some of these fics are rated e!
Beer, Bets and Broken Glass
t. 4.7k. sakusa and atsumu make a bet on how many numbers they can get at the end of the night. spoiler: atsumu can't get any because he can't stop staring at sakusa. very funny with a fun twist at the end.
Do You Ever Wonder Thigh?
t. 6.2k. sakusa is strangely attentive to atsumu's thighs. if you, too, are thirsty about atsumu's thighs, read this fic to commiserate with sakusa.
I’m Not in Love
e. 70.2k. 6/6. no one does fwb to lovers better than sakuatsu writers, and this is yet another portrayal with a side of homophobia, being afraid, and ultimately finding love in who you are and who you're with.
note to self
g. 5k. osamu makes notes to himself to remind himself what suna likes. i always enjoy these kinds of domestic portrayals of relationships, and this was such a sweet treat to read.
the chronicles of the accidental roadtrip
t. 7.9k atsumu and osamu were supposed to go on a roadtrip together until they weren't, so suna goes with osamu, instead. what can i say about yuzubalm that isn't praise? wonderfully atmospheric with a slow descent of feelings realization.
I was scared to take a breath (didn't want you to move your head)
t. 9.8k. osamu's heart does a funny thing when he sees someone flirt with suna. feelings realization and eventual confessions are my favorite flavor of sunaosa.
chain reaction
t. 23.8k. if you want to read suna be an absolutely annoying piece of shit, this fic is for you. college au where suna is neighbors with osamu and does the best to annoy the living daylights out of him. he got on my nerves faster than osamu, so good for osamu to be dense enough not to realize (there's a happy ending!)
Hanamaki Takahiro is Always Right
t. 6.8k. hanamaki speaks at iwaoi's wedding and he starts with - "i told you so." always love outsider povs, and reading hanamaki always guarantees a fun time.
In This House
m. 35.2k. 12/12. i found this on someone's bookmarks, which were all related to oikawa's knee injury. it was both fascinating and scary. anyway, oikawa is sad and depressed and hiding in sweden while trying to live with his pain, until iwaizumi comes to visit. beware the tags and tread with caution as themes might be triggering.
Won't you come closer now
t. 4.5k. short yet rich scene of bokuaka going home and realizing their feelings for each other. i agree, akaashi - your first kiss should not be on a crowded train during rush hour, but somewhere a little more private.
For Health, probably
t. 8.5k. akaashi is recommended to try a gym that happens to be owned by bokuto. he gets a membership, not for the owl-haired owner, but because it's for health...right? absolutely love this trope, when am i going to find love in a gym.
and you don't seem to understand
t. 7k. hinata comes out to kageyama and doesn't get the reaction he anticipated. NOT ANGST JUST KAGEYAMA BEING A DUMBASS. we support these idiots and their rocky road to love.
A Million Floating Hearts and Counting
t. 7.1k. kageyama gets a comment that he "can do better" than hinata, which leads to hurt/comfort, some spiraling, and lots of fluff. i love fics where something so small is so masterfully done, i'm always amazed by how writers can achieve such a feat.
getting to know you
m. 23.2k. 4/4. hinata suddenly goes awol and kageyama tracks him down, and he learns more about him in a week than the last 10 years. loved this fic and how it explores the question - how much do i really know about someone? i also enjoyed the discussion of grief and parallels between the two of them, they were wonderfully done.
Like a Charm
m. 6.4k. 2/2. people at the office keep flirting with kuroo and he jokes about getting a ring to stave them off, and kenma is like, bet. lovely dialogue and such a fun premise, overall.
HOT EBOY GAMER TWINK SELLS HIS BATH WATER (and calls you a bitch)
m. 7.1k. kuroo jokes about kenma selling his bathwater and kenma says, bet. extremely funny, definitely something to read on a bad day, it'll pick you up wonderfully.
Kamogawa Beach
t. 7.9k. featuring bokuaka. a beach double date with such atmospheric details and tomfoolery between bokuto and kuroo. a lighthearted piece to read.
route 51 to your heart has been delayed by 20 minutes
t. 8.2k. you haven't read pining kenma until you read this fic. where is my commute buddies to lovers story arc? (nonexistent because i have to drive to work, gross). cute, fun, and lovely to read!
These, our bodies, possessed by light
t. 19.2k. magic au where kenma's magic wholly depends on kuroo's presence. love how subtly it's intertwined and kenma grumbling "we aren't together" because boy, you really are together.
