ooh boy, i read a lot of amazing fics this month, and still got so much more to go. feel free to keep recommending fics to me, i've enjoyed all of them so far <3
some of these fics are rated e!
i keep a couple of feet between everybody and me
t. 5.6k. in which sakuatsu don't think they're dating and publicly announce they aren't. cue social media and the rest of their friends calling their bullshit. comedic and fun to read.
let them talk about us (talk too much)
g. 8.6k. sakusa and atsumu are interviewed and work through who atsumu's mysterious lover is (not knowing it's sakusa). the greatest thing since sliced bread. please read this.
every action has an equal and opposite reaction
t. 10.4k. in which sakusa realizes he has feelings for atsumu after seeing his calvin klein ad. i adore how the fandom's go-to sponsor for any of the boys is calvin klein, and how it's always with copious amounts of godly description and thirsting. also, physics metaphors. as someone allergic to science, i appreciate writers who use them.
For Someone Worth It
g. 15.7k. atsumu hears sakusa sing in the locker room, but it isn't any song - it's a love song. that means sakusa has a crush, but who? atsumu is determined to find out, until he realizes he has a crush on sakusa. very lovely prose and writing!
and curfew's at midnight (we watch the sunrise)
t. 19.6k. atsumu is upset about osamu's decision not to go pro but also freaks out when he learns sakusa is going to college instead, hence a whirlwind trip to tokyo to convince him otherwise. this is peak miya atsumu behavior with all his annoying traits but also insecurities. loved his characterization in this one.
The Superstitions of Cabin 4
t. 20.1k. 2/2. sakusa and atsumu are trapped in a cabin on the mountain due to a snowstorm and slowly fall in love while learning more about each other.
Other Boys in Other Ports
e. 26.5k. 3/3. space sailor atsumu meets bartender sakusa for three days every few months. the yearning is STRONG in this. it's not very spicy if you aren't into that, but if you are into mutual pining, romance, and angst with a happy ending (it's HAPPY), you'll definitely be into this.
a tachycardic response
t. 64.8k. 10/10. the next longfic after the posterior probability in atsumu's pov. i love fics that delve into how relationships go wrong because it isn't just miscommunication but insecurity, making assumptions, feeling inferior, etc. all of that is portrayed amazingly in atsumu's pov, and i'm eager to continue with this series!
homebody and dry skin
t. 66.3k. 7/7. atsumu is stranded at the airport and calls sakusa to pick him up, which he miraculously does. this fic is underrated. i was worried about the estranged family tag, thinking it would be between atsumu and osamu (it isn't) but it was beautifully done. i love the prose, the backstory, the interactions with atsumu and sakusa's extended families - honestly one of my favorites of the year so far. <3
Insert Coin To Play
e. 178.3k. 17/17. this one is recommended on every sakuatsu fanfic list you will ever find with good reason. amazing premise, details, prose, action, and on-point character development and portrayal. you will also be doing yourself a favor by reading this.
if you like what you see (end your curiosity)
e. 5.1k. i try to keep what explicit fics i read to myself but this one deserves to be here. steamy prose and even steamier descriptions. you're doing yourself a favor by reading this.
good luck charm
t. 5.7k. in the past, a fox rescued the miya twins from their burning house. 10 years later, osamu meets suna. you can probably tell where this will go 👀 the prose is very whimsical and light, which i enjoyed very much.
i'd like to call you on the way home
t. 6.3k. apartment hunting is a form of love, and this fic exemplifies this very well, along with all the little details that bring snos's relationship to life. a beautiful read <3
learning to warm cold hands
m. 84.6k. 11/11. suna returns to hyogo after retiring as a pro and reconnects with his ex after seven years, osamu. told in both present and past pov, with a healthy dose of angst, comfort, and eventual happy ending <3 this was in my tabs for the longest time and i finally got around to reading it. definitely one of snos's best gems.
the yellow room
t. 14.2k. iwa and oikawa broke up but still live together and pictures of them kissing are still on their fridge. i love vulnerability and insecurity because of how raw it makes a relationship, and this was done beautifully.
a green ring upon my finger
t. 7.5k. in which hinata thinks his finger is turning green after wearing his wedding ring once too often. very cute with a dash of insecure hinata and comforting kageyama.
from this day forward
t. 9.5k. in which kageyama thought it'd be romantic to propose to hinata by putting the ring in a meat bun. absolutely amazing and hilarious. you need this in your life, trust me.
Goodnight, Tadashi
g. 5.3k. tsukkiyama. in which tsukki buys a body pillow and names it tadashi. i love this trope to death and the ending is just superb!
a good pair of headphones
t. 5.8k. tsukkiyama. tsukishima discovers he likes yamaguchi. lots of pining and questioning because tsukki is nothing if not fastidious about his love for yamaguchi. lovely prose!
The Best/Worst Places to Cry in the City
t. 4.4k. matsukawa gets hit on while crying by hanamaki and then brings him somewhere to cry. poor mattsun, but at least you got your man in the end? i still stand by happiness is in matsuhana fics, btw.
The Mystery of Ushijima Wakatoshi’s Chocolate-Making, Paris-Living Boyfriend
t. 8.2k. ushiten. got another rec for you, ushiten anon 😎 the adlers try to figure out who ushijima's boyfriend is and only kageyama seems to figure it out, which is fine. i loved all the different perspectives in this one!
A Perfect Fit
t. 10k. arankita. kita gives a pair of gloves to aran, who wears them to ruin during 3rd year and atsumu makes a snarky comment, only for kita to reveal he was the one who made them. aran's brain promptly stops working. very fluffy read!
My Nameless World (I’ll Let You In)
t. 18k. kuroken, kagehina. kenma and hinata are roommates and it might as well be like kageyama lives with them too, because of how often he's over. kenma observes their relationship and thinks maybe...maybe's something going on with him and kuroo.
The Five Stages of Being in Love with Your Roommate
t. 18.6k. 5/5. bokuaka and kuroken. aka the five stages of grief when it comes to wanting to admit you're in love with your roommate but you don't want to confess, afraid the other won't reciprocate. very cute with both couples getting their happy ending.
