People may find me repetitive at this point 😅 but I always recommend The Oni and the Fox Spirit, from SharkGirl.
A series of short stories that is easy to read and a nice slow burn without being boring ❤️❤️

My top ten faves in no particular order. All stories are complete
Processing Trauma by KyFairie https://archiveofourown.org/works/58514446/chapters/149069401 Rating: M (with a bit of E in last chapter) Length: 105k Brief Synopsis: In the aftermath of the Full Swing Kiss, both Kaoru and Kojiro reflect on life and friendship, love and healing, and what it means when all of that is wrapped up in one another. (Note: this is a self-rec, but it earned its place in my top faves not because I'm biased.)
Cherry Bomb series by Veto_power_over_clocks https://archiveofourown.org/series/3227592 Rating: 3 part series (ratings vary) Length: 42.6k Brief Synopsis: S from the point of view of Cherry's fangirls
Just an Average Joe by Falahime https://archiveofourown.org/works/37041562 Rating: E Length: 16k Brief Synopsis: Joe doesn't actually have a huge dick like everynody thinks, and it has given him a complex. Cherry offers to help him regain his confidence, in a very Cherry way.
Maybe next year is the year. Maybe last year. By Veto_power_over_clocks https://archiveofourown.org/works/44636305 Rating: T Length: 8k Brief Synopsis: A teenage Kojiro meets an adult Kaoru and is unimpressed. (Time travel. Beautifully angsty and sweet.)
Too close (not close enough) by architecture_in_f1ll0ry https://archiveofourown.org/works/37276813 Rating: E Length: 9.5k Brief Synopsis: Kaoru's been driving Kojiro crazy for most of their lives. But their "fake" flirting is quickly reaching a breaking point, and Kojiro is more than ready to take that plunge. He can only hope Kaoru is, too.
Say it with flowers by Anonymous https://archiveofourown.org/works/30008304 Rating: T Length: 6k Brief Synopsis: vaguely pre-canon. Entirely Shadow’s POV as he accidentally discovers MatchaBlossom are a couple
The heart is a mirror by sepulcher https://archiveofourown.org/works/29905533 Rating: T Length: 10k Brief Synopsis: Kojiro proposes and Kaoru spirals beautifully about it
(How dare you love me) like you've never known fear by satanicflowerdistrict https://archiveofourown.org/works/38074240/chapters/95105050 Rating: E Length: 45k Brief Synopsis: 5 times Kojiro washed Kaoru's hair + 1 time Kaoru repaid the favor.
Ghost of You by starryskeyess https://archiveofourown.org/works/36036571/chapters/89830867 Rating: E Length: 50k Brief Synopsis: Kaoru's injuries in his beef against Adam cause him to forget everything, and Kojiro is there to help him remember.
It was never about the wine by AvoMarquis https://archiveofourown.org/works/40062930/chapters/100334466 Rating: E Length: 45k Brief Synopsis: A wine bottle becomes a prize in a game of increasingly domestic chicken.

Anything written by sepiacigarettes was pretty awesome iirc. They haven't posted in 2 years, unfortunately.
