Chameleon Park Jimin 8

My Chameleon Park Jimin (PJM) Series (<link) [Parts 1-7] discusses the emotional, physical, & professional growth, adjustments, and changes Jimin has endured and experienced during his BTS journey, as I see it.

Last Portion of 2023

By this time most BTS solo projects had been presented and enlistment for the remaining members was quickly approaching. After Suga, V released his solo album and did promotions. After dropping a few singles, it was now Jung KooK’s (JK) turn to release his solo album. His would be the final solo album debut of the year, before the remaining 4 enlisted.

As JK's promotions began, he traveled to New York (NY) for his first performance. So, in JM's usual supportive fashion, the following day he flew to NY to support JK. Little did fans know that they were also filming a 2-member travel show, starting in NY, which would be material that would also be released during the military hiatus.

As the different filming locations occurred, Jimin and Jk were seen walking through several airports, traveling openly together as they flew from destination to destination every other month. It was the first time 2 members had traveled together in this way. The travel show plan finally leaked but very little was exposed about what they were doing at each location. This was an important moment for BTS as a veteran, mature idol group.

Mature Idols

During this hiatus, the maknae (younger) line, in particular, was starting new trends and breaking down barriers that had previously been expected for idols to maintain, both through their work and in their personal actions and behaviors. The guys were not explaining but only carrying on with their professional and personal activities, helping to usher in acceptance of their next chapter of life as grown idol men rather than the younger teenagers that had begun more than a decade ago.

Most other idol groups disband before this stage is reached. BTS is at the height of their career and is still a successful, impactful group as they continue in this field as adults.

There will always be some shock and dismay over some of the choices the members make and will be making, but as always, BTS is paving the way. No other group had to plan a military pause at the peak of their career. No other group had ever planned such an elaborate package of material to be used in their absence, and no other group had to establish new standards and expectations of their being adults, and having normal adult lives, while still being active idols. BTS is, as always, doing it like no one has ever seen. The achievements of every members’ solo projects has been astounding up to this point and there was more to come.

When I say presently, that as 2025 has just begun, the entire hiatus was as if BTS was still present and active in the music environment, and I mean it 100 fold. For the 2024 year-end chart totals and awards, BTS still dominated. Unfortunately, much of the KPop community, that resisted them from the start, is hugely disappointed that they were not able to figure out how to capitalize on BTS’s absence in the way they had hoped. As in the past, when faced with an obstacle, BTS just created a new lane in which to excel.

Back to 2023

It was a few months before enlistment, and Jimin began bleaching his hair again. He had dark hair for a long while and all throughout the FACE promotions. Fans weren’t sure if they’d ever see the old hair colors again, considering his new relaxed, baggier, less fancy style. His hair now went from orange to all out blonde, which was one of his more popular, flashy colors from the past. It turns out Jimin’s promotions for the 2nd album, MUSE, would include the blonde, but more current, version of Jimin.

As the time to enlist approached, Jimin began releasing #ThisIsJimin [playlist] dance clips, one dance at a time (release order: #4,2,3,5,1 (as shown below). The videos showed the progression of his hair from black to orange to blonde.

If fans had recalled the release of Jimin’s first solo album, when he had posted #JiminsDanceTime video clips as a build up to his 1st promotions, they might have anticipated another album promotion about to begin. Instead, the dance clips were building up toward the release of a solo ‘fan’ song that dropped soon after his departure. Fans were delighted at the gift, and the song performed very well. However, fans didn’t know that the song was actually a very early pre-released song from his 2nd album, which wouldn’t be released until mid-2024.

(Aside: Although the winter timing, right after enlistment, worked extremely well to comfort fans, I am curious why his fan song wasn’t used as the Festa 2024 song (June), which would have been right before his album release (July). It would have been a great album promotion too. There was a big gap between this pre-release (Dec. 2023) and his album, so fans were later surprised to see it was actually a song from his album too.)

The Analysis

The #ThisIsJimin dances showed diverse styles to different genres of music. The behind the scenes video for the dances showed a confident Jimin who danced well and enjoyed the process of contributing to the choreography, while working with others. It's possible there were reasons for the specific song choices he made for each dance. I do call him the Man of Messaging after all. 😏

Over Jimin’s entire career, we have watched him grow and evolve. He is so open that we saw the anguish and hurt, but we also got to see the growth and happiness. There was a time that Jimin wore a figurative mask. He didn’t like to be seen without makeup. He would dress sleekly for airport pictures. He didn’t like to be seen without his hair in place.

He has now arrived at a place where he seems done with wearing a societal mask of any kind. He now allows himself to be seen without makeup, with baggy, less tidy clothes and with air-dried, unstyled hair. He seems more comfortable with himself. He accepts that he is perfectly fine as he is. He still cleans up with the professionals for work, but he’s not as concerned about looking stage-ready when not on a stage.

The mask was not only removed from his physical appearance though. The travel show Jimin did with Jung Kook (Are You Sure?! [playlist]) revealed just how comfortable Jimin had become with himself, his looks, and his body. From my earlier writing, I had explained the food, weight, & body issues Jimin had developed due to the company forcing him to expose his body at a young age, which resulted in severe dieting and weight training.

Some of the public had been brutal about criticizing Jimin about any- and everything, and it understandably disturbed a young Jimin in a very weight-conscious, Korean society. While I still feel Jimin is working on that issue, he has come so far, to the point where we saw him several times in just swim shorts during the travel show. ☺️

During the travels, Jimin ate enjoyably and appreciated the experience with relaxed, happy freedom. He looked healthier in weight and appetite and appeared comfortable in his own skin. Fans got to see that the silly, playful Jimin was still there but was in a more mature, controlled version that showed during more personal, private activities.

During a behind the scenes moment and toward the end of the Are You Sure?! series, Jimin showed sincere feelings of sadness as the trip ended and enlistment was now only weeks away. He even expressed that showing those types of feelings publicly was not common for him to do. I feel he usually felt like he had to be “on” for the camera but for most of the time during the show, Jimin had let down his guard and just was. As someone who has watched Jimin and his past footage for a while now, it was a delight to see. It was as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders, in spite of the impending military service looming ahead.

Just like the masks of cloth or makeup that Jimin had removed from his appearance, and the weighted mask that had been removed from his emotions, Jimin seemed to be removing the mask from his work as well. We were being allowed to see more behind the scenes moments, while work was in progress and not yet perfectly completed, and Jimin seemed comfortable and even happy about it.

Jimin always exposed more than I felt he should emotionally, but it now feels like he is revealing things, not due to overflowing emotions or distress, but because he wants to, because he has nothing to hide, and because he is not concerned or troubled anymore about revealing himself. Due to nasty people in the public, Jimin protects his privacy more but has found a balance of being relaxed and open, while keeping his private life private - by choice and not fear.

Still, Jimin is as human as they come, and he’s still young. Life is a journey, not a destination. All of us should be continuing to mature and develop, no matter how old we are. Just as the military will provide Jimin with experiences that he can incorporate into his career and life to make them both more rich and meaningful, Jimin still has experiences and events that will happen once back in the civilian world to help him to continue to grow. So, in spite of the comments about Jimin accepting his looks and appearance, at the time of enlistment Jimin struggled with having to remove one of his main identifiable features: his thick, luxurious hair.

Jimin was known for the haircuts and hair colors that enhanced his look in person and on stage. As many of us feel about ourselves, Jimin’s hair was felt to be an extension of his being. It too was a kind of mask. He waited for the final possible moment before doing the required buzzcut. He had previously said that he wouldn’t show the fans, but late on the final day before leaving, Jimin showed up on WeLive to say “See you in a while” to fans with the dreaded buzzcut.

Wearing a hat, he looked resolved but emotional and was so very brave as he maintained his demeanor and his smile. He even eventually took off his hat - twice - and bowed to the fans before putting the hat immediately back on. That moment proved the growth and maturity that I have been explaining. Another mask had been removed. The next day at enlistment, even the hat would be gone.

That following day Jimin and Jung Kook officially enlisted together (set to mark), using Korea’s companion program. They had applied for and had chosen to enlist together and support each other throughout the 18 months of military service. This ‘buddy program’ would allow them to remain together on the same base, in the same location for the entire service. While I feel both of them would have survived without the support, I feel it is likely a great comfort and encouragement, having a good friend there at your side.

Presently, Jimin has achieved the status of Special Warrior, which is earned with “exceptional performances and intensive training”. This is not surprising since Jimin does everything to his best ability. When he safely returns, I suspect his best moments in life are truly still yet to come, whether on stage or off.

TO BE CONTINUED in final Part 9: MUSE, Mini Moni Music, the military…

KuroDai Fic Recs: Pt. 1

Felt a little silly and went through my pile of bookmarked KuroDai fics and affectionately threw them up on this post. Enjoy!!

EDIT: Here's part 2!!

hitchhiker's guide to black hole sofas by breadlamps [Teen]

“Dear sofa gods,” he mutters out loud, giving up on maintaining any sense of sanity at this point. “Please give me my remote back.” Daichi loses his TV remote to his sofa and gains something much better in return.

don't think twice by kkuma [Gen]

Tired of Oikawa’s mocking, tired of Bokuto’s laughter, tired of Kenma’s eye rolls (that he can hear through the phone line), Kuroo decides that enough is enough. He is going to ask out Sawamura Daichi and he is going to do it today.

All According to Keikaku by Finnthebunneh [Gen]

Three rooms further down the hallway where the door wasn’t entirely shut and lying on his belly in the comfort of his bed, Kuroo heard the hushed whispers and giggles and wondered why he felt restless and bothered. Unconsciously, he wrapped an arm around himself and was suddenly reminded of Oikawa’s hand on Daichi’s biceps. Their bathroom was already cramped, was there any necessity to be that close to each other, both on that minuscule countertop, not to mention how Oikawa was practically pinning Daichi down and Daichi’s flushed face and legs almost hooked around Oikawa’s hips and— I don’t like that. Wait. What.

Daichi harbored a crush on Kuroo ever since high school, but no way he was going to ever confess to the guy now that they’re attending the same college. To Daichi’s horror, Kuroo’s roommate was the one and only Oikawa Tooru who found out about his crush. Luckily, it was a good thing Oikawa kept his mouth shut, but then his eyes were sharp and his mind bright, and to Kuroo’s surprise, Oikawa strangely started to flirt with Daichi who made the most unexpected adorable expressions and wow how Kuroo did not like that.

baby if being sexy was a crime, you'd be guilty as charged by breadlamps [Teen]

Daichi has been getting some...unusual requests during work - specifically for him, and specifically concerning his handcuffs. He's worried that he's being pranked, but Suga has a feeling that the perpetrators have a completely different meaning in mind...

Conflict Of Interests, But Not Really by lordmediator [Teen]

At the age of 17, you and your soulmate exchange bodies for a day. This is how Kuroo Tetsuro, heir to the Nekoma Yakuza Group, wakes up in the body of his soulmate, Sawamura Daichi, the son of the Commissioner of Police.

If I Could Change Your Mind by tookumade [Gen]

“I’m kind of excited to meet him,” Bokuto says, roughly an hour before Karasuno are scheduled to arrive. “He sounds interesting.” Kuroo raises an eyebrow at him. “I just told you that there’s not a lot about him that stands out—how is that interesting?” “You’ve told me a lot about how he apparently doesn’t stand out,” Bokuto replies easily. “You don’t usually talk about someone so much."

(Or, Sawamura Daichi shows up like a breath of fresh air, and Kuroo Tetsurou doesn't stand a chance.)

Overestimate My Appeal (I'll Give You a Kiss) by meetyouatthemoon [Teen]

On a team of guys who were all fairly tall and strong and attractive, there's no one that would win "Todai's most attractive volleyball player" by unanimous vote. Daichi knows that. But Kuroo's totally in their top three most attractive teammates—that's just a fact. And honestly, who wouldn't want to kiss him if given the opportunity? Right?

Deep Roots are not Reached by the Frost by Stacysmash [Teen]

“Why’d we stop?” Tanaka whispered, so loud it could have been his normal voice. The dwarf looked uneasy as he jerked his head around, his axe clutched tightly in his fingers. Suga turned and gave him a warning look. “Because we’re surrounded Tanaka. Lower your axe.” The humans and dwarves of the group seemed surprised by that, but the elves sensed their own nearby and the halflings had definitely been feeling uneasy. Daichi sighed, wondering how long they were just going to hover in the trees before revealing themselves when he heard a voice chuckle. It was irritating, like the prelude to an entire speech meant to pick on the ragtag group of travelers. Nonetheless a smile began to curl on Daichi’s lips, knowing exactly who was approaching them. “What do we have here?” The sly voice spoke in elvish, allowing only certain members of the party to understand. “Sawamura Daichi. Only you could put together such a hilarious group such as this.” Kurodai Week 2018: Day 4 Admiration/Bad Habits

pleasedatemesawamura.pptx by pepperfield [Gen]

Kuroo has a proposition for Daichi, and has decided to express it through the most legitimate means possible: PowerPoint.

and every thing i do, i do it all for you by breadlamps [Gen]

“Morning, Sa’amura,” Kuroo greets him with a lazy drawl. “Did you enjoy your milk? I hope you’ll be happy to hear I worked hard for it.” Daichi hums, not replying. He did not, in fact, drink the milk, but stared at it for a good hour until he told himself to get a grip and put it in his ice chest for safekeeping.

Daichi leads a simple life giving out quests to passing heroes. It's unrewarding and mundane, but he enjoys it - until he meets a hero who just won't stop coming back for more. kurodai week 2021 day 4: lost/found

caffeine, crisis, and the CFO by YaelaTheWordsmith [Gen]

Tetsurou nearly loses his laptop the morning of the biggest presentation of his career, and it turns out to be the best thing that's happened to him in a while.

This One's For You by Stacysmash [Teen]

All Daichi wants to do is confess to Kuroo, pure and simple. But what should be a simple act suddenly seems daunting when the entire world tells him that his confession needs to be a bit more special. Kurodai Week Dec 2019 Day 1: Song Inspiration

Love Beats Rock by Stacysmash [Teen]

It all began about ten years ago when a mysterious event occurred at the shrine, an event that Kuroo could hardly find any information on no matter how many documents or websites he scoured. Ever since that incident, anyone who traveled up the mountain ended up injured in some way. No one had been killed, yet the survivors were never able to explain how they ended up like that. Every strange clue Kuroo discovered pulled him deeper into the story, wafting through urban legends and public records to sort out the mystery. With his research leading him to a dead-end, he finally decided to go to the town himself to find out what was happening, and if the stone actually existed.

The Blushing Game by Catastra_Fey [Teen]

The captain squad gets together occasionally, and when they do, they love playing a game with Daichi to get him all flustered. But the Nekoma captain is by far the most effective and there are reasons. These friends know a bit about each other, but tonight they are going to learn a lot more.

dance with me, in this twilight by YaelaTheWordsmith [Gen]

It's the last day of term, everyone is celebrating, and Tetsurou asks Sawamura Daichi to dance - in the air. It's very romantic and very pretty and he'd like you to please ignore the fact that he almost drops his crush in the middle of the air.

show me your love, your love by KahssanderCat [Gen]

tetsurou's mouth getting ahead of him is usually a problem. this, thankfully, isnt one of those times.

one touch by Recluse [Teen]

It is a promise from the universe that opportunity will come, that there is a hand you are meant to hold.

shear attraction by YaelaTheWordsmith [Gen]

What's a hair stylist to do when he's crushing hard on a hot new customer? Flirt badly and pine terribly, of course. Or, Tetsurou and Daichi compete in the Handsome Dumbass Olympics. They both win.

My Hero, My Lover, My King by Finnthebunneh [Teen]

A gush of wind harshly brushed Kuroo’s chin right when the crow flew past his face and in the next second, silence was replaced by screams and curses of a man as well as strong flapping of wings and incessant angry caws. Kuroo turned on his heels in confusion, eyes following the crow attacking the man he once chased out of the brothel by slapping his face with its wings, claws scratching at his cheeks and robust beak jabbing at his skin so mercifully it even tried to aim for the man’s eyes. Kuroo was too taken aback by the scene that he forgot to react, though it didn’t take long for the man to drop his kendo bamboo sword and hurriedly fled his way out of the alleyway. “Did you just... save me from being assaulted?”

When war broke out, Kuroo Tetsurou lost his home and ended up working at a brothel as a handyman and errand boy. Life went on peacefully until Kuroo's life was put on the line once again. Along the way, a crow curiously befriended him and brought laughter and smiles back into Kuroo's life. He wasn't aware of it yet, but the crow brought more than that.

i can be a little shellfish sometimes by inkyhajime [Teen]

In which Daichi makes a mistake and accidentally falls in love with someone he could never have. Or so he thought.

The Christmas Date Insufficiency by Poteto [Gen]

Getting closer to Tetsurou Kuroo makes Daichi feel lonely at Christmas for the first time.

how to get a boyfriend: a comprehensive guide by kuroo tetsurou by dinosar [Teen]

It's a Sweet Life by iampotterlocked242 [Gen]

Sawamura Daichi runs out of the essential ingredient for his big project. He seeks help from the rival bakery across the street, run by the charming Kuroo Tetsurou. Rival Bakeries AU.

Mocha Me Purr by x_Lazart_x [Gen]

Kuroo was in the middle of singing a guitar solo when a cough that sounded suspiciously like a laugh came from behind him. He never thought he'd fall head over heels so fast, but this customer was gorgeous. Now if only Daichi would co-operate.

Analytically Speaking by Spring_Emerald [Teen]

“Why analyze that, when you can analyze this?” Kuroo’s ears felt to hot at the implication of Daichi’s words, that it derailed his thought process for a moment. He hesitated and it almost cost him, as he can pinpoint the exact moment that Daichi realized what he’s doing, but, oh no. Kuroo wouldn’t let him off. “Shit…” he said under his breath. He considers the laboratory a sacred ground, but damn, he’s only human, and Daichi is a temptation he can never resist.

dissonance in stability by amaanogawa [Teen]

dis·so·nance /ˈdisənəns/ noun · a tension or clash resulting from the combination of two disharmonious or unsuitable elements. OR "It's absolutely ridiculous, really, two grown men lying on an elevator floor, chewing bubble gum side by side at 5 in the morning. Daichi would never have thought that he'd be here, doing something so unbelievable. And yet, here he was."

As You Wish by Stacysmash [Teen]

With the lamp hovering in front of his face, he could hear the crying better and though he had no clue what sort of creature was dwelling inside, his heart broke into thousands of pieces for it. He wasn’t sure how to comfort it, but he instinctually rubbed his hand across the warm metal, hoping to soothe the creature that way. Immediately the lamp glowed like the scalding hot metal in Kai’s forge, and yet it didn’t burn his hands. It was startling and Kenma nearly dropped it on the floor from his trembling fingers. Out of the spout, a greenish smoke erupted and swirled around him until all he could see was the mystical dark haze. Warning: This is a giant one-shot, like over 35K. Just so you know

We Are Both Young and Ignorant by RayRayTail [Teen]

"What. Do. You. Want?" It was strange, but Kuroo's heart was beating like crazy. He hated how much Sawamura got under his skin. He hated how much the other boy made him care. (Or alternatively, two guys who are actually gay for each other unknowingly partake in a mating ritual by continuously arguing with each other in public spaces.)

Paired Together by the D.A. by orphan_account [Gen]

Kuroo had three goals set for when he went to college. What he hadn't planned on was acquiring a big schoolboy crush on his roommate, Sawamura Daichi.

to build a home by orphan_account [Gen]

Five times Sawamura Daichi has Kuroo Tetsurou at his side, and one time he doesn't. (Day 3: childhood / adulthood)

thirty seconds or a lifetime by orphan_account [Gen]

Kuroo can feel Daichi’s cherry wood wand in the pocket of his suit trousers, pressing against his leg through the layers of fabric, and he smirks to himself. “Is that your wand in your pocket or are you just really excited to see me?” Daichi groans into his ear. “Wasn’t funny the first time, Tetsu, and it’s still not funny now. Next time you use that line on me I swear I’ll hex you.” “Babe,” Kuroo draws back, putting a hand against his chest in mock heartfelt appreciation. “You’re so good to me.” (Day 2: sports swap au / same high school au)

In the Forest by HomeForImaginaryFriends [Gen]

Tetsurou had never believed in magic or fairies, until he realized he was married to one.

caught by the galaxies, bright in your eyes by YaelaTheWordsmith [Teen]

Daichi and Tetsurou meet at the Academy at eighteen, fresh-faced and eager to join the ranks of those valiant defenders of the Galactic Territories, the Rangers. They stand by each other through the years after, through triumph and betrayal and rebellion, and there's nothing they wouldn't do for each other. Except, it seems, confess how long they've each loved the other.

Sense by Ellessey [Teen]

'“What are you—felt what?” Daichi asks. “This,” Kuroo says, and he lifts one hand, waves it carefully through the empty space in front of him, and paints the air with color. Bright lines of orange and gold and red appear in the path of his fingertips. Daichi’s mouth falls open. “Yours is cooler,” Kuroo says, smiling wryly.' -- Daichi has never met another person like him before, someone he doesn’t have to hide his abilities from. But the first day at a new school, surrounded by the same normal faces, he finally meets someone different.

angel of mine by Spring_Emerald [Mature]

In attempt to make Kuroo look away from the door, Daichi brings a hand to cup his face, but it was probably not the right move because as soon as he touched a warm cheek, Kuroo gasped, and the sound sent shivers down Daichi's spine. ----- For KuroDai Week 2021 Day 2: supernatural

black cats are good luck by YaelaTheWordsmith [Teen]

Kuroo and Daichi are students at - you guessed it - a college of magic. This would have absolutely nothing to do with the story of how they started liking each other and finally got together - if it wasn't for the fact that the fairly big secret Kuroo's hiding is accidentally revealed on their first date. Or, Daichi finds out what Kuroo really is, Kuroo panics, and Daichi has to get the boy he likes out from under the fridge.

Rescue From Neverland by Stacysmash [Teen]

Sawamura Daichi is a typical single father and prominent member of the Japanese Government. His childhood, however, was marred with haunting memories of when he was whisked away to Neverland and the terror he faced there. When his own children get whisked away, Daichi will stop at nothing to get them back, even facing his worst fears. Kurodai Week 2018 Day 7 Disney AU

A Romance of Plastic and Stuffing by Stacysmash [Teen]

Initially, it was difficult for Sheriff Kuroo to deal with the introduction of a new toy to Shoyou's room and replaced him as number one. But when he finally gives Sawamura Space Ranger a chance, his feelings change quickly from friendship to something more. *This is the beginning to my submission for Kurodai Weekend!* Ch 1: Introduction Ch 2: Aug 31 Getting Sick/Injured Ch 3: Sept 1 Affection/Dates Ch 4: Sept 2 Travel

This is Not a Rom-Com Movie (But it sure feels like one) by pastles [Teen]

Kuroo has a crush on someone, but he's a bit too nervous to ask the other person out. So he's asked if Daichi would help by going on "practice dates" with him. Daichi was a little reluctant at first, but he decided that he could help a friend out. Because, to quote his friend, "He was always so kind." But soon, Daichi's wondering if helping Kuroo out is such a good idea. At first, it's kind of funny to see how awkward the other boy is at dates, but after a while, Daichi realises that he's becoming more unhappy with helping Kuroo with the dates. He starts feeling that he really didn't want Kuroo to go out with this mysterious person. But how can Daichi step in now?

Love Letters by per__sei [Gen]

Suga and Asahi know Daichi has been crushing on one Kuroo Tetsurou for months now. It’s obvious to everyone – except, perhaps, one Kuroo Tetsurou. So, with Valentine’s Day approaching, they convince Daichi to travel to Tokyo to confess his feelings. Yaku and Kai know Kuroo has been crushing on one Sawamura Daichi for months now. It’s obvious to everyone – except, perhaps, one Sawamura Daichi. So, with Valentine’s Day approaching, they convince Kuroo to travel to Sendai to confess his feelings. We all know where this is going. A story of four idiots convincing two idiots to do something daring and romantic only for everyone to realise that maybe, they’re not quite as clever as they thought.

Just Stalling by Catastra_Fey [Gen]

Daichi often needs a break after a game to just chill in the last stall in the locker room. Today though, he overhears some things that force him to face something that's been brewing for awhile.

we'll go see it again by breadlamps [Teen]

On the last night of college, Daichi asks Tetsurou to kiss him. This time, Tetsurou's determined to make it count.

A Dinner With The Mafia by Sansmerci [Teen]

It's the most important night of the year. Daichi wants everything to be perfect. Kuroo cannot afford surprises.

Whenever You're Ready by RayRayTail [Teen]

He didn’t know when he began to accept Kuroo's magic tricks, the change happening subtly and over time. But one day, he remembered Kuroo pulling flowers out of his hat and launching them at him, only for Daichi to simply smile back at him. “It’s embarrassing, but you made my heartbeat so fast I thought I’d have to go to the infirmary.” “You’re ridiculous.” Or, Kuroo is fated to be a good guy(?) and Daichi is destined to become evil. Their love was never meant to be (or something like that).

Daichi Sawamura vs that One Moron from Marketing by KRSNope [Gen]

Daichi wasn’t expecting his highly competitve internship to be easy. He expected long days, a heavy workload, and a lot of ass kissing to hopefully walk away with a full-time job. What he wasn’t expecting was some weird rivalry with this smirky idiot from the marketing department. He just wants to walk away from the internship with a job offer before he graduates. If Kuroo Tetsurou ruins his chances? There will be hell to pay.

and that's the way i loved you by spookysp_ace (summermoonsdawn) [Teen]

Daichi crumples the letter between the meat of her palms before throwing it against her dorm room wall. She imagined the paper growing like a meteor and dropping from her third floor residence to the RA at the bottom floor and dropping onto her head. - Or, Daichi thinks Kuroo hates her. That is not the case.

Your Hand in Mine (My Heart is Yours) by meetyouatthemoon [Teen]

Daichi has never wanted to hold someone's hand this badly in his entire life. In a completely non-horny, non-romantic, non-gay way. He just thinks Kuroo has nice hands, that's all! That's not weird, right? (Spoiler alert: it's definitely in a gay way)

Protecting the Mighty, Protecting the Strong by elysiansunrise [Teen]

Throughout the next months, Kuroo finds himself memorizing every part of Sawamura—every smile, inflection, tone, action. Kuroo’s sense of protectiveness for Sawamura grows ferociously every passing day. There is something about Sawamura—kind, intelligent, passionate Sawamura—that makes Kuroo want to destroy any barrier that comes his way. Kuroo’s protectiveness is what helps him realize that Sawamura’s raise of an eyebrow often indicates amusement. That the fractional widening of his eyes could be out of surprise, or wonder, or teasing. That the way he freezes when he thinks no one is looking is a sign of that unspoken worry that Kuroo has yet to solve.

Or, where Daichi has a small hidden fear that he prefers to keep buried before anybody notices, and Kuroo is there to protect him from it.

magical, mystical, you by spookysp_ace (summermoonsdawn) [Teen]

The person turns and Tetsurou’s heart falls out of his chest. He feels it beating on the cool stone floor as he’s faced with sunkissed skin, a freckle-dotted nose, strong shoulders– - Or, 4 times Sawwamura Daichi walks into Tetsurou's magic shop needing assistance, and 1 time he stills walks into Tetsurou's shop, still needs assistance, but Tetsurou is more in love than ever.

In which Daichi must remain focused and Kuroo is too hot by Toboe1087 [Gen]

Daichi never thought he’d be one of the lucky few to get a glimpse of what his soulmate looked like, but once he saw him, Daichi had trouble thinking about anything else. And Suga would never let him live it down.

all of our flaws lie there, hand in hand by kenmagoesblep [Teen]

There was a lot that modern science couldn’t explain as it was, one of those things being the nature of soulmates. There was no explanation as to how it happened, or why it manifested that way — sharing your scars with your soulmate seemed very arbitrary, which raised even more questions about the whole thing. At some point, Kuroo (much like the people around him) decided he wouldn’t break his brain trying to figure that out. Maybe when he was an adult. What mattered to him was that having a soulmate was a comforting thought, but the sudden realization that he might've found them left him giddy. --- 4 times Kuroo tried denying Sawamura Daichi was his soulmate and 1 time he had to face the facts.

Happy reading :D

Clouds. Trees. Leaves. Green. Gray. Brown. Blue.

There was a vast amount of white and gray clouds of different shades, shapes, and sizes in the grayish blue serene sky. But it stopped in the middle abruptly. To clash along with the different green tree tops. With their unique colors and forms that included different greens and browns. Looking around everything was damp. Drops of water were everywhere dripping beautifully.

Some would probably say it just rained. But you would say the sky had just stopped crying, but that was just yor thinking on the matter. The nature here all clashed so beautifully, just as beautiful and unique as any other place. The place that comes to your mind though, was New York, your home state.Though it was the total opposite of the place you were at now. You still thought they were beautiful in their own way.

The nature and uniqueness were all you could see and could think about at the moment. As you sat in the backseat of her stepfather's car. While the seats before you were being preoccupied by two men. Who were different in their own way but alike in some ways. Right now though the two were bickering continuously. The two had been playfully bantering the whole trip. The two men were your stepfather who was driving, and then next to him was your godfather. Your godfather who you saw as your uncle and called him Uncle Will. Who happened to be sitting in the passenger seat.

"Are we there yet? " William Johnson, your uncle whined to her step-father for the tenth time during your ride. He seemed to be bored at the moment more than anything. Because when he wasn't stuck in his head, or it wasn't a serious matter... he joked around and spoke a lot. Soon you could hear your step-father take a deep breath that was filled with irritation. Seeming to be over with Will's antics, knowing that he was about to joke about a song having hear it before during the drive. Hearing them you looked from the window. You turn to put your attention on the two. Watching the two of them argue again. Being it was one of your sources of entertainment during the drive.

"Man, if you ask me one more time. Imma come from way back when and smack the shit outta you," your stepfather Max Wilson yelled with agitation as he turned to William with an agitated look. After a moment Max then turned to put his focus back on the road. Then and there you could tell he was done with this drive altogether. You could also feel his emotions, irritation. tiredness, but also amusement. That he was hiding very well.

"Here we go again," you had heard a mutter come from the seat next to you. As you soon felt a nudge under your hand. There they were next to you was a black cat with its ears flickering and tail swaying behind them. As they nudge their head under your hand trying to get your attention. The black cat was male. He went by the name of Yoongi, and he was also known as Suga. Who happened to also be your familiar. Looking down, you placed a hand on his head to pet him. You then sent him a discreet nod as you continued to watch the two men in front of you begin arguing again.

"Why you gotta be so rude?" William sang with a pout. As he leaned his head back on the head rest of his seat looking at Max with his wide dark brown eyes. He was being overly dramatic at the moment. But if he wasn't he wouldn't be Will. He was a man who was humorous and a jockster. But when the time called for it he could be serious. But still even then he'd tried to crack a joke to lighten the mood. This caused you to smile thinking about Will and his jokes and humor.

"Why you gotta be so freaking annoying?" Max grumbled with tense shoulders. Even though Max was agitated, he couldn't stop the smile that spread across his face. While he playfully bantered with his best friend. Max was the serious one of the two. But he could still joke around when the time calls for it. He could still loosen up when he wanted to, but take charge when needed.

"You both sound like an old married couple," you voiced with a chuckle. As you looked at the two men in front of you. Before turning your attention to Yoongi. Who was now climbing into your lap making himself comfortable. With a smile you began to pet him as he purred and lied on your lap. It always made you smile when he was affectionate. Being that he was only affectionate with you.

"Well damn, why you gotta be so rude too, Y/n," William sang again but to you. Turning his head to you with an exaggerated pout on his face. While Max playfully whined like a child. Max then looked up at you through the rear view mirror with his own over exaggerated pout. These two when alone were funny, but together they were hilarious. They could make anyone laugh if they wanted to. Which they did often.

"Why do you guys gotta act like five-year old's Uncle Will? " You retorted back looking at the two with an innocent smile. Shaking your head you looked down quickly at Yoongi petting him trying to hide your giggles. Not being able to help it but egg them on. Yoongi though didn't seem to care as he laughed loudly.

"Oh burn," Yoongi chuckled with his heavy accent. Looking at the two men with a tilt of his head. He was always aggravated with the two and their jokes. But he couldn't deny they were good men. They have done so much for him like you have. He was happy to be a part of this little family and was grateful that they accepted him.

"Oh, shut up you pet," William snapped at Yoongi jokingly. William had a smirk upon his face. Knowing how much Yoongi despised being called a 'pet'. So, William used it every chance he could to get a rise out of the familiar. It was always in a joking manner. Yoongi knew but he really couldn't stand being called 'pet'. Which you could see even in his cat form you could tell he was angered. But you could tell his anger was rising through the bond you had. You also knew he was grumpy because he hadn't sleep that much during the ride. Having been trying to keep you calm. He knew how nervous you were because of the big change you were going through. Everyone knew you hated change.

"That, that is just cold," Maxed started with a shake of his head. While trying to ignore William and Yoongi. The two could go at each other continuously just like himself and William. But the two can get harsh with their jokes. Which Max really didn't want to hear at the moment. So, he tried to keep his attention off them. But it was no use as he heard Yoongi from your lap.

"Call me pet one more freaking time,''Yoongi growled, ready to pounce on William. Though before he could you were quick to pull him close to your chest. As you began to rub behind his ears down his back. Knowing the gesture would calm him. Which led Yoongi to fall into your chest. As he let out a loud purr. William was once again about to say another insult but was stopped by the glare you sent his way. Doing this caused your eyes to change into a reddish orange. Being that whenever you were feeling an intense emotion. At that moment you were annoyed immensely. Seeing this caused William to clear his throat. Not wanting to invoke you and turned his attention to Max.

"Max, well she is your daughter," William said, turning in his seat. Turning his teasing on Max once again. Also changing the subject off of Yoongi. Who was content in your arms. Seeming to be falling asleep as he fell deeper in your arms. Which caused you to smile as you continued to pet him behind his ears.

"What's that got to do with anything?" Max questioned William with a raised brow not denying the accusation. You though didn't contribute to the conversation. Because you was too busy hugging Yoongi close to you and petting him still. Yoongi then nudged you lazily under your chin. Seeming to finally fall asleep as he laid against your chest purring contently.

"Well she must have gotten it from somewhere," William insisted. Which you thought was kind of true as you listen to the two. Yes, Max wasn't your biological father. But Max was the closest thing you had to one. Him having raised you from a young age. So over the years of him raising you, you had picked up some of his habits. Not much but a few that you've carried along with you for years. The two of you never had a problem with it. But William brings it up any chance he gets to tease the two of you.

"You know she's got a mother right. She contributed too," Max retorted. Trying to take the blame off of himself. But Max soon shook his head, seeming to try to rid himself of memories. The memories of the past that haunted him at times. That he had gotten over. But he still had trouble remembering and being scared of it at times.

"Yea but that was one crazy bitch. She's nothing like her and you both raised her. So... she must've gotten it from you bro," William insisted once again. William knew what he said was true and wanted to get his pointed across on the matter. He knew you were nothing like your mother. Having been there in your life for a long time. He was there since you were a baby being friends with your mother for a long time. He was the one who had introduce Max and your mother together. Though he didn't know what happened to your mother. Neither men knew what happened to your mother. But they did know they were happy to have you in their life.

"I hate to agree but you're right man. She's better," Max praised you. As he sent you a soft sincere smile in the rearview mirror. Which you returned happily. Before you looked back out the window. Watching as the scenery went past as the car moved. But soon you looked down, stuck in your thoughts.

You were always happy when Max and William reminded you that you were nothing like your mother. Your mother being a cruel woman. She was nice the first years of your life. But when you started showing signs of magic... she changed drastically. Shaking your head you quickly turned to look out the window watching the trees and sky. Pulling Yoongi closer to you with a sigh kissing his furry head. Smiling when he purred. You were hoping that this move would be good for you. Hoping it would help you let go of the past and start seeing a new happy furture.

¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫¸¸ ¸¸♫·¯·♪¸¸♩·¯·♬¸¸

At the moment, you were sitting in your new bed. As Yoongi laid contently in your lap purring. You were watching with amazement and concentration. Practicing your magic to put things in their appropriate places. While watching your magic as it floated things in the air; books, clothes, supplies, all of your things were floating everywhere from boxes. But as you were practicing your magic something came to your mind. You were so grateful for your magic. What would you do without it? But as you thought of that statement. In a quick moment you started to remember your past. The past you so desperately wanted to forget. The past that made you who you and what you were today. A very powerful witch. But what would have happened if she would have taken your powers? What would you have done then?

¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫¸¸𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊¸¸♫·¯·♪¸¸♩·¯·♬¸¸

Sitting in the corner of a basement you were tied up with rope. Your crying being muffled by tape over your mouth. A woman was standing in front of you, this woman was your mother. She was pacing back and forth vigorously, in panic reading the book in her hands. A book that you learned over the years was a grimoire.

You knew why her mother was panicking. She was panicking because she knew she didn't have enough time. Enough time to do what she had planned with the ritual she had set up for you. The reason being because Max and William would be on their way to save you soon. She was think of what she could do but came up with dead ends.

The reason you knew this was because you could hear her. More specifically, you could hear her thoughts. Her thoughts at the time were erratic and chaotic. But with her thoughts in such a state. it made it easy for you to find out many things from reading them. Being that her walls were down making her vulnerable along with them being loud. One thing that you found out was about the ritual she performed on you the night before. After she had used a spell on you to make you sleep.

The ritual that she had already done on you had made you more powerful than ever. You found out that was all part of her plan she had set up. You were just a vessel to hold the magic. Then she would extract it from you along with your own magic. Which made you weep from her spot in the corner.

That was the night you had been the most scared in your life. But it seemed to be the night that everything had changed for you. You have obtained more power than ever. Then without you knowing your magic had called out to Yoongi your familiar. You then ended up bonding with him as a witch and familiar. Who had been the one to take down your mother. When William and Max found you that night you were sobbing in the arms of Yoongi. Who had untied you and was trying to comfort and sooth you as he rocked you back and forth. While there was a pile of dust in front of you both where your mother once stood.

¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫¸¸ ¸¸♫·¯·♪¸¸♩·¯·♬¸¸

"Hey Y/n. It's okay, come back to me. Come on," Yoongi's deep accent voice shook you from the past you were remembering. In front of you was a man. Who had long ebony hair, dark brown eyes, two black cat ears, and a tail swaying behind him. It took a moment, but you soon realized it was Yoongi in his human form. He was wearing his signature color black, a black shirt and a black pair of pants.

"Suga?" You sniffled as tears fell down your cheeks. As you looked around to find everything now floating mid air. Having stopped when you got caught up in your memory. This wasn't the first time this had happened. But everytime it happened you always had Yoongi there to help you through it. Which always made you grateful for your familiar.

"Hey sweetheart," Yoongi soothed. He placed a hand on your cheeks drying your tears and to try and keep you grounded. Looking around Yoongi then with a flick of his wrist, made everything go to their proper place with his own magic. The magic the both of you shared together.

"Was I out of it again," you whispered curiously. Looking into his dark brown eyes wondering what had happened. Sometimes when this happened you could be in a daze and not know what was happening around you. Which caused Yoongi to worry for you.

"Yes, but it's okay," Yoongi reassured you. He then reached behind you and began to pull the blanket on the bed back. He then gently pushed you to lay back into bed. He knew it was a little earlier, but he wanted you to get enough sleep for your first day of school tomorrow. He was worried for you but had faith in you. He had faith that you would get through this and would come out on top.

"Let's get you to bed, okay you've got school tomorrow my little witch," He reminded you softly. As he pulled the blankets over you. Making sure you were comfortable in bed.

"Okay," you sighed. As you began to get comfortable. Looking at the ceiling you were stuck in your thoughts. But your attention is grabbed when you hear a wisp of wind and a soft crack sound. Signifying that Yoongi was shifting into his cat form. When he was down shifting into his black cat form Yoongi then jumped into bed with you. Allowing you to hold him close.

"Yoongi?" You whispered as you petted Yoongi. Who was laying on your chest and purring as he rubbed his head under your chin. He was trying desperately to calm you. Which seemed to be working as you sighed snuggling closer to him.

"Yes Y/n," Yoongi answered. Looking up at you with a tilt of his head, He was curious wondering what you would ask him.

"You won't ever leave or hurt me right ?" You whispered the question that was plaguing her mind at the moment. As you looked down to her familiar of two years. Yoongi was quick to look up at you. He didn't put it against you to ask him such a question after having your mother betray you. You always seemed to ask him every once in a while. Which broke his heart. But he was quick to answer without hesitation.

"Never I'll always be here for you Y/n no matter what. Now get some sleep," Yoongi promised you. As he nudged you under your chin and began to purr. Which led you to fall into a deep dreamless sleep to the sound of Yoongi's purring.

daichi x sugawara

Suga was losing his smile recently.

The stress of simply existing was getting to him, and it was like the walls were closing in.

Suga had made some bad decisions.

His wrists weren't bleeding. The stray cat he fed was just being grumpy. His smile wasn't getting faker and faker. He just hadn't slept well. His eyes weren't losing their sparkle. He was just concentrating on volleyball. He hadn't been himself lately. He was just focused on his studies.

Lies.

Sugawara Koushi was a fucking liar.

Every day, he felt like he was suffocating. He was drowning in the deep, black ocean, with no one to find him. His lungs were filling with water, he was screaming for help, but then he decided he didn't need to. Because he deserved this. He deserved to die alone, with nobody by his side. He deserved everything the world threw at him.

Or, at least that's what he thought.

Well, no matter. Nobody else's opinion was ever heard anyway, because Suga had been distancing himself from everybody in his life.

"Koushi, are you okay?" Daichi asked, snapping Suga out of his thoughts.

"Huh? Yeah, yeah, totally fine." Suga said.

"No, you're not. And you're going to tell me what's bothering you." Daichi said sternly, and Suga knew it was over because he used his i-am-captain-and-dad-to-a-bunch-of-kids-my-age-and-i-have-to-keep-them-in-check voice, not his suga-is-my-friend-and-i-care-deeply-about-him-and-want-him-to-be-okay voice.

So Suga told him everything.

Including his twelve step plan to putting himself out of his misery.

"Oh my god, Koushi…I– why didn't you say something? Please don't end it. Ever. Please. Everybody would be crushed." Daichi's eyes welled up with tears, and his voice cracked.

"Well, there is one thing I wanted to say to you before it's all over, but I guess I won't ever have to tell you now."

"You can still tell me, if you want."

"I'm gay, Daichi."

"Oh," Daichi blinked in surprise. "Suga, you know almost everyone on our volleyball team is gay, right? There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

"Not to my parents." Suga's bottom lip quivered and he looked away, ashamed.

"Suga," Daichi said, sweetly, "we all care about you, no matter what, okay? You are amazing. You are kind. You are Sugawara Koushi, and that is the biggest complement anybody could give you. Who cares what they think? It's your life."

And then the dam broke.

Suga held onto Daichi and sobbed, letting all his frustration, anger, and pain out into the brunette's chest. Daichi immediately wrapped his arms around him, and rubbed circles gently on his back as he whispered sweet nothings.

After Suga had cried until there were no tears left, he pulled away sniffling.

"Sorry." he muttered, embarrassed that he had probably got his tears and snot on Daichi's hoodie.

"Don't apologise. It's normal. You're human, Koushi," Daichi reassured him. Then, he leaned down slightly and kissed Suga on the forehead. "You can tell me anything. Anything at all, okay? I will never judge you."

"Well, there is one more thing I've been wanting to tell you." Suga blushed, biting his lip.

"What?"

"I'm in love with you, Daichi." Suga whispered.

Daichi's mouth fell open, as he confusedly stared at Suga. "Oh god, I knew I shouldn't have said that, I'm so sorry, uh, can we forget about—" Suga started rambling, but was interrupted by Daichi, kissing him softly. Delicately. As if he pressed his lips just a bit harder, Suga would break, would disappear, and it would all be over.

After a few seconds, Daichi pulled away.

Suga was crying again.

Tears dripped down his pink cheeks and rolled down to his chin as he bit his lip and cried softly.

"Shit, why are you crying? Should I have not done that?" Daichi gasped. "Am I a bad kisser?"

Suga slapped his arm gently. "No, these are happy tears. I've wanted that for so long now." Daichi sighed in relief.

"And, for the record, you are a pretty great kisser." Suga teased.

"Shut up!" Daichi blushed, his tan skin now tinted with bright red.

"I love you."

"...I love you too."

How about a change of topic, @fromtenthousandfeet?

Last night I watched the JK Golden mini-concert on YouTube. Hold on, I am going to relate this to Jimin, promise. Here are some things I noticed:

He only sang 12 songs. 10 from his album, and two from his BTS days: Still with You and Magic Shop (singing his part with the recording.)

There was a fair amount of talking. Also two brief videos. So that took up some time.

I wondered how he would work the collabs. As far as I could tell, he just sang Seven and 3D without including the others.

He used the backtrack for his BG vocals. Why don't they ever use real background singers? This seems so inexplicable to me.

The production values were, I would say, modest. As in, sparse.

This was definitely an event for Army and JK solos. RM was there and did speak briefly from the audience on how much he admired JK. He said the others couldn't attend because they had schedules or words to that effect.

OK, here's how this relates to Jimin. I keep hearing that Jimin doesn't have enough songs to do a concert, but he certainly has more than 12! He wouldn't even have to include his collabs (except SGMB?)

Does he have enough time to rest between the intense choreo ones and the no-choreo ones? I think so? And please include his Black Swan solo. And maybe a cover or two. Keeping hope alive for something in Spanish, como siempre, but there are other possibilities. Recently I read a recommendation for Human Nature by MJ. What a brilliant idea. I could totally see (hear) that.

Everybody seems to agree that the 1st song has to be SetMeFree, pt2. Hell, yeah! But could they bring in the actual choir, please? And I wonder if Suga would do the rap part--I'm glad he isn't on the album, but it would be cool to have a truly live performance... and something that ISN'T just like the recording. That's why you go to a concert, isn't it?

I mean, I get why they have to have a backtrack, but how about some live background vocals from background singers, too? I found it disconcerting when Jimin sang WHO on Jimmy Fallon and there were those moments when his recorded voice came in. Isn't there a way to use BG singers in those moments?

But...bottom line: Jimin has enough material to do his own concert. Perhaps not a full two hours, unless he had an opening act, but his own concert is entirely feasible and very desirable. I believe he has the fan base to support him, or am I being delusional?

Should we start making a set list?

Anon,

Thank you for this wonderful ask. I'm sorry I'm a bit late in responding.

All of your points are so on point (lol)! I'm now obsessing over the idea of Jimin covering the best song from MJ's Thriller (IMHO). JM was born to sing Human Nature!

While it wouldn't allow him a chance to rest, I would love an award show-style dance performance or two. Marionette Fake Love? Blindfolded Lie? OMG. And yes, let's get Black Swan in there, too. He doesn't have to repeat these performances, of course. Something new would be amazing. Do people understand just how one of a kind Jimin is? His dancing is on another level.

Backup singers? Yes, please! I beg. Rearrange his songs so that he doesn't need to rely on backtrack vocals and use real, human backup singers since add such warmth and depth to songs. Why is BH so violently opposed to them? And that choir from LA? They are breathtakingly talented. Please add them to the tour, too.

Finally, a song in Spanish? Claro que si! We know he has it in him - it's only a matter of time.

Anon, let's get the set list started, vet some possible opening acts, and start crowd funding for the tour because I don't trust BH to do anything.

more bokuroo fic recs by your friendly neighborhood bokuroo shipper

i'm back and i have more fic recommendations! here are a handful of bokuroo fics that i think some of you might enjoy, so let's get into it!:

please make sure to mind any ratings and tags associated with the fics that might not be listed here! they're suggestions so you can make informed decisions on your comfortability, so please keep tags and age ratings in mind!

☆ this is how it starts (this is what it means) by eurydicees

Kuroo isn’t quite sure how he got here. Here, being: stuffed in the backseat of Iwaizumi's car, listening to a combination of Suga’s music and Asahi’s nervous rambling that makes Kuroo want to claw his ears out, skipping out on his chemistry lab, and on a four hour drive to an MSBY Black Jackals game, getting ready to break his own heart. He just knows that, probably, it started with Bokuto.

rated: t (13+)

word count: 14k

tropes: friends to lovers, road trip, post-canon

why i'm recommending it: this is one of those cornerstone fics i just can't get out of my head. not only does it take place from kuroo's point of view as he navigates the nervousness of confessing to bokuto, but it's just so heartwarming and fulfilling in the end. if you haven't already, i definitely recommend putting this on your read-immediately-because-it's-bokuroo-being-bokuroo list!

☆ Belonging by notallballs

"Okay, look," Kuroo said, releasing him and rubbing at his temples wearily. "You wanna come share my bed? You don't have to sleep, but just lie down for a few hours, that cool?" Bokuto made a face. "Your room is so quiet." "I'll put some music on." Bokuto said nothing. "Kou. That okay? Will you try?" "...Yeah, okay." Bokuto's been having trouble sleeping, but when Kuroo invites him to share his bed, the careful balance of their friendship tips over.

rated: e (18+)

word count: 2k

tropes: friends to lovers, friends with benefits, roommates, sharing a bed, background college au

why i'm recommending it: it's sweet and simple! a common factor that many bokuroo enjoyers like myself love is the roommates trope (aka, THEY WERE ROOMMATES!) and it all comes around to a spicy but also comforting fic where they share a bed...and then they share a bed. what more could you want from a one-shot? bonus: kuroo calls bokuto "kou" and bokuto sleepily calls kuroo "k'ro" in this fic. how cute is that?!

☆ Fly Me To The Moon by Tearsaresalty

Kuroo might have fallen for the silver-haired singer of the jazz café he goes to study. No wait -- he's actually very much in love; he just doesn't realize it at first.

rated: g (everyone) word count: 5k tropes: coffee shop setting, college au, first date, fluff why i'm recommending it: first of all, musician!bokuto and pharmacy student!kuroo is the combination no one thought they needed but definitely deserved. it's cute, lighthearted, features a lineup of seijou characters working in a coffee shop, a well-made chemistry joke, and fluff! it's an all-around enjoyable fic if you want to read about kuroo and bokuto falling in love at first sight.

☆ Betting on Emotions by holdontoyourhulahoops

Kuroo agrees to pretend to be Bokuto's boyfriend for a few weeks so they can win a bet. It shouldn't be that big of a deal, if only his annoying feelings would stop getting in the way.

rated: t (13+) word count: 10k tropes: friends to lovers, fake dating, pining, canon compliant why i'm recommending it: bokuroo and fake dating basically go hand-in-hand when it comes to common tropes with this ship, and honestly? it totally works for them! this is a really nice fic that features some of the best tropes with canon compliant bokuroo: friends to lovers (of course), fake dating (who doesn't love a good pretend boyfriend situation?), pining (majorly), and some good ol' cute moments! it's a pretty enjoyable, down-to-earth fic that i think is worth a read.

☆ #KurooStealsPants2K20 by kuidore

Kuroo was a good person. He was a good person, and he didn't deserve this. He could almost hear Kenma’s disbelieving scoff, and he resisted the urge to mentally tell his best friend to shut his damn mouth (as if it would actually do anything). He didn’t need imaginary Kenma’s judgment at the moment. He’d deal with enough of that from real Kenma later. "I need to borrow your pants." AKA Kuroo needs pants for a lab, Bokuto has the best (or worst) timing, and Kuroo can't catch a fucking break.

rated: e (18+)

word count: 89k

tropes: strangers to friends to lovers, different first meeting, college au, mutual pining, slow burn/build

why i'm recommending it: you might be thinking to yourself, wow, there's been a lot of pining and college fics, i wonder if this one will be different. well, i have good news and more good news: this fic has all of that and more! because, really, how can those things be overused when it comes to bokuroo? not only is this fic longer and more of a slow burn than most other fics i've recommended, but it's full of group chat funnies, angsty moments, and so much more! it's a really fun read, even if you think you're over the college au with mutual pining and friends to lovers, because this one starts out with kuroo stealing bokuto's pants...cue a knowing smirking face here. (there's also a wonderful meet-the-parents one-shot sequel that's also a funny and great follow-up!)

anddd that's a wrap! i hope some of you all were able to find something new to read for bokuroo and have a wonderful lovely amazing bokuroo day!

#bokuroo #bokuto #kuroo #koutarou #testurou #fanfic #fic rec #i know there was actually a lot of college aus and pining in this one #so let me know if y'all want me to curate fics for other aus and other tropes!!!#i have so many but these are just the ones that came to my mind first since i came back

1. AM I WRONG?

SUGA'S P.O.V:

It hurts..

And I cannot fathom the reason why she holds my joy so much in her hands. Now that she is leaving, she's taking away my joy along with her.

She may never know how much I love her. Did the winds ever tell her about the secrets I shared when we were alone, all by ourselves?

Only if I had the courage, the determination to speak up, I would be the one waiting for her at the altar, all clad in that stunning black suit.

♡

Accidentally loving and falling for her has always been my favourite mistake. All she ever did was smile at me and I was hers.

I've read in books, watched in movies and heard people say that we can do anything for the person we love and this thing introduced me, brought me to a situation where I'm the pianist at the wedding of a person whom I've been loving since 3 fucking years. I guess this is the least wanted thing I can do for her as she's being taken away from me, forever.

But I think, fate gave me one last chance to make her mine.

Why?

Because I just saw Y/N eloping from her wedding and guess what...?

I AM GONNA HELP HER TO RUN AWAY, TO ESCAPE.

Being a bit selfish won't hurt, right?

10 Qs for Writers

Thank you so much for the tag @thoughtsofthegirlwiththecurl <3

How many works do you have on AO3? 12 (which includes one anonymous fic)

What's your total AO3 wordcount? 44,278

What fandoms do you write for? So far, Check, Please! mostly, though I've written/posted for Attack on Titan, and have various WIPs for both Haikyuu and Vinland Saga! (the Vinland Saga one might be posted soon.......)

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Of course!! I try to respond to every one

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Thankfully not to my knowledge

Have you ever co-written a fic before? I haven't

What's your all-time favorite ship? Damn, that's a tough one. I love too many too much. But, really, I think Daichi/Suga from Haikyuu just barely edges out Jack/Bitty from Check, Please! as my all-time favorite. Despite Zimbits being my favorite dynamic, Daisuga just found me at one of my darkest moments of life and has quickly grown to be my go-to comfort ship

What are your writing strengths? I'd say imagery and the justifiable overuse of em dashes, but I'm very interested in what others might think!!

What are you writing weaknesses? Perfectionism. I have the worst habit of editing as I write, because even though it's the first draft, when I read it back I'm reading it as if it were already posted/published. And that then leads me to obsess over every single sentence and phrase, usually before it even leaves my head, and I'll go back and reread what I've already written and rewrite it all, and it slowly dissolves me until I get so overwhelmed and burnt out that I just. Jump ship lol.

It's why all but one of my posted fics are less than 5k words - sometimes I get the burst of inspiration to sit down for 3-4 hours and bust out a quick 1-3k word fic (i.e., I black out and suddenly a fic appears before me), and it's complete enough for me to feel comfortable posting. Those are just so rare to occur, like maybe 2-3 times a year at most

First fandom you wrote for? God, I want to say either Halo Reach or the Red vs Blue webseries by RoosterTeeth (also Halo Reach, really), but that was so long ago that I don't know if I actually wrote something or dreamed that I did lol. I definitely know that somewhere on my middle-school-assigned Google Drive, there's a half-written World War Z reader-insert fanfic collecting dust haha.

But if we're talking about the first fandom I wrote and completed a fic for, then Attack on Titan.

Tagging (with no pressure): @montrealmadison @doggernaut @parvuls @gordiemeow @a-very-gay-disaster @vitaliskravtsov @starthecozy open tag for anyone else who sees this and wants to do it!!

#me if i can ever overcome my need to be perfect:#tag game

the sweet things in life (tsukishima x reader)

previous || next

chapter 2: meet the new manager

The classroom had about 20 desks, with a students name on each. You would have assigned seating for the foreseeable future, it seemed.

You sat down at your seat, next to the window in the left side of the room. Unfortunately, Yoshida and Nakahara were on the opposite end of the room as you. You were happy they at least were near each other. You had the fortune (or misfortune, it was hard to tell) of being placed next to the rude blond boy. You read off his name card 'Tsukishima Kei'. You looked around the room and saw that his friend from the tour was sat a few rows behind you. You made eye contact and waved at him. He kindly waved back. It seemed that the two weren't entirely similar, probably a good thing.

The teacher asked for everyone's attention, and over the next few hours you went over the curriculum for math, history, Japanese, English, and more. None of it was difficult to understand, it was only hard to follow because of how dull it was. You were bored out of your mind, and stared out the window. The blond kicked the leg of your desk.

"What?!" you whisper shouted.

"Pay attention, or is your attention span so short you can't even listen to what the teacher says when he's actually teaching?" he remarked back. So snarky.

You decided to amuse him and pay attention to the teacher while explaining the expectations for homework and exams. All you really wanted to think about was how to make a good first impression to the volleyball team after school. Finally, when you were dismissed for the day, you were the first person out of the room as you ran to the gym.

Standing outside of the volleyball gym, you waited for a second with bated breath before pushing open the doors. To your surprise, it was only Shimizu and a few other guys that were already there.

"Shimizu, hi!" you called out to her.

"Please, call me Kiyoko. But I'd like you to meet the other third years," she said, gesturing to the three guys standing with her.

"Daichi Sawamura. I'm captain of the team." The one with short dark hair told you, before holding his hand up to one with gray hair. "This is Sugawara Koushi, the vice captain" he introduced him.

"You can call me Suga, if you'd like" he cutely smiled. He was a pretty boy in your opinion. You smiled at him Then, Daichi gestured to the last of them, who looked like a grown man.

"This is Asahi Azumane, about the most timid ace you'll ever meet" he joked. Suga snickered

"Hey! Why'd you guys get nice introductions and I get that!" he complained. Despite having a 'scary' appearance, he was a total scaredy cat.

"I'm (l/n) (y/n) of class 1-4, it's nice to meet you all. I look forward to working with and supporting you" you told them.

The advisor, Takeda-sensei, arrived soon after you were introduced to the third years. He was a polite man, who was very excited to be working with the volleyball team despite not having any real expertise in the sport. You were lucky that everyone on the team so far was so nice.

You shouldn't have spoken too soon, because sure enough the door opened, and Tsukishima and his friend entered the gym. Your eyes widened when you caught sight of him. No way, you thought. Just after him came three guys who you figured were second years.

"You guys must be the new first years" Daichi said. "Tsukishima and Yamaguchi, is that right?"

The shorter boy, Yamaguchi, only nodded while Tsukishima stood there with a neutral expression. He looked around at the other players, to Kiyoko, and then to you.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, looking directly at you. You were taken aback but quickly snapped back.

"I'm the assistant manager now, so you better get used to me" you retort. His eyes widen for a second at your response but he merely smirks and shakes his head.

A commotion from outside was heard, and a guy dragged in both a black haired boy and a ginger. They were followed by another short boy, most likely the libero if you had to guess. You couldn't help but laugh at the two being literally dragged.

"Tanaka let go of them!" Suga shouted. Tanaka looked over in his direction, and caught sight of Kiyoko. It was like a switch flipped, and he dropped the two on the ground to run over to Kiyoko. He collapsed to his knees in front of her.

"Kiyoko, perfect goddess, I haven't seen you in so long!" he exclaimed. He then noticed you standing next to her and quickly got back up. "And what's this? Another manager?" he questioned. "Noya, get over here".

The short boy came and stood next to him, looking you up and down.

"Oooh, she's really cute!" he said. You weren't sure how to feel. You were both flustered and kind of weirded out. Suga came and wrapped his arm around your shoulder though.

"Leave her alone! It's her first day" he defended. You were a very big Suga fan by now.

Kiyoko was also giving the two a blank stare, which finally made them back off. The other two first years, Hinata and Kageyama, finally made their way over. All they had to for was wait for the coach to finally show up. A man named Ukai Kenshin, who was the grandson of Karasuno's famous Coach Ukai. When he arrived from his job, practice couldn't officially begin.

Your job was honestly simple enough, you merely helped Kiyoko with anything she asked of you. You brought out ball carts, blew up ones that were missing some air, and made sure all of the players were doing the drills.

It being the first practice, the boys ran some simple drills. They worked on hitting/blocking, digging, and serve-receive. Nearly everytime Hinata went to hit the ball, it was swiftly blocked by Tsukishima. He might be a jerk, you thought, but he's pretty good. The other players were quite impressive too though. Asahi had some insanely powerful hits, while Nishinoya had flawless receives and digs. Daichi was a good all-around player, while Tanaka had a fierce energy that demanded everyone's attention.

The most impressive in your opinion though was of the setter, Kageyama. The accuracy of his sets, the calculated nature behind them. He always seemed to know exactly when and where his hitter would want it. On a particular set you could barely even see, Hinata managed to slam it down before you could blink. You stood stunned, unable to move from pure shock. The rest of the team reacted similarly. It was crazy to see two first years who had never been on a team together before pull off something so difficult seamlessly.

When practice finally concluded, you listened to the coach and advisor give some remarks and how they looked forward to their season together. You stood with your hands folded and looked at each player. Nearly all had their eyes trained on the coach. When you glanced at Tsukishima, he looked over at you. You stuck your tongue out at him, and you could have sworn you saw the faintest ever smallest most minute grace of a smile on his lips. Before you could really say, he looked back to Ukai and that was the end of that.

"Everybody get a good nights rest, and ice yourself if you need it" Ukai advised and then dismissed the team. You started taking down the net with Kiyoko, though you were having a hard time reaching the top of the pole to remove the net line. Someone reached up from behind you and undid it for you. You looked up, and to your shock saw Tsukishima.

"It was getting embarrassing watching you struggle so badly" he snarked before heading towards the door. You only rolled your eyes and watched him walk out. He was an interesting guy to say the least.
