This is so long overdue HAHAHAHA sorry,,,, it also means more work for me </3 All the bokuaka 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 14 but that doesn’t account for each individual fic in a series!)
In Another Life by LittleLuxray (T) 23k // this is literally the #1 kudoed (can I do that?) thing on AO3 for good reason. People do not and will not shut up about this fic and honestly, I don’t blame them LOL. Again, I’m begging you to read warnings and tags because there’s some heavy stuff in this and it WILL make you sad sad sad.
Upstairs by yoogiboobi (E) 15.9k // I liked the build up for this fic, and it didn’t feel as long as it actually was!! I had a lotta fun reading it but also, the ending made me laugh so hard when Bokuto was being sad AHAHAH. It’s got SMUT in it, so check the warnings and tags!
Cool Dads Club by pancake_surprise (series) 29.7k // UGH I love this series. It’s fluff and cuteness central! They’re all so domestic with the CHILDREN! (a couple different ships!)
Rainbow Veins by bokkuroo (T) 11.6k // TW DEATH! Some angst for you all. Honestly, I had a whole different plot in my brain during the first couple of paragraphs, but it didn’t come true :( It’s okay though, I still felt pain :’)
Knock on wood by Qitana (G) 9.2k // morse code! It’s cool and idk how it works, but it made for a great plot :D I’d be a bit careful on this one, there’s a hospitalization for an injury! Like the writer wanted, yes I was hit with the feels :’)
Seasons by Nimbus_Cloud (series) 176.3k // surprised that I forgot to recommend this one in my long fic list,,,,, oops,,,,, it’s long but it’s very good! Read TAGS AND WARNINGS cause some stuff goes down. (also has kuroken!)
In the Absence of Light by meeks00 (E) 50.7k // WITCHES AND WITCH HUNTERS LETS GOOOOO. I really love this one because 1. Akaashi and Kenma’s friendship is one of my favorite hc! And 2. because of MAGIC AHHH! It’s a whole mess, but it’s such a good fic omg. CHECK TAGS AND WARNINGS cause fighting and SMUT!
Karma by dgalerab (T) 9k // PETTY AKAASHI? Sign me up. But no really, I love how Akaashi is in this fic and I think he’s characterized SO well! Also I too would get distracted as Bokuto does yoga with me ahaha. Anyway, I love the dynamics between everyone in this fic and it’s CUTE.
Take off my mask by CarissaThePanda (M) 17.4k // THIS HAS A MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH BY SUICIDE. I thought this was a very interesting take on Bokuto’s character and personality. Also deals with some side character death scare (who? I can’t reveal cause that’s a secret).
bang! now we’re even by Authoress (M) 11.9k // yes you might recognize this from my other post LOL, but I really love this fic so here it is. AGAIN HEHE. Also, Akaashi in a dress? Like the tags might state, what more do you need? The characters are done beautifully, and the story development is SO good (like THE TWIST UGH).
hq detective AUs by valiantarmor // again, from that same post EHEHE. Man do I really love fighting in my fics LOL. This was super good and the plot itself kept me really engaged (what a twist omg). It does talk a bit about mental health issues, but it’s done so well, and they really did this AU justice! The three fics can be read separately BUT they’re all done so well, I think you should read them all :)
it’s tradition by gabstar (NR) 1.9k /BokuAka/ basically this is bokuto and his quest to get smooched HAHAH. I really liked the way bokuto’s anticipation was built up in this fic, and overall it was a funny fluff fic HAHA.
il mio ragazzo falso by karasunovolleygays (T) 18.5k // there has been a collective agreement within our discord that Gina is actually the best character in this fic hands down. In fact, we love her side of the family so much (excluding the great grandfather he is not loved). That being said, I loved this fic and I loved the way mr. quarter Italian Akaashi was portrayed in this fic.
gwah, bam and swoosh by dalyeau (G) 1.6k // THEY HAVE KIDS! I love the idea of them swapping lunches that was so cute but also the a/n at the end had me rolling because I didn’t even consider that HAHAH.
Summaries from fic directly!

He is active on social media, interacts with fans and is usually journalists’ first pick for an interview.But not much is known about Bokuto’s personal life. That is, until he accidentally posts a photo on Twitter featuring another man, dressed in nothing but a pair of short-shorts and glasses.This is how the world met the love of Bokuto Koutarou’s life.
