c'est le ton qui fait la musique.

It's been a rough year, but at least we still have gay countries. If you're looking for some escapism, here are some good USUK fics posted or updated this year:

Time Travel

Time's Fool by Orestiad - Alfred is stuck in a time loop, courtesy of Arthur, but things are more complicated than they seem. Complete.

Norikov's Self-Consistency Principle by Fandoms_Are_Life37 - America travels back in time, meets pirate England, has sex, and learns a lot. Complete, but you need an AO3 account to read.

Cardverse

Waves of Blue by rosalillium - Arthur becomes Queen of Spades, despite a lack of magic. In progress.

A Spade of Hearts by libertea-4-all (esperwrites) - Arthur is sad that someone else will be Alfred's Queen.

Wooing Arthur is hard

Council Protocol by Orestiad - Starfleet Captain Alfred engages in inter-species diplomacy with alien Arthur. In progress.

Saved by the Bell by PromiseOfGrayskull - Alfred and Arthur are teachers who bicker. You know what that means! In progress.

Smut

blue jeans babe by kyolovable - England nails America on the hood of a car. UKUS.

What are you talking about, Al? What he needs most is his wife.

I'm sooo excited for the next episode!

Doodles of my take on Royal Executioner Alastor~ I like to imagine that Lu helping Al wasn’t even part of their deal, he’s there for the love of the game. I need them…to be insane together…

Tempted to actually put this on spotify so I can secretly stream it at work...
