[pianostarinwonderland]

Thanks for answering my questions! And so quickly, too! You seem like a wise and rational person, especially when it comes to love. But, maybe even a little easy to fluster, too, hehhe. Don't mind me, just wanted to let you know that I adore reading your thoughts, even if they are not tako related.

[Reply to here!]

wow this has to be the fastest reply I've gotten to an ask HAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm really in the lovey dovey mood so that's also why I'm quick to reply now xD sorry to those whose asks I still have yet to reply to.......

GODDDDD I love feeling flustered ngl 🤡 it makes my days feel more interesting. I love wondering if a gesture meant Something and then convincing myself that it could just be friendly and the delulu comes back and the cycle goes over and over again. It’s painful but it’s fun wwwww definitely doesn’t sound wise and rational but I want to let myself feel even just a bit

Awww thanks for the appreciation 🥹 I’m glad to hear you enjoy my ramblings. It’s motivation to make me keep this blog active and alive hehe

On tako thoughts, I 💀 I NEED MORE HIS BDAY IS APPROACHING AND I’M NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR HIM 🤡🤡🤡🤡 he doesn’t deserve this silent treatment from me, I’ll figure out wtf to do for him soon 😤

interlude: yes in a heartbeat

Word count: 879

Warnings: none

Author’s note: hi <3 this interlude almost didn’t happen because the words were just not coming to me ngl ngl but!! my loneliness on a friday night inspired me because i want this 😁. i want this so bad 😩. sorry it’s very cheesy, very lovey dovey. it’s just who they are. literally an explosive duo only when they explode is just pink, rainbows and butterflies. i hope they’re happy forever.

p.s. let this be a hint of the mood i’m in because chapter ten is being cooked as we speak and baby it’s gonna be something. out on sunday btw! <3 xx

This is a work of fiction. Please respect the members and their privacy. x

interlude: yes in a heartbeat

Stranger danger.

Lucy knows better – in every sense. She’s way too easy-hearted to let herself trust too easily, indulge too quickly, voice the yes in a heartbeat that flashed in her mind the moment this turn of events was propositioned to her. That same yes in a heartbeat that has her actual heart rate running slightly erratically as the pink-haired boy to her right narrates an oddly detailed story of his first time babysitting a certain Soo-Soo, as he calls her.

Stranger danger but for all the wrong reasons. Or the right ones, depending on your outlook on things.

The city is eerily quiet, something she finds comforting – his voice the only noise that echoes amongst the tall buildings and vast streets. The city is lit in a way that reminds Lucy of her favourite movie when she was a teenager and she can’t quite grasp why, on her countless walks to the diner after a night out, she’d never caught this cinematic drift.

“Did you know babies can’t drink water when they’re like, really little?”

Jimin’s question catches her off-guard and she giggles.

“No. But noted.”

It’s because she’d never understood it until now. The whole ‘she thought the view was pretty but he thought he was prettier’ quotes she would swoon over when it was her fragile heart against the world in middle school – the first time she ever got her heart broken. It didn’t take much to break it, which can only mean it didn’t take long to fix it.

And perhaps the problem is not the tearing and mending but the overall wreckage – growing up and realizing that quotes in a book are just that and that her life wasn’t the other side of a cinematic parallel. Realizing that she was just an ordinary girl with extraordinary ideals for the world, for love.

When Jimin holds her hand in his, cautiously at first, he debunks all her theories. Little by little he mends – not the tear and wear but the cruelty of the world that made a heart so big tremble in the face of hope.

“Is this okay?” When he asks her this, she ponders on the answer for a while. Not because it’s not okay but because the small action has her feeling so jolted, she begins to get a little superstitious.

“Yes, it’s more than okay.” She manages words but her voice is shaky. She’s nervous and for once is her life, she likes the feeling.

He takes her words as command, entwining his fingers in hers and resuming his story. Their hands swing in-between the two of them and Lucy has to put a little too much thought into not looking down and contemplating their tangled fingers.

After a couple of minutes, she gets used to it. In consequence, she gets used to him. And so, they walk – hand in hand, his sweet voice matching the sweet smile that grows in her face as she disarms into the moment, ridding herself of parallels. This is their universe and nothing before has slightly compared.

~

“Waffle fries.”

“No way – I like it old school.”

“Wha- waffle fries are way better.”

Lucy smiles, endeared by the way he rests his case with a pout – one so sweet she almost breaks.

“I can’t even match them down to a moment in history. It’s trop Americain for me.”

“Say that again.”

Lucy’s cheeks paint a pretty pink tint in her soft skin, eyes looking down as she says, “trop Americain.”

Jimin’s index finger gently grazes her chin, caressing for a second before he pushes her face upwards, making their gazes meet again. “Mademoiselle Lucy?”

She rolls her eyes, softly chuckling at his goofiness. “Yes?”

“Can I kiss you right now?”

Her heart doesn’t let her brain conduct another thought before she’s softly whispering her answer to him.

“Yes.”

When Jimin kisses Lucy the world grows softer. Gentler. He thinks the moment very much resembles her whole essence. The way she talks, the way she feels. The way her voice goes velvety when she talks about something that makes her eyes shine is quite similar to the way her lips feel. He’s pretty sure that if he kisses her like this for one more breath his heart will pretty much leap to her. So, he does.

When he pulls away, he’s faced with something he rarely experiences – nerves. She looks so pretty, even in the cool diner light. His eyes fixate on every little freckle that adorns her nose and he can hear his insides screaming.

“French fries had a moment in history?”

“Yes – they’re not actually French, they originated in Belgium. During the winter, villagers would-” Jimin’s question had been rhetoric, an ice breaker to ease the feeling growing inside his heart. And just like that, with random culinary facts and those shiny eyes, she teared his plan apart. “Fry potatoes as opposed to fish, which they would fry during the summer. American soldiers discovered it and labelled it the French fry because, well, the main language spoken was French.”

He stares at her. Half amused, half in shock. It doesn’t take him long to break out in laughter.

“What?” She says, “you asked.”

No more easing the heart for Jimin.

He kisses her again.

[daydream-believin]

styrofoam cup give me strength

summary: you’ve not had a valentine’s date since way back when it was invented in the 14th century. you’re still bitter. and douxie asking you to come over to help him with his date is not making it better

warnings: swearing, alcohol

word count: idk i’m on mobile it’s not too long i don’t think

a/n: i wrote this while groggy. lol i just wanted something out this week. 1/3 valentines fics done. bone apple teeth yall

- it’s feb 14, valentine’s day, and you are once again spending it alone

- you thought for sure moving to a new town would help you better your chances at a successful love life

- but alas you have been in arcadia oaks for two years now and you are still without a valentines date

- you cursed this wretched holiday, always mocking you in your singleness

- it was stupid, and commercial, and made up anyway

- that didn’t stop you from looking spiffy tho

- look, the stupid lovey dovey couples that come in the restaurant tip way better when you’re dressed on theme

- it was just smart okay,,

- ngl you kinda felt like spongebob when pearl took over the krusty krab

- but that’s okay :D

- and all those cheeseball couples you served were just oh so cute, didn’t make you want to cry at all

- or at least go lie in a ditch, contemplating your life choices

- it’s okayyy :D :D

- stars, as soon as your shift is over you’re hitting up the bar across the way from your place

- time to drown out them sorrows am i right??

- actually, now that you think about it, your friend douxie asked you if you could make a quick swing by his place before you began drinking yourself into oblivion

- fuck, how did you forget that

- ah, well, you didn’t know what he wanted, but you were sure it wouldn’t take long

- you never asked, cause the answer might have hurt, but you were sure he had someone to hold tonight, a lucky, lucky valentines date. probably that pink haired chick he hangs with, or maybe that guy in his band? either way, he wouldn’t have much time for you

- he probably just wants you to run an errand for him or help him set something up

- and that was okay too :D

- life was dandy

- your shift ended, and you know that you promised douxie you’d be over asap, but tbh you were way too sober to go help your crush set up his romantic gestures meant for someone else. before leaving work, you poured some wine into a to-go cup with a bendy straw for your trip

- don’t judge

- you knocked on douxie’s door, before just walking right in without waiting for an answer

- look he gave you a key did he expect you not to use it

- anyhoo, you were right

- this place was all ready to go for a romantic evening

- candlelight, fancy tablecloth and place settings, red roses in the vase, soft music playing, rose petals on the ground? leading form the door?

- you furrowed your brows, and then rolled your eyes. yeesh. he was going all out apparently. you wouldn’t put it past him to be wearing a suit or something. wait, does douxie even own a suit? you went to go throw away the empty to-go cup, expecting doux to be in the kitchen, but he wasn’t there

- where was he

- you called out “DOUX! IM HERE!”

- you heard a shuffle from one of the other rooms, and a door swing open

- “wait, where are you, love?”

- “kitchen!”

- douxie appeared behind you. hmm, he wasn’t in a suit, but he was wearing a tie. how strange. a black tie on a slightly different shade of black shirt with some slightly different black slacks and, you guessed it, yet another shade of black shoes

- walk walk fashion baby

- “aww, you didn’t follow the petal path?”

- the confusion spread across your face “...no?”

- “okay,” he pressed his hands together, “could you go back outside and pretend to come in for the first time, and actually follow the petals?”

- “... come again, camelot?”

- “ah, you know what, fine.” he scooped you up, carrying you to the table

- “doux what the fuck,,”

- he put your feet back on the ground in front of the elegantly decorated table and pulled out the chair with a flourish, inviting you to sit

- you blinked. what. wh- why? wasn’t this set up for his date? why was he motioning for you to join hi-? ohhh. ohhh

- OH

- FUCK

- you quickly pulled your escaping soul back into your body and sat down in that chair. mr casperan, eligible bachelor of the evening pushed your chair and and took his own seat across from you, leaning with his head in one of his hands, like a cool cat

- you were.. still in shock to say the least

- you think douxie just didn’t like the quietness cause the next thing that came out of his oh so suave mouth was-

- “so, you come here often?” accompanied by eyebrow waggling

- “... to your house?” you cracked a smile, “yeah, yeah i guess i do.”

- douxie laughed, “sorry, i was just trying to lighten up the mood a little,” he poured you a real glass of wine that was not a bendy straw to-go cup, “you’ve been so down lately, i thought you could use some cheering up.”

- “that’s sweet, douxie. i love you.”

- fuuuuuccccckkkkk

- oh my stars, i mean you two say ‘i love you’ all the time, but, but, this was a date right, it means something else now, you can’t just say that

- wait, or was this a date? what he just said kinda made it sound like this was a one time platonic cheer-up-my-friend date and not a date-date

- okay okay uhhh

- “so like, what’d you want me to help you with?” douxie blinked.

- “y/n?”

- “ i mean this is nice and all but we should probably get a move on before your s/o arrives, don’t want to ruin the surprise.”

- “y/n-“

- you made a motion like you were about to stand. douxie quickly grabbed your hand before that could happen, pulling you back into your seat. “Y/N,” that got your attention, “I- this is for you, you’re my date, i don’t have a s/o... i-“ douxie looked the floor to gather some courage. there was a scratch mark in the cheap wood where archie’s dragon claws had skidded accidentally. he’d have to fix that. after he fixed this. “i, was hoping,,” douxie rubbed the back of his neck nervously, “that after tonight,, you, would be my significant other?”

- he said that last part so nervously, and posed like a question. a question you had to answer. damn

- “i- yeeEs”

- “oh, okay then, y- yes.” douxie took rather long sip from his wineglass. he set it back down with a start “it’s settled then.”

- “settled?”

- “settled”

- “- yeah”

- douxie stood up, his chair making a loud sound scraping against the hardwood. “OKAY,” he clapped his hands together, “let’s start dinner, shall we?”

- “we shall.” you raised your glass to show excitement. mordrax’s bloody miracles this was awkward. and yet somehow the best thing that could have happened. not the worst case scenario but the best case one. you could be crying and lying on the cold dirt outside a bar right now so

- if awkward is coming with not being heartbroken, being on a valentines date for the first time since the stupid fucking holiday was invented seven centuries ago, fuck you st valentine, and your crush actually reciprocating you feelings and-

- wait hold the fuck up

- douxie reciprocated. he actually likes you. he invited you to this date. he asked you to be his s/o. what the fuck

- douxie came back from the kitchen, plates in his hands. as he set yours in front of you, you just couldn’t help but asking a burning question,

- “how, how long,”

- douxie furrowed his brows, “how long what? the dinner didn’t take lo-“

- “how long have you, i dunno, ah, liked me?”

- douxie looked sheepish, pointing his fingers together, “oh, i don’t know, maybe,, since we met?”

- you let out a defeated sigh. “by merlin, me too, we’re so fucking stupid-“ you wheezed. you couldn’t even finish the thought from how hard you were laughing

- and let’s be real, if you weren’t laughing right now you would be crying

- douxie was laughing too, for the same reason

- and now you two were sitting at this table, laughing like madmen

- it was gonna be a long night

- but, you know what? that was okay

- maybe you’d get a little kiss or two at the nights end

- spoiler: you did

if you need a reason to smile hopefully this helps 💕 — twitter. com/ judithandronic1/ status/ 1449895068567965700?s=21 (probably one of my fave cockles ops i’ve seen from dencon)

lovely! and thank you <3

some more after the cut

Not entering into the discourse, so my take-aways from the weekend: 1. clearly Jensen and Misha absolutely adore each other, 2. seriously, the body language is LOUD (thinking about when Misha crashed Jensen's panel and after the double take, Jensen looks him up and down while leaning back and spreading his legs open and positively grinning), 3. other body language is also loud (ahem Jensen high-tailing it out of the J2 panel, clearly pissed as all hell), 4. Angel. Plushie!!! - Honeymoon Anon

absolutely agreed on all parts. in conclusion: angel plushie!!

this angle tho — twitter. com/ judithandronic1/ status/ 1449793798184177667?s=21

yeah honestly the way his mood changes is palpable

Can we bask together in the double-take-and relax-moment please? It was perfection, the way his face just lit up kills me dead. I love them together. I wish we’d got more but I’m happy we were able to at least see that little moment of happiness. Misha saying “I don’t really know what I’m doing up here” and Jensen offering up his seat 😭 I’m just gonna live in that comparison gifset for a while… and ignore the drama. Saw some of your tags earlier I hope you’re doing okay, sending you love and good vibes. I hope you sleep better tonight 💙

ngl i think i'm probably gonna rewatch that 10 minute cut a lot because it's just. so wholesome. i missed seeing them on stage so much. and thank you! <3 i did sleep a little better and i'm taking things easy. feeling a bit better today.

oh 🥺 — twitter. com/ casisloved/ status/ 1449697672546377728?s=21

so true twitteruser casisloved <3

no thoughts, just this.

yeah.gif

Personally this wasn’t my favorite Misha outfit, but do we think Jensen dressed him? The unfitted red pants give me early Misha fashion “choices” vibe vs later JIBcons when Jensen was at the helm with layers, rock tshirts, leather jackets.

🦤

no i def think he dressed himself sdhfshfhsfd

oh okay 👀 @ jensen: ”it’s no secret that antony/homelander’s suit is quite muscly and built out” misha: “in allll the right places”

lmao i laughed so hard at that. good for you mish, thirsting as always

OK but after tonight I'm 100% sure j2 are not over their fight, jensens face says it all rip

honestly it did feel very tense...

tbh i think misha's headcanon for post finale cas has a lot to do with how misha has been feeling personally since the show ended. :( i can't blame him, he's always been treated like crap by the execs and the ending was no exception. cas is clearly very important to misha and i get the bitterness.

however i'm super glad him and jensen are still smiley and lovey dovey and close around each other so that's what i'm choosing to focus on :) (and im sure he is too lol)

maybe... someone else also said that it does make sense that this is his "headcanon" because he is working off of what was in the script, and not necessarily making his own headcanons like we do, and that also makes sense.

Cliff seems to be more of a bodyguard for Jared than Jensen tbh? Like I’m sure he was originally for both but after that question, which was gross I feel like he spends way more time with Jared than he does with Jensen and same presumption can be made with his Twitter account (promoting walker etc).

i honestly wouldnt know cause i don't follow either clif or j*red on social media. i don't need that kind of headache.

IwaOi Master Fic Rec List (50+ Fics)

Hello! In celebration accumulating over 190+ bookmarks on my AO3 account featuring IwaOi and Iwaizumi coming back into the manga (and for his (almost) birthday), I decided to create a masterlist of all of my favorite fanfictions in order to keep myself organized as well as contributing to more traffic on those works! I decided to split the works up by my own self-imposed genres, such as angst, coming-of-age (or the childhood-friends-to-lovers trope that we all love which depicts how their relationship changes as they grow up and will mostly be canon-compliant), and alternate universe. With the revival of Iwaizumi in the manga, alternate universes will be broken down into adulting AU where he and Oikawa’s diverge differs from in canon and actual, legit AU where there’s basically no volleyball.

I’ll include the title, link, word count, fic summary, and my own commentary (mostly for my own personal entertainment). While the AO3 fandom has been going strong since 2014, I personally have only been reading IwaOi fics for about 3 months, so I will most likely be recommending some cult-favorites, especially since I’ve been reading my fics by sorting through the tag with the most kudos.

My absolute favorites (or the ones where I personally push onto my IRL haikyuu friends) will be denoted with ♡ in increments of 1-3 with 3 ♡ being an absolute must-read. Fics marked with a * indicate that Iwaizumi or Oikawa or both are professional athletes because that’s honestly my Favorite Trope. This is incomplete as I got distracted while re-reading a lot of these and have only gone through half of my bookmarks, but feel free to check my own page here for the rest of them! This took me about 9 days to compile (aka this was in my drafts for about 9 days) but I do hope you guys enjoy reading these and leave comments and kudos!

Adulting AU 

*♡♡Thirty Years and Change (the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad)

Word count: 19k

Summary: It’s July 10th, 2024, and Oikawa Tooru is an Olympian. His smiling face airs on an NHK promo every 45 seconds. He’s captain of the national men’s volleyball team, reigning star of the professional leagues, and he hasn't spoken to Iwaizumi Hajime in two years.

Thoughts: THIS IS IT. THIS FIC IS GOD TIER. They’ve been separated but now are falling back into old habits and there’s a confession on the line? Akaashi is in here and he’s pretty funny. I reread this all the time.

*♡♡♡the courtship ritual of the hercules beetle

Word count: 66k

Summary: Tooru is pretty sure he could manage the mating habits of a mosquito. It’s the mating habits of people he can’t seem to get right.

Thoughts: Absolutely the best IwaOi fic I’ve ever read. I’ve reread this about 4x and I always pay attention to a new sentence or detail that leaves me breathless. The characterization is pretty spot on, and I have to admit that this fic made me appreciate IwaOi a little more. I’ve cried countless times too. A cult-favorite but it doesn’t have nearly as many hits as it deserves.

♡days fall away

Word count: 17k

Summary: Except now he’s back home, so close to his old haunts and to Oikawa himself, and it's—weird.

Thoughts: They’ve separated for a bit but now they’re back in the same city and learning to be around each other again. Cue teasing from the biological and Seijoh family

it's been so long (nobody knows me the way you do)

Word count: 8k

Summary: Tooru hums, only half-listening. Somewhere along the way, Hajime’s palm has settled itself over the curve of Tooru’s cheek, thumb tracing over the line of his jaw.

Thoughts: They’re living together post-college feat. snapshots from their lives before getting together and their Seijoh team! It’s really soft but it manages a humorous tone as well.

Time

Word count: 5k

Summary: When they're twenty-three, their story only begins.

Thoughts: A piecewise fic told from Oikawa’s point of view. The tone is almost chatty but it really fits the pacing of the work as you get snippets and sentences of their relationship throughout the years

♡Almost a Stranger

Word count: 16k

Summary: Iwa-chan's leaving Japan. Tooru's not sure he can forgive him, but he's not going to admit his long-held feelings, either. A trip to Miyajima complicates everything.

Thoughts: They go on vacation right before Iwaizumi leaves Oikawa for a year. Oikawa ponders their relationship.

where fireflies never die

Word count: 4k

Summary: >>Oikawa: Hey Iwa-chan >>Oikawa: Did I ruin it?

Thoughts: Oikawa is a mangaka and basically writes his best selling series based off of him and Iwaizumi. This was pretty angsty ngl with a lot of introspection and second-guessing.

In the Business of Love

Word count: 22k

Summary: Meet Oikawa Tooru: He's a best-selling shoujo manga artist, a hardcore romantic and you won't believe where he's getting his lovey dovey fodder from...Enter Iwaizumi Hajime: He's Oikawa's best friend, a realist who also happens to be a wedding magazine writer despite not believing in romance...

Thoughts: Mangaka Oikawa but this is basically a rom-com lmao

Alternate Universe

Even Heroes (have the right to dream) 

Word count: 20k 

Summary: Oikawa Tooru, ace reporter of the superhero beat of Asahi Shimbun, hates superheroes. Or maybe he just hasn’t met the knight one yet. 

Thoughts: Superhero-hiding-his-identity-Iwaizumi and begrudging Oikawa? Sign me up. This fic spent a little more time on worldbuilding than eventual romance, but it is still absolutely unique and entertaining

The secret omega

Word count: 17k

Summary: Iwaizumi’s annoying as fuck best friend. Who absolutely, definitely, no matter what, cannot find out that Iwaizumi is an omega.

Thoughts: A/B/O dynamics where Iwa is the omega and Oikawa is the alpha. 90% plot building which is pretty nice.

Conquering the Great King

Word count: 105k

Summary: Oikawa's lips twitched into a smirk and he brought them hovering just over Iwaizumi's, "One time thing, Two time thing, what's it matter as long as it's not a Relationship thing?"

Thoughts: Malicious and flirtatious Oikawa meet immovable object Iwaizumi. They’re businessmen trying to navigate friends-with-benefits and love all at the same time. A+ sex scenes tbh. 

♡Infinite Risks

Word count: 8k

Summary: “It’s my fate,” Oikawa responds slowly. He’s crying.“It’s too lonely,” Iwaizumi’s heart sounded broken. “And I’m not there with you. Not really.”

Thoughts: Edge of Tomorrow AU!!!!! Please watch Edge of Tomorrow first because it’s truly a brilliant movie that I wholly enjoyed and this fic reflects that. This also made me really sad so Beware

*♡Something Like Us

Word count: 28k

Summary: Friends since childhood, Oikawa and Iwaizumi now live together, both playing for the National Team. It's no secret that athletes who are bonded perform better. So if the two of them happen to bond...It'd be for the good of the team, right?

Thoughts: ABO dynamics (and somewhat canon-compliant) as they’re roommates, on the national team, and try to navigate being “fake” mated while harboring feelings

And All the Prince’s Men

Word count: 65k

Summary: “Father only loves that which he owns, and I am the one thing that can never truly be his.”

Thoughts: Royal bastard son Oikawa and his servant Iwaizumi. An enthralling read and universe. The romance takes a secondary seat here as it focuses more on plot and world-building. 

♡long nights, no peace

Word count: 18k

Summary: It's the steady knowledge that Iwaizumi Hajime will always be someone that he can rely on, that no matter what the world throws at the two of them, they share in a piece of each other's soul.

Thoughts: Pacific Rim! AU. Otherwise known as my favorite types of AUs because they’re basically soulmates (platonic or not,, but they’re not platonic here)

♡(sing with me) A Song of Conquest and Fate

Word count: 26k

Summary: When Seijou receives a missive from Aobajousai to discuss a potential peace, its emperor Oikawa Tooru could not have foreseen the series of events that would follow.

Thoughts: Warring states/historical fantasy AU. The world building is amazing and this author has great control over her language use

Cotton Breathing

Word count: 13k

Summary: 

Thoughts: Long-distance and summer only but childhood friends Iwaoi!!! A dreamy summer piece and reading it almost makes me feel like I’m in a Studio Ghibli movie because of the mood it puts me in

Similar Creatures

Word count: 53k

Summary: "What's your name?" "Whatever you want it to be."(Or, Oikawa gets directions from an attractive stranger on a street corner.)

Thoughts: Iwaizumi is an escort and Oikawa needs a fancy date

Space

Word count: 44k

Summary: Tries not to think of his rooftop garden, or the apartment he used to inhabit, or Hajime’s broken expression on the night they whispered their goodbyes before Tooru’s launch, attempting to push it all to the back of his mind behind visions of this alien world terraformed

Thoughts: Oikawa’s in outerspace. They’re separated. This left me feeling pretty empty ngl.

♡here comes your man 

Word count: 8k

Summary: Iwa-chan, it reads, Have a good day today! Good luck! <3 <3 <3Suga chokes. It’s hard to imagine anyone calling the scowling and fierce Doctor Iwaizumi “Iwa-chan.” But marriage probably comes with all sorts of liberties.

Thoughts: Doctor AU where Iwaizumi and Oikawa’s relationship is pondered by Suga

In the Telling

Word count: 6k

Summary: Muggleborn Iwaizumi could not be less impressed with pureblood Oikawa Tooru.

Thoughts: Harry Potter AU where they’re in the same year and aren’t really friends but are also friends

♡♡The Loyalty of A Traitor

Word count: 76k

Summary: Iwaizumi Hajime was an undercover officer with a single objective: Infiltrate the Seijoh Syndicate of the Yakuza and tear them down from the inside out. His primary target was the boss, Oikawa Tooru. The job itself was simple enough, until Iwaizumi got in too deep and absconded not only from the mission, but from the city itself.

Thoughts: Oh fuck this was Good. Yakuza boss Oikawa???? Disgraced Iwaizumi??? Do they fall in love (again)?

and suddenly, we were traitors

Word count: 17k

Summary: "sorry, it's just... you’ve been amazingly kind to me these past few days. ...but i'm still not sure who you are.”

Thoughts: The amnesia fic this fandom needed

Trial by Fire

Word count: 78k

Summary: (lawyer!AU - in which Iwaizumi loves his objections, Oikawa is beautiful, and they have more chemistry than two opposing attorneys probably should.)

Thoughts: Hot

dear diary, i met a boy

♡♡i sing the body electric

Word count: 8k

Summary: It was never part of the plan, falling in love with his best friend, but then again, most things in Iwaizumi’s life that involve Oikawa rarely unfold the way he thinks they will.

Thoughts: A beautifully introspective piece told from Iwaizumi’s point of view. It’s wholly intimate and it toes along the lines of pining and soft angst. It’s told in snippets from their lives growing up together. 

♡we can do better than that

Word count: 16k

Summary: Oikawa and Iwaizumi go on a road trip during the summer after their high school graduation. It doesn't go as expected, but maybe that's not such a bad thing after all.

Thoughts: There’s a lot of character analysis and it takes a step away from the casual banter they’re always portrayed to have and focuses on the intricacies of their relationship. The tone is almost a little more melancholy. (also they have to share a bed! trope)

This fic really solidified my own headcanon for Oikawa (spoiler alert, OP isn’t too fond of Oikawa but she fleshes out his character and his idiosyncrasies so well that you can’t help but be drawn into all of his imperfection) and this fic respects Iwaizumi as well. It has absolutely great characterization and the fic ends on an ambiguous note.

Summary: Oikawa was always the brave one. Hajime just followed two paces behind.

[ketsuyuki-hibana-typed]

could you do some zenitsu domestic headcanons?💛

I got you! However, this will be a little bit chaos, more than Inosuke one. Haha, let's see how good this could be

Agatsuma Zenitsu x Reader (Modern Domestic AU)

You've been with him ever since high school. Both of you are (magically) unseparated, even went into the same major and same class in the university

Normal couple will do something like waking up each other, doing their activities and going to school/uni/works in peace, and having lovey-dovey vibe as bonus

But apparently, not for you two

"..."

"..."

"...what time is this." You pushed Zenitsu's head, slapped your phone on the nighstand and grabbed it. "SHIT, ZENITSU WAKE UP! WE'RE LATE!"

Zenitsu didn't budge, you tapped his cheek and forehead repeatedly.

"(y/n)... I love you.." He hugged you and made your body as his pillow, still dreaming in utopia.

"I'm serious here!!" You dragged his arms across your room to the bathroom while he still sleeping.

"Ungh..."

"ZENITSU!" You 'washed' his face with water, now he fully conscious and panicking too

It's a mess morning, you can't count on how many times both of you collided while he wearing his shirts and you taking your books. Or how he mistook your jacket as his and you suddenly forgot what will you do next.

"We are out of milk!!" He screamed in front of the refrigerator, making dramatic scene. "I'M GONNA DIE FOR NOT HAVING BREAKFAST!"

"Oh God, shut up for a sec!!" You pulled bread from shelves. "Here!" You just kinda slapped strawberry jam on top of it. He took the bread and stuffed it inside his mouth

"...I think we miss something." You stood quietly in front of the apartment door.

"Huh, what is it?! We had to hurry!!" Zenitsu grunted while busy locked the door. He looked at you in the eye.

"..."

"..."

"RIGHT, THE TEXBOOKS."

The chaos wasn't end there. A thing called 'Japanese Rush Hour' was common on your region. The train was packed with humans.

"Are we gonna make it on time?!" Zenitsu ran while panting hard.

"Grab my hand!!" You caught his hand, jumped, cramping inside the train and trying to budge in with people

The train finally moved.

You breathed, struggle to find oxygen inside your lung. So does Zenitsu.

"We... Hhhhh.... Make it...."

"... did you really set the alarm on my phone, Zenitsu?" You cooed.

"I did!"

"Then why..."

"Ah, but I probably tapped snooze." You pinched his cheek.

In class, you took seat beside him, he usually fantasized something in his mind in the middle of lecture. You had to tap his cheek with your book

You're having lunch together with Tanjirou, and Nezuko. Zenitsu sometimes flirted with Nezuko, but you didn't really bother with it. You knew he just playing around

Well, you're a little bit jealous

Ok, ngl, you're super jealous

Sometimes, you pouted when it happened or when the mood swing strikes you.

When this happened, Zenitsu often bought you Haagen Dazs as apologize, or if you still didn't accept his apologize, he promised to pamper you on weekend

"I'll go to the next weekend comicon with you! So please forgive me!"

"Promise? And bring all of my stuffs and merchandises all day?"

"Pinky promise!"

"...okay." He hugged you and butterfly-kissed your cheek

He's probably annoying and his endless whining was irritating, but there's time when he step out from his character.

It was when you walked pass the uni corridor alone. There were bunch of students who offered you their club. You refused, saying that you had something to do.

"Come on, just trial." They twined their arms onto your neck across your shoulder and dragged you into their room.

"She already said she doesn't want to join you." Zenitsu suddenly appeared. He pulled your arms, looking them with cold eyes. "Let's go."

You swear that's the coolest moment you ever saw in him.

Just normal place for dating, like parks, cinema and a place where there's voucher discount for student.

Between both of you, Zenitsu probably has the most common sense here. He prevented you to do stupid things, not wanted taking risk

"If I honk towards the geese, how many-"

"Nope, nope." He pulled your body off from the park. "Not a chance. I know you wanted to know how fast you could run from them."

On day-off at home, both of you usually took nap after doing assignments together.

He often talked in his sleep and you likes to play with him

"Nggghh, Tanjiroooo. The spider-"

"Zenitsu, the spider is going to get you!" You whispered beside his ear.

"No!"

"Oh no, he came to you!!"

"Nooo, (y/n) is still there!"

"Oh the spider ate her." You teased him more.

SMACK!

He pulled his hand and accidentally slapped your cheek. You writhed in pain

"TAKE THAT, SPIDER! THIS IS FOR THE LOVE OF MY LIFE"

That's actually sweet, but the pain on your cheek is miserable

When shopping, please grab his hand.

I beg you to grab his hand or please wait for him until he finished choose things from the shelves for you, don't leave him to the next aisle.

Because one time you didn't-

"What do you think of- (y/n)?" He looked around. He couldn't find your figure everywhere. He grabbed the salt from the top, and walked to the next aisle

No one, but a granny.

"Excuse me? Did you see someone who wears pink hoodie and blue jeans?"

"No, young man. Is that happened to be your mother?"

"No. She- she's my girlfriend."

"You lost your girlfriend?" She laughed. "Even kids could do better than you."

He chafed. After saying thanks to the granny, he went to the next aisle

"Where are youuuuu, (y/n)?" He whined.

Meanwhile, you took toilet paper peacefully, not knowing Zenitsu was disappeared.

Ding-dong tone was heard from supermarket speaker.

"Good evening to all customer in Kimetsu Supermarket. We informed that-"

"Another child lost announcement? Where are their parents? Shouldn't they hold their hands or do something about that? The child must be so desperate to find them, right Zenitsu?"

No answer.

"Zenitsu?" You looked around. Zenitsu wasn't on your sight

"-Agatsuma Zenitsu. We found your child. To Agatsuma (y/n) please come to customer service."

"...are you kidding me. He even used his family name."

When you come to customer service, Zenitsu was sitting there, sulked while holding salt. After bowing to the customer service (and act like you are his mom), you dragged him out from there with embarrassed face.

"Why don't you just call me?!"

"I told you that my phone was dead!!"

He didn't help you with dinner because everything he did are wrong on your eyes.

"This should placed here! Not there!!"

"It's the same shelves!!" Zenitsu complained

"Ugh, just sit down!"

So, all he could do was sitting on the dining set and looked at you cooking.

And smiled softly.

"It will be good if you became my wifey..."

"Hm? Did you say something?"

"Nothing!" He stood up and kissed your cheek quickly. "I'll fold the laundry."

He took interest on your 'cheap-but-works' night skincare routine

"So what's next? Wait, is this Pikachu headband really necessary?"

"Yes, it made your skin more shining, shimmering, splendid."

He's so afraid of the dark and refused to take out trash at night, but your anger is more sinister, he had no choice but to do it.

"It's only 6 feet from here."

"And on that 6 feets, there are crawlers, ghosts, I.T.-

"You clearly not watching I.T. he didn't live on apartment, now go."

You shoved the bag trash to him. He ran thorough the apartment stairs while screaming, threw the trasb and going back

"I will close the door, Zenitsu!" You jokingly said it to him. "One Two! Thr-"

"NOOO DON'T LEAVE ME! DON'T LEAVE MEEEEEE"

He leaped through the door and hit your whole body. He hugged you with all of his might while whining

"..you really afraid huh."

"I told you!!"

Both of you often stayed late for tons of reports and other assignments, supporting each other with cups of caffeines.

"You finished?"

"Not yet." He almost crying.

"Let me help you." You pulled his paper.

"Aaah, thank you!!!"

Or if you looked really tired, he didn't want your help and told you to go sleep first.

It's really rare to sleep together. But when you did, Zenitsu cuddled with you under the blanket.

"Why are you still with me? I'm annoying for most people."

"I don't know. Everyone have weakness right? You know, the cheesy quote said, 'If you can't handle me on the worst, then you don't deserve me at my best!"

He looked at your eyes, blinked twice. You let out small giggling.

"We can work out on each other's weakness. Don't really worry about it, okay?"

You poked his cheek. He kissed your forehead and nudged your nose. He felt relieved in his heart.

'I will never let you go.'

"Oh hey, don't snooze the alarm again will you?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Writing Asks: 1, 13, 22, 44 💛

aaah thank you!!! Answers under the cut cuz u know I write a book when I answer stuff lol

1. What made you start writing?

That’s a funny one actually. I never had like, a real catalyst that made me, but there was like, a moment that made me want to keep doing it and try and make something out of it. That was about second grade, when we got those like, one sheet things shaped like other things to free write on? Lemme see if I can find a pic to put on here of one: 

Like this guy! and there’d be one for every season and the teacher gave you like an hour to free write? 

And without fail every time we got one I always had to ask for more than one page, and the teacher sometimes let me write into the next lesson, and after we got about midway through the year, she called me and my mum in after school to talk about these assignments. Me, with my undiagnosed anxiety at all of seven was in a blind panic and figured I’d somehow done them all wrong, even though I’d never gotten a bad grade on them. 

So we roll in, and I’m shocked to learn she loves my stories, thinks they are “very advanced” for someone my age (I remember that compliment exactly because I legit gave her a hug when she said it, and my teacher was thankfully sweet and chill and just hugged me back lol), and wants to try and nurture that ability in class more but also wanted to tell my mum, so she could do the same outside of class. 

That was the moment my little brain went ‘oh hey, I do really like writing and want to keep doing it. What the fuck’ except I was seven so it was probably heck instead of fuck. And I went on from there to promptly constantly get in trouble for writing in class, in the margins of my notes and in notebooks tucked underneath my class notebooks, and now here I am!

13. What’s your favorite trope? 

Oh man. I had to actually pull up TV Tropes for this, because I guess I never really actively think about it? I maybe should, but hadn’t really until right this minute!

and ngl I immediately thought of Sledgefu, so I’m gonna list a trope associated with that, which is Aroused By Their Voice (as listed by TV Tropes). I still have like, a whole thing I need to write about how Eugene both finds immense comfort in Snafu’s voice, but also when they first met, the accent just...did him in. He was lost. Let Snafu read every book ever to him, and he’d never move from his spot. To other people, upon first meeting a very happy and excited Snafu, might find the accent hard to understand right at first, but Eugene never had the issue. And the stronger Snaf’s accent, the stronger the absolutely doofy, lovey dovey smile on Eugene’s face. 

Outside of that particular ship, it’s also a trope that I myself fall for irl, so when it happens in media I’m just like ‘oh hey same hat’ and everyone likes something relatable. 

22.  How do you deal with writer’s block?

Depends on the day and my mood honestly. Like I’m still working through a major rough patch mentally rn, so even when I did write and wanted to write more I found myself not able to find the energy to do much. So I just...took a break. I haven’t written anything except one poem all week, and now that it’s the weekend I want to try writing again, but if it isn’t happening? Then I’ll step away and play a video game for a few hours and try again later. In moments like this, where my brain is focused on my depression so damn hard, this method usually eventually shakes the writing out of my brain and makes me get it down on paper. 

Other times, when my brain is in better shape, I usually just...make myself write? And tell myself that even if it sucks, even if I hate it at the moment, I’ll be setting it aside as soon as I have it done and can come back and edit it and finish it when I’m in a better state of mind. Sometimes it works, and I go back and finish it, but I also have like, ten drafts from this method that I can’t decide if I like enough to actually fix up. And maybe I never will, but at least I got the words out, I figure. 

44. Would you rather have your WIP adapted into a movie or TV show?

Oooh depends on the WIP.

 If Aten, I think it might be better as like, a short series? Netflix would probably snag it if I shopped it the right way to them. I wouldn’t want to rush it, but also I’m working on what’s going to be the last part and then I’m writing an epilogue, so I don’t know that it would ever fit to be movie length for a script. 

If like, any of my Sledgefu stuff, definitely TV series. That’s just working with the original parameters of the Pacific too, knowing that those characters fit best in the realm of a series. Plus, I could make a good number of seasons between everything I have written so far, the ideas I still have, and the AUs I have. Though I would not let it become a Supernatural, if the decline has happened then I’m not gonna like...keep dragging it on and make Joe and Rami keep filming this at ninety (except for maybe one forward flash to Snaf and Sledge as old and happy together, but there’s prosthetics make up for that, no need to keep it running until the actors are actually that old. That would be just cruel!)

My new Kingsman stuff? Definitely movie. Again, this goes with using the prior form of the art, but I just feel like it would work better and be more fun as a flashy movie. To include all the detail I want to add in, it would need to be longer movies, and more than one, but like...I don’t see the downside there lol. 

As for my other stuff...man. I could go on for ages talking and thinking about it honestly. And I have WIPs I haven’t even talked about on here that like...if I had the time, I would also write a script version of them, for film or TV. Netflix or someone get at me for script-writing is what I’m saying I guess. I’m eager and can be sustained with a 39 cent cup noodle pile in the writers’ room, so you’d be getting away fairly cheap. Hit me up!
