#yousana fic

[tailsbeth-writes]

Saw the open tag from @taste-thewaste on this! This took me down memory lane a bit 🥲

How many works do you have on ao3?

61

What's your total ao3 word count?

138,797

What fandoms do you write for?

Red, White & Royal Blue mostly but I'm happy to write Heartstopper and og Skam.

I've written for Riverdale, Teen Wolf, Skam France, Wtfock, Druck, Skam Italia & Shadowhunters in the past.

Top five fics by kudos:

Digital Love Letters (RWRB)

i try hard to get back inside your arms alive (RWRB) - and particularly insane as I posted this last week! 🥰)

Right Kind of Wrong (Riverdale)

your heart is your masterpiece (RWRB)

a frightening magic I cling to (RWRB)

Do you respond to comments?

Yes! They make my day, I screenshot my faves. I also love when someone finds a fic that has lots of chapters & I get a flurry of comments 🤌🏻

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Tricky, I don't usually finish on angst. Echo (Wtfock) follows on from a very horrendous part of the show or Season 5 - Magnus (Skam) never got finished so it's been left in the midst of angst.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Most of them end on a happy note but Love, Henry (RWRB) is probably the happiest.

Do you get hate on fics?

I think there was a little back when I started in Riverdale but I think it more anger on their part for a topic I could have written more sensibly I suppose? I've had critique on fics now but never hate.

Do you write smut?

I've written it one time years ago & it felt weird. I loooove writing foreplay though! But I've not ventured into smut in my current fandoms. That might be something I do though, my bigender Alex fic might go into that if there's sequel.

Craziest crossover:

I've only done one and it was a Riverdale meets Teen Wolf, it was a Christmas special and they had to help reunite Santa with his reindeer. While I haven't watched Riverdale for ages, I'm still really proud of that fic!

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No, thankfully!

Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, I'd love that though 😄

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No but I'd absolutely love to collab this year, in the RWRB fandom in particular y'all are so talented 🥲

All time favorite ship?

Firstprince (RWRB) probably. Wilmon (Young Royals) is a close second atm, I'd love to write some YR fics soon. I'm still a massive Yousana (Skam) and Davenzi (Druck) shipper too. Oh and Nathan/Annalise/Gabriel (TBSATDH) - can't remember the ship name! That show got cancelled too soon & it was basically like a fix it for the books.

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I have a Teen Wolf reader insert fic with a pregnancy story line that I left on a huge cliffhanger but frustrates me but not enough to motivate to finish it. I also have my Skam season 5 - Magnus fic that I'd love to finish one day but I haven't found the plan I made for it originally.

What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue and character voice I think?

What are your writing weaknesses?

Plotting? I'm good at writing scenes but writing a longer storyline in fanfic is something I struggle with.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

If you can do it, go for it! I wish I could incorporate more Spanish in my RWRB fics but alas I only got French or German at my school, I only stuck with French. Maybe I'll brush up & add some in for Henry (RWRB) or Nick (Heartstopper).

First fandom you wrote in?

Riverdale, I haven't seen it in years 😅

Favorite fic you've written?

i try hard to get back inside your arms alive is the probably the one I'm proudest of and while it isn't finished yet Her Royal Highness is up there cause it combines so many of my favourite things, I'm getting to explore darker topics in some scenes while also putting Henry in drag - fanfic catnip for me quite frankly!

I'm not sure who has done this already but I'll tag folks I want to see answer this: @heysweetheart-writes @candyspandemonium @firenati0n @onthewaytosomewhere @callumsmitchells & of course, open tag 💛

Happens Every Time (part two)

A Yousana AU in which they grow up together and are friends. However, the older they get the more complicated their friendship gets.

(inspired by this music video)

Part 1

Also on ao3 if you prefer that.

His 16th birthday Yousef decided to celebrate in a small circle. He doesn’t like that much attention on himself so that’s why most of Elias’ suggestions were shot down. As his best friend, Elias just wanted Yousef to have a nice 16th birthday but that made his ideas come out very extra.

“Elias, I just want to invite some friends and eat and play FIFA or something. Nothing big.”, Yousef finally says, not wanting to hear more about the ten thousand different plans Elias has already made. Yousef appreciates the dedication a lot, and he is the same on Elias’ birthdays, but being on the receiving end of this is not the best thing for him.

Elias sits on the table in front of Yousef and rummages through his school bag to find something to write on. They’re chilling in one of the empty classrooms since it really doesn’t bother anyone.

“Okay, your call.”, Elias answers, “So who do you want to invite?”

Yousef leans back in his seat, crossing his arms over his chest and thinking for a moment. Who does he want to spend his birthday with? His family will be there on his actual birthday, and the following weekend he’ll invite his friends. That was the plan he had in his mind so far.

“Well,..”, Yousef begins talking and with a smile on his face continues when the first two faces pop into his head, “You and Sana, obviously.”

Elias grins at his best friend. Of course these Bakkoush siblings need to be mentioned first because they’re Yousef’s closest friends.

“The boys, too.”, Yousef continues. He furrows his eyebrows in concentration and while he thinks, Elias writes down the names.

Mikael, Adam and Mutta. Elias and Yousef met these three boys on the first day at Elvebakken. And it didn’t take more than one break to become really good friends with them.

“The dance crew.”, Yousef lists and keeps mentioning a few more people he wants to see on his birthday.

-

When Sana got ready and packed Yousef’s present she didn’t think much of it. Going to Yousef’s house is nothing too special. Sometimes Sana finds herself there without Yousef or Elias with her. She really gets along well with Yousef’s mother and one of his cousins is always at his house and Sana gets along really well with her, too.

The thing is Sana didn’t realize one big thing.

She’d be the only girl at his birthday party. She didn’t realize it until she stepped through the door and found herself surrounded by boys, all at least two years older than her.

That alone wouldn’t have been a problem. Thanks to Elias and their older brother, Sana is used to being surrounded by older boys that hang around her house a lot. This time though, as soon as she steps in the living room, Sana feels all eyes on her. And they follow her every step.

What’s their problem? Haven’t they ever seen a girl? , Sana thinks.

She finds Yousef in the kitchen and immediately gives him his present. She knew what he wanted so it wasn’t hard to find it. Of course he didn’t tell her. Yousef would never tell her or anyone that he wants something for his birthday. No matter how often you ask. The only exceptions are his parents.

Yousef’s eyes follow Sana’s movement as she reaches out to hand him the bag. For a moment he is incapable of gripping the bag. He is distracted.

Sana started wearing the hijab some time ago. To Yousef it’s like he has never seen her any differently. The light grey hijab she is wearing now is making him smile involuntarily. The last couple of months she’d been wearing almost exclusively black, and that’s her choice obviously, but Yousef can’t deny that she looks beautiful.

He would never deny that, anyway.

His friend is a very pretty girl. Not that this is his main focus. Sana is his friends for many reasons.

“Yousef.”, Sana calls his name softly, waving her hand in front of his face.

Getting pulled out of his thought Yousef chuckles slightly, trying not to show what he was thinking. He once dared to tell Sana she looks really pretty when she wore a pink dress for Eid and she wouldn’t look him in the eyes for the next hours. Although Yousef still doesn’t get why that was a big deal, he keeps a note at the back of his head. He compliments all his friends, all the time. Being positive and friendly is underrated, Yousef thinks.

“Yousef. Snap out of it, whatever it is.”, Sana laughs, shaking her head at him. “I got you something and I hope you like it.”

Yousef narrows his eyes at the bag and lifts his eyes to meet Sana’s. Looking at her accusingly Yousef says: “Didn’t I say I don’t want a present from you?”

Sana gasps at that, also narrowing her eyes, mimicking him in everything he does: “You just don’t want a present from me. Okay, I get it. And I thought we’re friends.”

It’s obvious in her tone that she’s just joking. Yousef knows that. He has been bickering and fighting with her over stupid little things for the past years. Still, there is a small nagging feeling in his stomach that makes him want to ask her if she really is just joking, whenever she uses this tone. That doesn’t happen with Elias, or any other friends of his.

Grabbing the bag out of Sana’s hand he makes a point in opening the bag slowly while looking at her. Rolling her eyes, Sana just waits. She is almost certain he’ll like it. So she can’t wait for him to open it.

But he doesn’t get to now.

“Yousef, the boys are here!”, Elias’ voice can be heard.

‘More people?’, Sana thinks to herself. The living room was already pretty full. But Yousef is a likable person so it’s not surprising at all.

.

“So you’re Elias little sister?”, Adam, a boy with very bright eyes asks Sana.

Sana nods and asks: “And you’re Adam, right?”

The boy chuckles and grins at her. “So you heard about me?” Why is he so cocky again? And even though he’s cocky like that, Sana can’t help but like him already. He is very similar to her brother. She can see how they get along with him so well.

“Not much, really.”, Sana shrugs. She didn’t know another person was listening but when Mikael turns to them and hold his hand out for her to high-five her, she looks at him confused. What even is going on with these boys?

Sana has to admit though, out of all the people in here Adam, Mikael and another boy named Mutta are the most likable ones. These three don’t look at her weirdly when she does .. well, anything.

As an answer to the confusion on Sana’s face, Mikael smiles at her crookedly and explains: “You’re not letting his ego get awfully big. That’s amazing. High-five for that.”

.

“I guess, she is only here because she’s Elias’ sister.”

“She’s a kid. Doesn’t matter whose sister she is.”

“I don’t get why Yousef didn’t want to invite some other girls from class but invited her.”, a blond guy with curls says.

Sana wishes she wouldn’t have walked into the kitchen. She didn’t think she’d hear something that makes her chest tighten and breathing hard.

Yousef’s house is a safe space for her. Usually. Especially with what’s going on in school. These things are not the same things Sana gets to hear every day at school, but these are things that are similar enough.

Being compared to the ‘other girls’ and them being preferred is just one of the things.

Instantly something moves in Sana. She swallows the lump in her throat, takes a deep breath and walks back into the living room. Her brother is playing at the PlayStation so she walks up to him, leans down a little and tells him she’s going.

“What? Why?”, Elias instantly asks in a hushed voice, since Sana was talking in that tone too.

Sana just shrugs and tells him she’s going one more time and leaves the room.

-

Elias slept over at Yousef’s that day. The next morning, being a Sunday, Mama Bakkoush invited the Acars over for breakfast.  

As soon as he steps foot into the house, Yousef asks where Sana is. When told she’s in the garden, he doesn’t even take his shoes of and walks out again. His parents don’t care much; their kids have been hanging out since they were little. It’s the usual.

Elias knows better. When Sana left the day before, Yousef noticed about five minutes later. He couldn’t come up with a good reason why one of his best friends would leave his birthday party so early. So he wants to ask her.

“Sana?”, Yousef calls out for her. “Sana!”

He finds her in their backyard, at the basketball hoop. She has headphones in her ears and looks so concentrated and so still for a moment that he can see the small age difference clearly. And somehow that bothers him. He doesn’t care how old his friends are.

It takes Sana a moment to see Yousef and when she does, she takes off her headphones and smiles at him. Of course he smiles back but then goes to take the basketball out of her hand and dribbles it once or twice.

“Hey! What was that for?”, Sana asks, walking closer slowly.

Yousef holds the ball in front of him and shrugs. “Why did you leave so early yesterday?”

Sana takes two quick steps and almost is able to get the ball but that height difference makes it impossible for her to get it. Yousef is being a little shit by holding the ball up over his head.

“I just didn’t want to bother with your friends and all.”, Sana answers, not really looking him in the eyes. Yousef knows this behaviour. Sana is not scared of confrontation, ever. But somehow this is the third time, as far as Yousef can remember, that she doesn’t tell him things.

“Bother with my friends?”, Yousef asks incredulously. “ And what are you? I thought you’re my friend too?”

He doesn’t move further away, in contrary. He takes a step forward. Sana on the other hand stops. She doesn’t move closer, she doesn’t try to grab the basketball.

The sun is shining into Yousef’s face and he can barely look at Sana properly. He shuts one eye and lifts his free hand to shield the other one. Somehow, this moment makes Sana take a step back. Yousef’s dark hair falls onto his forehead and his furrowed eyebrows twitch shortly.

“Yeah. I am.”, Sana finally brings herself to answer which was harder than it should have been.

“Good.”, Yousef answers with a smirk and throws Sana the ball. She doesn’t expect it and is caught off guard but still manages to catch it.

She glares at the tall boy and is about to say something when Yousef starts talking before her.

“You’re one of my best friends and I’m not sure why you really left yesterday..”, Sana opens her mouths but Yousef knows Sana well enough so he just continues talking, “… but thank you for your present.” He unzips his coat and shows her the jumper with his favorite band on the front. “Even though I told you I don’t want a present.”

“You’re welcome.”, is all that Sana says with a smile, showing her dimples, before turning away and throwing the ball into the hoop.

The wind blows the dark fabric of her hijab over her shoulder and Yousef’s eyes can’t help but follow it. She’s back to black but it’s Sana. Everything looks good.

And even though Yousef knows there must have been something to make Sana leave early, he wouldn’t push her to tell him.

He can’t help but remember the disappointment when he realized she was gone the day before. Not long before she left he had seen her talk to Adam and Mikael and she seemed to have a good time. He should have paid more attention to her. Or invited more girls so she doesn’t feel left out. But he couldn’t really think of any girl but Sana that he wanted to have there, at that day.

When Sana keeps ignoring him and shooting hoops, he runs over to her and catches the ball before she can and with it in his arms he walks away, without saying anything. In the direction of the door to get inside.

“Yousef, what’s wrong with you?”, Sana asks and he can hear her laugh which makes him smile.

“Nothing. Just thinking if I should leave your birthday party early too.”, Yousef answers, looking over his shoulder.

Quickly Sana catches up with him. She opens the door and holds it open for him.

“Who says you’re invited?”, she says with a smug grin.

“Wow, Sana. No way. I’ll show up even if you don’t invite me. What are friends there for? To invite them to birthday parties.”, he shakes his head and looks at her disappointedly, “And you call yourself a friend.”

Soulmates (continuation of 4x08)

Hey!

So this is just a quick little fic I’ve written about how I think a yousana conversation would’ve been today after Sana read those text (aka the cutest texts ever)

It’s really short and not really good but I hope you like it :)

---------------------x--------------------------------

“So, who’s that?”

She had been so focused on watching Noora and William leaving the party together so they could talk that she hadn’t heard Yousef approaching her. She turned around and looked at him

“Um, that’s Noora’s ex-boyfriend” she explained

Yousef nodded with an unimpressed expression.

“It’s okay if you’re jealous” she said

“Huh?”

“I mean, he’s her one true love and so on, no one will judge you for being jealous”

She tried so hard not to laugh at his confused look

“But why would I be jealous?” he asked

“Because you have a thing with her” she said shrugging

“I, what?” he widened his eyes in surprise “No, no, no. We don’t have a thing”

“Well, you seemed really into her when I saw you kissing at SYNG”

“You…you…?” he stuttered

“Saw you? Yeah I did” she said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world

“No, no, no.” he said shaking his head more to himself than to her “That’s not…we didn’t…Noora and me…”

“Yousef, breathe” she said

“I can’t believe this is happening, I can’t believe I screwed up like this” he muttered

“I’m not following you” she frowned “Look it’s okay, you like Noora and well she’ll probably get back with William but you’ll get over here”

“I won’t get over her because I’ve never been under her” he blurted out

“Wow, that’s too much information” she said biting her lip

“No, no, that came out totally wrong” he took his snapback off and brushed his hair with his fingers before putting it back on “Let’s start again”

Sana just looked at him waiting for him to talk

“Okay…Sana, Noora and me, we’re not…we never were…I mean she’s not…but you are…and me. I told her and she told you but you told her…and…”

“Yousef you’re not making any sense”

“I know it’s just…this is really difficult for me to say…Sana I think that you…that you and me…”

“That we’re soulmates?” she finished raising her eyebrows at him with a smug smile

“What?” he said blinking way to fast.

Sana tried to hold the laugh but she couldn’t manage to do it and burst out laughing.

“Sana?” Yousef asked still trying to understand what was happening

“Noora let me read your texts” she said biting her lip

“No she didn’t” he said panicking

“Yup, she did”

“I…I…I just…” he tried to speak but he was too flustered to even say a word.

He felt his cheeks blushing, his heart pounding fast on his chest, if there were a record for most embarrassing moment this would be the number one followed by the one time she had caught him dancing in her living room.

“You just…like me” she said smiling

“I can’t believe she showed you those texts” he said shaking his head

“And I can’t believe you asked her for advice” she chuckled

“Yeah…I did…and now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to find a nice rock I can crawl under” he said turning around to leave

“Wait” she said grabbing his arm to stop him

He faced her again but he closed his eyes too embarrassed to look at her

“Yousef, look at me” she said

He opened his eyes and looked at hers

“Are you looking into my eyes now?” she said quoting him from that afternoon they spent together

“I am” he said in a low voice

“What was I going to say?” she joked

He squinted his eyes at her and she laughed

“Oh, yes I remember now…I was going to say that I like you too Yousef”

“Yeah?” he asked with a goofy smile

She just grinned and nodded

“That’s cool” he said

“That’s cool” she repeated

They would’ve kept talking to each other but they were soon pulled into the improvised dance floor by their friends.

Anyway, they would have a lot of time to talk in the following days, but in that moment, the important things had been said and that was all that mattered.

---------------------x---------------------

This is it

Hope you’ve liked it

Thanks for reading

and remember YOUSEF  AND SANA ARE SOULMATES, YOUSANA IS CANON

[sanachic]

famous!yousana au on the way

Hey guys! I’m planning on writing a new au (completely inspired by @imanmeskinis , I’m not going to lie)! I’m really excited about this and I have already begun writing. It’s been a very long time since I have written anything like this and even longer since I have posted something like this so please have patience with me. I’ll be writing quickly but because it’s been so long the updates may not be as often as I would like them to be. Anyway I’ll get to the point and explain because that’s all you really want to know.

The Bakkoush siblings have taken the world by storm; Elias as a singer and Sana as a model. So of course when Yousef hears that Elias is in need of a backup dancer for his first world tour he’s going to audition. He would be a fool to give up such an opportunity. Everything seems to be going well until he meets the jaw-dropping Sana Bakkoush. He had only dreamed of that moment... except you know... in his fantasies he was less sweaty and awkward.

This is an incredibly brief summary (if you can even call it that) but I think it’s going to be great. I hope you all enjoy! The first chapter should be posted in a few days.

[thickskinandelasticheart]

[thesuncameouttoday]

A little Yousana au fic I wrote. All fluffy, adorable, and in Yousef’s POV.

[sanasolskam]

do you know any good Yousana fics out there? tumblr or ao3, I'm looking for new writers to love and support

heyy mostly i just browse the “yousana fic” tag or “yousana prompt” here on tumblr but here is a favorite of mine from ao3 : http://archiveofourown.org/series/754602 a series called “I swear, Her and I are Soulmates” its basically just everyone accepting #yousanaendgame 🖖🏻🖖🏻

[thelordvoldemort]

at this point i am honestly so close to just giving in and writing a sana x yousef au where they're carrot farmers like seriously this has to stop

[glossyfincher]

Prompt (because your last yousana one was amazing 😍) : yousef's turn for the chat roulette and something to do with sana came up and all the boys' reactions

« Last person you sent a messageto on facebook »

Yousef should have known that sending amessage to Sana right before filming this challenge with the boyswasn’t a good idea. He sighed, hopeless.

-Guys, isn’t this game stupid ?It’s a bit repetitive isn’t it ? Yousef asked, trying to stopwhatever was going to happen.

His friends before him had done it, andit actually seemed a bit repetitive to him, so maybe this was a goodway to escape having to do the thing. This was a nightmare. Honestly.He was actually gonna be filmed  confessing that he had added Sana onfacebook and messaged her right in front of her older brother?

-Are you kidding ? This is thechallenge that all norwegian youtubers are doing at the moment, wehave to film it ! Are you afraid or something ? Eliasasked.

-I don’t know, man…

-Oh come on dude, who was the lastperson you sent a message to ? Go on, just say it !AskedAdam

-Yeah man, we won’t judge you, comeon ! Mikael added, enthusiastic.

They were joking but he was reallywondering what their reactions would be.Yousef turned his head tolook at Elias again, whom seemed pretty busy on his phone. Maybe hecould try to use the fact that his friend was distracted to saysomeone else’s name or something. He unlocked his phone which wasalready opened on Messenger. He was currently waiting for Sana’sanswer, and more than Elias maybe beating him to death, he would looklike a fool to Sana if he sent her a stupid message again… Seeinghim hesitating, Mutta just went and grabbed his phone.

-Sana ! The last person Yousefmessaged is Sana !

He didn’t really want to face the otherguy’s reactions, but he did anyway. There wasn’t really a rule thatsaid that he couldn’t add his friends’ eventual sisters on facebookbut he guessed the boys hadn’t ever tried to friend any of them, anddefinitely not Sana. She was too important to them, and always seemedto want to keep her social lifeaway from them. Her brother wasn’teven friends with her on facebook !

Hearing Mutta saying his sister’s name,Elias turned his face to actually try and understand what was goingon. Seeing Yousef’s phone, he looked down on his friend whom wassitting on the floor. Elias had really lost his composure and Yousefcould see he didn’t really know what to say. He also seemed angry.

-What the fuck man ? Why would youmessage my sister ?

The guys were all watching the scene infront of them while Yousef was trying to get his phone back beforesomeone tried to read what he had sent. They had totally forgottenabout the camera filming.

-Come on guys, focus ! Picksomething to send her Yousef ?, someone said hesitantly.

-What ? No way, there’s no waywe’re doing that ! Elias said.

-Oh come on Elias, you wanted him to doit ! And now he’s doing it, Adam tried to tell his friend.

Yousef saw Elias thinking, and prayedfor him to just say no. Then he would only have to deal with him andSana wouldn’t think he was weird or something. But Elias noticed howYousef was pining for him to refuse.

-Okay. We’re doing it. Nothing dirtythough, Elias said. Give him a choice.

Yousef sighed, really hoping forsomething not too ridiculous. He didn’t want Sana to think he wasridiculous. Really not. Before adding her, he had checked nothing toobizarre was on his profile, he had also checked if his profile andcover pictures matched. He had hesitated for two long hours beforesending her that stupid meme, and he still thought what he had donewould seem curious to her. He didn’t know why, but he was alwaystrying to impress her, and after being caught dancing the other day,he just wanted to regain a credibility. He always felt like he neededto be validated by her, and he knew it wasn’t because he wanted to bewelcome in her house. It was because there was something intimidatingand solar in her, like when she was here he felt better abouteverything. So of course he was freaked out by the possibility ofbeing ridiculous in her eyes. Sana was impressive, and the fact thatshe was two years younger than him didn’t change that.

Mikael put his hand in the jar whichcontained the texts and sorted two out. His friend looked at him, aforced smile on his mouth. The other boys were clearly tense, andMikael couldn’t stop moving his leg behind him.

-Either… « I dreamt about youlast night » or One Direction’s famous lyrics « Baby youlight up my world like nobody else ». Your choice, Yousef !

Elias had said that in the most ironicway possible. Yousef was frightened. Both by the idea of Elias hatingor beating him up (that was unlikely, but still) and by Sana’spossible answer. Honestly, 1D lyrics would just seem like a prank…It had been Adam’s idea to put them in the jar even though the othersthought it was ridiculous and not that funny, but if Yousef couldtake advantage of it, then…

-Okay. I’ll send One Direction lyrics…

-Are you suuuure you don’t want to send« I dreamt about you last night » and be asked toelaborate ?

Mikael had asked, probably trying toreduce the tensions he was feeling. The other guys hit him whileElias kept a raising a brow while looking straight into Yousef’seyes, clearly daring him to do so. Yousef could see he was mad, andhe knew he would be when he’d friended Sana in the afternoon… Nowhe just had to deal with his anger.

The boy unlocked his phone, typing thestupid lyrics.

-Add a heart emoji, Yousef ! Likethe double heart or something ! Mikael said.

He was met with a slap behind the headfrom Elias, and Yousef clicked on send.

(thank you, anon ! idk if i did a good job but… thats it !)

Yousana Exchange 2020 gift for @koedder-du​ (pt. 3):

An AU where Yousef attended Sana’s Eid party

Yousef: WOW ❤️ Yousef: I have a surprise for you

---

Sana frowned at the cryptic text. She was about to write a response when she heard a commotion and some excited squeals that sounded like Eva and Vilde. She wanted to check what's going on, and as she neared the entrance to the garden she saw Yousef, in flesh, standing by the gate and sheepishly grinning at her.

"How... what are you doing here?"

"My sister failed a uni exam so she is staying in Oslo for a couple extra days, and I talked my parents into letting me stay with her." Yousef’s grin spread all the way to his eyes before he continued. "I heard there's quite an Eid party going on, with someone extra special throwing it. I wouldn't miss it for the world."

"Yes, there is." Sana giggled, and realized she must've been staring at him like an idiot. Thank God she isn't maintaining her ice cold reputation anymore, because she's absolutely sure it wouldn't survive tonight. She tried to at least control her wide smile a bit.

"What a wonderful surprise. You don't look like you're dressed for an Eid party, but I'm sure the hostess will let you join anyway," she added in a playful tone.

"Come on in."

Sana took two steps towards the rest of party, pointedly ignoring the entire Los Losers nearby eavesdropping and throwing her meaningful looks, but Yousef stood still.

"You... you look even more beautiful in person."

Sana's face matched Yousef's shy grin.

"Thank you."

Hello SKAMily. 

We are four fanfiction enthusiasts who have had enough of great authors not being recognised for their amazing work. So this blog is entirely dedicated to underrated works of SKAM Fanfic. The focus of this blog will be on fics with less than 200 kudos on ao3, but if you really really like one that has more, please submit it anyway. 

We will also do what we call "Moodboard Mondays", where we either post our own moodboard for one of the fics we're recommending, or we'll post a moodboard/GIFset/Photoset/video made by an artist for an underrated fic. Please feel free to suggest your favourite artists, whether they've already made art for an underrated fic or not ...We can always ask. 

Our goal is to help you all find new, great fic to read that you may not have found simply because it doesn't have many kudos. And of course, we also want to give lesser known authors the love they deserve, and if this works, hopefully soon we'll have more awesome fic with the kudos they deserve on AO3.

So are you ready to help us make that happen? 

Here's the team of "Under the SKAM Fic radar:

Mod Julia: 19, she/her, american. i have been part of the skam fandom since mid s3 and i am watching all of the remakes. i’m a huge multishipper and i love rarepairs. you can find me on tumblr at @chloevlntine and on ao3 at Jules1398.

Mod Noah: 20, he/him, canadian. i started watching skam near the end of season three, and finally decided to start writing fic a whole year later. however, i have been active in the tags for almost close to two years now (lmao), and i absolutely love reading different contributions! i love writing angst and weird au’s, and i am more than happy to discuss any of those with you! i’m @unendeligtid on tumblr and @twinklylightseverywhere on ao3!

Distracted

I watched this video on YouTube and immediately wanted to write this. 

„I tried kidnapping my friend 3 times”

“Are you for real?”, Yousef asks, raising his eyebrows in disbelief.

Elias nods enthusiastically. “Yeah! Dude, I saw that on YouTube and thought we could do that too!”, Elias thinks for a second, “We would of course say that this was not our idea and give credit and so on but I want to do this.”

Yousef shakes his head at his best friend. That’s an interesting idea to be honest. He hasn’t seen the video Elias is talking about but seeing Elias so excited about this video idea makes him want to agree immediately. Also, Yousef is very aware that the camera is on and already filming Elias and him.

“But what exactly would I need to do?”, Yousef asks before agreeing.

Elias sees the interest in the eyes of his best friend and gets even more excited. This would be a project he would have to plan out stuff for and he loves doing that kind of things.

Scooting to the edge of the couch Elias starts explaining: “Okay, kidnapping in this case really just means taking you to another room without you wanting that. So I could surprise you here in the living room and get you to the kitchen and that would be a win for me.  All you have to do is try to not get kidnapped by me. I have a week to accomplish ‘kidnapping’ at least once. Could be more though.”

Yousef tilts his head slightly and crosses his arms over his chest. He has to admit, it sounds like fun but he still isn’t completely sure what he would get himself into.

“And how exactly would you be kidnapping me?”, Yousef asks, suspiciously.

Elias laughs and looks directly into the camera and rolls his eyes. Then he looks back at his best friend and shrugs: “It wouldn’t be challenging at all for you if you knew, would it?”

“But, I need you to agree to this. Otherwise I’m obviously not going to do this.”, Elias clarifies.

“What about Mikael, Mutta and Adam?”

Elias explains his thoughts on doing this video: “I figured it would be too much if we had to be suspicious of everything all of us do. So the two of us will start and then Mutta and Even. And then Mikael and Adam.”

Yousef knew that he would agree to do this as soon as Elias told him about it but now he is sold. This will be a fun week, he is sure of that. He looks straight into the camera and smirks.

“Let’s do this.”

-

What Yousef didn’t expect was that he would be wary of everything anyone close to Elias says or does. After the Sunday Elias explained the rules to Yousef, they decided to start the game on the following day. On Yousef’s free day.  The day that the boys usually use to shoot a more elaborate video. However, on this particular Monday Yousef doesn’t trust the messages of Elias in the private chat.

Elias texts him: We’re meeting at the gym before shooting the video at mine, right?

Yousef texts into the group chat with the boys: You all are coming to the gym before shooting the video?

Adam answers: Nah I’m still in bed

Mikael: I’m not ready to leave the house yet

Mutta: I’m at my grandma’s so no

That’s when Yousef grins to himself, knowing that he outsmarted Elias. Whatever Elias had planned to kidnap Yousef, he probably wanted to do it then. At the Gym. Yousef still has no idea how Elias would pull that off. It’s not like Elias could just pick Yousef up and carry him to the next room. But Yousef is not going to take his chances.

With a smug smile Yousef snapchats Elias saying: “You should brief the boys before trying to lure me out alone!”

But then the times come for them to film that video they had been planning. It’s a video that also involves Sana. So there is no way Yousef is missing that chance. However, he also doesn’t want to lose the challenge on the first day. That’s why Yousef is the last one to arrive at the Bakkoush house, when it’s usually him that is there first.

Yousef rings the bell and takes a step back. The uncertainty of how Elias might want to ‘kidnap’ him makes Yousef jumpy. Even when he was walking over to his house he kept looking left and right to make sure Elias is not waiting somewhere around the corner. Yousef maybe shouldn’t have watched the video Elias got this idea from. On the other hand, if he didn’t he wouldn’t be prepared for anything.

Sana is the one to open the door and as soon as Yousef’s eyes land on her, all his guards crumble. He sees her smile at him, showing her dimples and he returns a smile of his own. She’s beautiful as ever and he has to press his lips together to not smile too much. Putting his hands in the pockets of his jacket Yousef tries to look less nervous. Whenever he is around Sana he gets nervous. A good kind of nervous. The kind that gives you butterflies in your stomach, makes you stumble over your words or act too impulsively.

“Don’t you want to come in?”, Sana asks, opening the door a little wider and stepping aside.

Yousef steps in and takes his shoes off. While he does that Sana comments, a little unsure if she should say that and how that would sound but deciding to act as confident as she usually is: “The other guys are already in the living room. Usually you’re the first one here.”

For a second Yousef stops in his tracks, before turning around to face her, and smiles. Does this mean she is paying attention to when he is coming here? They’ve been texting quite a bit lately but mostly just sending memes back and forth and making sure the other is doing good. Yousef tries to collect himself before facing her.

“I didn’t want to come.”, Yousef says, without thinking it through.

Only when Sana’s smile falters for a very short moment Yousef understands how that sounded.

Sana wonders if he didn’t want to come because of her. This is the first video she will be part of in a long time. And all the other times the boys film a YouTube video, Yousef is the first one to arrive at her house (the times she is no part of any of it).

Yousef suddenly panics. Why does he say stuff like that? He fumbles for words and finally says: “No, no. I meant … just because … I like coming here.”

That last sentence has a distinctive undertone. Additionally to the pointed look he gives Sana. With pleading eyes, hoping she understands.

And when he looks at her like that Sana melts instantly. She has no idea what he means but those eyes make her want to believe everything.

“That game Elias and I are playing this week makes me jumpy and I’m very suspicious of everything.”, Yousef says, chuckling.

But Sana just furrows her eyebrows in confusion. Once again, she doesn’t understand what he is talking about. Right when she is about to ask him to explain, they hear a third voice. It’s Elias’.

“Sis, I’ll explain when you get to the living room. Now, please!”

-

“So that’s why I am sitting at my usual spot and Yousef is sitting over there, at the edge of the couch.”, Elias says, looking straight at the camera.

They are all positioned somewhere on the couch or the floor in front of it. Mikael, Mutta, Adam and Yousef are on the couch. And Sana and her brother are sitting on the floor in front of it. Elias just explained to Sana, and their subscribers that will watch this video before the one about the ‘kidnapping’, why Yousef chose to sit as close to the door as possible and not next to Elias as usual. Adam thought it would be a great sneak peek if they talked a bit about the next video in this one.

“But instead I have someone way better sitting next to me. My amazing little sister.”, Elias says, and hugging Sana to his side. She scrunches up her nose but lets him.

Elias looks up at his best friend and says: “Sorry, bro.”

Adam comments: “Yousef, you’ve already been replaced. What a shame.”

Yousef’s eyes wander over to Sana and at the same time she turns to look at him too. Their eyes meet for a moment and Yousef can barely drag his eyes away from her.

“Completely understandable.”

-

Yousef knew he was right. He should’ve listened to his gut feeling. No, but here he is.

The video idea for today was a music challenge. They would be assigned, ‘randomly’, into pairs. In those pairs they had to play each other snippets of songs they thought the other would not know.

First it was Elias and Adam. Then Yousef could relax. Elias was busy and couldn’t do anything to him.

Then it was Yousef and Sana.

Both of them tried to keep their cool, to not show how excited and happy they were about that random pairing. Both of them failed but they didn’t know that.

Well, Elias had predicted that before. So he planned something. Elias knew he would not have been able to get Yousef from one room to another on his own if he didn’t cooperate. That’s why he had to consult others.

Mikael and Adam. Mutta wouldn’t help, trying to make it seem like he didn’t want to be a part of this, but Elias knows that Yousef had asked him before and that Mutta is on Yousef’s side. The plan is easy. When Yousef is too distracted, has let his guards down, Elias will give the boys a sign and two of them will go to grab Yousef. Adam his legs and Elias his upper body. It’s just a few steps to the kitchen. It should be easy. And Mikael will film all of it.

And Yousef plays his part in all of this really well, not knowing he does so.

When it’s Sana’s turn to play a short snippet of a song it’s already like the two of them are in their own little bubble already. And they really don’t realize it.

“I was born like this, since one like this Immaculate conception I transform like this, perform like this Was Yeshua's new weapon”

Sana waits for Yousef to say something but all he does is scrunching his nose up in concentration. Sana laughs about that which makes him look at her, his facial expression softening immediately.

“Can you play a little more?”, Yousef asks her.

Shaking her head, Sana chuckles. “No,  if you don’t know it you don’t know it.”

“But I might get it if you play a little more.”, Yousef tries to argue but all he really wants is for Sana laugh like a second ago. Showing her dimples and her eyes crinkling lightly.

When she laughs, shaking her head once more, Yousef laughs too but asks for her to at least repeat the short snippet again. She agrees and this time he listens really closely. He should know some of Sana’s favorite songs. While listening, he looks at Sana and she keeps looking back at him again.

“Do you know it?”, Sana asks, when she stops the song again. She tilts her head lightly and watches Yousef’s reaction. He obviously doesn’t but he also doesn’t want to admit that for whatever reason.

“If you only played a littl…”, Yousef begins to say but suddenly feels arms around his torso.

While he was so concentrated on Sana, neither of the two realized that Elias gave the other boys a sign. A sign that neither Mutta or Sana knew about. Just Adam, Mikael and of course Elias.

“What? Guys..”, is all Yousef can exclaim before he is set down in the kitchen. He is too surprised.

How did he not see that coming? Yousef can’t believe he lost on the first day. In shock that that really happened Yousef looks around the room, opening his mouth and closing it again because he doesn’t know what to say.

Elias on the contrary knows exactly what he wants to say. He gets close to Mikael, who is filming the situation with his phone, and exclaims: “I won!”, looking back at Yousef he adds, “It was almost too easy but there’s still a week ahead that I can use to ‘kidnap’ him again.”

Mutta sends Yousef an apologetic look, he couldn’t prevent that from happening this time. Yousef just shrugs and smiles at him.

Sana is the last one to arrive in the kitchen but she stops to stand next to Yousef.

“Sorry that you didn’t win.”, Sana says, still watching her brother do some kind of victory dance, “At least for now.”

Yousef looks at Sana and chuckles. She rolls her eyes at her brother but still looks amused. She was not aware of her brother’s plans, that’s obvious. “It’s fine, really. There’s still a week ahead of us.”

Sana looks up at Yousef, the first time since she arrived in the kitchen, and smiles a little.

[nothesc]

Hey hey hey!!

I know you’re probably sick of me and my fics by now ‘cause there are too many but I was thinking about how today is Yousef’s free day and how he has Sana’s number now and how I’m dying to see him with kids and I had too many feelings that I had to write this. 

It’s not complete though, I’ve written a second part. And if you like this I can post it later or tomorrow. I just didn’t want to post the whole thing because it was too long and I didn’t want to bore you. 

So again, it’s a mix between text messages and fic. Sorry  about the mistakes that might be there but as you know, english is not my first language.

I hope you like it!

She took a moment to process everything.

Yousef had just asked her out. Yes, it was to go watch a kids play but still, he had asked her out. He had even offered to go to her house and talk with her mom.

Her mom. She had heard her on Sunday telling Elias that she didn’t like Sana and Yousef spending so much time together. She was going to freak out when Sana told her that she wanted to go out with him. And as charming as Yousef was, which was a lot, she wasn’t sure that he would be able to convince her.

After choosing carefully her outfit, something nice but not too nice so her mom wouldn’t suspect, she went to the kitchen to find her mom and Elias there. Elias, she wasn’t counting on him being there.

 “Hey habibti, you look really nice today. Are you planning on going out?”

So much for not wanting to make her suspect. Well done, Sana.

“Yeah, yeah, I was actually coming to ask you if I could go out”

“Are you meeting Noora?” her mom asked

“Um…no, not Noora.”

“Who then?”

“Well…”Sana looked at her brother who was focused on texting someone. She didn’t feel very comfortable telling her mom her plans with him there.

“Sana, you know we don’t have secrets in this family. Whatever you want to tell me, you can say it in front of your brother” her mom said following Sana’s look. “Besides, he’s not even listening, are you Elias?”

“I am listening, I just don’t really care” he said still looking at his phone

“Whatever…okay…well, I have this friend” Sana started “who works in a kindergarten”

“Okay, now I’m interested” Elias said putting away his phone and giving her sister all the attention, he knew exactly where this was going.

Sana gave him a death glare before continuing

“Yeah, well, the kids there are performing today, some kind of play. And he has a spare ticket and asked me if I wanted to go”

“He?” Sana’s mom asked “Who’s he? Is it Isak?”

“No, no, no, not Isak…” she took a deep breath trying to find the right words, when actually there was only one word that needed to be said, one name. “He’s…well…he’s…”

“Come on, sis! I know you can” Elias teased her.

“It’s Yousef, isn’t he?” her mom asked frowning

“Well…yeah…he is”

“Sana…You know I like Yousef and I know he’s a good kid but…I don’t know if I want you spending so much time with you…with the whole drinking thing and so on…”

“But mom, he doesn’t drink. He told you, the bottle wasn’t his”

“Well, he wouldn’t tell me if it was”

“Mom, trust me, the bottle wasn’t his. He doesn’t drink. He’s a good guy, you know him, you’ve known him for years. And we’re just friends, we’re going to watch a kids play. That’s it”

“If it’s a plan for friends, why wouldn’t he ask Elias instead of you?”

“’Cause Elias doesn’t like kids”

“Neither do you Sana”

“I like kids…sometimes”

“I don’t know Sana…I don’t like the idea of you two being alone”

“We won’t. There are going to be parents and teachers”

“Sana…”

“Would it help if he told you all of this himself? If you heard this from him?”

Just as she finished her sentence, someone knocked at the door front.

“’Cause he’s here…”

Mrs. Bakkoush took a deep breath and closed her eyes trying to calm down.

“Elias, please, open the door”

He stood up and went to the front door and opened it. In front of him there was a very nervous Yousef. He was wearing a white shirt and nice jeans and no snapback at all.

“Dude, what are you wearing?” Elias said laughing at his friend

“Not helping” Yousef said brushing past him.

He entered the kitchen followed by Elias. His eyes went straight to Sana, she looked beautiful, but that wasn’t a surprise, she always looked beautiful.

“Hi”

“Hi” she said looking at him the same way she always did, with loving eyes.

“Good afternoon Mrs Bakkoush” Yousef said to her mom “I guess Sana has told you why I’m here”

“Indeed, she has and frankly Yousef I don’t think it’s a good idea”

“I know, and I respect that but please let me try to convince you”

“Go ahead” she sighed

“Okay..so…”he took a deep breath preparing to tell her the speech he had been rehearsing in his way there “I know you don’t like the idea of Sana and me spending time alone, but the thing is we won’t be alone. There will be a lot of adults, parents, teachers and so on. Even my aunt, she works there, so she’ll be there. The kids have worked so hard for this play and I think Sana will like it and the kids are going to love her. See, I really admire Sana as a person, I think she’s kind and strong and she’d be a perfect role model to the kids there and they could learn a lot from her, so I would love them to meet her. And she’ll be back here as soon as the play ends, we can come home straight from there. You can even call the headmaster of the kindergarten if you feel more comfortable. I just…I don’t know what else to say…but if you still don’t think it’s a good idea, like I told Sana, I’ll respect that and go alone”

Both Sana and her mom looked at Yousef in awe. The boy was definitely charming, the things he had said about Sana had convinced her mom without even doubt it. Still, she kept thinking about it.

“Come on mom, cut them some slack, you know they’re both responsible people” Elias said trying to help.

“At what time does the play start?” Mrs. Bakkoush asked

“4pm”

“And how long is it?”

“Not longer than an hour I guess”

“Okay” she sighed “you can go Sana”

“Really? Thank you mom!” she said hugging her

“Thank you so much Mrs. Bakkoush” Yousef said

“You have to be here at 7pm, though” she told her daughter

“7 pm? But the play ends at 5 pm…that’s two hours” Sana said confused

“Well, the boy came all the way here to talk to your mom, the least you can do is invite him to an ice-cream after the play don’t you think?”

“Sounds fair to me” Yousef said with a big smile.

----------------------------x----------------------------------

Well, this is the first part. The second part is about the play and the kids and so on. Let me know if you want me to post the second part

I’ve just noticed that there’s a mistake in one of the messages, it should say “they gave me two tickets” and it says “the”. Sorry about that

Also! This is especially dedicated to my friend @sterekwonders We were talking the other day about how cute it would be if Yousef went to talk to the bakkoush’s family about his relationship with Sana. I know this isn’t exactly what we talked about but still, it made think of you. 

Well, I hope you all like this

Thank you for reading and let me know if you would like to read the second part

Edited: here’s part 2
