I was wondering if you had any pruaus fic recommendations?? I really love the pairing and would love some good things to read
SHIT OMFG LMFAO THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK I LOVE TALKING ABOUT MY TRAS H CHILDREN
Walk in the Sun by Jacquzy - (historical; no rating; prussia thinks about his relationship with austria over the years through the lens of kugelmugelās entry into their lives). this is like. prob my fave pruaus fic and it'sĀ written by one of my favE FIC WRITERS OVERALL LMFAO I DONāT THINK SHEāS EVEN IN THE FANDOM ANYMORE WHICH FUCKING KILLS ME but her (tragically) unfinished pruaus college AU fic roses are red violets are blue continues to slay; if it ever updated i would actually just stab myself in the face for pure joy. Her writing is impeccableāiām indescribably moved every time by the way she depicts change and loneliness and loss. tbh her pruaus characterizations have probably had the largest influence in shaping mine.Ā You can follow her here at f-scott-fitzgerbilĀ (fandom blog) or hotdadsclubĀ (personal/non-fandom blog but updates more frequently)
Change of Heart by searchingformercury (college AU; no rating; the gang go camping and roderich (predictably) gets lost) LIKE???? ? If stupidly adorable shenanigans are your thing and embarrassing dorks are ESPECIALLY your thing, then this fic may or may not make you bleed tears of joy IT IS SO GOOD likeājen captures the confusion and strangeness of being on the cusp of adulthood so well SO WELL you can read her other fics and follow her here at searching-for-mercury (and if you like that fic send her an ask becaUSE!!! SHE MAY BE OPENING UP FIC COMMISSIONS P SOON!!!)
Catch fire with me by nyhne (human AU; M rating; roderichās marriage is rocky andĀ gilbert is a piece of sHIT LMFAO) THIS!! FIC MAKES ME SO MAD IT MAKES ME SO FUCKING MAD LMAO I AM STILL PISSED TO THIS DAY THAT (spoiler) THEY DONāT WIND UP TOGETHER IN THIS FUCKING FIC BEC GILBERT IS SUCH A FUCKING ASSHOLE BUT ITāS SO WELL-WRITTEN THAT IT GETS A PASS OK OK GDI. You can follow the writer on tumblr here at nyhne but sheās also got a closed rpĀ blog thatās p fun to follow!
The Daintiness of Ear by sithmarauder - (historical; no rating; prussia and austria play a duet) LITERALLY THE BEST PRUAUS MUSIC FIC I HAVE EVER READ the characterizations are so on point that I could barely even get through the fic bec I was so fucking moved lmaooo. You can find the writer here at deadhabsburgsā; follow her to read more awesome historical fics PLUS to send her annoying asks begging for more dorks-playing-music fics and/or long-ass fanmails arguing the merits of pruaus over spaus ahahahha
Gilbert Beilschmidt, Private Eye by bonsaibabe (human/noir AU; no rating; gilbert! is! a PRIVATE EYE!!! attempting to solve roderichās case) THIS IS A FIC OF PURE FUN. The premise is fun, the characterization is fun, ITāS A ROLLERCOASTER RIDE OF FUN. The writer takes this sort of ridiculous premise and just runs with it, and the result is AMAZING. I couldnāt find her here unfortunately (if anyone has any info lemme know), but if you ARE thirsty for more, the fic does have an (unfinished) sequel.
Forgotten by fakiagirl (human AU; no rating; gilbert moves into an apartment haunted by ghost!roderich cat) I AM SO WEAK FOR CAT!AUSTRIA SO OFC THIS FIC IS ONE OF MY TOPS but the progression of their relationship is just so slow and sweet and the whole thing is just v. well-written??? But also. yeah. I mean. Cat!ghost!roderich. need I say more? Her ff profile lists her tumblr as unnecessaryligaturesā (though she doesnāt seem to be in the fandom anymore?)
Good Day Good Evening by Anti-Logic (historical; no rating; gilbert confronts his dissolution) PROBABLY MY FAVORITE HISTORICAL PRUSSIA FICāand one of my favorite hetalia fics overall. With its unsettling mix of historical fact and vivid imagery it fucking blew me away. I honestly cannot recommend this fic enoughāitās really more a prussia-centric fic with background pruaus butĀ I just wanted an excuse to rec it ahahaha. (Also it introduced me to āSwimmingā by Florence + the Machine as THE pruaus song and this changed my fuCKING LIFE TBH). It doesnāt seem like the writerās on tumblr but if she is, LET ME KNOW
Frƶbel Sterne by sun-on-the-shelf (human AU; no rating; Ludwigās POV of Gilbertās life after moving out) This is prob the shortest fic of all the those Iāve rec'ced here BUT itās extremely cute and the end is achingly sweet so despite the length it packs QUITE A PUNCH. The writerās on tumblr asĀ apfelzimteis but Iām not sure sheās still active? Sheās also Austrian SOOO >:)
The Advantages of being engaged by MayumiSato (human AU; no rating; fake!engaged bec theyāre stingy bastards) THIS FIC MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD I ALMOST GOT WATER SHOOTING OUT OF MY NOSE LMFAO the writer manages to carefully balance the best part of the pruaus dynamic without allowing it to descend into childish bickering which is crazy considering english isnāt eVEN HER FIRST LANGUAGE WTF??? ? You can find her on tumblr as mayumisatosan.
Other really good pruaus writers that you guys should follow: romano-is-crying,Ā gilbutt, andĀ daemonrolling. The flo (pallaide) is always good for the GREATEST AU IDEAS even if they torture youā¦..by not translating them into ficsā¦.. :ā) You can also check out my fic recs tag for more good ones! :)
And if youāre STILL reading this ridiculously long post lmao feel free to check out my own dumb pruaus fic here ( my attempts to cope with my intensely catholic past literally just resulted in a dumb fic of my trash otpā¦ā¦.kill me)
