Speak Now by StarSpangledSilence. It's incomplete but it's first and only chapter could stand alone. It's rated M for mature themes (there's a brief description of sex). Alfred falls in love with Arthur at first sight, pursues him and Arthur falls in love with him as well. They move in together and that's when the difficulties begins to arise in their relationships. But somehow, they manage to stay together.

(I can so relate to the characters right now.)

OMG, seconded on Wait, What? I was requester on this fic, and it's the first request I've had filled, and I was so lucky because it was SO MUCH FUN. The fact that they have this completely random conversation while the smexing is going on was perfect.

Your Call - is a doujinshi music video by clau68522. The song is by Secondhand Serenade. I don't normally watch DMVs but this one has a good selection of doujinshi pictures and excellent editing. The song (which happens to be my favorite) goes along very well with the pictures. Some of my favorite parts of the video are 1:22 and the build up following 2:25.

There's kissing but nothing sexual explicit in this from what I remember. There is a knife that shows up towards the end of the video but nothing bloody or gory except for tears.

Here's the video (it's also included in the link above).

Oh, this was beautiful! Secondhand Serenade has some really heartfelt songs and this fit the vid so well!

Ooh! I used to re-watch this vid everyday! *v* It's also worth it to go through the "list" of doujinshi used, at the end. Every book is good.

Seconding "Photograph of an artist..."

It's based off abubu's blindchild au art on tumblr, and those two are doing great work together! Very impressed with the work. Chapter updates are relatively short compared to other fics, especially when you look at the length of each chapter. I haven't read chapter two yet, but I think it came in at around 10k words?

Definitely worth your time. Also, check out abubu's blind!child tag for pictures related to the AU :DD

I love 'A Photograph of the Artist as a Young Man'. If you're reading this for the first time or have read it and enjoyed it then please download this one too: http://www.mediafire.com/?6z1gg7wfzw5zu2q

It's a voice recording done by Falone42 for this fic and it's even recommended in abubu's tumblr. It adds to the experience. Hope you enjoy and don't forget to leave a comment on his LJ: http://amplificathon.livejournal.com/1315244.html
