This hospital au revolving around Akaashi and Bokuto’s budding relationship is truly heartbreaking, to say the least.

That being said, it honestly did such a number on me that I think it deserves the hype. T, 22 k words, cw: terminal illness, hospitals, major character deathĪs the highest-rated Haikyuu fanfic on ao3, this work is a monument and will go down in Haikyuu history. I loved to watch love bloom for Akaashi in the cracks of his tumultuous life, because he deserves everything <333 I feel sometimes that heavy topics such as the trauma from sex work are really misrepresenting in fanfiction, but the author does a great job of portraying it in a real way and not romanticizing it at all. This darker fic follows Akaashi as he deals with his life as a prostitute, and how Bokuto comes in and is able to change it for the better. Highly recommend.Į, 60 k words, cw: prostitution, choking, and heavy content so READ THE TAGS It is worth every kudos, comment, bookmark, and more. I found that the characterization and the attention to detail the author put into the story is what made it a truly distinguishable and unique fic that allowed it to rise to the top. WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT? This fic is seriously novel-worthy, and Bokuto having Asperger’s is a beautiful component to the story. *contains nsfw fics* READ TAGS BEFORE U READĪccountant Akaashi. Comment the ones I missed, and I’m definitely going to be doing a part 2. For anyone new to the daunting world of Haikyuu fanfiction, these works are probably the most popular, talked-about works throughout the fandom, so they are a good place to start! I haven’t read some of these, but the reason I included them is that I’ve seen so much hype around them.

I was just thinking." Akaashi blinked slowly.I wanted to make a post to archive what I would call “The Classics” as far as Haikyuu fanfic on ao3 goes. "Why did you stop so suddenly? Are you alright?" "No, I don't think so." He brought his hand down to his side. "Is there something wrong with me standing here?" Akaashi asked sincerely. He understood how that would be alarming to some people. Perhaps he'd remained in the hall and watched as Akaashi had gone from a brisk walk to a sudden stop. It had been the same guy he'd almost bumped into. "Oh- you can move." He smiled in Akaashi's direction, bright yellow eyes catching his own. Their walking then slowed to a halt, and it was then that Akaashi had become aware of the new individual who'd invaded his personal space.įrom his peripheral, Akaashi could see their hand reaching out to him. Akaashi stared at his shoes.Īnother person walked by at a gradual pace at first, then slowed progressively as they drew near. He brought a hand up to push through his black hair, and slowly, his head fell forward. No one was bothered by him, so there he stood. He stood there, hesitant, uninterested, indifferent. People walked by him, around him, up and down the halls, to and fro, but no one seemed to notice him. Standing still, Akaashi remained in place for quite some time, his legs refusing to carry him further. His eyes stared forward, uninterested in the information desk several meters from him. An 'It's alright,' could be heard from behind him, but it soon faded as Akaashi continued forward. He circled around the male, apologizing flatly before he continued on. It would hurt if he did.Īkaashi closed his eyes and sighed, swaying absentmindedly in his step, opening his eyes just in time to swiftly avoid colliding with someone. Blatantly, he thanked her, and continued on his way, passing by several rooms as he did so. Pointing a finger down the hall, a small assistant nurse directed Akaashi to a different desk, one where he would be able to find more information on the subject. He was wasting time, asking for something that he did not want in the least. Akaashi was unhappy with where he was, unhappy with what it was that he was doing. He didn't care, nor did he think he would care in the near future.

But ultimately, they would urge him to carry out the task that had been pushed on him, and one way or another, he'd do it.Īsking around here and there, the male put little to no effort in finding out where he could go to sign up for what. Often times, however, Akaashi would disagree with his parents, unhappy with the suggestions they'd given him. Akaashi's parents were intent on having him intern in a hospital nearby, so that he could stockpile more things that would look good on his resume, for future purposes. It was a dreary place for him, a place he was not fond of, but a place he was obligated to visit. It had been some time since Akaashi set foot into that hospital.
