thrice-divorced arthur and the guy who wouldn't mind being husband number four

[charlotte--kensington]

I started working on a new USUKUS fic about a princess (Amelia) falling in love with the moon (Arthur) and honestly, everything about this idea just feels incredibly pretty to me? Then again, I am clearly biased. But astronomy is beautiful and so are the things I have planned - at least in my opinion.

That being said... Snippets, anyone?

---

The first night

Amelia was alone. All was peaceful as she lay there on the roof, the skirts of her dress splayed around her and the near endless darkness of the night sky spread out above her like a blanket. It was no different from any other time of day, really. The stars gleaming above were the same as the ones that she’d seen at noon, the moon shone down onto her skin the same way it had done in the morning. All was dark, as it always was.

The princess folded her arms beneath her head, getting a little more comfortable. It had become something of a nightly ritual to her, this short while she spent up on the roof of the highest tower of the palace each night. Her parents still thought her mad for her love of the skies, and had they known of Amelia’s nightly activities, they surely would have done whatever was in their power to stop her from returning. But they hadn’t, and so she was up here once more, watching the tapestry of glittering lights in the distance.

With ease, she made out the asterisms sprawling across the inky black, connecting individual stars until she saw what had always been like a storybook to her. A book of creatures and giants, gods and heroes, tales written down in the world itself. Above her, a red star shone. Antares, she thought with a small smile, reaching out as though to draw the image of the scorpion that the star was a part of.

She had never understood how her teachers or her parents could not appreciate the sky this way. It was beautiful, unlike anything she had seen elsewhere. When Amelia had been younger they’d told her the stories of when the sun had first disappeared, but none of her teachers had been able to tell her why that was meant to be a bad thing.

They had argued that the lightless dark they lived in now made life hard, but Amelia hadn’t understood. Didn’t the stars still light their way? Didn’t the plants all around them, the lanterns illuminating their every home, the glowing fabrics of their clothes, didn’t they all bring light? Didn’t the moon still shine for them?

Again her teachers had claimed that this light was nothing like what it had been like before, but when the princess had asked whether they’d seen the sun, they had only told her no. It had been centuries, they said. Nobody alive today had ever seen the sun, it had been too long.

“And yet they all yearn for it…” she muttered to herself, shifting her attention back towards the sky. Whatever it was that made them all love the sun so much, Amelia couldn’t see it. Perhaps it was because she’d never known the sun, but then again, neither had they. Either way Amelia preferred the moon.

She turned over to where it was wandering across its nightly course, no more than a silver sickle against the vast skies. Not much longer and there’d be a new moon, she realised. There was something beautiful about that, about how the moon waxed and waned, over and over again, starting ever new, even when it had seemed as though it had disappeared. Had the sun done the same in the past?

The On-Fire Dumpster that Is My WIP Folder

These are more or less in order of priority...

Chapter limits and word counts are for my own guiding reference and are not set in stone.

Thief of Spades Season 2 (30ish chapters in total, 75-80k words) (ukus, detective/thief AU)- found out it's gonna take a little bit longer than I thought to finish it up but BY GOD I WILL DO IT. Nobody remind me that it's already been 8 months since I updated it. I know. I don't wanna talk about it. T_T

A Closer Look (one-shot, 5-6k words) (usukus, human AU) - hung over punk Arthur/stranger on the train Alfred with a tattoo "fixation" I think I can actually get it finished fairly quickly and I'm really enjoying it because it's turning out to be the most "they're both switches" thing I've ever done... and it's got a title now! Woo!

The Benefits of Being a Marine Biologist (working title, 25k-50k words, one-shot, no chapters) (ukus, monsterfuckery or rather, faefuckery) - No I will not elaborate further. ;P

The Floor is Lava (10-12 chapters, 40k-ish words) (ukus, omegaverse) - it's hella cute I'm not gonna spend a million years on it though. It's a romcom, it's gonna be paced more like one.

Expectations (15ish chapters, 50k-ish words) (ukus, omegaverse) - I'm resurrecting this one cuz I've done so much work on it--almost none of that work being actually writing it but the ideas!! I have them! and I need more alpha!Arthur/omega!Alfred and this one's ~sexy~ where FiL is more cute and fluffy.

Special Secret Project (4-6 chapters, 20k-ish words) - No spoilers!

Three-Part Harmony (on-going) (frusuk, human AU) - I've got more ideas for things these three can get up to >.> no plot, just more smut

Untitled (one-shot) (Ame+Can/Eng, canonverse, smut) - America and Canada team up on England. He may or may not survive the experience.

Some things I haven't forgotten about/stuff I lowkey want to do but haven't mentioned; all of which I may never do but WE'LL SEE:

Temptation Acknowledged (MAYBE) (priest!Alfred x demon!Arthur; ukusuk) Fuck it I might continue this. I got thoughts. I got feels.

If It's You: the smut bit

More ftm!Alfred stuff--including some with more heterosexuality (aka Alice). (oh the overly personal self-indulgence)

@ukus-so-much-potential <-- this

The Right Kind of Trouble - that nyo!ukus human AU with burlesque dancer Amelia and bartender Alice

Immortal being/time traveler AU

Stay by Your Side - the EngSey period thing which may or may not (but probably may) devolve into Arthur x Alfred x Angelique because I can (if I can ever be arsed).

*warms my hands near the fire* Does it not burn so brightly?

I'm gonna live forever.

WIP that List

Finally getting around to being tagged courtesy of @coralcatsea and @fireandiceland for the WIP Game List. Feel free to be peek. This could double as a way to get my word-spew organized. Yes, feel free to talk to me/share ideas about any of these.

Assume it's all USUKUS unless stated otherwise. :]

-

Free Use AU - Humanverse. Circles around a romantically-based found family trope of the Allies and blanket consent + free use kinks onto Alfred, who is a happy, spoiled pet sub. Currently uploading to AO3 with originally 6 fics planned, but I just recently wrote 2 more. The ideas keep coming.

Tsunyotalia piece - Tsunotalia + Nyotalia. NSFW. After writing Love at First Headbutt I just had a craving for more. May or may not already be written. Just deciding whether to keep it the way it is or stretch it out a little.

TOURNAMENT - Cardverse. One of those pieces that have the Kingdom of Spades competing to be the Queen, as well as winning King Alfred's hand. Fully outlined, writing in progress, but on hold for other projects.

Blindfold - Cardverse. AU of an AU. Idea came to me when I was writing Only a Matter of Time (and Waiting). Since the King of Spades has extremely powerful but cursed time magic in their eyes, they must wear a blindfold. Arthur is a woodworker who has been hired to go to the palace and remodel the King's bedchambers, where they meet and (vague gesturing). Particularly excited to work on it, fully outlined and working on this one right now.

Pirate Cardverse series - Cardverse. PIRATES. Pirate Queen for the Throne of Spades, yes! The series is almost already done. There's definitely one more fic to write, one for nyo!America/nyo!England since I did the other combinations for USUKUS. Not written yet, but planned. I'll have to perish before I don't write it.

✨Might squeeze out another Arthur/Amelia fic, something small and smutty as an epilogue to 'cap' the series.

Vampire Cardverse series - Cardverse. And vampires. Vampire Cardverse. This bastard. This has been in my brain since 2019, and I have so little to show for it. I had a whole giant story/backstories/series to go with it. Rumors are rising in the Kingdom of Spades of vampires, anything to explain inexplicable homicides. Is it really the vampires, or something trying to pin the blame upon the vampires? I got past 20 chapters/100,000 words and I lost the progress I made by doing some stupid overriding save mistake. I still have the outline but have hardly touched it since. Still mourning over it.

ABO Cardverse - ...Cardverse again. Probably typical but too bad—Alfred is an omega but gets the mark/power of the King of Spades. Omega King Alfred, yessir. Outlined, but not yet written.

Skyrim AU - It's Skyrim AU with Canada as the Last Dragonborn. One of the ones with no USUKUS as main focus. Two fics already written, taking place after the main events of the game, but when I continue this series, I plan to go back to the beginning to explore how it all started. Planned, not outlined, not yet written.

Spider-Man AU - SPOOOODER-MAN YES it's all just vibes right now, vibes, vibes, vibes. I have no idea what's gonna happen, no idea where it's going to go BUT ALFRED AND ARTHUR ARE SPIDER-PEOPLE AHHHHHH THWIP THWIP WEB SLINGING KA-POW, KA-POW! Not planned, not outlined, not yet written.

Two RusCan furry fauna bear things - 1) In the city, Matthew works for a sanctuary helping monsters make their way into society and/or out of abusive situations and other harmful situations. One of the people he helps is Ivan, a polar bear guy who is absolutely shut about his past.

2) Matthew is a fisherman who is told not to go through the woods on the outskirts of the village, but circumstances cause him to have to find a new spot, so he risks it and heads through the woods and learns the exact cause of the warnings. Both not outlined, half written.

Everything else is just ideas so far:

-Next part of monsterfucker series, probably going to be a plant-monster/dryad

-Cardverse RUKUS threesome fic

-Nordic 5 Christmas fic that's been in my head for 4 years but haven't gotten to it yet

-Mermaid/Naga USUKUS

Want to play the tag game? Start talking. 🔫 Yeah, @ you. This is your chance to yap about your WIPs, artist, writer, or otherwise!

[fireandspiceland]

imagine a couple sleeping, one wakes up, and that person slowly slips their hand inside the others underwear to slowly finger them. Maybe they get all the way to fisting before the other wakes up

Someone’s having some sweet dreams for sure huh

I’m basic af so my first thought for this was Maddie (nyo Canada) with whoever she trusts enough to let them fuck her while unconscious as well as usukus in pretty much any constellation. But also my hot take is Liechtenstein. She’s the innocent-looking type who’s actually kinky af and unexpectedly experienced.

So I was going to have Nyo USUK Week start on the 10th, but I'm wondering if that's too soon. I haven't seen much interest and I'm wondering if I should move it to later in November.

If you're interested in actually participating for this please sound off in the comments or tags if you reblog.

Brief Thoughts on Some Ships:

USUK: They're best friends who are obsessed with each other and always looking for excuses to hang out. They tend to info dump all over the other. They're stubborn, kind of petty, very protective, and have a hard time admitting how much they desire the other's company, praise, and attention, but they're working on it because they care deeply about the other. They're in love, your honour.

PrUK: One of the best slept on England ships. Two wild guys that go out to loud punk rock concerts and have drinks together, then quietly recharge at home (e.g. writing in their journals, reading fairy tales, and sewing). Fun personality combination? Check. History together? Check. Canon interactions? Check. Though they really could still use MORE canon moments, given how much potential they have. Pirate x priest with these two is always excellent.

EngBela: The sexy Addams Family-esque couple who live in an elegant gothic mansion and pass time indulging in their hobbies, such as fortune telling, talking to ghosts, singing, and listening to rock music.

FrUK: Used to be an OTP, now I mainly like them as close platonic frenemies. Romantically, it's better in theory than in practice – that is to say, it has potential, but I'm not a fan of most depictions. Also, nyo FrUK is superior.

AmeBela: The dorky hero and goth girl. They confused and exhausted each other at first, but eventually developed an understanding and started getting along pretty well. He can fix her. She can make him worse. Alfred tries to encourage Natalya to form her own identity away from Ivan. Natalya encourages Alfred's suppressed yandere tendencies. She pegs him.

Romerica: They bond over sharing their cultures with each other. Alfred loves Lovino's food. Living in America provided all sorts of new ingredients for Lovino to experiment with in cooking, and he got to be good at something without Feli taking the attention away from him. Lovino is actually a fan of some of Alfred's home cooking as well. They both enjoy singing and dancing, and are fans of Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Bobby Darin.

EngGer: They're both responsible and serious...until Arthur's wild side comes out and he starts teasing and playing games with Ludwig's head. Ludwig is socially awkward and a strict rule-follower, which Arthur can relate to, but he's better at being social and having fun than Ludwig, so he can help him loosen up – although in the bedroom, Arthur is more than happy with letting Ludwig be a strict rule follower. Ludwig is very obedient. Arthur trained him nicely.

AmeLiet: They're really domestic and get along well most of the time. They're comfortable enough that they can confide pretty easily in each other. Alfred is pretty protective of Tolys, particularly when it comes to Ivan. He doesn't like the way Ivan treated him and is quick to jump to his defence whenever possible. Additionally, Alfred is 'in love with the way Tolys undresses'. That's not questionable at all.

Almost subconsciously she reached up to feel the small pendant dangling from her necklace. The weight of the small gemstone felt comforting in her hand, almost warm to the touch. Her fingertips ghosted across its smooth surface and along the small golden spikes surrounding it, as she tore her eyes from the sea of light and glass below.

The emptiness persisted, but something about gazing up at the moon, about the way its gentle shine tinted the world in a mix of silver and blue soothed the crashing waves of thoughts and fears inside of Amelia. It did not calm the sea entirely, but it eased the worries that had turned her thoughts from a soft breeze into a storm of furious winds. The princess took a deep breath and closed her eyes, remained for a moment as she listened to the soft melodies of the night, the chirping of crickets, the last, longing tones of a nightingale’s song.

“You’ve got it easy up there, don’t you?” she asked with a look at the moon. “You don’t have to deal with any of this. You just do your rounds and that’s that.”

A cloud moved in front of the moon, and as it was blocked, the tower fell into darkness. There was no light up here, none beside that of the moon and the stars. For just a moment, Amelia sat there even lonelier than before, alone in the dark. Somewhere in the distance, a bell chimed midnight, a clear sound ringing through the night. A soft sigh escaped her, but she kept on watching, waiting until the light broke through the wisps of cloud once more.

“It’s unfair,” the princess said. “You’re never alone. You have all the stars in the sky to keep you company. Even if you hadn’t, there’s planets, entire galaxies out there… But I sit here alone.”

Her eyes wandered along the dark skies, over the myriad of stars glistening above, the images that had become so familiar to her and those that had not. When she looked back at the moon, it felt almost as though it was mocking her, taunting her with how brightly it shone.

“You know, one of my books says people used to wish upon the stars in the past, before the sun disappeared. All kinds of things… Money. Children. Health…” Amelia stared up at the moon, at the crescent shape that hung in the sky like an open palm, amidst stars to hold. “It’s stupid, really. To think a star would do anything to help you achieve what you ask for.”

With a glance back down, down to where more and more lights flickered and faded, she continued. “I guess it isn’t any more stupid than talking to you, if I think about it. What are you meant to do anyway? It’s not like you are listening to begin with.”

She laughed, but there was no glee in the sound. Desperation maybe, exasperation. Amelia looked at the moon, and though she knew it wouldn’t reply, though she knew her words were no more than a whisper on the wind, she spoke up once more. “I guess I am stupid too…” she murmured. “If you’re listening, I do have one thing I wish from you. Send me somebody. Send me a person I can love as much as I love the night, somebody as beautiful as the stars.”
