osasuga

sugaten
weight of tears, and the hands that wipe them by davidelizabeth
(technically a ushitendaisuga fic? but like, in a "daichi and his boyfriend suga and suga's boyfriend tendou and tendou's boyfriend ushijima" way. the fic itself is also pretty sugaten-centric)
match point by glitch_writes
ushisuga
why did it have to be you? by ofmorninglory (if you are at all intrigued by ushisuga, i recommend checking out their other fics as well! i really like how they write them, they got me to really consider a ship i wasn’t huge on before)
love, much like the goose, knows neither law or limits by Sai
i’m beginning to understand by Sai
so, this is a ushitensuga fic and it’s pretty sugaten centric BUT i am linking it under ushisuga bc it’s the sequel to the one above.
-
there's no iwasuga on this list bc i already have a iwasuga-specific fic recs post so it would have been redundant, lol. it's in my pinned so check it out if you haven't!
happy suga day!!! honestly if anyone ends up reading any of these (especially the oisuga ones), let me know!!
The words replayed in Suga’s head over and over and over, and even now, while he sat alone in his apartment, he stares dumbfounded at the wall. Because Suga was certain he had made it clear that he wasn’t the relationship type, he had said no.
Ushijima had seemed upset, but he respected Suga’s answer. He thanked Suga for the time they had together, making it clear he was not interested in a friends-with-benefits situation anymore. Then he left with one last kiss.
However, Suga now questioned his decision. There was an emptiness in his apartment, in his heart, that had not been there, and it wasn’t as simple as finding a new person to sleep with. He missed Ushijima.
He wanted Ushijima. Wanted to be with him.
“Fuck.”
Suga sprung from his bed and ran to his door, slipping on his shoes and grabbing his keys. If he was going to do this, it had to be now. Lucky for him, he knew exactly where Ushijima was going to be because he was supposed to be there, cheering him on from the pit.
If he hurried, he could make it in time to watch the end of the race, even with the traffic. When he arrived at the track he swerved into the back lot, going right up to the gate.
“Sugawara-san?” a worker said, recognizing him from the many times he had been there with Ushijima.
“Hey… hi. Make sure that doesn’t get towed!”
He didn’t stop much as he ran to Ushijima’s crew, where he knew he would find Tendou with a headset. They were all too enthralled in the race to notice him coming, and Tendou shrieked when Suga grabbed the headset off him midsentence.
“Hey! What the- …Suga?”
“Hi, I need to talk to Wakatoshi.”
“Now? This couldn’t have waited?”
“Yes now,” Suga informed him, and he put the headset on, listening to a confused Ushijima.
“…number sixteen doing? …Hello, Satori?”
“Wakatoshi, you know, the least you could do is be losing your race.”
Beside him Tendou scolded him for saying such a thing, but Suga swatted him away.
“Koushi?”
There was a mix of surprise, but Ushijima said his name the way he always had. It was soft and strong, determined, powerful. Suga always felt invincible when he heard his name like that. He felt he could do anything, be anything. Two days without hearing it and he realized how down he had felt.
Suga composed himself, watching Ushijima keep his lead with his competitors just behind him, waiting for an opening Ushijima was not likely to give.
“Just imagine how great it would have been if you were losing, then you hear my voice on your headset telling you to get your butt in gear,” Suga explained. He was going to tell Ushijima it would be something out of the romantic movies, but then he would have to spend fifteen minutes explaining all of the tropes. A pointless conversation because Ushijima would still not understand what would be entertaining about those things.
“Would you like me to start losing?” he asked.
“No, not now. It wouldn’t be authentic now. I’m just saying it would have been nice to see since it would show you care,” Suga explained.
“Koushi, I do care.” The words have Suga holding his breath. It wasn’t a surprise, but he liked to hear it. He liked the way Ushijima said it. And he loved how the next thing out of his mouth was, “I am just an excellent driver.”
Suga laughed. “Yeah, I guess you are.”
Tendou was motioning for Suga to give the headset back or get on with whatever he was doing because in his mind, Suga was a distraction.
“Listen, I want to be your boyfriend.”
“But you said-”
“I know what I said, Wakatoshi, but I am changing my mind. I miss you. I want you back. I want us back.”
Silence.
Unnerving silence that made Suga’s palms sweat. He figured Ushijima would have said yes right away. That it was a no brainer because he was the one who asked in the first place.
“Fuck…” Ushijima whispered to himself. “Hey, Koushi, darling, yes to us, but can you hand the headset back to Satori?”
“Fiiiiine,” Suga replied, taking it off and handing it back over. “It’s for you,” he said to Tendou.
Suga wasn’t sure what exactly they were doing because if he was being honest, he wasn’t sure what strategy there was involved in racing besides trying to keep the corner. So he just waited, watching Ushijima hold onto his lead.
He could barely contain his excitement as Ushijima passed the finishline, meeting him in the winner’s circle. Suga ran to him, wrapping his arms around his neck for a kiss. Ushijima held him close with one arm, the other holding onto his newly won trophy.
“Is this the part where I tell you that I will always win my races for you?” Ushijima asked.
Suga smiled, shaking his head. “Wakatoshi, win or lose, you have me.”
The upside to Haikyuu is the characters. So many great characters, so many great different personalities and stories. They fit a billion different tropes in a billion different pairings.
The downside to Haikyuu is the characters. Because in no way, shape, or form, do I ever wanna read a comic about UshiSuga office romance BUT I SAW IT AND NOW I HAVE TO READ IT
I’m bringing you really wonderful and epic series to read!!
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 4
Haikyuu!!
Every Tomorrows by MissKiraBlue
Time Loop au
1. Don’t Make Me Walk When I Want To Fly
"I don't want to leave without an apology"
After Hinata rushed from their fight he ended up in a car accident.
But when he wakes up he's not dead and he's not in a hospital either.
Hinata has to live the same day – the day when he and Kageyama fought – over and over again until he finds a solution where he could get out of the time loop.
But when the time comes, will Hinata have enough strength and bravery to do what has to be done?
An AU of what could have happened after the fight in Season 2 Episode 5.
2. Worthless Pride
3. Midnight Belonged To Miracles
4. This Version of Me
5. Crowd Full Of Strangers
Personal Notes: Warning guys, if you read this series go through the tags. Seriously, GO THROUGH THE TAGS. Some of the stuff may be triggering.
The series has 5 works, out of which 4 are completed. I’ve put the description for the first work. It’s also the starting point. If you read it out of order you’ll not understand anything.
Seriousness aside, this series is one of the best I’ve ever read. Give it a try!
Haikyuu at Hogwarts by Killthespare
Pretty much as the title suggests: a Hogwarts!AU with Haikyuu. It's planned as a seven book series so definitely a longer series. This first few can be read out of order with only minor confusion (about as easily as the first few Harry Potter books can) but there is an overall series plot in addition to the individual plots of each story. As of the fourth book, the previous third story should really be read before the fourth or later books.
So far, the stories in order:
1.) Shouyou Hinata and the Mirror of Erised (complete)
2.) Koushi Sugawara and the Heir of Slytherin (complete)
3.) Yu Nishinoya and the Shrieking Shack (complete)
4.) Tooru Oikawa and the Triwizard Tournament (in progress)
Personal Notes: It’s great!
All in the Cards by Killthespare
The Card Kingdoms Stand United.
...of course, this would be a lot easier if Hearts had their King. It's too bad that Oikawa Tooru emphatically does not want the job. Meanwhile, the threat of war looms on the horizon and Hinata Shouyou just uncovered a plot that could rock the entire kingdom to the core.
Personal Notes: Not yet completed, but it’s great!
Wingbeats by All_My_Characters_Are_Dead
Here there be dragons (and dragon riders).
Follow two flocks of trainee riders and their dragon partners as they work through their year of preparation before they take the final test that will allow them to become fully fledged riders.
Each flock has two leader pairs, two intermediate pairs, and five trainee pairs. What could possibly go wrong?
Personal Notes: It’s not completed, but you’ll still have fun!
Memento Mori by All_My_Characters_Are_Dead
Remember that you must die.
But also remember that there are fates worse than death.
In the four Courts of the Fae, trouble is brewing. Members of every Court will be face death and destruction before peace can settle over the Courts.
Personal Notes: Read Glamour first! And go through the tags.
Being Human by shions_heart
Set in an alternate world of magic, witches, and demons, our volleyball sons learn about life, love, and what it means to be human.
Personal Notes: I reread the entire series twice!! It’s amazing!
Shopping Mall Shenanigans by Deathbelle
1. Tacky Shoes and Movie Tickets
Akaashi deals with a lot of stupid people.
He isn't yet certain if Bokuto falls into that category.
In which Akaashi is the manager of a movie theater, Bokuto is the new hire at the shoe store downstairs, and the two of them get along much better than Akaashi could have anticipated.
2. Call Security!
Oikawa Tooru is attractive, charming, and irresistible.
He thinks so, anyway, until he meets the mall's new security guard.
In which Oikawa has a crush, Iwaizumi has no interest, and a chain of shoplifting incidents brings them together.
Personal Notes: The series is not marked completed, but the stories here are!
Robin Hood AU by Stacysmash
Personal Notes: It’s a - you guessed it, a Robin Hood AU. It features KuroDai as the main pairing, but includes lots of ships with great exposure.
All’s Fair in Love and Bentos by sopenation
Semi is just concerned about his kouhai, that’s all.
Or, Semi makes bento for Shirabu everyday once he learns about his terrible eating habits.
(Feat. Shirabu gay panicking because of it)
—
When Shirabu thinks of love, he imagines ash blonde hair and bentos.
Personal Notes: The second part features Semi’s POV!! Check out the author’s other works!
It can’t be real, Suga tells himself. There’s no way that Ushijima would willingly make a tindr profile. There’s no way that Ushijima even knows what tindr is. And, if he does, it’s not like he’s a horndog like everyone else is- Ushijima wouldn’t make a profile. He’s...well, he’s annoyingly above that. Right? Mr. Freakin’ Perfect wouldn’t stoop to signing up for tindr- he could get anyone he wants with just a little look. Ushijima doesn’t need a tindr. There’s no reason for him to have a profile. It’s definitely not real. It’s fake! It’s fake!
Suga’s thumb twitches and he swipes right.
Match!
...what?
whAT?!
In his shock, Suga’s body reacts with a jerk and he ends up launching his phone toward his closet as a shriek rips from his lips.
He only realizes what he’s done once his phone goes off and Suga scrambles toward it- eyes wide and mouth gaping.
Luckily it had managed to land in the hamper on his floor and had not cracked against his closet door.
Thank god.
A giddy, frantic laugh leaves Suga and he collapses onto the floor with his phone clutched tightly in his hand. Whenever he checks his notifications, he sees that it was just a spam text and his heart calms down a little bit.
His mind keeps racing, though.
Okay. So. So.
So...Ushijima Wakatoshi might or might not have a tindr profile. Suga’s matched with him. And that’s...that’s…
Suga swallows hard and he looks down at his phone, pulls up the app with a bitten lip.
It would be a lie to say that he isn’t intrigued. It would be a lie to say that he isn’t interested. It would be a lie to say that he hasn’t thought about hooking up with Ushijima once or twice.
Maybe three or four or five or a hundred times.
Suga’s cheeks burn and he closes his eyes with a quiet moan, clutches his phone tight.
Today’s WIP is from a “hey you matched up with me on tindr and i really want to bone (and have wanted to for a solid year and a half now) so let’s hook up” ushisuga wip c:
I’m actually fond of this one. Hopefully i’ll finish it one day;;;
