Fic Recs

I read waaaay too many fics, so I decided to list some of my favorites here! I mainly read IwaOi, BokuAka, SakuAtsu, Klance, Shin Soukoku, and Soukoku

Here Comes Your Man

Pairing: IwaOi

Word Count: 8,801

Status: Complete, 1/1

Rated: Teen & Up

Summary:

Iwaizumi’s left his cell phone on the bench, and while Suga keeps his gaze away from Iwaizumi the phone lights up with a new message. and I Iwa-chan, it reads, Have a good day today! Good luck! <3 <3 <3 Suga chokes. It’s hard to imagine anyone calling the scowling and fierce Doctor Iwaizumi “Iwa-chan.” But marriage probably comes with all sorts of liberties. Mrs. Iwaizumi must be quite the doting wife, Suga thinks. Delivering hand-made bentos and sending along loving messages. 

No one really knows much about the new surgical resident, Doctor Iwaizumi, other than the fact that he's married. Suga's determined to find out more, and make a friend of him in the process.

I know it's been forever since I posted! I just started reading more traditional books in the last few years. That being said, I do have almost 500 bookmarks on AO3 that need to be shared.

Anyway! This is such a cute fic. I hope you guys like it!

The PDA Jar

Pairing: IwaOi

Word Count: 10,480

Status: Complete, 1/1

Rated: Teen & Up

Summary:

“What is that thing for?”

“I’m glad you asked, captain. This… is the Public Display of Affection jar. Or PDA jar for short.”

“Now whenever you do something that may hurt our children’s innocence, you’ll have to put money in the jar as a punishment."

Yeah. I loved this one. I decided to try reading more physical books this year (so far I've read 52 ), so I haven't been reading much fanfiction but THIS ONE. Suddenly I remember why I've spent so much time on AO3

Behind Bricks

Pairing: BokuAka

Word Count: 60,400

Status: Complete, 14/14

Rated: Explicit

Summary:

Akaashi has always had a good idea of what his future would look like.

Becoming a prostitute hadn't been part of the plan. 

Bokuto Koutarou wasn't part of the plan, either. Akaashi meets him by chance, and is drawn in by Bokuto's optimism and authenticity. He's never met anyone like Bokuto, and despite his initial reluctance, Akaashi finds himself getting a little too attached.

This is seriously my favorite BokuAka fic of all time. I'd recommend this fic even if you don't know who the characters are. I love this story, and Bokuto and Akaashi's relationship in this is UNMATCHED. I just need everyone who hasn't read this to go read it right now. or else...

daisy rings and frivolous things (i am deliriously in love with you)

Word Count: 15,879

Status: Complete, 1/1

Rated: NA

Akaashi Keiji is in love. Bokuto Koutarou is a star. Everyone on Fukurodani has a gambling problem.

This fic is so cute it hurts. I think I cried the first I read this because I couldn't handle it??? If you like bokuaka this is a must, and pining Akaashi is the absolute sweetest thing.

but we're not, like, in love

Pairing: SakuAtsu

Word Count: 17,303

Status: Complete, 4/4

Rated: Explicit

Summary:

Neither Kiyoomi nor Atsumu are strangers to casual sex. The reason for that is “a lack of emotional capacity,” as Kiyoomi would say, and Atsumu is “just really horny”. They sometimes meet in the hallways when they pull their victims behind them, heated gazes clashing in the space between them. That they end up sleeping with each other at some point is an inevitability, and so is the rest. They just take a while to realize it.  Featuring the complications of room assignments, unintentional domesticity and a lot of mutual dumbassery. Also, the bone-deep exasperation of an entire volleyball team.

How have I not already recommended this??? This fic is so good omg. Emotional slow burn in the best way because they're both dense:,) go read.

In Exchange

Pairing: Lance x Other

Word Count: 13,675

Status: Complete, 4/4

Rated: Explicit

Summary:

How often do paladins find themselves stuck on alien planets? Lots. Lance is trapped on a planet with a vicious predator, no food, and no way to leave. He found one way to solve a good chunk of these problems by establishing a symbiotic relationship with a group of the local fauna. -- Strictly a kink fic for myself. The first chapter is optional. The rest of the chapters are kink.

This fic is one of the many reasons my AO3 history will forever remain between me and God... very much a kink fic; very much not for everyone.

Chains of Iron, Chains of Gold

Pairing: Pip x Herbert

Word Count: 2,179

Status: Completed, 1/1

Rated: Explicit

Summary:

A rewriting of Chapter 50, better known as the most homoerotic burn care scene in all of 19th-century English literature.

This is not an anime pairing (rare post!), but if you've ever read Great Expectations I HIGHLY recommend this. You can't tell me Pip and Herbert weren't in love. "My dear, dear, Handel" ??? PLEASE

Bro Bonding in B-Sharp Major

Pairing: BokuAka

Word Count: 75,146

Status: Completed, 9/9

Rated: Explicit

Summary:

If he would ever have to point to the most horny-and-single-17-year-old thing he’s ever done, Bokuto would certainly consider his most recent chat logs as a suitable candidate for that title.

(Aka Bokuto would have never imagined that late-night chats with Kuroo about life, jerking off, and deepening the bonds between bros would lead him to Skype sex with Akaashi, but alas he wasn’t one to complain.)

Huuugeee fan of this one. It's so cute and very much mutual pining / emotional slow burn.

Laughter Lines

Pairing: Klance

Word Count: 54,624

Status: Incomplete, 13/17

Rated: Mature

Summary:

Once a homeless teenager, Keith is now a young, successful businessman who owns the most popular new gym in the state. Lance is a surrogate, single dad to his young siblings, and is doing his best to make ends meet. Neither has the time or desire to fall in love. Doesn’t stop it from happening, unfortunately.

*

“Surprisingly, no one wants to go out with the 23 year old dude with three kids under four and no time or money to treat them to fancy dates.”

“I do.”

Even though this fic isn’t completed, it reads like it is (otherwise I wouldn’t post it). It’s so weird bc I hate kids irl, but I absolutely adore fics where one of the pairing has kids/looks after their younger siblings. This fic is peak Lance, and I can’t recommend it enough T.T

Word Count: 13,996

Rated: Unrated

Summary:

“What the hell, guys?” Pidge squawked, wrestling away from Matt. “Why are you pretending to be a couple?”

Or: Matt and Lance pretend to be a couple because Shiro and Keith are clueless as hell.

HOW HAVE I NOT ALREADY POSTED THIS ONE? This fic literally has everything: mutual pining, fake dating, an abundance of Pidge, the list goes on... God I love fics with clueless Lance and Keith :’)

one more time, with feeling

Pairing: Sakuatsu

Word Count: 15,311

Status: Complete, 1/1

Rated: Teen & Up

Summary:

Kiyoomi has a crush, but there’s just one, tiny problem: he basically malfunctions around his senpai. So when he finds out that his high school rival and now college batchmate is actually a shapeshifter, he swallows his pride for a favor: he asks Atsumu to shapeshift as his crush and be his practice date.

Everybody shut up rn and go read this. This fic is so unique and cute and I just loved it so much. I love awkward Sakusa so much, and the touch of rivals to lovers was, MWAH, chef’s kiss. GO READ

Don’t Break Connection, Baby

Pairing: Klance

Word Count: 38,721

Status: Complete, 10/10

Rated: Mature

Summary:

Keith works part-time as a phone sex operator and receives a prank call from Lance. This does not go as planned for Lance. Thus begins the adventure of our dear sweet goofball continuing to call Keith to fuck with him (but not like fuck fuck with him...at least not yet). And y'know, eventually having legit conversations with him and getting attached and growing on Keith.

aka the phone sex operator fic no one asked for

I’m seriously doubting the fact that I haven’t already posted this one. It’s a relatively popular fic in the lance universe, so you may have already read it (if you haven’t, go rn). Anyway, I’ve read this fic a whopping 41 times, so that should say enough lol

all the world’s a stage

Pairing: Viktor Nikiforov/Katsuki Yuuri

Word Count: 112,291

Status: Complete, 10/10

Rated: Explicit

Summary:

Everyone has a guilty pleasure.

For Yuuri, it just happens to be romance movies starring famous heartthrob Victor Nikiforov.

(And, honestly, on the spectrum of guilty pleasures, he figures that his is on the far, far more innocent side.)

Not sure how I haven’t already done this one??? I’ve read this fic several times. I always get tired of Vikturi fics because I feel like they’re all really similar, but this is a really good AU! I’m obsessed with the idea of Viktor as a famous actor ( it’s probably why I like this fic so much). Is the yoi fanbase still alive? I’ll rec this anyway lol

Don’t Tell a Soul

Pairing: Fushiguro Megumi/Itadori Yuuji

Word Count: 4,345

Status: Complete, 1/1

Rated: Teen & Up

Summary:

Itadori exposed his soul mark tattoo for their perusal. Zenin Megumi. “Interesting.” Gojo’s grin could only be described as shit eating. “Fushiguro, what’s your given name, again?” Play dumb. Megumi blurted out the first response he could think of. “I don’t have one.” “Wha—really?” Itadori cocked his head. “Your parents never named you?” “No.” “We could come up with a name for you! How about Sasuke?” “You’re joking.” “Ooh! What about Lawrence? I know it’s not a Japanese name, but it sounds cool!” “You only think that because of Jennifer Lawrence!”

I read this a while ago, but I remember it being pretty light and cute :) I think this is the first ItaFushi fic I ever read! If you guys know any good ones please send them to me T.T
