Yamada X Miyamura Novels & Stories

AO3 is absolutely stacked with Yamada x Miyamura content. The tagging system there means you can really drill down into what you're craving — missing moments, post-canon, coffee shop AUs, you name it. I've found some incredible long-form fics on there that do a fantastic job of expanding on their domestic bliss beyond the manga.

Honestly, the quality of writing can be hit or miss, but the hits are truly stellar. Sort by kudos or bookmarks and you'll usually strike gold. Wattpad has its moments too, especially for shorter, fluffier one-shots, but the organization isn't as good.

Honestly? I see so many people default to Miyamura being this super confident, protective boyfriend type in fics, and I think that's missing half his charm. The tension in 'Horimiya' came from how socially awkward and vulnerable he was, and I love fics that lean into that dynamic post-confession. Him getting flustered because Yamada holds his hand first, or her teasing him about his piercings. There's a whole subgenre of fics where they secretly swap clothes that I'm weak for—Miyamura borrowing one of her hoodies, that sort of quiet intimacy.

Some writers go the other way and make Yamada super jealous, which feels off to me. She's secure in their relationship, even if she's possessive in a cute way. The best fics I've read have them navigating high school life as a unit, like dealing with Sengoku and Remi's chaotic energy or Miyamura getting roped into one of Toru's schemes. It's less about dramatic conflict and more about the warm, domestic slice-of-life that the series does so well.

I’m not an expert or anything, but from what I've seen scrolling for hours, a huge chunk of 'Yamada x Miyamura' fics are just straight-up fluff. People really lean into that sweet, domestic side the anime only hinted at. You’ll find a ton of ‘what if they moved in together’ or ‘first Christmas as a couple’ stories. It’s almost like fans are filling in the gaps of their daily life post-confession because the manga time-skips a lot of the early relationship stuff. Some writers go for the ‘first fight and make-up’ trope too, exploring how two people with such different communication styles would handle a real argument.

A less common but really interesting theme I've stumbled on is identity reveal fics, but from a different angle. Not just Miyamura’s tattoos, but Yamada’s online persona or her own insecurities being discovered by the other. It’s a neat way to deepen the trust between them beyond the initial secret. I once read one where Yamada found Miyamura’s old, angsty poetry from middle school and he was mortified, but she thought it was beautiful. That felt very true to their characters.
