fic recs masterlist pt 2

So here's a part two to my first fic rec list because I thought the first list was too long to add more or I've only read them more recently

Haikyuu!

you're all i see, you're all i need by DailyMelody: iwaoi fic where iwaizumi lies to his family that he and oikawa are dating and he slowly realizes they haven't been faking their feelings, nsfw in the last chapter

Sprout, Bloom, Grow by SpaceJammie: matsuhana and iwaoi fic from the perspective of matsukawa, this is probably my fav hq I'm keeping up with rn, the characterizations and story are so deep and well written, unfinished

Let the Light Out by UhohShouto: post canon kagehina fic where kageyama realizes he's super into hinata and they make a bet that leads to them smooching and doing much more, nsfw

what i really mean by solyn: kuroken fic where they're both sort of clueless about their feelings while everyone else around them knows they're in love, nsfw

it drives you crazy getting old by atsumusbiceps: a sakuatsu 13 Going On 30 au that's absolutely adorable, omi is in love from the beginning but atsumu thinks being angry and attracted to someone is normal

Gray in the Middle. by DeadDrabble (MisakillDatMonkey): crazy good sunaosa fic where suna is a model and osamu is his new assistant, the development of their friendship while osamu slowly gets to see the real suna and coming to see the toxicity of the fashion industry, unfinished, future nsfw

Sakusa Kiyoomi's Short and Unhelpful Guide To Falling In Love by honest_pebble: sakuatsu fic where omi asks for atsumu to kiss one drunken night and they can't seem to keep their hands off each other in the months after

i pretend you're mine, all the damn time by theglitterati: bokuaka high school fic where bokuto is nervous about his lack of experience when a girl asks him out so he asks akaashi to help him learn how to kiss, very cute and silly

sleeping with strangers by starbeyy: kagehina fic where kageyama is a lawyer that's afraid of attachment and only sleeps with strangers until he gets an extremely cute client that makes him less afraid, nsfw in later chapters

Take a hint by badreputation: sunaosa fic where suna doesn't realize osamu is trying to woo him and is just an oblivious dummy

i sing the body electric by viverella: iwaoi getting together fic where iwaizumi beings to realize he doesn't have entirely platonic feelings about his best friend

dearly departed by radiantradish: daisuga ghost au where suga is stuck in limbo while he's in a coma and daichi is a firefighter that keeps dreaming about him

Winter is Red by MeikoAtsushi: technically this is the sunaosa spin-off to their original sakuatsu fic but the premise is that osamu can see the red threads of fate that tie soulmates together but he doesn't have one and falls in love with suna anyway, this fic is fucking PAINFUL because osamu is determined to make his life miserable and try to push suna away but he can never stay away for long, nsfw

the posterior probablity by izayas: sakuatsu au where omi is a professor and atsumu is an m.d. who's taking his class and they fall in love lol

SunKissed by Paintbrushyy_Ducky98: bokuaka fic where akaashi's family's new pool boy is really cute and he sort of seems familiar... nsfw

favor from the boy you can't resist by crossbelladonna: bokuaka fic where bokuto asks akaashi to be his fake boyfriend and things go as well as you'd expect

Miles by lettersinpetals: kuroken post canon/during chapter 402.1 fic where kuroo is very aware of his love for kenma but is convinced kenma doesn't feel the same

Night Moves by fluorophoring: kuroken fic where they just keep hooking up at night without actually dating or discussing their feelings, heavy nsfw

What to Do (to You) by Mooifyourecows: iwaoi fic where matsuhana set them up on a blind date despite already being roommates and having crushes on each other, nsfw

take me the way i am by almostsophie1: kuroken fic where kuroo wants to know if kenma is willing to have sex with him just to "practice", nsfw obviously

spill my guts by wasted: bokuaka fic where akaashi is a massive pining simp and doesn't know what to do about his crush

Legend Has It by sifuhotman: sunaosa crime au??? i literally think about this fic all the time and how it's not finished, such an interesting plot with osamu as a detective and suna is a con artist who has connections to some underground crime syndicates, the last chapter posted legit made me cry, i really identify with osamu in this fic, nsfw in later chapters

Miscellaneous

Apple of Your Eye by Kattythingz: sk8 renga fic but it's if Adam became obsessed with Reki instead of Langa, highkey NUTS how good Adam's characterization is because you want to bash his skull in with a hammer

A Crown of Gems and Gold by Kattythingz: fma edling fic that's basically a rewrite of the entire series but if edling got together soon after their first meeting, the best characterization, action, and dialogue ever utilized in writing, unfinished but ongoing

Always an Angel, Never a God by oktsukki: jjk satosugu au where hidden inventory didn't end as bad as they did in canon, a lot of good healing and characterization

lights out by phollie: hxh killugon fic where killua is just very soft about gon as gon shows him around the island he grew up on

Sword of Damocles by orphan_account: mp100 terumob au fic where teruki asks mob out as a joke but he actually starts to fall for him

Do you have any favorite sk8 fics?

Oooookay! I have a BUNCH of SK8 fics I really love, so I'm just gonna pick just 5 from my bookmarks, because otherwise I will literally give you a list 40+ fics long.

I'll have you know that in going through my bookmarks for this list, I was kicking my feet and giggling going "Oh THIS one was good, and oh THIS one was good. Whoever curated this list has excellent taste."

After Your Heart Stops Rushing is a fic that takes place immediately post episode 12, with Reki and Langa decompressing after the funeral beef, talking about ~feelings~ and stuff (Reki feels insecure about Langa still wanting him after the adrenaline wears off). It's very tender and features confessions and the like.

just read my lips (they’re pretty loose) is a fic that takes place a little in the future. Langa and Miya are professional skaters and they're back from Tokyo for a visit. The basic story is that Reki has a praise kink and won't tell Langa, so in trying to figure it out, he asks every single member of the main cast. Most of them figure it out before him. Poor Reki, the secret's out. This fic is just full of details that scream love for every character and the whole show, and it's the first SK8 fic I ever fell in love with.

Honorifics is a fic about Langa hearing Reki call him Langa-kun to his sisters and deciding he wants to hear him say that all the time. Featuring adorably flustered Reki who can't take Langa's direct form of communication. (This one is actually locked behind needing an account, if you don't have an account, DM me and I'll send you a PDF.)

the most wonderful night of the year is an amazing fic about Reki thinking that Langa asked him out for Christmas Eve when Langa really just meant it like asking him over for dinner with his family. Cultural differences. Oops. Confessions and just a dash of homophobia to make it hurt and you've got yourself genuinely one of my favorite fics of all time.

How to Get Away With Topping is a really funny fic about Langa being a pillow princess and Reki thinking himself into knots trying to get Langa to be more dominant even though they're both happy with the way things are. (He's convinced himself that Langa must want to top. He doesn't.) I really like the details in this fic like Reki knowing that everyone must assume Langa tops just based off of how they look and act, and just a smidge of sexism and homophobia feels very realistic (I don't even know if those parts where on purpose but the point stands).

Sorry for taking so long on this one anon, but I hope you like them! Let me know what you think of them on anon or in dms!! Come yell with me about SK8!

[robiinurheart33]

Thanks for the tag @sergeantwoods !! I went a little crazy on the questions lols,,,

1. how many works?

Honestly no idea lmao (if ur talking on ao3, I don’t have an account there, but I’ve been thinking about it.) (14 wips atm)

2. Total word count?

Again, no idea LOL! My actual works have been around 1K ish per post? So id say in total maybee 10k?

3. what fandoms do you write for?

Currently, COD. I wanna expand more soon though, so stay tuned in the far, far future

4. top 5 fics by kudos?

I’m gonna list down my fav fics of all time (multi fandom) if im reading this correctly

1. Anything by buzzcut_season really. Their writing is spectacular and made my heart clench on so many occasions. My personal GOD of writing fluff. And the person that got me through the hells of teenage puberty.(for the record, i am still in puberty lmfao) my firsts in the tag tooth-rotting fluff and the magics of slow burn. (Sk8 the Infinity)

2. Neon Void by sugarpastels. The creator is here on Tumblr with the same user so if you wanna check her out go ahead!! FANTASTIC writing, villain Leo au with heart pounding scenes that leave me dizzy. A fic has never made me breathless and needing to pace around my room more than this one (special shoutout to her sister as well who is writing a mutant mayhem fic that unfortunately didn’t get added to the list but is still super well written!!) (ROTTMNT)

3. Anytime You Need Me by thirteenbullets. I really don’t need to elaborate more. Character analysis + fluff + non sexual intimacy + long fics… it’s the perfect series for me. I felt like a stuck gold when i read this. (COD)

4. The Eldest Brother by dEBB987. Classic 2012 x 2018 crossover, but it doesn’t have ooc and is just such. A. Fun. Read. Made me giggle and kick my legs more than one occasion and good family feels all around. (TMNT)

5. Mutant Ninja Midlife Crisis by a_platypus. Old Leo comes back to the past after the events of the movie to readjust to new life. The right amount of drama with the perfect amount of slice of life. This fic actually gives the old turtle a break but also not letting go of the teenage angst and everything that comes with seeing your dead friends young and alive again. Would have been higher on the list but it’s not completed sadly. The author does write for COD as well though, and it’s worth to check it out! (ROTTMNT)

5. do you respond to comments?

Yes!!! I love love love it when people comment and try to interact if possible.

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Probably the panic attack Ghost fic. Haven’t written much angst if im remembering correctly. I’m a major fluff person

7. fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Oh god i really haven’t written a proper fic at all helps. I’m frantically swiping through my robs ramblings tag and just realising most of the ghoap stuff i write is about their undying dedication to each other. Jesus. Happiest ending is probably one of my blurbs cause every time i try to write actual fluff i overheat and explode.

8. do you get hate on fics?

Nope

9. do you write smut?

Nah. I don’t think ill ever write smut honestly not because im asexual its just that I don’t think I can write one accurately if that makes sense. Also im a minor I don’t think im allowed to do that

10. craziest crossover?

None yet

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

Thankfully not, but if i have i would take it as a sign that I’ve made it as a writer. Unless it’s more popular than the actual post in that case burn it with fire.

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope

13. have you ever co-written a fic before?

Unfortunately and fortunately no. I would LOVE to collaborate, don’t get me wrong. But i would get so anxious about not disappointing the other person or procrastinating and motivation and all the works and just. Yeah I don’t have the mental capacity for that rn.

14. all time favourite ship?

Ooooooh

ghoap, renga, ineffable husbands, solangelo (Off the top of my head rn)

15. what’s a wip that you want to finish but doubt you will?

THE SECOND PART TO DRUNK SOAP. OH MY GOD I NEED TO GET IT DONE ITS BEEN 2 MONTHS

16. what are your writing strengths?

I would say making everything just too dramatic and emotional

17. what are your writing weaknesses?

Dialogue. I can barely talk irl how am i supposed to write witty banter

18. thoughts on dialogue in another language?

Love it. As a bilingual myself i love seeing diff languages it’s like a bonus secret for that language user

19. first fandom you wrote in?

Rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles. That was when i was in my “i think this is so cringy of me and i hold myself back because of it” because wow. I reread some of it recently and it’s horrible it will stay and rot in my notes app. Although i will say it’s so nice to see how far I’ve come in terms of writing and just posting publicly in general

20. favourite fic you’ve written?

The drunk soap one and the Ghoap one where they’re on stakeout together. I didn’t like the second one initially, but i think slaving over it worked. I love how I managed to balance the quietness and mutual respect and fondness of each other.

If you couldn’t tell, i had a lot of fun answering these questions haha

If you’ve made it this far, congratulations!! You know more about me than the average online follower 👏👏👏

[shgark]

You Belong With Me by crinklefries on AO3 is one of the best fics i’ve read lately

it’s pretty hefty at 56k words, but i swear it was so freaking worth it. There were moments where i was full on bawling my eyes out and i loved it so much

It’s got mutual pining. It’s got childhood friends to lovers. It’s got fake dating. It’s got angst. THEY WERE FREAKING ROOMMATES—

anyways, i really recommend it if you’re looking for a good matchablossom fic :))

Sunflower(series)

By aralana765

Sk8 the infinity fandom

https://archiveofourown.org/series/2561443

Series is 125k words but the first instalment is 8k

Mostly g rated except for a skippable e rated side fic

Summary

Reki learns how to code. Langa learns how to cook. Matchablossom learn they are parents(for better or worse).

It's better than you think it will be, and it will make you stay up for probably too long to get just 5 more minutes! This is the fic that got me sucked into the sk8 fandom HARD, and the characters and the relationships between them are 10/10!

"I need to remind adam why he loves skating!" tadashi please that man needs to go to jail. do not pass go do not collect $200 STRAIGHT to jail

[kats-fic-recs]

but we're not so starry-eyed anymore

The trouble with being in love with your best friend was, there was nowhere for that excess of feeling to go. Kojiro had no interest in risking everything they’d built together over the years, and it’s not like he could talk to anyone about his feelings. The whole situation was unspeakably humiliating.

The feeling was just too big to contain, so maybe it spilled out occasionally. Maybe, just maybe, Kojiro had been drafting a confession letter since their first year of high school. It wasn’t like he was ever going to send it. It was just something to occupy his time, a place to express the fondness that overpowered him when Kaoru sent a rare smile his way and he felt like his heart might actually, physically melt in his chest. He never intended to send the letter. Kaoru was never, ever, ever meant to read it.

I finally have some more time to read fic and I want to make this a regular thing: reccing five fics every Friday, both fics I've read during the week but also older works that I love. So without further ado, here are some newer and older faves:

1. In Repair (Dorian Pavus/Trevelyan, DA, T) by breadbowl: Inky & co are exploring some ruins when Dorian is attacked by Venatori. What follows next is a spoiler lol so I won't say anything else, but this fic was so angsty but also funny in places, with lots of action and banter. It was like extra content from the game which is my favorite kind of DA fic.

2. Librarian To The Future (Dorian Pavus/Trevelyan, DA, T) by norwasmeanttobe: The Inquisition needs a book of magic which has been destroyed, so Dorian time travels to the Ostwick Circle of eight years before to find its last copy. There he meets a young Inquisitor Trevelyan, who was the Circle librarian at the time. A truly delightful fic, plus the author's Trevelyan is such a sweetie. Loved this.

3. Chintz (Achilles/Patroclus, Hades/TSOA, M) by @baejax-the-great: Achilles is trapped in a miserable marriage, and in order to escape it -and himself- he starts drinking heavily while also sleeping with his best friend (and long time crush, but no one's talking about that lmao). The pain!!! The misery!!! All the suppressed emotions!!! It hurts so good 😭 My heart broke for both of them and now I am ANXIOUSLY waiting for a reunion that will mend it (i.e. poking Bae with a stick while she writes 👀) 

4. as we circle the moon (Keith/Shiro, VLD, E) by @monstersinthecosmos: follows the events in the show after Shiro disappears post s2, and is then found-- but fem!Sheith 🥺 Kacy's written some of my all time fave sheith angst, and this is no exception: an in depth exploration of Keith's state of mind after losing Shiro and Shiro's own struggles towards recovery, just so soft and sad and poignant and true to character. I love these gorls <3

5. Calamitous Love (Tadashi/Ainosuke, Sk8 the Infinity, E) by @starryskeyes: I read this one a while back, but boy howdy has it left its mark on me. I am a slut and a weakling for childhood friends to lovers to exes back to lovers (no one knows them like they know each other!!!!! ;w;) and this hit the spot JUST RIGHT, Chel's prose and characterisations are divine and made me feel so many emotions. I just want to wrap Tadashi in blankets and keep him safe. 😭

That's it for this week!! See you again next Friday 💙

10 Fic Recs for International Fanworks Day

To celebrate, I'm going to rec 10 things I've enjoyed or am enjoying. Please read and mind all tags - many (most? all? lol) things I rec will be NSFW and may contain other content requiring your discretion. Thanks!

Blood Upon the Snow by sinkat_arts. Ongoing, 150K, 13/14 chapters posted. Shifter/monster hunter AU (not the game), DaiSuga. This AU is so imaginative and the characters are so Them, I'm loving this.

Revelations of the Intimate Kind by flowerofsin. Oneshot, 4.6K, Eleven/Rory/Amy - it's not Amy who's been having fantasies about the Doctor. Rory/Eleven doesn't get explored as much as some other dynamics, and I'm weak for it.

Show Me by kickcows. Oneshot, 3K, Aranea/Ignis (Highspecs). Aranea visits Ignis and he makes sure she has the best, most enjoyable reception. A hot new Highspecs in exactly the flavor I love and adore? In 2024? I owe this author everything.

Compensation by mumsywrites. Oneshot, 2K, Kojiro/Ainosuke (matchalove). Ainosuke pays Joe back delightfully for the use of his restaurant for an event. My sk8 otp, rendered in hot and gorgeous fashion.

my love is unusual by janie_tangerine. Jane/Joanie (Deadwood), oneshot, 700 words. These ladies deserve more attention, and this fic gives it to them in lovely fashion. I want them to be happy.

Lavender and Pine by Spiderlily_Writes. Oneshot, 6K, hildaclaude with background marihilda. Hilda helps Claude work out some stress. This is so gorgeously spicy and illustrates the trust between these two SO well.

Heartless by Aewin. Oneshot, triple drabble. Neuvillette and Zhongli have a spicy confrontation. Please can I have 100K of this dynamic? It's so hot and the conflict is SO JUICY, playing off good solid canon reasons why that'd happen.

Much Ado About a Thick Dick by Cavalierious. Oneshot, 2K, Zhongli shows off his Childe-shaped toy. This is SUCH a hot premise and it's executed so well!

Hypotenuse by beleghir. Oneshot, 6.5K, Renga/Eden, with a tentative and wary connection between Reki and Adam. This Adam makes my chest hurt. He's so good. I love this fic.

chrysalis, coaxed open by anonymous. Oneshot, 5K, Asahi/Bokuto, soft dom Asahi. SO GOOD, I love this rarepair, this flavor of them is just right to me, and softly commanding Asahi incinerated me.

I hope you enjoy! I have a long reading/bookmark list, so maybe I'll try to share my faves more often.

[iurissi]

this has been posted for awhile but just bringing some attention to this fic again! it was the first real fic i ever spent more then just a couple hours writing and it rlly just is special to me! either way, do what you will with this XD

[o-finn-bem-viado]

Renga Fic #1

[archivingfanfiction]

Collared

by ninamyyly

When Langa moves to Okinawa with his mom, he's not expecting much. But then, on his first day of school, he meets the cutest Omega, whose scent draws him in and who makes him feel alive again.

The only problem is that the Omega is collared. And seems to have a very possessive Alpha already. But Langa may be too far gone to let that stop him.

-

Not me binging Sk8 the Infinity in a day so I could finally figure out what the omega verse boom of them was... I had fun. They are very cute characters.
