fishy’s official yr smau recs
(most of these are from 2022/23 bc that was the prime of my time on yrtwt)
- scars - simon is a tortured artist who has lost his faith in love. prince wilhelm is a fragile soul with a cynical streak searching for his place in this world after tragedy touched his life. maybe some people are just born to burn.
- shock to your system - the greatest yr enemies to lovers smau to exist. (kastin is one of the best yrtwt authors ever) (please read all of their smaus - they’re in the thread pinned to the top of their profile)
- the one where they reunite - once they were best friends, then they drift apart with no intention on ever speaking again. until they begin attending the same university halfway across the world
- dreamers often lie - wilmon & a production of romeo and juliet (cannot have a smau rec list without an emery fic. emery ily)
- tale as old as time - simon and wille are both students at hillerska university for the arts. this year, the university is performing a production of beauty and the beast, with simon as belle and wille as the beast. the only problem is that simon and wille have never gotten along. what could go wrong?
- tales of the heart - wille and simon are two actors that swore to never work together again, until they’re cast to play lovers in a movie together, no longer being able to avoid the inevitable
- guess i’ll just stumble on home to my cats alone (unless you wanna come along). - simon is the proud father of two cats. wilhelm has moved into his new apartment and he has already made a new friend, this orange cat that keeps visiting him.
- call it fate - when walter transfers to hillerska university midway through the year, he learns that henry, a small musician he adores, goes there as well. luckily, henry and his friends have already taken interest in walter. (this is a walty au (incomplete but pretty much wrapped up) and it’s written by my wonderful amazing super talented bf so i had to include it on the list)
i’ll add more as i remember them (: please enjoy!!!
