#haikyuu fic recs

LIVE

aka fics i cried over.

hey lads. it’s been a while. so i return with sad stuff! that says a lot about my mental state probably. oh i started uni and it’s been awful. cold pizza is shockingly good. anyway. these are all gonna be angst with a happy ending cause i’m weak and don’t like characters to be sad forever. there’s gotta be a resolution. or maybe some sickly sweet fluff. it’ll be a fun surprise. just read the tags.

sad bois away!

SakuAtsu

The Story of Us by thesweetestnerd

a classic, i know. if you’ve been around for a while you’ve probably at least heard of this one. or i’m biased. anyway it’s a great read. i’ve reread it like five times and i cry every time. i bet you two crisp high fives you’ll cry too. 

Do I dare disturb the universe? by han_ying

have you ever wondered what a different choice would make your life like? have you ever been offered a cookie by a small orange man? no? well kiyoomi gives it a go. take a hard look at your life after this one. 

Quarantine conversations by lettersinpetals

hey covid coping mechanism! how about you incorporate realism! you’d think spending all day every day with someone you love would be heaven yeah? well. sometimes people are emotionally constipated. i’m looking at you kiyoomi. this is a call out post. 

When Atsumu Thinks About Love by GlitchyCookie

stress stress stress and feeling left behind. all things weddings bring. dances are also things that happen at weddings. so do kisses. took my heart out and put it in a bag with broken glass. at least it was polished at the end. 

a soft place to call home (series) by yee_haw23

it’s so funny to me someone called yee_haw23 can deliver such and emotionally devastating series of fics. the one’s about loss and loneliness really get me can you tell. but yeah. being alone is never fun especially when it’s rubbed in your face. 

Bound by internetpistol 

not a bondage fic. shockingly. it is about being bound to someone and something though. and about fate. how something is bound to happen based on your decisions. 

IwaOi

Ruin the Friendship by thesweetestnerd

some things were made to be messed up. like finger paint, tissues, and socks after a long day. what’s important to know is that messing something up is not the end of it, but a change of its’ shape. 

Desperado by Verbrennung

hey kid you wanna read a heist au? what about a getting back together fic? yeah? yeah i got you. crime and love what a perfect combination. honestly, this is one of my personal favourites like ever. i cannot recommend this one enough. i may have also made a playlist inspired by it and if anyone wants it simply ask. 

please disregard my house of cards (built from mistakes) by rekamohcs

softish. gratuitous plant imagery. shenanigans and tomfoolery. and it’s a university au. what more could you ask for. this fic gets a big fuzzy hug from me. and it made me feel things that weren’t necessarily sadness but made me cry nonetheless.

AsaNoya

Vienna Waits For You by Pouler (poulerslashes)

emotionally destroyed me. do not read if you’re not looking to be sad for a few days. or a few hours. depends on how fast you read but the aftermath is certainly long. loss is hard, but sometimes things aren’t as far as you’d think.

BokuAka

Behind Bricks by DeathBelle

it’s been around for a while but still gets me. prostitute au. sometimes plans get changed, for better or for worse. and sometimes things simply fall into place. 

Rules by ConesOfDunshire

also a fan favourite. it’s me i’m fan. i just cannot get over positive depictions of autism. like. it’s not that hard but they went off in this one. do i cry? yeah. sometimes i remember this and go back and read a section of it. it’s not just a fic it’s an investment.

the strange music of your heart by caniculeo

someone’s gotta fall first. who better than akaashi? bokuto is unsure. they work it out. i would like to pack this fic a lunch, give it a little kiss on the forehead, and send it off to school. 

DaiSuga

Black and Blue by MTrash (Makaria)

so first things first this fic has references to abuse so note that down. secondly, everyone lives in the same building but it’s a very gay building. thirdly, yeah i cried reading it sue me. this is my sad fic rec list.

Just Another by Mooifyourecows

so moo is actually a favourite of mine, and if you’re in the market for daisuga content, they have a lot. i love me a good unrequited-love-but-not-actually-it-just-took-some-figuring-out and also emotional constipation breakthrough fic. 

Misery’s Company by Mooifyourecows

i wasn’t lying about loving their content. so take another. but this one has a clever plan that may or may not work. sometimes relationships don’t work and sometimes you gotta fuck with everything to get everything right. 

i for sure have more but i don’t wanna put everything on one lest i overwhelm you. i realize some of the descriptions/reviews sound like tarot/oracle card meanings and i have nothing to say to that. i wrote this whole shebang in one go where the other ones can take days to months. maybe i’m procrastinating studying for exams. i hope you enjoy reading them as much as i did. and feel free to request more. i’ll get around to it eventually. 

go forth and read my dears. 

as requested!

IwaOi

bad coffee and lemon bars by abillionstars

where iwa works at karasuno’s coffe + bakery and oikawa has horrific taste in drinks. short n sweet.

catch it don’t curve it by meruemsthighs

oikawa has way too much confidence but iwa delivers. 

I Know When You’re Around (’Cause I Know the Sound of Your Heart) by Verbrennug

oikawa has no chill, daichi is there, and iwa is a mysterious stranger. 

BokuAka

tea-stained polaroids by dalyeau

literally so cute. i took this opportunity to reread it. akaashi is a photography student and bo works at the coffee shop. 12/10 would recommend.

he plays bass by akaashmeoutside

notreally a coffee shop au, but they do technically meet at one. it’s more of a band au, and a really fricken good one at that. highly recommend. 

SakuAtsu

the way to a man’s heart is through his gluten-intolerant stomach by vaporstretch

sakusa can’t eat gluten and atsumu has something to prove. prickly bastards unite. 

you make my heart burn by myhopeisjhope

get ready for some snark! gotta love some good banter and insults. 

i keep a window for you, it’s always open by volchitsae

sakusa is a barista by day, asmr youtuber by night. atsumu has feelings. there’s a part 2 from sakusa’s pov too!

you would not believe how many sakuatsu fics i’ve read over quarantine. it is unreasonable. like it’s in the 100s. where did my time go, you ask? this. this is where. i have all-consuming sakuatsu brainrot. no excuses, only lots of fic recommendations. 

once again, all fics are from ao3. also, if you know the author’s blog, feel free to link it / tag them. also because my summaries are more like reviews, remember to check the tags!

alright lads, here we go (again)!

i’ll do anything you say (if you say it with your hands)by liliapocolypse

touch is stressful for omi. touch is comforting for tsumu. writing letters and messages is soothing. until one day it’s everything. i like this one a lot. short n sweet. 

Stick With You by lettersinpetals

a classic, you say? absolutely. slow burn, you ask? of course. omi n tsumu are stuck on an island in the pandemic. what emotions will happen. it’s long but very worth the read. 

Pas De Deux by hatsuna 

i have. no words. except: it’s wonderful. omi as a dancer? chef’s kiss. the whole thing just makes sense and fits perfectly. good sakuatsu fic for the soul. honestly, one of my favourites, i’ve reread it so many times. 

i look for you when i’m lost (so i don’t go insane) by martialartist816

shared quarantine quarters ft. sakusa’s sexuality crisis. is it a bromance or are they taking the bro part out. heh.

Dynamics of the Heart by TwilaFrost

first off, it’s an a/b/o fic, so expect the gratuitous a/b/o tropes. second off, it’s really good. third off, atsumu has medical problems. even if you’re not an omgeaverse fan it’s pretty good. and gives shockingly detailed descriptions of the hormone and anatomy bits? like it wasn’t what i came for but it was appreciated. good read.

but we’re not, like, in love by goshkiki

did someone say denial and emotional constipation? omi did. that’s it, that’s the fic. they are so fucking stupid i love them. 

Play Among the Stars by buttonstuck

have you heard of this one yet? yeah probably. it’s really fucking good though. like so good. mmmmm i love me a fic with a good soundtrack and fanart. slow burn: check. tsumu’s an idiot: check. omi is emotionally constipated: check. well-planned au: check. 

The Story of Usby thesweetestnerd

hurt/comfort to the max, baby. tsumu’s spent the last year loving omi in secret. when an accident takes away omi’s memories, atsumu’s left holding the pieces of something no one knows about. i’m not gonna spoil the ending. did i cry? maybe. you’ll never know.

the 28 postcards you left me by wheelspokes

post-break up fic and angst with a happy ending. you can have the best of both worlds. animal crossing letters have never sounded better.

Unapologetic Favoritism by Hey_MK

fluff. just fluff. miya is a good s.o. sakusa is touch starved. now kiss!

this has been the second instalment of my fic recs for the dearest sakuatsu. a long time coming! tbh there’ll probably be another one. do with this what you will! happy reading dears. 

p.s.: i still do take requests if someone wants a specific trope or something. don’t be shy!
