Hanamaki: *hysterical wheezing* Matsukawa: He knows it's infertile, right? Iwaizumi: If it makes him happy...

Update for this ~ They are having an egg 🥚🐉

In this AU, all dragon genders can lay eggs—it's just something that happens when they start building a nest with a trusted partner. Young dragons lay 4-6 infertile eggs before they have the process figured out and can make eggs that actually hatch something. "Test eggs" are very potent ingredients for potions and also a delicacy—Iwaizumi, Matsukawa and Hanamaki want to make an omelet, Oikawa wants to be extra and show it off to everyone.

Oikawa: This is my boyfriend Iwa-Chan, he is very tiny, cute and soft. Iwa: ...

The "draw concept art for your stories to cover up the fact you aren't writing them"-disease has reached my Urban Fantasy University AU. So have some dragon-shifter Iwaizumi and undead Oikawa 🐉🫀

Thank you for the tag~ Please tell me more about/show me more of How not to be an immortal 101 with Oikawa Tooru! It sounds super fun! ^o^

ahshs okay, so I need to see that I don't start rambling about that one XD It's an IwaOi spin-off to my TsukkiYama Urban Fanstasy University AU. Also mini TW for gore and death to be safe.

Essentially Oikawa was born during the Copper Age, though his tribe is betrayed and he gets murdered on his wedding night by his own fiancé. But because Oikawa is Oikawa he refuses to accept his death and resurrects himself out of sheer pettiness, ending up as an undead spirit of vengeance who feeds on the hearts of the living. Queue to Oikawa just... stumbling through history and finding himself in all kinds of places until he meets a half-dragon hatchling (Iwa) and due to a lack of alternatives decides to start life over (again).

Result: Oikawa Tooru, accidentally immortal, Mayan deity, bane of the Roman Empire, inventor of the great pyramids and parttime Oracle of Delphi, follows his boyfriend to university to study architecture and discovers that his entire life experience of ~8k years is practically useless. Because none of it could have prepared him for dealing with a creative slump on his design assignment, Ushijima following him around campus and pestering him to join Shiratorizawa fraternity and Hanamaki continuously stealing his glasses because he's too lazy to go buy his own pair.

So long things short ~ lots of uni shenanigans and Seijoh 4 being dorks, with a good pinch of yee old angst and relationship drama + some urban fantasy magic and mystery spice 👀

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?

Preview:

“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!
