🇯🇵 Iwaizumi Hajime (27), Athletic Trainer (✒︎ on Ao3)

2021 Olympic Team | Haikyu!! | Timeskip | Rating: T | 2.5k words

“You see, Trainer-san,” Yaku clears his throat. “You’re a meme.” “What?” Hajime blinks at him. “A meme… a contextual internet phenomenon amusing the masses,” Ushijima explains. “I know what a meme is, why am I one?” Yaku opens the laptop, finally releasing Atsumu’s fingers and shows him the Twitter page. Iwaizumi Hajime (27), athletic trainer. Yep, Hajime is a meme now.

Or: Everyone has a crush on Trainer-san! Don't really remember how or why this idea came to me, but I hope you enjoy this small story — Big thanks go to @matsinko for helping me with beta reading 💕

🥇 Justice (and Waffles) for the Grand King (✒︎ on Ao3) (Preview)

Seijoh 4 + KageHina | Haikyu!! | Timeskip (Olympics) | Rated: G | 2.5k words

Hajime knows he says and thinks this a lot, but this time he truly, deeply and sincerely means it: He’s done. Like done done. “So just to make sure I understand this correctly,” he takes a deep breath while just barely resisting the urge to smash his head through the next best wall, “you finally fulfilled your lifelong dream of winning Olympic gold, and the best thing you could think of doing with your medal was to put it by the wide open window, where a bird flew in… and stole it?” “... … … Yes,” Oikawa grits through grinding teeth, eyes set firmly on a point somewhere above his shoulder.

I was so so SO thrilled to be able to contribute to the @hqanimalzine "Gone Wild" last year and, as is custom with my Seijoh 4 fics, it turned out to be absolute chaos 🤣

🩷 The Name (✒︎ on Ao3) (Preview)

Spy x Family | Becky Angst Study | 3.1k words | Teen Up

When Becky thinks about the Blackbell family, she thinks of everything but family. She thinks of duty and of pain, of responsibilities that bind her and all the little joys that are supposed to be beneath her. She thinks of the other picture, the one in her room, and she thinks of Anya.

Aaaaaand, my fic for the @spyxangst zine earlier this year ~ The spot art was made by the amazing Saint Artemis (on IG) & the whole zine is free to download, so check it out, I had a blast working with this team 💕

🥓 Birthday, Bacon & Betrayal (✒︎ on Ao3) (Preview)

MatsuHana | Haikyuu!! | Timeskip/Canon compliant | Rated: Gen | 600 words

Matsukawa Issei is not a morning person and yet he is consistently awake well before 7 am because there is a small, smelly butt depositing itself on his face with an almost innocent, little ‘mrrrow’. A butt that belongs to a cat he most assuredly did not ask for. A cat that hates him. With a grunt and a curse, he shoves at the hell-beast attempting—and somehow succeeding—to steal both his alcove apartment and his lover.

My January piece for the MatsuHana Calendar 2023 (on Twitter) that I wrote for Makki's birthday today ~ I had so much fun working on this project and all the works are absolutely amazing, so please consider giving this a look. Special shoutout to @sleepskie who made the January art piece and worked with me on the fic — their works are nothing short of amazing 💕

💕 Well Stolen is Half Won (✒︎ on Ao3) (Preview)

MatsuHana/IwaOi | Haikyuu!! | Pre-Timeskip/Canon compliant | Rated: G | 600 words

Hanamaki drops down to his knees and wedges his fingers into the gap between the lockers until they meet resistance. Seconds later, Matsukawa is hanging over his shoulder, eager to catch a glimpse at the small, staple-bound booklet and Hanamaki fumbles open the pages, hands shaking with anticipation. “‘Iwa-Chan’s and Tooru’s absolute bestestest Valentinesday date ever’... Issei, hold me.”

My second piece for the MatsuHana Calendar 2023, this time with some wild Valentines shenanigans! Huge shout out also to Mod @violetyams who did a super amazing art piece for this (all their art is gorgeous, please check them out) ~

🏞️ Delta (✒︎ on Ao3)

IwaOi | Haikyu!! | Timeskip (Olympics) | Rated: G | 1.5k words

Hajime will never admit it, not until the day he dies, but from the moment he saw Oikawa, he knew they didn’t stand a chance. It’s a strange sensation really. An irritating sort of limbo between acknowledging an undeniable fact and the knee-jerk refusal to simply submit. “You made it,” he says. “I made it,” Tooru grins, the golden disk around his neck at home between the blue and white stripes of his jersey, like the final piece of a flag puzzle. A sign of completion and the embodiment of all that had changed. Oikawa and Iwaizumi reunite after a long time spend apart, contemplating what's behind and what still lies ahead.

For the @iwaoibb SummerCamp week 6 activity, prompt given by @mercrediad ^-^<3 It ended up a bit more abstract that I was planning but I hope you still like it <.<

🐉 Dragon of the West, Prince of Silver (✒︎on Ao3)

IwaOiDaiSuga | Haikyu!! | Medieval/Dragons/Magic AU | Rated: T | 3k words

“Wra,” the dragon drones. “Hm, but that would be rude, wouldn’t it?” The man looks at it. “Brrrafff.” “We haven’t even finished the story yet.” Oh gods, please anything but more of that weird story! Hajime wants to scream. The dragon seems to agree with him and gives the man the stink-eye. “Okay, wow, now that was hurtful.” The man returns the look with a pout and a grumble. His brown hair is cascading across his face in gentle waves that reflect the dim light like gold and the sharp line where his jaw melts into his neck is teasing Hajime from underneath the collar of a sapphire blue robe.

Don't mind this, just me back on my nonsense >.> Thank you @swimming-in-the-sea-story for beta-ing 💕
