What makes this a gem: I don't even know where to begin with this fic, because I've read it so many times, I've rec'd it to so many people... I think, ultimately, I have to say this is an all-time favourite. It's a genfic short story, which makes it almost the very definition of underappreciated, and if that's not enough, it focuses on Datekou, one of the least popular teams in the Haikyuu!! fandom. But even if this isn't what you'd normally go for, please give it a chance. The humour is incredible, the narrative is told in an immensely clever manner, and the writing itself flows wonderfully and keeps you hooked throughout. The fact that such a vivid story of such complexity is told in so few words is really masterful. And this is the kind of fic you can read over and over, and it never gets old. It's just that much fun.
