Wizards Hearts Recs: Canon Divergent
Wizards Hearts was a four-month-long Drarry reading fest. Players were given a playing deck of 52 tropes, and were asked to find 52 different fics to read and comment on to fill their decks. To prevent the same few fics from being read, fics were restricted to only being used for the game three times before being considered ineligible for further points. The tropes and submissions list can be found here.
Check out the masterlist of fics for this trope below the cut!

💝, 👘, 💭
💝Tell us your OTP?
I don’t really talk about ships here too much since they can alienate people, but I will literally ship anything. I don’t get up in arms about any ship wars or dynamics, literally every pairing has some good quality that can’t be found in any others. rarepairs? hell yeah. dorm pairs? hell yeah. any character with nanami? sign me up. nanami/tomo? amazing. cross uni pairs? Perfect. This goes for any series. I am open to any and every ship, I don’t think I have EvER come across soemthing I won’t ship given a bit of thought.
I would of course have to go with the classic tokioto. I used to roleplay them (but thats another story) and honestly that serious character that melts around puppy character dynamic? hell yeah. I love that theyre both so clearly inspired by eachother. Their designs also work really well together. Of course this could just be my favourite because there is probably the most canon and fanon content for them (although m/m pairs for Utapri seem a bit rarer especially in western fanbase wehere people seem to really focus on /readers in fic.) I could talk about these two for ages, but I’ll do my best to hold back.
You bet I bought heaps of Utapri doujin when I went to comiket.
👘 Favourite outfit set?
Very hard one! I’ll think about this not considering the art of the cards or anything, just the outfits. Not including event sets or single event themes, my favourite set outfit would have to be the Christmas v1 Set, Snowy Night’s Sparkling Stars Christmas Live. Not only does the sethave beautiful art and URs, but I absolutely adore everyones outfits. Usually, When Quartet Night and Starish have different outfits I’ll much prefer one over the other, but here, theyre a lot more uniform, yet still with individual touches. There seem to be three types of jacket, and I’d say my favourite has to be the simple one worn by Cecil, Otoya and Ranmaru. They just look so soft. When Setsugetsuka comes out though, they will probably be my favourite outfits in cards.
Marine and sweets are my two main aesthetics, so of course those two sets are definitely some of my favourites, but thats probably due to the theme rather than the actual outfits. I also really love the simplicity of Caught in the Rain.
Honorable mention to Secret Halloween Nightmare, love the set, lovely outfits, but I generally prefer lighter themes than darker ones.
💭Interaction you’d like to see between characters?
I’ve mentioned before how much I love the canon fact then Ren and Ai are gamer buddies so off the top of ym head, thats the main thing I’d like to see mroe canon content for. Even if Ai wasn’t my best boy, I think this would still be my answer. You’s expect it from Ai, but its that gap with Ren that makes it so appealing. I love to think of them organising weekly or fortnightly 24 hour gaming sessions on the weekends or whenever they’re both free from work. The rest of Starish and Quartet Night know this, and make sure to keep that time free from any group work.
I feel like it would be a really great time for them to unwind from a hard work week, and they probably have that bond where they can just sit there for hours and only talking about the game.
Also joked with friends once that Ai can just play the mmo in his head during work breaks or when hes charging and at the end of the week Ren has to try and catch up. They probably buy eachother in-game currency for their birthdays. nerds I love them.
