Hospital Flowers by hoshiko2kokoro
A firefighter has done more than just save Arthur’s life. He’s giving him a whole new perspective on life.
2 sequals:
Growing Gracefully
Night
He’s A Keeper by Zo One
Alfred’s had his pen pal, Arthur, since the second grade. But now he’s becoming a man and he wants to meet his best friend, hidden behind paper and emails. What he didn’t expect was the longing long distance brought. USUKUS
My Misfit by Zo One
Arthur Kirkland, lead singer of a popular European Alternative band, came to America to charm the nation into his bed. But instead he found himself caught in the web of a disgruntled McDonalds employee. USUKUS; 3shot; AU
The Baffled King and The Idiot Hero by Ellarose C
modern AU. Detailing how two anons went from moderator and troll to internet frenemies to best friends, and then some - chatspeak included. Hallelujah.
1 sequal:
Wicked Twisted Road
How To Leave The Closet by Butterfish
US/UK - AU. Arthur is a businessman who is still in the closet. Alfred is openly gay. The two of them meet - and fall in love. But can they keep up this relationship when they’re so different?
The Fruit Forbade by Verboten Byacolate
Wherein it is pondered which needs the other more: the fearless, reckless human, or the besotted guardian angel.
Mister Greeter by OrangePlum (tw for: mentions of abuse)
“Hello. Welcome to Hell. Name, please.” US/UK
Here I Am by Mizu-Tenshi
Alfred and Arthur are lovers. America and England are definitely not. When England and Arthur somehow switch places, with no way to get back to their own world, both parties have to confront things they never wanted to admit.
The Course Of True Love by Irate Italian (tw for: alcohol abuse)
Alfred doesn’t get Arthur. No matter how much the older boy hurts him, why can’t Alfred get him off his mind? Through the years his infatuation only seems to get bigger no matter what Alfred tells himself. Human AU.
Clockwork by mandathegreat (tw for: mentions of abuse)
Why couldn’t people be like stars and clocks? Always moving along in their paths, always ticking away every second like they should be. People are different. They can’t let the world be as it should, they have to interfere with nature.
Arthur supposed that the gods up in the sky were like clock-makers. They made you, the clock, and let you tick away, as you should. But life has a way of making you tick differently, against the beat.
Arthur felt his heart beating with Alfred’s. They were ticking right on schedule. Cardverse AU.
Down The Rabbit Hole by snowyfoxpaws
Alfred seeks out a master to teach him the fine art of magic. Unfortunately, he didn’t exactly do his research and ends up as the vowed apprentice of Arthur, a wizard who specializes in sex and seduction.
Sand and Silk by Hannaadi88 (tw for: abuse)
Slavery takes on many forms- enslavement of the mind, bondage of the body and subjugation of the will. In a time when flesh is sold for money, free will is a luxury that only the rich may enjoy. Harem AU, UKUS.
on-going/unfinished:
Hunger by MountainMan74
Life isn’t easy when you’re an immortal creature of myth, but Alfred F. Jones has been doing it for 251 years. Then, while visiting London, he runs into a human who throws him for a loop-Arthur Kirkland, the first person to ever resist Alfred’s charms. Instead of forgetting about Arthur, Alfred becomes determined to win the Brit’s heart.
Tessellate by Tzitzimime (tw for: mentions of abuse)
Alfred F. Jones, recent high school graduate and romantic failure, has never been more shocked than when his mother puts a certain widely-published abuse case into his care for an indefinite amount of time. It goes without saying, neither Alfred nor this poor Brit have any aspirations to become friends. But, getting himself into social messes is Alfred’s speciality…
The American Candide by Tzitzimime
Alfred F. Jones, gullible, carefree American and new resident of the United Kingdom, quickly finds himself greatly disliking the new country he has moved to, mainly because of the rain. There is nothing of interest in the pub in which he now works, except perhaps mysterious tales of a man who hasn’t left his house for fifteen years.
It Came From Vega by Milo
Arthur’s life is a dull one consisting of mostly working and sleeping. But this all changes when a familiar face from his past returns after twelve years. Now poor Arthur is left to deal with his little imaginary alien friend and all the chaos that he brings with him. Eventual UKUS.
Siren’s Call by snowyfoxpaws
It’s hardly difficult to find your one true love when magic’s involved. The only issue is convincing him to love you back.
Sequel to Down the Rabbit Hole.
Roads Untraveled By Celestial Clusters
(tw for: Alfred’s anxiety attacks and such)
AU. Eventual USxUK. Alfred F. Jones, retired soldier, abandons the busy and chaotic lifestyle of NYC in search of an opportunity to start anew and escape the memories of war. He easily finds peace in working for Arthur Kirkland, a florist with a kind, warm heart. But, well, perhaps he’s getting in a bit deeper than he expected. Not everyone in this town likes him, after all.
Not So Little Mermaid by SconeButtocks and star_spangled_innocence
Arthur Kirkland is head of a publishing house and has a very normal, boring life. That is, until one of his acquaintances drags him off to the Black Market and Arthur meets a creature who he didn’t even know existed. And that creature is for sale.
well known:
We’ll Meet Again by George DeValier
WW2 AU. London pub owner Arthur Kirkland is driven to distraction by loud, brash American fighter pilot Alfred Jones. Unable to stop it, Arthur finds himself falling for Alfred’s charms… just as the pilot is preparing to leave for war.
paired with other fics of the same universe, has 1 sequal:
Keep Smiling Through
American Dreams in an English Village by Butterfish
Alfred and his family move to an English village and become neighbours to Arthur and his family. Arthur doesn’t like the American, but they befriend each other, and slowly friendship becomes love. But that’s not good in a little township!
