CHAPTER TWO IS NOW LIVE! 

[foxufortunes]

From: unknown number you’ve been invited to a monsters ball lucky you rabbit

Finally, the fic is out, A Monsters' Ball the pro-exy team MSBY Black Jackals (ft Andreil and some rabbits). Details like team line up and positions, alt jerseys, layers and some backstories beneath the cut.

So, our team line up and some details (and yes, I do have a colour coded spreadsheet to keep track of all this, which Neil and Sakusa constantly mess up by being the wrong year for their age bc they're babies, but ages are rough because no everyone has a declared birthday/age) with some art breaks between:

#4 Captain Meian Shuugo - 29, backliner, 5yrs MSBY, 5yrs college, from one of the country's best high school teams, 1 season as captain, trying really hard to be mature and not find everyone's antics funny, eternal rival to Hirugami Fukurou, captain of the champions, the Alders.

#20 V.Captain Hirugami Shouko - 26, backliner, 2yrs MSBY, 5yrs college, from another top high school, middle child of 2 pro-exy players (two of the earliest adopters before it got big, probably ppl who went to uni with Tetsuji and Kayleigh), younger sister of Alders captain Fukurou, joined the Jackals out of desire to say fuck you to her older brother.

#2 Amani Kanoka - 23, striker, rookie MSBY, 5yrs college, from a private all girls high school that became the best in the country, known as the Queens of Exy, very shy, has a lot of confidence issues, that she handles by being the best on court.

#5 Nathaniel Wesninski - 24, striker, MSBY rookie, 1yr Baltimore Wildcats, 4.5 yrs EAU Ravens, 0.5yrs PSU Foxes, joined the Foxes after only a year playing in a nowhere team but was quickly poached by the Ravens at Christmas that year and was a regular member the team the next year under his real name, very flighty, big fan of secrets, no idea how to handle the Jackals' chaos (they're like the Foxes but without the trauma).

#12 Bokuto Koutarou - 24, striker, 1yr MSBY, 5yrs college, one of the top 5 strikers in Japan in high school, another top high school team, ultimate himbo, might have committed tax fraud, has a word of the day calendar he's trying really hard to use properly, known for super sharp angle shots and for just bodying people and the ball.

#15 Sakusa Kiyoomi - 22, striker, rookie MSBY, 5yrs college, championship highschool team several yrs running, one of the top 3 strikers in Japan in high school, collegiate MVP, Team Japan 2016 squad, Team Japan U19 rep, grumpy baby, very into properly folded handkerchiefs, do not touch, preferably do not interact outside of court, speak to him via his adorable cousin or not at all unless saving him from bugs.

Halfway through the team stats, time for some art. The Away Colours! Maybe the racquets change to white too, idk I couldn't be bothered to recolour them though.

Ok, back to the second half of the team:

#3 Andrew Minyard - 25, goalkeeper, 2yrs MSBY, 3yrs USC Trojans, 2yrs PSU Foxes, best goalkeeper and rookie awards during his rookie season, didn't really tell anyone his plans after university just kind of vanished, only told a handful of people he'd signed for a team, Neil thought he was dead, he has a motorcycle now because city traffic is awful on his sports cars and the stadium is walking distance, sometimes plays defensive dealer.

#6 Inunaki Shion - 26, goalkeeper, 4yrs MSBY, 3yrs college (dropped out to go pro), middling high school only competed nationally once, the vodka aunt of the team, here to get people drunk, instigate drama with the monsters and then sit back and laugh, actually very soft on the youngsters, tolerates stupid nicknames like Inu-san and Wan-san (never get tired of that being translated Mr Dog and Mr Woof).

#9 Adriah Tomas - 27, backliner, 1yr MSBY, a transfer from European leagues, surprisingly fast for his size, just happy to be here, comes across as a bit of an airhead, but is usually right next to Inunaki instigating chaos and then pretending he doesn't understand the language enough to know what happened.

#10 Oliver Barnes - 30, backliner, 2yr MSBY, Team USA 2016/2012 Olympic squads, transfer from America, big friendly softie, dad of the team, actual dad of a 5yo girl, starting to consider retirement into coaching so is happy to spend the end of his elite career with these idiots.

#13 Miya Atsumu - 23, offensive dealer, 5yrs MSBY, Team Japan 2016 Olypmic squad, Team Japan U19 rep, from a top high school, considered the best dealer in Japan in high school, signed straight from high school, a particularly offensive dealer, easily doubles as striker, all rounder (all Jackals are all rounders but the dealers in particular), demanding and thoughtless jerk but not trying to be nasty, can come across as arrogant but is the first to accept his own mistakes.

#21 Hinata Shouyou - 22, defensive dealer, MSBY rookie, 2yrs playing street exy in Brazil, middling high school team on the rise, player backliner in high school despite wanting to be a striker, but learned to play all positions in Brazil, sometimes move position based on what team they're facing, general ray of sunshine, obsessed with exy, does meditation and yoga in the sunrise preferably on a beach.

Ok, team done, have some more art because yes, I did layer these team pics up slowly from the base dri-fit layers to the armour/padding to the jerseys.

The Jackals provide uniform everything from base layers to padding to anything like compression sleeves, knee/arm pads and everything else. Armour is provided by them to ensure it's up to regulation and team standards, the Jackals require some kind of shoulder padding (most of the team has detachable shoulder pads, while Bokuto and Sakusa who prefer more shoulder rotation and just more coverage respectively, where seperate bicep/shoulder pads). I've talked more about armour on older wip posts, but they're based on lacrosse chest pads. Brief version: strikers were shorter, around the vitals, backliners generally are longer on the sides to protect the ribs, goalies have more coverage because duh, and dealers wear whatever they like. Every single one has either hollow rigid or extra padded piece over the centre of the chest because, especially in younger players, a ball to the chest can stop your heart.

And there we go!

[zentriii]

atsumu obnoxiously refers to MSBY as the BJs the day he learns what it means in english, and sakusa tries to strangle him for it at some point

[flyingwargle]

sakusa wasn't sure what to expect when bokuto invited them over for movies and drinks, but it certainly wasn't this.

his one-bedroom apartment is spacious, kitchen separated from the living room, bathroom large enough for a tub that can fit a professional athlete. it isn't very cluttered, but dust still clings to the shelves where framed photos and accolades are lined. sakusa inspects them while hinata and atsumu drop off their 7-eleven haul, joining him shortly. "nice pictures ya got, bokkun," atsumu calls out, summoning the spiker.

"thanks! i just had to bring a few with me to osaka. it helps with the homesickness."

"hm? hey, wait a minute..." hinata picks one up. "isn't this..." he holds it toward sakusa, eyes widening. "it's omi-san!"

"hah? no way. lemme see." atsumu leans over, blinking at the picture and then at sakusa, who simply stares back in confusion. "holy crap, yer right."

"it's the moles, right?" hinata nods. "they're iconic."

sakusa plucks the photo from him. "what are you talking about?" the moment he registers the photo, a scowl spreads on his face, and he turns to bokuto. "you kept this?"

"hey, i had fun that day! you just happened to be in the picture." bokuto grins, oblivious to their clueless teammates.

"wanna give us some context?" atsumu asks.

bokuto slings an arm around sakusa. “sakkun and i are childhood friends! we’ve known each other since our little league days.”

the photo, in question, depicts them as kids. bokuto has an arm around sakusa, whose glower contrasts his toothy grin. they're wearing black shorts and red t-shirts with the japanese flag.

“an’ neither of ya bothered to mention this…?” atsumu raises an eyebrow.

they exchange looks and shrugs. "it never came up," sakusa says.

"we never went to the same school or anything," bokuto adds, "but we played in the same league, went to the same volleyball camps...heck, my dad picked him and komo-kun up a lot since their parents were busy. komo-kun was supposed to be here with us-" he gestures at the photo. "-but he, what? broke his arm?"

"rolled his ankle."

"yeah! sakkun’s dad left him alone and he got lost, but i found him and..."

--

their little league was chosen to escort the athletes of the japan national team for an exhibition match against spain. motoya was most excited about it, but the day before, he rolled his ankle and couldn't walk. that meant sakusa had to deal with the crowds, noise, and unfamiliarity by himself.

he didn’t need motoya, he thought to himself on the way to the stadium. all he had to do was walk with whichever player he was paired with, sit with his teammates during the match, and then wait for his dad to pick him up. it was going to be fine.

until he saw the sheer amount of people milling inside and outside. he almost started crying.

his dad dropped him off, not bothering to bring him inside. sakusa was tempted to run off and find a bench to hide until it was time to leave, but he promised motoya that he'd be fine. plus, it was his duty, as a little league athlete. he had to do it.

except there were so many people who were much bigger than him, and he couldn't understand the signs. it was also overwhelmingly loud, and the stifling air made it difficult to breathe. he kept running into things, dizzy and confused. he nearly broke down in tears until–

"sakkun?"

he flinched when a hand touched his shoulder. bokuto stood in front of him, blinking his owlish eyes, voice soft when he asked, “are you okay?”

sakusa couldn’t reply, throat dry. bokuto’s dad – their coach – crouched at his eye level. “did you get dropped off by yourself?” he asked.

a nod. coach let out a tiny sigh. “let’s go together, then. when we’re inside, you can sit and rest. koutarou, hold his hand.”

“okay!” bokuto released him and offered his other hand to sakusa. “you hold onto dad, and i’ll hold onto you! that way, we’ll stick together.”

sakusa would never voluntarily take anyone’s hand, but he was too overwhelmed to care. hands clutched by his coach and bokuto, they entered the venue, and before long, he was guided to a bench and given a bottle of water. bokuto sat next to him, respectfully quiet. he usually never shut up, which was why sakusa stayed away from him, but in that moment, he was grateful for his presence.

he didn't know how much time elapsed before bokuto jumped to his feet and turned to him. "we're gonna go out soon," he says. "you wanna go wash your hands?"

"okay." this time, sakusa followed behind him to the nearest washroom, where they both got ready and washed their hands before returning to the entrance corridor.

the familiar faces of his teammates brought him relief, but it morphed quickly into anxiety when the jnt athletes appeared, large and impossibly tall. sakusa felt his throat seize up, but then he felt a hand on his shoulder. bokuto nodded at him in reassurance, and sakusa turned to the athlete that approached him. he took his hand, and waited for their cue to walk out.

--

“i don’t remember who i escorted or the match,” sakusa says. they’d moved to the couch, a bag of chips open on the table. “i do remember you lost your voice from shouting so much.”

bokuto laughs. “yeah, i was so excited! we got a bunch of candy afterwards too, and we had our picture taken. that’s when my dad took this.” he holds up the photo, again. “i had a lot of fun that day, but you looked like you hated it.”

“i didn’t hate it. i was overwhelmed, and…” sakusa runs a hand through his curls. “you helped a lot. i never thanked you for it.”

“it’s fine! it’s because of that my dad started picking you and komo-kun up more. he hated that your parents didn’t do it properly.” it continued even after they outgrew the little league and joined other clubs, eventually stopping when they became old enough to attend games and camps alone. “who knew we’d end up playing on the same team again, huh?”

“it’s like the two of you were fated to play together!” hinata chirps. “like me and kageyama are fated to be rivals!”

sakusa glances at the photo again. he received a copy of it a few days later, which he kept in his desk drawer. the thought of playing with bokuto again never crossed his mind, only the thought of returning to the center court and playing under those stadium lights.

but now that they’re seated together in his apartment, teammates for one of the top div. 1 teams in japan, it isn’t an unwelcomed thought. “who would’ve thought, indeed.”

WIP Word Search Tag Game

got tagged by @thyandrawrites to search my wips for these 5 words! they're all from various haikyuu wips :D (i actually found all of them in a single wip but i decided that was boring so they're all from different wips. and ones that i've looked at relatively recently, too!)

Rules: search for the words given by whomever tagged you within your wip(s) and post them for us to see! Then tag as many people as you want and give them five words to find in their works.

QUESTION

Tobio is woken by a soft knock at his bedroom door. He cracks his eyes open, disoriented, and squints blearily at the blue light of his bedside alarm clock for a few seconds before sitting up. There’s a question on his lips, but he does not ask it. His tongue is dry and stuck to his teeth, but he does not reach for the cup of water on his night stand. He doesn’t, because he can already guess the answer to his unspoken question. He doesn’t, because Miwa stands in the doorway, blocking the light of the hallway. It casts her face in shadow, but Tobio knows by her posture that her expression is like water below the frozen surface of a lake; a forced calm, because any crack in the ice and she’ll fall through. She’s saying something, but all Tobio hears is muffled words behind a roaring in his ears, and it’s like he’s sinking underwater, or like the ocean rising up to swallow him.

GAZE

“You know what I think?” Osamu asked. “I think you need to get out of the city.”

Just then the bell above the door jingled. Osamu’s gaze flicked up, and a smile broke across his face. “Kita-san! You have no idea how perfect your timing is!”

Keiji stood up to leave, but Osamu grabbed his sleeve and tugged him back down. 

"Kita-san, are ya still lookin' for help?"

"Hello, Osamu," Kita said. There was a sack of rice over his shoulder. He set it on the counter and wiped his brow. "Sorry, I didn't quite hear you. What was it you just asked?"

"I think I solved your little problem!” Osamu gestured to Keiji.

Kita observed Keiji. Keiji observed Kita. Osamu grinned between them, like he’d solved world hunger.

REAL

“Godzilla…”

He glanced at Oikawa, to confirm he wasn’t dreaming. Or hallucinating. Oikawa was smiling triumphantly, so it was probably real life. 

Hajime looked back at the massive Godzilla-shaped Christmas tree. It was at least fifty feet tall, strung with lights, and the most beautiful thing Hajime had ever seen.

Hajime fished his phone out of his pocket and shoved it into Oikawa’s hand without tearing his gaze away from Godzilla. “Take my picture,” he ordered, and then he climbed over the velvet security rope.

“Iwa-chan where are you–”

“I want to touch it!” Hajime shouted over his shoulder.

SILENCE

“I’d like to own a plot of land like this someday,” Shinsuke said, breaking the comfortable silence that had settled over them. “Fix it up, turn it into something sustainable, maybe build a house.”

“Sounds like loads of work,” Atsumu said, trying to imagine the dedication it would take to turn the dead fields into fertile land. 

Shinsuke leaned into Atsumu and slipped his fingers in between Atsumu’s. “That’s what makes it worthwhile, I reckon. Seein’ the land change before your eyes, knowin’ you’re the one helpin’ it along.”

LAUGH

Atsumu realized he’d been staring too long and took a sip of his coffee as he made his way over to Sakusa’s cruiser. It wasn’t great coffee, not like the stuff Osamu had at the diner, but it did its job. 

“Want some?” he asked, holding the mug out to Sakusa just to see what kind of face he’d make. The prince didn’t disappoint. His face scrunched up in disgust as he leaned away. Atsumu laughed. “I’ll take that as a no.”

He set the mug down on the floor of the cruiser, earning another disgusted look from Sakusa, then climbed inside. The delicate two-seater rocked with his weight, sloshing the coffee, but the anchor held firm. Atsumu bent over to pick up his mug. There was a little ring of coffee left behind on the floor

“Why do you insist on being such a slob?” Sakusa asked. “Do you take joy in pissing people off?”

Atsumu put a hand over his heart. “You wound me, Omi-Omi. And yes, I do take joy in pissing people off. Gives me a good idea of who’s worth my time.”

NOW SEEING: FOUR PEAS IN TWO PODS IN ONE BIG POD

prev. | m.list | next

extras <3

hinata and bokuto named the gc! they're like two peas in a pod. super close and an absolute bundle of joy. they do NOT need a therapist because they have each other (NOT to say those kind of people can't have/need a therapist but these two are cruising. they are happy and they love their lives and friends <3) and atsumu often joins their antics but is also always looking out for omi (the other 2 peas in another pod LMAO). them being msby4 is the "one big pod"

although hinata and bokuto don't need a therapist they DO see iwaizumi (27, athletic trainer, beautiful man) religiously just to bother him. they will barge into his office and lay on the floor and kick their feet and tell him about how good his exercise plans are while he's trying his best to work on his computer

their group pretty much follows what's canon! they all play for msby <3 if i had to note any deviations, i'd juat say say that omi's having a little trouble mental health wise xxx

not sure if they're exactly canon in terms of age :)) but also i can't math for the life of me and i don't think their ages really matters for this fic LMAO they're all above 21 though

atsumu also sees y/n for therapy around every other week. it mainly has to do with stress that's built up over time for him; feeling so much pressure as the setter of his team

he loves what he does, but being such a well known volleyball player since high school and having such high expectations as surrounding him all the time was taking a toll on him and he felt like he needed some extra support :)

and he likes talking to y/n <3 he was good friends with her and omi in high school before the two got distant. atsumu stayed close friends with omi but he sort of lost contact with y/n

omi's not sure why him and y/n drifted apart. he was too scared to bring it up or say anything and just let it happened

y/n was definitely someone in his life that calmed him. ever since they split up, he's been a bit more antsy than usual because he's never been able to click with someone like he did with her again. atsumu's noticed this and isn't sure why they drifted apart but he's determined to have then meet again because he knows omi still thinks about her :)

omi's name for atsumu is just "ugh" bc it's how he feels everytime he gets a notification from him <3 they love each other don't let omi's attitude fool u he's just grumpy

Working on msby4 x reader fic right now and AHHHH MY GOD, if you're underage, DO. NOT. READ IT. please. I think it's going to have a lot of filth in it so PLEASE protect your mind and don't end up like me 🙂 Just one more thing, don't judge me for this, I think anyone would want to be reader 🙄

[starglossie]

eight percent summary:

On March 7, 8% of the population mutated into Metahumans. out of that 8%, only four men became The Jackals-an elite mercenary group of Metas created to work in the shadows to protect the city of Sendai.

chapter 5 preview:

“Sho,” came out quiet and wretched. Hinata’s eyes snapped upwards and finally, their gazes caught and Atsumu saw an electrical storm flicker in Hinata’s eyes. Before he could stop himself, Atsumu reached out, fingers twitching, nearly reaching Hinata’s cheek and then… Hinata grabbed his hand. A sign to stop. A sign not to get too close or face electrocution. Hinata knew Atsumu would take lightning down his spine for him; so why stop him from being the lightning rod he always was?

[alexbutrandomthoughts]

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "alexbutrandomthoughts "?

"I was screaming your name through the radio" by ElectricSplatter a must-read for all soukoku fans, this shit is so good i reread it 20 times at least.

It's basically bsd retelling but they're all singers and it's focused on soukoku. Honestly writing is immaculate and i like the way it was told, format wise, like how we jump back in forth from present to past, and overall it has everything you could want from a story. I have this one saved on my phone and i reread my favorite chapters from time to time

"Time Speaks" by SmallMoon333 do not get fooled by that unassuming title, this fic made me physically incapable of reading any other Lawlight fic, bc this one is just too good. It's akin to trying a high quality steak and unable to eat any other meat anymore bc you know how heaven tastes (i obviously read other fics, they're pretty good too, but this one is just my personal favorite especially the characterization is so fucking good it's crazy)

"Electric touch" by bejeweledhaze okay so you know the feeling when you need something very specific, you go to store, and the stars align perfectly so you find that thing, just what you need it, almost feels like custom made. That's this fic.

So when Kaveh fans died (myself included) after that one official art with Kaveh as a mechanic, i just needed to fill the whole in my chest, after saving every single Mechanic Kaveh fanart known to men. I decided check out the tag, but i didn't really expect much, i mean it's been like what? Couple days since the official art was dropped. Sure there is probably couple of fics but not something i would like, right? Bejeweledhaze said "lemme cook" and turns out they were Gordon Ramsey in disguise. One chapter, 33k words of pure and unfiltered masterpiece.

"School watches Assassination Classroom" by TheSteinsGateFormula so I'm a sucker characters react to their show fics. What of it.

Yeah there are not many reaction fics that i like cuz personal preferences. But THISSSSSSSSSSSS ugh so good. And very much in character and i loved from start to finish.

"MSBY4's Lockdown Survival Guide" by mintberries

Okay so this was just good vibes. Social media aus fics for me is what Isekai is for Gigguk (but I'm also isekai trash person, their just fun) and this is ALSO a covid19 au???? With my favorite team????? This appeased my sakuatsu craving soul and it was just dumbasses having fun.

"Duo Heroes, Double Black" by Yellow_Canna

It's bsd&mha crossover and it's beast!soukoku isekai/sorta reincarnation/technically regression do i need to say more

"No Water Is Enough" by Boomchick

Hualian angst, my favorite type of angst. It's sorta memory loss and i knew the suffering would be glorious once Hua Cheng remembered and it did not disappoint

"Pick-Up and Chase" by SKayLanphear was laughing my ass off with this fic. Marinette just constantly flirting with Adrien as herself and as Ladybug was a wild and hilarious ride

"one step at a time" by OuterWilde (foreverraugust)

Honestly, this was just good old slice of life and overall nice fic. I was obsessed with Ace Attorney at the time, and well with all the crazy shit that was happening in the games, this was a nice break from it.

"A Century Between Us" by Dulllull dead ass my favorite jjk fic. It's not finished, not by a long shot but it's so GOOOOD SHIT SLAPS SO HARD and well it's reincarnation fic how can i not love it and written so WELLLLL PLEASE READ THIS IT'S VERY AAAAAAAAAAA-

As for my name, originally i migrated from Twitter cuz fuck Elon, and had another blog which had my name and this was a side blog for me to scream about my hyperfixations, whichever i would have at the time and i ended up using this one more lol. Hence the "random thoughts"

[flyingwargle]

bokuaka fanfic recommendations!

truth is such a violent force by inaminute teen. 8 chapters, 41k. it starts with akaashi's 1st year at fukurodani and explores his dysfunctional family, growing relationship with bokuto, and deals with homophobia. i love the fukurodani boys in this, and how supportive they are of one another. there's also a sequel that is just as heart-wrenching as this one! (both have happy endings, don't worry)

flightless owl by volleydorkscentral teen. 31 chapters, 57.6k words. bokuto gravely injures his leg and has to sit the rest of his third year out. this fic focuses on his recovery, his relationship with akaashi developing, and overcoming the pain of his injury. has a happy ending, as well!

the way you look at me by mocaw teen. 36 chapters, 79.2k words. bokuto sees train guy every night on his commute after practice until he decides to take the first step and introduce himself. this fic is the reason why i ship bokuaka. it's slowburn, deals with anxiety and ptsd, developing relationships, and is just beautifully written (i am also extremely biased because this shaped my undergrad years). please read it, i'm begging you.

the death of our hands by bershlate teen. 25 chapters, 109k words. this longfic explores akaashi's ocd, his dysfunctional family, and an amazing oc older brother, along with his relationship with bokuto. i read this recently and finished it in a few days because of how gripping the story is <3

i'll let you shatter me with your pain by kuromantic teen. 23 chapters, 160.4k words. akaashi is an empath and when he brushes against bokuto, he gets the biggest shock of emotions of his life. this fic is very heavy, dealing with abuse, malnutrition, trauma, and homophobia. it has a happy ending, and our boys do get together <3

i'll reblog this from time to time to add more recs as i keep reading! of course, feel free to check out my own bokuaka fics >:3 i might post more?? for other pairings and general recs?? and for genshin too since i have a lot there haha okay enjoy bye!

eight percent | chapter 15

“We’ve been friends since we entered MSBY. Fought together. Nearly died together a million times. You know all my horrible secrets and I know yours. You’ve loved me in a way that I don’t think anyone else will ever come close to imitating. You love me so hard it suffocates me. But I find I don’t care. I’ll choke. I’ll be smothered if it’s underneath you. I’ve been pinned by your gravity and that is nothing—nothing compared to the weight of your love. I feel it. I don’t know what to do with it.” “I don’t deserve your love,” Hinata muttered. Weak, broken, wrecked.
