about

i've been hooked on bokuaka for over 3 years now and have been reading through the bokuaka tag on AO3 religiously for just as long. i have a lot of recommendations from well-known works to the hidden or new ones that deserve more love. also i kinda hope you guys will find another bokuaka fic to talk about other than you-know-which-fic. anyway, this is a work in progress! i have so many more fics to put in here but i realized that if i waited until i finished it i might never share this with anyone, but hey i got a decent number here over one hundred works!

i hope that once i get the time i can organize them by angst, fluffy, AU, abo, pwp and so on.

also check the on going works section and support the authors :)

"'That reminds me of a story...'

--

Keiji Akaashi doesn't realize how much he needs Koutarou Bokuto until he's crashing into his life wearing a grin and missing an eye, telling stories that no one asked to hear.
Koutarou Bokuto doesn't realize how much he needs Keiji Akaashi until he sticks around when no one else even shows up."

Midnight Moon

"Akaashi always thought life gave Bokuto everything:
fame, money, friendship. Eventually, even true love.
What Akaashi didn’t know is that a perfect life always comes with a price,
and now it was time for Bokuto to pay it.

Or, less dramatically, a Circus AU featuring an untamed lion tamer, an acrobatic fire dancer, a mysterious master of horses, the world’s greatest illusionist and a guy who’s only supposed talent is to be good with animals.

You’ll get lots of purple, glitter, magic tricks, lions, junk food, an epic seaside trip and a secret from the past that threatens to take everything away from Bokuto. Especially Akaashi."

"'It’s hard not to be constantly talked about around here. Everyone has a name in something. But everyone knows Bokuto. It’s the same with Kuroo and it’s getting to be the same with Koganegawa, but Bokuto is the king of getting people to like him.' Iwaizumi let out a small, weak chuckle, strolling down the row a little more, touching a white appaloosa on the muzzle. Such an aesthetically pleasing horse. 'He annoyed the shit out of me at first, but I’d give my life for the son of a bitch now. He’s a good guy. Got a heart of gold.'

-

When Keiji visits his father's ranch for the first time in six years, he plans to keep to himself. Too bad most of the people inhabiting the ranch have a different plan. Most notably, a certain ranch hand with wicked hair and nearly golden eyes."

"A God is born from silver rain on a fateful night by the full moon over an open lake. He meets a boy with golden eyes and they know that the word 'Destiny' was made for them.

And from the rain
Comes a river running wild that will create
An empire for you"

"Bokuto & Akaashi meet on a rainy night in Yokohama in an izakaya and technically it's all Kuroo's fault. It's also Kuroo's fault if Akaashi notices Bokuto with his third beer of the hour and it's Kuroo's fault if at the end of the night Bokuto's number is saved in Akaashi's phone.

tldr: Akaashi thought he only wanted Bokuto for the muscles, until he realizes he wants his heart too."

Courtship of the Owl

"The Akaashi family estate hires a new stablehand to help with the newborn foal come spring;
A man with a beaming smile, bright eyes, and owlish hair.
Akaashi loves owls.

A story of cute stableboys, ethereal aristocrats, adorable animals, quirky friends, and getting together despite it all."

"Go on! Get out of here! I didn't need your dick anyway!"
"Iwa-chan-! Wait, where are you going?"
"If my boyfriend doesn't fuck me in the ass right now then these exams will be the one taking my virginity."
"I hate it here."
"Shut yer trap!"
"I don't tell people I like them. It makes their ego blow up like a balloon."
"Lev was hanging upside down a tree today....oh, he didn't do it intentionally?"
"If words could describe how much I want to punch you in the face right now, I wouldn't need to punch you in the face."
"Is Bokuto-san crying? Or is that just his natural state?"
"I think I love you way more now than last year. Yeah, last year you were a pretty big asshole.""

"A selection to find the ideal omega for Fukurōdani's Crown Prince is the perfect opportunity for the world to grasp at their chance at royalty, but as Akaashi Keiji soon finds out, being behind the palace walls may be more lethal than he once thought.

"'Kago no Tori,' Kenma whispers, the brush in his hand forming the characters in fluid movements, leaving a trail of black on the crisp white paper. 'Is that not what we are? All of us here are simply a glorified casket of birds.'"

If anyone fucks with you, I’ll knock their teeth out
author: Applesaucedip wordcount: 12k (teen)
last updated: 2020/09/23

"Bokuto didn't miss the longing stare he got from the stands, did he know the man that was staring at him so intensely? He doesn’t recognize the dark blue eyes and messy black hair but he wished he did. Every game he’s played on his college team last year he noticed the same man, the same stare that caught his attention.

-

Akaashi played on the girls team his whole life and quit once he started his transition. It was the hardest decision of his life. He absolutely adored the sport, but considering the circumstances he was too intimidated to play the sport ever again. It never stopped him from living vicariously through the games he watched, the games he wished he could have played."

Pen Pal From The Past
author: erstersandapplepi wordcount: 16k (teen)
last updated: 2020/10/20

"An old journal and its unfinished story. Not the most appealing description when people hear it, no? But, strangely enough, it captures the attention of the ravenette named Akaashi.

And in a spur of emotions and desperation, he writes a small message, not expecting a reply. So, of course, the sudden appearance of a new entry has him reeling back in fear and surprise.

What’s more surprising is that he keeps writing and earns himself an unexpected pen pal. Oh, and did I mention that this pen pal is from the past?
-
A story where Akaashi finds a magical journal that he can use to communicate with its previous owner, Bokuto.

II. You have to be very fond of men. Very, very fond. You have to be very fond of them to love them. Otherwise, they are simply unbearable.

III. Always when I see a man fond of praise, I always think it is because he is an affectionate man craving for affection.

IV. When, full of warm and eager love, you clasp me in your fond embrace, I gently push you back and say, “Take care, my dear, you’ll spoil my lace.”

V. Fond memories linger every day. Remembrance keeps you near.

Shake Don't Shatter ★

"Bokuto first sees his neighbour at the supermarket, three days after he's moved into his new place.

[...]

For about a second, a heartbeat, he's met with a pair of dark, piercing eyes, with what is probably eyeliner, looking back at him. It really is just a split second before his hand knocks down three cereal boxes that hit him square in the head, effectively making him break eye contact and drop his groceries to the floor.

Akaashi took a shaky breath. 'I love you, too, Koutarou,' he promised. 'I’m glad you came.'"

"He accepted his classmate's chocolates gracefully, then declared his lack of interest with as much dignity as he could muster. She deserved the courtesy. At least she'd acknowledged that Valentine's Day was all about her, and not about him in the slightest.

Because if any of these girls had taken the time to actually get to know him, they’d quickly realize something even more important than his lack of interest in girls.

And that was that Akaashi hated sweets."

"It started when Akaashi walked into the gym for university volleyball club practice. No, it started when Bokuto decided that he had to ask him out. No, no, it started with Akaashi turned Bokuto down.

Upstairs
author: yoogiboobi wordcount: 16k (explicit)

"Bokuto first sees his neighbour at the supermarket, three days after he's moved into his new place.

[...]

For about a second, a heartbeat, he's met with a pair of dark, piercing eyes, with what is probably eyeliner, looking back at him. It really is just a split second before his hand knocks down three cereal boxes that hit him square in the head, effectively making him break eye contact and drop his groceries to the floor.

In which some of the first things Bokuto learns about his upstairs neighbour are the colour of his eyes and the sound of his moans.

Skinny Love ★

"'Akaashi Keiji.' He said shortly, not breaking eye contact.
'Keiji?! Like the manga by Tetsuo Hara?!' Bokuto wailed before he could stop himself.
The baker named Akaashi nodded, eyes going a little wider.
'My older brother’s name is Matsukaze.'
'Are you shitting me?!'

A homeless prostitute finds a skinny love in the dorky baker boy down the street."

the right path
author: norio wordcount: 14k (teen)

"'What do you expect from our company?' the interviewer asked.

A job. A straightforward path, the only concerns about the budget for printer toners. A solitary lifestyle in a cubicle. But Akaashi curled his fingers around his resume and thought wryly that if he truly wanted all that, he wouldn't be applying to an anime company."

orchestra in my head
author: fromthefarshore wordcount: 10k (general)

"Bokuto feels out of place in the orchestra, but a bet is a bet, and he can't simply leave. Everyone is wearing dark suits and dresses, looking smart and elegant, serious and boring.
'Is everything alright?' he hears a soft voice to his right and meets dark eyes when he turns his head. The man sitting next to him looks smart and elegant, and serious. But not boring, not him.
---
Akaashi doesn't believe in starting to love someone in a matter of minutes or even hours, but then again, he'd never say he loves Bokuto, not even now.
It's not love, it's something else, but Akaashi feels like no one has thought of the word to describe the feeling."

"Using drugs without telling Bokuto didn’t sit right with Akaashi. He had told himself he was using them for Bokuto’s benefit, but knowing Bokuto, he would probably pick a sad and healthy Akaashi over a happy and sick one. Bokuto hated when Akaashi had a cold or the stomach flu. He would probably be distraught if Akaashi developed an addiction to cocaine.

Akaashi took a shaky breath. 'I love you, too, Koutarou,' he promised. 'I’m glad you came.'"

"'If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen,' is a popular saying… heat, however, is the least dangerous thing one should worry about in a kitchen. Between the fire, sharp utensils, red hot pans, the Mandolin God, and lunatic co-workers, Kuroo has his work cut out for him when he returns home from Paris after nine years to open his own restaurant. He’s determined to show off — ahem, to demonstrate all that he’s learned at the helm of world renowned chefs in Michelin Star kitchens.

Bokuto Koutarou tends to have more passion than sense. He joins Kuroo’s brigade on a whim after nearly slicing his hand off… and realizes just how much knowledge he’s actually lacking. He’s worked in kitchens his entire life, but none like Kuroo’s kitchen so, with excitement and trepidation, he throws himself into his work with Kuroo.

Sincerely Yours

"Saturday detention isn’t normally a place you go in order to find the answers to your problems

It’s where you go when you’ve fucked up bad enough you have to lose an entire Saturday to make up for what you’ve done.

The Prince and The Criminal were caught cutting class. The Outsider cursed out his Shakespeare professor. The Jock and The Brain got into a fist fight.

And the Birthday Boy, he’s not even supposed to be here..."

Corpora Permutavere

"'Akaaaaashi, you gotta make a wish after you blow them out!' Bokuto was leaning across the table so far that the candle flames danced in his eyes, turning them to molten metal. And while Akaashi found himself appreciating his teammate’s birthday fervor in a way that was soft, foreign, and somewhat unexpected, Bokuto should still have known that this level of spectacle was neither Akaashi’s preference, nor something he was entirely comfortable with.

Under such pressure, he blew out the candles. Then, as requested, made a wish.

I wish Bokuto-san understood the perspective of someone other than himself.

Bokuto and Akaashi switch bodies. It goes as well as you might expect."

"Akaashi deals with a lot of stupid people.

He isn't yet certain if Bokuto falls into that category.

In which Akaashi is the manager of a movie theater, Bokuto is the new hire at the shoe store downstairs, and the two of them get along much better than Akaashi could have anticipated."

Ain't No Getting Off Early

"Bokuto's day was not going at all how he planned. Shifting carefully, he clenched his thighs, trying to stop the shaking in his legs. Biting his lips to keep any unwanted noises from escaping, he readjusted his bag in front of his crotch, trying to ignore the way the vibrator in his ass seemed to move with every small motion of the train. Hopefully the hospital would be quiet at this time in the morning, he didn't think he'd be able to handle much more excitement right now."

"Before he met Bokuto, Akaashi’s life had been set in stone.

Before he met Bokuto, his life made sense.

Before he met Bokuto, his life was about using his weak magic to make something of himself.

Before he met Bokuto, he thought everything could and should be planned.

But after Bokuto...

---

Akaashi and Bokuto hadn't always had things easy. They hadn't always been easy. But they'd worked it out. Now, right as they both were finally comfortably settled, the universe threw a new challenge at the Akaashi-Bokuto household in the shape of a tiny, orange-haired baby boy with a magic too big for his body."

""Wait, give me a sec. I have 7 brain cells left."
"I bet you 5 galleons professor Takeda and professor Ukai are smashing each other, right now as we speak."
"That Akaashi-san doesn't seem like a Ravenclaw at all. I was so sure he was in Slytherin."
"Wait, Sugawara is in Slytherin? ... I've been calling him Hufflepuff trash this whole time."
"Guys, I just saw that Slytherin kid Tsukishima and the Hufflepuff Yamaguchi making out at Three Bro-hey, stop laughing! I'm serious!"
"You think if I turn into an owl I won't have to do the exams?"
"That bitch Oikawa got another love letter. Thinks he's the shit..."
"Why are you crying? Stop it."
"With how often Kuroo goes to the Ravenclaw tower, you would think he was one of them. Kinda sad though, he's stupid."
"I'm telling my daddy about this! ... No, that's my father. I'm pretty sure I said daddy.""

"It was quiet – so much quieter than what he was used to, and the murmuring of the sea dwelled in his ears, filled his mind to the brim with sweet nothings.

Koutarou blinked, his body torn from side to side as the current gnawed at him, not wanting to let him go. Finding Keiji was all that counted now." MERMAID AU

i wish that it could be like that (why can't we be like that?)
author: confettitty wordcount: 25k (mature)

"Koutarou Bokuto, a popular actor rising through the ranks in the Hollywood scene, doesn't expect to meet top-model Keiji Akaashi.

What he doesn't expect, either, is to fall in love so deeply it almost ruins him completely."
