Kat's Ultimate MUST READ All time Favorite Ushiten Fic Rec Extravaganza
I don't know what it is about these two that has me in a chokehold, but I'm so in love with their relationship. I love a good weirdo x weirdo dynamic, and Ushiten checks off all the boxes for me. I feel as though I've read every single Ushiten fic on Ao3, and so I figured I'd put all of my favorites together in one list for easy access. I've read all the fics below multiple times, and yet they continuously haunt me because of how well written they are.
Canon High School Fics:
1. An Unremarkable Proposal
It's a completely unremarkable Thursday afternoon, and Tendou would have been happy passing the day making out with his boyfriend and never remembering a single thing about it. You know, if Ushijima hadn't suddenly declared that he wanted to marry him.
2. For Luck
the squeeze of a shoulder before a match becomes the brush of hands becomes the soft whisper of lips on a cheek becomes the wet warmth of lips sliding against lips.
“For luck.”
Or, the lie that the kisses are for luck can only last so long.
3. Tending to a Wounded Heart
"Now, Iwaizumi-san, while I am flattered by your interest and must admit you’re very attractive, I must inform you my heart belongs to another, and I’m not sure your dear captain Oikaw-“ Satori wasn’t even able to finish his jest, as a fuming Iwaizumi interrupted him. A blush blooming from his hairline down to his neck.
“I’M NOT HITTING ON YOU, DUMBASS!”
...
After being discovered in the midst of breakdown in the bathroom of Seijoh, Tendou Satori strikes up an unusual friendship with Iwaizumi who seems keen on helping Tendou navigate his own unrequited feelings, despite ignoring his own.
All the while Tendou's teammates are becoming more and more concerned with their blocker's new behavior and mysterious texting buddy.
4. Unforgivable Acts
All Ushijima has to do is apologize for punching a rival school kid in the face, and everything will clear up. Unfortunately, that would require him to admit that defending Tendou was wrong, and he will not do that.
5. Monster
First year Tendou has braces and a lisp. Ushijima is very gay.
6. rainwater
If rain brings Tendou joy, then Ushijima’s happy for him. It’s not something he’ll ever come to personally understand, and he’s certain that he’ll never share the same enthusiasm for water falling from the sky. Rainwater serves a few good purposes, namely helping plants grow and offering moisture to dry land. But Ushijima doesn’t need to be watered. Maybe Tendou does, though that wouldn’t necessarily make sense to Ushijima.
Unsurprising, because not much about Tendou makes sense to Ushijima in the first place. He supposes it doesn’t have to; he appreciates his friendship regardless, but he does wonder sometimes what it must be like to occupy the same headspace as him.
7. Imperfect Facial Symmetry
Tendou Satori has learned to live with the fact that he doesn't have what anyone would consider an attractive face. This wouldn't normally bother him, except now detail-oriented, perfect Ushijima is analyzing his face and producing every overly apparent, crooked flaw in precise graphite strokes.
Ushijima has learned to live with the fact that he doesn't have the ability to read faces, attractive or not. But there's something about Tendou's that he can't put his finger on. He simply cannot get the drawing right.
8. You're really pushing it (but you're going much too slowly)
"Ow, my fingers." Tendou's face contorts into a mock expression of anguish, but there's too much amusement in his brows for Wakatoshi to be fooled. He doesn't let go and instead half-drags the blocker off to the side. But Tendou is not so easily thwarted.
"Wakatoshi-kun! Ow! That hurts!" he squawks evilly, playing dirty by getting Coach Washijou's attention.
"Ushijima! What are you doin' over there?"
Wakatoshi lets go like Tendou's hands are on fire. "Nothing. Sorry."
Post - Canon:
1. bonjour, notre paradis
“You’re telling me,” Tendou says, once Wakatoshi finally gets him on a video call, “that you got drunk as hell, asked Hinata Shouyou—of all people!—if you should go to Paris immediately after announcing that you used to hate him, somehow managed to correctly book a flight despite your clearly impaired decision-making, and then shut your damn phone off after texting me?”
Wakatoshi nods. “That about sums it up.”
//
Japan loses to Argentina in the Olympics. Ushijima Wakatoshi loses—and finds—his way forward.
2. Just Wanna Get A Little Bit Closer
When Ushijima agreed to the photoshoot for a sportswear brand he favors, he didn't think he'd be modeling with his ex. They haven't seen each other in years, not since he broke up with Tendou in an airport and sent the other man back to France, both nursing broken hearts.
(He also didn't think he'd end the day fucking his ex in a bathroom, but no one ever called Ushijima a prophet.)
3. The Elusive Blush of Ushijima Wakatoshi
The first time that Tendou made Ushijima blush was before they started dating.
The second time that Tendou made Ushijima blush was two years after his unplanned confession.
The third time that Tendou made Ushijima blush was on accident, half a decade after his previous success.
.........................................................................
In the entire time that he had known him, Tendou Satori had only managed to make one Ushijima Wakatoshi blush a total of 5 times.
A story of the 5 times that Tendou made Ushijima blush + 1 time that he didn't need to.
4. All For the Love of An Energetic Redhead
Hinata is in Brazil. Tendou is in France.
Kageyama and Ushijima get drunk and make bad decisions about it.
5. polaroids & proposals
Wakatoshi pauses with the huge gift in his lap, hand hovering above its crudely tied bow.
“Wanna guess what it is first?” Satori rocks in place, cross-legged on the floor.
“Hmm,” Wakatoshi looks down at Satori from his spot on the chair, then back at the gift. His eyes are narrow in deep thought, “is it the set of luggage we saw at the store last week? I believe I mentioned needing a new set.”
“Oooh, maybe~” Satori bites his lip, anticipation giving him a slight stomach ache, “guess you’ll find out!”
It’s definitely not a set of luggage. Not even close.
6. the language of belonging
After the camera crew and interviewer bids them goodbye, Satori takes them back to his apartment.
“Why do you feel bad?” Wakatoshi’s hand settles against Satori’s thigh. Jesus. Fucking. Christ. “You have many friends, Satori. To you, our friendship is likely not as important. To me, you were the first person who wanted to know me, save for, perhaps, Sakusa. You made me feel …” He seems to struggle with his words for a moment, before he dips his head a little. Satori marvels at the clear sign of embarrassment. “You made me feel less weird. I never had many friends, and I still don’t. You were my first best friend.”
Suffice to say, Satori is speechless.
Outsider Pov:
1. The Mystery of Ushijima Wakatoshi’s Chocolate-Making, Paris-Living Boyfriend
Ushijima having a boyfriend who lives in Paris and makes chocolates isn’t impossible.
But it is a little unbelievable.
Or, five times someone asked about Ushijima’s love life, and one time no one needed to.
2. The years shall run like rabbits
Ushijima’s mother is not sure what to make of the man her son brings home: he’s too loud, too particular, too fond of her son in a way she thinks is rather inappropriate.
Or, Ushijima Akemi watches her son’s relationship with Tendou change over the years and finds herself changing with it.
Alternate Universes:
1. a lesson in vulcan mineralogy
Tendou is sitting in the captain’s chair.
2. died in my dreams
If anyone asked Ushijima how it came to this, he wouldn’t be able to formulate a proper answer
Or, Ushijima likes his quiet, his order, and his solitude.
That is, until a loud, talkative and a little chaotic cyber tech convinces him that that's just plain boring.
3. Executive Excursion
Tendou is fun, quirky, and interesting.Ushijima is none of the above.
It's no surprise that Ushijima is drawn to Tendou's magnetic personality. What's surprising is that Tendou seems to like Ushijima, too.
With a little support from his coworkers, Ushijima decides to take a chance and ask Tendou on a date. The results are better than expected.
4. Tendou's Bakery for Wayward Soulmates
According to common knowledge—and quite a few highly reputable textbooks—there exist in the universe three kinds of soulbonds: those that manifest spontaneously, those that people are born with, and those that stay hidden until their potential is revealed.
Some soulmates connect easily and instantaneously. But other soulbonds prove to be more stubborn. These bonds require a bit more effort…a certain amount of coaxing before they finally appear.
For those unruly, obstinate souls, there is Tendou’s Bakery for Wayward Soulmates.
5. say what you mean (I wanna be with you)
Good morning, Wakatoshi-kun! Isn’t it such a beautiful autumn day today?
They chatted every day before class; Tendou vivid and excitable, Ushijima muted, but still enjoying himself. Except today, when Tendou had sprinted into class just moments before the lecture began, his cheeks flushed with exertion. He flashed Ushijima a bright smile as he slid into his seat, opened his mouth to say something, and was promptly cut off by the start of the lecture.
Not to be deterred, Tendou had written a note instead.
Ushijima feels silly. It takes him a while to decide on a response that doesn’t make him feel even sillier.
Yes, it is a nice day.
Or: 5 times Ushijima couldn’t make sense of the notes Tendou wrote to him in class + 1 time when it finally clicked.
6. The Tendou Incidents
“Where...have you come from?” Ushijima manages.
“Paris.”
It’s not the answer he expects. Though, somehow Paris seems to fit his expectations of the man standing in front of him. “Mm. That is very — ”
“ — Exciting? Glamorous?” the redhead prompts, obviously proud of his globetrotting accomplishment.
“ — Far.”
The man falters for the first time, like he finds Ushijima’s answer odd — despite being even odder himself — and laughs, infectious and hearty, like Ushijima has made some sort of joke.
One fateful day, a colorful, painfully extroverted young man named Tendou Satori moves into the unit above Ushijima's apartment. He's odd, presumptuous, and — most egregious of all — he's shockingly noisy. And the quiet, scheduled routine Ushijima Wakatoshi lives is forever altered.
7. Consecutive Failures
The moment Tendou presents as an omega he knows Ushijima is the one for him, he just has a few issues telling Ushijima that.
Or
The five times Tendou fails to confess and the one time Ushijima does.
8. everything was red
Ushijima brings it up to his mother exactly once, the strange boy who appears in his room at night.
She tells him that it sounds like he has an imaginary friend, and that at nine years old isn’t he a little bit old for this kind of thing?
He doesn’t bring it up again, though later that night he tells Tendou and Tendou’s eyes go bright, his smile sharp and pointed like a shark.
“Do you think I’m imaginary, Wakatoshi-kun?”
9. Don't bother checking my work (i've never cared for math anyway)
It isn’t until Shirabu’s back at LOCCENT that it really sinks in. Forty-eight wins? An impressive number, true, and a definite sign of Ushijima’s strength, especially compared to Tendou. But in anyone else, an unbalanced score like that would indicate a depressingly low chance of drift compatibility.
Drifting with Ushijima was simple statistically, but potentially deadly realistically. And drifting with Tendou? A veritable nightmare. If not for Washijou’s insistence, Shirabu would have dropped him long ago.
Still, something is calling to him. Something beyond numbers and data projections.
Because Ushijima may have knocked Tendou down forty-eight times. But that means there were forty-nine times he got back up.
10. Day Shift (Night Shift)
Every day, Ushijima Wakatoshi sits down at his nondescript, generic grey cubicle, ready to do sports education work for the JVA.
Every day, there is a letter waiting for him from someone who works on the night shift.
Ushijima doesn’t know who it is. But he always writes back.
11. ENDINGS/BEGINNINGS
New beginnings come only at the cost of other endings. The two cannot survive together. It is not a symbiotic relationship; it is a mutually destructive one.
On the cusp of achieving all of his dreams, professional volleyball player and one time Olympic medalist Ushijima Wakatoshi goes down. One wrong landing, one torn ACL.
In the blink of an eye, his future collapses. His volleyball career ends.
His coach tells him: it’s all over.
His father tells him: Nothing is meant to last forever. Once you learn to let one door close, another will open.
Now Ushijima, aged 24, has to somehow learn how to begin again. He doesn’t know where to start, or if he even wants to. That's where Tendou Satori comes in.
If you've reached this point, I am very impressed lol!

I really do quite like Minato. He is one of the craziest characters in the show except no one in cannon including Kishimoto realizes it. they all think he's sooo normal. this guy killed 5000 people in one day and then went home and made dinner for his beautiful wife and never thought about it again.
Made it to 100k. Woof! 🐶

In Gaza City, little Amouna lived with her family in a simple home. She was a cheerful girl who loved playing with her friends, but everything changed when the war broke out. One night, heavy shelling began, and the house shook under the weight of the explosions. Amouna and her family tried to escape, but fate was harsher than anyone could bear. 😔💔
Moments of terror passed, and the house collapsed over their heads. Amouna found herself trapped under the rubble, feeling pain and burns across her body, but she was determined to survive. 😢💔 After hours of waiting, rescue teams arrived and pulled Amouna out from under the debris. Her face reflected pain and fear, yet in her eyes, there was a glimmer of hope. 😥
Amouna and her family were relocated to live in a tent during a harsh winter. The tent lacked warmth, and rain seeped through it, but they clung to each other for comfort. 💔😢 We urgently appeal to anyone who can lend a helping hand to assist Amouna and her family in these dire conditions. Let us provide them with shelter and hope for a new life. 😞💔
‼️Save Hilda's Pregnancy‼️
💥🚨 Pregnancy in War🚨💥
🇵🇸🍉🇵🇸🍉🇵🇸🍉🇵🇸🍉
🔥💥Am pregnant 🔥💥
Please read our story carefully and imagine the situation we are living in.
We’ve been living 400 days of war and genocide. The markets are empty, and if anything is found, it's extremely expensive. The weather is cold, and the tents don't protect us from the cold after being worn out by the summer heat. There’s no electricity, the water is contaminated, no education, and no medicine. Pregnancy has exhausted me, and I wonder how my child will survive in these conditions if they are born. Some relatives cover their children with plastic to protect them from the cold due to the lack of income. The sounds of bombing, gunfire, and drones scare people in their sleep. We don't know when this suffering will end or if we can endure it.
🇵🇸🍉
We want to reach our goal, we're still in the beginning 🙏🙏

please help Ahmed, husband of Dina and father of four very young kids. His oldest child is only 7, and his youngest is baby Ronza who was born in the middle of a genocide this past summer. they need your continued support so that they may reach their goal of €100k as quickly as possible. these funds are life-sustaining, enabling this family to afford essential things like medical treatment, medicine, food, warm clothes, and blankets, as well as diapers and milk for Ronza. please dont overlook the impact even €5 can do for this family.
Please don’t skip 🍉🇵🇸
I am Ahmed from Gaza, 26 years old. I stand before you as a person trying to support my family of 7: me, my father, my mother and my sisters, in our miserable circumstances, which we live in after the occupation launched the war on Gaza. We were displaced from our home and it was completely destroyed. We are now living in shelters. Due to the circumstances and low income, we are unable to provide the necessary benefits such as food and drink due to the crazy increase in prices. Thus, my source of livelihood has been destroyed, but it has been completely destroyed, as we are no longer entitled to work; and we expect to live in miserable conditions in the shelters. It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in the shelters; without food, medicine or clean drinking water; with the oppression, helplessness, psychological pressures, doubts and daily shocks caused by everything around us and the inability to care for our loved ones. The fear of danger, disease and death never leaves us.
Now, I find myself in this difficult situation, and I humbly ask for your help to save the lives of my family, especially my father and mother, by getting us out of Gaza to Egypt and building a new life outside Gaza or helping us get money to buy the necessities that we may be able to afford. Asking for help is not easy, but we had no choice because we want to survive and strive to rebuild our shattered lives. We are very grateful for any help you can offer, no matter how small, as your help will go a long way in alleviating our suffering. I hope you will share my story with your family and friends.”

I never thought finding anti konoha fics would be this hard (really good ones, with Sasuke-centric without having any idolization of It*chi, or try to convince us and convince Sasuke that the Massacre was necessary (or not that important), or diminish it completely; or that aren't Sak*ra harem with all the Uchihas; or SasuH*na; or that doesn't portray Sasuke as being a terrible jerk who mistreats poor little Team 7; etc.) - 😩
It's really hard to find any fic that focuses specifically on Sasuke saying "fuck Konoha! bye". It's sad that his trauma is always downplayed so he can return to the village as if all those years of chasing to get justice for his clan ended with him regretting pursuing his justice. (and killing It*chi, but in my opinion It*chi deserved it bc he chose the path of gen*cide). I know there are some lost gems on ao3, but it's so few.
edit1: I'm actually going through a phase where I just want to read a fic or several fics where everyone criticizes and hates Konoha and DOES something about it. (like destroying or setting it on fire). You know Konoha deserves it.
I'm currently looking for Sasuke centric bc he deserves his moment to properly vent his anger on that village and also bc I've read countless fics where Naruto turns against the village.
I'll keep looking, who knows maybe I'll make a keepsake list later to share my precious (and scarce) gems with you
URGENT: HELP SAVE THE LIFE OF MY CHILD
I'm Amal, a mother of three children, living under the weight of the genocide taking place in Gaza. 🍉
The Israeli occupation forces launched drone strikes on my husband, Fayez, and my son, Mohammad.

Although my husband's condition has stabilized, my son is still suffering immensely and urgently needs medical treatment outside Gaza.
So I started a fundraising campaign to save my son before he dies.

I lost most of my family. I'm afraid to lose my son too 🥺 .
I need your help please donate and share, evry contribution, no matter how small, brings us hope in these dark times.

love (ˈləv) noun.
varadeva.
Deva is not your typical tortured protagonist.
Normally, characters that are acclimatized to violence have become that way because of circumstances throughout their life, or due to traumatic experiences.
but Deva?
Deva was born with these tendencies. He wasn't molded by life into the violent being that he is now – he has always been that way. Violence was his first and most natural way of responding to any emotion that was too overwhelming for him.
• it must have been hard initially for Deva, growing up with no one to understand the way he worked intrinsically.
Deva, in his most natural state, is violence personified, but his mother isn't able to accept this aspect of his personality.
She detests it, in fact – and it's just gotten worse, especially now that she has witnessed in some way, the extent that Deva can go for varadha people things he feels strongly about.
She refuses to watch him fight, and cannot bear to see him associated with violence in any way, shape, or form.
In short, she cannot accept him.
While Deva's mom needs eyes on him at all times though,
Varadha trusts him to do what is right.
and this is Varadha's love for Deva:
this is what Varadha brings to the relationship; and it's so easy to overlook because it's something Varadha does so well.
He accepts Deva exactly the way he is.
and the fact that, throughout the movie, you never see a direct expression of Varada's love towards Deva, just proves that it never leaves in the first place – Varadha's love for Deva is persistent and unyielding.
Varadha has embraced Deva's 'big emotions' since they were children, and the comfort this has fostered is so embedded within Deva that it's probably the only reason Deva can live with himself right now, especially with his mom convincing him he is a monster at every possible chance.
Deva's love for Varadha, on the other hand, is very obvious, because again: his emotions manifest very tangibly
Deva knows what Varadha needs the most – he truly sees Varadha's insecurities and inherent complexity.
Underneath Varadha's composure, restraint, and calm confidence, is a boy who is terrified of the future. of his father. for his brother.
Varadha sometimes says the opposite of what he feels in an effort to protect himself from vulnerability, but Deva has learnt to read him. Varadha doesn’t make his motives clear often, but Deva trusts him to reveal things in time. He never pressures Varadha for information, or questions him.
• It even goes against every cell in Varadha's body to request protection and demand love, especially after the kind of treatment he's faced from those that should have been expected to show him love.
and Deva understands this, and is there to protect and love Varadha, without a second thought.
It's a very mutual relationship, between two people who are there for each other exactly how the other needs them, and the fact that they never had to try to fit each other, just shows how much they're made for each other.
— love, a definition: part three [part one / part two]
I urge all the people who want to remain up to date with the on-going genocide to subscribe to this channel. It's extremely informative, and I've been getting news from their news outlet for ages, as well.
Support these people as they've been supporting Palestine and spreading awareness about this genocide for years.
So don't just like this post and call it a day; reblog it; spread the word around. That's the least you people can do.

This is the funniest take on "what if Snow chose to be a good person" because instead of imagining young Snow being this sweet kind person, it's just Donald Sutherland playing a senile old uncle who constantly beefs with birds.

Plus my favorite comments
EDIT: OP is posting a fic to AO3 and it's amazing
moshang foc recs pls, the ones u talked abt sounded so good
normally I would say that my bookmarks are usually the place to go for recs of any sort but unfortunately moshang has the dishonor of being a popular side ship to tag in fics that are not centered on it, so therefore half my moshang bookmarks are actually just bingqiu.
SO, here's a few that are in line with what I talked about liking about moshang!
Husband (Imaginary) by diamondbruise
modern AU where SQH tries to serve MBJ with divorce papers. peak moron4moron, but also really sweet. love SQH's crippling self-esteem issues in this one.
What's A King To A God? by zizzani
remember that aside I mentioned about SQH and his god powers? this fic and the rest of the series it's part of are IMPECCABLE for that! MBJ dies and SQH rewrites reality to bring him back.
Save Point by Neery
and this one is a really good example of MBJ trying to woo, comfort, and reassure SQH and managing primarily to scare him completely shitless! this one is established relationship - except SQH gets his memory temporarily wiped out and has no idea what is happening starting at the beginning of the fic.
there are many many more that I have enjoyed but I have a very hard time remembering anything that ISN'T in my bookmarks, so these are the highlights!
"Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds."
Tried, true, and tested.
Hamas has taken about 200 people (settler-colonial conscripts and reservists, might I add) as hostages, the liberals keep clamoring from the top of their high-horses. Israel has had about 2 million Palestinians as hostages for about 7 decades, upon whom every brutality under the sun has been inflicted with full impunity and no consequences. They live in the largest open-air-prison/concentration camp in the world. The same camp that's currently facing genocide by the western world's complete support.
However, liberals are calling this a "both-sides issue", one that's complicated, and that peace should be the goal. (Never mind the fact that, without any long-term and tangible solution, even if the ceasefire is enforced, the Palestinians just return to their previous condition: a concentration camp where they're slowly ethically cleansed.) Israel, on the other hand, commands one of the top militaries in the world: it's fully backed by state-of-the art military-arsenal that's supplied to it by USA and EU and billions of dollars in aid to boot. (One of the report, which covered weapons manufacturing and supply from 2011 to 2014, a couple of years back showed that the profit from the weapons supplies from EU to conflict zones in the Middle East is in trillions.)
Whilst Hamas or Hezbollah don't possess even the tiniest fraction of that, just reused and/or old equipment and many young men whose lives have been utterly destroyed in the wake of Israel's relentless, brutal, and barbaric terrorism that's singular in its savagery. So much so, that they don't even care about their own lives. That ought to be a moment of introspection for the white liberals: why would any young man cast away his life if he wasn't completely without hope? That doesn't elicit any empathy, sympathy, or even a twinge of compassion from them. No, it's the rave-party goers and settlers that get sympathy as these liberals can see themselves as partying, enjoying life, and being the "good soldiers" fighting in the name of freedom, democracy, and stability (pink-washing is a happy after-effect of this sham); and that's the heart of their racism, their inability to humanize people that experience extreme oppression.
Why? Their worlds stand on oppression; hence, it's the evil they accept, perpetrate, and endorse. Let's not mollify this reality. It's racism, oppression, and subjugation in its most violent form; and they're aware that, if Palestine wins today, they might have to face the music for their own complicity in the western world's forever wars, neocolonialism, and economic slavery. The holy-trinity of unscalable brutalities that have cost MENA over 20 million lives in just the last 2 decades, and this doesn't include the on-going genocides in Sudan, Syria, Yemen, etc.; or the deplorable conditions these righteous, white-supremacy-fueled wars, sanctions, and political over-throws have left them in. It's the tomorrow that necessitates this genocide for them, ensures their future, and sustains their worlds. If Palestine wins, their own western world is cast in doubt because one repercussion can open doors for many more. The fear of retaliation.
They want Palestine to be crushed, so that this genocide can serve as an example for uprisings to come: this is what you'd get for resisting; for fighting back; for trying to even the odds; and for, as they gloat, fucking around and finding out. They don't want a just world; no, they want a peaceful world about them, one in which the oppressed remain just that; and, if they dare to stand on their own feet, they're erased. (The media coverage and the uproar from the white world in the wake of that tiny attack on Israel ought to tell you as much: it's loud, noisy, and jarring, like a booming echo that refuses to cease, in comparison to tiny whispers that are uttered when Palestinians are brutalized en masse and have been subjected to that for decades.)
And now, they're worried about their elections. How nice. The UN shows itself to be a sham, allowing for MENA to finally see it for what it is, an ineffectual organization that's done nothing but legitimize the western world's endless tyranny. It's mask-off with these people who're liberals in times of peace and monstrous fascists in crisis that even slightly affects them. Palestine's just that threshold now, beyond which a free world exists for MENA or a free world for them. It's us against them now, and history would favor the bold.
From river to the sea, Palestine will be free!
