Hiii!!! I’m partially new to KaneZero and I’m wondering if you have any fanfic recommendations?:0 do you strictly read kaname x zero? Or do you explore other ships in the fandom?:) i stumbled upon a fic named the week of four Thursdays by madmaenad!!! Not sure if you’ve read it before? It is YukixKanamexZero though but kaname and zero are a bit more centered! P.S love reading ur head canons! 😼

Hello! Wow my first kaze-related ask lol thank you! I don’t have any time to write but I love sharing a lot of headcanons here (they’re not consistent, only depends on my mood), and I’m glad you like them! I’ll continue to post more whenever the inspiration strikes. I do hope I find the energy to actually write though 😭

As for recs! I’ve checked almost all kaze fics on ao3, down to the oldest ones, and a lot on ff dot net but I know I missed a fuckton during kaze’s peak almost a decade ago 😭 old ship woes

Here goes:

-🔞 Blackenedwing’s fics, which are all deleted on ao3, sadly. But they’re some of the best. Heads up though: their Kaname is not ancestor Kaname, but the actual Kaname Kuran himself. Builds up from chapter 32 in canon and strays away towards its own narrative afterwards. R18 in some chapters. Really good characterization, but IMO it lacks the nuance of canon Kaze because we don’t have Ancestor Kaname and his role in fucking up Zero’s life. BUT when you read this you should ignore canon. Its own worldbuilding is quite nice. The author also uses a lot of external elements like extreme weathers and catastrophes to influence the story, events that surpass even the powers of pureblood vampires, which I love. Crimson Door and Blood Moon are the iconic ones, but there’s a fuckton of fics under Blackenedwing’s series.

-A Belly Full of Blood. Really old, builds up after Rido’s arc but canon divergence. REALLY GOOD TOO. This was written by someone I knew from a different fandom. This is my personal fave btw. Super long, 500k words? There’s a long sequel, which I haven’t read. This fic has a really strong influence on my worldbuilding headcanons.

-Three Words and I’m Yours (+the whole series). Classic kaze one shots. Really good too!

-Yume Sakura - Human au, simple but heartbreaking. I love this one. Slice of life.

-🔞 Drowned Kitten - 🔥 as fuck. I love this one. Playful, sexy, if you are a minor avoid this lol

-🔞 Unexpectedly Close to the Edge - FYI, BOTTOM/SWITCH KANAME. Fucking love this one. One of the best zekaze dynamics I’ve read, has influenced my own headcanons of Kaname and Zero a lot.

-Decaf’s fics, please read ALL OF THEM lol most of them are fun modern AUs and some really fucking sad AUs. Of Cakes and Heartaches is one of my faves as well as its 3am and im out of f*cks to give.

-Unholy Matrimony. One of the classic kaze fics not influenced by canon post-rido I believe? Written a long time ago when vk manga is still unfinished so be prepared for a lot of canon divergence. Has catholic/christian motifs.

-Switched by poryu. FYI this is built on Blackenedwing’s fanon so it might be confusing to read without knowing about that.

-Moon Drop. I like this one, but it’s modern au slowburn with crossdressing lol

- 🔞 Blood Will Tame A Savage Beast. This is really smut heavy, if you are looking for just that. Quite hard to find on ff too but it’s good for me lol

-A Few of my Favorite Things by SakuraGirl25 - This is fluff and slice of life. A bit OOC but who cares? It took me a while to find this btw

All of these are written in english but I think there are good non-english Kaze fics, but machine translation might not be accurate.

I know The Week of Four Thursdays, but I haven’t read it because I’m not sure if I’ll dig Yuki’s influence in the whole story. It’s a/b/o also, right? I’m not opposed to the threesome since I like some kazeki fics, I just have my own strict preferences.

That said, there are others I might reco but I haven’t finished reading them. You can stick to the older fics to stay safe (iykwim) but imo their sensibilities are quite different compared to modern BL. Which is refreshing tbh but yeah don’t expect anything tame when it comes to kaze. The r-word is used a lot in many fics.

I love kaze and zeka, depending on how their dynamic is built up. I ship Yuki with Takuma, because they have a cute ship name (Takuyuki… takoyaki 😭) and Takuma is drawn to purebloods, so who’s to say Yuki is off limits for him? Also they kinda have that forbidden romance vibe since Yuki is meant to marry Kaname and Takuma is meant to act in behalf of the Council’s interests. I’m flexible with Aido/Kain/Ruka/inner circle ships but I tend to avoid shipping Kaname and Zero with others (except Yuki, if done well). Kaito is 10000% straight in my eyes lmao

This is rare, but I love it when Rido, Juri, and Haruka’s dynamics are played with. It’s a goldmine for a lot of ideas since we don’t know what truly happened among these three.

Thanks for the ask!
