Multishipper Mondays (Fanfic Recs)

Series where I recommend fanfic I like every week. Hoping to catalogue the fics I like and what I like about them (without spoilers, of course!) I’ll try to keep rotating the ships I like (I like a lot of them.) Currently it’s only the Haikyuu fandom. I also classify them by length:

Short: 0 - 10,000 words

Medium: 10,000-30,000 words

Long: >30,000 words

THIS WEEK’S RECOMMENDATION: Case C is the Most Troublesome by Crollalanza

Rating: Mature

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count:  19512 (Medium) (3 chapters)

Ships: Bokuaka + Kuroken

Summary: On court, Akaashi Keiji had been able to assess every situation and make the correct call. In life, the habit’s hard to break, but he has varying results, especially when the situation is a road trip with Bokuto, taking him to tryouts for the Hiroshima Thunders. Just the two of them, he could have coped with, but joined by Kuroo and Kenma, the trip takes a wildly different turn. And as he watches Kenma from the rear view mirror, he’s unable to comprehend just why he’s tagged along. But then again, maybe Keiji’s not the only one with an ulterior motive.

My opinion: Bokuaka + kuroken + road trip! If those three phrases alone don’t sell you one this fic, how about this: the characters are aged up and mature, the events and dialogue are very believable, and bonus for Akaashi analyzing Bokuto things with his Case A, B, C style. There is drama, introspection and fluff. Honestly this is one of the most masterful medium fics I’ve read, and makes for very enjoyable rereading.

Multishipper Mondays (Fanfic recs)

So I’m starting a new series where I recommend fanfic I like every week. Hoping to catalogue the fics I like and what I like about them (without spoilers, of course!) I’ll try to keep rotating the ships I like (I like a lot of them.) Currently it’s only the Haikyuu fandom. I also classify them by length:

Short: 0 - 10,000 words

Medium: 10,000-30,000 words

Long: >30,000 words

THIS WEEK’S RECOMMENDATION: Resolved by Crowne_of_Winterthorne

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 4597 (Short)

Ships: Iwaoi

Summary: There are three ways to get Oikawa to shut up: hit him, kiss him, or… A University fic where Oikawa and Iwaizumi take care of some of that unresolved sexual tension that's been building for years.

My opinion: I mean...PWPs, right? They’re harder to write than they look. A good PWP has to have the following things: good descriptions of the mechanics of sex, believable interactions between the characters, varying degrees of emotional intimacy (or lack thereof) and more importantly, the writing has to convey what they’re feeling. Since Iwaoi is my OTP and I am a very picky reader, Iwaoi fics which make for good PWPs are a rarity for me, and this is a recent discovery. Both Oikawa and Iwaizumi are in character and the back and forth ensues even as they have sex. Quite enjoyable.

THIS WEEK’S RECOMMENDATION: Light by kythen

Rating: Teen and Up

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 5256 (Short)

Ships: Kurodai

Summary: A study of a crush, as seen through the eyes of one Kuroo Tetsurou.

My opinion: Second person POVs take some getting used to, but it suited the story being told here. It’s nice to see Kuroo and Daichi’s friendship through Kuroo’s eyes, and the author paints a very appealing, believable picture of the growth of their relationship. A quiet, enjoyable fic with very light angst.

 THIS WEEK’S RECOMMENDATION: Evolution by fan_nerd

Rating: Mature

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 6318 (Short)

Ships: Kagehina+side Iwaoi

Summary:  Kageyama struggles with human interaction and personal views on friendship, camaraderie, and romance. Finding his two seniors sneaking around in the locker room in junior high doesn't help. In high school, Hinata doesn't either.

My opinion: This is a super cute fic which manages to explore Kageyama’s thought processes in a convincing way, and also portrays the Kagehina relationship in a really heartwarming manner. Good if you like little drama and lots of fluff.
