bokuto figures out he has a crush on akaashi and does something about it. the note i left in the bookmark was “WAGH” and yeah, that about sums it up.
afflictions for below-average asian americans by upheaval | T | 7.6K
sakuatsu, au where the miyas live in the suburban u.s. and the sakusa family becomes their new neighbors. atsumu-centric with a lot of feelings surrounding his identity as himself and as a japanese teenager living in american suburbia. i know i’ve talked about this one before but woaugh.
I wish to live in a world by hatsuna | T | 24.8K
komori-centric character study about figuring yourself out and growing up with sakusa-motoya cousin dynamics, some sakuatsu, and hints at sunakomo towards the end. i’ve also recced this one before but i figured i’d put it in one of these lists because this is literally one of my all-time favorite fics in this fandom. gorgeous prose and really, really well-written with some very visceral emotion.
chasing gold by skiecas | M | 45K
iwaoi against the backdrop of the 2021 summer olympics. if i had to pick a word to describe this fic, it would be “warm.” bc WOW. them. it’s long and only one part, and it is worth every word.
Landslide by ChoAyako | E | 55.4K
bokuaka urban fantasy au! akaashi is a newly-turned vampire grappling with the adjustment and bokuto is a wolf shifter and blood donor. they become friends and start to inhabit each other’s lives more and they fall in love :) very sweet and has some really cool worldbuilding.

atsuhina. the msby 4 live together and even though it’s chaos, They Are Friends. plenty of humor :)
behavioural response of the msby black jackal to newfound independence: a study by miya osamu by spacedhowell | T | 11.4K
osamu gets a front-row seat to the msby 4 attempting to Adult. funny with some sakuatsu and sunaosa and a heavy emphasis on the miya twins’ relationship.
don’t talk to me or any of my fourteen children ever again by meregalaxiesandgods | T | 40K
karasuno-centric, ukai pov; each member of the team including kiyoko and yachi gets their own chapter. i’ve recommended this one before too but it’s god-tier, also one of my all-time favorite fics in the fandom. on-point characterization, wonderful prose, the dynamics between each of them are *chefs kiss*, and every emotion kicks you full-force in the chest. ukai’s their big brother and their dad and their coach and i’m going to cry about it.
