rue’s songfic writing event finale!

— here’s a masterlist of songfics i wrote from my (and yours!) favorite albums. each album contains three fics of a certain haikyuu character - kuroo, atsumu, akaashi, oikawa.

— all gender neutral, no pronouns / description of reader mentioned ! ♡

— thank you to everyone who sent in their favorite lyrics and songs! this could not have been done without you, and i am so grateful for your participation!

blond (2016) by frank ocean — kuroo tetsurou.

ivy — kuroo learns, from an early age, that you would always be his first.

white ferrari — you really didn’t expect to have visitors at 9 in the evening, but when your ex boyfriend comes knocking at your door, how could you ever say no?

godspeed — right person, wrong time, but that’s okay, cause kuroo’s willing to wait.

evermore (2020) by taylor swift — atsumu miya.

gold rush — atsumu wonders, more often than he’d like, what it would be like to love you.

champagne problems — because sometimes you just don’t know the answer until they’re on their knees and asks you.

tolerate it — atsumu’s in it for the long haul, even if you aren’t.

fine line (2019) by harry styles — akaashi keiji.

fine line — akaashi sits on the edge of loving you so much that he’s starting to think you’re bad for him.

cherry — breaks up are tough, especially when the person akaashi planned to spend the rest of his life with starts calling someone new with the nicknames they gave him.

adore you — akaashi has trouble focusing when your eyes are just so easy to get lost into.

kid krow (2020) by conan gray — oikawa tooru.

wish you were sober — because oikawa is a firm believer that a drunk man’s thoughts is a sober man’s secrets.

little league — oikawa’s always known he’d end up loving you from the minute he first met you, it was almost like a premonition.

the cut that always bleeds — you will always be the one person oikawa looks for first when he enters a room, even if he isn’t yours anymore.

reputation (2017) by taylor swift — author’s faves.

call it what you want — million dollar question of the night, was kuroo tetsurou your boyfriend? cause he’d certainly like to know.

delicate — atsumu’s reputation precedes him, but he really hopes that you’d be willing to ignore that.

gorgeous — because the only thing worst for akaashi than being dragged to a party, is seeing you talk to everybody but him.

king of my heart — oikawa’s crown was way too big for him, but it’s a good thing that you’d be by his side waiting for him to grow into it.

★ — thank you for this milestone. it is so insane that this much people follow and keep up with what i write and i still cannot believe nor fathom the support i’ve gotten. i love all of you so much. please never hesitate to message me.

Hello! I just found your account and I absolutely love your writing! So, my parents are going to take me to one of their friends weddings and my mother's talking about making me wear a dress, but that's not something I'm comfortable with, yknow? So could you possibly do hcs or smth of Bokuto, Akaashi, Suga, Kenma, and Tendou when their s/o has a breakdown bc her parents are making her wear a dress to a formal event? Thank you so much and take your time!! ❤️❤️❤️

☆*.:｡.✿ 𝕨𝕒𝕣𝕟𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕤: none

☆*.:｡.✿ 𝕒/𝕟: omg,,, I really hope you are okay and you don’t have to wear something you don’t want to wear :( <3 I really understand the struggles, n hopefully everything was alright in the end? <3

Thank you very much for requesting, babe! I hope you like those and I am also v glad you like my writing, it really made my heart go 🦋🦋🥺❤

Sorry for the hiatus, I hope you didn’t mind the wait <3

☆*.:｡.✿ 𝕞𝕒𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕚𝕤𝕥

☆*.:｡.✿ Headcanons:

Bokuto’s, Akaashi’s, Sugawara’s, Kozume’s and Tendō’s GF being forced to wear a dress at a formal event and breaking down:

BOKUTO:

This baby is really excited to go with you to the event! And he is just excited to see you in a dress

Don’t get me wrong, he thinks that you are beautiful either way, with a dress or with normal clothes, he just always wanted to see his girl in a dress

But seeing you breakdown because you really didn’t want to wear the dress broke his heart and he immediately changed his mind

The first thing he was thinking of ways to comfort you with a hug and tell you then that you being comfortable is much more important than you looking good on a stupid event

“Baby it’s okay, it’s okay. I can try to talk to your parents. There are surely very nice and good looking suits for women?” and he really looked in the internet for a few hours to find you cute clothes you would be comfortable in

BUT POOR BABY DIDN’T LOOK AT THE PRIZE

He does everything he is able to, but honestly, he is a little uh,,, stupid and forgets about the fact that he could talk about that with your parents.

In the end, your parents still loved the clothes he got for you! They were almost like a dress, but you know, something you loved too and were comfortable in<3

AKAASHI:

Akaashi doesn’t really mind in which dress he would see you, or if he would see you in a dress. You are beautiful in his eyes the way you are<3

He really wanted to see you being all dressed up

And with all dressed up, I mean that he really would love to see you enjoying yourself at the event and being happy with your relatives

But your mom seemed to force you to wear a dress which you obviously didn’t like and which lead you to a breakdown.

Of course, like we all know Akaashi, he got very worried and immediately offered you to try to persuade your mother to let you wear something she and you likes

Honestly, he didn’t really ask and already hurried to your mother, asking her that. Damn, he even offered to pay for the clothes, and who can say no to Akaashi?

So Akaashi, your mother and you went to the shopping center where you found the clothes you liked, and your mother did too

AND AKAASHI BEING THE GENTLEMAN HE IS PAID FOR IT

He was so happy to see you and your mothers happy too and his heart went doki doki <3

Your mom loved him before but now she loves him even more awe <3

SUGAWARA:

He is a mom himself honestly---

N e way, he is SO nervous about seeing you in formal clothes and his heart it like almost deed

N he was so excited to see you wearing the best clothes ever!

Like he really didn’t think of a dress in the first place and once your mom told you to wear a dress he was at first like oh yeah!

But his mind changed immediately after seeing you break down :(

He felt so bad for you and panicked for a few seconds before finally getting to his clear mind and telling you that you two can find a solution <3

And the solution was to try to find a dress which you would love! But he kept reassuring you that if you wouldn’t find anything you shouldn’t stress too much and he would find a solution

He is so supportive and sweet! But too scared to talk to your mother :(

Once he is able to though, he will just beg your mother to let you wear something else and tells her that if you are happy he is too <3

In the end, it worked and she allowed you two wear the things you found with Sugawara since she pitied him for feeling this way and also for making you feel this way :(<3

KOZUME:

He may seem like he doesn’t care about you very much sometimes, but he does!

And the moment you break down is the moment where he gets v worried and shows it with small sings like always reassuring you that its okay to not feel comfortable in clothes and so on.

Like he always texts you things like “It’ll be fine” and so on

He also came over the day you broke down and hugged you all the day, giving you so many kisses all over your face to make you feel loved <3

And one day before the event he comes over, having these clothes with him you always loved lasdfd

In the end, he planned it all. He somehow made it to ask your mom to get other clothes and surprisingly she agreed after he told her that you broke down. At first, she didn’t seem to understand but after seeing your eyes light up in joy she understood it all

In the end, thanks to Kenma planning it all everyone was happy with your clothes and your mother started to actually like Kenma a lot for making so much effort and looking for your fave clothes <3

But now your mother knows that he would do anything just to see you happy!

He loves you ogge :(

TENDŌ:

Listen here, seeing you in a dress would be SO exciting for him but if you aren’t comfortable he really doesn’t mind

And seeing you break down makes him SUPER worried like he does anything to cheer you up

He even offers you to wear himself a dress if that makes you feel better :(

Really does stress a lot about that, like he is so worried that you will break down again and does everything he is able to make you feel better

Honestly, he is a little too dramatic but it's sweet!

N E WAY

He also asked your mother, even begged her to get you some other clothes you two would agree on

And he also told her that he could wear the dress ?? idk

the point where he mentioned he would even wear the dress itself made her realize that he was truly worried about you so she just accepted it

AND TENDOU WAS HUGGING HER LIKE OASJDF

But she knew he meant it well <3

So he came up with the good news to you and was so excited to get you your clothes which you wanted to wear! <3

He even paid as much as possible, even if you didn’t let him, he still somehow managed to pay half the clothes you got yourself

In light of the holiday and my need to Pretend Everything is Fine™ after the latest manga chapters... Have some Halloween crack for one of my fave volley duos (if you don’t mind a few f-bombs and college shenanigans; no other warnings): 

A Super Saiyan Halloween 🎃

Screeeeech! Screech! Screeeech!

“Shit!” Kuroo’s steepled legs fell flat to the rug as his heart jumped out of his damn skin. He had been sitting at the foot of his bed, studiously looming over the chemistry textbook he’d propped up on his knees. Now, however, he was scrambling to his feet, whirling toward the source of the unearthly noises coming somewhere behind him.

Screech! Screech!

The banshee shrieks were apparently emanating from…his pillow? Then he saw it: his phone, the screen alight with…an image of a horned owl. “Fucking. Bokuto.” Sometimes he hated his roommate almost as much as he loved him.

Kuroo snatched up his phone to silence the mournful warbles blasting through his room. “A squawking owl—really?!” He ran a hand through the overhang of his bangs.

“Broooo, c’mon!” Bokuto’s voice boomed through his phone’s speaker, somehow just as earsplitting as the owl cries that Bo had, apparently, personalized as his ringtone. “First of all, it’s a Screech Owl. Second of all, it’s festive! All spooooky and shit, right?” He let out a thunderous laugh.

Kuroo scrubbed a hand down his face as his heart rate slowly leveled off, fighting to keep the grin off his lips. “Alright, asshole. Now that you’ve successfully gotten me to dropkick my chem book into the wall…” His dark eyes jumped to the point of impact, glaring at the dent that would’ve definitely cost him his safety deposit...

...If, ya know, Bokuto hadn’t already seen to that by ricocheting a spike off Kuroo’s ass into the damned ceiling the actual, literal, for-real first week of classes! Kuroo had been sound asleep, simply enjoying a face-down catnap on the too-small couch in the living/dining space of their ‘student athlete’ dorm. But apparently Kuroo’s fine ass had proven too sweet a target for Bokuto to resist.... 

Kuroo bit down a laugh, he’d add the latest dent to Bokuto’s ever-growing damages tab.

Then again… Kuroo might have retaliated to the ass-spiking incident by creeping into their shared bathroom while Bokuto was showering…and dumping several tray’s worth of ice cubes onto Bo’s stupid owl head. Which, in turn, may have resulted in Bokuto’s flailing himself into a tangle with the shower curtain...and wrenching the entire damned curtain rod from the drywall…. Then Bo—soaking wet, still-sudsy, a towel barely clinging to his hips—might have torn after a cackling Kuroo, pelting him with an arsenal of toiletry bottle projectiles...until they’d turn their dorm into veritable a slip-n-slide with all the spilt shampoo and shower gel....

Their dorm still smelled faintly of Old Spice, and duct tape was still the only thing keeping their shower curtain up—their first week of college had been a bit of a shitshow. 

Kuroo might have snorted if he hadn’t slapped his knuckles to his lips. “What do you want, Bo?” he snickered. 

“Bro, bro, bro!!” Bokuto began anew, his voice going quieter, more conspiratorial, with each ‘bro,’ “I know what we’re doing for Halloween.”

Now Kuroo let his grin spread unrestrained. He’d been waiting for this. They had the team’s unofficially-official annual Halloween party next weekend, and, per tradition, everyone on the team but the seniors was required to participate in the costume contest, either alone or in pairs. Naturally, being the dream team that they were, he and Bo were entering together. And they were going to win. 

“Oya?”

“Oya, oya!” Bokuto shouted. “Check your texts!”

The photos arrived a moment later; Kuroo’s eyebrows shot up. “Oh-ho-ho!”

Oh, this was going to be good….

—

So I was totally gonna write this thing—I mean, check my sweet-ass collages! Instead, I scratched this out, uh, just now...after my neighbors plied me with their amazing autumn sangria while we passed out candy. Shhh, don’t judge me. 😂 Obvs not really edited or finished, but I wanted to post something festive. 🎃 Here’s where dis shit was supposed to go (and might still one day):

Bokuto booming out “KAKAROOOOT” at Kuroo every chance he gets (even though Bo’s Gohan, not Vegeta). 

Kuroo calling Bokuto “Son” all damn night. 

Bokuto painting a volleyball blue…for the sole purpose of shouting “KAAAMEEEHAAAMEEEHAAAAAA!!” while spiking it at people throughout the evening. What could possibly go wrong??

Bokuto roping the next 🦉 captain into it as well: “You can be Vegeta, Akaashi, I’ll gel your hair up like mine and—! ” “Bokuto-San, I don’t even go to your college, I can’t participate in your team’s costu—” “Just come! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE—!” “Fine, Bokuto-san! …Fine… But no spandex.” 

(More of my 🍷 bullshit  beneath the cut, ft. Kenma and Tsukki.)

Bo and Kuroo harassing Tsukki into coming with Akaashi because “TSUKKI YOU’RE BLONDE—YOU’RE PRACTICALLY A SUPER SAIYAN ALREADY!” Tsukki’s deadpan: “Not a chance.” “…But you’re still coming, right?” “…Only to see the campus and the team.”

Kuroo halfheartedly lamenting the fact that Kenma isn’t a party animal since he could have been an awesome Trunks if he’d dyed his hair purple—his roots need a touch-up anyways—and slapped a Capsule Corp logo to his phone. 

Bo aiming that Kamehameha ball at multiple asses throughout the night (mostly Kuroo’s, Tsukki’s, and Akaashi’s ofc). Akaashi, gesturing vaguely at his chest after Bokuto just made him spill half his drink down his shirt: “Bokuto-san, you really ruined a perfectly good volleyball for this…?” 

Bo getting “philosophical” several drinks in like: “AKAASHI!! What do you think would happen if I spiked a Dragon Ball, like, for real??” Akaashi stares into his Solo cup for a long moment, wondering if this is really what his life has come to, then downs half his drink. It’s not strong enough.

Alright. That’s it. This concludes my tipsy Halloween bullshit. Highfives to anyone who made it this far (🙌🏻), and here’s the panel that got me on this bullshit, colored Super Saiyan on my iPhone. 😹 Happy Halloween, ya’ll.

[darlingstardust-fics]

Breakfast in Bed

Most alphas think that pregnancy is all roses and soft skin, smiles, pinks and blues and yellows, laughter, and lazy day cuddles while their omegas sit at home and make lunch in the filtering sunlight of the day that played on the soft features that make it all seem so soft and playful. It was such an old way of thinking but honestly, for some alpha and omega couples it was exactly that. Pregnancy and bringing a first born into the world was different for everyone.

That being said, Akaashi Keiji didn’t experience his first pregnancy with such high regards and went into it with high expectations only to experience the ugly part of parenthood that only he would get the worst of, and it’s not that he was very vain, but it was the entirety of it. Books, movies, and television had lied to him, saying it would be easy and you just get fat and cry while carrying the baby and that birth was painful but rewarding. Wrong-o. That was beyond what the case was and it ticked him off, not really knowing what to expect in the first place. Granted, Bokuto had started to gain a bit of sympathy weight and it had made Akaashi that much more accepting of his fate. It was probably one of the only good things he found about being pregnant, besides the excitement of actually having a baby.

No matter how much he tried to mold his symptoms and take antacid for his chest splitting heart burn, or suck on lemons to keep nausea at bay, he still ended up waking every morning or being inconvenienced at the grocery store only to vomit, and it sucked greatly - it didn’t help that despite the old wives tale that morning sickness just lasted through the first trimester. Oh, but ‘Pregnancy is different for every child barer’ his doctor had told him with a smile - he wanted to punch that doctor in the mouth (now, he had to deal with Sugawara Koushi, his OB, who, while being nice, was probably almost too cheerful for his own good. The omega had popped out four alpha children - one for each year he and his alpha had been mated - and having just come back from his latest maternal leave right as Akaashi was put under his care. He was a tough cookie and Akaashi was grateful to have him.)

Still, this whole pissed him off. 

Not only did the stomach stuff keep him up, but for the first month and a half after knowing he was carrying, his face had broke out in almost a hive-like spread of acne across his forehead, nose, and chin, under his shirt around his chest, and on his back. He even fought one inside of his ear for a considerable number of weeks and it frustrated him to the point of tears - and yet, his mother-in-law, and all the others he encountered who learned of his blessing had all said the same thing: “You’re glowing!” Glowing red sounded more accurate. And that wasn’t even the worst of it, with the constipation and chaffing of his thighs when he walked, the heat and sweating deciding to pool elsewhere. Sure, he was half way to his due date but everyday he felt like he was sleeping on nails and his feet and ankles felt like they were on fire. He had tried telling Sugawara that he was upset and was hoping for some sort of cure or relief.

His response, word for word. “Oh, honey! That’s the beauty of it! You suffer because your body is going through many hormonal changes and it’s all to get you ready for the miracle of birth.” Sugawara gave him a wide smile. He was positively nuts. But there was one good thing about Doctor Sugawara Koushi that Keiji agreed with and that was approved, despite all the pamphlets and lectures on staying away from certain things. 

And it was bed rest, and lots of it.

Akaashi worked from home most days anyway as a program designer at the state college. He would have to attend meetings once every couple of weeks but it was something he was used to. He and Bokuto would make a day out of it when he would have to travel the two hours to present to his bosses or talk to clients about a project. Staying home and in bed wasn’t a problem for Akaashi, oh no it wasn’t. He would get restless but he did end up spending a good eight hours in bed, working, and then he would get up to exercise, shower, or make dinner for his alpha. Again, this was something he did on the daily. The only problem he encountered was Bokuto.

“Man, I wanna lay in bed all day too.” He commented as he came home one night and saw Akaashi in his robe and one of Bokuto’s shirts. Normally he was at least half way dressed but now, he was five months along and none of his shirts wanted to stay covering his bump, so he resorted to an old gray band tee that Bokuto had owned since college, sporting his red sweatpants and slippers. He looked really comfy. Akaashi just rolled his eyes.

“Sitting in bed all day hasn’t made my slowly developing hemorrhoids go away, Koutarou. Besides, I do this all the time. You didn’t complain when I wasn’t pregnant,” He countered and checked up on the eggs he was scrambling.

“I knowwwww...but I hate having to sit at work in my hard chair and be surrounded by the cold, with no blankets or pillows,” the alpha complained as he wrapped his arms around Akaashi’s middle, hands resting on his growing belly, and rested his head on his shoulder. His hands rubbed where they sat and Akaashi sighed softly, making Bokuto smile. The stretching skin was annoying. “And...I don’t get kisses all day. Or cuddles.”

“I don’t get any kisses either,” Akaashi argued and moved away a bit (reluctantly. He liked his tummy rubs) so he could lift up the waffle maker to check up on his food. “You could always ask work to give you some leeway. You do have a very pregnant omega at home. I could get Sugawara-san to write you a note saying that it’s beneficial to the baby’s health.”

“Well, I thought that it was obvious that it was beneficial. How will I bond with my two faves?” Bokuto rose an eyebrow and pressed a kiss to his neck. “Besides, it’s beneficial to my health too,” he added, voice lowering. His hands followed suit and Akaashi just smacked them away.

“None of that, now.” The omega continued with food and shooed him away. “Go sit. I’m almost done with dinner.”

Bokuto did move but the alpha still pouted. “Breakfast in bed?” He asked and batted his eyes at his mate, hoping to look convincing. Akaashi just thought he looked silly.

“No. You’ll get syrup on the blanket and I just washed it.”

Bokuto pouted more. “It’s not fair, I want to be able to do things in bed, too!”

Akaashi just gave him a bit of a smile and kissed his cheek. “I know. But until you get to be the one who is pregnant, I get to do whatever I want.” Akaashi patted his cheek and practically shoved him out of the kitchen. When Bokuto turned, still pouting, it made the omega sigh. He didn’t realize he would have to care for two children at once and so soon. “Tell you what. If you can set up the air mattress, get some old blankets and sheets to make a nest, pop in a movie and be down in your pajamas by the time I’m done cooking, we can eat in the living room on the inflatable.”

Bokuto’s pout turned into a grin and he smiled nice and wide. “You are always so soft on me. I knew I could get you to see it my way-” he bragged but Akaashi promptly interrupted him.

“Dinner will be done in fifteen minutes. Have it ready or we sit at the table.”

And like that, his alpha was gone in a flash to begin preparations.

[rollychan]

Mwahaha...you asked for it. OK 2, 3, 6, 7, 9 oh man this is a lot 16, 31, 32, 33 uhhhh shoot 36, 39, 40, 44 you know what fuck it just do the whole damn list man (ps I can totes send you a shorter list this is ridiculous I just started reading the list of questions and this happened I'm so sorry)

Oh boy, I wasn’t expecting any asks on that meme anymore lol But I really wanted to do that one so thanks

Answers under the cut (bc I’m nice and won’t make everyone scroll down endlessly to finally get past this post just because I can’t keep it short for the life of me lol)

2. Favorite genre of fic?

I’m sorry that I’m so boring, but I have to say romance lol (because the right romance fics are so much better than most published romance novels). But I also love love love some other plot in it. Actually, I don’t think I really have a set favourite genre? Whatever speaks to me, basically? Many of my favourite fics aren’t really all that similar to each other. But I guess since I’m looking for romance stuff the most, it’s romance.

3. Favorite fandom? 

Another tough question because I am so very indecisive, I can’t have a favourite fandom. I love many fandoms. I mean, I guess I’d have to say Harry Potter because somehow, I’m always coming back to it because there are just so many quality fic in there if you know where to look. It’s kind of also kind of one of my very first fandoms and now I’ve been in it for so long, I can’t just abandon it lol

Just fandom-wise I really really love Haikyuu because that fandom is just so nice? I mean, I’m not all that involved in any fandom I guess, which is why I miss many things and conflicts (e.g. I only found out about all the drama in the MCU fandom re Iron Man vs Cap or the drama in the Teen Wolf fandom through people I follow lol), but the worst I have witnessed in Haikyuu is how some people gave thought-out arguments (without insults) why one character is or is not coded as a “villain” type character (there was/is a dispute about one character because some hate/dislike him and others defend him). And that’s it. Other than that it’s mostly “OMG I LOVE EVERY CHARACTER AND SHIP EVERYTHING” from almost everyone in that fandom lol (or “I don’t care what you ship as long as you let me ship my stuff, ship and let ship”). It’s just really chill. It’s also the fandom that really made me a poly-shipper. Idk, man, I love that fandom.

The Yuri!!! on ice fandom is also really nice. Those people sure like to discuss and explain things lol Also, almost everyone had, literally, the same reactions to the stuff happening in it. Plus, we got a healthy, loving, explicit same-sex relationship in an anime. That’s, like, a really rare thing. The only other genre-anime I know with an explicit same-sex kind-of-relationship is No. 6, and that relationship is so friggin far from healthy it’s not funny (sorry, NezuShi fans, I am a fan of them too, but their relationship throughout the entirety of the series is not healthy by any standard, which is totally explainable by the circumstances, but seriously, they’ll have a lot of growing up to do before it can be called healthy). Anyway, I digress.

6. Favorite fic (or one of them)? 

HOW CAN YOU ASK ME FOR JUST ONE

I shall give you MORE THAN ONE, because I can and I will.

Okay, so, first I just have to tell you about my first absolute favourite fic ever, which, I’m really sorry, but it’s in German and it’s a Yu-Gi-Oh! fic lol

It’s “Paw Prints - Pfotenabdrücke” by someone I’m actually following on here ( @goldandcold ) who is an amazing and talented writer and I really have to read stuff by her again asdfghjkl but atm I’m into very different fandoms and just *cries* I need more time so I can watch the stuff she’s watching and writing for lol can someone, like, gift me a hundred free hours? lol

Anyway, that fic has character death in it, which is something I usually avoid at all costs because I know myself and I know I’ll be depressed about it for at least a week if I read character death. I’m like that lol

But I did because I always make exceptions for writers I like. Well, it became my favourite fic, so I guess I can’t complain. I will always remember the last words in there

“Du bist quer über mein Herz gelaufenwie ein kleiner tollpatschiger Hund über nassen Sandund du hast überall deine Pfotenabdrücke hinterlassen”

which roughly translates to

“You walked across my heartlike a little clumsy dog across wet sandand you’ve left your paw prints everywhere”

asdfghjkl I just love those words, they resonated with me so much and asdfghjk *flails* yeah, first fave fic. (also, now I’m in nostalgia land)

Another favourite fic I love to come back to is “Eclipse” by mijan (Harry Potter this time, back then I read it on fictionalley, but the link doesn’t seem to work atm? Is fictionalley down?). I am still entranced every time I read it and whenever I start it I have to continue reading till the end because I just love it so much. The plot is so amazingly intricate and the character development is THE FRIGGING BEST I CAN’T and everything makes so much sense and asdfghjkl it is just very amazing ok. The amount of detail in that story *sigh* *must resist reading it now before all the exams*

Another two favourite Harry Potter fics are “All Our Secrets Laid Bare” and “Stop All the Clocks”, both by @firethesound. AOSLB is just amazing all around, okay, I even reblogged a rec for it here on tumblr (here). I just love it so very much omg *flails* The idea alone to make them investigate Death Eater safe houses and all the FRIGGING DETAILS IN IT!!!!!! THE DETAILS!!!! SO MUCH LOVE!!!! (yes the exclamation marks are necessary)

I wrote a rec myself for Stop All the Clocks here. Weirdly, it also has major character death in it. But, same as above, I do make exceptions for writers I really like. That fic destroyed me though. I absolutely love the parallels in that fic, too. And how it spans many years. Just. Very beautiful, very touching, very sad. Which is why it’s great that there is AOSLB. I also still have to read all the other fics because I just KNOW they’re ALL amazing

And I’m still not done with the fave fics, guys. I’m sorry I can’t keep it short *cough*

Moving away from Harry Potter... the next one is for Free! Anime again lol It’s, weirdly, another fic that doesn’t end all that happily for the romance, and the fic is “With Vega At Your Left” by threesmallcrows. It’s a different take on a soulmate AU. Like, when the person you’re in love with isn’t your soulmate. A side character also deals with an abusive soulmate. Basically, everything that can go wrong with soulmate marks. And it’s just so real. Trigger warning for attempted suicide though (and mentioned abuse - like, the abuser doesn’t appear in the fic and the abuse is only talked about and the repercussions dealt with, but nothing explicit). I love this fic a lot, but it gives me the sads.

Okay, I still have a few favourite fics but I think I need to stop here, I’ll just link to them:

The Fears are Paper Owls by yaboykeiji (Haikyuu!! Akaashi does time jumps to try to prevent Bokuto’s death - kinda like Butterfly Effect)

Savior by dgalerab (Haikyii!! / X-Men crossover - Haikyuu characters as mutants)

Safety in Silence by survivah (Teen Wolf canon divergent soulmate AU with the soulmate “condition” not necessarily being reciprocated, lots of Sterek pining and friendship and angst, really slow-burn and really sweet and cute, very fluffy too, awesome idea to make it different for different species! Also, werewolves and other species are known to humans etc)

Gravity’s Got Nothing on You by FairyLights101 (Teen Wolf Sterek pretend to be dating AU, also the-Hales-survived AU and Laura is an important character in that fic, and because the Hales survived, Allison also lives, double yay)

Seven Deaths by x-parrot (One Piece, no pairings (le gasp!), just Zorro+Sanji friendship, there’s violence (torture) in it, it’s not very explicit, but be warned)

Aaand I think I’ll stop here.

7. One-shots or longfic? 

I think, if you look at my favourite fics, you have the answer lol. Many of them are 100k+, so yeah, longfic lol I love the development that is possible in longfics. I do like shorter fic too, though in my mind, one-shot just means it’s all in one chapter... and there are 20k one-chapter fics out there, you know. But! I do also like short stuff, it just doesn’t really end up being among my favourites.

9. What is the longest fic you’ve read? 

Tbh, I don’t remember, but Eclipse is over 287k words long, and I’m not sure if I’ve read anything longer than that.

16. How do you feel about character death in fic? 

I think I’ve answered that somewhere in that novel above lol

Usually, I avoid it like the plague because I get the sads and am down for days afterwards. It’s not that I think those fics are bad or anything. It’s just that I want happy endings lol My heart can’t take too much sad. This doesn’t change even when I make exceptions, so that’s kind of the downside I have to live with when I do lol

In published novels and movies and series etc I don’t mind character death, but fic... well, fic are different lol

31. Do you read AUs? 

Yes! I used to avoid them, but then I guess some fic changed my mind lol I really love all them tropes, soulmate AUs, fake-dating AUs, police procedural AUs, you name it. For some weird reason I’m not all gung-ho about coffeeshop AUs. I don’t mind them, and I’ll read them if they’re good, but they seem kinda boring to me. (oh, and pls don’t come with a/b/o stuff at me, it squicks me immensely and I hate it)

32. Favorite AU tropes? 

Fake dating! Soulmates! Specifically for Teen Wolf: Allison lives! The-Hales-Survived! Idk, there are too many lol Well, my fave is still the platonic bed sharing one (not sure if that counts as an AU trope, since it could also be written in non-AU fics). I also seem to like time travel / time jumps / time manipulation.

33. Least favorite AU tropes?

A/B/O fics. I just hate them and I don’t even wanna see them, they squick me *shudder* I mean, to each their own, and I wish it at least wouldn’t squick me that much (it’s a physiological reaction, I get the creeps and it’s almost like I feel one step away from nausea - same feeling I get when I see reader x character fic, squicks me too and is the sole reason I never visit the teen wolf tag because it’s full of those), but it does.

36. Do you like crossovers? If so, favorite crossover? 

I do! But I’m kinda still new to them and they’re not my favourite thing, so I haven’t read many crossover fics yet. I really like that X-Men crossover fic I linked to, and I do like Harry Potter crossovers (like, the other characters as witches and wizards in a wizarding school). Other than that I’ve also read a really cool Criminal Minds/House MD crossover once, and a Criminal Minds/Supernatural one too, and they’re pretty cool. Guess I still have to figure out what I particularly like when it’s about crossovers.

39. Favorite AU fic? 

Savior by dgalerab, as I’ve already linked above :D

This is also the fic that really got me into poly ships. The relatioship between the four characters just feels so natural as it develops, it feels like that’s how it should be. It also deals with past abuse and there is 120% consent invovled. It’s just a really good fic ok

40. Do you like fluff?

OMG I LIVE FOR FLUFF

So, yeah, I do lol I mean, I do need other stuff in it too, but I absolutely do like fics that aren’t too serious and where the conflicts aren’t life-or-death or heavy on the angst etc. Like, slice of life kind of stuff.

44. How fluffy is too fluffy? 

There is never a too fluffy +_+

Okay, jokes aside, I do want a plot. A story isn’t a story when there’s no conflict, so that’s that. Though that’s the only requirement for me, really lol Otherwise it can be as fluffy as it gets.

I hope I haven’t forgotten anything lol

Rolly out
