#haikyuu shapeshifter au

[weathertheraine]

A purrfect match - unacaritafeliz

"Hi Uncle Tettsun!” Nozomi says without moving an inch. “There's a kitty cat under here."

Tetsurou sighs, adjusting the heavy bag on his shoulder. There's been a dramatic increase in the number of cats hiding under homes or dumpsters or in trees lately, ever since the Kozume family's latest announcement. People have been chasing them down, knowing that whoever takes the key from the royal cat's collar will be allowed to marry the crown prince.

[Five times Tetsurou meets a cat, and one time he meets a human instead].

I loved beta-ing this fic by the amazing @unacaritafeliz so much I had to draw my favourite scene :DD Thank you Rae! And happy birthday Tettsun!!

Let me know if you want on a taglist! I'll tag you when I post new parts of whatever series it is you want to follow. 🖤💜

That goes for either btw or even the for one shots from particular series!

You Never Learn

f!reader x Iwaizumi Hajime, shapeshifter au, strangers to lovers, fluff, slice of life, anxiety, slow burn, background Atsumu/Sakusa

MC lives with her cat in a high-rise apartment in Osaka, enjoying the sunset each evening. Her friend Atsumu keeps her company enough and work occupies her most of the day, but nighttime is her favorite. When the sun goes down she frequents a forest just outside of the city where she's free from onlookers to shapeshift into a wolf and run her stress away. Or at least until she gets spotted by a certain athletic trainer. (not a/b/o)

But Can I Fix It

f!reader x Kyoutani Kentarou, mechanic au, strangers to lovers, fluff, angst/comfort, mental health struggles, sexual content, background Tendou/Wakatoshi

MC spends her days as a mechanic in a male dominated workforce, but she won't let that stop her or her love for cars. Between the highs and lows of dealing with customers, and herself, a particular stoic man catches her attention.

Keeps Me Up

not a reader insert, female mc, Karasuno, Seijoh, and Inarizaki boys, violence, angst, hurt/comfort, lab-created shapeshifters on the run from their creators and the government, found family

Hi, so about the shifter au for Haikyuu, What's Dateko? What kind of animals is the iron wall?

Hahaha you know I'm not sure I ever came up with shifters for Dateko. I think at one point I thought bears, because bears are my go-to shifter animals for schools that specialize in Defense, apparently. But turtles would also be fitting, if not somewhat ironic for a sports team. =)

Thanks for asking, friend!

#Mikki writes #I have asks! and I'm answering them! #Haikyuu!Shapeshifters!AU!

[angelsparkls]

all my favorite fics that no one asked for:

* = my absolute favorites

multiple ship fics:

All in the Cards (series)* - (haikyuu) MY FAVORITE FIC OF ALL TIME! although lengthy it is such a good read and has a lot of popular ships! the au is such a cool concept and the plot and characters are thought out so well it’s amazing and should definitely check it out

The Crystal Miracles - (kuroko no basket) based off steven universe but coming from someone who has never watched steven universe the fic was not super dependent on it and was just based around the plot of steven universe (apparently i talked about with my friend who actually watched steven universe) i thought it was cool so definitely recommend! also a bit lengthy but worth it

friends, worlds apart - (haikyuu) it’s mainly bokuaka but there’s other ships so i decided to put this fic here. tbh i don’t remember it too well but i do know it well enough to know that it was really good! it’s a pretty long hogwarts au fic and is based off basic plot points from harry potter but it’s not too similar imo so overall a good read!

Haikyuu:

Death Threats & Wine Bottles - (semishira) domestic semishira. that’s all. it’s cute. there’s nothing to not like about it.

Saltwater Room - (kuroken) i think i read this because of a recommendation and man it was funny. i enjoyed all the fun little bits of kenma and hinata just being friends but also the more serious angsty parts and having the whole conflict with kuroo and kenma’s dream. *sigh* it’s good but lengthy. worth it in my opinion but i like long fics so maybe not your cup of tea

When I Fall In Love - (semishira) i can’t really remember this fic since i read it a long time ago but i do remember liking it! the band au/pianist au concept was cool seeing it with semishira and they are so supportive of each other after they get over their annoyance! it’s not as long as the other long fics i’ve recommended but definitely give it a shot!

Cover My Thoughts In Gold - (bokuaka) some classic soulmate au because they are soulmates so why not have a fic that has them be confirmed soulmates

True Ending - (kuroken) marriage proposal in the best and cutest way possible and one that perfectly fits them 🥺

Cat’s Out of the Bag - (kuroken) it’s just some cute little scenes of kenma as a shapeshifter and kuroo not knowing. it’s quick but so so cute how they interact

Maybe, Probably - (sakuatsu) cute hogwarts au of slytherin atsumu and ravenclaw sakusa. yeah that’s basically it

Rose Gold - (semishira) ROYALTY AU SEMISHIRA AAAAAAA definitely one of my favorite considering that I actually never see a royalty au centered around them

Vibrant - (semishira) im a sucker for soulmate aus but this soulmate au especially was such a cute concept!

A Musical World Thanks To You - (semishira) soulmate au fic but you can hear songs that your soulmate is listening to! it really is such a good concept with semi asking shirabu to be in the talent show with him and perform a song and yk yk big build up to the moment hehe

Dog visits - (kyouhaba) the classic “oh he’s different than i thought what do i do now” and yahaba being soft with kyoutani’s dog is everything and kyoutani not knowing how to deal with yahaba barging into his life 😍

be my honeybee - (kyouhaba) tw: implied/referenced child ab/se if you aren’t comfortable with that please don’t read <3 but it is a good fic and addresses real issues especially with kyoutani not really having anyone to help him until yahaba came around. it’s a bit long and made me cry a little so that’s why it’s good

Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back - (kyouhaba) everyone has superpower abilities!! i always love aus like this so it’s not a surprise it’s one of my favorites. it also touches on mental health in the form of kyoutani doing too much for people when he doesn’t need to and always sacrificing himself for others even when it makes him unhappy. it’s so good tho if you ever decide to read it because it is a bit long

rewrite the stars - (kuroken) arranged marriage au where kenma and kageyama are going to get married but by the end they realize that they are marrying the wrong people and its so cute seeing kenma come to that realization

Kuroko No Basket:

The Frog in the Well - (midotaka) it has been a while since i read this fic but i do remember laughing about this and just thinking it was overall cute especially with the whole aspect of being a loose retelling of “The Frog-King” and i know two other people who also read this and thought it was cute so there’s that

The Witch in the Tower - (murahimu) this is from the same series and author as the previous knb fic i recommended because this fic is also based around a fairy tale and i found this really cute because they are kinda domestic in this fic since there’s just an adopted child in a tower… anyway

Feels Like Winning - (murahimu) just some soulmate au for them because murasakibara not knowing how to deal with feelings <3

Only with You - (kikasa) a cute fic for this surprisingly underrated ship! it’s not too long but encompasses these idiots’ relationship in this fic perfectly

Claws and paws - (murahimu) this shapeshifter au is so cute because like height difference 😍 and also the whole idea of like himuro being this tiny cat compared for murasakibara is funny to me. it’s kind of long but i enjoyed it!

Other Fandoms:

Boy Problems - (mirio togata x tamaki amajiki) an OG for me it’s actually one of my first bookmarks and it’s a cute little oneshot that reminds me how oblivious and stupid these idiots are

the blind leading the blind - (childe x zhongli) it’s not really focused on relationship but it really touches on the betrayal that childe feels after realizing that zhongli gave his gnosis to signora behind his back and i think this fic is so very cool for creating that scenario and executed it perfectly!

kintsugi - (teru minamoto x akane aoi) oh lord. oh god. this fic actually kinda broke me. it’s a very bittersweet fic that makes me go OMG YAY and then oh oh oh oh /neg but it does end happily. at what cost tho. it’s so so so good tho definitely recommend. a little lengthy but not too bad

Look At Me Like That - (momotarou mikoshiba x aiichirou nitori) THIS FIC SUMS UP THIS SHIP PERFECTLY! ITS SO GOOD! like the whole thingg of ai having unrequited feelings for rin but is now in love with this idiot momo is exactly how i see their relationship and having that tied up in this one fic.

Just Leave a Comment Fest 2023 Holiday Edition

Final overall comment total for @justleaveacommentfest: 76

Here’s a very multi-fandom fic rec list of a few of the fics I read (reread in some cases), loved, and commented on that were on theme for each day of the fest:

Day 1: first fandom

(BBC Merlin is not technically the 1st fandom I was ever a part of, or even the 1st fandom I ever read fic for, but I do consider it my 1st real fandom because it’s the 1st fandom I interacted with as intensely as I interact with my fandoms now and it’s also the 1st fandom I ever wrote and posted fic for)

Fandom: BBC Merlin

Prick Love for Pricking by horsecrazy/ @cbk1000

In which Arthur and Merlin hook up at a sex party.

I haven’t felt the urge to read Merlin fic in years, but then I stumbled across this fic, which is honestly one of the funniest things I’ve read in a hot minute, and now my love for Merthur has reawakened within me with vengeance

And Down the River's Dim Expanse by horsecrazy

In which Arthur is a water spirit who tries to drown Merlin. Merlin is not impressed.

Literally obsessed with this fic from the second I read the 1st paragraph

Day 2: bookmark day

Fandom: All For the Game

never said that i didn't need you by incogneat_oh/ @incogneat-oh

"Aaron, are you ready to go? The emergency room queue isn’t getting any shorter.”

Aaron feels a thrill of nervousness pull unpleasantly in his belly. He doesn’t want to spend the night in a brightly-lit, overcrowded emergency room and have strangers prodding at him. He glances back at Andrew, who looks as disinterested as ever. He’s slouched over, hands in his lap and unmoving, face expressionless. He’s facing forward, but his eyes are on Aaron.

And Aaron’s halfway out the door when he swivels. Blurts, “You’ll come with me?"

--

Aaron and Andrew spend an evening hanging out in the emergency department.

One of my personal fave twinyard-centric fics

Fandom: The Historian

among some talk of you and me by Hokuto

Reader, I pray that you will have the strength to walk with me a little longer.

I remember when I 1st found this fic I was so shocked cuz I had no idea anyone had even written fic for this book, but this is literally a perfect little epilogue because it has everything I loved from the book (scholarly nerdiness, libraries, and Dracula)

Day 3: old favorites

Fandom: BBC Sherlock

The World on His Wrist by bendingsignpost/ @bendingsignpost

First, he is shot in Afghanistan. Second, he wakes to a phone call in Chelmsford, Essex. Third is pain, fourth is normalcy, fifth is agony and sixth is confusion. By the eighth, he's lost track. (John-centric AU)

An exceedingly old favorite of mine, like literally one of the 1st fics I ever read on ao3, but I just learned today that I had apparently never commented on it previously, which made it perfectly on theme for this day of the fest

Fandom: Haikyuu!!

When the Stars Threw Down Their Spears by umisabaku/ @umisabaku

"It’s hard to understand the hierarchy when a school like Nekoma exists, putting them all together like they belong, but by the time Kenma enters high school he understands the difference. Kuroo is a black panther, rare and precious; a large predator stronger than most any other foe.

Kenma is a calico housecat. His coloring is uncommon, but he is not special."

Shapeshifter!AU. Kenma struggles with a culture and the rules of courtship.

When I was in high school and at the peak of my sports anime phase, this was one of my fave fics, and so I loved revisiting it all these years later

Day 4: fandom curiosities

Fandom: Mysterious Lotus Casebook

Three Autumns by rageprufrock/ @rageprufrock

If Li Lianhua had known this mess would be waiting for him, he wouldn't have bothered to crawl out of his own grave.

The most I know of this show is what I’ve seen through a few gifs on my tumblr dashboard, but this fic made me fall so hard for the characters it’s not even funny

Fandom: Interview With the Vampire

hell and you by quensty/ @keithal

With respect to Daniel’s life, pain in the ass is spelled A-R-M-A-N-D.

I have read one (1) book and watched one (1) episode of the show, so I barely have any idea who these characters are, but holy shit this dynamic compels me

Day 5: rec a fic

Fandom: Mo Dao Zu Shi

a made thing by animediac/ @jaywalkers

Because at the end of it all, Wei Wuxian walks away with his happy ending and the rest of them are left with nothing.

(or, what comes after everything has gone)

Fantastic post-canon fic by one of the few writers that can make Chengsang convincing to me

Fandom: Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System

Life is (not) a Hallmark Movie by mellicindi/ @mellicindi

Shen Yuan isn't lonely. He's just overseas in a new city, trying to muddle his way through a business degree, and dealing with the side effects of his stupid intestines trying to kill him. So, maybe he sometimes watches ASMR to cope with his too-quiet apartment. Maybe he has a little bit of a parasocial-relationship-thing going on with one particular cooking ASMR channel. It's 2016, who doesn't? The point is, he's content with his quiet life.

And then Shang Qinghua strong-arms him into watching one Hallmark Christmas movie, and it all goes to hell.

Or: Shen Yuan is a Hallmark movie protagonist, Luo Binghe is a Lifetime movie protagonist, and somehow they make it work.

I sadly missed the read-along this year, but this fic has been on my tbr since pretty much as soon as I started reading fic for this fandom, so I got to finally read it and it’s really fantastic

-

As always, I’ll continue to comment on fics and show all you writers appreciation for your craft <3

Part 16: I'm Falling

After receiving a text that Iwaizumi was headed up to her apartment, she quickly unlocked the front door and returned to her spot on the larger of the sofas, sitting on the side closest to the windows and maneuvered her laptop to balance on the sofa arm as she got back to work. She had finished at the office around 5pm, only to come straight home and keep working from her laptop. With a meeting with directors and a company president coming up, she was too stressed to stop working while in the middle of a document she’d need to turn in soon. Plus everything was fresh in her mind right now and she didn't want to risk losing it.

When Iwaizumi made it to her apartment, the knocking at the door had Mochi running full speed to the entryway, meowing up a storm.

She called over her shoulder, “Come in!”

As he stepped into the apartment, Mochi attempted to climb his legs. So he stopped to give her the attention she demanded before removing his shoes and coat.

“Hey, sorry, I’m still working.” Her eyes didn't leave her laptop as she typed up her document.

“Still? This late?” Making his way over, he relaxed on the sofa next to her. “Did you get a late start or something?”

“No.. I just- I just wanted to get this finished up so I won't have to worry about it.” She was so engrossed in her work she wasn’t even blinking. She was feeling rushed even though there was no need to be. Though she had been that way all day.

He looked her up and down for a moment. “Okay. Don't overwork yourself though.” He peered over at the screen she was so focused on, words appearing as quickly as her fingers hit the keys. “Are you hungry?”

“N-No. Feel free to grab whatever if you are though.”

He frowned. When wasn’t she hungry? “I already ate..”

She paused, hovering fingers over the keyboard. Guilt possibly sinking in, but her chest had already felt heavy so maybe it wasn’t that. Or was it? “Sorry.. I shouldn’t be too much- too much longer. Promise.”

As she returned to typing, he moved so that he was laying down. Legs kicked over one end of the sofa, head resting on her free lap. He pulled his phone out and held it in front of his face to occupy himself in the meantime.

The clicking of keys, rain hitting the wall of windows, the not-so-quiet evening was comfortable even while they each did their own thing. At least minus her stressed state. Occasionally, she’d idly reach down and play with his hair in an attempt to calm her nerves, but also because she didn't want to feel like she was completely ignoring him. Plus, his hair was surprisingly soft.

Her attention was pulled from the screen when she felt a sudden jerk, making her heart race in surprise before registering that he was catching his phone before it could hit him. He briefly brought the phone away from his face and closed his eyes, mumbling, “If you keep doing that, I’ll fall asleep.”

She chuckled, fingers still threaded through his hair. “Sure ya weren’t just asleep for a second?”

He mumbled something incoherent as he brought his attention to his phone once more.

She went back to typing again, this time leaving his hair alone and focusing on getting this done for the night so they can enjoy their evening. But she doesn't feel quite right. Message notifications buzz on her silenced phone, making her head rush further. So she ignores them in favor of finishing her last couple of lines to fix.

Something didn't feel rightthough.. She knew this feeling, but it hadn't been around in quite some time. She had been doing so good, so why does she feel like she's about to suffocate? No, she knows. She's been ignoring the signs all day, but now she's not alone. Can she get away from Iwaizumi without alarming him? She just wants to be alone right now, like she always does when stricken with sudden panic like this. Having an episode in front of someone else sounds like a nightmare to her; to be that vulnerable when not off on her own.

She carefully moved her laptop to the end table on her right, trying her best to conceal any shakiness in her arms. With a quick glance to Iwaizumi she saw that his phone still had his attention and attempted to use his distraction in her favor. Grabbing her empty glass from earlier, she slipped away and walked to the kitchen, but instead of refilling the glass, she quietly paced the kitchen. Sometimes just walking around would help.

But apparently not tonight. Her heart rate still crept higher and she had to work to control her breathing. Giving in to the thought that there was no use in fighting it, she sat the glass on the counter and quickly made her way through the living space to her master bath without a sound, hoping not to alert her friend.

**Warning: Panic attack described below. If this may be bothersome or triggering, please skip to the next horizontal line where “After cleaning herself up she walked through her bedroom” follows.**

After she closed herself in the bathroom, falling to the tile floor, letting her back hit the sink, catching her feet as they slid on the floor. Fingers gripped thighs hard enough to leave marks, but let go just to run up and down her skin before gripping hard again. Vision blurred with tears that have yet to fall, and air caught in her throat before her breathing became rapid and loud until she began to gasp for air.

Then she started to sob there on the tile floor, panicking and overwhelmed. The tile may have been cold, but she couldn't feel it. She couldn’t hear anything other than her staggered breaths that she tried so desperately to slow down. Short whines escaped her throat here and there, she was just so lost in her thoughts and emotions. Logic telling her to correct her breathing, to ground herself, that everything was fine, but the feeling of overwhelming panic drowned out logic to the point it couldn’t be acted on even though she kept trying to call it forward. She knew she was fine, she knew there was no need for this, but there she was on the floor of her master bathroom hiding away. A habit she got into years ago as she would rather deal with this alone.

She caught sight of the door opening in her peripheral, making her whip her head in the direction of where Iwaizumi stared in shock, but she couldn’t concentrate when every part of her mind screamed for him to go away.

But she doesn't want him to go away.

But she doesn't want to be a bother.

Suddenly, he was kneeled on the floor beside her, carefully reaching out to cup her face, wiping away tears as they poured from her eyes. But panic said to run away, but she didn't want to. It said danger, but she knew he was safe.

He was talking, but she couldn't hear him pass the ringing in her ears and raw emotion clawing at her mind. She blinked and she's in his lap; he pulled her there, wrapping her in his arms and pressing her head to his chest. She sat tense in his arms sobbing uncontrollably while he placed soft kisses on her head and spoke to her, but the words were too muffled to make out.

But with an ear pressed to his chest, his heartbeat wasn’t so clouded. With the new sound to help distract from the screaming in her head, logic reappeared just enough to direct her eyes to individual objects until she could name what they were. She could see even through the tears as they fell, and she could smell that sage, orange, and black pepper on the man she'd grown close to.

And she could hear his heart beat fast as he watched her breakdown. She could hear his mummers of affection, attempts of soothing. She could feel the heat from his body, and his arms around her and his head against hers. And her senses are back alive and it’s overwhelming.

So she pulled herself from his hold to sit on the cold tile that she could now feel. Hands pressed flat against the little squares beneath her. She took deep breaths over and over, looking down at the tiles and her hands, then up to Iwaizumi who was obviously trying to control his expression.

Because she freaked him out, right? She scared him? She held his stare and continued her deliberate breaths, deeper and longer until she no longer felt like she was suffocating.

**If you skipped the panic scene, you can start again here.**

She let out a weak, “I’m sorry.”

But he furrowed his brows and kept speaking softly, just as he has done since he let himself in the bathroom looking for his friend who took off running seemingly out of nowhere. “No no no.. Hey..” He slowly reached over and cupped her face once more, brushing tear soaked cheeks under his thumbs. “It’s okay, you’re okay.. Yeah?”

She nodded hard, voice caught in her throat when she tried to speak again. So she closed her eyes and waved her hands hoping to signal that she just needed a moment, and she felt his hands slip away.

Sounds of careful footsteps, a cabinet door squeaking, running water. She focused on her hearing and breathing, feeling her heart slow down, until she felt him beside her once more, and a warm damp cloth against her cheeks. She opened her eyes to him wiping her cheeks clean with worry in his eyes. “I don’t know what happened.. but you're okay, okay? You don't have to talk.” He dropped the cloth to the side when he was done with it and brushed a hand through her hair. “If I did anything-“

She shook her head to let him know that he didn't cause this.

“Okay.. but if I did, please let me know. I’d never mean to hurt you.” He held her face again and rested his head on hers.

She reached up and held his wrists. “Sorry, I worried you..”

He whispered to her, letting her know she didn't need to apologize followed by a string of affirmations.

“Wasn’t you. I don't know what it was. I just felt- Felt like a cornered animal. Scared, stuck.. but not because of you.” Tears started to well up again and he hushed her, wiping her eyes. “I’m fine now.”

“You just started to cry again," he stated point blank.

“I’m just- It’s fine. I’m fine. I’m okay.” She brought hands up to cover her face.

“You are okay.” He brushed stray hairs back. “Do you think you can eat?”

She shook her head ‘no’.

“Okay.. What about some tea or water?”

“Hmm. Tea.”

“Do you have any? What kind do you want?”

“Have some in the kitchen. Don't care what,” she leaned forward and pulled him into a hug, “Please stay..”

He rubbed soothing circles on her back. “What about your tea?”

She pushed away from him and looked into his somber eyes with her glassy ones, “That’s not what I meant.”

He held her gaze, “Yeah, of course. As long as that’s what you want. I’ll stay.”

She nodded softly before standing, gripping her shirt hem. “Still staying tonight then?”

“Yeah,” he stood as well, shoving hands in the pockets of his jeans. “I’ll go get your tea started.”

“M’kay,” she waved away from herself, “Just give me a minute.”

“Of course,” he stepped out of the room, pulling the door closed behind him to give her some privacy.

After cleaning herself up she walked through her bedroom and peeked out the doorway into the living space. “Iwaizumi?”

“Yeah?” She could hear his voice come from the kitchen.

“Can you just come back here when you’re ready?”

He stepped around the kitchen just long enough to ask if she still wanted tea and that he would be right there.

She turned back to her room and went to her smaller closet that she's mostly dedicated to blankets, pillows, and other bedding items. Pulling out a large fluffy blanket, the same one she gave him the first time he stayed over, and added it to the blankets already on her bed.

Iwaizumi was walking in with her tea and some biscuits when she was done. She grabbed the tea and snack, thanking him, and went to sit on her bed and he joined her. “I know you didn't want anything, but I thought you should probably try to eat something,” he spoke calmly and quietly.

“I wanted to thank you again.” She inhaled the steam from her tea, raspberry and pomegranate dancing in her nose. “I don't normally do that when people are around.. Which I think might have made it worse at first - the unexpected added to the whole thing. But you were- I haven’t had the option of someone comforting me.. with that sort of thing.”

She drank her tea while he spoke, “Well. I’m glad I could be there for you. Though I wish I could have done more.”

“Nah,” she shook her head and nibbled a biscuit. “It can’t be helped. Pretty sure at that point it's up to how I work through it.”

He gave her that look. The one that says he wanted to ask something but refrained.

“Any chance I can get you to stay in here and cuddle?”

“Do you think I’d tell you no?” He smiled softly. The first smile she saw on him since she ran off to the master bath.

She perked at that and put her tea and biscuits on the nightstand, hoping Mochi wouldn’t get into it. “Oh. I need to go feed Mochi.”

He hummed. “I may have already fed her. Wasn’t sure if you planned on coming out of here tonight, so. Hope that’s fine.”

“Nah. Thank you, actually.” She grabbed his arm, dragging him with her to the middle of the large bed. They fell back into the soft blankets. With her curled against his side, he wrapped an arm around her, gently stroking her back. As her head rested on his chest, her breathing soon matched his and she relaxed. In the silence together, they soon drifted asleep.

On the first day Oikawa met Iwaizumi, Iwaizumi shoved him in the mud, and they’ve been best friends ever since.

It happens like this: Oikawa’s mother says it’s time for him to have practice with forming a pack. “You’re very special, Tooru, and it’s important that you know that,” she says. It’s the same thing she’s been saying all of Oikawa’s young life. “Wolves are so, so rare in Japan these days. Extinct in the wild, and there are fewer families each generation.” She sighs. Oikawa is impatient throughout this lecture, which he’s heard a thousand times already, because he’s very interested in forming a pack.

“So of course it’s only natural to mix with other canines, but sadly in this region that means dogs. Tooru, this is very important, you must remember that you are not the same as them. Even if they look similar, they are not your equals. You are above them in every way.”

*

Wolves are social animals, and so people who shapeshift into wolves require a lot of social activities. That’s why Oikawa’s mother brings him to the park to play with other children, with the understanding that from now on he’s going to be meeting with a lot of dogshifters.

What Oikawa only learns later is that these children have all been told by their mothers that the very special wolf shapeshifter will be playing with them today, and that they must defer to him in all things. 

He’s never met a lot of other kids before. (His older sister, Oikawa strongly feels, does not count. Largely because she is so much older than him. But also because she’s the worst.) But he’s watched television, and he has a certain idea of what having friends would be like. 

It doesn’t take him long to feel very disappointed. 

The children all stare at him. He says, “let’s play on the swings” so they play on the swings. He says, “let’s play tag” so they play tag. After a while, he realizes they’re just doing everything he tells them to, and it makes him mad.

He absolutely hates how they’re obeying everything he says, and because he’s mad, he decides to see how far it will go. “Bring me a juice box,” Oikawa says, and someone brings him juice. “Fan me,” he says, so one of them fans him. He knows it’s making them mad, but they’re not doing anything about it, so it just makes him even more mad. “That’s a nice ball,” he says to one particularly scrawny kid who is shaking. “Give it to me.”

The kid looks like he’s going to burst out into tears, (which still just makes Oikawa all the more angry) when he starts to hand over the ball. 

At that point, a great force pushes him into the mud.

“You’re so annoying! He doesn’t have to give you his ball! You moron, we’re being nice to you, so you should be nice back.” 

Oikawa blinks up at the spiky haired kid who has shoved him the mud. The other kids all give a collective gasp, as they stare at the two of them in horror. 

Then Oikawa starts to laugh. The others don’t seem to know what to do with that, but the spiky haired kid relaxes a fraction. “Finally,” Oikawa says. “I was going to start demanding people strip naked if no one said anything. Help me up?” He bats his eyelashes and says, “Please?”

“You’re going to be the worst, aren’t you?” the kid scowls, but he offers an arm to Oikawa anyway.

“No, I’m the best, we’re going to be best friends, you’ll see,” Oikawa grins widely.

A/N: Woo I have been thinking about my Haikyuu!Shapeshifters AU for a long time now and how I’ve always wanted to write the IwaOI story in this universe, so here’s the start of it! Not sure if I’ll do the whole thing on tumblr, but I sure would like to finish it at some point.
