Title: Tokyo Babylon AU URL:from BR2: alternate universe. Creator(s):psiten Rating: T Major Tags: spoilers for the end of tokyo babylon, angst. kageyama tobio/oikawa tooru. Why is this work awesome?: there’s a real sense of heightened drama here that i love *__*; it’s very sad, and very? tragic to see kageyama follow a path i’m yelling at him not to take LOL hsdfhf psiten always puts out great work but this is a real stunner, and the X/1999 hook just brought back everything for me. it functions as a really good fusion, too: the inherent laws of the borrowed universe are still in place, the character interactions are still intact, and that impending sense of doom is really really well-represented throughout !!! pls. break your heart with this :’)

Title: cat in the hat au URL:from BR2: alternate universe. Creator(s):ennoshita Rating: G Major Tags: no content warnings apply. crack. tsukishima brothers & kuroo tetsurou. Why is this work awesome?: ree i’m sorry but i mean i’m also really not because this made me laugh so hard i think i broke a rib or two. i lost it at you’re not even a cat because never in my wildest dreams did i think that 1) someone would fill this 2) would fill it so well 3) be the dw user ennoshita. every piece of dialogue here is something that’s entirely believable, and the kuroo’s internal monologue was so funny !!! i was just. kind of dying with him by laughing at him. 10/10 would read again.

Title: call me maybe, baby URL:from BR13: fst. Creator(s):vdt Rating: G Major Tags: no content warnings apply. iwaizumi hajime/oikawa tooru. Why is this work awesome?: this is, in three precise panels, everything i love about iwaoi. look at how Done iwa-chan looks. look at how impressed oikawa is with himself. if i could, i would tattoo iwa-chan’s expression on my face for i am as equally Done with him. lmao but really, the way the comic is presented, the way the joke is laid out, it’s pretty genius ^^v

Title: untitled URL:from BR3: fst. Creator(s):momoshiro Rating: G Major Tags: no content warnings apply. werewolves. miragen. Why is this work awesome?: honestly sometimes you think about alternate universes and half the joy is seeing if those character dynamics you love remain the same. in this case, it’s definitely that--it’s even better since the subversion kind of sneaks up on you. also i mean the basukes are so weird would it really surprise you if they were werewolves?? jfc

Title: “this is an intervention” URL:from BR3: fst. Creator(s):chiharu Rating: G Major Tags: no content warnings apply. iwaizumi hajime/oikawa tooru. Why is this work awesome?: hey, so, this fill hurt me a lot actually and i was incoherent for a while about it because there is nothing in this world that cuts to me so quickly like emoshinki. also chiharu does, as always, her best with dialogue so in-character it makes me angry. it does. look at how believable these lines are?? but it’s also more than banter, there’s a depth to this fill here that just pulls you in that i love. also i’d like to point out here the minami-chan character who has a backstory so detailed and great that i’m going to start pulling my hair out

Why is this work awesome?: hoLD THE PHONE. STOP THE CLOCKS. this fill destroyed me in a way that i never saw coming. every single word in here is well-crafted in its placement and every single phrase ripped me apart in its emotional intensity. holy. i dropped my phone and screamed into my hands when i read it. are there people in your life so talented it infuriates you??? does oikawa love or hate kageyama tobio?????? u g h im like exhausted just reading this fill again because it takes so much from me. this kind of poetry takes a physical toll on me, and i would rather be punched. why does it hurt so much? why is it so good? aghghghh
