Summary
With no name and no future, Will Byers takes a job at the isolated Wheeler Manor, hired to tutor the family’s youngest daughter. He expects a quiet life in a house of stone and silver—completely oblivious to the fact that his education isn't the reason he was brought there.
But the North Wing is breathing.
There is a secret behind the door, something the family has kept starving for a century. Will was told to stay away from it, but in the dead of night, the house begins to whisper. And Will is the only one who knows how to listen.

Summary
“You want us to foster a kid?” Mike finally asks, disbelieving. Will is half convinced that El will laugh in their faces, clearing up the misunderstanding with a, “No, silly. I want you to water my plants.”
“It doesn’t have to be forever,” El says. “Just until I can find another home for him. I can’t stand him living in the shelter anymore. Not right now. He needs emotional support. And don’t lie to me— I know you two have been wanting kids. This can be a trial run.”
—
Will and Mike are tasked with fostering an emotionally distant, judgmental, sassy twelve-year-old boy from El’s shelter. As hard as they try to win his heart, they seem to be making no progress. After all, how could two strangers earn the trust of a boy who’s been hurt time and time again?

Read because:
1. Mason. So cute. So so cute.
2. You don’t understand. He’s like, the best kid ever! And his adopted parents are so in love with him.
3. Family dynamics. So mundane, so domestic, so… alive.
4. Mike is kinda awesome? Goofy awesome but still awesome? Father of the year. -

Summary
Mike stands a few feet away, shoulders squared, eyes locked on him with an intensity that makes Will’s breath catch. He looks nothing like the easy, grinning version he knows. This Mike is coiled tight, attention sharpened to a point, his presence radiating outward in a way that makes people instinctively give ground. For one wild second Will considers pretending he didn’t notice. He considers staying exactly where he is, letting the moment stand.
The loud growl answers that thought before he can act on it, and he feels it blaring in his ears despite the loud music. It’s low, controlled, furious in a way that doesn’t need volume.
The alpha in front of him freezes.

Summary
“I bet this cost an arm and a leg.”
“Yeah, it did.” Kenma sighs wistfully, and a cocky smile plays at the edges of his lips like he’s proud of the fact that he's shelling out so that Kuroo looks paid for. It makes Kuroo want to give him whatever he wants whenever he wants it. The moon? Deal. The crown jewels? Absolutely. Kuroo’s still beating and bloody heart in the palm of his hand? Done.
“And you don’t mind? Spending this kind of money on me?”
“I just like getting you nice things,” Kenma replies, his voice is quiet, almost like he’s talking to himself, “Is that so bad?”

Summary
Atsumu adjusts his mic stand and slings his guitar over his shoulder. The crowd’s cheers continue to fill the venue. Then, Kiyoomi watches as Atsumu raises a hand in the air. With a quick movement, he brings his fist down and, like magic, the crowd falls silent.
Kiyoomi scoffs at the display. “Does he think he’s Wagner?” he whispers to Motoya.
“It’s an Atsumu thing,” Motoya shrugs. “The Jackals have tons of fans despite being fairly new, and their groupies all know how to follow the rules. And Kiyo, your 19th century classical music references would fly over anyone else’s head, just so you know.”

Hmm. Don’t know what to make of this yet but loved the world building so far. Royalty, espionage, revenge, magic, rebellion, etx.
Nj as prince training to be king trying to stop the war, jk as his “adviser”, sj as spy/legatee and yg as part of the rebellion.
Nothing romantic so far but still fluffy.
… where are the comments?

Summary
“Christ,” Hanamaki says. “Just get your little hockey player to pretend he’s your boyfriend.”
Tooru sits up at that, tousled strands of hair falling into his flushed face. “Are you completely insane?”
“I think it’s a good plan,” Matsukawa says, unerringly loyal to the end. “You’re so smart, babe.”
“It’s an awful plan,” Tooru hisses. “What am I supposed to say? Sorry I’ve been actively antagonizing you and your team for a bit, please pretend to be my boyfriend to keep my career alive, and also if you notice I get hard when you’re near me, don’t pay it any mind, I just think you’re mega hot?”
“Not exactly like that,” Hanamaki says. “But yeah, that’s the gist of it.”Tooru hits a small snag on his path to Olympic gold medalling. It's more fun to resolve than anticipated.

Two Can Keep A Secret by smallestsenpai

Summary
Loid Forger is a man of routine. Granted, it’s not the neatest routine, given the fact that it’s held together by several cups of black coffee, sticky notes, and a rainbow of miscellaneous highlighters and pens, but it’s a routine nonetheless.
College can be challenging as it is, but even moreso when secrets are involved.

Summary
From Osamu's crush on Suna to Bokuto's devotion to Akaashi, Atsumu learns of the many ways people showcase their feelings towards the people they love the most, and the meanings behind the shine their eyes hold when looking at their significant other. He's always been certain such concepts don't apply to him, not when volleyball takes precedence over anything else. That is, until he meets Sakusa Kiyoomi.

Read because:
1. It’s beautiful fic. Atsumu is generous and a sweetheart to all.
2. Not much romance but I like that what they have is quiet romance as opposed to the usual explosive SakuAtsu. They know their priorities and they work with it. It’s… refreshing.
3. People assume that it’s Atsumu who started the “Omi-kun” but i’ve always thought that it can only be Bokuto who can get away with things like that. (Agaaaashee) Nice to see that reflected here. 🤣 -

Summary
Akaashi Keiji has a list.
And it's not just any 'list', it's a University Survival Guide he lives by religiously. All just to avoid getting sucked into the vortex of madness the typical university life brings about.
But Akaashi's survival plans get uprooted with one major yet baffling event: the rigging of student's representative elections.
(In which: Akaashi understands campus politics better than anyone should. Somehow, he drags his friends into his mess and executes a student's version of a coup.)

5. Poor Kuroo. 🤣Not really romance, more gossip and shenanigans but it was a fun fic! You can almost see it all go down. Loooool.
6. Poor Keiji. But he “won” in the end so. I mean, I can use me a Bokuto too. 🤣 -

Summary
“I doubt I would let you kiss me if I were completely sober.”
“Hey!” Atsumu protests, and then, in a godsent moment of clarity, “Ya were the one who kissed me first!”
Sakusa considers this, and his nose wrinkles. It would be cute if he weren’t insufferable. (Oh, who’s Atsumu kidding, he’s cute anyways.) “I doubt I would kiss you if I were completely sober,” he amends.
Or, in which Sakusa and Atsumu sleep together on the day of Bokuto's wedding, and then learn how to navigate the maze of their feelings together.

Summary
Atsumu has always been weak to Kita (a sentiment shared by his brother and Sunarin). It doesn’t help when he owes his career to the man who practically held his hand through the marine biology degree, as he couldn't even tell salmon and tuna apart unless they were presented to him as sashimi.
So when Kita makes a fateful phone call and ropes their trio into a mission whereby they have to stop a monster from terrorising a local lake, Atsumu expects an overgrown fish. A fish with hands, if that makes it any better. Certainly not the creature thought to only exist in tragic fairy tales and the fantasies of touch-starved sailors who find solace in sea cows.
Good thing the creature doesn’t seem to mind Atsumu too much—Osamu not finding his dead body at the bottom of the lake is an encouraging start.
Everything’s peachy, he guesses. Except that falling for his new acquaintance has never been on Atsumu's agenda.
Things become complicated when your love interest has an entirely distinct set of limbs from hips down, makes noises that only Aquaman can understand, and considers offering regurgitated fish to be the pinnacle of romance.

Summary
Kiyoomi was never one for social media. The idea of broadcasting his life online never appealed to him; he found it too superficial and inane, and he saw how it fueled the insecurities and envy in those around him. But then Motoya convinces him to start posting on Instagram, and with each picture he takes, he falls more in love with the city of Osaka—and a certain blond-haired setter.

2. No fuss, no drama queen Atsumu, no snarky germaphobe Sakusa, no unnecessary scenes. Lol. Just pure fluff of two people who like each other.
3. Read when you want something light and happy.
4. I like this Sakusa. He’s prickly but ... content? 🤣 I need to find myself more fics of this characterization. -

Summary
"I was telling Shouyou about this article I read last weekend. It's all facts, they conducted a study,” Inunaki said, turning around and meeting Atsumu’s eyes in the mirror. “It says you can’t sleep with someone multiple times without catching feelings. It even says if you sleep with one person five times, it means you're already in love with them.”
Saying that the world had stopped spinning would be an understatement. Atsumu felt the moment his soul left his body while he stood there in front of the mirror, his reflection gaping back at him in horror. In his peripheral vision, he saw Kiyoomi freeze, phone slipping out of his hand, the object tumbling in slow motion before meeting the floor with a dull but resounding thump.

Summary
“Sakusa Kiyoomi,” Grunts Sakusa. He still hasn’t shaken Atsumu’s hand. Someone sniggers from his back, and Atsumu doesn’t need to turn around to recognize that it’s Osamu. Well, fine. He started with the whole being an asshole thing, now he has an excuse. He relents and lets his hand drop.
Or:
Atsumu already has a lot on his plate, like killing people, beating up people, the same ol' drill. The last thing he needs is to be partnered with a germaphobe asshole who refuses to shake his hand. If he wasn't that hot even with his mask on, Atsumu would've shot him ages ago.Fucking Sakusa Kiyoomi.

Bookmarker's Notes
Read because:
1. I know that there’s already a definitive Yakuza AU in the SakuAtsu fandom but this is just as amazing but .... in/of a different flavor?
2. The Miya twins relationship is very brotherly. They do their own thing but at the end of the day, they’re family. (So far) 🥺 I really liked that. No leaving the other in the dark. Even the Suna-Atsu “friendship” is recognized and explored a little.
3. The SakuAtsu is good because they’re friendly. Omi isn’t written as difficult and Tsumu isn’t gratingly obnoxious. (But i’m not necessarily in here for the romance, I went in for the adventure! 🤣)
4. Kuroo is amazing. Oikawa is even more amazing. Kita is heart breaking. Tendou is fun. The entire of Nekoma is competent. Shirabu should be friend of the year awardee. Komori is a sweetheart and don’t even talk to me about Iizuna.
5. I love they we’ve yet to see other “factions”. I can just imagine Bokuto and Ushi as leaders. Daichi too. Hopefully. Hirugami?
6. Minimal morality issues. Just Yakuza and Yakuza related issues. No “innocent” casualties.
7. It’s just a fun read! 🤣 And I like the author’s extra little notes.
8. I can read a Miya Twins establishing their own faction fic with Samu as the Tsumu shadow king. Just saying. 🤣 -

Summary
Sakusa—calm, methodical, dark-eyed, shrewd Sakusa—is different. Sakusa walked into the gym with his blunt mannerisms, his refusal to take bullshit, his incredible skill, his unerring kindness, and Atsumu was gone for him. And as they only grew closer, spent more time together rooming for away games, going shopping together, going out for lunch and dinner, Atsumu felt that maybe, Sakusa felt the same.And there’s the danger with Sakusa. Atsumu feels with him a vulnerability he hasn’t felt with anyone else. Because if Atsumu’s want is an animal, Sakusa’s is a surgical knife shrouded in shadow—unseen, but piercing and targeted when Atsumu’s guard is down the most, anaesthetized by the absolute force of his own desire.
In which Sakusa confesses, and Atsumu struggles with the animal in his chest.
