I'm on a roll. New Shalvis fic based on @chifuvrse's posts about the new Tomodachi Life Demo. He suggested an idea that I just had to write, mainly cause he said that he'd write it and then didn't /j. Here it is: Love Mii

Summary

Shulk downloaded the new Tomodachi life demo on his day off. Too bad he got so distracted that he didn't realize his roommate, Alvis, was already back from work. ~ Shulk looked down at the screen and saw the Miis of him and Alvis, Alvis's status as "Ultra Friends" with Shulk, Shulk's status as "Ready To Risk It All" towards Alvis, and the incriminating text in the speech bubble at the bottom: "Shulk is captivated by Alvis." Then he looked back up at Alvis's smirking face. Oh shit.

I wrote this way faster than I usually write, and I had so much fun ignoring work to do so lol. The kiss scene at the end was good practice for me since I struggle writing them. I really wanted to read a kiss scene tho so I had to do it. So, Chifuvrse please don't tease me by saying you'll write an idea and then going jk 😖. Unless you want to trick me into writing it instead lol.

any recommendations for shalvis fics? after reading your sick fic i trust your opinion

I'm taking that as a massive compliment. Anyway, I did actually make a rec list a year ago (on a diff account) so I'm gonna remake/update that.

Shorter - Canon/Canon Adjacent

Wet Rats and Large Handcuffs by Taliax. This one focuses more on Reyn interacting with Alvis but its so fun and enjoyable. Reyn is dealing with the fact that Alvis so clearly likes his best friend.

Resolution by Assbele. Shulk + Alvis during the whole remaking the world part of the game. The vibes are immaculate, and there's a kiss. Belief by Assbele. It's Alvis's pov and he just rambles in his thoughts about Shulk and how much he likes/trusts Shulk. Like 7k words. It's great. Deform to Form A Star by KentuckyTheFried. Alvis shows up in Shulk's dream post game and they have an overdue conversation. A little bit of hurt/comfort cause Alvis has some fears. This one influenced my own take on Alvis for sure.

Momentary Solace by moonquartz. I consider this canon to me. It's a conversation between Shulk and Alvis in Alcamoth right after prison island. It's so believable, and I wish it was in the game.

Soothsayers by notyourparadigm. Another thing I think of as canon in my heart. This is a conversation between Shulk and Alvis in Ose Tower.

A Brief Walk in the Cosmos by Zanthe. This one is just fluffy post game stuff where Alvis shows Shulk parts of the new world. If you've read my sick fic, you know I love post-game domesticity.

A Walk In The Sun by Dragon_Falls. During the game, Shulk and Alvis take a hike in the Eryth Sea area. Alvis is a teasing menace. I love the interactions in this.

Goodnight by Dragon_Falls. Shulk talking to the Monado and not knowing Alvis can hear him. This is one of my favorite tropes? headcanons? I live for Alvis can hear/feel/know things because he is in fact the Monado. Such a fun thing to play with. Beneficial by hannelloni. This is basically layering a soulmate au onto canon. I enjoyed this one and the author's take on Alvis. Waiting By The Seaside by Sm0lAvidReader. This is my fic, and I'm really proud of it. It's basically post game Shulk yearning for Alvis who disappeared. It's based on a bit of a timeloop AU but mostly canon otherwise. No fear, it has a happy ending.

Longer - Canon/Canon Adjacent Falling by Dragon_Falls. This was the first Shalvis fic I ever read, and it's mandatory. It's quintessential. Everyone should read it. The Present Moment by Assbele. If you like my sick fic and post-game domesticity, then you will adore this fic. Full confession, I read this fic right after I posted the first chapter of my sick fic, looked at what I had of my second chapter, and threw it all out. My own writing felt unsatisfying, so I reworked it until it made me feel more like how this fic made me feel while I was reading it.

We Will Meet Again by Assbele. Basically check out Assbele's fics. You will not be disappointed.

Recompilation Attempt № 17 by minorthirds. This one is set during future connected and it has my heart. It's sooo good I cannot recommend reading it enough. The resolution gets me every time.

Trinity: Awaken. Reconcile. Resurge. by Dragon_Falls. It's a crossover with XC2 and it destroyed me. I'm very invested in the outcome. AU Fics

Good Luck, Shulk and the sequel by sneep. It's a sci-fi alternate universe and an absolutely fantastic one. Alvis plays favorites and it's so obvious. Shulk has no clue what's going on. The ending made me cry (in a good way).

Heartbreaker by zeldasballad (seitsuki). If you want a modern AU with Alvis being a complete and utter menace, this is for you.

Behind the Bar by Sm0lAvidReader. Another of my fics. This is a modern AU with Alvis as a bartender and also an absolute menace. I call this the let's fluster Shulk a bajillion times the fic.

Vital Exchange by Sm0lAvidReader. Me again. This is Vampire Alvis x Vampire Hunter Shulk. Complete with homoerotic blood drinking cause why not. Vampire AU's are fun.

[smolavidwriter]

Obligatory I updated a fic post (i say as if I dont forget all the time).

Computer Virus Ch. 3 aka my Shalvis sick fic.

Chapter Summary:

Alvis and Shulk navigate the first few days of Alvis's illness. And Shulk admits to himself something that's pretty obvious in hindsight.

It's like 4k words so double the count of the first two chapters I think. I've been having fun with this fic in general. Post-game Shalvis domesticity, my beloved. Also, Alvis may be sick but that doesn't stop him from being an absolute menace when he can.

[smolavidwriter]

I keep coming back to your vampire AU, I would love to read more of it one day! Or even just to hear some of the extra lore tbh

Hello Anon, sorry I took a little bit to answer this but this past two weeks have been insanely busy. But I've been so excited waiting to get a chance to answer this.

Here's some lore for the Shalvis Vampire AU. Here's how vampires were created: Basically, earth went through a period of devastating wars + bad environmental impact. Both Galea + Klaus were part of a scientific group that was researching multiple ways to find solutions/paths to progress that would benefit the future of humanity. Galea was working on artificial intelligence (actual intelligent computers) which was the Trinity. This version of Klaus was actually more of a chemist/biologist than physics guy so he was obsessed with finding a way to make humans stronger/more able to deal with possible nuclear fallout + rampant disease. They had other colleagues that were messing around with certain things too. One was researching clones (this will be important later) and another was researching magic. Klaus thought the magic obsessed researcher wasn't a real researcher/scientist and told that guy as much. Those two did not get along.

Anyway, Klaus's whole human super-serum research hits a bottleneck, but he's arrogant enough to think that he's got it right. Animal trials were slow going, but there's rumors of pulling funding from all of their research. Klaus decides screw it, he'll test his formula on himself and prove that his research was worth everything. Galea runs in, but is just a tad too late to stop him from testing it on himself.

Klaus pretty much blacked out and woke up to the lab in shambles, many of his colleagues either dead or missing, and both him and Galea covered in blood. Congrats Klaus you turned yourself and Galea into the world's first vampires!

Klaus isn't exactly upset at being a vampire because technically he did achieve his goal. However, he's super pissed that he doesn't understand how it turned out like this. This was not how his experiment was supposed to go (and the blood lust was annoying tbh). As for Galea, she's so pissed at him, and she wants it fixed immediately.

So, the two of them are forced to work together to start puzzling out what happened. They both blacked out for multiple days but luckily the cameras in their lab compound place still worked. Things they figure out: (1) after Klaus injected himself, he injected Galea with the formula too for reasons unknown cause he doesn't remember that part, (2) their magic obsessed coworker messed with/cursed/did something to Klaus's formula which probably played a part in how everything turned out, (3) Galea's pretty sure magic guy did it cause Klaus was annoying and mean, (4) they have no clue what he did which is not helpful for figuring out how to undo everything, (5) magic guy is dead, (6) their clone obsessed coworker is also dead, (7) she was secretly making clones of people including them, (8) they turned their own clones into vampires and uh who knows where they went, (9) they also turned Galea's Trinity aka Ontos, Pneuma, and Logos into vampires somehow, (10) Galea is very very mad and Klaus is just confused because how does one turn essentially super computers in synthetic bodies into vampires.

So yup. That's why Alvis and his siblings are vampires. And Meyneth and Zanza are clones of Galea and Klaus who went off and started turning people + creating vampire society. A couple of the missing lab staff people were also some of the early vampires who ran off and started causing problems.

The AU takes place many many years after the og incident. According to vampire society, Galea + Klaus are the elusive Vampire Progenitors who are pretty much never seen. Then there is Vampire Princess Meyneth or Lady Meyneth who leads her own faction, and also Vampire Prince Zanza or Lord Zanza who leads his own faction. The two of them generally don't agree.

Klaus + Galea are hardly seen/hardly interact with vampire society because they spend all their time trying to figure out how to undo what happened + find a cure. They're also pretty time blind ngl.

And that's some extra lore for now. Might drop more later.

New Shalvis fic based on @chifuvrse and your horribly-amazing-lives in-my-head-rent-free timeloop comic. Sincerely. I could not move past it without adding a sequel. (This is the comic btw) Here it is: Waiting By The Seaside

Summary

After 49,672,953 loops, all of which Alvis remembers, Zanza is finally defeated. Purpose fulfilled, there is no reason for him to stay. After 49,672,953 loops, none (?) of which Shulk remembers, Shulk waits on a beach and desperately wishes Alvis hadn't left.

I enjoyed working on this. Even if the pining was also making my chest ache in real life.

[chifuvrse]

did a doodle of a scene from @smolavidwriter 's new shalvis fic !! smol i hope you enjoy :-D

[smolavidwriter]

OH MY GOSH IM LITERALLY SCREAMING

[smolavidwriter]

Hahah I did it. Modern AU Shalvis is finally complete. Bartender Alvis. Flustered Shulk.

This was a gift for @chifuvrse since he has made some of the best Shalvis art I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. Seriously, I eat it up every single time.

So here's my fic, Behind the Bar

Summary:

Shulk was really only in Trinity Spirits bar because Reyn and Fiora had dragged him out to celebrate their upcoming graduation. So when he lost track of his friends, Shulk kinda wanted to go home. However, the pretty silver-haired bartender named Alvis quickly made Shulk forget about wanting to leave.

I enjoyed making Alvis very flirty and flustering Shulk like a million times in this fic. Shulk was seriously dying.

[smolavidwriter]

I DID IT. I'm pretty slow in terms of writing so I'm super hyped that I finished my Vampire Alvis x Vampire Hunter Shulk fic in a few days.

It's called Vital Exchange.

Status: One-shot. Finished.

Summary:

Clearing out the abandoned apartment complex turned vampire nest was supposed to be a simple mission. However, things get more complicated when a silver haired vampire named Alvis appears, looking for an escaped creature and willing to work together for the sake of their missions. Shulk shouldn't trust him but he does. Enough to offer his own neck when Alvis takes a hit meant for him.

I've never written anything for vampires and I just wanted to write a blood drinking scene so badly. Plus, Shalvis deserves more fics.

Even though Shulk is a vampire hunter, this is not enemies to lovers. This is more like forbidden/star crossed lovers right off the bat because Shulk is instantly captivated (even though he knows he shouldn't be).

[smolavidwriter]

Third chapter for SIN is up.

Ch 3 Summary:

Seraph wonders how far can he walk before the invisible chain tightens around his chest. He's also forced to take a little test flight.

This is my self-indulgent Alpha makes a clone of Shulk and names him Seraph fic. I'm just putting this guy through it.

This chapter isn't too bad for him but like next chapter is worse so it all balances.

[smolavidwriter]

Continuing hyping my old fics, slowly but surely. I wrote this with @purplewimon

This is a another demon slayer one called Sunspot Cafe: "Halloween" Special

Status: one shot, finished.

Summary:

TanZen Week 2022 Day 1: Coffee Shop AU/Trick or Treat It’s All Hallows Eve and, despite being surrounded by bloodthirsty monsters, Zenitsu is doing his best to smoothly flirt with the cute cafe owner, Tanjirō Kamado. Tanjirō, also ignoring said monsters, finds Zenitsu equally cute and flirts right back. Murata would like them to please stop flirting in front of his salad, it’s so bad it hurts, and to notice the fucking monsters before they all die.

This one was inspired by a manwha/light novel that we both read. It was so hilarious that we decided to make a demon slayer AU for it. Just really had fun with Tanjirō running a bakery and completely oblivious that all the customers he's serving are monsters (they're very polite because Tanjirō makes good food they are NOT risking losing him). Zenitsu is ignoring the monsters because he's flirting. Murata is third wheeling and terrified for his life because uh hey these monsters could end his life.

[smolavidwriter]

I love Shalvis so much. So like sick fic called Computer Virus

Status: multichapter, ongoing

Summary:

Computers get viruses, even Alvis. Luckily, he has a housemate who's very willing to take care of him. Shulk doesn't know as much about computers as he would like to. But taking care of Alvis while he's 'sick' couldn't be that hard.

Literally started this because I saw a writing prompt that said think about how a character would react if their computer had a virus. And so Shulk has to take care of sick Alvis. I've written two chapters and they make me insane.

[smolavidwriter]

I haven't gone through all my old fics yet but I'm also trying to keep up with my current fics.

I just posted a second chapter for Walk A Mile (In Another's Shoes)

Status: Multi chapter, ongoing.

Summary:

The fight with Egil went better than Shulk could have hoped. Peace was within his grasp. Then everything slipped through his fingers. The voice in his head was never his own. Who will protect his friends from the god wearing his face?

This is a Xenoblade Chronicles fic. As soon as I played this part of the game, I was obsessed with the whole Zanza reveal and the fact that he looked just like Shulk. Talk about horrifying. So I thought, what if I explored a version where Dickson never shot Shulk but instead Zanza took control of him as he originally intended too. So it's a possession fic. However, Shulk isn't just gonna let this happen. He's gonna fight back. And Alvis is gonna come up with a creative solution (because lets be real, he does not want Zanza to win) which I'm super excited to write. :)

[smolavidwriter]

My design for Seraph’s Monado for my fic SIN. (Context: Seraph is a clone of Shulk made by Alpha).

It's mainly based on the Monado II but with a little some inspiration from Malos' Monado, N's sword of the end, and Mythra's Monado (specifically the handle part). I tried working in elements from Zanza's Monado but was having too hard a time (his sword is ugly) so instead I just made sure to have gold on the sword and spikes of some kind.

When activated, the blade is pale blue. I debated on gold but this fit (I really liked my partner's suggestion that it's pale blue because Seraph is a pale imitation of Shulk.)

[smolavidwriter]

Today is yet another fic I've written with @purplewimon. He's very fun to brainstorm with.

This one is called Takeo's Stamp of Approval

Status: one shot, finished

Summary:

Takeo Kamado’s Personal Notebook (Shigeru Keep The Fuck Out) - As the self proclaimed sanest member of the family, I am investigating my siblings' partners to make sure they are good matches. If only I could write my notes and analysis in peace, Shigeru. - (No <3 - Shigeru) - (Why’d you put a line through my warning?) - (Why’d you put lines through all my notes -Shigeru) - (I should have left you on that street corner all those years ago) - (But ya didn’t -Shigeru)

This is entirely crack. Modern AU demon slayer crack. It's a notebook written by Takeo (Tanjirō and Nezuko's little brother) with Shigeru (other little brother) being a little punk. Takeo is judging his siblings romantic partners and his family in general. This thing is full of just memes and jokes. It was funny and still is imo. All of the siblings are adults in this (older than they ever will be in canon....)

[smolavidwriter]

You can tell when I started law school lol. Anyway, I'm on summer break now so back to talking about my fics.

This one is a demon slayer one called Peaches or Lightning

Status: one shot, finished.

Summary:

“I might have a fever but I think it’s worth it if I can keep you warm.” Normally a phrase like this from Tanjirō of all people would cause Zenitsu to turn beet red and die. Not this time. If no one else would look out for Tanjirō’s health then Zenitsu would take it on himself. He wouldn’t turn down the cuddling though.

This one is 5000% fluff. It's so fluffy. I wanted first kisses and cuddles and super cute TanZen moments. Plus, like Tanjirō just has a fever all the time because of the Hinokami Kagura and that like sits in the back of my head.

[smolavidwriter]

Ok back to hyping my old fics again. Star Crowsed Lovers

Status: one shot, finished.

Summary:

Matsuemon couldn't stand Ginko. Ginko wanted nothing to do with Matsuemon. Too bad their demon slayers wanted to be friends. Is this the beginning of a beautiful romance or will one bird murder the other?

This has to be the strangest fic I've written and I wrote it in my notes app in one go. I was looking through the KNY wiki and discovered that Tanjirō's crow Matsuemon got married to Muichiro's crow Ginko and it was so funny to me that I went to check if ao3 had any fics with the pairing cause it's ao3, ya know? Surely someone wrote it. Well turns out that someone ended up being me. So this is a short fic of them flirting/fighting. It's crowmance if you will.
