"We, um, lost Kenma," Inuoka reports, his ears flat against his head and his tail switching nervously.
the second our eyes met (baby i was yours) - kurodai
When Sawamura Daichi walks through the door, Kuroo doesn't stand a chance, even if he doesn't know it, not yet.
Rainy with a Chance of... - kurodai
Daichi hates days like this, when the sun is still shining while it rains and there is lightning in the sky even though it is perfectly clear outside.
When Can I See You Again? - kurodai
another name for "home" - kurodai
It's Tuesday when Daichi sees the news, broadcasted all around him on screens and smartphones, in the air and on print.
Good Morning To You - kurodai (nsfw)
When Kuroo wakes up, he can't breathe.
when it rains, it pours - ushiten
It had rained last night.
The forest is never still at night.
The Sea and the Shore - kurodai
Tripping over flowers - kurodai
Their starting point is at Daichi's house.
Laundry Day - kurodai (nsfw)
It is Saturday when Daichi opens his clothes drawer to find it almost completely bare, with nothing but an old shirt and a few miscellaneous pieces of clothing rattling around in it.
The World's Best Kept Secret - bokuaka
Take Me Down - kurodai (nsfw)
Personal Space Invaders - kurodai
Hold Me Up - kurodai (nsfw)

An elbow nudges him and someone leans in to say into his ear, "Look at them."

When Daichi wakes, it is to a massive headache and Kuroo curled around him, a leg thrown over his hip, his arms clinging tight around his chest.
And flowers bloom in his wake - kurodai
The first thing Kuroo notices about Sawamura Daichi is that wherever he goes, there are flowers.
Goodnight, Good Morning - kurodai
And that’s all twenty of them! Almost all (but one) the Haikyuu fics I have on ao3. To absolutely no one’s surprise, it’s almost all kurodai.
Looking at the list, I guess I’d say that I like to establish setting in the first line? Time, date, place, weather conditions, and all that. Also, when Kuroo is the narrator and he hasn’t gotten together with Daichi yet, Daichi is mentioned as “Sawamura Daichi” (this happens in three fics I can spot) haha. The rest are pretty common I guess, beginning in media res or starting with dialogue, etc.
If there are any patterns you can spot that escapes me feel free to tell me about them! :D
