I was wondering if fanfics for AkaKen week can be published on Wattpad, like on AO3?
Of course! We do ask that you post a copy to AO3 as well, just because that's where we have the collection, but if you can't, we'll just reblog the promo post to send people your way.

This is a scene from “the brilliant days and nights” by themorninglark on ao3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/23983813. Her Twitter is also here https://mobile.twitter.com/lightveils. Please check out her writing, she has amazing AkaKen fics!
I’ve wanted to draw this scene ever since I read this incredible fic, and this was just the perfect opportunity
Title: Farewell, My Love
Rating: Teen (Major Character Death)
Pairing: Akaashi/Kenma
Characters: Kenma, Akaashi
Tags: Royalty AU, Prince Kenma, knight akaashi, Mentions of Blood, Fallen Kingdom, castle siege, Melancholy Ending
Summary: He closed his eyes, remembering how they would hold grand balls there. Court musicians at the far end playing music that could be heard as far as the village he’d walked through. Guests from all over would come to dance, to dine, and to drink at the invitation of his father – of the king.
He remembered stealing away from the dances, always unbeknownst to his parents and the suitor that they would always set him up with. Always headed to the knight’s quarters to pull Akaashi from his duties. Always the two of them pulled the courtyard – secluded and away from the bustle of the rest of the castle. It was their place, one where they could be together and not worry about being caught.

Akaashi recalled one of the reasons he didn’t often play video games: they gave him terrible motion sickness. He couldn’t think of a worse way for this day to go. Why would Kenma want to be friends with him when he couldn’t enjoy Kenma’s favourite activity?
Title: Keep Me Crazy
Rating: General
Pairings: Akaashi/Kenma, Akaashi/Bokuto/Kenma/Kuroo
Characters: Akaashi, Kenma, Kuroo, Bokuto
Tags: Music, domestic life, mentions of drinking, slightly drunk akaken dancing, bokuakakuroken
Summary: Akaashi laughed, pulling Kenma close before dipping him. Kenma squeaked, his face flushing from the sound, and Akaashi laughed again. He pulled Kenma back up, moving with the beat of the song. They’re movements were a little clumsy, the effects of the wine making it hard to stay completely upright.
They twirled and laughed, sometimes trying to sing along to the song. As the song came to an end, Akaashi dipped Kenma one last time. They were both a little out of breath, but smiling nonetheless, and he pulled Kenma back up.
