Devotion from Two Angles by Mirykirigum

The Earth was made for them, for those who loved on purpose. It just took two halves of a whole to see it. Or: Navigating your early twenties is hard. Navigating your early twenties when another piece of you is miles away is even worse. They make it work. Somehow.

Black Paper Planes by coffins

Completed | T | 19.8k

Keiji is a second year now and he has three goals for the school year: be in the honour roll, win the nationals and stop liking Bokuto.

Akaashi Keiji shouldn’t like boys. It’s not normal and it isn’t expected of society- and yet he’s in love with Bokuto Koutarou, a winsome and garrulous third year and most importantly, a boy.

(in which Akaashi just really wants to be a normal heterosexual guy in a homophobic society but can’t because of a boy who seems to hold the universe in his eyes).

nth time’s the charm by shrimpheavnnow

Completed | T | 3.4k

The article — Ten Easiest Demons To Summon For Novice Witches! — had very explicitly stated that the demon was supposed to be small, bewinged, and hesitant and pliable.

Not far too tall, sporting four horns, a rather pointy-looking tail, and a decidedly un-hesitant and un-pliable snarl. With fangs.

not even half as pretty by shrimpheavnnow

Completed | M | 11.1k

Iwa shakes his head, huffing out a soft chuckle. Tooru moves in to fix his tie, and Iwa tilts his head up, letting Tooru do so. “Is it stupid that I’m feeling a little nervous?”

Tooru allows himself to take longer than necessary in adjusting Iwa’s tie. Allows himself to brush his fingers against Iwa’s neck, allows himself to feel the warmth of Iwa’s presence; allows himself to pretend he can do this everyday.

***

Tooru never thought he’d be the best man at Iwa’s wedding, but, well – here they are.

yours for the weekend (‘tis the damn season) by thelittlebirdthattoldyou

Completed | T | 14.4k

“I missed you,” Oikawa says.

“I missed you, too.”

“Can we…” Oikawa licks his lips. “Just for the weekend?”

Iwaizumi closes his eyes, exhales. He wonders how it’s possible that every time Oikawa returns, it’s like he never left at all. They laugh and they kiss and act like nothing could ever separate them up to the moment of his departure. Then he slips through Iwaizumi’s fingers like gossamer thread, and the year of emptiness in between visits grows longer every time.

Still. “Just for the weekend,” Iwaizumi agrees.

-

Every year, Hollywood actor Oikawa Tooru returns to his hometown and the arms of his childhood best friend. This time, something’s different.

an allegory of all the things we could’ve been by iwaoiks

Completed | T | 16.6k

“They say,” Oikawa begins, running long fingers down Iwaizumi’s spine, “that when two people are destined to be lovers, the Gods bind them together with an invisible red cord.” Iwaizumi raises a brow, conjuring only vague recollections of such a story told by his mother, but does not interrupt. Oikawa continues, “No matter how far apart they are, no matter how long it takes, they’ll always find each other. In this life or the next.”

Outside, the moon is just beginning to slip from the sky. Iwaizumi brushes Oikawa’s hair behind his ear, quiet and pensive, before he reaches out for Oikawa’s hand. Their fingers slot against each other, a perfect fit, and Iwaizumi brings their hands closer to his mouth. He presses his lips to Oikawa’s knuckles. In the light of the retreating moon, Iwaizumi thinks that Oikawa looks ephemeral.

“I don’t know anything about some red string,” Iwaizumi murmurs into the cracks of Oikawa’s skin, “or even about lifetimes or fate. But no matter where you are, I’ll find you. Gods or otherwise.”

[or: Iwaizumi and Oikawa make a promise they intend to keep.]

“On March 15th, 20XX, Oikawa Tooru died in a car accident. It was later made known to us that the accident was, unfortunately, deliberate.

Like Perennials by tether (tothemoon)

Completed | T | 35.5k

“I figured it out about a month before graduation.”

When Oikawa explains this, they are sitting together in a boat in the middle of Lake Pichola, India, hiding at the end of the fourteenth century with no one to bother them. Hajime sifts his hand through the water to cool his face while Oikawa pauses to collect himself, sights fixed on the royal blue of an emerging night sky. He holds two fingers up to the yellowed moon, pinches it into forced perspective, and palms it completely to force the light out of his eye. At the view, he smiles like he’s defeated all the knowing gods, the fates and their fickle futures, and humbles himself from the stratosphere.

“You know the story, Iwa-chan,” Oikawa tells him, back on earth. “Boy jumps to Miyagi in attempt to run away. It is raining, when he meets another, and they are both five years old. Neither of them can decide if he is from years past, or years to come. Hell, he could be a monster, for all they know.”

Full Bloom by bumblebeesknees

Completed | E | 57.5k

After the closing ceremonies, Oikawa and Iwaizumi head back home to Miyagi. Turns out this thing between them that’s been a lifetime in the making – that probably should’ve been made whole years ago – still needs a little more time to form. -

It should be difficult to find any single instance that stands out brighter than the rest, all of them powered by the same steady current of lifelong affection, but there are two moments Hajime keeps going back to:

In the first, they’re eighteen.

Press and Hold to Delete by Esselle

Completed | G | 2.2k

‘Kageyama clutches his phone in his sweaty grip and stares at it unblinkingly. The screen is entirely too bright in the dark of his room and his eyes are starting to burn. It is punishment, he thinks, punishment for not seeing the error of his ways until it was far, far too late.

I like you.

The message, bold and black on the stark white LINE background, is just there. It’s there, on his phone screen, a reminder of his stupidity, of all the ways in which he has made a Terrible Mistake. At the top of the chat, the name of the recipient glares back at him:

Hinata Shouyou.’

–

Kageyama sends an impulsive text at 2 AM, and immediately regrets it.

“I’m gonna run you over with this truck,” Kageyama says, with only half of his usual conviction.

(Because frankly, he’s still flabbergasted that Hinata would remember his favorite flavor.)

Or, in which Kageyama and Hinata drive an ice cream truck for a week, the former struggles with a crush, and the latter dares to eat the popsicles without paying.

“I got offers from two universities,” Kageyama announces, pointing at his chest with his thumb. “I’m going to play volleyball at Keio this spring.”

“You still have to pass an exam, even if it’s an easy one,” Takeda-sensei hurries to add, although he is beaming and bursting with pride at his fluffy little crow chick taking off to play volleyball at a university level.

“I’ll pass,” Kageyama says with the same kind of confidence he uses when he tells Hinata he’ll get the toss to him. He looks straight at Hinata, and Hinata jerks and turns red, wondering if maybe Kageyama knew he was daydreaming about something as stupid as the way Kageyama talks to him during a game. But then Kageyama just points at him and says, “You’d better get in, too.”

Hinata, stupid, naive, idiot that he is, grins wide and nods and says, “Yeah!”

He doesn’t know what he’s in for.

I Must Be Dreaming by todxrxki

Completed | T | 11.2k

Kenma Kozume, university student and soulmate skeptic, is not fond of all of pop rock band Neko’s frontman, Tetsurou Kuroo, believing him to be a party boy and a corporate sellout. However, his world turns upside down when Tetsurou’s soulmark gets leaked to the media - and it’s a mark that’s all too familiar.

Beginning’s End by todxrxki

Somehow over the course of Kenma’s lifetime, he’s never really had an opportunity to miss Kuroo. He’s always been there. Even when they went to different schools, Kuroo would meet him afterwards so they could walk home together, shoulders brushing, Kuroo occasionally taking the opportunity to guide him when his nose was buried in the newest video game. The thought of Kuroo not being there anymore is uncomfortable, to say the least. / Kozume Kenma’s third year and the changes the year brings in himself and his relationship with Kuroo Tetsurou.

IwaOi & KageHina || The Haunting of Oikawa Tooru by Esselle

Completed | T | 5.7k

This is not how Tooru wanted to spend his day. It’s not his fault he’s so in tune with the spirits. He didn’t ask to have his house haunted—he’s not even getting paid for this.

But unfortunately, they won’t go away until he figures out how to help them be at peace.

“Okay,” Tooru says, “so Chibi-chan, you foolishly summoned Tobio-chan’s restless spirit, and he’s still too clueless to figure out how to move on, hmm?”

–

Tooru prefers not meddling in the affairs of the dead. Sometimes, however, their spirits don’t give him that option.

“Keep the jacket— burn it, sell it, whatever. I have plenty of spare ones.” Kiyoomi says haughtily before rushing away. He did stop, just for a second, to look at Atsumu one last time before he disappeared into the arena, leaving Atsumu behind. Atsumu has to bite his tongue from calling Kiyoomi back just to say shit like fuck ya, i didn’t ask for the jacket ya asshole, but the frosty air from the darkening hour is cold and he really do not want to be left in the open without any protection. Taking a moment to breathe deeply just to squash the annoyance that came with interacting with Kiyoomi— a familiar territory, not whatever that happened just now, Atsumu catches the last slither of light falling from the sky before ultimately heading back to his team. (It all started with a jacket under a sun set and Miya Atsumu found himself falling for Sakusa Kiyoomi)

WIP | M | 91.5k

Most Omegas in the world have mates - usually someone they know and once they find each other, they are given a government issued house and expected to get on with it. Hinata doesn’t want a mate, especially not a boy so he’s pretty devastated when he finds out he has not one, not two, but three mates - two of which are Alphas, bound to fight for dominance over him. With a heat each month and his mates easily losing control when it comes to him, the four must learn a way to live alongside each other without snarky comments, fights and brooding in the corner - all while pretending they’re not feeling anything for each other.

astronomy in reverse (it was me who was discovered) by Flumes

Completed | T | 22.1k

It’s five hours from Tokyo to Sendai. It’s five years from Fukurodani Academy to the Black Jackals. It’s five sets between win and loss and five seconds to miss that final point. It’s five; the number of Fukurodani’s vice-captain and setter for one blinding, beautiful year. It’s five; like an identity branded into his heart, the only number that holds any meaning for him. Black and white and gold.

“You always pick five,” Udai muses in the wake of the staff betting pool. Akaashi’s not even sure what they’re betting on, aware that his final deadline to have the latest manuscript submitted is in five days.

“Five is a good number.”

It’s five years since Akaashi watched Bokuto step into the light of the future and five years since he last set a volleyball into the air on centre court. It’s been five years, and in not one of them has he forgotten what it felt like to stand beneath the trajectory of a shooting star.

a call to brazil costs several thousand yen by emleewrites

Completed | T | 10.9k

Ginger gives him a strange look before snorting loudly. “God, you’re weird,” he says, voice shaking with barely suppressed laughter. “Do you normally harass people for games and ask them bizarre questions, or am I just special?”

Tobio feels a strange urge to punch him and stalk away, but he refrains.

“I need to join a beach volleyball game for… practice,” Tobio grits out eventually, getting back on topic. He can’t let his temper blow this opportunity – the chances of him finding another random Japanese speaker playing beach volleyball are likely to be slim. “Our coach sent us here.”

“Practice? For indoor?” Ginger asks, but he has the decency to look intrigued, pulling his cap back on and rubbing his chin thoughtfully. “To like, transfer skills and stuff?”

“Something like that,” Tobio shrugs. “So can I join or what?”

-

Kageyama Tobio is tasked with joining a beach volleyball game in Brazil shortly after Team Japan's defeat at the Olympics. By some miracle, he finds a Japanese player called Hinata Shouyou, and life is never quite the same after that.

“Your coupons expired yesterday,” Iwaizumi informs him curtly, sticking his hand out at the customer and thrusting the brochure back at him. “And even if they didn’t, it says in the fine print that the offer is limited to up to four items anyway, so.”

please help me find it i would Cry i want to read it again so bad

hi anon! unfortunately, i couldn’t find anything that matches your description exactly. the fic i linked below was the closest thing i could find :’) it’s actually really similar to your description, but hinata doesn’t have a ring with him. hopefully it’s what you’re looking for! if not, i’d rly appreciate it if someone who sees this & have read the fic shares it in the comments/reblogs below <3

burnt by sunbeams by emleewrites

Completed | T | 38.0k

Tobio drops his hands from his face at Hinata’s bright voice and looks down. Hinata beams up at him, wide and blinding, a ball of sunshine on a gymnasium floor. Tobio kind of feels like he’s burning when Hinata looks like this – sunbeams personified – but that’s okay.

He’ll happily spend the rest of his life getting burned by Hinata Shouyou.

-

Kageyama thinks that being in a relationship seems to be simple at first. It's just Hinata; there's just a lot more kissing involved. But no relationship is without challenges. And for Kageyama, he'll weather them all, so long as he gets to bask in the sun.
