some of these fics are rated e!
sakuatsu
please and thank you e. 6.4k. no comment, just really hot sakuatsu nsfw. please enjoy.
"Yes, and..." (Miya Atsumu's Practical Guide to Improvisation) m. 11.5k. in which atsumu pretends to be sakusa's blind date and proceeds to woo him. hilarious premise with fun interactions and revelation at the end!
trypanophobia t. 13k. 2/2. sakusa stops hanging out with atsumu after learning he never got his flu shot, so atsumu tries to get it...except he has a fear of needles. cue sakusa accompanying him to keep his calm and it evolves into something more. very cute!
oh me, oh my, i thought it was a dream t. 13k. sakusa moves to a small town and hears atsumu talk about him on the radio. THIS WAS INCREDIBLY CUTE. amazing dynamics with osamu and suna, the slow (mid?) burn between atsumu and sakusa, all of atsumu's shameless flirting...delicious.
sunaosa
Glow m. 12.3k. thank you @silktao for the rec! this was lovely to read, i love the subtle hints of suna's depression and the depiction of snos' day to day <3 definitely deserves all the praise!
iwaoi
five minutes west of irvine g. 20.3k. 2/2. maaaan this was absolutely beautiful. this focuses on oikawa in argentina and his relationship with iwaizumi. i haven't read the other fics in the series but i'm sure they're just as lovely <3
bloom t. 26.9k. 2/2. modern magic au where everyone has a superpower of some kind but oikawa doesn't, yet he persevered and got onto seijoh's volleyball team despite that. it really hones on the "oikawa tooru is not a genius" narrative in such a potent way. i enjoyed this very much.
Once Is An Accident, Twice Is A Coincidence, Three Times Is A Pattern. e. 27.1k. 6/6. ehe. saw this recommended on twitter and of course, i had to check it out. very hot. give it a read.
bokuaka
flicker and burn e. 9k. top class akaashi pining in this one that leads to a very hot conclusion.
Didn't I Tell You e. 22k. 2/2. akaashi discovers bokuto wants to try bottoming. very sensual and hot. wear gloves and sunglasses, or you will be burned by how much love they radiate for each other.
like patience on a monument t. 25.4k. 2/2. akaashi pining for bokuto over the years and finally taking that first step forward. the PINING!! the amount of screaming you'll do at akaashi!! also the METAPHORS!! (you know i love a good metaphor) <3
kagehina
chase the light, my love g. 3.2k. kageyama accidentally tells the adlers he wants to propose...except they didn't know he has a partner. very cute wedding proposal fic!
One More Thing t. 6.3k. in which hinata and kageyama attend tsukishima and yamaguchi's wedding as friends and come out of it as something more. tooth-achingly fluffy!
oh we play, in autumn days not rated. 7.6k. my gourd, the somftness of this fic and the absolutely divine way kagehina is portrayed...one of my favorites of the month <3
Kabedon't t. 7.8k. hinata expresses an interest in being kabedon'd and kageyama does what he can. very, very cute and very, very fluffy <3
louder than sirens, louder than bells t. 8.9k. kageyama is invited to a party after the adlers-msby match and he has a lot to say to hinata, including things he's wanted to say ever since they part ways after high school.
other
the lucky lady g. 2.7k. daisuga. 4 times tanaka is convinced daichi has a girlfriend and 1 time he knows for sure he's wrong. this is short but funny to read!
We Like Our Fun (We Never Fight) g. 3.5k. suga, tsukishima. suga brings his 3rd grade class to the museum and gives them a challenge - whoever can stump tsukishima on a question, they get a star. very cute and wholesome, you need this in your life.
no more anti-shark propaganda t. 4.1k. seijoh4 watching shark movies. a fun and lighthearted read!
KAGEYAMA TOBIO IS NOT A GENIUS g. 6.1k. 5 times kageyama thought miya osamu was miya atsumu and 1 time he learns the truth. what was absolutely hilarious was everyone else just went with it for their own entertainment and kageyama is standing there like. what is going on. read this if you need a laugh <3
like a new pair of shoes g. 7k. tsukkiyama. tsukishima and yamaguchi move in together. that's all there is, but this fic will give you cavities. it is disgustingly domestic. your jaw will hurt from smiling too much. you have been warned.
the rivers crossed, the mountains scaled g. 10k. kita-centric. 9 times he receives a visitor at his farm and 1 time he visits someone else. the interactions are so lovely, and kita's wisdom is so endearing. i'd totally travel to his farm to ask for his advice.
The Tendou Incidents m. 32.8k. 7/7. ushiten. another rec for you, ushiten anon (i hope you're doing fabulous!) slight au where tendou is ushijima's new neighbor and completely flips ushijima's methodical routine on its head. both of these characters were developed so, so well and the dialogue is impeccable. and the end...*chef's kiss* one of my favorite ushiten fics so far!
