Fic Rec 💚 Matchablossom - 2023 Birthday Edition (SK8 the Infinity)

My birthday is next Thursday!!! 🥳🥳🥳 And what's better way to celebrate than talking about the stuff I enjoyed the past year?

First up, Matchablossom!

Kaoru and Kojiro and the whole gang was such a comfort in 2022. I can always count on SK8 to elevate my mood whenever I feel down, esp Matchablossom. 🍵 🌸

Here are some fics that I adored reading in 2022 -

Title: How Little We Know

Author: beelligerence

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 13,902

Summary:

Kojiro sighs softly and smiles, mostly to himself, as Kaoru talks. He really doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life wondering ‘what if.’ And he doesn’t want to wait any longer, not when he’s already waited long enough. “Hey, Kaoru,” Kojiro says, interrupting Kaoru’s current train of thought. “What do you want, oaf?” Kaoru asks, irritated. “Will you go out on a date with me?” Kojiro has spent more than half of his life in love with Kaoru. He’s tired of waiting.

Title: Facade

Author: bitterheart

Rating: Teen

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 11,964

Summary:

The first time Kojiro hears from Kaoru after the breakup is after six days of radio silence. He's using his clipped professional tone that he usually saves for work phone calls when he says, "I was reviewing our—my calendar, and I realised that we sent an RSVP to your family holiday next week." "Right." Kojiro turns the burner of the stove off and presses his phone a little harder against his ear. "I'll, uh. Give my parents a call." "You haven't told them yet, have you." It's not a question, and Kaoru isn't gentle about the way he says it. Kojiro loves him—used to love him for that sort of thing. Two weeks after breaking up, Kojiro and Kaoru attend a holiday with Kojiro's family and pretend they're still together.

---

Title: Misfire

Author: bitterheart

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 10,404

Summary:

Kojiro pauses for a moment, carefully considering what he's about to do. He takes a breath, and sends: Show me how you'd sext. Kojiro accidentally sends Kaoru a sext meant for someone else. Things get a little out of hand.

---

Title: The Himbofication of Nanjo Kojiro

Author: crinklefries

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 30,378

Summary:

The thing about emotional consequences is that they have all of the gut-punch, full body aching of a physical consequence. They are all-encompassing, overwhelming, terrible, and completely inescapable. In this case, Kojiro could have easily avoided the emotional consequences to his actions if he had just tried. But he hadn’t—because Nanjo Kojiro is nothing if not a complete fucking idiot. And it was no one’s fault but his own that he had agreed to hook up with his best friend. * * * Kaoru comes up with the great, great idea to become friends with benefits. Kojiro listens to him. Now why did you go and do that, Kojiro?

---

Title: home is an anchor

Author: Marks

Rating: Teen

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 12,968

Summary:

It had been a long time since Kaoru had properly appreciated Okinawa. Sometimes his clients would come from the mainland, or even overseas, and they always seemed so impressed by things that Kaoru always took for granted. It was like that fake story about frogs staying in gradually boiling water; maybe growing up around it meant that Kaoru could never see what was so great about it. Or maybe he just needed to take a step back and examine it from a new angle. Perspective was very important for calligraphy, after all, and it was giving him an idea. Kaoru is stressed out, so he decides to go on vacation, but stay local. Obviously, Kojiro comes along.

---

Title: it's always been you

Author: onlydaisy

Rating: Teen

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 22,811

Summary:

Kaoru isn’t in love with Kojiro. He repeats this to himself each morning, when his phone lights up with a ‘good morning’ from Kojiro, an hour later when he shows up outside his door to walk to school and greets him with a tight hug, and then consistently throughout the rest of the day as Kojiro continues to make him suffer. Kaoru isn’t in love with him, he won’t let himself be.  Or- Five times Kojiro and Kaoru almost kiss, and one time they do.

Title: the heart is a mirror

Author: sepulcher

Rating: Teen

Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

Word Count: 9,880

Summary:

“Let’s get married,” Kojiro said. (It was the phenomenon of being so close to something that you lose the details, or knowing something so well and so confidently that you don’t bother to look twice.)

---

Title: tangled roots, steady waters

Author: wintersrose616

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 7,357

Summary:

“If you behave,” Kaoru drawls, raising an eyebrow, “I will.” Kojiro’s lips part, an answer of some sort on the tip of his tongue, but before he can say anything, a familiar, metallic voice rings out through the studio. Your appointment is at 2:30, in half an hour. It’s time to leave.  Both Kaoru and Kojiro freeze before Kaoru sits up, any intention on continuing this path for the afternoon gone, replaced by a mask of smooth, but false, professionalism. “No—,” Kojiro starts, but Kaoru’s running a hand through his hair, smoothing out tangles as he ignores him. “Thank you, Carla,” he calls.  “Kaoru— ” . As pseudo dads of three rambunctious teenagers on top of their day jobs, they don't often get alone time. or, five times Joe and Cherry get interrupted, and one night they get to themselves.

Life's short, have fun with it.

Do you have any favorite sk8 fics?

Oooookay! I have a BUNCH of SK8 fics I really love, so I'm just gonna pick just 5 from my bookmarks, because otherwise I will literally give you a list 40+ fics long.

I'll have you know that in going through my bookmarks for this list, I was kicking my feet and giggling going "Oh THIS one was good, and oh THIS one was good. Whoever curated this list has excellent taste."

After Your Heart Stops Rushing is a fic that takes place immediately post episode 12, with Reki and Langa decompressing after the funeral beef, talking about ~feelings~ and stuff (Reki feels insecure about Langa still wanting him after the adrenaline wears off). It's very tender and features confessions and the like.

just read my lips (they’re pretty loose) is a fic that takes place a little in the future. Langa and Miya are professional skaters and they're back from Tokyo for a visit. The basic story is that Reki has a praise kink and won't tell Langa, so in trying to figure it out, he asks every single member of the main cast. Most of them figure it out before him. Poor Reki, the secret's out. This fic is just full of details that scream love for every character and the whole show, and it's the first SK8 fic I ever fell in love with.

Honorifics is a fic about Langa hearing Reki call him Langa-kun to his sisters and deciding he wants to hear him say that all the time. Featuring adorably flustered Reki who can't take Langa's direct form of communication. (This one is actually locked behind needing an account, if you don't have an account, DM me and I'll send you a PDF.)

the most wonderful night of the year is an amazing fic about Reki thinking that Langa asked him out for Christmas Eve when Langa really just meant it like asking him over for dinner with his family. Cultural differences. Oops. Confessions and just a dash of homophobia to make it hurt and you've got yourself genuinely one of my favorite fics of all time.

How to Get Away With Topping is a really funny fic about Langa being a pillow princess and Reki thinking himself into knots trying to get Langa to be more dominant even though they're both happy with the way things are. (He's convinced himself that Langa must want to top. He doesn't.) I really like the details in this fic like Reki knowing that everyone must assume Langa tops just based off of how they look and act, and just a smidge of sexism and homophobia feels very realistic (I don't even know if those parts where on purpose but the point stands).

Sorry for taking so long on this one anon, but I hope you like them! Let me know what you think of them on anon or in dms!! Come yell with me about SK8!

Ricordare

When Kaoru was eight years old, he knew, somehow, that he and Kojiro would be friends forever. Not much had changed since then. They'd spent nearly two decades bickering, traveling the world, establishing their careers, and patching each other up every time they fell: out of love, or off their skateboards.

They were friends. That'd always be true, no matter what else happened in their lives.

It'd never occurred to Kaoru that they could be anything more—that the incredible, warm-hearted, muscle-brained, frequently irritating man who'd spent nearly twenty years by his side might've been in love with him all along.

[atlaskrr]

Fics from random fandoms I fell in love with:

Ittorou fic with tons of ear pets, misunderstandings and pining

A zhongchi hanahaki fic that gets dragged on through the power of poor communication

A wholesome rannett fic about wolf habits that lead to one of my fav headcanons

A xingyun aged up fic that comes with fake marrige and years of pining come free with the deal

A kavehtham sickfic with high levels of caffeine, vomiting and alhaitham caring for kaveh

A hotwings fic that includes migranes, dabi caring for hawks, then hawks caring for dabi

144k+ words of pining from the 2 sk8 dads who just can't get it together (comes with hilarious fake dating competition free)

A sweet, hurt comfort, flower husbands fic with traumatized jimmy and protective scott

A sad sbi fic about @bus3 with dream being a dick and good brother techno and dead brother wilbur (WARNING EMOTIONAL)

A superhero, supervillain, vigilante au sbi fic with morally grey characters (my fav) and tons of found family, tears and heartfelt moments

(A realisation that has absolutely nothing to do with Ambassador Sokka - shut up, Suki.) Katara and Aang have broken up again, and the Northern Water Tribe are pushing for a match between the North and South. Which leads Zuko and Katara to develop a genius, foolproof, only slightly drunken plan: they can pretend to date for the length of Katara’s stay in the palace, giving them both a brief reprieve from political pressures on their love lives. What could go wrong?

Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist Title: Serenade Author: akaparalian Pairing: Edward Elric/Roy Mustang Rating: General Word Count: 3,271 Summary: There’s no hurry to return to reality tonight, Roy thinks, laying his cheek against Ed’s head.

Atsumu’s in line for a postgame meet-and-greet like one of those idol fans, only it’s for volleyball players so is that worse? better?, clutching a HINATA 21 jersey so it could get signed. He’d hesitated, ya know? Thought maybe, oh, what if he’d picked Iizuna’s jersey instead, he’s on the team and actually a setter, even, wouldn’t that have made more sense?

You know what that means, right? Your color is gold, Atsumu-san. Even the fates think of you as their star.

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: Sleeping Together (in the euphemistic sense) Author: Esselle Pairing: Kageyama Tobio/Ushijima Wakatoshi Rating: Explicit Word Count: 5,341 Summary: “Kageyama Tobio,” Wakatoshi said. In the seat across from him, his setter looked up from where he’d been glaring at the menu. “I should inform you—I invited you to dinner in order to seduce you.” “Oh,” Kageyama said. He folded the menu to give Wakatoshi his full attention. It reminded Wakatoshi of the moments just before he decided who to toss to during a game. “Thank you for telling me.” – No one is more surprised than Ushijima and Kageyama to realize that they are, in fact, dating.

Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: Better Late Than Never Author: Esselle Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Kageyama Tobio/Sugawara Koushi Rating: Explicit Word Count: 8,054 Series: Part 1 of Better Late Than Never (Words: 22,620 - Works: 5) Summary: ’ “Excuse me,” Shouyou says, sounding frustrated. “When exactly did Kageyama get all sexy?” “What’s that supposed to mean?” Tobio demands. “You used to be all weird and awkward and now you’re like all—guh and unnngh and stuff!” “I have never made either of those sounds in my life,” Tobio deadpans. “Yes, you have,” Koushi says.

Fandom: Haikyuu!!Title: Beach House Author: spideywhiteys  Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Miya Atsumu Rating: Explicit Word Count: 7669 Summary: Atsumu falls in love with Shouyou the same way he falls in love with volleyball. Immediately, suddenly, and obsessively. It just takes him a lot longer to accept, especially in a world where loving a man could end his career.

So he loves in secret, in the remote quiet of his head and over the long distance separating him and Hinata Shouyou, a man who probably doesn’t think of Atsumu at all. He dreams of a future he’s not sure he can ever have.

Rating: Teen

You know what they say: the best way to figure out that you’re in love with your best friend is to watch them fall in love with someone else.

Title: The Tie That Binds

Author: beelligerence

Rating: Teen

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 25,069

Summary:

Kojiro opens the door and looks around into the quiet street, frowning. It’s empty of life, no person in sight; the few other shops and restaurants located on the same street having long been closed by this time. He does hear some slight rustling, but it’s the small cooing noise that brings his attention downwards to the wicker basket left on the doorstep of Sia la luce. He slowly squats down so that he is closer to the baby occupying the basket.

“Hey there, sweetheart,” he says, his voice quiet so as not to disturb the little one. He reaches his arm over and grasps a tiny hand between his thumb and forefinger. “Where did you come from?”

Kojiro smiles gently as he picks up the basket and heads back indoors. He softly closes the door behind him and when he turns back into the restaurant, Kaoru is much closer to him leaning up against a nearby table.

“What’s—” Kaoru’s eyes widen when he sees the baby. “Uh, where did that come from?”

Or: fellas, is it gay to raise a baby with your best friend?

---

Title: Sunkissed

Author: bitterheart

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 53,604

Summary:

Kaoru misses Kojiro more than he misses Okinawa. He misses the easy smiles, the solid warmth of Kojiro by his side. Even if he doesn't miss the way his chest aches when he'd look too long, or when he thinks too hard about everything he wants, and knows that he can't have.

Kaoru is hopelessly in love. Every time he tries to get over Kojiro and distract himself with something else, he only ends up falling deeper.

---

Title: The History of Love

Author: crinklefries

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 167,051

Summary:

As they walk around the curve of the shimmering, black lake—walk toward the curved beams of the golden shrine and Kojiro, standing there, patiently waiting for him—Kaoru thinks: he has been ready for this longer than he could possibly have known. He has loved and longed and wished for this person, his entire life.

It had just taken him longer than anticipated to realize it.

Kaoru lets Kojiro get away once. Luckily, that’s not the end of their story.

---

Title: i thought i was dreaming

Author: DFP

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 12,263

Summary:

What he has is this: Kojiro’s undivided attention in the small hours just after his restaurant closes, his idiotic presence at his back when they skate, the comfort and agony of his gentle, thoughtless touches.

It would be unimaginably mortifying to be mooning over Nanjo Kojiro, so Kaoru refuses to.

---

Title: how good it feels to have your love

Author: DFP

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 9,000

Summary:

Kojiro had insisted on moving in either shamefully early or woefully late, depending on how you measured things, because their schedules are so out of sync they might as well live in different time zones.

So Kojiro had given him a ring, maybe 20% as a joke (okay, twist his arm, 0%), and Kaoru had been a dick about it but eventually let Kojiro move in with him, and then he filed their taxes together and that was that.

Happily ever after.

Title: can i try again, try again, try again

Author: fromeden

Rating: Teen

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 4,952

Summary:

“You’re late,” Kaoru states frigidly, once Kojiro is close enough, nose high in the air. He doesn’t dare look at him and his… companion.

“Sorry,” Kojiro says, his tone drowning in smugness. His companion giggles. Kaoru can tell he’s grinning — unapologetically, shamelessly — without sneaking a glace, and the pebble nested in the pit of his stomach makes itself known again. “Time slipped away from us. Ah, you know how it is, Cherry.”

Us. Kaoru wants to retch. And he does not, in fact, know how it is.

(or, five times kojiro is at ‘s’ with someone on his arm, and one time that someone is kaoru.)

Title: baby, you're my open road

Author: marks

Rating: Teen

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 5,786

Summary:

"Where have you been?" Kaoru asks when he rolls into S after two. "You look like shit."

"I look disheveled." Kojiro runs a hand through his hair and doesn't bother tugging his jacket up over his shoulders again. "Maybe you should try getting laid once in a while, see the difference for yourself."

There's a glint in Kaoru's eyes at that, one that Kojiro hasn't seen since the accident on the curvy road over by the rest stop, the one that happened two days before Adam flew halfway around the world. His eyes stand out even more when he wears his Cherry Blossom mask, making what's already beautiful into goddamned artwork. "Maybe some of us are just more discerning."

"Funny way of saying virgin," Kojiro says and grins dangerously when Kaoru grabs him by the pendant he gave Kojiro for his sixteenth birthday. Kojiro hasn't taken it off in over a year.

Kojiro always does whatever it takes to keep Kaoru in his life.

Summary:

Because Kojiro is so nice during sex.

He'll choke Kaoru on his dick but call him sweetheart. Will prop Kaoru's hips up on a pillow and hold his hands while he eats him out until he cries. He's just like that and it's getting harder and harder for Kaoru to pretend that they're just best friends who get each other off. Kaoru has loved Kojiro since he knew it was possible.

Summary:

No kisses. They agreed on that. Kojiro's sometimes a little shit about it, but Kaoru has to insist. It's the only thing that keeps him sane throughout all of this—whatever this is.

Kaoru is not cut out to be Kojiro's sex friend. But here they are.

Let Boys Be Soft (and Men Too)

For what seems the first time in forever, he looks at Reki. He looks like a stranger. He looks like someone Reki could grow to be (and isn't that terrifying?)

He looks like he doesn't know what to say to his own son.

The man called Dad hesitates, hand twitching (for the car or for Reki?)

Then he turns away and murmurs, "Don't cry, son. Tears are for the weak. Men don't cry."

Those are the last words he says before he drives off, leaving Reki behind in the driveway.

It's hard knowing how to be a good person with a busy mom, a dad who left you, and an awkward stepdad. Or Reki tries his best and the lessons he learns from father-figures, brother-figures, and dear friends along the way. Threeshot

Collared

by ninamyyly

When Langa moves to Okinawa with his mom, he's not expecting much. But then, on his first day of school, he meets the cutest Omega, whose scent draws him in and who makes him feel alive again.

The only problem is that the Omega is collared. And seems to have a very possessive Alpha already. But Langa may be too far gone to let that stop him.

-

Not me binging Sk8 the Infinity in a day so I could finally figure out what the omega verse boom of them was... I had fun. They are very cute characters.
