirit, as well.

He certainly didn't anticipate their owner stirring something to life within him, either, but that was a development he didn't need much coaxing to get used to. Words: 13,145 Chapters: 2/2 My notes: I have no excuses for how fluffy this is.

you're good, too quickly admitted by pyrality Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Coffeeshop AU, College AU, Fluff, Getting Together, Awkward Flirting Summary: Iwaizumi sits back in the chair, "Oikawa thinks I could do better."

Ushijima swallows, eyes still on his laptop screen, "And what do you think?"

"I think I'd like to go out to lunch with you sometime."

He looks up at the other boy, feeling warm at the sight of Iwaizumi's crooked, barely there smile, a challenging twinkle in his eye.

"Oh," Ushijima manages before he recomposes himself, "I'd like that.” Words: 2,731 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: UshiIwa dating to spite Oikawa is too good to turn down.

Alight by Karasuno Volleygays Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Time Skips, Rivals to Lovers Summary: Iwaizumi Hajime can't believe his soulmate is the guy who just wiped the floor with his team, but there is no denying the fact that he is irrevocably linked to Ushijima Wakatoshi. Words: 4,504 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: If you’re interested in them getting to know each other through their failures and vulnerable moments, this is probably your jam.

Baby It's Cold Outside by RarePairGremlin Tags: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Winter, Cuddling, light grinding, hints to smut but nothing is described, jaw kiss, Kissing, Fluff, Established Relationship Summary: The childish grin spread over his lips again as he faced them, his gaze roaming up them slowly as an idea formed. Ushijima, ever prepared, was fully dressed in thick socks a pair of blue sweats, which they had tucked into their socks like the crime against fashion they are, and a thick hoodie. He knew for a fact, since he’s stolen it enough times, that the hoodie was fuzzy and soft on the inside. Beside them lay a steaming cup of tea, the bag still steeping inside as they liked their tea strong, and the aforementioned throw lay comfortably across their lap. A perfect image of warm and cozy.

It would be a shame if someone was to disturb that now wouldn’t it? Words: 1,471 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: This is exactly what it says on the tin, plus a bonus NB Ushijima!

the ghost in your room by mousecat Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Unrequited Love, Unrequited IwaOi, oikawa is a bit of a dick Summary: Hajime finds a way to get over Oikawa Words: 1,173 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: It’s an oddly pleasurable mixture of fluff and a punch in the throat.

Good Graces by Karasuno Volleygays Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Established Relationship, Arguments, Mending Fences Summary: Hajime is pissed at Wakatoshi for something he admits he did until he finds out the real reason he did it. Then he feels like a jackass. Hopefully, his live-in boyfriend is up for a good old fashioned groveling session. Words: 2,059 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: Making your otp mad at each other is hard and it hurts, but the communication afterward is so important. 

lit the very fuse by mousecat Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Getting Together, Unrequited Love, Christmas Eve, Mostly Fluff, ushiwaka is a soft boy, you can never convince me otherwise Summary: Hajime isn't sure what he and Ushijima are to each other, but he knows he's still stuck on Oikawa. Words: 2,609 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: If you like FWB to Lovers, step right up and scream into the void with me. 

Once An Enemy. by BGee93 Tags: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Alternate Universe - College/University, Fluff, Getting Together, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Enemies to Friends, Aged-Up Character(s), Slow Burn, Misunderstandings, Not Beta Read, Domestic Fluff, Fluff and Humor, Fluffy Ending, Volleyball, Volleyball Dorks in Love, Volleyball Dorks & Nerds, volleyball mentioned not played, Getting to Know Each Other, Love, Love Confessions, Falling In Love, Friendship/Love, Idiots in Love, Declarations Of Love, Dorks in Love, Confessions, Enemies to Lovers, Sharing a Bed, Literal Sleeping Together, Coffee Shops, Bakery and Coffee Shop, Coffee, First Dates, Awkward Dates, Aobajousai, Shiratorizawa, boyfriend sweater, Confusion, Cliche, cliches, Awkward RomanceAwkward Meetings, meme team - Freeform, Slow Build, Slow Romance, very slow burn, Sleeping Together, Sleepovers, Bonding, Forced Bonding Summary: 'It took several minutes to catch his breath again and to stop hissing through his teeth at the areas that throbbed, until they were just a dull ache. Once Iwaizumi felt he was able to move again he slid his hands up the strangers chest, ignoring the ripple and twitches his touch caused since the situation was already awkward enough without Iwaizumi appreciating the well toned muscle under his fingertips, as he pushed himself up till he was able to look at the persons face. There was more lighting on the bottom floor, as it was closer to the illuminating street lamps outside, so he was able to make out exactly who the man was within mere seconds despite the face still being quite shadowed. And the identity shocked him into stilling every joint, muscle and fiber of his being.

Oh hell no.' Words: 20,130 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: This was written for me as a gift in an exchange a while back. Have I stopped screaming about it? Not bloody likely.

Rating: M

Focus (On Me) by Verbrennung Tags: Underage, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Ushijima is a 1st year, lots of staring, and looming, and crowding, Seijou!Ushijima, rated for ~makin' out~ Summary: Nobody had foreseen future Super Ace Ushijima Wakatoshi transferring from Shiratorizawa to Aoba Johsai for high school. Everyone's curious to know why, and as Iwaizumi discovers, some of his reasons are... unexpected.

An AU in which everything is mostly the same except Ushijima is a first year at Aoba Johsai and has a huge, looming crush on Iwaizumi. Words: 12,454 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: This should probably be rated T instead, but whatever. If you ever wanted to know how much of an awkward bastard both of them are when they’re into someone, this is your jam.

Point Blank by Karasuno Volleygays Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Future Fic, Brief (but pertinent) Mention of Homophobia, Slow Burn, Financial shenanigans, Scary Men with Guns, Minor Character Death Summary: Iwaizumi Hajime accepted a position at a company that was going places, and he knew he had a bright future ahead of him if he just kept his head down and worked hard — a future his family desperately needed him to achieve. He didn't count on an old rival working in the same building, nor Ushijima Wakatoshi's surprisingly cordial demeanor, yet he managed to make an unlikely friend and an even more unlikely roommate.

But when Iwaizumi climbed up the company ladder and into some of the more shadowy recesses of the corporate realm, he knew they would both get more than they bargained for, and the only person he knew he could trust was Ushijima. Words: 44,981 Chapters: 12/12 My notes: This was my first UshiIwa and I still think about it a lot. Imagining these guys in regular jobs is strange, but kind of endearing when you get a feel for how they live their lives after volleyball.

Rating: E

Flare by fish_wifey Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, From dislike to like, Tension, Sex Toys, Anal Sex, Dressing Room Sex, Topping from the Bottom, Orgasm Delay/Denial Summary: Ushijima's forwardness makes Iwaizumi edgy, but after they figure their shit out, it's Iwaizumi who brings Ushijima on edge. Words: 7,687 Chapters: 2/2 My notes: Enemies to lovers speed run ahoy!

Tangled Webs by Karasuno Volleygays (Restricted) Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Black Widow AU, Assassin Iwaizumi, Crime boss Ushijima, alcohol use, Drugging, dubcon elements, Angst Summary: Iwaizumi Hajime is a seasoned killer, with wit sharp enough to cut and reflexes to match. He's never missed a kill. That is, of course, until he meets his new mark — Ushijima Wakatoshi.

Can Ushijima offer Iwaizumi what he truly desires, on top of a night of heated passion that can only end one way? Words: 4,120 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: This was some fucked up stuff, but sweet baby jesus it was a wild ride to write.

Unraveled by Karasuno Volleygays (Restricted) Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Bondage, Knife Play, Edging, Rough Sex, Flogging, Breathplay, Toys, Dubious Morality Summary: After his liberation from his past life, Iwaizumi adjusts to life with Ushijima. But something is missing, and Ushijima picks the strangest (and most erotic) way to give it to him. Words: 5,145 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: It’s cute that I thought the first fic in this series was fucked up. This one was clearly more so, but noragerts.

"Yes?"

"What if one day you woke up as a chicken?"

"What if one day you shut the fuck up?", interrupts Hajime groggily.

(Or, simply put, the awful(ly amazing) conversations these three dorks have during sleepless nights) Words: 1,064 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: I hope you like banter and Oikawa roastage haha

Tiny cracks begin to widen, ever so slowly, until the gaps they leave seem insurmountable.

They find their answers with each other, and surprisingly enough, with the little boy loitering outside their window.

—-

Or, a story of disconnects and the love it takes to bridge them. Words: 121,443 Chapters: 18/18 My notes: It’s long with a lot of heavy themes, but if you look at the tags and think you can get through them, it’s so worth it.

Neither of them will say anything.

Then, suddenly, Ushijima is there.

And things get very complicated. Words: 32,385 Chapters: 9/10 My notes: Normally I don’t put WIPs on rec lists, but this one is close to completion and it’s so, so worth it. Boys are dumb and you should appreciate them.

Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do, when you go to a different university from your best friend? Now that his life isn’t filled with Oikawa, he should have been making new friends, trying new things, whatever.

Instead, he shows up barely on time to his anatomy class, hears a small noise from beside him, and turns around to see Ushijima Wakatoshi. Words: 20,024 Chapters: 2/2 Relationship: UshiIwaOi My notes: Accidental rivals to lovers? Enjoy the sound of me screaming into the abyss, and the abyss screams back.

They stumble in with their lips still sealed over each other’s, silent giggles passing between mouths as Oikawa hurries to flatten his hand against the door to shut it and crowd Iwaizumi against the surface, other hand winding around his waist to pull him close, keep him there—

But then an alarmed noise rips from Iwaizumi’s throat, the hand steady on his shoulder suddenly pushing him away Iwaizumi’s looking behind him, expression a mix of shock and mild horror and Oikawa follows a split second later, just in time for a moan to resonate past the muffled music being carried over from downstairs.

“Oikawa.” Ushijima greets, only the slightest tremor to his voice as Shirabu sinks down on his cock. “Tendou didn’t mention you’d be here.” English Words: 9,736 Chapters: 1/1 Relationship: UshiShiraIwaOi My notes: Good lord this is spicy. This is ‘swinging’ in its truest form.

treat (I think)

Wakatoshi stares down at the empty coast line as the storm rages.  Flashes of lightning turn his windows to mirrors and crashes of thunder threaten to shatter the lighthouse with him inside it.  The storm has been raging on for nearly three nights now and he can only hope that everyone in town had made it out safely.  Lightning flashes again and he looks away from his reflection in the glass.

He doesn’t need to see how haggard he looks.  It hasn’t been just the storm itself that’s kept him awake the last few days and he looks about as worn down as he feels.

No one had ever said being the lighthouse keeper around here would be easy.

A loud crack cuts through the air and he sighs.  It’s going to be another long night.

—

He stands on the beach, rain and wind lashing at him, and stares up at the shipwreck.  He was good at his job but really?  This was the fourth time in as many days.

“You cannot keep doing this,” he calls out.  The wind rips his voice from him as soon as it leaves his lips but he knows he can be heard loud and clear.  “It is improper.”

Candle light flickers into existence throughout the wreck and he sighs; ever the romantic his love was.

Something rumbles into existence a few steps away and he banishes it with a cool look and a flick of his fingers.  The stuff crawling onto the beach tonight is barely worth his time but he is nothing if not diligent.  A couple more rounds of creatures and things he doesn’t really feel examining close enough to put a name to crawl into his sight and he sends them back to where they came from with utmost efficiency.  And a very minimal amount of ooze and grossness.

“I just love watching you work.”  He barely glances up at the wreck when he hears Hajime’s voice.  “All those muscles and that movement.  You’re like a dancer.”  Something shifts in the sand to his left and he turns to the side and sends it back with a twist of his wrist.  “A deadly dancer.  But still beautiful.”

“You are very transparent tonight.”  He finally looks up at Hajime’s snort of laughter.  Hajime holds up his hand and Wakatoshi rolls his eyes when he can easily see the masts and lines through it.  “I meant it as in you are not being subtle.  But you are being particularly see-through as well.”

“I’m a little untethered tonight, it’s true.”  Hajime gestures for Wakatoshi to join him on deck and Wakatoshi shakes his head.  “Come on.  You know you’re the only thing that can anchor me.”

“You know that’s not my duty here Hajime.”

Hajime smirks and hops down into the sand next to him.  “I guess if you won’t join me I’ll have to join you.”

—

“You need to be careful Wakatoshi,” Satori says.  Their connection sucks with the storms outside but he can still hear his friend well enough.  “He’s not what you think he is.”

“I know what he is.”

“He’s not just some ghostly ship captain you know.”

“Yes.  I know.”

“Of all the people I know you are the last I expected to start shacking up with someone like him.”

“What can I say?”  Wakatoshi stares out the window as watches as lightning flashes and a ship wrecks itself upon the shore.  “I like his tenacity.”

“You like his weird water god demon abs don’t even pretend otherwise.”

“I can like both.”

Waves break upon the shore as Hajime’s ship flickers to life.

“He’s there isn’t he?  Ugh.  Go.  Frolic with your half-corporeal boy toy.  Call me when the storms let up.”

Wakatoshi hangs up and grabs his jacket before leaving the lighthouse to make his way to the shore.

—

“One of these days,” Hajime says, hand cool against Wakatoshi’s cheek, “I’ll get you to come with me.”

Wakatoshi leans into the cool touch and smiles.  “You know I cannot.  The lighthouse keeper cannot run away just because some nice boy flirts with him.”  Hajime snorts.  “I have duties you know.”

Hajime wiggles his brows.  “Am I one of those duties?”

“You are a perk of the job that I appreciate greatly.”  The rain pours and thunder crashes, sounds muted outside the cave their curled up in.  Hajime sighs and starts collecting his thing to venture back out into the storm.  Wakatoshi doesn’t want him to go, he never really wants to let him go, but he knows he has to.  For now at least.

“One day,” Hajime says over his shoulder.  Lightning flashes and Wakatoshi can see the shore light up through Hajime.  Then Hajime steps into the storm and he’s gone.

“One day,” Wakatoshi agrees.

—

He takes his time.  Once the storms die down he heads into town and gets a hold of old friends.  He makes his plans and sets them in motion, diligent as always, and when the weather shifts again he’s ready.

He watches from the lighthouse as the storm rages and the lightning flashes through the sky and the wind batters the waves against the shore.

Thunder cracks through the night and he smiles at the sound.

He makes his way down the to shoreline, wades through the creatures and dismisses those that get in his way without pause.  Hajime watches him, eyes alight with amusement, as he flicks his wrist and sends them back.

“Once again.  I love watching you work.”  Hajime looks down at him and holds out his hand.  “Wanna climb on board?”

Wakatoshi raises his brows.  “You or your ship?”

“Yes.”  Hajime grins at him.

Wakatoshi smiles back.  “Permission to come aboard, Captain?”

Hajime sobers and stares down at him, body flickering in and out of solidity.  “Me or my ship?”

“Yes.”

“Really?  You’re coming with?  Like for real?”  The sand squelches beside him and Wakatoshi ends the creature’s existence before it even raises it’s scaly arm.  “What about all of this?”

“You need me with you more than they need me here.”  The air behind him crackles wildly and he laughs softly.  He knows Hajime can hear him even through the storm.  “Besides.  There’s a new lighthouse keeper.  My contract is up here.”  He ignores the squelches and crackles and wild laughter behind him at stares into Hajime’s eyes.  “What do you say?  Do you have room for one more up on that ship?”

Hajime’s gaze turns sharp and serious.  “There’s a price to pay.  To come aboard this ship.”

Wakatoshi shrugs.  “You have had my heart for centuries already.  Might as well accept my soul as well.”

Hajime waves him up.  His fingers go cold as he climbs aboard, magic in his soul leaking out of him and into the ship.  His legs feel weak as he pulls himself onto the deck.  His blood is sluggish in his veins as he stands straight and looks into the eyes of his love.

“Welcome aboard.”  Hajime pulls Wakatoshi in for a kiss.  “Let’s set sail,” he mutters, breath cool against Wakatoshi’s frozen numb lips.
