masterlist

As most things with Tumblr, I got peer pressured into this, too. So: here's a list of all of the fics I've written on AO3 (surviving), along with my personal comments on them, because Why Not.

+ I'll be editing/reblogging this whenever I upload stuff, since I have WIPs for fandom events.

SPOILERS PRESENT!!!! TREAD WITH CAUTION!!!

HAIKYUU!!

If Happy is Him, I'm Happy for You - 11.5k words, SakuAtsu and AtsuHina (endgame), hanahaki AU. Warning: Major Character Death and gore. Rated M Kiyoomi looks at Atsumu like he had hung the stars and painted the moon, but Atsumu loves Shoyo with an all-consuming passion. Kiyoomi knows his days are numbered, knows he doesn't stand a chance with Atsumu. He decides he'll love Atsumu till the day his heart stills. I had no reason to write this except to project the pain of unrequited love. I like it, I think it turned out well. It made people cry, which is always a win in my books (sorry). It also has a slight happy ending with a bonus chapter from Atsumu's POV. Fair warning, there is a lot of vomiting and blood and sickness, so please tread with caution. ---

It's All Good Now - 17.3k words, DaiSuga, canon compliant, they're married <3 Warning: Graphic Depictions of Violence. Rated M “Actually, Sugawara-san, I have good news. We found Daichi-san,” the man says. Koushi feels his blood run cold. “Is he alive?” The moment of silence on the other line makes Koushi’s heart rip itself in half, muscles tearing and blood spurting in his chest. “…Barely.” His heart stitches itself together again. Daichi has a freak accident. I loved writing this because it was full of action and also depicted a struggling marriage and how PTSD affects both the person and the people around them (a trope I would die for). This fic does have a good dose of gore considering Daichi goes missing in a cave for a while. I wrote this for a cousin's birthday, actually. It has a really sweet ending! ---

Stupidity as a Love Language - 2.5k words, KageHina, canon compliant, 4+1 Things Rated Gen 4 times Kageyama and Hinata are stupid together, and the one time they're smart. It's queerplatonic-ambiguously-romantic-if-they-weren't-so-dumb KageHina!!! I love them!!!! SO much!!!!! Your HONOUR, I LOVE THEM, SAVE ME, PLEA- ---

It's You - 410k words (yes, you read that right), SakuAtsu + SunaOsa + IwaOi + KuroKen (QPR) + wlw/nblw OCs, very experimental, college AU gone rogue. Warning: Graphic Depictions of Violence Rated M The doctor’s curled up on a chair, knees to his chest and head tucked in the valley between. His doctor’s coat is wrapped around him, and Kiyoomi politely taps his shoulder. “Uh, hey?” “Hm,” the boy replies, groaning. “Wha’s up?” He stretches, blinking once, rather dumbly, at Kiyoomi – and it clicks. “Y-You-,” Kiyoomi begins, in horror. “Oh my god,” the doctor pales. “Ye’re the guy with the- with the neon green hammer, aren’ ya?” Ah. My Roman Empire - the 100 chapter SakuAtsu fic (NOW BEING TURNED INTO AN ORIGINAL!!! I WILL SHAMELESSLY PLUG THIS WHEREVER I GO NOW!!!) that blew up, by my standards, on AO3. I am really proud of this one, considering it spans like, 40 years and goes into some pretty crazy stuff (TW: EVERYTHING) - Kiyoomi's mysophobia, the struggles of being a doctor, religious trauma, losing a parent, marriage, losing a child, nearly destroying a marriage, raising a child, abuse, suicidality, eating disorders and some more. I'm fond of it, to say the least. I think this was the fic where I really found my style, too, so that's a bonus. And yes, it's a 100 chapters. Over 5 fucking manga panels. I know. I know. ---

Your Lips, My Lips, Catalyst - 9k words, BoKuroo, canon compliant, romcom Rated T for swearing You are Bokuto Koutarou. You fucking suck at Chemistry. You are also best friends with a Chemistry genius (who you are helplessly, painfully far gone for, but you're pretty sure that bit's a secret.) What happens when the two combine and the cat's let out of the bag? Spoiler - the cat falls right into your lap. Kuroo teaches Bokuto chemistry through volleyball metaphors. Bokuto has the stupidest biggest most-embarrassing teenage boy crush on Kuroo. Chaotic as hell, with a slight dose of angst (can you tell it's my forte) during the Nationals arc after Nekoma v. Karasuno. I also tweaked a bit so that Fukurodani won nationals...for the plot... ANYWAY. There's a carnival date. And also a good representation of bros-to-hoes (/aff). ---

A House is Not a Home - 18.4k words, SakuAtsu (kind of?), AU, trans man Atsumu Rated T With rough floors covered in layers of dust and tattered doors falling off their hinges, Miya Atsumu is a house that is falling apart from the inside. There is a boy who has pale skin and obsidian curls, and he lays a rug outside his Atsumu's front door and waits. Miya Atsumu is a house. Sakusa Kiyoomi is the man who makes him a home. Alternative title - "hey man, what if I projected all my lore and mental illness onto this poor character that I relate to for roughly 18,000 words, as if doing that for 410k words wasn't enOUGH-" No, but seriously, that's all it is. Atsumu is a trans dude in a conservative household, he has SERIOUS mental illness (namely bipolar 2 and OCD), and ends up conjuring Sakusa as a coping mechanism/imaginary friend. My friends love this one. I do too.

---

When the Seasons Change - 9.5k words, SakuAtsu, Miya twins banter!, canon compliant, teen LDR Rated T Miya Atsumu is a hurricane of existential angst, awkward passion and unbridled joy. Sakusa Kiyoomi is his unwitting, yet wholly compliant, partner. As Atsumu navigates through his last two years of high school, while in love in a way that society wouldn't accept, alongside the changes of growing up, in and out, he asks for a single thing: To be stood by, even when the seasons change. My prodigal return to Haikyuu!! fandom and fanfiction after 1.5 years away. Once again, all I do is project about being queer in a conservative country, being a stupid teenager and being whipped and hating it. References to Kiyoomi's hypermobility and Atsumu's big fat mouth. It's also set between Atsumu and Sakusa's 2nd and 3rd years (All-Japan camp, Nationals, 3rd year) so I got creative liberty. I love this fic. It's my personal favourite.

Darling, Won't You Take Me Home? - 6.3k words, BokuAkaKuroKen, written for the Haikyuu!! Gotcha for Gaza, Superhero AU Warning: Mild Violence and Injury Rated T

One thing Kuroo Tetsurou was not expecting to encounter on a “simple, quick mission” was a knife in his side. But then again, he wasn’t exactly expecting to be a catboy vigilante, either, so he probably should get used to unprecedented occurrences at this point.

First fanfiction after another year of break. This was written based on a fun prompt involving superheroes Kuroo and Bokuto, doctor Akaashi and dispatcher Kenma, for the Haikyuu!! G4G. I had a lot of fun writing BokuAkaKuroKen being the cutest little polycule ever, and also highlighting individual pairing dynamics that I felt were underrated (cough. BokuKen. hack.). Angst with a happy ending and LOTS of hurt/comfort.

---

Tsunageru | つなげる - 10.6k, KuroKen, KageHina, written for the Haikyuu!! Gotcha for Gaza, Noragami AU Warning: Mild Violence and body horror (canon-typical) Rated T

Kuroo, a God of connection, has roamed the planes without a regalia for years, refusing to take one. However, when he meets the loose spirit of a young boy, he feels inexplicably drawn to it. Naming the vessel Kenma, Kuroo learns of devotion, divinity, and the truth behind what it means to connect.

My second fic for the HQ!! G4G. I absolutely love Noragami and this fic was tons of fun to write, minus breaking my head over on'yomi and kun'yomi readings of kanji for the LoreTM. It also made me remember how much I truly adore KuroKen, particularly the flavour where they're Soft For Each Other. I fear I have fallen into the KuroKen soup.

Seven Devils All Around - updating, TsukkiYama, KageHina, UshiTen, SakuAtsu, BokuAka, KuroKen, IwaOi, written for the Haikyuu!! Gotcha for Gaza, Genshin Impact AU Rated T

The teleport waypoints go haywire, random domains keep cropping up and leylines start spewing abyss creatures by the second. When Hitoka Yachi goes missing, her childhood friends set off to bring her back. Cue a whirlwind of elements, lore drop after lore drop, 10 other strangers, and a wild ride across Teyvat.

Third fic for the HQ!! G4G. I'm having so much fun with this, even if I'm slow to update. More thoughts when it's done, though~

plucking petals - 1.9k words, SakuAtsu (implied), canon-compliant Warning: OCD, skin-picking Rated T

Pick. Pick. Pick. Pick. Sakusa Kiyoomi, on fancy names for mundane activities, and plucking petals out of himself.

First fic of 2025, written in One day and during a weird mental break. Writing is my catharsis, I think. This explores skinpicking (dermatillomania), and how it alters one's relationship with themselves, their appearance, and society, through Sakusa's lens. Atsumu's honestly just here for the hell of it, but he plays a Role. Promise.

---

Romantic Dreams - 4.4k words, SakuAtsu, Kuroken, written as part of Love Sucks: A Haikyuu!! and One Piece Valentines' Day Exchange, fake dating AU Rated E Blowjobs, semi-public sex

Kuroo invites Atsumu on a double date, and Atsumu is about as smart as a broken light bulb, so he decides to ask his coworker, Kiyoomi to be his fake boyfriend. There are no problems there. Except, well, you know, the fact that he's got a big, fat, ugly crush on Sakusa Kiyoomi, asshole extraordinaire. But that’s fine, right? They’re just friends, and it’s only three hours, and surely nothing will happen out of it. …Right?

First event fic (not Gotchas ^^) and also my first surviving NSFW work. Everyone clap and cheer. This was an absolute BLAST to write, I loved writing SakuAtsu's banter and stupidity and dynamic, and also making KuroKen suffer on that double date as a result. I was really glad I got such a silly and fun prompt (and the fic I got in the exchange was AMAZING too <3)!

---

on his tongue, he said (death or love, tonight) - 1.8k words, BokuKen-focused, BokuAkaKuroKen, written for Haikyuu!! Rarepair Week (NSFW Edition) Rated E Coming untouched, intracrural sex

Koutarou has sensitive thighs. Kenma likes to watch him squirm.

That's it. That's the fic. Very self-indulgent, and fuelled half by my dear friend Jordan and I's conversations revolving around dom!Kenma. I love BokuAkaKuroKen. I need to put them in a blender!

GIVEN

It Feels Different When You're With Me - 4.5k words, UenoMafu, written for the Given Gotcha for Gaza, Soulmate AU Warning: Description of sucicide Rated T

Of late, there exists a certain subspecies of people called Homo sapien connexaanimarum – or ‘soulmates’, outside scientific communities. Soulmates can find each other in a multitude of ways. This scientific paper provides the results from a wide data set, collected through blind surveys and interviews of over 10,000 soulmates.

or, 5 times the universe tries to tell Mafuyu and Ritsuka that they're soulmates, and the 1 time they listen.

First ever fanfiction for Given, despite being a fan for 4 years as of posting it. This was written based on a prompt asking for a soulmate AU. I loved writing about Uenoyama's Council of Uenoyamas and using all kinds of goofy soulmate tropes. It isn't a fic by me without a dash of angst, which was obviously there too, but it's a solid 70% crack and fluff.

---

JUJUTSU KAISEN

You're the Greatest Thing We've Lost - 4.8k words, implied SatoSugu, ItaFushi, and YuutaMaki, spoilers for JJK271, post-canon Rated Gen

In memoriam, Gojo Satoru.

Gege didn't give Gojo a funeral, so I did. This is my first ever JJK fic, and hopefully isn't my last. I loved writing about Gojo's platonic/familial relationships with Shoko, Yuuta, Yuuji, Megumi, and Nobara, and researching about Japanese traditions for funerals. I love angst. Can you tell?

---

ALIENSTAGE

teachmehow - 1.6k words, HyuLuka, spoilers for Wiege, canon-compliant Rated Gen Warning: Major Character Death

Luka, through the years, and into the aftermath.

Wiege took me down, so I decided to take the rest of the fandom down with me (as if we all collectively didn't die a death when it dropped...). A Luka character study, focused on how Hyuna was such a pivotal part of him and his life. It was so interesting seeing the world through Luka's eyes. He's such a Character.

More soon!

Passed out a few times but here's your masterlist, I guess. Have fun :))

feeling really crazy today thinking about the jackadlers match with fact that the whole stadium was chanting shoyo's name, celabrating his plays, and shoyo turned back to meet tobio's eyes and smile at him to share his glory with his person. meanwhile tobio was mirroring his satisfied grin, knowing that his someone better finally caught up to him and made him the happiest :'))

"he needs a break," suna says, looking at osamu. the man is asleep on the couch while his daughter places stickers all over his face.

atsumu turns and looks. he's drying the dishes that suna just washed. "I've tried to tell him. between the restaurant and her, he makes every excuse possible," he says. "her" meaning kanako, osamu's daughter. they don't want to clue her in that they're talking about her. or her father. "I think he's scared of leaving her for longer than he has to," atsumu trails off.

kanako pinches her dad, squealing with laughter when osamu jerks awake. he's confused for a moment before he jumps into that playful dad role, tickling her sides while lightly scolding her.

suna's heart aches.

a while later, atsumu leaves for the night. suna is staying at osamu's apartment for a few days, just to visit. they settle down to watch a movie.

it's not long before kanako is sound asleep in osamu's lap. osamu himself is dozing off. suna debates letting him get some sleep.

but instead, suna taps his shoulder.

osamu turns to suna with a confused face- nose scrunched up in a way that always makes suna smile.

"hey," suna says softly.

"hi," osamu replies.

suna swallows. "remember in high school. when you asked me out?"

osamu's face flushes and he looks away. "yeah, I remember the most embarrassing day of my life."

"I didn't reject you because I didn't feel the same way, osamu," suna says. he reaches out and takes osamu's hand. this makes osamu turn back to face suna. "I was a coward in high school. a massive coward with confusing feelings. and I was scared to lose my best friend." suna takes a breath before continuing, willing his cheeks to cool down. "so, osamu, I want to ask you out. just us, one night, one dinner."

osamu looks at kanako. suna doesn't blame him, he had honestly expected it. osamu would move mountains for her, give her the world on silver platter if she asked.

"rin, I..."

"don't worry about kanako. you know atsumu will watch her. or your mom. you know she'll be in good hands. honestly, even if nothing comes of dinner, I just want you to be able to have a night to yourself." suna squeezes osamu's hand. "I want you to have a night to relax. and as your best friend, I want to help."

osamu meets suna's eyes, his own eyes shining. "okay, rin," osamu says, voice barely coming out. "I would like that."

for a moment, suna's heart stops. but he keeps his smile soft and warm, even if he wants to jump up and down like a fool in love.

osamu let's out a deep breath and relaxes. "but another night. I need to sleep tonight."

suna laughs. "I know. go to sleep. I'll put kanako in bed." he nudges osamu's shoulder.

osamu leans against suna, resting his full weight against suna's side. "or, we can stay here. say we fell asleep."

this time, suna can't help his giddy smile. "okay. sounds good."

hey all, it's sou. a lot of you usually follow me for my haikyuu!! content since i started posting in 2021, and i really appreciate that! (especially since i shitpost about several other series, ha.) it's been great having you guys here, and i've felt so much support and love from so many of you. i love the space that i've cultivated for myself and the people who love my work, and it's one of the hobbies that's made me happiest over the past four years. but i know i haven't been keeping up with that part for the last year or so—and for good reason, as i'm sure many of you are aware.

i know a lot of us are doing what we can to help gaza, but sometimes donating, sharing, calling and emailing reps, and other actions don't feel like enough—especially when israel's just broken the ceasefire that had made so many hopeful it would end. it's absolutely devastating and i know it feels like there's very little we can do at this point. i'm not willing to give up just yet, though, so here's the deal:
