Just dropping by with now (functional!) links to this AkaFuri masterpost - in case you were ever looking for it and noticed tumblr broke everything… Sorry for the long wait, I’m not active here anymore but I was still getting messages now and then about the broken links. I couldn’t for the life of me find a solution for the original post, and I even tried to make a new one but tumblr still wasn’t allowing it. I finally opted to move them all to a carrd page instead. So, here it is for any AkaFuri shippers who are still interested: https://akafuri.carrd.co/ Let me know if any of the links are still broken, I will try to fix asap! * Please note however that since the original post is more than 5 years old, some of the blogs I linked may be gone now. :/ And lastly, although I don’t use my tumblr anymore, I just wanted to say I’m still very much in love with KnB and AkaFuri. :) This series will always hold a special place in my heart. Thanks for your time.

[AkaFuri] The President’s Guide to Furihata Kouki

Title: The President’s Guide to Furihata Kouki Pairing: Akashi/Furihata Summary:

More snippets from my AkaFuri office AU, of various moments when Akashi can’t help but think Furihata Kouki is not your average assistant.

Or, three birthdays, and five times Furihata stole Akashi’s heart.

Notes: Happy Birthday Akashi! This is the third and final companion piece to  Whether Asleep or Awake, marking the end of my At All Hours series. Read: HERE @ AO3.

“One medium americano, please.”

As the barista behind the counter punched in his order, Akashi looked over at the assistant next to him. Under groggy eyes, he stifled a yawn behind his shirtsleeve. “And for you, Furihata-kun?”

“Huh? Oh, I’m fine,” Furihata tried to smile in light of the offer, only for another yawn to escape him.

“Please,” Akashi insisted, grabbing his wallet from within his coat pocket. “You look as if you’re about to doze off any second now. Allow me to buy you a coffee, at the very least.”

“Um, well… okay then,” the brunette scratched the back of his head, “I’ll have a caramel latte then – extra shot of espresso, please.”

Once their coffees were ready, Akashi picked up both drinks and directed Furihata to a table by the window. They were at his favourite coffee shop, a classy but quaint café that Akashi liked to visit some days before diving into work. He wasn’t in any rush to get back to the office, and the biting cold of an early December morning didn’t make him very eager to be outside again.

[AkaFuri] And Now, in Reverse

Title: And Now, in Reverse Pairing: Akashi/Furihata Summary: On every other day of the year, Furihata is Akashi’s trusted personal assistant. But Akashi knows that November 8th is not just any day, and so he has an idea to switch things up.

Notes:  Happy Birthday Furi! This is my birthday tribute to our dearest Kouki, and the second companion piece to my AkaFuri office AU, Whether Asleep or Awake. It takes place about a year after the events of the original fic, which I would recommend reading before hopping into this one-shot (although it’s not totally necessary!) Explicit rating for birthday sex, ayy. Read: HERE @ AO3.

It was only a couple minutes past midnight when Akashi wordlessly handed over a thick stack of papers to Furihata, who’d been sitting in the living room of Akashi’s condo. Furihata lowered the volume on the TV, the late-night program fading into background noise, as the documents came neatly into his hands. He raised a brow as Akashi took the seat next to him on the couch. The slightest hint of mischief lit up his handsome face.

“What is this?” Furihata asked. It was unusual of Akashi to saddle Furihata with any form of work when they were off hours. Ever since their relationship began, Akashi lived by the rule that as long as they were off the clock, Furihata wouldn’t be troubled with any assistant-like responsibilities.

“Your birthday present,” Akashi said simply, as if that answered his question. “Well, a portion of it.”

Furihata skimmed the first few pages – legal jargon that was mostly familiar, though the lengthy paragraphs still went over his head. He caught his own name here and there, and another that flagged his attention: Le Pavillon. It was the name of a French-Japanese restaurant in Ginza that was one of the couple’s favourites; one that Akashi had first taken him to a year ago, before they were dating.

Realization hit Furihata’s stomach like an unexpected rollercoaster drop.

“Uh, Sei… I might be jumping the gun here, but does this say… that I now own Le Pavillon?”

Akashi tilted his head and smiled, “I see your understanding of legal wording has improved greatly. You didn’t ask me to explain this time.” He said it in a way that told Furihata he was proud of him. It would’ve been a nice moment if the assistant wasn’t so floored by the revelation of what his “birthday present” entailed.

“Wait, wait, hold on a second,” he was still fumbling to catch his thoughts. “You bought a restaurant for me?!” Furihata gaped, punctuating every word.

[AkaFuri] The Assistant’s Guide to Akashi Seijuurou

Title: The Assistant’s Guide to Akashi Seijuurou Pairing: Akashi/Furihata Summary:  Akashi needs a personal assistant and Furihata hopes he’s the man for the job. Furihata’s POV of my AkaFuri office AU. Notes:  Snippets from Furihata and Akashi’s life as they go from co-workers to lovers. This is a companion piece to my fic, Whether Asleep or Awake (I Think of You), and I wrote this with the intention of telling Furihata’s side of the story. It’s not absolutely necessary, but I would recommend reading the original fic for a better understanding of some events! Read: HERE @ AO3.

“Before I go, I trust you’ve already checked your Oha Asa ranking today?”

Akashi’s face stiffened ever so slightly, but enough for Furihata to notice. Uh oh. Had he not checked the email Furihata sent him this morning with his horoscope details? Well, he had just returned from back-to-back meetings with shareholders, so there was little time to spare for something so trivial. But if Furihata had learned one thing from his first month as Akashi’s personal assistant, it was that the president made an effort to never appear negligent before his subordinates. It was why he always brushed up on all the nonsensical Oha Asa specifics before his meetings with Midorima, the CFO of their subsidiary company.

Before Akashi could answer him, Furihata dug into his back pocket and retrieved a pack of triple A batteries. He stepped in between the two men and placed it on Akashi’s desk. It’s a good thing I had time to stop at the conbini this morning.

“Sagittarius in the bottom half, right?” he said, notebook in his hands opened to a page where he’d scribbled the horoscope earlier on the train. “Since Akashi-san’s rank was pretty low today, he asked me to get his lucky item. Just in case.”

[AkaFuri] Whether Asleep or Awake (I Think of You) - Chapter 5 (Final)

Title: Whether Asleep or Awake (I Think of You) Pairing: Akashi/Furihata Summary: Akashi needs a personal assistant and Furihata might just be the man for the job. AkaFuri corporate/office AU. Notes: Chapter 5 (final) – Today, Tomorrow, and Every Day Read: HERE @ AO3.

“Here’s your coffee, Akashi-san… uh… cappuccino, right?”

Akashi tipped his head up, craning his neck more than he’d like to, as he frowned at the tremendous figure before him. Feathery purple bangs fell over the almost lifeless eyes that stared back at him. Everything from the man’s lazy demeanor to the way his voice dragged every word made it seem like he didn’t want to be there. And well, Akashi didn’t exactly want him there either.

Elbow propped on his desk, Akashi’s forehead fell to his open palm, “No, Murasakibara-kun. What I asked for was an americano.”

“Oh… sorry, Akashi-san… I’ll get it right next time…”

Akashi really, really hoped there wouldn’t be a next time.

But Furihata was still away from the office, down with a fever according to Momoi, and it had already been three days since the Christmas Eve party, and two since Murasakibara from Marketing came to temporarily fill-in for him.

To Akashi, that was two miserable days at work without the peace of mind that came with Furihata’s reliable aid, and three miserable days of him dwelling in the aftermath of what happened between them at the Christmas party.

[AkaFuri] Whether Asleep or Awake (I Think of You) - Chapter 4

Title: Whether Asleep or Awake (I Think of You) Pairing: Akashi/Furihata Summary: Akashi needs a personal assistant and Furihata might just be the man for the job. AkaFuri corporate/office AU. Notes: Chapter 4 – And Hearts Will Be Glowing Read: HERE @ AO3.

Christmas.

Akashi had never had any special feelings towards the holiday. He could understand the grounds for excitement though – time off work, a chance to be with loved ones, food and gifts aplenty – but as someone who basically worked every day of the year, spent most of his time alone, and could indulge in the finer things whenever he pleased, he was mostly indifferent. Christmas had always felt like every other day, but with just a little more cheer and a bit less dread in the air.

But as Akashi stood at the service counter of a department store, handing over a leather briefcase to be gift-wrapped, there was a strange anticipation in him that hadn’t been there before. It was like all the festivities, the decorations, the merriment around him weren’t so trivial anymore.

“Merry Christmas,” the woman behind the counter presented an intricately wrapped box to Akashi. A black ribbon with silver trimming was strung tightly around a neat white encasing. There was a deep green pine tree sprig nestled at the center.

Akashi smiled as he took the box with him.

Akashi had no idea how he did it, but Furihata had somehow managed to convince him to take the day off.

He looked at the clock on his nightstand – half past nine. Work had started more than an hour ago. Frowning, he laid indignant on his bed, wondering if he should try to fall back asleep or get up again. He’d been awake since a little before six, his body too in tune with his schedule to break the habit for one day. Akashi had already completed some of his morning tasks, including reading news articles and working out at his private gym. After a brisk shower and breakfast on the terrace, he had somehow wound up back in bed. It felt like he’d been up for so long, how was it still only nine a.m.?

His frown deepened as he recalled the conversation he had with his assistant only a few days ago.

“Akashi-san, you don’t have any meetings this Friday. And all the departments are finished with their quarterly assessments, which you’ve already reviewed,” Furihata was looking at his schedule, drafted neatly into that notebook of his, “I think you should take the day off.”

[AkaFuri] Whether Asleep or Awake (I Think of You) - Chapter 2

Akashi was holding a steamy americano in a leather gloved hand, having just departed from a particularly renowned coffee shop that he liked to visit when he had time. Next to him was Momoi, who was sipping her chai latte with a cheerful expression as she walked with him to the office.

The early morning breeze was brisk against Akashi’s face. With his free hand he tugged at the scarf around his neck.

“I’m surprised you didn’t get your new assistant to hand deliver that to you,” Momoi remarked, a hint of teasing in her tone.

“Yes, well, although I do have the extra help now, I’d like to think I’m capable of walking to a café and grabbing a coffee myself,” Akashi said with a smirk.

“Furihata-kun is doing pretty well, isn’t he?” The pink-haired girl commented. She said it in a way like she was patting herself on the back for a job well done. “He’s lasted longer than the others. How long has it been now?”

[FuruHon] Words Escape Me (When It's Us Two)

Title: Words Escape Me (When It's Us Two) Pairing: Furuya/Hongou Summary: “Hongou is in the kitchen of their dormitory, swift sounds of a knife against a chopping board impeding on their usual silence. Furuya always thought it was a strange fact, that Hongou likes to cook. Not only that, but he wears a navy-blue apron, too, and he yells at Furuya to stay away from the stove because he’s distracting him, and it’s all so domestic, and nothing like the Hongou that Furuya first met at Koushien.” Notes: I just wanted to write domestic FuruHon. I have no other excuse. Also help this ship is so rare and I have so many feelings about them. Read: HERE @ AO3.

“Furihata-kun.”

“Yes, Akashi-san?”

Akashi was staring at the brunette in front of his desk, who, like always, was too nervous to make eye contact, “Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I believe I had asked you to pick up my dry cleaning.”

“Um, yes, you did!” Furihata said with an anxious nod of his head, eager to please. He inched closer to Akashi and placed a shiny black item next to his laptop. It was Akashi’s credit card. “Here you go.”

Akashi looked down at Furihata’s empty hands and then back at his increasingly anxious face.

“Furihata-kun,” he said again.

“Yes?”

“Where is my dry cleaning?”

[AoKaga] Neon Lights

Title: Neon Lights Pairing: Aomine/Kagami Summary: It should’ve been a simple task – walk in, grab a drink, and head home. But one night turned into far too many, and now Aomine was crushing hard on the red head who worked the night shift at the convenience store. Notes: A belated AoKaga Month submission. This is part two of my convenience store AU. I know it’s been years, but I never expected to continue this AU until the inspiration hit me one day. This part is written in Aomine’s PoV and serves as both a prequel AND a sequel to ‘Night Shift’ which was told from Kagami’s perspective. Read: HERE @ AO3.

Aomine could still recall the first time he saw Kagami at the convenience store. It had been another grueling night of practice and he’d stepped out of the 24-hour gym a little before two a.m. In all honesty, no one on the team expected Aomine to practice that late into the night; he was doing it out of his own resolution. Now that he was in college basketball and the possibility of going pro was becoming more and more real, he had fallen into an unprecedented discipline (to Satsuki’s shock, most of all). The ensuing routine of practice, working out, and more practice had him taking shots on the indoor court well past any reasonable hour.

On most nights after practice he liked to replenish with a sports drink. That night, however, Aomine was glaring down a vending machine that had just eaten his 500 yen with no intention of presenting a drink, or even his change, in return. And there was probably no staff around at this hour (other than the clueless night receptionist and one lonesome security guard) who could help him out.

Rather than take his chances and wasting any more money on the machine, Aomine walked out of the building, his gym bag slung over his shoulder. If memory served him correctly there was a small convenience store just down the block.

hi all,

i’m not active on this blog anymore but i checked my messages recently and saw that the links for the akafuri masterpost aren’t working anymore. i’ve tried everything i can think of to fix this and it doesn’t seem to be a problem with the html... does anyone know if there were any changes to tumblr in the time i’ve been away that would’ve broken the links?

if anyone can offer any help that’d be much appreciated! if not, i’m thinking of just making the html available for you guys to copy+paste into your browsers since the links are all still there. i want to at least keep the masterpost accessible since i still seem to get messages here and there about it. :) thanks!

Hi guys! Just wanted to let you know that my blog was suspended for some time but it’s back up now. I still don’t have much time to update it but at least my previous posts are available once again (in case you were looking for something!)

And of course, my apologies for taking so long to get it restored/being a crappy blogger in general. :/
