Idk if anyone has asked this before on tumblr or if you made a post about it, but what are your favorite hq fics? (Or fics that stuck with you)
MY FAVORITE TOPIC* !!!! so i have a #fic rec tag that i collect fics in like a dragon hoarding gold, but here are some special favorites from my ao3 bookmarks**! sorted by ship/theme, but otherwise not in any particular order (under the cut bc this got WAY too long). if you've already read all these you should ask for more recs. i have them. i have so many.
*my other favorite topic is talking about MY fics. here is a link to my ao3. shameless self promo and all that <3
**i read a, um, concerning amount of iwaoi, so this is an iwaoi heavy list. sorry but also not really because there's a LOT of good fics abt them.
getting together fics <333333
my heart is where it's always been by foreverautumn (iwaoi, 21113 words)
Iwaizumi knows he shouldn’t care who Oikawa might have feelings for, but within the span of three days, it’s somehow the only thing he can think about.
State of Grace by lahdolphin (kuroshou, 6985 words)
Kuroo's relationship with Daishou had never been simple. Kissing him didn't make up for the many years Kuroo spent agonizing over him, but it was a very good start.
all that i see by princessofthebugs (iwaoi, 649 words)
Iwaizumi confesses to him on his birthday, as he sits on his floor, shredding paper into tiny bits. "I used to like you."
the strange music of your heart by caniculeo (bokuaka, 18446 words)
in which akaashi falls for bokuto first.
i was tired and you were standing in the best light by keishn (iwaoi, 7148 words)
It's the time of year that the sun starts setting when they get out of practice. Looking at Oikawa with the pink-orange light reflected in his eyes and shining off his hair is not something Hajime thinks he can survive.
open doors and plastic stars by ikeru (iwaoi, 22708 words)
Loving Oikawa has never been exclusive to Iwaizumi—not when Oikawa is a magnet, an incandescent star that pulls and pulls until you can’t help but watch him, love him. It shouldn’t have come as a surprise, but his heart breaks all the same.
life is chances that are taken by bohemianraspberries (iwaoi, 3970 words)
He isn’t afraid that Oikawa won’t want to be his friend anymore, because neither of them are like that and besides, he’s fairly sure by now that Oikawa likes boys too – it’s the fear that nothing will change. He might tell Oikawa that he thinks he’s not a hundred per cent straight, Oikawa might tell him the same, and they might continue to stay best friends forever, and Iwaizumi isn’t so sure that’s all he wants anymore. Because he’s pretty certain that it’s not just boys he’s into – it’s Oikawa.
the rest of your life by Queen_Dragon_Lightning_Castle (iwaoi, 2983 words)
When Hanamaki asks him what type of girl he’d go for, Hajime shrugs. ”Dunno. As long as she’s chill.” Thereupon, Tooru tries too hard when he doesn't need to try at all.
Underneath the Mistletoe by orphan_account (kuroken, 3811 words)
While Kenma and Kuroo are out together to see the local Christmas lights, they find a special display for taking festive pictures. If only they had paid closer attention to all of the decorations...
shut up (make me) by love_yourself_1358 (iwaoi, 11557 words)
alternatively: how Oikawa is the most oblivious person ever. But that's okay. Iwaizumi will still be his happy ending.
canon-to-me character studies
An Opponent Is Announced by agletbaby (genfic, 13141 words)
In which Sakusa is trying to prepare for the Olympics, but Oikawa Tooru's backstory keeps getting in the way.
don't talk to me or any of my fourteen children ever again by meregalaxiesandgods (ukai & karasuno vbc, 39963 words)
Ukai Keishin was not—and had no interest in becoming—a father. He’d somehow become responsible for fourteen children regardless.
most people never even get a single high school rival by sulfate (iwaoi, 5217 words)
Team Argentina gets to know Iwaizumi Hajime (27) Athletic Trainer.
Through a Mother's Eyes by aunnoo (iwaoi, 2427 words)
You might've only given birth to one, but you get to watch two grow. They are your boys. (If there's anything you'd wish upon them, it'd be happiness.)
silver fork by ratboyrussell (seijoh genfic, 2774 words)
Teammates, friends, family: those who help out when needed.
AUs
The Whole Of The Moon by IetjeSiobhan (kuroken, 9253 words)
Tetsurou has never thought about it before, but right now, he is absolutely and thoroughly terrified. Because he’s so, so in love, and he’s always known that Kenma is it for him, but what if he’s not it for Kenma?
just hear me out by loveclouds (iwaoi, 7679 words)
Iwaizumi's beeper has been going off for Oikawa since they've been kids. Oikawa's has only ever been silent.
other favorites
"Blankets" - Feb 2020 Prompts by hightopboots (kuroshou, 1472 words)
There's a blizzard, Kuroo and Daishou are stuck in a cabin together.
bad days and stomach pains by kittykawas (iwaizuumi & matsukawa genfic, 3705 words)
Iwaizumi isn’t one for dramatics, generally. He tends to be straight forward and pragmatic and he doesn’t like to catastrophize - not when Oikawa is right there catastrophizing enough for a small country - but sometimes, life gets the better of him. He has bad days. And today is a terrible, horrible, fucking bullshit day.
Comfortable by queerjab (bokuroo, 3108 words)
“Dude,” Kuroo covered his eyes with one hand, feeling how red his face was getting. “I promise you cannot help with this.” “Well how would I know? You won’t tell me!” “I started my fucking period!” Kuroo exclaimed, instantly regretting the admission. “Fuck,” he mumbled, keeping his eyes covered to avoid any further embarrassment. He’d never wanted so badly to sink into the floor. “Oh,” Bokuto breathed, and Kuroo considered slapping him. “Is that all?”
can we always be this close (forever and ever?) by lunarumbra (sakuatsu/osasuna, 3128 words)
Or: Sakusa visits Onigiri Miya one night to talk about weddings and rings.
The years shall run like rabbits by ladyoflalaland (ushiten, 7292 words)
Or, Ushijima Akemi watches her son’s relationship with Tendou change over the years and finds herself changing with it.
