MakoHaru Fanfiction: A World of Me and You

Title: A World of Me and You Rating: E Main Tags: Top Tachibana Makoto, Bottom Nanase Haruka, Fluff & Smut, Established Relationship, PWP Summary:“We don’t have to worry about or think about anything or anyone else,” he said, his eyes staring passionately, intently into Makoto’s. “Right now, it’s just a world of us. No one else.”

Makoto was more than open to that idea; right now, it was just them, and only them: a night just for each other, where the only thing they had to be was themselves.

In which Haru and Makoto finally get some free time in their busy work schedules for just the two of them.

-

Makoto took a shaky breath and pulled back to look into Haru’s eyes. “When we have a longer break...okay?”

Haru had been watching his and Makoto’s schedules for a while now, surreptitiously looking for the perfect break period they could spend together without Makoto having Haru’s physical condition constantly looming in the back of his mind: preferably it would be a long stretch of time off that they both had at the same time, freed from all of their daily responsibilities except those made to one another. When the time had finally made itself known, Haru had been surprised to find that their long respite began on a particular date: November 17th. He’d decided that such rare luck should not be wasted, and secretly began making preparations to make Makoto’s birthday extra special.

I just go with whatever pops up in my head when I start writing. I hope it's interesting enough to keep people reading but that's not for me to judge, so you tell me! :) Another thought that just crossed my mind is, why do most of my titles sound so lame? ;_; (It's truly one of the most difficult things when writing, if I don't know the title from the beginning, it's a struggle until the very end when I put the fic on AO3) Tagging some of my writer friends (no pressure to do this but I'd love to see it!) @tehalex3-blog, @radiodread, @berrynthewood and...

Hi everyone! I have been rewatching Free! these past few days, and it inspired me to do a kiss story for one of my favorite comfort ships: MakoHaru. This story takes place between Dive to the Future and Take Your Marks, and in it, Makoto goes to Tokyo to find an apartment, and Haru is not happy, because he doesn't want to be apart from Makoto, ever. If you love Free! and MakoHaru and need a little angsty fluff, I hope you'll give this one a peek. Please enjoy!!

Preview below the cut!

It wasn’t a presence that finally brought Makoto and Haru together; rather, it was an absence. The day that Makoto and his father left to go look at apartments, Haru woke up for the first time in over a decade by himself, without Makoto ringing his doorbell or coming to find him in the bathtub, begging him to get ready for school. 

The absence of Makoto’s “Ohayo, Haru-chan,” loomed larger than Haru could have ever thought possible. He didn’t love the childish nickname, but the way that Makoto always said it, so full of love and affection?

This morning, he missed it, more than ever.

He knew Makoto wouldn’t be gone long. He and his father would be back late the following evening: they had several apartments to see, and once they chose one, they would have to spend some time signing the lease and finding Makoto some furniture. But it was two nights longer than Haru had been without Makoto since they were babies, and every second without him already felt grueling, agonizing, impossible.

He didn’t like it.

When the World Breaks Your Heart

The last chapter of my Free! Music/College/Coffee Shop AU is up. :')

I had all sorts of drama planned for this fic as well as some spicy but I got to chapter 10 and things started to feel like they were winding down for a conclusion and there's nothing I hate more than something not ending when it should have.

It's not at all a popular fic of mine (none of my Free! ones really are) but Free! holds a special place for me and my pride journey and change and this one has been a very personal work. Thank you to anyone that has taken the time to read it <3

Can I get help finding a MakoHaru fic?

It starts with Haru announcing he’s in an arranged marriage. That’s the catalyst for them realizing their feelings for each other.

It’s all tangly and complicated and gets sexual pretty fast, all while they’re fighting their feelings.

I’m pretty sure they do it in a changing room. In semi-public anyway.

The arranged marriage is with Chitanda Eru from Hyouka. She meets up Haru and tells him she’s already with somebody (Oreki, likely) and he says he is as well.

The ending, Makoto is in bed and Haru cuddles up with him. The love confession is something like “I love you. And you’re mine.”

Unsure of how to react, he tries his best to navigate his emotions before the inevitable reunion. But when Makoto stands there in front of him, Haru is forced to face the truth—even though they haven't talked for years, he's really, really missed Makoto a lot.

MakoHaru Fanfiction: Let Me Call You Sweetheart

Title: Let Me Call You Sweetheart Rating: G Main Tags: Established Relationship, Anniversary, Romantic Fluff, MakoHaru Week 2024 Day 6: Love Languages Summary: “...there were times when Haru went above and beyond to express his feelings, leaving Makoto feeling breathless and filled with nothing but the tingly, fuzzy sensation of his love for Haru, and Haru’s love for him.”

Haru has a special surprise in store for Makoto to celebrate their anniversary.

-

When it came to Makoto and Haru’s relationship, Makoto was usually the one who expressed his feelings to Haru in words more often than not. On the surface he appeared to be more open with his feelings than Haru was, but that was only if you didn’t know where to look: Makoto could feel Haru’s love for him every day, through his thoughtful actions, body language, and soft expressions. And when he did express his love for him in words, it felt like the perfect flavor of icing on top of an already perfect cake—perfect without it, but even more perfect with it. And even beyond that, there were times when Haru went above and beyond to express his feelings, leaving Makoto feeling breathless and filled with nothing but the tingly, fuzzy sensation of his love for Haru, and Haru’s love for him.

Perfect Match

When Haruka saw a simple Hi on his wrist he was disappointed at first, but then reasoned, that as long as he had Makoto in his life he could handle the little chance of ever finding his soulmate.

It was still not impossible, common words like these often appeared as a soulmark. One might hope that the counter words on their soulmate's wrist would be more specific, but there was also yet another and final indication of the true connection. Just a simple kiss was enough for the bond to solidify, changing the colour of the soulmarks. So the general guidance in such cases was to pay attention and be honest with your own feelings. Soulmate words were only a guide, something to make it easier and be sure. The infatuation itself wasn’t derived from acknowledging the soulmark, it was inevitable to be there regardless and impossible to miss. Unless driven by desperation, it was natural to become close and comfortable for a kiss only with someone you were genuinely attracted to.

After the initial dismay, Haruka decided not to give much thought about his bland soulmark. If not from listening to the first words but through listening to his own heart, he was bound to find his soulmate eventually.

***

Makoto was always excited to find what his words would be, so he anxiously anticipated his sixteenth birthday when they would first appear. He sighed looking at his left wrist.

He supported Haru when his words turned out to be just Hi, so he felt like he had no right to be disappointed when his words were the same Hi too. Still, Makoto didn’t feel as excited anymore and thought that it would be best to leave everything to fate and not stress about it.

Only, now when someone said Hi to him or Haru they both tensed up and waited for the person’s reaction to their reply, and somehow both sighed in relief when there was no sign of recognition on the other part. They didn’t notice at first that the reaction they waited for was not for their own words but for each other’s.

Haruka didn’t know what he would do if Makoto found his soulmate and Makoto didn’t feel like he wanted someone to just casually come into his or Haru’s life. He knew that Haru won’t abandon him as a friend, but nothing would be the same. He liked their friendship and how they spent so much time together and he couldn’t imagine giving this much time to anyone else.

idk if its just the fact that im 22 and a much different person than i was when i first got into fandom and shipping culture when i was 12 but i genuinely think im tired of shipping.

like when i was 12 and into shit like percabeth, or tenrose, fucking destiel. when i was 14-15 shipping things like tsukkiyama, or fuckin' makoharu. i was consuming the content on the basis of the fan content.

i was watching these animes and reading these books because i liked shipping and fanfiction. i liked reading fics of these characters getting together and the media itself was more of a vehicle to consume more fan content, rather than enjoying the original content for what it was.

but now. ive studied english literature in college. I've become obsessed with genuinely good books and literature that were good not bc of the characters and the shipping, but bc of the content and stories being told.

the iliad, paradise lost, the picture of dorian gray, lolita, utopia, the canterbury tales, the tempest, etcetera!

i loved these books not bc of the shipping, but because they were genuinely intriguing stories that had a lot to analyze and say.

then we have danganronpa. a series of videogames that arguably have the same kind of shipping focused culture that a lot of anime's do.

i liked shipping in DR! i like naegiri and naegami! i think there's a lot of fun in the mindless shipping you can get from that, but I don't think its for me anymore.

the most enjoyment i get out of danganronpa is when the world building, the story, the morals of the characters, the themes of hope and despair, etc are at the forefront of discussions about it.

shipping is fine! but its almost annoying how every single discussion regarding the game's has to be about shipping and shipping discourse when the games themselves have a gorgeous dystopian narrative built into them.

Yours Still: A MakoHaru Holiday Story Now live on Ao3!

Hi everyone! I'm so pleased to share a little MakoHaru story I wrote for Sayura on Ao3 as part of the Warm and Cozy Gift Exchange. "Yours Still" (Rated T) features a pining Makoto who plans to confess to Haru at midnight on New Year's Eve, only to find that Haru has a confession of his own. Check out the preview below the cut, and I hope you enjoy!

Haru glanced at Makoto, then at Kisumi, and then back to Asahi. He glowered a bit, and Makoto realized that Haru was debating the benefits and drawbacks of whether he or Makoto should help Asahi. “I don’t think…” Haru began, his focus back on Kisumi, and, Makoto noticed, Kisumi’s arm, which he’d slung back around Makoto’s shoulders. Haru scowled.

“It—it’s fine, Haru-chan!” Makoto emphasized. “I’ll be here when you get back!”

“Yeah, Haru,” Kisumi echoed, resting his head on Makoto’s shoulder, “we’ll be fine. I’ll take good care of him for you.”

Haru’s jaw worked forward and backwards, and for a moment, Makoto thought he might explode. But he took a deep breath instead, ignored Kisumi, and addressed Asahi.

“I can show you,” he said. “Follow me.”

Haru gave Kisumi one last death glare, to which Kisumi just grinned brightly and said, “See you in a bit, Haru!” before he and Asahi left to drop the coats in Nagisa’s room. Nagisa, meanwhile, shoved a pair of reindeer antlers on Kisumi and steered him into the main part of the apartment. Despite Nagisa’s wheedling, Kisumi clung tightly to Makoto, though, even when Makoto sat down on the couch, and insisted on giving Makoto the specifics of Hayato’s swim class. He then asked how Haru was enjoying the apartment, if he was planning to renew his lease, to which…

Makoto realized with a start that he had no idea. Did Haru want to stay in his apartment? It was awfully nice, and close to the community center where Makoto worked. Sometimes, when he had the last shift, he chose to crash at Haru’s instead of taking the train home, and he didn’t know what he would do if Haru moved, and he had to take the train home? What if Haru chose a place even farther out? What if…

“Makoto?” Kisumi was looking at him with concern. “Everything okay?”

“Ah..um…” Makoto looked around, suddenly desperate for Haru’s presence. How could he explain his insecurities, his fears, that Haru would leave him behind, that this fear was deep-seated and had plagued Makoto since he and Haru were kids? 

“Fine,” Makoto lied, giving Kisumi what he hoped was a genuine smile. “Everything’s fine.”

Kisumi looked suspicious, but shrugged and kept talking, and Makoto, not wanting to seem rude, continued to partake in the conversation, even though he could feel his soul aching for Haru to be at his side again.
