JosMura: Who do you think developed feelings first? Did they accept these feelings or deny them at first?

Oh, well, all my Joken headcanons are just out of my imagination because we don’t really have too much canon development? haha. What I’m going to say here is based mostly on canon stuff but it’s also mix of my own ideas and interpretations. I clarify this because I’m not going to exactly quote what’s literal canon and what’s just assumptions/theories.

When I think about them, both Josak and Mura had a previous crushes to deal with first. And they’re similar kind of crushes in my opinion.

Josak seems to like Gwendal at first sight, then it developed because Gwne is actually a cinnamon roll and the best person ever, a good role model and an excellent boss. He did so many things for Josak and other soldiers, all the minorities, like half humans and the transvestite/trans community in Shinma. It’s pretty clear why would Josak love him. But the chosen one is Anissina, a match made in… hell? haha, poor Gwen.

Mura’s case is kind of similar, except he thought Yuuri was the one because it’s the first person he can share his Daikenja secret with. Their path crosses since kindergarten, but they don’t develop a friendship until middle/high school. But Muraken started feeling something weird about him, aka noticing they have this predestined bond, way before Yuuri even knew who he was. So, Yuuri’s also a cinnamon roll and the best guy ever, who seems to be a gay in the closet who doesn’t have the guts to come out to him but Muraken clearly noticed. So far, Mura probably thought he had good chances, then he travels to Shinma and meets Wolfram. Oficial fiancé and clearly really close to Yuuri, he notices right away Yuuri has feelings for this guy and he ends supporting that relationship because Yuuri’s happy. He’s the one, the match made in heaven, what can you do about that?

In the present timeline, it looks like both Josak and Mura still enjoy spending time with or teasing their old crushes, but they already got over them.

We know Murata and Josak meet the first time during Caloria arc. Josak is going around following them in disguises, and Murata is not stupid and notices he’s always the same person following Yuuri, so he confronts him seriously and accepts he’s there to help. But they actually talk for real when Mura is imprisoned in Flynn’s mansion, this is extra content in Drama CD 25 The other MA side Deluxe!

So, the first thing Murata comments about Josak when he sees his real appearance is he’s handsome, and that he looked good with a beard as an old person or even as a lady with makeup, but he prefers the plain real Josak. Murata accepts all sides of Josak, and that’s just SO good.

Then they both have to reveal who they really are to each other, but they do it in a vague way at first. Josak knows exactly who Mura is for some reason, but it seems he’s kind of confused or joking about some stuff so I can just assume he had very little information to start with and he just keep assuming things by his own. My theory is he got the intel from Gwendal, who got it from Ulrike, because there’s no other person who can notice the Daikenja traveling along with Yuuri besides her… and Shinou, who is of course the one who told her , the stalker XD

So, Josak also compliments Muraken because his black eyes are just gorgeous. It’s funny because he scripted what to say and he was planning the whole scene about “your beautiful eyes like the night” and Murata goes and ruins it putting his contact lenses by himself haha. Josak is just messing around, but the point is they found each other attractive since moment cero and their personalities are very compatible.

Also, Murata is not like Yuuri, at all. He knows how to give orders, make plans, use his subordinates power. So starting at that moment it seems he’s been ordering Josak around to do many things in secret to protect and help Yuuri, and he trusts him a lot being him the only person who knows who he is and even addresses him by Your Excellency title. Murata even takes advantage of Josak hobbie as carpenter, making him prepare the a fake box and all.

For me, Josak starts being what Conrart was for Yuuri, the first closer subordinate and body guard. But it’s kind of different, because Muraken is way more independent and intelligent than Yuuri haha, he even compares that “putting on contact lenses on” scene with Yuuri letting Conrart do it and considering that being too defenseless and not normal. Like, I can do it myself, or only the staff at the pharmacy or a doctor will do it xD So, it’s a close master and bodyguard/subordinate relationship, but it’s also very different. Anyways, for me, Josak is the official Muraken subordinate and I would love if that idea is developed more in the present canon.

So, who liked who first, I’m not sure, both of them liked each other at first sight. But you need more time to deepen a romantic possibility. I think Josak will have way more troubles accepting to have real deep feeling for Murata than the other way around. This is because he’s the subordinate, he’s very low ranked compared with Murata who’s second to Yuuri in power. He already shows he has some doubts about Gwendal being a noble and a lord, so imagine the difference with Murata, it would be a mindblow to actually consider being in a relationship with this guy. He’ll probably think he could only be a secret lover or something like that, never something really serious. Also, Josak he’s very intelligent and perceptive so he must know all about Mura having/had feelings for Yuuri, which will need some clarification later.

The thing is, cultural differences, right? Murata is aware of his status in Shin Makoku thank’s to his memories, but he’s also just a teenager from Earth, contemporary times. And he’s really open minded, so he’ll probably not cares about the age difference, status, titles, genderfluidness of Josak haha. Nothing like that would be a problem, and he’ll probably educate Josak explaining some philosophical ideas from Earth. I don’t think Murata would deny his feelings at all but be the one who’ll have to push for the relationship to happen. Being Josak like he is, Murata is the best partner he could ever dream having and he could learn so much from him.

So in the end that joke Josak said about marring rich can become true haha, and he’ll gain a life of commodities and use whatever power he gains to keep growing and helping the other soldier from the drag/trans association. Happy, progressive, ending ♥

Yuuram in Novel 7

There’s so many scenes one casually forgets about!

------------------------------------------------------------------ Novel 7. ch.1 -OB-VIOUS-LY-

“The other ships in the original fleet will arrive in two or three days. I never thought that my calm eldest brother would send out a quarter of the navy after receiving the message sent by the Flying Skeleton Tribe.” “A quarter? Why?” “TO . FIND . YOU . OB-VIOUS-LY!” Wolfram gritted his teeth while spitting out each syllable one by one and brought his face closer to mine. “Don’t you understand what kind of a situation you're in!? You disappeared from the kingdom without a trace under dangerous circumstances!” “S-sorry.” “You’re hopeless. Now Gunter has turned into Okiku and Conrart…” He stopped speaking for a moment and averted his eyes from mine before changing the topic. He probably thought I wasn't ready yet.

------------------------------------------------------------------ Novel 7. ch.1 -More info about Wolf's body temperature-

“….Hmph!” The angelic-looking pretty boy, the spoiled prince, was obviously losing his temper. Even if he didn’t speak, just standing next to him I could feel his temperature rising and his blood starting to boil.

“Yuuri!”

------------------------------------------------------------------ Novel 7. ch.1 -Interesting -

The once proud and haughty Wolfram won't ridicule or comeback at Murata to his face. Although I couldn’t be sure, there seemed to be an unspoken, mutual understanding between them. No matter how sharp Murata’s remarks were, the third son would only vent his anger on me. When I secretly observe them, I find that there are times they won't even look each other in the eye.

------------------------------------------------------------------ Novel 7. ch.2 - Wolfie-

Wolfram’s mood seemed to improve greatly after hearing that. The first time he met her, he had interrogated me, “Who’s that woman? Who is she to you?” He had questioned the relationship between Flynn and me.

(...)

“... I was going to use you. For my own wishes, I was trying to sell you off.” Lord von Bielefelt’s sword clanged as he drew his sword out from its sheath a few centimeters. With one nod from you, I'll kill this woman immediately. He had said this many times and he was likely serious, but... “Stop, Wolf. I don’t want you to do that. And you too, Flynn... let’s talk about that later.”

------------------------------------------------------------------ Novel 7. ch.2 - I understand his hatred but I can't let him kill-

Seeing that Wolfram had withdrawn his right hand from his sword, I heaved a sigh of relief. I understood his hatred of Flynn, but I couldn’t let him, who hadn’t been there at that time, inflict punishment because of how he felt.

------------------------------------------------------------------ Novel 7. ch.3 -Confused Flynn-

“Don’t think about flirting with my fiancé!”

The beautiful 82-year old bishounen was glaring at us with his veins popping out from his forehead.

However, it seems Flynn had been more shocked by the complicated demon relationship rather than the thrown weapon. She was pointing at Wolfram and me with her mouth moving like a fish.

“F-fiance? So…that must mean one of you had given birth…..”

“Aah! I'm begging you please don't ask about that!”

------------------------------------------------------------------ Novel 7. ch.3 -Realizing Wolf's old-

“Really, I was wondering why you were only ever interested in older women and lolitas. So I see, you’ve reached the age for marriage while I wasn't looking?”

Talking about age, Wolf was a lot older than I was... I just realized now.

“W-wait, wait, Murata! Actually this is very complicated... Pretend you didn't hear about it.”

“Your Majesty, what’re you talking about? The engagement between His Excellency Wolfram and you is a great event throughout the country!”

“The whole country?!”

------------------------------------------------------------------ Novel 7. ch.3 -Reverse proposal-

Suddenly, a force hit me from the left making me bite down painfully on the inside of my cheek. It took me several seconds to realize that I had just been hit. I'd been the one doing the slapping and it had come in at a nice angle and made a loud noise. The other person just looked at me dumbfounded, unable to react for a while. Just like him, I just stared at the person who slapped me in the same way. “Insulting someone’s parents is a despicable act!” “…Wolf.” “Wasn’t that what you told me?” He was looking at me directly with his emerald green eyes which reminded me of a lake. Like I had been silenced with an overly strong mint, the back of my throat and my head hurt a bit.

(...)

“Eh?! But he got angry!”

The pretty boy grabbed at my collar at once.

“You were raging mad. As a result, you couldn't control your feelings of inferiority and love towards me."

“Wh-what about inferiority and love?! And what do you mean by I couldn’t control them?!”

“Even though it was backed by anger, it was a good thing you proposed right away. If not, then you'd be in the middle of a one-sided crush on me right now. And by the way," he put the hand he used to slap me on his hip, cleared his throat and said confidently, “That right now was an old demon tradition called a ‘reverse proposal.'”

(...)

"Shibuya, it was like you confessed to him while you were drunk?” “N-no!”

------------------------------------------------------------------ Novel 7. ch.5 -Anissina's teachings-

“Then what about when Wolf gives Yuuri a biiiig hug?”

“That is also, in a way, an expression of love. There is nothing wrong with that.”

“Then what about when Wolf teases Yuuri and calls him a henachoko?”

“As long as it's henachoko and not henyachin (limp penis) it's all right.”

------------------------------------------------------------------ Novel 7. ch.8 -Sleeping Wolf-

After volunteering to be the first lookout, Wolfram has leaned against my shoulder and is now snoring. His blonde hair is shining copper in the light of the flames.

(...)Still wrapped up tightly in the thick blanket, Murata sits to my right. Wolfram stirs and shifts his body, pushing his head even more against my shoulder. It’s okay, you sleep.

(...)“An exile!?” Wolfram reacted to my voice as he leaned on my shoulder and almost woke up. However, his drowsiness soon took over and he instantly closed his eyes. “Whoops… Conrad’s father was exiled? In other words, he was someone who had committed some atrocious crime?”

(...)I desperately tried to calm the trembling of my body in order to not wake up Wolfram.

(...)“By the time Conrart had returned…”

The weight from my shoulder had lifted. When I turn my head, there was intelligence and strength shining in Wolfram’s eyes.

My left shoulder suddenly grows cold.(...)

“Oh, did we wake you?”

“Of course. There’s no way I’d be able to sleep peacefully with all that fearful trembling. You really are a coward if a story has you scared.”

------------------------------------------------------------------ Novel 7. ch.9 -Maryoku-

“That’s right. Hey Wolf, how did I stop the fire back then that was about to burn that village down?”

Lord von Bielefelt makes a funny face after being suddenly asked this nostalgic question.

“You don’t remember? Rain.”

(after he put out the fire)

“… You know, it’s like there’s something weird with me. I seem to have turned into a cool guy.”

“To me it just looks like you pulled yourself together a tiny bit.”

There’s even a bit of unease in Wolfram’s teasing.

------------------------------------------------------------------ Novel 7. ch.10 -fighting-

“I’m going.” Nobody dared object to Wolfram’s firm statement.

“If unfortunately I lose, then Gurrier should go up next, don’t let Yuuri get up there.”

“….All right.”

Josak was smiling and nodding in approval, they were completely ignoring my opinion. However, rather than say I was sad that they had ignored me, I was more concerned about what Wolfram had just said. If unfortunately I lose….

(...)

“Wolf!”

I grabbed a sword from the wall. The weapon he had chosen was heavier than it looked, and the hilt was so rough it didn’t look easy to grip.

“Ah? The King himself is handing me a weapon?”

“Don’t joke about it, are you fine with such a heavy weapon?”

“Heavy? I’d purposely chosen a weapon that closely resembles the weapon I carry about.”

Lord von Bielefeld carefully accepted the weapon from me, drew out the silvery sword then unhesitatingly thrust its brown and insignificant sheath against my chest.

“This is for your majesty.”

“What….”

“Don’t mind me, it’s just my personal way of concentrating.”

(...)"(...)And also, can’t you put down that sheath?”

“….no, I’m fine with holding it.”

I wasn’t going to put something Wolfram had told me to hold for him on the ground, I could only watch his silhouette from behind as he left.

------------------------------------------------------------------ Novel 7. ch.11 -falling-

Lord Von Bielefeld, who had obtained a complete victory despite the disadvantage of having a smaller physique, was carrying his yet unsheathed sword and heading tiredly yet victoriously towards the resting room….

“Wa….! Wolf!”

He had slipped and fallen face down while heading towards us. Walking on the hardened snowy ground had caused him to slip and fall, banging his waist and right leg hard.

“How come you fell down?! Are you alright?”

Josak and I hurriedly ran out and helped Wolfram up. Poor Wolfram seemed unable to walk on his own and was even gazing blankly into the sky while muttering, “….This…this is so embarrassing…”

“Relax, don’t worry, there’s really nothing to be ashamed of! We’ll pretend that we didn’t see that last scene. Your handsome and dashing appearance must have fatally charmed so many girls….”

“Getting noticed by human females is nothing to be happy about!”

------------------------------------------------------------------ Novel 7. ch.11 -Do you know why?-

Wolfram linked his arm round my neck and gazed at me, “Yuuri, listen to me carefully! This is just my personal opinion, but I don’t think we should give up the competition for this type of woman. Just let Josak continue to do his best! What do you think?”

“….this is your way of doing things…”

“That’s right, this is what I think we should do. Anyway you’re really a henachoko, you should listen to what I said.”

I was apologizing to someone in my mind, even if it’s just this once, please allow me to succumb to the evil side who is threatening us. I think I should be apologizing to the gods who represent the spirit of sportsmanship. I linked my own arm round Wolfram’s neck, and drawing him closer to myself, I apologized to him too,

“I’m sorry, I’m always this much of a henachoko, I really am quite embarrassed as well, especially since you managed to gain one point despite the risk of injuries. I’ll probably cause all your efforts to go to waste.”

Wolfram sighed loudly and continued in a dramatic tone, “That’s perfectly correct.”

“This is all because you’re too much of a henachoko. But although I’m perfectly aware of that, I’m still willing to follow you, do you know why that is?”

“I don’t know.”

Lord Von Bielefeld undid a button in front of his chest, his emerald green eyes seemed even brighter against the reflection of the white snow.

“Wrack your brains and think about it before I give up and dump you.”

After apologizing to Josak, I made a ‘stopping temporarily’ request to the judges.

------------------------------------------------------------------ Novel 7. ch.12 -This line is just amazing, so I included it-

Even Wolfram, who was sitting with one leg crossed over the other, was nodding in agreement to this, it seems that he too agreed with Josak’s opinion of ‘killing them all’.

Watchlist update

Halla, this is Kit! It’s been a little while since we posted an update for the watchlist, and we’re sorry it’s a bit overdue. We hope you’ll forgive us!

The usual: When it’s been more than three weeks since a fic was updated we consider it to be on hiatus and remove it from the watchlist. Then we pine away for it with lots of ice cream and crying. However, we don’t cancel our subscriptions and if one of the removed fics gets updated again, we’ll put it right back on the list.

The usual II: feel free to send us an ask if you have suggestions for fics we should check out – even if they’re not Evak-centric!

Update summary:

Completed: 2 Added: 3 Removed: 3 :(

News:

guess for once I can’t pretend by henriksen NEW Another ‘Isak and Even live together’ au with a pretty amusing riff on that ‘So Hot’ scene from season 4: in which Even starts working out and ‘forgetting’ his lunch, and Isak has to see him looking sweaty and fine. Throw in a pretty big misunderstanding, and you’ve got a fun fic with a heck of a lot of promise. - kit and immy

right click > save as by kittpurrson (@towonderland72) NEW A fandomception AU where Isak and Even are fans of a TV show with quite a few similarities to Skam (and nods to the Skam fandom), and it’s an engaging, realistic and fascinating portrait of how fandom works as well as a story of a budding romance. Beautifully paced and developed, it promises to be a great read all the way. Disclaimer: it’s written by one of the librarians. She’s off somewhere blushing, while the other librarian insists on reccing it. - immy

Bassline by rikyu NEW This AU sees journalist!Isak attached to the band Kardemomme, fronted by–you guessed it–Even. We’re already loving the friendship between Isak and Sana, as well as the glimpses we’re getting into the band dynamics (ft. Eva, Noora, Magnus, and Jonas), and can’t wait to see how this Almost Famous-esque fic plays out. - kit and immy

Come On, Set the Tone by @boxesofflowers, eeyoreneedsahug (@chloebeaux) COMPLETED

Complete, rec here. stay a minute by grinsekaetzchen (@hotchocolatenthusiast) COMPLETED

Complete, rec here.

Still on the watchlist:

making new clichés by strangetowns (@sanashappinessisendgame)

This Evak as best friends AU is incredibly well-written thus far and has a very realistic, nuanced portrayal of their relationship, both as children and in the present. This feels like the slowest, best of slow burns, and we can’t wait to see how it all wraps up. - kit and immy

Twice by intothewind (@brokenveinssay) This fake dating/band fic is a delicious addition to the world of Evak AUs, and we’re completely here for it. Isak pretends to be Jonas’s boyfriend, which leads to some full on Josak/Jovak-esque moments here, and we’d be lying if we said we hadn’t already read that shotgunning scene MULTIPLE TIMES. - kit and immy

Livredderen by Kudzibisa (Norwegian)

AU where Even is the first to arrive at the scene when Isak has been in a car crash. As usual from Kudzibisa, short clipped chapters keeping the reader on tenterhooks, peppered with beautifully crafted evocative sentences, for those truly blessed people who can read Norwegian. - immy

Livet skjer med meg by neelabrenner (@nilabrenner) (Norwegian) Post season 3 canon divergent story about Isak and Even’s life together, from Even’s POV. So far feelgood and funny and precious, but not without angst and other deep and not always pleasant emotions. Capturing the characters well from Even’s POV. Yes, those who can read Norwegian are indeed truly blessed. - immy

Expect the Unexpected by bri_ness (@brionbroadway)

This Big Brother AU had us at ‘snakesak’, and takes that tag to a whole new level. We’re transfixed by the mix of Big Brother gameplay and manipulation and the genuine interactions between Even and Isak, and we love how this fic feels really fresh while still giving nods to canon and staying in character. This is tagged ‘messy relationships abound’ and we’re totally here for it. - kit and immy

a mental archive of love unwanted by chevythunder (@icelandcurry)

This fic begins with Even in love with Mikael and moving into the kollektiv with Isak and Linn–a combo we didn’t know we wanted. We’re already loving the angst and the growing friendship between Isak and Even, as well as the dynamic with the balloon squad, whose friendship here is ultimately #goals. Although we all know how this fic is gonna end, this feels like a breath of fresh air, and we can’t wait to read more. Note: our previous rec had an error in the title, so apologies for that. - kit and immy

Mental kampsport by Peer (Norwegian)

Starting during Even’s depressive episode in S3 and being told from Even’s POV, this is an unforgettably beautiful and moving story. Every bit of it feels true to Even and the SKAM universe, while also bringing a feeling of fresh new perspectives to the table. Only in Norwegian, unfortunately, but if you can read that you should definitely read this. - immy

The Weight of Us by verlore_poplap (@mimi-fics)

This is a very interesting fic, in part because it’s so different to a lot of the stuff in the fandom so far. Isak and Even meet when they’re older, and in serious relationships with Emma and Sonja–in case alarm bells are ringing, yes, Isak and Emma are together, but the author uses the context of their relationship to explore what would have happened if he’d repressed his sexuality, which I think is very cool. The author also treats Emma very fairly. The fic has a few minor niggles–Isak, for example, at one point performs a super rare kind of heart surgery–but overall this fic has me really intrigued, and I can’t wait to read the rest. - kit

Stupid Cupid by BluebeardsWife … an AU with Isak as Eros evicted from Olympos and Even as, well, something supernatural not yet revealed (but based on his choice in films I can guess)? Oh yes. It’s well written and so far it’s really funny, but the tags hint of angst to come. Note: we’ve now fixed the link to this one! - immy

take me to the stars by iriswests (@westiris)

This fic makes the rather ambitious move of having Evak start off hating each other, before diving into a fuck buddy arrangement, but somehow the author makes it work. Some cool balloon squad stuff here, bonus Julian Dahl, and some nice b plotlines with Isak as an astronomy nerd working at the science centre and Isak and Eva as roommates. Well written, although we were sceptical about the dive straight into penetrative sex (which we should note is not explicitly described). - kit and immy

Knock Four Times by @folerdetdufoler

Yes, this is a US college AU, and yes, Even is American in it! This is extremely well written, and heavy on the angst–we won’t spoil you, but we’ll say that, as in the show, there were parts of this that were so well done they sort of hurt to read. Throw in a long distance relationship between Isak and his boyfriend back in Norway, and you’ve got a cool twist on the college AU setting that feels very realistic and really drew us in. - kit and immy

Watchlist update!

It’s a turbulent week for SKAM fans! We haven’t completely recovered from yesterday’s clip yet, but we’ve pulled ourselves together sufficiently to realise that it’s more or less a week since the last watchlist update.

The usual: When it’s been more than three weeks since a fic was updated we consider it as on hiatus and remove it from the watchlist. Then we perform a small ritual of grief. However, we don’t cancel our subscriptions and if one of the removed fics gets updated again, we will put it right back on the list.

The usual II: feel free to send us an ask if you have suggestions for fics we should check out!

Update summary:

Completed: 1 Added: 5 Removed: 2

News:

Expect the Unexpected by bri_ness (@brionbroadway) NEW

The Notion of Falling by smokeshop (@supermansplaining) NEW

Ostensibly a hate to love fic, this one has Isak and Even meeting through Sana and Elias, and has that perfect hurts-so-good thread of angst that gets me every time. It’s very heavy on Valtersen family stuff, with a lot of interaction between Isak and his sort-of-canon baby sister Lea, and I’m really into how much of that backstory this fleshes out. While it claims to be hate to love, mostly this fic centers around miscommunication and Evak starting out from a place of unintentionally hurting each other. Ouch, my heart. - kit

Things Look Different in the Morning by allyasavedtheday (@littlespooneven) NEW

THIS IS SO ADORABLE. This one has the somewhat handwavey scenario of Even needing to share a room with Isak (for Reasons), but once you accept that as a Thing this is one of the loveliest reads, full of feelings-inducing snuggles and (of course) bed-sharing. Isak and Even are technically college students in this, so this is a cute look at how it might have gone if they’d met later in life. It also features some of our favourite tags: slow burn and mutual pining. Warning: features insomnia. - kit and immy

a mental archive of love unknown by chevythunder (@icelandcurry) NEW

Mental kampsport by Peer (Norwegian) NEW

Starting during Even's depressive episode in S3 and being told from Even's POV, this is an unforgettably beautiful and moving story. Every bit of it feels true to Even and the SKAM universe, while also bringing a feeling of fresh new perspectives to the table. Only in Norwegian, unfortunately, but if you can read that you should definitely read this. - immy

with love, from anonymous by cosetties (@adamparishe) and iriswests (@westiris) COMPLETED

Completed, rec here.

Still on the watchlist from last update:

Spacewalker by evenvaltersen

How the hell you can make a Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo AU work with SKAM characters is beyond me, but evenvaltersen manages just that, in my opinion. This may be my obsession with Christiane F talking, but give it a go. Be warned: it’s every bit as gritty and sad as you can expect something based on a mostly true story about teen drug addicts in Berlin in the 70s to be, no fluff here. - immy

making new clichés by strangetowns (@yousanaisendgame)

This is in its early days, but oh-so promising! It’s another Evak as best friends AU, but it’s incredibly well-written thus far and it has a very realistic, nuanced portrayal of their relationship, which is already just close enough that it has us absolutely stoked for the moment it tips over into feelings too big to ignore. - kit and immy

The Weight of Us by verlore_poplap (@mimi-fics)

Checking from Behind by DickAnderton (@wecanjustbreathe)

A slight disclaimer is probably in order here, because I (Kit) am betaing this fic, but I’m too obsessed with it not to rec it. This is a hate-to-love AU, set in my absolute favourite of AU universes–college ice hockey! You don’t need to know anything about the sport to be intrigued by this fic, which definitely isn’t your standard Evak storyline. Warning: Isak and Even both explore relationships with women in this one, so see the author’s notes. -kit

Twice by intothewind (@brokenveinssay) This fake dating/band fic is a delicious addition to the world of Evak AUs, and we’re completely here for it. Isak pretends to be Jonas’s boyfriend, which leads to some borderline Josak/Jovak-esque moments here, and we’d be lying if we said we hadn’t already read that shotgunning scene MULTIPLE TIMES. - kit and immy

the city of illusions, the city of yearning by elisewin (@books-figuero) A different city AU where the slightly older SKAM characters are exchange students in Rome, and where the author obviously knows the city and writes it well. Sweet and humorous so far, with a fair bit of the banter we adore so much in SKAM fics. - kit and immy

A Collection of Even & Isak’s First Kiss AU Shorts by @fandomlimb Just what it says on the tin: first kisses, a different AU in each chapter. Adorable short stories, varying POVs and varying amounts of fluff. - immy

Livredderen by Kudzibisa (Norwegian)

I’ll Be Coming Home, Wait For Me by @dahlstrom This AU sees Even as a chef co-owning a new American style diner with Yousef, and Isak as their new waiter, so we’re already invested in the dynamics set up here! We’re especially excited by the tags, which promise not only a delicious slow burn, but a taste of our girl Chris Berg. We’re already super hungry for more of this (okay, okay, we’ll stop now with the food puns) so: why aren’t you reading this already? - kit and immy

Straight up (series) by (@nofeartina)

From the second work in this series, this is rated explicit… and rightfully so, omg. It’s nearly impossible to say anything useful about this because we’re (hopefully temporarily) not very capable of explressing ourselves beyond vague rambling about “fluffly smut” and “hot” and “holy shit this is hot” and “have we mentioned yet that this is hot”. We’ll let you know when we pick our jaws up off the floor. - kit and immy

It has to be said, the pining in this travelling AU spanning YEARS is INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING. In a good way. Mostly. And well, it's epic and over the top, but it's also moving and heartbreaking and sweet and funny. - immy

Twice by intothewind (@brokenveinssay) This fake dating/band fic is a delicious addition to the world of Evak AUs, and we’re completely here for it. Isak pretends to be Jonas’s boyfriend, which leads to some borderline Josak/Jovak-esque moments here, and we’d be lying if we said we hadn’t already read that shotgunning scene MULTIPLE TIMES. - kit and immy

Watchlist update!

It’s been more or less a week since the last time (more more than less…), so here we go once more, darling evak fic fans ♥

We don’t reply to suggestions about fics for us to read, but do let us know in our ask box if you have any suggestions - there’s a lot out there to get through and we don’t want to miss the best of it!

When it’s been more than three weeks since a fic was updated we consider it as on hiatus and remove it from the watchlist. Quiet sobs may be heard when that happens. However, we don’t cancel our subscriptions and if one of the removed fics gets updated again, we will put it right back on the list.

Update summary:

Completed: 4 Added: 3 Removed: 5

Looking forward to the eventual smut in this one! - kit and immy

You Don’t Even Know Me! by @cuteandtwisted NEW Fuck yeah NRK interns AU–and yes, this does get meta in places. This fic starts off with a pretty antagonistic Evak relationship (warning: Isak says some problematic shit) burns off into an angst-ridden, hurts-so-good kind of emotional rollercoaster that the author does so well, and, a soapy turn or two aside, is an epic AU take that will have you on the edge of your seat every single chapter. If you know anything about NRK irl, you’ll just have to suspend your disbelief. - kit

Festen by Kudzibisa (Norwegian) NEW

The sequel to the lovely Vi trenger ikke verden, this is about Isak’s and Even’s moving in party, from Even’s POV. Clipped and slangy SKAM script-esque precise language is a delight in this as in the author’s first fic, so if you can read Norwegian you’re once more in for a treat. - immy

Still on the watchlist from last update:

Falling (The World is Yours) by chips2

This is basically “what if Even was the main character of season 3?” It’s first person, present tense, so beware if that’s not your thing, but I love how it fleshes out Even’s backstory and thoughts and imagines a world for him beyond his relationship with Isak. An obligatory warning for people with experience of BPD–this fic does portray therapy sessions, and ymmv on how realistic they are. - kit

Those, who could not hear the music by UniversalParadox_13

This is also pretty new, but again shows a lot of potential to be one of the fandom’s most interesting AUs–this one has Even and Isak as ballet dancers. Although it can go a little overboard with the italics, this fic is already super interesting, has a well-done portrayal of the ballet world, and promises to eventually venture into *drumroll* smut territory. Yep. That got your attention, didn’t it? - kit

with love, from anonymous by cosetties (@adamparishe) and iriswests (@westiris)

Fuck yeah well-written slow burn coffee shop AU! It’s also a secret admirer fic, and to be honest that sets off my skepticism, but this is such great fun and the fuckups and misunderstandings and coffee spills abound. It’s not entirely light-hearted; it comes with a dose of angst and frustration and the problems you can expect from life as well. - immy

Are You Lost? by @noorasevas

This Amsterdam AU is clearly written by someone who knows and loves their city, and we are so hooked on touristy Isak and urbane Even in this, as they manage to miss each other and lose each other and find each other. Of course Isak isn’t on his own here: the entire Boy Squad is on holiday together, and you can probably imagine how that rowdy group comports themselves in Amsterdam.
