LoveBlossom Fic Rec List 🌹🌸

Another post to keep track of fics i love, this time with another Adam otp :D 

Those fics that have a good chunk of MatchaBlossom in them are tagged with 🍵, personal favorites are tagged with 🌹🌸

Buckle up for a ton of angst :’D

burn down something beautiful by benicemurphy 🌹🌸

It all starts with a little friendly competition.

It ends on a weekend during sunset.

false premise by eeriemedusa  🍵🌹🌸

What feels like a lifetime later, Kaoru is halfway down the S track and still believes that what Kojiro said is true.

He has built his entire strategy this evening around that premise, around the foundational knowledge that Ainosuke will not hurt him. Not really, not intentionally.

--Machine learning is only as good as the available data. Kaoru can’t account for all his mistakes.

this hurricane's chasing us all underground by Ivory_Gold

The reason why Ainosuke left Kaoru behind.

the long way down by Jay_Grace

“Kojiro’s sweet…” Adam started, lip twitching into a smile, “but there’s not much behind the eyes,” his own eyes sparkled, meeting Kaoru’s as if they were sharing an inside joke. Kaoru laughed, suddenly breathless.

“you haven’t tasted his cooking,” Kaoru said, figuring he should at least try to defend his friend. Adam hummed, sipping the drink the waiter dropped off during their conversation.

“not as good as the food here, I bet,” he said. ‘not as good as what I can offer you,’ Kaoru heard, reading between the lines.

Adam’s eyes hadn’t left his, even as his head dipped down to taste the overpriced wine. Kaoru knew it was overpriced; he’d had the same kind a few months back at a party his parents threw. It was okay back then, but here, with the dim lighting and Adam’s raking gaze, it tasted like pure ecstasy

aka: being with Adam is like a dream, until it all comes crashing down.

XOR by besselfcn 🍵

He does not know anything. He does not know what hurts. He does not know his mother’s name. He does not even know if he is awake now.

He knew Adam once. The way he used to know his own body.

If those are gone, what else could he know?

lucidity by besselfcn 🍵

So you spend your days in school with Kojiro, each of you sketching daydreams in the corners of your notebooks; you spend your evenings at the rink listening to the sound of metal grinding against wood, chasing boys through crowded alleys, the three of you laughing as you leave the rest of them miles behind; and you spend your nights with Adam.

Charmed by benicemurphy 🌹🌸

Kaoru gets Adam a present for his birthday and is nervous about giving it to him.

In Due Time (We'll Finally See) by benicemurphy 🌹🌸

As has been his habit since Kojiro first started accepting Tadashi and Adam into his restaurant after hours, Kaoru does his best not to engage. It’s true that he told Kojiro when it first came up that he was fine with it, but even now, several months after the end of the tournament and a smaller, though not insignificant number of months since they began seeing each other outside of S again, Kaoru can’t seem to let it go. 🌸 Or: Kaoru and Adam have a long-overdue conversation.

Kiss It Better by killjester

Adam and Cherry kiss and make up. Kind of.

can i have this dance? by tellmewhatyousee 🌹🌸

Adam gives Cherry a dance lesson.

I Love You (and maybe that's enough) by Odazai

Ainosuke just wants to heal, to be loved, to be enough.

Repent & Make Efforts by RosieRaven 🍵🌹🌸 (loveblossom-centric poly!)

Cherry tries to find closure. Adam tries to atone.

------------------------------------------------

“Can’t I just want to treat an old acquaintance to dinner?”

Kaoru slaps his palm on the table and the crystal clinks and sways dangerously. “Quit dodging the subject. What is this?”

Adam looks frustrated for a moment before he’s able to smooth out his countenance. “It’s whatever you, want it to be.”

Kaoru rolls his eyes.

“I’m not trying to be vague. I mean it. If you want to lay into me, with words or by other means, and never see me again, then that’s what this is. If it’s just-” Their eyes lock as Adam searches for words. His expression is more serious than it’s been all night. “If it’s just… penance until you’re satisfied, then that’s what this is. It’s whatever you want, Cherry.”

Eden Fic Rec List 🌹❄️

Decided to make a list of Eden fics I enjoyed reading a lot to keep track of them. Personal favorites (aka the ones that live in my head rent-free) have 🌹❄️next to them :D

I won't always love what I'll never have; I won't always live in my regrets by benicemurphy 🌹❄️ 

Carefully, Langa peels up the blue seal. There’s a plain, off-white card inside that simply says, 2:00 factory. There’s no signature, but Langa knows who it’s from. His heart begins to race in earnest. It’s stupid. It would be so stupid to go there. So irresponsible. Adam is a terrifying, wild person, and Langa would be the world’s biggest idiot to meet him alone, late at night, without telling anyone where he’s going. On the other hand... If he doesn’t go, he realizes, he’ll regret it. There’s something good waiting for him there. An adventure.

Or: the convoluted ship fic in which Adam and Reki both love Langa, Langa and Tadashi both love Adam, Cherry and Joe love each other but Cherry still loves Adam a little bit first, and everyone gets therapy when it's all over, hopefully.

Playing with Fire by Anonymous 🌹❄️

An exhaled breath draws Langa's gaze to the side and he spots Adam leaning against a wall near the factory's exit, board propped up beside him, blowing out smoke from his cigarette. He can feel their eyes meet without being able to actually see them through the dark shadows of his mask. Adam tilts his head in a silent acknowledgement and grins, a sharp tooth peaking through his lips. Something about Adam, or maybe it's something about this moment and the mood he's in, has a familiar burn coiling in Langa's gut and gets his heart stirring, the undeniable need to rise to a challenge and win. Reki is wrong and Langa is going to prove it. Adam was not hitting on him back there. Similar to how he'd jumped in head-first with his races, taking on skilled opponents and embracing the rush of pure adrenaline, Langa marches over to the matador without a second thought.

~ Or: In which Langa accidentally and unknowingly flirts with Adam. It escalates.

give me grief by chirospasms 🌹❄️

Langa wishes he was wrong about the most likely reason Adam has taken an interest in a widowed woman like his mother.

Or maybe he doesn't.

No. No, he definitely does. He's got to stop thinking these things.

the one where adam starts dating langa's mother and langa regrettably still lets him get in his pants

Enthralled by Anonymous

Adam stops before the open door of the car and turns back to look at you. "Langa-kun, want a ride?" he asks. You hesitate for only a few seconds. The choice is an easy one in the end. You're stranded in the middle of a road and the cops are coming.

Never get in a car with a stranger, your mother used to say, back when you were still a child, but the fear of getting caught and arrested by the police is a more pressing concern. You couldn't afford to have a black mark like that on your record. "Sure," you reply. It doesn't escape your notice that the self-assured grin on Adam's face grows even wider when you move forward to get in the car with him, taking the empty seat he leaves as he slides over.

To Love Again by Yamielsun  🌹❄️

Adam ropes his friends into going to watch the legendary skater known as “Snow”, the God of an underground skating operation run at midnight on the abandoned mines.

He falls in love.

glow of dawn by mumsywrites

He turns the corner and spots a familiar shock of blue hair down a set of stairs.

It’s Adam, sitting by himself, the cut-out of his outfit exposing bits of his heavily muscled skin to the elements. A slight breeze blows by and the man shivers slightly. It’s not that it’s particularly cold out, but it is still early. No warmth from the sun to soothe him from the wind.

Langa spots Adam in a moment of solitude after their finale beef.

inhale, exhale by tellmewhatyousee

“Would you like to try it, little Langa?”

Langa blinked, surprised by the question. It had certainly crossed his mind, but he hadn’t been expecting an offer like that. “I’m… not really sure how,” he admitted.

“Well, that’s just fine,” Adam said with a wave of his hand, ashes falling from the cigarette onto the pavement. “I can help you.”

LoveDream by Anonymous

The mask wasn’t entirely out of the ordinary— plenty of people preferred to cover their face as an extra level of security, so they didn’t have to worry about keeping it out of the frame. But there was something about that man’s look, the smirk on his face and his unnaturally sharp canines, that really caught Langa’s attention.

Curious, he clicked the ‘join’ button.

I'm Not In Love by rbt 🌹❄️

Okay, here's the thing: Langa has gone off to university in Nagasaki, and he hasn't been home in a long while. So when Reki suggests that they crash Adam's big, fancy birthday party and drink his booze, Langa pretty easily convinced. What's the worst that could happen? It's not like Langa would get drunk, and then accidentally ask out the man he hasn't been able to stop thinking about for a year, right? Right?

When Langa meets Adam again after nearly a year, he has to figure out what he wants. Is he just crushing on Adam's amazing skating abilities, or is there something more? And how the hell do you try to navigate your own feelings while at the same time having to deal with someone as Extra™ as Adam?

Somewhere to Begin by benicemurphy 🌹❄️

A familiar hum reaches his ears, and he turns and finds one of the drones hovering nearby. It’s nearly silent, but the night is so still — not so much as a breeze — that the noise travels. He watches the thing, but it does nothing. Langa assumed they’d all gone after the crowd dispersed. He has no idea what this one is still doing here.

After a few seconds, he raises a hand in greeting. The drone doesn’t do anything, of course. So Langa says, loudly enough that if the drone were a person, it would be able to hear him: “Adam, if you can hear me… You can come back. You still have a home here.”

The Way of Thaw by Anonymous

Adam had spent most of his life desperately trying to grasp a shred of happiness in a cold, miserable world and seen it slip out of his fingers time and time again. He'd become numb and jaded without even realizing the extent of his sorrow. It had taken almost losing his sanctuary and being brought to his lowest point to make him realize he had been going about it all wrong. Now, for the first time in over a decade, Adam feels content and at peace, a tranquil smile gracing his lips. His heart is at ease and his stress has melted away. This, something simple and kind and offered freely to him from the one he loves and cherishes, is truly Eden.

he has me by my heart by Ivory_Gold

Reki and Shadow are open about their dislike for Adam. Langa is trying to defend his boyfriend.
