here is a list of my all time fav iwaoi fics!!
(currently read: 446 | last update: april 2021)(if you take any of these recommendations/have read any of these fics/have ur own recs please PLEASE PLEASE dm me -- i can literally talk about iwaoi all day everyday)☾ ☆find this fic rec list on twitter (this one is probably more updated) and my honourable mentions lists by searching the hashtag #rachhonourablementions on twitter

titleword count & ratingsynopsis & notes
the courtship ritual of the hercules beetle by kittebasu 66k | Tnonlinear slice of life story of past and present iwaoi where oikawa is trying to figure out his emotions. one of my ALL TIME FAV fics!! love love LOVE the pining and how they realize they are in love
the loyalty of a traitor by deathbelle76k | Esuspenseful non linear yakuza au. above all, its a story of hurt and belonging. undercover cop!iwa gets pulled into kumicho!oikawa’s affairs yet again and it brings back ALL the memories. ANOTHER ALL TIME FAV. also please read the spin off as well: it goes through how oikawa coped with the events in loyalty of a traitor and it HURTSSSSSSS
kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats by akira_kun 58k | E iwa and oikawa break apart in hs and 12 years go by before they reunite. a story about knowing what you want, but learning to adapt when it doesn't pan out how you think. i will warn you now that the angst tag is REAL, this has a 100% chance at breaking ur heart but i swear it will put you back together at the end
the best i ever had by findingschmomo 62k | Tit’s about navigating relationships at different stages of life and through certain situations that life throws at you. it’s about figuring out what’s important to you and knowing what you deserve but also about giving second chances.
learning to walk (so that we can run) by ricekrispyjoints 27k | Moikawa works through his knee injury. this was just such a good study on living with injuries and experiencing/realizing that there are those around u to encourage, support and care for u !! iwa is so caring and i love the witty convos as much as i loved the heartfelt ones
in the business of love by redroseinsanity(22k | G)pure rom com shit: so soft, so hilarious, with just the right amount of light angst. iwa coming to the realization, just a lil late as always. i think my favourite thing is that they touched on the concept of love and romance and that it feels different for different people, like that GOT ME — i feel this sometimes and idk this was just super reassuring and realistic????? IDK BUT I LOVE IT, PLEASE READ THIS
silvertongue by ohhotlamb10k | Eoikawa is a thirsty ass hoe for a one iwaizumi hajime. as the author wrote its a ‘we take the same elevator every day and due to a misunderstanding i assumed you didn’t speak english and i’ve been talking to my friend about how hot you are for three weeks’ au
stranger danger by orphan_account 14k | Ginternet friends turn blind date. honestly one of the funniest things ive read and a lil heavy on secondhand embarrassment but also just so endearing.
chasing paper suns by carafin 10k | Tit’s a story about time and friendship and everything in between, oikawa makes it onto the national team and iwa doesn't and their friendship is tested. ugh the weight of this story, i can FEEL IT AND IT HURTS bc it touches on the fear of people moving on without you and it’s something that so many of us can relate to so
shiver by yuu_chi 16k | Toikawa confesses in middle school but it obviously doesn’t get through to a confused iwa and it’s just about them continuing to live their lives and iwa slowly (and finally) coming to the realization. the mood was set so well and the slow build was EVERYTHING i hoped for, it was written beautifully
meddling little constellations by caeos 26k | Ttwo pining idiots (both of them pining but can't see it bc they are so concerned with their own pining, so in conclusion--they are idiots) but they are helped out by a little cosmic intervention (or in other words, talking to the stars) with pov changes!!
static by blessings 6k | Tteam seijoh gets snowed in at a sleepover at iwa’s house. i laughed the whole time, it’s such an upbeat cute story with some eventual half confessions so what more can you ask for
sunset town by skiecas33k | Tnon linear timeline of mismatched pining and confessions throughout the years as iwaoi try to figure their shit out (and with new information coming to light the further you get into the story!
cheek kisses by ohhotlamb3k | Goikawa surprises a stressed out iwa at his apartment and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. the build up WAS SO WELL WRITTEN, touches on what it is like missing another person, all these feelings are so REAL
in april by hiuythn28k | Tslice-of-life story where iwaizumi watches oikawa date people for six year until he gets his “oh” moment and oikawa is a jealous dumbass. this is the cutest reaction to a confession? excuse me?
super spy husbands series by leurauxe91k | G/T/Mcollection of fics, just some badass yet wholesome iwaoi husbands content. iwaoi are super spies and they go on hilarious adventures
told before and told again (oh, the tale is the same) by iwaoiks3k | Gim just copy pasting the summary, bc i swear this is one of the most beautifully written summaries ever: They fall in love slowly, gently, in a way so painfully obvious that the rest of the world can't help but stare - but so privately intimate it feels intrusive not to look away
memories hurt, so remember by lewdsuke3k | Ma reel of memories of their time together showing u all of their good and worse times but it’s a story of comfort and reassurance and it’s BEAUTIFUL. but i can FEEL the hurt
tokyo boy by verbrennung16k | Eoikawa realizes he is WHIPPED for iwa or hot american business man when it was just supposed to be a fwb thing, oops. never have i ever SCREAM AND WAS SO HAPPY @ CONFESSION TIME YES YES YES!!!!!
brunch friends series (here comes your man + you’ll never wait so long) by newamsterdam29k | T, Mthird person view (from my boy suga) on iwaoi's relationship. just a cute doctor au with brunch friends! has one of the best heart to heart convos ive ever read too
tongue tied by izayas172k | Mabout navigating life and it’s shitty timing, about falling in love and taking chances, about good solid friendships. a whole lot of commentary on the range of human emotion and the monologues r just so real and raw, i really appreciate the authenticity
right on time by findingschmomo5k | Tseijoh team goes over to oikawa’s house to watch the premiere of one of his space shows but shit happens and I JUST LOVE THE SEIJOH DYNAMIC
desperado by verbrennung82k | Mseijoh third years are conmen but it is inferred that something happened in the past to break them apart. daisho invites Iwaizumi to his wedding and in doing so, pushes him back into this world once again
'til infinity by pulsingblues2k | Gactually the CUTEST freaking story of past and present iwaoi
almost a stranger by mellish16k | Tiwaoi takes a trip to miyajima before iwa is set to go abroad. angsty-slow-burn-non-linear-college aus will always be my bread and butter and this one hits perfectly, it just captured all the emotions so freaking well i cried twice
thirty years and change (the games of the XXXIII olympiad) by sunsmasher19k | Gstory of loss and realizations. after 2 years of not speaking, japan vball captain oikawa invites iwaizumi to watch the olympic games. it has everything i am weak for: reunited after a few years of no contact! olympic sport wins! oikawa’s knee injury! “oh” moments! extremely thoughtful and cute confessions! SIGN. ME. UP.
i sure hope that guy gets fired by xov29k | Ttimeloop fic where iwaizumi basically has a crisis and Learns About His Feelings. pining oikawa is my fav oikawa and boy did his subtle pining HURT, i cried at his i love you and honestly idk why but the tears fell lol but this also had some real funny moments, real heart warming moments and moments where i screamed so enjoy
love me truly (madly, deeply) by day13k | Tup and coming actors oikawa and iwaizumi are set to star in a movie together, except oikawa has a track record of falling in love w his costars…
15 minutes by rightofpostponment17k | Tiwaizumi gets twitter famous over night, oikawa gets jealous and iwaizumi figures out why. hilariously written, the descriptions of some of the scenes were absolute gold
wavelength by hoppipp (fancy2na)17k | Tv slice of life, a nice summer trip of realizations, beach volleyball and new friendships. just filled with innocent juvenile vibes, the most wholesome friendship support ever and really just the best summertime feels — adventure, fun and soft ass confessions. one of my fav underrated iwaoi fics
florals for spring? groundbreaking. by missmairin24k | Tfather-son duo oikawa + shoyou befriends father-son duo iwa + tobio. i have melted into a puddle bc of how cute and endearing this is, but also bc HILARIOUS
i sure hope that the sun got rhythm ('cause he gonna dance when that music hit'm) by rekamohcs28k | Mstreet dancer!iwaizumi meets classically trained dancer!oikawa and it really is the stereotypical dancer au story. the iwaoi chemistry is TOP. TIER. friendship dynamics from iwa's crew and oiks' school friends are also great and we stan supportive parents!i like the use of hajime in this, oikawa uses it in the most perfect moments
leave me in your stardust by starlitcities13k | Tgod!oikawa tooru becomes interested in human!iwaizumi and decides to go down to earth to check it out in person. i actually cannot get over how absolutely beautiful this is and i actually really liked the ending and the choice oikawa makes, i think it was interesting and valid for his character? idk tell me ur thoughts
mint by tothemoon18l | Toikawa comes home after the olympics to a uni student iwa and it’s just a story of reconnection and relearning each other. tone, atmosphere and setting were set SO WELL, the slow build was EVERYTHING, and the characterizations were PERFECT.
and suddenly, we were strangers by izayas17k | Toikawa wakes up from a coma… with amnesia… and as a result, doesn’t remember iwaizumi is his fiancé…. you will really be /h u r t/ but at the same time, this is absolutely beautifully written. both heartbreaking and heartwarming
silence is sexy by deathbelle3k | Eoiks teases, but iwa can retaliate—in the best way possible… helloooo P O R N. iwaoi are so hot, it’s actually a lil unfair, but at the same time they are both so endearing?? like tell me how this fic managed both moods
most people never ever get a single high school rival by sulfate5k | G3rd person pov of iwaoi relationship, PURE SEROTONIN IN 5K WORDS. this is the fic that had me on argentina oiks brainrot for DAYS like im just crying bc of how far he has come and how much every team he plays for respects him and [cut for length]
terpsichore by lordessmeep38k | Eiwa confesses too early to a not ready oiks and then has to learn how to live without him, though fate always finds them.. the dialogue and conversations were my fav parts tho, they were just so real and knew exactly how to elicit an emotional response
turn our hearts to the stars by ninjaspaz3k | Goiks and iwa have a heart to heart before both of them leave to take their next steps. heartfelt and beautiful, really shows the depth of their relationship and nothing hits harder than them being ambitious in their own ways yet still love each other
going for gold by project_ecto14k | TNT (alternatively read: iwa love club participants) shenanigans at its finest. olympic fics are my downfall as always everyone is absolutely hilarious in this and i cant even articulate how much serotonin this brought me bc it made me laugh, as well as cry
give you my sunshine, give you my best by tripsh2k | Ta tender moment shared between iwaoi before their fated match! honestly, an ode to how far they have come, tbh watching them compete on the olympic stage never fails to bring me to tears and just overwhelmed with insane amounts of happiness and pride
the stars that remain by rains2k | Giwaoi go to a festival and watch fireworks, IWA IS SO TAKEN WITH OIKAWA THO AND IT’S FREAKING ADORABLE. seeing oikawa from iwaizumi’s pov was so refreshing and sweet, i absolutely loved all the moments about him being softened around oiks too aaaaa SOFT
how to (not) focus on the task you've been given, a guide by iwaizumi hajime by sunflowerdust5k | Tiwa agrees to help daichi out and train oiks on his free day, yet they do more than just train…. theres just something so enticing helping someone out w their shooting oooooof this was so hot and i could FEEL THE SEXUAL TENSION COMING FROM MY SCREEN
one extravagant family quarrel by sumeshi8k | Ti will NEVER, AND I MEAN N E V E R GET TIRED OF IWAOI OLYMPIC FICS AND THIS DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!! when argentina oiks thrives /I/ thrive too (and i also break down into a million pieces and cry for days bc im so proud of him)
before sunrise by loving_oikawa33k | Twarning: MCD. beautiful story about iwaoi’s love and the depth of their care for each other. all the moments are heartbreaking but heartwarming and beautiful but haunting, honestly it feels like those end of summer YA novels/movies and i LOVE that nostalgic feeling
dog days by devote9k | Gso perfectly encapsulates the summer after hs grad and the immense feeling of confusion and denial of leaving the peeps u care about and the uncertainty of the status of those relationships and just not wanting to grow up oof hits hard but beautiful
fernweh by oikawashoyo19k | Gexplores argentina oiks and how he navigates his new home. literally has everything from hilarious seijoh dynamics to coy iwaoi banter to mutual pining w a lil angst to ARGENTINA OIKS. DID I MENTION THE ARGENTINA OIKS? honestly my fav argentina oiks fic
where worlds collide and days are dark by eclectic inkling and starliticites42k | Mskyfall but make it iwaoi, literally. this had all the action, lil bit of angst and lovely flirty iwaoi banter that we alll know and love. also just the way they wrote around the skyfall plot was so impressive, we love!!!
a world alone by corinnana60k | Tiwaoi learn what makes their current universe, perfect. felt a lil too perceived w all the relatable mid 20s content like finding a job and adult friendships l o l, but also i love when oiks or iwas studies connect to plot points, i just think its so cool
chasing gold by skiecas45k | Mabsolutely beautiful story of iwaizumi watching oikawa tooru get everything he deserves—from a distance, until he decides to close that gap. this made me fall in love w them all over again, i just admire how far they have come and how they love each other
and yet the horizons bring us here by project_ecto30k | Tiwaizumi and oikawa follow their dreams, while also trying (and failing) to deny their red string of fate. there’s something so heartfelt but also heartbreaking about iwaoi learning to love across time and distance, but this ending makes it all worth it
in damp earth my body by mellish15k | Moiks finds a home in iwa after retirement but their long standing fwb habits make things a lil complicated. its the subtle slow burn and the breaking of the spell like stupor that fwb incite that no one wants to break bc of the comfort, that hurts SO good
your hands on my cheeks; your shoulder in my mouth by akira_kun7k | Tnothing stops iwaizumi from seeing through the promise he made to oikawa in hs—not the distance, nor the time difference. a beautiful story of iwaizumi’s journey in meeting back up with oikawa, with a lil big of angst, many flights and a whole lot of love
five minutes west of irvine by birdcat20k | Gafter 5 years of guilt, dedication, stilted conversations and no conversations at all, iwaoi reunite when oiks returns for the olympics. writing itself is beautiful, argentina oiks is, of course, beautiful but iwaoi’s everlasting love is the most beautiful
