GAH, writing this post took way too long :/ but! here it is! the first part of Oofuri recs!
Title: Anxiety ♥
Author: thehoyden
Rating: PG
Pairing: Abe/Mihashi
Summary: Abe wouldn't call himself a compulsive worrier. Anxiety is for people who don't have it together, who can't see ahead and don't know where the game is going.
Why: I think it’s one of the first few fics in the fandom. It’s a sweet little drabble, that shows Abe’s worry over Mihashi and how he tries to show it in small gestures.
Title: What Haruna Wouldn't♥
Author: pixxers
Rating: PG
Pairing: Abe/Mihashi, with side Hanai/Tajima
Summary: Abe's frustrations stem from something quite simple.
Why: I love the straightforwardness of this piece. It’s a short one, but really well characterized. It’s so intense it left me squirming the first time and recently I re-read it and I had exactly the same reaction.
Title: Graffiti♥
Author: tearstreak
Rating: PG
Pairing: Abe/Mihashi
Summary: Abe liked to think he always kept a close eye on Mihashi, but even he was surprised when Momokan pulled him aside and asked if their star pitcher was being harassed.
Why: I’m so sad that tearstreak left the fandom. She had one of the most adorable Abemiha. This is her first piece in this fandom and it’s both adorable and a bit bittersweet and so believable without it being over the top.
Title: Rare ♥
Author: tearstreak
Rating: PG
Pairing: Abe/Mihashi
Summary: They had just started dating but Abe’s becoming a little frustrated when he can’t seem to get a few seconds alone with Mihashi.
Why: Another cute piece, with awkward abemiha, amusing Nishiura commentary and I love the last scene <3!
Title: He was Drowning ♥
Author: tearstreak
Rating: PG
Pairing: Abe/Mihashi
Summary: Mihashi’s hands are always cold but he’s okay with it. Really.
Why: This is almost lyrical if you ask me. Again it’s short but in my opinion so worth reading. Really heartwarming.
Title: The Line ♥
Author: tearstreak
Rating: R
Pairing: Abe/Mihashi
Summary: Abe's not liking Mihashi's fans.
Why: I have this strange fondness for light jealousy (not the obsessive kind) and I also find jealous Abe kinda hot. This was also hilarious thanks to Tajima XD
Title: Tired
Author: tearstreak
Rating: PG
Pairing: Abe/Mihashi
Summary: It’s been a tiring day.
Why: It’s just an excuse to write them cuddling y/y? But really, future fics can honestly be adorable.
Title: Abe and his Struggles Against the Cute Pitcher Mihashi ♥
Author: inkwings
Rating: G/PG
Pairing: Abe/Mihashi
Summary: Mihashi. Cute habits. And thus, Abe struggles.
Why: This is really nothing complicated and could be really trivial if it weren’t so.damn.cute. just GUH
Title: (in parenthesis) ♥
Author: stitchedophelia
Rating: G/PG
Pairing: Abe/Mihashi
Summary: Since the day of Abe’s unplanned confession and Mihashi’s sort-of assent, it had become a daily habit of Nishiura’s battery to walk home together.
Why: It’s a bittersweet little fic that goes perfectly with the doujinshi it was based on.
Title: Straight Talking ♥
Author: cest_what
Rating: PG
Pairing: Abe/Mihashi
Summary: Somehow Abe can't turn the connection he has with Mihashi into any form of actual communication.
Why: I loved the concept of Tajima the interpreter and I laughed at the last scene like a loon XD
Title: Ownership of such fragile devices. ♥
Author: stitchedophelia
Rating: G
Pairing: None
Summary: Abe has a pet. He got it for free. He doesn't want it.
Why: For me this is kind of sad but also true little fic. I couldn’t help but sympathize with Abe a bit not to mention that I loved the slightly lyrical and beautiful style <3
Title: Valediction
Author: it’s from kinkmeme
Rating: G/PG
Pairing: Abe/Mihashi
Summary: So he can do it. It's only two more innings. SPOILERS

Title: From Your Skin
Author: Morien Alexander
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Abe/Mihashi
Summary: Abe was usually as abrupt and honest with himself as he was with others. But his honesty only extended to the point of things he could understand.
Why: I liked this short, sweet and amusing little fic. The last scene left me giggling. Abe can be both a bit creepy and yet sweet.
Title: Battery ♥
Author: Crimson Vixen
Rating: PG
Pairing: Abe/Mihashi
Summary: The next inning is the inning where Mihashi is convinced - and can't be unconvinced - that Abe is hurting.
Why: I really like this, it’s simple, it’s straight to the point and even touching. Also the double usage of the word “battery” made me go all awww both at the beginning and at the end.

Title: One Step Back ♥
Author: longleggedgit
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Abe/Mihashi
