while I'm having a mental breakdown, somewhere out there Yamaguchi is getting the love he deserves and is making out with his boyfriend and I think that's beautiful
He stood frozen, the candy bar hanging loosely from his hands as he stared across the aisle at Yamaguchi. He hadn’t been spotted yet, but the sight of Yamaguchi chuckling began to ease the tension that had taken hold in his chest. Tsukishima unwittingly stepped forward, relief almost overflowing his veins, but then the realization took hold.
Yamaguchi. With Oikawa.
Yamaguchi laughing with Oikawa without a care in the world, like Tsukishima hadn’t been the one to make him laugh just two weeks before in that very same spot, like he wasn’t even needed.
And why should they need him? He was far too grumpy, far too rude, far too judgmental. Tsukishima remembered how it felt to absently say something scathing. He recalled with a distant ache the feeling of shame and guilt that had risen unbidden when Yamaguchi and Oikawa failed to laugh, when his words had just stopped coming for fear of ruining things again. That never happened to Oikawa. Not to proud, invigorating Oikawa, who could carry conversations without a thought. Tsukishima’s cold care could never compare to someone who could express his love and affection without shame. Oikawa lived and breathed attention and exuded confidence in every breath. Tsukishima’s confidence always came off as demeaning, his smiles threatening, his comments cutting.
Doubt took root in Tsukishima, paralyzing him where he stood. He could see as Oikawa reached behind Yamaguchi for a fruit, casually wrapping his arms around Yamaguchi’s waist and smiling as he swung him around to face him. There was an effortless grace in his movements that Tsukishima’s lanky limbs could never match. Yamaguchi smiled up at Oikawa in a way he hadn’t smiled at Tsukishima in a long time. The kind of smile that reached his eyes, that brought a happy flush to his cheeks, that made him look like a glowing star. The kind of smile that says “I love you”.
Tsukishima took a slow step back, eyes unable to break away from the scene. A bitter feeling was building in the back of his throat, muscles stiffening and fingers trembling. He wanted to look away, to shun the image from his mind and refuse to accept it. Refuse to accept that there could ever be a world in which Yamaguchi didn’t need him anymore, a world in which Yamaguchi moved on happily and he was left behind. But as Oikawa grinned back at Yamaguchi and tugged him closer, Tsukishima’s eyes tracked every miniscule movement. It was in his nature to watch, to anticipate motion and build a wall so vast no opponent could ever breach it. Yet as he tracked the smooth sweep of Oikawa’s hand across Yamaguchi’s face, there was nothing he could do to block the realization that Yamaguchi had stopped waiting for him.
Tsukishima felt a sharp sting in his chest and abruptly took a step back, removing Yamaguchi from his sight. It was strange, really. To anyone watching, there was no visible change in Tsukishima’s countenance. He always held himself a bit stiffly, too tall and lanky in his own body. With each step he took, however, he could feel his mood darkening. He supposed he could have tried to loosen up a little bit, to be more open to Yamaguchi. Tsukishima knew, though, that he could never compete with Oikawa’s exuberant affection. Not in the way that Yamaguchi wanted, or deserved. And if he never stood a chance, why even try?
He didn’t glance back up at Yamaguchi and Oikawa when he left. They wouldn’t have noticed either way.
All the karasuno (kagehina, tsukkiyama, daisuga, etc + rare pairs) ship fics I’ve recommended up to 02/13/2022! To count how many there are, control f “//“ (without the “ ofc, but with a space at the end) and it’ll tell you :) (from my count, there should be around 22 but that doesn’t account for each individual fic in a series!)
DaiSuga
How to Manage by SuggestiveScribe (E) 39.3k // ok so yea yea we established, I’m basic, BUT can you blame me? This might’ve been one of the first DaiSuga’s I’ve read and I have no regrets. Literally, this fic series is one of my favorites, so OF COURSE I had to add it somewhere :D Honestly, I don’t even think you need to read the first one to understand what’s going on, but I would just cause it has some funny DaiSuga moments too ;) This is explicit for PWP, so proceed with caution HAHA.
Add New Contact by booksong (G) 8.5k // this one! It’s so cute and poor Daichi LOL. He really out here doing the most,,, Anyway, we love tech Suga, and a nice dash of snarky tsukki (LOL is he salt, yes yes he is). It’s very fluff and pine, so if you want to read Daichi having gay panic like 24/7, go right ahead LOL.
butterfly in the subway by bigspoonnoya (T) 62.8k // please, I’ve said other fics are a big mess BUT this one might just take the cake. It’s a mixture of ships with DaiSuga being the main one, so read it even if you don’t love DaiSuga (and then you’ll love them LOL). It’s like everything that could go wrong, goes wrong but the AsaNoya in this was SO cute!
you can only take what you can carry by skittidyne (T) 4.2k // Suga is strong. That’s it. That’s literally the whole fic LMAO. But no seriously, I wish I could’ve been there in person to ogle at the muscles cause like think about it. ANyway, Yachi is best. (if this made no sense, go read the fic LOL)
You’d fit my lonely arms so perfectly by boxofwonder (G) 25.1k // Wrong number, “Oh. You’re. Not Asahi.” Calmed down enough that he can speak again, Daichi takes a deep breath, his smile settling on his face easily and wide. “Not as far as I know, no.”Suga accidentally calls a stranger instead of his best friend, tells him all about his burned batch of cookies before realising, and that particular mistake might turn out the best one he ever made.
KageHina
***two slow dancers by quietkids (T) 7.7k // this might’ve been, dare I say, my favorite fic on the list,,, I just really loved Kageyama’s POV (AND CHARACTERIZATION!!!!) so much and I also love non linear plots and it was just written so well and it made me so sad and I love angst and yeah!!11!!1!!1!! I literally fell in love with this fic and again it was just SO freaking good!!! And also I loved the other Kageyama’s in this so much.
I like the way your clothes smell by Mysecretfanmoments (NR) 75.2k // I think this is one of the only fics I’ve read for this ship… LOL oops idk something about reading relationships between first year’s in high school irks me…. just first year’s in Haikyuu dating at any time…. Anyways I don’t really remember reading this one (again my memory is crap LOL) but it had been recommended by people before so knock yourselves out LOL. Also this one doesn’t have a rating, but it’s got some explicit-ish stuff in it, so read tags and warnings for sure!
Grit Your Teeth, Pull Your Hair, Paint The Walls Black And Scream ‘Fuck The World’. by LahraTeigh (T) 1k // this is actually one fic in a three part series. Each are pretty short, but they are continuations/pov changes of the first one. This has references to self harm, so please proceed with caution.
stan twitter, meet hinata shoyou by ichweissnichtauch (T) 13k // Twitter, meiji milk pls sponsor me @kageyamatobio
see you on the court @ninjashoyou 6.5k Retweets 31.6k Likes 2.0k Comments here comes the sun @ninjashoyou lets do it baby i know the law 3.6k Retweets 27.3k Likes 1.8k Comments or, hinata shoyou’s v-league debut, as seen on twitter (ft. snapshots of v-twt).
teething on a shotgun by sporadic_obsession (E) 2.5k // I liked the introduction of this one. It got me engaged pretty quickly, and the ending was very in character LOL. There’s mention of shooting, injury, and death but it IS an assassin fic so that’s to be expected LOL.
Hiraeth by primela (NR) 6.4k // the switching POV’s in this one made me put it LOL. I liked seeing both POV’s during the scenes (and what a shame for Hinata not being able to focus on abs LOL) and I think it really added character to the fic! Again, there’s shooting, blood, and death but what’s new heh.
TSUKKIYAMA
by any other name by parenthetic (renaissance) (T) 4.8k // as much as I love tsukkiyama I don’t read a lot of their fics for some reason (LOL OOPS) but this one hit all the right spots. The way yams is done, with his amazing facial reading abilities, and the way tsukki is so oblivious was so GOOD!
Please, don’t let go by LovelyAkuma (G) 2.4k // this DOES have a happy ending and nothing too graphic happens but read the tags cause there still IS an attempt. Tsukishima is best boy in this, but poor Yamaguchi bless his heart :(
Mystery Guy by Pepper_Moon (T) 11.1k // Twitter + YouTube/Streamer, Popular YouTuber YamaGucci is livestreaming one day, when a voice off-camera speaks and makes him flustered. Let’s just say what comes next is pure chaos.
shikaku (assassin) by GoandSeek (E) 10.2k // this one was my favorite of all of these :) i really loved the interactions between Tsukishima and Yamaguchi from the beginning, and the little additions of Kuroo slander was the cherry on top LOL. It’s got some smut/kinky play (LOL) in it (along with the shooting, death, and blood), so just a little FYI!
Close Enemies by MyTrashyWriting (T) 2.8k // this fic leans more towards the side of fast burn (idk if that’s the right term LOL) but the build-up is still pretty good. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting the plot (though I probably should’ve seen it coming but for some reason I didn’t hehe) so I enjoyed the resolution LOL. This one is the least graphic, only a little bit of shooting, blood, and death (but also an intense make out sesh) heh, but also, some KuroDai if you squint ;)
MULTI/Rare pairs
Crumbling Foundations by Captain_Hughes_ZU, ToshiChan (T) 106.3k // I was debating whether or not to put this fic cause it actually doesn’t even have the angst tag (which I personally think it should). Honestly, it’s more a trauma fic than an angst fic idk I just wanted to put it somewhere because it’s written super well and although it was technically a ‘happy ending’ the interviews after prove else. Despite only being rated T, it’s got some intense TW so (PLEASE READ THE TAGS, THERE ARE SENSITIVE TOPICS!!!!)
(EnnoFuta) 101 Uses for Cornstarch (Culinary or Otherwise) by parenthetic (renaissance) (T) 2.6k // HI THIS IS SO FUNNY AND CUTE. Also the pick up lines were killing me, I was laughing so hard but yeah. I was not expecting the way they ended up meeting but also I love Kinoshita and Narita HAHA.
(TsukkiHina) He’s Collecting Bugs on His Body; by tmntransformer (T) 15.8k // tbh if you squint, there’s a whole bunch of rare pairs in this LOL. But the main thing from this fic is DENIAL. LOL. Also bugs LOL.
(OiYama) Beans Are Spilled by rubysilk98 (G) 24.7k // bro am I trying to tear TsukkiYama apart? No LOL, but it feels like it. It’s the getting together fic of Oikawa and Yamaguchi and the title is very fitting. Also consent is important >:(
(OiSuga) How (Not) To Share A Bathroom by renaissance (T) 9.8k // passive aggressive sticky notes,,,, but it’s really cute and made me go akjfdjksa at the end. Also, their friends are a holes to them LOL. I mean give them some pity right?
(BokuAkaKuroTsukki) Turning Heads by ahhelga for Smokey310 (T) 2.8k // uh the only thing I have to say is the secondhand embarrassment was uh intense LMFAO,,,,, no like I had to stop like three times cause I started dying a little on the inside,,,,,
ohhh so hi !! im @risosiska but i lost access to my previous acc, so im here now..... still love oiyama, still want to promote them !! hope you’ll love them too !! <3
Ok so i was talking to my bestie abt yaMaguchi ships and i started ranting about OiYama so im just gonna copy paste what i said bc i love them so much
i feel like people play too much off of the yamaguchi being totally innocent thing when in reality hes can be a total asshole too, kinda like oikawa except hes more shy, and oikawa dEFFF has an inferiority complex i mean c'mon, and he would be there to back up oikawa, while oikawa would def show him off and stand up for him and yamaguchi would just be so flustered like omfg the potential of this fuckin SHIPP!while he does have the innocent aspect to him he can also totally just talk so much shit if someone underestimated him leaving everyone like 😀
like not to mention i kinda imagine Oiyama being a enemies to lovers kinda ship,bc oikawa would totally be making fun of him thinking he was another hinata, and yamaguchi would slap him in the fuckin face
oikawa wouldnt even know what to do honestly he would just be S H O C K E D
after that he would definitely gain a lot of respect for yamaguchi, and I have a feeling that is when oikawa would start crushing on him hypothetically, but it would take yamaguchi a loooong time bc he would still be totally pissed.
even though he was pissed yamaguchi would probably be just as shocked as oikawa bc omg he just slapped the "great king" and he would probably just run back to where the rest of his team is while suga is like DYING Laughing and noya and tanaka would totally hype him up like "YEAH OUR TEAMMATE JUST ROCKED THE KINGS SHIT WOOOOOO"
Yamaguchi ya no quería ser virgen, tenía dieciocho años, era un total fracaso. Así que, su mejor idea fue invocar un incubo para que de una y otra formal perderlo... Aunque algo salió mal.
