The Peculiar Case Of Tadashi Yamaguchi
The peculiar case of Tadashi Yamaguchi
Fandom: Haikyuu (My contribution for the @hqurbanfantasybang) Type: Chaptered (3/3 - 40.1k words total) // Urban Fantasy AU ; University AU Focus: Unknown Species!Yamaguchi (Yamaguchi/Kuro/Bokuto friendship/support/mentorship) Ships: TsukiYama, BokuAka, KuroKen, IwaOi & DaiSuga; implied LevYaku, UshiTen, KageHina & MatsuHana Rating: Mature (descriptions of blood and injuries & explicit language)
Summary: Tadashi Yamaguchi has problems. As in: A lot. People can't stop reminding him that he smells tasty and they'd like to eat him. His best friend and he are indirectly responsible for burning down their previous university. He can't figure out how to stop turning orange whenever he's nervous, keeps hitting his antlers on the lintel and the lion's tail growing out his back seems to have developed a mind of its own. Oh, and of course there is that cute but grouchy med student vampire living across the hall who he is crushing on hard but doesn't have the courage to ask out! On top of everything he now has to transfer to a new uni and try to survive campus chaos. Luckily, a pixie with chronic bed-hair and a shapeshifter who transforms into a duck rather than an owl whenever he's upset, decide to take him on and teach Tadashi some confidence. Inbetween mysterious mentors, headless centaurs, annoyed dragons, hungry werewolves, kickboxing archangels, literal gods and sassy half-ghosts he isn't quite sure if they are actually helping his increasing anxiety attacks, but hey... it's the effort that counts, isn't it?

“So, tomorrow is the big day, isn’t it?” Yachi asks and Tadashi takes a sip of tea.
There is nothing better than a witch’s homemade tea, even if the blonde’s speciality is time-based magic and not herbology.
“Yeah,” he nods and shudders.
“You got this!” she reassures him, but her own hands clench nervously around her cup as she goes on, “I mean Central is a big uni with lots of people - you can blend into the herd and nobody will notice you, that’s good, isn’t it? It has to be good!”
“I hope you are right,” Tadashi sighs. “I still wish I could have joined your uni” - ‘If only it wasn’t a damn expensive, super fancy, private one!’
The two of them met about a year ago, in the bathroom of another uni out of town. Both of them had been invited to an application interview and both of them had been so nervous they needed to throw up. Eventually, they bonded over rinsing their mouths at the uni-sex sinks. When Tadashi was in need of a place to live, Yachi volunteered to vouch for him with her landlord who owned several flats in this building, the one he is living in now included and since it’s one of the smallest it’s surprisingly affordable.
It’s not like his family is poor, they get by quite well, but Tadashi doesn’t want to be a financial burden on his mothers any more than he already is, since his tendency to attract trouble in combination with his non-existent self-confidence has gotten him either denied or fired from every job he’s had so far.
“Me too - then I wouldn’t be so alone in my design classes anymore,” she frowns into her cup. “But doesn’t Tsukishima-San goes to Central as well? Maybe you could stick to him and - oh”
From the look on his face, she must have deducted that plan already went down the drain - rather spectacularly if he might say so. Yachi is well aware of Tadashi’s crush on the blond vampire. He appreciates her attempts to help and her encouragements every time he gets flat out ignored in his attempts to organise something that could count as a date if you just squint hard enough!

Never Change A Running System
Fandom: Haikyuu (My contribution to the @ngczine) Type: Short-Story (5.1k words) / Canon-Compliant Focus: Next Generation Seijoh Ships: no explicit mentions (but feel free to imagine the classics) Rating: General/Teen Up (for occasional swearing)
Summary: Watari is starting to think something went wrong when all the new first years are coming to him instead of Yahaba - but maybe, considering that his best friend is busy taming a certain Mad Dog, the underclassmen’s fear is justified.
Or: A story about how Yahaba, and with him all of Seijoh, struggles to fill out some big footprints

New Chapter of ‘An Anthem to Time’ is out - sorry for the long wait, I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 6 - A little bit of both
Summary: The pace picks up and the puzzle of the past begins to unfold.

Have a taste, click this.
Hanamaki rarely thinks about what he does, it has always been like that. He is simply an instinct kind of guy.
What he says, what he does, it all follows the impulse his guts give him. Even in court, he never starts a trial with a plan. He likes to see how the mood swings and then just go with the flow, steer his boat into the current that will get him closest to his goals.
That is how he has managed to earn an outstanding reputation as a lawyer, how he never disappoints and never gets disappointed. If you don’t have a fix goal, you can’t miss it!
Especially in his youth, people have criticized him for lacking both spine and motivation and to be totally honest: They were right.
Takahiro isn’t ambitious, he isn’t high-flying and he certainly isn’t pretentious. But that doesn’t mean he can’t be sharp, intelligent or determined.
In fact, he is very determined right now!
“Come on”, he grunts out, putting all his bodyweight into the push.
“This tickles”, Iwaizumi smirks, that arrogant ashole.
“Fu.. fuck you, Hajime”
“Are you even trying?”
Hanamaki chooses not to spit into his face and rather concentrate on breathing.
“This is ridiculous”, he can’t help but whine all but a minute later.
“God, I am getting so horny”, Oikawa has the nerve to bite down on his knuckles. Suga gracefully decides to put his hand over their friends eyes.
“Then think of something gross”, he informs him.
“Like what?”
“Dead animals? How your bleach rails smell in the morning?”, Issei offers and gives his pan an expert swing. The onions fizzle and Hanamaki has to gag.
“Please just shut up”, he whimpers, the muscles in his biceps about to burst. He is going to leave one hell of a gorry splatter on Issei’s couch.
“Then hurry and get this over with, Wok is almost done”, his partner calls over.
“With tuna?”, Iwaizumi turns his head towards the kitchen.
“Yes”
“Fuck yeah”, and with his face brightening up like a six year old’s, who has just been given permission to have unlimited candy for an entire week, Iwaizumi slams his hand into the table, like Hanamaki, putting all his effort into fending him off, isn’t even there and declares: “I’m starving!”
Takahiro groans and collapses over his weak and sore arm.
Yes, he follows his instinct but that by no means equals being calm and structured, like some people assume. No, most of the times it gets him into stupid, messy and fucking glorious situations. Like not being able to beat his friend at armwrestling in over 16 years and still not being able to give it up.

Masterpost for my IwaOi centric Haikyu Royalty/Fantasy-AU fanfiction “All the King’s Blades”
-> Read on AO3 HERE
Up Next: Chapter 2 || Status: *I really, really swear I am working on it, okay >.<’’*
The man allowed his eyes to travel across the land unknown to him. The revival of a gifted dynasty, the awakening of an angel, the birth of a healthy demonic halfling and the rising whispers between the trees and the wind. So many centuries after his own kind had been hunted and banished from these lands - Magic was returning to Miyagi. And no one could foresee what would follow it
After their daring coup d'etat and ascending the throne of Aoba Johsai, Iwaizumi believes him and Oikawa deserve a little break. But the universe doesn't seem to be willing to grant them one. From Prince Tobio hitting puberty, a rapidly rising Karasuno and tensions in all of Miyagi, to owls and cats messing with them - and in between trying to stay alive and together, the past is catching up to them.
This fanfiction was inspired by @findingschmomo‘s amazing work “And All the Prince’s Men” and can be considered a continuation of their story, although by now I have fallen so in love with it, I created a whole ton of my own lore around the scenario they created. I highly advise reading their work first, so you know the character dynamic and also because it is freaking amazing, but I guess with a little bit of headwork you don’t necessarily have to.
Additional contents:
Map of Miyagi (+ Continental Lore)
High Council Chambers (Scenery Art) Ten Prayers (Landscape/Scenery Art)
Sanctum of Kings—Temple of Death (Suga + Karasuno lore) The Torch Carrier (more Suga)
Coats of Arms (+ Lore on individual Nations) - Karasuno & Aoba Johsai - Dateko & Shiratorizawa - Nekoma & Fukurodani
Character Designs (+ Lore on Characters and Mythology) - Oikawa & Iwaizumi - Suga & Daichi - Kageyama & Hinata

sorry it’s just a sketch, im just very tired
A while back I read the truly amazing Haikyuu fan fiction And All the Prince’s Men by @findingschmomo.
And ever since, I had the inane desire to continue and expand the universe they created. So recently I asked and they gave me permission to do so and while I am currently trying to focus on my own works I really really want to put my ideas into writing some time.
But to let off some creative steam in the mean time (and because my obligatory English classes are really freaking boring) I decided to sketch out my ideas for the kingdom banners/coats of arms and outline some head canons.
-> Batch 2: Dateko & Shiratorizawa -> Batch 3: Nekoma & Fukurodani
-> AU Masterpost
More Info below the cut:
Aoba Johsai: - “Rule a Court of Thorns” - Willow Tree, Sword and Gemstones on turquoise and white ground - Main export: Jewelry, Flowers, Agricultural Products - Strong country with a lot of influence in Miyagi - Famous for their military strength - Aoba Johsai is the cultural center of the Miyagi continent and has been for centuries - due to the strong influence from travelers and scholars they are a rather scientific country without a common or state religion and rather many little scattered churches and temples
Karasuno: - “Rise, Fly High & Fight” - Three crows, crossed torches on black and orange ground - Main export: Quills, Meat Buns, Crow Steel (one of the rarest metals in Miyagi, said to have arcane qualities) - One of the smallest kingdoms on the Miyagi continent, lately rising rapidly in strength - Has a long and deep reaching relation to the arcane and religion, wich mainly focuses around the figure of death (thus the crossed torches, a common symbol for a gateway to the realm of the dead)
So I already apologize for the crappy lineart and my horrible handwriting but as I said I made those during courses and well yeah ^-^'’ Hope you like them, maybe I will make some more for the other “Important” players (being Shiratorizawa, Dateko, Fukurodani and Nekoma) - tell me if you’re interested.
