Love your work!

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

Greetings everyone! Welcome to the shiny new USUKUS Twice Per Year!

First off, apologies for the delay and general radio silence. Behind the scenes here, we had a lot to work through and discuss before we could resume running this event. We're excited to be back, and hope several of the changes we've made will make things easier and more appealing to participate than ever!

Second, I'm sure everyone has some questions, so in no particular order let me try to hit the highlights.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── Passing of the torch With great respect, we tip our hats to previous TPY event runners Mayumi Sato and Ixie Pixie. Exciting real life things have picked up for them, and they're no longer able to dedicate the time and energy to this like they used to. In their stead, we would like to introduce the new admins:

TheNarcolepticOne & VerusMaya II

TPY is now co-sponsored and run by and from the USUKUS Network Discord, though rest easy - as usual, all relevant information will still be posted and updated here at the tumblr. ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── Process changes? We've taken note of comments, concerns, and critiques of how previous events were run, and we hope the processes we've changed will alleviate several of these issues. Changes include how we accept theme suggestions, how participants submit their work, where information is posted, and overall timeline of each half of the event.

Don't fret, though - after all these changes, for the first half of this year's event, we'll take it slow and explain things step by step instead of dumping all the new stuff all at once. So stay tuned! ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── Wider range Previously, TPY was run almost exclusively from the tumblr with an isolated Discord. This kept many potential participants in the dark, and obfuscated the suggestion and decision making processes. We are happy to announce that TPY will be expanding its range to multiple avenues of media. Every and all announcement will be crossposted to all of these, so those interested can follow us on multiple sites or just tune in to their preferred!

You can find us at: Tumblr https://usukustwiceperyear.tumblr.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/usukusnetwork/ Discord* https://discord.com/invite/QsaWuWCcQt

And contact us directly via: Email [email protected] Discord DM Verus#1337 or Narcoleptic#1918 * Instead of an isolated, specialized Discord just for TPY, we will be using the USUKUS Network as our staging ground. Everyone is welcome to join, and we will be happy to point you in the right direction for TPY-relevant announcements or discussion! ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding, and we look forward to many more years of incredible content for this beloved ship!

Like the previous one, this is an event in which authors and artists who enjoy USUK/UKUS will produce works inspired by a theme. This time, this theme will be “Based on a Book”. All participants have to register by May 17th 2022 12:00AM EST. The Deadline for the event will be July 17th 2022 12AM EST (which may be extended but try not to assume this) so we will organize everything in a collection in JPG and PDF formats.

This time, the work submission period will end on 17/7, with the possibility of a two-weeks extension for those who request it!
