I've been yearning for something with adult married yuuram and finally had this unbearable itch scratched!
The consort of the King by NiennaNir has kept me glued to my monitor for days! Totally hadn't expected to find a gem like that!
There's angst. Lots and lots of angst which potentially could make you recall some of the most miserable moments of your own life, but omg...
it's LONG and has delicious gradual development.
Both guys have to go through some terrible times but are always together, being fiercely protective and utterly devoted to and caring for each other which is all i ever wanted for them
They are best friends who love each other and they acknowledge it and openly talk about it. a sure way to draw me in.
Greta is really great in this (at later stages in particular)
They get a second child later on, and normally I wouldn't touch a kid-fic with a stick in any fandom EVER, but it's so well-implemented and WORKS so nicely, I almost can't see it being any other way now WHAT THE HELL
And most importantly? It's set in animeverse! The thing that had kept me frustrated and disappointed FOR YEARS gets a fresh perspective! idk but it made me go through so many feels
Just finished it the other day, and went straight ahead to reread it all over to have a fresh look.
This story almost makes me feel at peace about the non-existence of a proper ending for the novels XD
It's so great to get closure for something <3
