"Velvette snapped a picture with Husk giving a grin in the background. He was enjoying this whole meeting thoroughly." - Chapter 5 of Ace of Finch by Ace_of_Many_Cards on Ao3.
This fic is so good. I'm in love with it. Husk and Velvette's friendship makes me insane they're so adorable and hilarious.
I highly recommend it!!!! It's a Huskerdust, Overlord Husk au and it is amazing!!
I did the sketch for this immediately after getting that ask about what I shipped in this AU. I finally got some time to finish it!!!
Here's some random swap au huskerdust thoughts:
I touched on it a little bit in the last post but because Husk works a lot he doesn't have the time or energy to pick apart Angel's mask and decide he wants to get to know the real him like in canon. So they end up staying in the 'enemies' arc of their enemies to friends to lovers slowburn a lot longer lmao
When they finally become friends it's because both of them slowly and steadily worked toward being kinder to each other.
After a long time of being mostly indifferent to each other after their rocky start, Husk notices that Angel hasn't actually been pushing his boundaries like he used to. During one of Alastor's activities, he sees that Angel actually goes out of his way to make sure he doesn't cross them.
A bit later, when he goes to the bar, instead of barging in and grabbing a bottle or making his own drink, he actually sits down at it. Angel, who had been cleaning glasses, just looks at him in surprise.
"The princess told me you've been practicing. Think you can make a decent drink yet?"
Angel grins. "You offering to be my taste tester?"
The drink Angel puts together is pretty great. A bit too sweet for Husk's taste, but it wasn't bad. He tells Angel as much, and the smile he receives in return is enough to convince him to continue to taste test anything else Angel tries making in the future.
