So lurking in Kyman fandom for awhile people would ask, what do you recommend reading? Well, after much searching I conjured up a list in what I believe to be the best Kyman fics. As well since this is Kyman week might as well fellow fans read some good shit during this fabulously gay week.
Remember folks, my list is incredibly biased HOWEVER from reading countless kyman fanfics and engaging with fellow kyman fans, this is solely based on what I consider to be strong kyman fics in terms of story structure, writing style, characterization, and overall enjoyment.
“Okay, will someone please tell me what the fuck is going on?” Cartman finally yells, clearly at the end of his tether. “So, what, everyone here got struck by lightning and now you’ve got superpowers like some kind of all-gay Justice League?” Misfits AU.
Kyle’s being introduced to a whole new side of himself, the panicked side, the scared side, and he doesn’t much care for it. Support comes from the last place he expected.
1) don’t try to get involved with Kyle Broflovski. You will face the wrath of Eric Cartman. Plus Kyle just isn’t interested, even if he pretends to be.
2) don’t try to get involved with Eric Cartman. You will face the wrath of Kyle Broflovski. And Eric isn’t interested and doesn’t try to hide that.
3) don’t try to get in between Cartman and Kyle. It never ends well. Just let them get it out of their systems.
Bebe tries to use a love potion on Kyle, but the plan goes wrong when the potion makes him fall for Cartman instead. Good thing Cartman hasn’t been pining for Kyle for eight years or anything crazy like that.
Just when Kyle thought turning up alone to a wedding – that was starting to feel like a college reunion – couldn’t get any worse, it turns out Eric Cartman is invited too. But Eric may just be his saving grace, and Kyle decides to run with his inevitably crazy plan even if he thinks he knows better. But Kyle is a lot smarter than his college friends, he won’t fall for Eric that easily… will he?
Cartman doesn’t do nervous. He’s done plenty of fucking public speaking, public singing, public anything but tonight – tonight, he’s nervous. Maybe it’s because this stupidly means more than any of those other times, even though he wishes to fuck he could deny that. Because he actually cares this time. It isn’t based around some manipulation. Maybe it’s because Stan’s up there right now singing and playing electric guitar to Sweet Child O’ Mine like a lame-o, but he’s actually fucking good and all Cartman’s got is a dumb emo love song and an acoustic and a future bill for rejection.
“Fuck you, whore!” Cartman yells, getting to his feet and stomping over to the other end of the room. “What the fuck are you even doing in my house?”
“What were you doing with Kyle’s tongue in your mouth?” Wendy counters back, and if Stan’s head wasn’t about to explode under the weight of everything going on, he thinks he might have high fived her for that wicked burn.
Kyle Broflovski is tired of his dull, unchanging life. But after he returns from being away from South Park for the summer, things start to spiral out of control, and everything falls apart. Mainly Kyman. Strong language and references to sex.
There’s only one thing you can do when a Jew tries to mess with your mind: play some mind games yourself. After all, all’s fair in love and war. Kyman, slash. Cartman’s POV. Companion fic to Don’t Touch Me.
When Kyle is sick, as per usual, Cartman pays him a visit. He even so much as looks after him, in his own bitter-sweet way. (Fluffy Kyman One-Shot; Rated T for profanities.)
When Cartman does something bad to Kyle, he tries to say sorry – “tries” being the keyword. AKA, How Not To Say Sorry To Your Boyfriend. (Slightly Silly Kyman One-Shot; Rated T for profanities, slightly sexual scenes, and the follies and flatulence of youth.

if I didn’t believe in you, we’d never have gotten this far
A Swan Princess parody. Grand Wizard Prince Eric and High Elf Prince Kyle are roped into an arranged marriage. Honestly, who thought this was a good idea to start with? Eventual Kyman, slight Stenny, and poor Butters is a paladin.
“Goddammit, Jew…” Cartman breathed as he furiously began to work on Kyle’s belt buckle, “Why’d you have to wear a goddamn belt today…?” Kyman. Graphic lemon. Contains whipping, rimming, frottage, dirty talk, masochism, and more.
Stan is self destructing, Craig Tucker might be gay, Butters can’t handle Cartman’s wiener, and Kyle just wants to get out of South Park without losing his mind, his best friend, or his virginity.
Kyle, now 17 and preparing to be a responsible adult, is drowning in the stress of his mundane life. Until Cartman gets an idea. Kyle POV. Heavy swearing and smut later on.
It was moments like these he wondered why he let that Jewish son of a bitch ensnare him like he did. How Kyle could just wrap him around his finger as he rolled onto his back, allowing Cartman full access to his unfastened jeans. Aged Up. Kyman. Smut.
Unable to sleep due to ‘unfortunate circumstances’, Kyle finds solace in the form of Cartman – but as is inevitable with these boys it’s not as simple as a mere sleepover, and Kyle gets more than he’d bargained for. This fanfic is based on the events of the incredible blog ‘Ask The Main Four’ on Tumblr, and is totally canonical to the universe. NSFW Kyman smut, first time and delicious grinding warning.
The card game was enjoyable at first, but it very soon became clear Cartman had much bigger ambitions for is ‘alone time’ with Kyle – despite his parents sleeping in the room down the corridor. Unable to resist, Kyle tries to contain himself and stay quiet… but it’s much easier said than done, especially when the sex is THIS good.
Concerned about the imminent yearbook photographs, Kyle is intent on staying clean of hickeys – much to Cartman’s displeasure. But Eric has never been one to back down from a challenge, and if he can help it the feisty auburn wont stay reluctant for long. Yummy smut with hints of fluff at the end. Kyman One-shot.
After an innocent slip of the tongue, Kyle can’t help but wonder if he’d put their relationship in jeopardy. After a summer of strange behavior and evasiveness from Cartman, Kyle wants answers… but the truth is something he never had expected.
“Because he was mine, and in a way he always had been. He just didn’t know it. Yet.” Your standard love/hate oneshot featuring our favorite frenemies. Established sort-of-relationship, Cartman wants more and Kyle is a tease. Fighting ensues. Super smutty, but maybe there’s more to it than just some porn. Maybe.
At parties, when everyone’s usually too high or drunk to notice or care, two enemies find that the line between love and hate is a very thin one indeed.
At twenty-five, Kyle Broflovski thought he had his life all planned out. He was living in Denver with Stan with a nice apartment and a decent job. Suddenly, his world is turned upside down when Stan breaks up with him and he loses his job all in the span of a few months. Now Kyle is back in South Park, living with his parents, and trying to figure out where he goes from here. Enter Eric Cartman, who always got under Kyle’s skin as a kid, and who was now about to do so again, in more ways than one. (A story about reevaluating yourself and your life. Or, How Kyle Broflovski Got His Groove Back.)
It’s been exactly 24 hours since Kyle was in seven minutes in heaven with Cartman and he hasn’t thought of anything else but the feel of his lips and the press of his body. Sequel to Fake it So Real.
Kyle’s Sunday morning began with an appalling marriage proposal and only got stupider from there. Now he’s on the run from the government, stranded in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and contending with the idea that Eric Cartman might just have a heart to break after all.
Cartman bets he can break his previous bike-jumping record. Kyle bets he cannot. Cartman bets that if he can make said jump, Kyle will have to own-up to his end of their old fourth grade bet, and give him head. Kyle accepts this bet, since he obviously, cannot lose.
Cartman wins and now Kyle, is totally, screwed.
…Only thing Cartman never betted on, however? Finally realizing he’s got actual feelings for Kyle.
Cartman cheats at a bet he’d made with Kyle and when the other refuses to pay him Cartman decides to get creative. Kyle knows not to let Cartman goad him into anything, but in the end his ego wins out and through a series of poor decision making they find themselves stranded in the woods all night, handcuffed together, bruised and battered. They have to work together in order to make it through and the near-death experience forces them to talk in ways they haven’t before. The ordeal sheds new light on their friendship, and Kyle wonders if things will ever be able to go back to the way they used to be, or if he even really wants them to.
There are people in this world that would, upon first glance, have looked at them and called them enemies. A story about Kyle and Cartman, and how a series of events bring them closer together. Kyman.
Cartman has a job interview to attend, and Kyle has worrying about him to do. (Fluffy & Smutty Kyman One-Shot; Rated M for profanities and sexual scenes.)
Cartman got therapy, Kyle has a hard-on, and New Year’s Eve remains a cause for celebratory champagne even if you’re locked in a bathroom with your worst enemy.
Kyle has a problem, and it seems that there’s only one solution to it. Slash, Kyle/Cartman.

I also wanna give a shoutout to these kyman authors, cherryvanilla,shortstackedchessecake96, partipooper, ScribbleSibyl, synapticfirefly, and NocturnalLament for their surplus of quality quantity fics. They’ve written more than what I mentioned on this list, so I highly recommend to read ALL their work regarding Kyman. I suggest to check both their AO3 and FF.net accounts for the full archives of their work.
Might Last a Day, Minus Tomorrow, is something I ALWAYS recommend. I also hear Baby, Now You Do, is pretty engaging. I’ve read a bit of it, kept my interest pretty well despite some of the dialogue being shoddy. It’s good though.
Also, Less Appealing Than Five Thousand Summer Squash is good.
There are a few others, but I can’t remember their names at the moment. Backseat Confessions, I think?
Ehhh, to me it seems like they’re running out of steam. I personally don’t know how many more south park episodes Matt and Trey can make. But I’ll definitely be around for them.
HOPEFULLY we get more of that juicy character development. Tease me with kyman, south park daddies
Whenever I see little cry babies like that trying to utilize logic I just imagine them trying to hold a really hot potato and bouncing around in their hands and getting upset because they don’t actually know how to pick up a hot potato
They’re showing up. Virtue signalling, putting the “bad kymans” down so Mommy-Creek/Style fandom will approve of them. That’s all they’re doing.
And yeah. Making holocaust jokes is so done to death. You have to be particularly clever in order to get an actual laugh out of someone, or else your jokes are just gonna flop. But the torches and pitchforks bullshit is SO hammed up, and only for the purpose of them making themselves look good by trying to make select people look bad.
