Hi, I am new to the Drarry-fandom 💚❤💚I love fanfiction and want to read a good, long and completed story. Which fic do you recommend me to read as my first (!) one? Hugs and cuddles for you

Hello there lovely and let me welcome you in this amazing fandom!

I don’t know what kind of fic you’re most interested in, so I’ll link a few of my faves here with a small summary and tags and you can decide which one you want to read. All of them are highly recommended, have read them (I’ve read many of them more than once).

Chaptered fics:

Turn by Saras_girl; W: 306708, E, M/M, AU, Epilogue compliant

-> Turn is one of the first chaptered fics I’ve read for this fandom and was an instant favourite of mine. I always talk about importance of fiction and how it can affect you so much. You sometimes search for specific fics but then a fic finds you.. at the right time and it just stays with you. That’s Turn for me and a lot of other people. It deals with Harry later in life, being unhappy with his life but can’t pinpoint why. He questions some of his decision he did/didn’t make and how life could have been. This prompts a journey of self-discovery and righting some wrongs..of sorts and being true to yourself even if people think it’s a mid-life crisis.

Check out these by Saras_girl too: Foundations verse (mainly Reparations and it’s sequel Foundations); Talk to me; Helix (a cute post-war eight year fic); Salt on the Western Wind.

Grounds for divorce by @tepre; W: 122217, E, M/M, EWE, Accidental bonding!

-> I cannot stop talking about this fic. Another one of those “right fic at the right time” situation. Be prepared to feel all the feelings, because these boys are sometimes so stupid and blind that they end up hurting each other before they learn how to love each other the way they need. It deals with a lot, a kick-start is them accidentally bonding and from then they have to find a way to live their life. They learn a lot about themselves, each other, their families. It is a beautiful piece of writing that made me cry, laugh, feel anguished, ecstatic and joyful. It is a MUST READ for sure.

I could be wrong, I could be ready by @harryromper; W: 57343, M, M/M, EWE

-> Magical theory, what ifs? I mean, this is a brilliant combination of both, mixed with Harry discovering himself still. I stayed up all night to read it because I just couldn’t leave it like that. I love this so much, I’ll be re-reading this again for sure!

Changing Tides by @carpemermaidtales; W: 109,687, E, M/M, Pirate AU

-> THIS FIC… I mean. Honestly. I found this fic through tumblr, saw the fanart and the fic was linked down below. I’m so glad I clicked on it. I love it so much, you can’t imagine. Draco accidentally finds himself entangled with pirates and his life changes. He finds himself in the most unlikely place in the most unlikely situation. The whole journey is amazing, filled with laughter, tears and wholesomeness.

This Year’s Love by trishjames; W: 84000, E, M/M, EWE

-> This fanfic is a journey. Harry goes through so much and learns things about himself because a situation forces him to. He is a dick at times and sometimes doesn’t realise how he can hurt the people he loves. But he comes around and beautiful things happen thanks to that. Read this, you won’t be disappointed.

That Old Black Magic by @bixgirl1; W: 77777, E, M/M, EWE, Arranged marriage

-> Ugh, this killed me. Nothing better than Draco and Harry having to accept things about the other one and working through their issues, finding each other in the most unlikely situations.

Azoth by zeitgeistic (faire_weather); W: 88722, E, M/M

-> One of the Drarry fandom classics. A lot of magical theory, alchemy, our favourite boys, eight year. I’ve read it a long long time ago, so my memory can be fuzy but I know its amazing and worth the read!

Small Blessings by oldenuf2nb; W: 37020, M, M/M

-> Another fic that I’ve read a while ago, maybe 10 years ago but I remember I loved it. Harry creates a family for himself, finds a friend in Pansy Parkinson and life connects him to Draco in an unforeseen way. Contains a lot of fluff, be prepared. Lots of kids!

Temptation on the Warfront by alizarincrims0n; W: 180305, E, M/M, Deathly Hallows AU

-> This fic… I mean I love peoples individual take on what could have been, partially because Deathly Hallows could have been done so differently. This is it. Ever wondered what could have happened if Draco stood in the other side of the war? Read this, you’ll find out. Draco’s transformation is amazing, it is not instantaneous, he’s not automatically on board with Harry and for the same reason. He finds his place on the side of the Light through struggle and not always of his own volition, but he changes. Beautiful story.

One-shots:

Then Comes Mist and a Weeping Rain by faithwood; W: 21139, E, M/M, EWE, Post-War

-> It always rains for Draco Malfoy. Metaphorically. And literally. Ever since he had accidentally Conjured a cloud. A cloud that’s ever so cross. The summary is spot on, as they usually are. Draco walks around with a cloud above his had, an accident that leads to unexpected things.

The Four Ds of Apparition by @eidheann and @firethesound; W: 36638, E, M/M, EWE

-> Non-stop laughter. I mean, this fic had me hooked from the start. The mood of the fic is just so amaing, you have to read it. It contains one of my favourite things on earth, a healer!Draco Malfoy along with his witty nature and love for teasing Harry.

Moon-Eyed by @l0vegl0wsinthedark; W: 29699, E, M/M, EWE, Creature fic

-> Anon, do yourself a favour and read this. As stated above, the fic is explicit and is basically Veela!Draco and Werewolf!Harry. Not sure if this is your cup of tea but their relationship is so beautifully written. Draco is a beautiful smart badass and Harry is in a permanent need of a hug.

you’ve got the antidote for me by kandakicksass; W: 20730, M, M/M, Soulmate AU

-> A good Soulmate AU never hurt nobody. They’re soulmates, what could go wrong right?

A Series Of Neighbourly Epistles by @slytherco; W:13671, M, M/M, EWE

-> Contains my favourite trope: Harry James Potter is a dumdum and forever finds himself in weird situations because he makes everything his business. Although, this was not just his fault…it’s those damn neighbours.

Anon, I hope you find something you’ll  enjoy reading. Do not fear longer fics, it’s the rite of passage in this fandom, for this  pairing. We love a good long fic. I’ll definitely do another rec list, because I’ve been a fan for so long, but I have to log into my old accounts, did so for this one as well.

Thank you for your ask and I hope you’ll stick around for another rec list.

hurray hurray, it’s bokuaka day!

And I’m going to celebrate it in an entirely self-serving fashion. For your enjoyment (I hope), I present my various works focused on the good ship BokuAka. They’re sorted by rating (because some of y’all’s dirty hoes and I love you for it) for ease of navigation.

Rated G

yes. 

From the first moment I saw him, I was drawn into his orbit.

Even in his first year of high school, Bokuto Koutarou was a lot of things. He was happy, he had stupid hair, he was ridiculous, he was strong, he was laughing, he was driven, he was incredible.

On a High Note 

After their victory to send them to Nationals for the Spring High, the Fukurodani volleyball club spends a night on the town.

Us Against the World

For as long as he was on the team, Akaashi had accepted the task of keeping their tumultuous ace’s moods from slipping too low, but the one time he needed someone to do that for him, he didn’t have to ask. Bokuto was there.

Playing it Straight

Bokuto can’t hit crosses anymore and can’t score to save his life until a quiet, calm voice steers him in the right direction.

They Say

Bokuto asks Akaashi for advice, and Akaashi should really be getting paid by the hour for this.

Kissing Ace

It happens right after training camp.

Akaashi Keiji has a secret he has guarded since he was a child. He won’t go so far as to call it a fear, but more of an aspect of himself of which he is horribly mortified. No one on the team knows about it, and Akaashi does his best to keep it that way. 

But years of dodging hugs and casual contact come to naught in the blink of an eye and the swipe of a hand.

Rated T

New Moves

Akaashi didn’t mean to fall for the bartender at the club where he danced, but lucky for him, he wasn’t the only one interested.

Bubble Gum Dreams

Keiji enjoyed a stroll with his hubby, and he never quite lost his taste for Koutarou’s enthusiasm for the smallest of things.

il mio ragazzo falso

With his grandparents’ fiftieth wedding anniversary looming fast and large, Akaashi finds himself urged to bring a date and not quite to the point where his family knows that said date will not be of the female variety.

At some point, he has to decide which will be the least frightening prospect — braving coming out to his family or endure Operation: Find Keiji A Girlfriend 2k15.

And why is the only person he can think of to drag along to this thing his overly-spirited volleyball captain?

#someonepleasesaveakaashi

Rated M

Here Be Dragons

Bokuto grew up with Akaashi. Bokuto hauled him away from the ruins of Old Valyria. Bokuto served him. Bokuto loved him more than anything.

Not Chris Evans.

In which a certain someone likes the sexy version of a knock-knock joke.

I hope the day finds you all well and full of bokuaka joy!

[christinesficrecs]

Hey! Do you have any fics where one of them is really religious and the other one is like a rebel? Hope I make some sense. Thank you xxx

Hey! Try these ones.

A Love Like Religion by alisvolatpropiis | 10.6K

“Derek, my man, you missed an epic party on Saturday. Seriously, dude, I know morning Mass is like, your thing, but come on. You’re missing on out so much life has to offer, bro.”

Big hands land on shoulders with a thump and a squeeze while Derek stands at his locker, loading his gigantic calculus book into his backpack. He gives his best friend a practiced sidelong glare, which of course just encourages him. “You’ll change your mind when I tell you who sucked me off in Lydia Martin’s bedroom,” Stiles snickers into his ear.

Despite himself, Derek is curious. He tries to hide it by focusing on his books, but he knows the heat in his cheeks betrays him. “Who,” he asks, giving in, knowing he will eventually.

If Prayer Were the Answer I’d Fall on My Knees by IAmAVeronica | 70.3K

“Shit, Der.” Stiles shivers. “You promise when we get to the room—”“I’m going to lock the door, undress you, and make up for every minute of the past six weeks.” Derek grins when Stiles’s pupils blow wide with lust. “And we’re in the chapel, so you know I’m not lying.”“Forgive us, Father,” Stiles mutters, and grabs Derek’s hand. “For we are about to sin so hard.”

[glaciya]

AYYYYYY i feel like i disappear for an undetermined amount of time and then pop back up like a magician ANYWAY i have been like.... not following Jaytim posts and theres a lot (thank god) but if you got any like... recent ones that you recommend to get me back in the swing of things? Also any favs??? <3

Hello! I haven’t read much jaytim lately but I do have a few really good ones I’m either in the middle of or that are on my marked for later list that I’m hoping to get to sometime soon :) 

***If anyone wants to add their own Jaytim fic recs to this list they can! 

lil’ red riding hood-WannabeMarySue

Summary:

Every evening, something howled in the night, and every evening that something stood closer and closer to the circle of pale light that spilled off the back porch. Huge and black and, Tim discovered on the third night, with a shock of white fur running ragged between its glowing blue eyes.

Prompt Night-Ladelle

Summary:

“Come on,” Jason says, and the words don’t feel right because Tim thinks he may have forced them. It’s not that Jason really wants him to come over, it’s that Tim’s asked and now Jason feels obligated to invite him. But even still, Jason quirks an eyebrow in question, as if to ask, you gonna follow? And Tim moves before he can really think about it, because yes, he will.

It’s funny how they fall into step; how Tim notices but he’s not sure if Jason does. Tim’s used to finding those odd details, to thinking too hard - and Jason, well, his eyes are always up, taking in the people around him, soaking up the world like a sponge. In this moment, they feel like complete opposites.Tim can’t remember a time he’s been this nervous.

Off the Ice-SociallyAwkwardFox

Summary:

It starts with a puck to the head and ends with pizza.

Dororo (2019) (Action, Adventure, Demons, Historical, Shounen, Supernatural)

It’s about a guy born without limbs, eyes, ears, voice or even skin - who meets a chatty kid who talks enough for the both of them. It’s interesting how they manages to have chemistry despite the former being unable to answer, let alone hear or see, the other. It’s just an overall fascinating story that I enjoy very much. You have a handicapped (and how!) badass wandering around Japan fighting demons who stole his body-parts as an infant. It’s creepy and mysterious and the demons are nightmarish.

Honorable Mentions (”-ish”, I don’t really care too much about any of the new shows aside from Dororo but the ones below are the only other new anime I’m watching this season):

Boogiepop wa Warawanai (2019) (Mystery, Horror, Psychological)

The Promised Neverland (Sci-Fi, Mystery, Horror, Shounen)

Manaria Friends (Action, Adventure, Demons, Fantasy, Magic, Supernatural)

Favorite Sequel:

#1: Mob Psycho 100 II (Action, Slice of Life, Comedy, Supernatural)

It’s energetic and fun with an ever present subtle serious tone and the animation is breathtaking and the visuals are amazing. I love the visual humor and the distinct characters.

#2: Kakeguruixx (Game, Mystery, Psychological, Drama, School, Shounen)

#3: The Morose Mononokean 2nd Season (Comedy, Demons, Supernatural)

but even when everything else seems unsure, one thing remains constant―they’re best friends, and that’s not going to change.

[justdrarryme]

can you recommend some drarry so sweet it gives me diabetes so harsh my blood turns into jam, sorry if i'm too pushy.

Lmao, not too pushy at all, my dear. I’ve got a whole bunch for you so get ready…

I was going to start recc’ing specific fics by XxTheDarkLordxX but honestly, it will probably end up being a half mile long list so I suggest just heading on over to their AO3 page and checking out EVERYTHING. So many beautiful fluffy fics <3 <3 <3

Code-Cracking For Gryffindors by Saras_Girl (Teen and Up, 4 K)

Summary: Harry should know better than to conceal mysterious body art from dorm-mates who pay no heed to what happened to the cat.

All Must Draw Near by Saras_Girl (Mature, 61 K)

Summary: Harry doesn’t have time for rumours; he has a shop to run. Which is just as well, really.

Totally Platonic by bangyababy (Teen and Up, 4.6 K)

Summary: Hermione and Ron learn the story of how Harry didn’t realize he’d been dating Draco for months.

Thermodynamic Equilibrium by DorthyAnn (JenniferMarie) (Teena and Up, 4.1 K)

I will hold on to you by parkkate (Teen and Up, 8.2 K)

Love Actually by DracoWillHearAboutThis (Explicit, 17 K)

Summary: “Harry,” she said quietly. “How long have you been teaching at Hogwarts now?”Harry frowned, caught off-guard by the question.“Six years, three months, and I guess about two weeks?,” he answered hesitantly.“And how much of this time have you spent pining over our Charms professor?,” she continued, eyes flashing dangerously.

When even Minerva McGonagall wants to have a conversation about Harry’s love life, Harry realizes that it might be time to actually do something about this little crush of his. Since apparently, everyone knows, anyways.

“Everyone?!,” Harry repeated, his voice uncomfortably high-pitched in his panic.“Everyone!”

- This story was inspired by the movie “Love Actually” (2003) -

Just Coffee by MaddieStilinski

‘What?’ he asks as he reaches the counter. Scott just raises his eyebrows.

‘Nothing dude. Just admiring your tactics.’

‘What tactics?’ Derek asks, rolling his eyes. ‘I’m getting him coffee.’

Scott shrugs, starting up the machine. ‘Say what you want Derek, but in my experience it never is ‘just coffee.’’

Magical Encounters by isthatbloodonhisshirt

“Shut up and talk to me.”

Spark laughed, and it made Derek’s muscles relax even more. God, even just his voice was enough to calm him down. Derek wished their relationship wasn’t what it was. He knew it could never be anything more, but he wished they’d met under different circumstances.

“Well, which is it? Shut up, or talk to you? Or did you need a little bit of relief?” Spark’s voice lowered and it shot straight to Derek’s groin. “Are you in need of some other services, Derek?”

“Don’t do that,” Derek snapped. He hadn’t meant for it to come out so hostile, but Spark didn’t often use that voice with him. His ‘service’ voice. The one he used to get people off. When Derek was having a normal day, he didn’t mind it so much, but today? No, today he felt it go straight to his dick and he did not want to do that to Spark. He didn’t.

He fucking didn’t!

“Sorry, sorry,” Spark said quickly. “Yeesh, it was a bad day, huh? Okay, no problem, let’s make you happy again. As happy as a grumpy motherfucker like you can be, anyway.”

To the Edge of Night by secondstar

With the threat of war looming over his country, Stiles vows to help his king. As the King’s Thief, he will do anything, steal anything that his king asks of him no matter the cost. Stiles never backs down from a challenge, even if that challenge is stealing peace.

put away your doubts and fears by spiekiel

He can see it in the kid’s eyes in the split second before he turns and bolts, and he sighs, because it is such a goddamn hassle to chase down these idiots, sometimes.

{Derek thinks Stiles is still awake, if just barely, so he gives up his last hope of not getting involved, and whispers, “There’s always a way out.”}

This is Ridiculous by zosofi

There’s a unicorn in Beacon Hills. A fricken’ unicorn. In fricken’ Beacon Hills, California. And it turns out that unicorns aren’t drawn towards virgins in a happy-go-lucky let-me-lay-my-not-at-all-metaphorical-horn-in-your-lap way. No. They kill them. And guess who’s the only virgin idiotic enough to get sucked into the Beacon Hills supernatural scene? Stiles, that’s who.

Stutter and Shake by zosofi

The likelihood of a major quake of magnitude 7.5 or greater hitting California in the next thirty years is 46 percent.

TGIF!! Here are some awesome fics to waste away the weekend with ;) 

Somewhere Else, Someone Else by  meglimeg | 19.5K | soulmates

They’re sitting in the car, and Stiles’ dad is poring over the scans, gesturing violently at the air. ‘I just don’t understand!’ he says. ‘There’s never been anything out of the ordinary on any of your tests, and yet you always have seizures! How come nothing ever comes up?’

Stiles shrugs, has heard his dad complain about this a dozen times before. Stiles is pretty sure that he and Derek are some kind of magical soulmates and this is the way the world has decided to connect them, but somehow, he doesn’t think that’ll fly as an explanation.

Bump and Grind by  eeyore9990 | 2.4K

When Derek catches Stiles doing a slow bump and grind to some sexy jazz music, he teasingly puts a twenty dollar bill in Stiles’ waistband. Stiles turns the tables on him by giving him the lap dance of his life.

To Have and to Hold by  KouriArashi | 44.2K | accidentally married

“Yes, well, you see …” Deucalion cleared his throat again. “In an effort for authenticity, the writer used an actual binding ceremony in the script. The casting director, wanting to make sure it was pronounced correctly, found an actual shaman to perform it. He did so.”

“You – you mean – are you saying that Derek and I are actually married?” Stiles managed to squeeze out of his rapidly closing throat.

It’s a Cruel World, but It’s Cool by  MellytheHun | 7.6K | post-nogitsune

Scott wants the pack to go camping as a team building/group healing thing.

The Right Number by  kyaticlikestea | 30.3K

When Stiles Stilinski’s phone gets switched at the gym, he really just wants it back. The last thing he’s expecting is to fall hopelessly in lust with the guy who’s got his phone.

So, of course, that’s exactly what happens.

Safe Mind by  LadyDrace | 4.4K | wolf derek

Derek goes missing for a while and comes back full wolf. Only problem is that his mind has gone wolf too, and for some reason the only one he’ll allow near him… is Stiles.

It’s Happening by  isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella) | 61.3K | enemies to lovers

He would recognize that fucking voice anywhere.

Two years. Two fucking years had passed, and now this little shit was standing in front of him, speaking his name, and grinning like an idiot.

“It’s you,” Derek said, earning him a confused look from Stiles. “The phone call. Two years ago. It was you.”

My Regular Shameless Self-Promo

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so I’ve taken it upon myself to make another self-promotion compilation ☺️✌️🏐 Thank you all for the lovely messages and comments and kudos and tags and everything else this fandom has given me since I fell in love with Haikyuu!! I’ve got quite a few WIPs right now so hopefully I can add a lot more to this list soon!

parallel [OiSuga - ongoing long fic] *Note - pls read “Heikō” first

Looking back up at Oikawa, Suga flashes him the brightest smile he can. He locks all of the stress, all of the want and yearning, all of the jealousy away, imagines that he’s chucking the key down the 16th Avenue Tiled Steps, watching it clang and bounce down the bright, mosaic tiles until it glints one last time and he loses sight of it.

“I’m fine,” he reassures him.

Suga doesn’t look back at the rose-colored door the rest of the time they’re there.

Pear Tarts [OiSuga - completed - 5,298 words]

Oikawa gives Suga way too many pear tarts.

Cloudbursts [OiSuga - completed - 3,709 words]

“You have me, Koushi,” he says, firmly, unwavering, heartbreakingly sincere, no room for anything but love in his voice.

Suga nods once more.

And then he lets the tears fall freely, lets them drop and tumble and tremble on the edges of his eyelashes like cloudbursts, like the rain against the window.

How Scandalous [OiSuga - completed - 2,156 words]

Oikawa and Suga fall in love at first sight on top of the Astronomy Tower with the entire night sky shining down on them and the mermaids singing in The Great Lake.

Mint [OiSuga - completed - 2,242 words]

Oikawa isn’t the only one who knows how to get the things he wants, Suga thinks smugly, the pleats of the mint skirt he had pulled on a few minutes earlier swishing around the tops of his thighs pleasantly as he walks.

A Lemon-Yellow Umbrella [OiSuga - completed - 1,912 words]

Oikawa dreams of being with Suga.

Seawater and Oranges [OiSuga - ongoing series]

and the sea is calling me, love [part 1 - 2,646 words]

For a few, heart-pounding seconds, the two of them stare at each other, the man’s dark hair falling over his forehead, stiff with saltwater, his eyes the color of the sea amber stones Suga sometimes finds buried in the sand underneath the kelp forests.

Suga watches those eyes grow large with astonishment and incredulity, watches the man’s gaze slowly, slowly move down from his face to his shoulders, past the tense, flat expanse of his stomach, until it reaches the slender curve of his waist, the sliver of skin where Suga’s tail starts, the ivory melting into pale green.

and the shore tugs at my heart [part 2 - 6,707 words]

“The sea misses you,” Suga blurts, flustered, before he can remember that Oikawa is a human, that he won’t possibly understand that it’s a farewell message, and it’s Oikawa’s turn to look perplexed, his eyebrows rising in surprise.

Suga turns away quickly, ears burning, begins to swim away, his heart thudding, and is stopped when Oikawa speaks quickly.

“Wait,” he says, twisting to see Suga, who’s already a few feet away, his eyes wide with amethyst clouds of desperation. “Will I see you again?”

interstellar [IwaOiSuga - completed - 2,501 words]

“Hajime, help me. Please,” Suga begs, Oikawa making a low whine and snuggling in closer- as if that’s possible.

“Kou-chan, space hugs are sacred,” he pouts near Suga’s ear. “Space hugs are our thing.”

Iwaizumi huffs out a laugh from his position already strapped in, sitting a few feet back from the small laptop that is mounted onto the opposite wall.

“Sorry, Kou, I’m already buckled in. Besides, you wouldn’t believe how long he spent planning that before you got here.”

Missing You [OiSuga - completed - 1,700 words]

Oikawa had sat there long after Suga’s silver hair and sweet smile had been lost from view, had sat in the muggy summer air and let the grumble of the crappy air conditioning system fill the silence, his work-shirt sticking to his back with sweat, his mouth uncomfortably dry, saccharine and stale, from his morning coffee.

2 a.m. [OiSuga - completed - 1,710 words]

“Hello, Mr. Refreshing,” Oikawa Tooru practically purrs, his voice annoyingly upbeat. “You’re just the person I had been hoping to run into.”

Suga tries not to show how much those words affect him, how it leaves his pulse skittering through his veins and a pleased sensation curling warm in his chest, and he manages it somehow, has had a lot of practice thanks to Oikawa’s stubborn persistence and his own coy hard-to-get attitude and the exhilarating cat-and-mouse game they’ve been playing for weeks now.

It’s hard though, keeping the blush in his cheeks down and the nervous tremor of his fingertips hidden, especially when Oikawa is so close and just as gorgeous at two in the morning as he is anytime else.

blue [OiSuga - completed - 3,061 words]

Even standing in the doorway of a darkened dorm room with his phone cracked and broken from where he had dropped it at his feet, with a furious roommate standing in front of him brandishing a bright blue teakettle, with all of the day’s weight sitting on his shoulders, Oikawa had thought Suga was beautiful.

Karma is a witch [OiSuga - completed - 1,696 words]

“Oh. My. God.” Oikawa deadpans.

“Don’t.” the child in front of Oikawa warns, holding up a chubby finger. “Say. Anything.”

The Knockout Series [OiSuga - ongoing series]

Round One [part 1 - 13,064 words] NSFW

The first time Sugawara Koushi was decked in the face, he was seventeen and evergreen.

Jumanji (ft. the Seijoh Four) [OiHanaSuga - completed - 4,043 words]

The title literally says it all… I was inspired by the latest “Jumanji” movie because it was absolute gold and who better to stick in a video game than the wonderful Seijoh bois?

Heikō [OiSuga - completed - 4,797 words]

“That was a different universe, wasn’t it? You can get to it using this door sometimes, but not all of the time. You got lucky that day, didn’t you? That’s why you’re so scared now -,” Suga accuses, swallowing past the hurt in his throat.

“Shut up!” Yamaka practically shouts, voice trembling.

A Late Night Snack [OiSuga - completed - 4,537 words] NSFW

Suga makes vanilla pudding at the ass-crack of dawn and Oikawa can’t resist.

Neon Love [OiSuga - completed - 2,629 words]

Outside the cracked windows, the roar of traffic and the buzz of the fast-food drive-through mix and mingle, smudging in with the summer night air and the greasy, hot smell of oil and sugar and fries.

And beside him Oikawa Tooru sits, humming under his breath now as he traces meaningless patterns on the short stretch of leather seat that separates them.

Suga eyes him subtly from his peripheral vision — studies the play of neon lights on Oikawa’s hair and skin, watches the long length of his fingers dance and skim over the seat, stares at the long length of his eyelashes that’s highlighted by gold and violet and ruby.

This is familiar, watching Oikawa do something small and trivial, waiting for him to look up.

And like clockwork, Oikawa does, his dark eyes finding Suga’s face, the small grin that curves his lips sending a telltale shiver down Suga’s spine.

poolside [OiSuga - completed - 6,863 words]

Deciding to just rip off the bandage and get it over with, Suga interrupts.

“Oikawa,” he says, and Oikawa’s eyes flick towards his face quickly, glinting in the blue lights, his bottom lip pulled a little between his teeth. Suga can feel Kuroo and Daichi’s eyes from across the room on the two of them and he falters for a second because it’s unnerving and also because Oikawa looks beautiful in this setting — in his suit and tie, the lights throwing sparks against his dark hair and lighting up the pretty angles of his face, his eyelashes like ink-strokes against his cheeks.

burnt sugar and magic [OiSuga - completed - 1,772 words]

Oikawa turns towards Suga, the ring on his left hand catching the light coming in from one of the windows and sparking, breaking Suga’s inner thoughts. Suga tilts his head back to look up at him, a smile still lingering on his lips. He’s only been learning magic for a half a year, and it’s been slow going — but being able to do things like this and see the pleased glint in Oikawa’s eyes… it makes all of the hard work more than worth it.

Oikawa tugs him close, wrapping strong arms around Suga’s waist and pulling until they’re standing face-to-face. Suga rests his palms on Oikawa’s chest, grateful for some support because his knees are beginning to feel as jelly-like as the strawberry jam he had eaten a few hours ago.

do me a favor [OiSuga - completed - 2,510 words]

The fourth photo is a picture of a list. Oikawa scans it quickly as a bird caws in the empty, small alleyway to his right. The storm clouds turn darker.

“Order a flavor of ice-cream that you’ve never had before, help a stranger, take a solo shot at a bar…,” he reads, mumbling the words out loud.

He turns his attention back to the photos, smirking. There’s only one left.

It’s Suga — winking at the camera and head tilted to one side, nose scrunched. His silver hair matches the piercing in his left eyebrow.

“Have fun losing,” reads the card held in front of his chest.

Oikawa pulls out his phone, carefully slides Suga’s selfie — and the rest of the photos besides the one with the list — back into the envelope. He can’t keep the stupid grin off of his face.

He types out two words, hits send.

“You’re on.”

Kinktober 2018 [ongoing series]

Icarus [AkaOi - part 1 - 2,208 words] NSFW

Oikawa leans over him, settled on elbows that dip into the mattress on either side of Akaashi’s head. His eyes burn over Akaashi’s bare skin — solar flares that Akaashi can’t seem to avoid no matter how many times he’s been warned for flying too close to the sun.

I’ll Always Carry You [UshiSuga - part 2 - 1,809 words] NSFW

“Wall sex,” Suga giggles breathlessly against Ushijima’s mouth, kissing him slowly, softly, tangling his fingers in thick, brown hair. “I didn’t know you would take me seriously, Toshi.”

Ushijima pulls back, just slightly, eyes dark. “I always take you seriously, Koushi,” he says and Suga’s heart does a pathetic little flop in his chest.

drunk on you [IwaOi - Patreon] NSFW

Iwaizumi is the picture of remorse.

Oikawa stands still and battles with the emotions flitting through his chest like the flap of bird wings — relief, frustration, happiness.

Iwaizumi opens his mouth, closes it. The flashing lights of the club burst in candy colors over the strong features of his face — furrowed eyebrows, dark eyes, a mouth turned down with guilt and apology and hesitation. He’s wearing dark jeans and a dark sweatshirt — the outfit makes him look ten years younger somehow, as if he had jogged here after night class.

For a few seconds, Oikawa feels as if the two of them are caught in a bubble of time all their own. The rest of the club grinds and writhes and moves around them, but here, in the small space between them, there’s silence, stillness — the eye of the storm.

[jaydickrecommendations]

Heyyyyyyy just wanted to say I love your blog and was wondering if you had any fireman Jason or police officer dick I could use to wallow away in self-pity about my nonexistent love life?

Thank you so much, it’s greatly appreciated! Here’s some fics, don’t wallow too much though~

UniformDating.Com by The_Crafty_Cracker

warnings: Discussions of past trauma, nothing super specific.

Jason thought that dating sites where all utter bullshit, they were all pointless and simply money-making schemes hoping to attract the desperate and lonely, making them think that they’ll find someone who will love them if they simply sign up and give them a fuck ton of money for doing nothing.

So you can imagine his surprise when it turned out that he was actually on one!

It was all Roy’s fault.

Yep, that sounded about right.

For what it’s worth: Featuring both fireman!Jason AND officer!Dick! Great fic with some very cute moments.

Calendar Boy by empires 

prompt: Non tragic no cape AU where Jason’s a sexy fireman and Dick’s a sexy police officer. Bonus +1: policemen’s ball. Bonus +2: firemen’s calendar. JayDick?

For what it’s worth: Another one that’s both! Great fic (already recommended so sorry about that) but super fantastic! Well written, funny, and cute.

Dear Officer Grayson by JayDick_Hell 

Someone has been leaving love letters on Dick’s desk for months now. They’re really quite captivating and Dick thinks he might have developed some feelings for his secret admirer. Then he gets a note from them claiming they have important information for the cop. Dick’s pretty sure meeting up is a bad idea but he can’t let this opportunity pass. The safety of Gotham’s citizens is his top priority so any intel that might help that cause is invaluable.

And maybe he’s just a little interested in seeing who his admirer really is.

For what it’s worth: A+, so good. Criminal Jason having a thing for Officer Dick is fantastic, this fic is just so so good. 

Lie To Me, Darling by Chrystie, kate882 

Officer Dick Grayson is undercover in the infamous Red Hood’s gang trying to track down the man behind the helmet. With his former partner killed for being found out, there’s a new guy in the gang to take his place. Jason doesn’t seem like the average new gang recruit, and Dick may be getting more than he bargained for trying to get close to him.

For what it’s worth: Probably won’t help with the wallowing (unless you want to be more sad) incredibly good fic with an incredibly sad ending. 

Of Galas and Guns by DragonflyxParodies 

At a gala event, one Jason Todd meets one Dick Grayson and things escalate. Cassandra gets to play matchmaker.

For what it’s worth: Soooo cute. Ridiculously adorable.
