Welcome to another installment of FIC REC FRIDAY here at imagine-that-haikyuu! Each Friday, I’ll recommend two or three Haikyuu!! fics I’ve read over the week as recommended by you (or anything I read on my own) and include some of my thoughts about each fic. This is just one way to support fellow writers and get the word out about their works!
My hope is that you read the fics in each post, leave comments/reblogs/kudos/likes for them, send them to your friends, all that good stuff. The best way to let writers know you like what they’re doing is to do those things after all. I know it’s what I’ll be doing as I read through them.
I’m thankfully not late this time, but the fics are on the shorter side again this week (a lot has been going on both at work and my personal life, and reading has not been a priority). Plus, some of the multi-chaptered fics recommended are longer, and I want to either catch up to where they are currently or finish them completely before writing up my thoughts from now on.

If you have a Haikyuu!! fic you know or have written yourself that you want to see featured on a FIC REC FRIDAY post, drop the link in our inbox or in the replies. I’m always looking for more to read!

Pairing(s): DaiYui
Thoughts: I’m glad I’m getting recommendations for Yui-centric fics because Yui is such a cutie and I don’t see much love for her going around. This piece in particular is a great read in how Daichi is characterized. I feel like in general (myself included), we forget that he has his moments of immaturity even though we know him to be a stable, guiding force for Karasuno. This fic exemplifies this perfectly: Yui gets to see that vulnerability from him, which is important for her to know considering they’re paired here. That and it’s just an overall well-written, introspective piece.

Pairing(s): Ukai/Reader
Thoughts: Hooooo. Hooooooooooooo. I always gotta fan myself with this one. Be advised that it’s very NSFW, which is why I love it. It’s one of my ultimate Ukai fantasies and find my way back to this fic a lot. Momo is a fantastic writer and I’ve read a good deal of her reader-inserts, and this one definitely takes the cake for me.
These are both fantastic!!
