USUK MerMay Fic Recc List
Hey everyone! I really love mermaids and mermaid AUs, and so I wanted to kick MerMay off by compiling a list of my favorite (mostly not safe for work ;p) USUK mermaid au fics that this fandom has to offer! So, in no particular order, heres a list of mystical mermaid fics for all you USUK fans to enjoy this month!
1. Before They Learn to Swim by Threnna
Alfred F. Jones is a navy captain, capturing law disobedient individuals at the governments bidding. One day, this brings him across a very special belonging to one such villain. A merman. Which he is to bring across the ocean without any misfortune.
I haven't finished reading this one yet but its one of the highest rated usuk longfics hosted on fanfiction.net, and so far its really good! Its very well written and its interesting to see Alfred in a navy position in this type of historical fantasy AU instead of Arthur.
2. If You Love Something by Zo One
It will come back.
Ahh man I think this was the fic that really started my cravings for merman content awhile back LOL, I really just love Zo One's writing in general and this fic is no exception. Content warnings: dubcon and noncon at first (siren call stuff); if thats not your thing please heed the warning or proceed with caution.
3. My Lover Smells Like Fish by Snowyfoxpaws
Really fun, really cute human!Alfredxmerman!Arthur fic! And also its snowy so expect p0rn in there-
4. Becalmed by Snowyfoxpaws
Again, its snowy so its p0rn-
5. Untitled drabble by Snowyfoxpaws
Its really short but really cute and also mentions of p0rn-
6. Dying Rights by Snowyfoxpaws
I think this series is unfinished, but its a really good and short little merman!Alfredxhuman!Arthur fic! Can't remember if theres p0rn or not tho-
7. Clockwork by Snowyfoxpaws
Well-oiled gears in a machine that never stops running. Perpetual and haunting, a world with no purpose but to devour. As a Gifted, Alfred has taken it upon himself to rescue the kidnapped and the captured, each acquisition to his supernatural collection a soul he can attempt to mend, but everything changes when he begins his newest project—rekindling the will to live in the heart of a merman. [Unfinished]
I haven't actually started this one yet because I try and avoid readings works that will basically never be finished lol, but I really love all of Snowy's content so when I get desperate to read something I'll probably read through this in an instant and wish to god that they came back to finish it LOL
If you have any mermaid USUK fics that you'd like to recommend to me, I'd be happy to take your suggestions! Im always looking for more mermaid content hehe >:D
Happy MerMay everyone!
Edit because the links fucked up lol

Elevator of Doom (Not Love, Not Even Affection) by ArchangelUnmei
Summary: France and England get trapped in an elevator, which leads (predictably) to a fight and (less predictably) to a trip down memory lane.
Comment: I've been dipping my toe in different pairs and, of the fics recommended to me, this was a definite fav. The hilarious yet cranky banter is perfectly in-character for an old-married couple ship such as this. ^^
Rated T, Warning: Sexual Themes, FrUK, Word Count: 3k+, Canonverse

I feel like this isn't gonna make it, but are we allowed to submit our own fanfic? And also can the fanfic be from tumblr
You sure can! The requirements for submitting a story include providing an accessible link, therefore you only need have the link copied from the Tumblr post.
As to your question about submitting your own works: Absolutely! And while the comment is optional you, as the author, could include some of your writing process or what inspired the story rather than a reader’s review.
Thank you for the ask! <3

Chiaroscuro by Diane Long
Summary: Alfred is exhausted and weary from carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders and Arthur is there to give him some TLC and build him back up.
Comment: One of my favorite authors in the fandom, this piece is my personal pick out of all of their wonderful works. The descriptions and characterization are beautiful and it really is a story worth reading if you haven’t already! Tho this is a bit of a darker take on Al’s character and “care-free” manner. Also Arthur is a real sweetheart.
Rated T, Warning: non-sexual non-explicit nudity, USUKUK, Word Count: 4k+, Canonverse, Complete

At Long Last, England by avalonroses
Summary: Arthur has a nightmare of a time, thanks to American Airlines, but his bad luck isn't without a silver lining.
Comment: I'm just thinking of that one John Mulaney bit about delta airlines. Anyways, this is a good fic. It's pretty cute, a good read. Reread it to properly comment on it and have no regrets
Rated T, No warnings apply, America/England, fluff, meet cute, Word count: 2957, complete

Borrowed Sweater by philophrosynae
Summary: But before Alfred could slide out of his arms in embarrassment, Ivan leaned down and pressed their lips together. After all, they had already gone too far for him to waste an opportunity now. He would worry about the inevitable fallout later.
Because now, today, in his kitchen, Alfred was kissing him back.
Rated explicit, Warning: sex scene, Russia/America, Human AU Word count: 9k+, complete

he has eyes just like his father by lakeffectkid
Summary: Kugelmugel asks for a name. Austria doesn't know what to do now, but a solution appears in due time.
Comment: it's just cute interactions between Kugelmugel and Austria with the latter learning to be a father. They make a cake together. It's nice, very wholesome
Rated G, Warning: None apply, No romantic relationships, Kugelmugel & Austria, Fluff, Word count: 1238, complete

Why You Shouldn’t Let Sealand Plan a Prank (And Why You Shouldn’t Let Belarus Help Him) by Hetalia_Trash
Summary: I dreamt this up one night and made my best friend turn it into a fanfiction.
Comment: Sealand wants to do something fun for Halloween and gets Ukraine to help plan, who drags Belarus into it. Goes about as well as expected, aka horribly. This is a personal favorite, and a fic I think everyone should read, if you aren’t too terribly against the idea of temporary character death and their s/o and friends and family seeing them dead. It ends well, but is a bit sad along the way
Rated T, Warning: Temporary character death, Ships: England/France, Lithuania/Poland, America/Russia, Germany/North Italy, South Italy/Spain, Hong Kong/Iceland, Austria/Switzerland, Denmark/Norway, Finland/Sweden, Canada/Prussia, Greece/Japan, Canonverse, Angst, Word Count: 14k+, Complete

Train Wreck by AuthorReinvented
Summary: Officer Brown is an ordinary officer trying to minimize the damage of a train wreck in the mountains of Canada.
There, he meets Alfred Jones looking for “Mattie.”
Comment: honestly recommend anything by AuthorReinvented, and will definitely be submitting some more of my faves by them, but in this one Matthew gets in a trainwreck and Alfred freaks a little. It’s from an outside pov, which I think is pretty cool
Rated G, Warning: None apply, America & Canada, Canonverse, trainwreck, Word count: 1389, Completed

Sun Tea by philophrosynae
Summary: Alfred sighed sweetly into the Summer-honeyed breeze that danced in their hair and kissed at their skin.
Comment: A personal favorite of mine, Alfred and Ivan have sex in the backyard while waiting for the sun tea to brew. They’re another author I quite like, though admittedly I haven’t read enough of their fics. Despite being a smut fic it manages to be fluffy and sweet
Rated explicit, Warning: Sex scene, Russia/America, Word count: 3138, complete

King of the Superficial by Drones_of_Innocence
Summary: Famous actors must have a hard time at cons. Or so you’d think. Title inspired by a line from a Muse song. For Owynsama for the Summer Festival Exchange back in 2016.
Comment: Very cute and fluffy. Arthur is very stubborn and rude at first but then he softens up. Is a bit too fast-paced for my liking, but still good. Despite the description it was posted back in 2018. So a bit older, but not that old
Rated G, Warnings: None apply, America/England, Actor AU, Fluff, Enemies to friends to lovers, Comic con, Word count: 6491, Complete

Do u have any example fics of how u like america written, cause now I'm curious?
i think shatterdoll and VioletLolitaPop on fanfiction.net do a good job at characterizing him
also @drewyth has one of the best takes imo on the way alfred is
ig my fave "example" fics would be:
https://m.fanfiction.net/s/5510071/1/You-and-I-will-Fall-in-Love (M) multi-chap
https://archiveofourown.org/works/19480528

A Dying Sun by chrysanthemumthrone
Summary: He could not beat them, those imperialists, so he joined them himself. In the glory of the Rising Sun, he almost did not realize what he had lost, or what he had never found. Longish character study of Japan and his relationship with China, from the beginning of his Westernization to the end of WW2.
Comment: This fic blew my mind. Like, really blew it. It’s so thoroughly researched and the characterization is fantastic. There’s a lot of symbolism that translated the history just perfectly and explored Japan’s perspective as he meets the western world, following his intro with America, complicated relationship with China, alliance with Britain, and much, much more! I highly recommend this fanfic, it’s just such an amazing read! :)
Rated M, Warning: Violence, Explicit Romance, Institutionalized and Period Typical Racism, (and in one scene America is shown violently binge eating with an audience), Japan/China, Japan/England, England/America, Japan/Taiwan, America & Japan, Canonverse + Historical, Word Count: 36k+, Complete
Seriously tho guys, reader discretion advised.
