♡ because my boy contains multitudes ♡

1. when he was trolling Vi right from the beginning

2. when he was fucking done with Tynan's shit

"nO, bUt I cAn NaRrAtE" lives rent free in my head

3. when he manages to lighten the mood right before making out with Violet for the first time

4. when he cannot contain his giddiness that he can now bother Violet without having to utter a single word

5. when he decides honesty in the best policy with Mira

6. when he is offended by breakfast

RELEASE:

USUKUS Twice Per Year 2023-2: "Across the Universe"

Important to note: I've only included fics written in 2023 / updated in 2023. I've also made a selection because I could not include ALL fics I read and loved, these are just the ones I keep coming back to and/or keep thinking about.

Nationverse

Caressed by Thorns by aiwendor

I'm not too big on nationverse (idk why actually) but I love a good soulmate fic, and this one delivers. Rating: M

Cardverse

His Otherworldy Highness by WhyHowdyThereExtras

One of THE cardverse fics for me. I've been following it since the beginning and it truly only gets better with each update. Pretty sure I'm going to combust once it's companion piece is published but until then I'm at the author's door begging for updates. Rating: E

Sciamacy by VerusMaya

The amount of detail in this fic is insane! So far the plot is incredibly intriguing to. Well worth a read, the way Verus writes is beautiful and pulls you into an imaginary world. Rating: E

Supernatural themes

Silver Chains & Chance Encounters by CharlotteKensington

HELLO?! Werewolf Arthur, supernatural cop Alfred, UKUS. It's every bit as good as it sounds.

Reasons Wretched and Divine by TheNarcolepticOne

One of those fics I would sell my soul for to have as a television series. Rated: E

Red Moon Eyes by boristhe5th

Making this list I realized I've a thing going on for vampires and werewolves. For this one, I do not understand why it's not better known - perhaps the lack of tags, but by god, it's a lovely read. Rated: E

Pomegranate Seeds by CharlotteKensington

Mythology is my JAM, I love a good Persephone x Hades interpretation. Charlotte delivers... in her note she says it's a feel-good fic and that's how I feel, too. Rating: Gen

Cast all your spells on me by Flybynight

It's a MAGIC AU BABYYYYY. Knight Alfred and sorcerer Arthur do everything but save a princess and we're all happy for it. Rating: E

Nyotalia

Love at First Headbutt by DemonicPiano

Tsunotalia and Nyotalia = perfection, though DP calls it Tsunyotalia. Exactly the kind of meetcute I want for the horn- (don't say it ore don't say it) horned girls. Rating: Gen

Yours by TheSilverPhoenix

There is NOT enough Nyotalia content but TheSilverPhoenix is its strongest soldier and delivers every time. And now with vampire, werewolf AND ukus too? Chef's kiss. Rated: E

Omegaverse

No time like the present by Flybynight

A Beautiful Blur (series) by Flybynight

I'm going to be honest - omegaverse is either a hit or miss for me, and many times, I'm not a big fan. But flybynight hits the nail on the head EVERY time for me... Rating: E

Miscellaneous

All According to Fantasy by WhyHowdyThereExtras

Exposing myself as a degenerate but I return to this fic every now and then to feel something. This fic is everything Riverdale hoped it would be /j (or am i). AND UKUS... mwah. Rating: E

Limited Time Offer by CharlotteKensington

One of those fics that will have you drop to your knees & ask 'when will it be my time' out loud. Rating: Gen

A Closer Look by alifeasvivid

Punk Arthur and Model Arthur and a whole lot of tattoos! Rating: E

1-800-Dial-A-Hero by AveryBlair
