Fic rec index

For easy access*, I know I haven't got all of the lists I've ever made and there's a few more posts with recs floating around this blog... somewhere...

Alex Rider-specific: 1 2 3 4 AR ship week 4 Yassens a list of some favorite fics

Miscellaneous: comfort reads fics I reread over and over

I haven't made posts for them but I've got enough orig fic, Check Please** fic, and fic for other canons that's readable canon-blind in my bookmarks that I probably could, so if anyone wants recs for any of these send in an ask! (I feel a bit presumptuous making them unprompted as I'm mostly lurking these days.)

*and also because it feels a bit weird to have a pinned post for a fandom I haven't really been involved with for over a year

**almost exclusively Kent-centric/jackparse

I need tiktokers to understand that ao3 has been home for the freaks (affectionate) ever since the day it was created. the entire site was created because “dark and fucked up fics” were banned and removed from other platforms, so us freaks came together and created a site for other freaks — a site where nothing is censored, a site with no algorithm, no capitalism, no ads, and again, absolutely no censorship.

this has been our house for decades. you newbies don’t come into our house and tell us how to arrange our furniture. either be nice and respect our house, or leave and build your own house elsewhere.

if you use ao3 but don't know much about its history, there's a great article for that!
