i don't know how many people here are fans of steven universe/ao no exorcist, but i've been reading a lot of fic from both lately so i thought i'd drop some recs anyway ^_^
wheels by hadithi - steven universe, 10724k, steven/connie, fluff/light angst a very chill and cute fic set right after the events of bismuth casual. there's some light angst but it's mostly just steven and connie staying out late and being very awkward with each other, lol. the shipping is pretty light but it's still there regardless. short but sweet!
if i were (same but different) by hueue - steven universe, 41303k, time travel, angst, hurt/comfort basically, su:f steven ends up in the past with 12 year old steven, and it's a whole angsty mess. past!steven and future!steven bond despite their differences and it gets messy but it has a bittersweet happy ending that makes it all worth it. the author also has some more really good su fics, so i recommend checking out their other works too if this interests you.
when the stars align by call_it_a_miracle - ao no exorcist, 46201k, yukio/renzou, rin/shiemi, manga!verse, angst, adventure, slow burn this is actually an ongoing series with 5 works at the moment! i've been following it since the 1st fic and it is so, so good. unfortunately it's heavily based on the manga so that might be a barrier for casual aoex fans, but it's an angsty adventure with shipping, flashbacks, big reveals, and much more. also it has my otp yukishima which makes everything better lol
prepared with love by earlgrey_milktea - ao no exorcist, 4416k, fluff, angst, cooking/food, friendship, character study, light manga spoilers but can be read as anime!verse a mostly fluffy fic (but gets pretty angsty towards the end) in which rin learns how to cook, how to love it, and how to find comfort in it, even when things get really hard in his life. i've reread this so many times i can't count, it's just that good. the author's other aoex works are very good too!!
