I'm someone who unfortunately, often lets details go unnoticed, so hearing the costume designer for s4 call this el outfit her "will look" just turned a switch in my mind, bc yeah it's pretty clear that eleven dresses herself differently in s4 compared to how she dressed in s3 but OMG, it's not just the clothes it's the hair too, everything about her reminds us of will. This scene with Mike between them it's crazy, it's like he's between the gender bent versions of the same person and now he has a choice to make iykyk....

Best of Dasey: An Essential Fanfiction Reading Guide

I read every single fic in the Dasey tag on AO3, so you don't have to! Instead, here's my guide to the best of the best Dasey fics in the tag.

This guide does not include Derek/Sally/Casey, only Derek/Casey. So, if one is missing that you think should be here, that's probably the reason.

(Note: if a fic has a * at the end, it's a sequel and the first in the series will be above it.

If a fic has ** at the end, it's unfinished, but it's on this list because it is THAT GOOD.)

Best of Casey Goes to New York

this damage you did to me

by theredhoodie | rated E | 12,403 words

It’s been over a year since Casey left her life in Canada and moved to NYC. Derek shows up unannounced at one of her performances wanting to talk about his feelings, while in contrast, Casey’s all about avoiding those feelings.

Who will win this fight, and is there even a fight to win?

Best of Dasey Sharing a Bed

break the silence

by illicitaffair | rated M | 12,368 words

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

"Prove it.”

There was a beat of silence as Casey stared up at Derek in confusion. “What?”

“If you really have your life planned out and you’re sure you wouldn’t have any fun engaging in some teenage rebellion, then prove it,” Derek said. He drew in his bottom lip to bite and Casey inhaled sharply.

alternatively: three times derek and casey share a bed and one time they make out instead.

Your Heart Says Otherwise

by abitofstardust | rated G | 10,023 words

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

"Derek and Casey were doomed to hate each other for eternity, or at least pretend to do so. Falling in love with her stepbrother was never in her plans, and she hated when things escaped her control. Except this. She didn’t hate this. Not one bit."

Or the one where drunk Derek confesses his feelings for Casey.

Best of Dasey Sharing an Apartment

Two-Step

by avocadomoon | rated T+ | 12,467 words

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

Pacing back and forth in her bedroom that night, Casey makes a list of everything she's feeling, which is something her therapist told her to do whenever she feels like throwing something expensive out the window. It reads as follows:

1. ANGRY

2. ANGRY

3. ANGRY

(It goes on like this for a bit longer.)

14. GUILTY

15. SAD

16. HORNY ANGRY

17. LONELY,

- which is where she finally stops. It's only going to get more pathetic from here.

Best of Vacation With Derek Fix-Its

Two Pictures of Chaos

by Shadowfox1119 | rated E | 23,969 words

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

“Yeah, ‘step-sister,’ ‘sister.’ It’s all the same difference, right?”

My take on the before, during, and after the "Vacation with Derek" movie.

-

Best of Derek is Getting Married

then you come crashing in

by thencallitwinter | rated M | 22,349 words

It ends like these things always do: with that one guy who's in love with this other girl and first hearing about it from Edwin of all people. Derek/Casey. Casey/Jesse. Derek/OC. One-Shot.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

-

Best of Derek's Directorial Debut, but make it a POV

How To Play Charades

by youcallitwinter | rated T+ | 1,675

The thing to know about him is; he's always been clueless. Like that movie Casey likes so much. The one in which those step-siblings get together. And it's not as if he's ever wondered whether that was supposed to imply something.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

right in plain sight

by donutcats | rated T+ | 3,661 words

"I'm seconds away from asking myself some weird philosophical question like 'what is inspiration’.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

-

Best of Dasey goes to University

Act II: College Life With Derek

by MoreThanOneInterest | rated T+ | 27,504 words

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

"So let me get this straight? You want to pretend we don't know each other?"

That's the idea, and Derek thinks it's a good one, so he can distract himself from Casey while at college. It works... at first. Until he can't get her out of his head, and it completely backfires on him. Because she starts dating Prince Charming.

T-M Rating. Might go up, might stay down. No one knows (officially).

In Truth (and Otherwise)

by falsettodrop | rated M | 14,230 words

Sometimes she and Derek spoke like this. In little half-sentences, unspoken truths hidden deep within them, too difficult for the average person to find. But they both knew—they knew where to find them, and they knew what they’d find.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

Salomé, as Experienced by Derek Venturi

by APHands | rated T+ | 3,196 words

Derek helps Casey read lines.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

-

Best of Dasey What-Ifs

I Do/I Don't

by retreatingwings | rated T+ | 11,141 words

Derek throws one last house party his senior year of high school. Tispy, he kisses Casey. The next morning, she asks him if it was a drunken mistake, or if he meant it. He imagines the two paths their lives could take from that moment forward: one where he says he didn’t, and one where he says he did.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 stars

Best of Dasey Texting Fics

Llamas and Siblings and Pies, Oh My!

by WakeUpSoon | rated T+ | 3,727 words

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

Edwin: I’ve invited you all here today to talk about the elephant in the room.

Lizzie: why do you keep doing this?

in which edwin has points to make, dasey have some secrets, and family is everything.

Best of Hurt/Comfort

If You Hadn't Gone

by Shommey99 | rated T+ | 14,499 words

⭐⭐⭐⭐🎊 4.5/5 stars

Derek had always been under the impression that once Casey finally left him alone, he’d be at peace.

Until she did.

Universe & U*

by Shommey99 | rated M | 19,124 words

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

Casey knew there was something between them, she wasn’t stupid. She remembered that night at the club so vividly, how she was ready to risk it all if he just asked. But it was him and her, so of course, it was going to be more complicated than that.

Or: A sequel to ‘If You Hadn’t Gone’, from Casey’s point of view.

Nightmares and Daydreams

by chunchun | rated T+ | 20,278 words

Derek's been having nightmares lately. Casey's trying to deal with a different side of him she's never seen before.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

-

Best of Bittersweet Endings

you are my favorite what if

by donutcats | rated T+ | 1,051 words

No one really talks about unhappy ever afters.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

She Wouldn't Be Gone

by Born2Read | rated T+ | 2,979 words

While searching for Casey to right what he broke, Derek reflects on where he went wrong. If he's lucky, maybe it isn't too late to repair the damage.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

Dancing On My Own

by UntoldGalaxies | Rated T+ | 5,525

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

It was like a scene out of a fairy tale. Flowing gowns and romantic music swept the room, and they danced.

And Casey watched.

Best of Dasey Reality TV AUs

Dasey: Love Island**

by kensington_queen | rated E | 13,801 words

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

It's gonna be a long, hot, summer.

The Dasey Love Island AU ;)

Best of Dasey Secret Kid Fics

Serenity

by Born2read | rated T+ | 38,974 words

The child arches her brow. “I didn’t come for an autograph. Hockey is a vile, violent sport.” She sniffs, and Derek’s reminded of…

“Hey, kid, where are your parents?”

“My name is Serenity,” she starts, pausing and eyeing him. Whatever she’s looking for in his expression, she doesn’t find it. “Serenity Venturi.”

Or, the one where Casey keeps the kid hidden from Derek and he finds out... when she shows up on his doorstep.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

-

Best of Battle of the Bands AUs

Shot in the Dark

by Born2Reach | not rated | 29,096 words

Derek finds himself in debt and starts a band. Casey gets involved. Both have grown from their D-Rock days, and maybe they'll learn to get along. Or, more likely, they'll bicker and fight and deny any type of friendship. Either way, they're determined to win the Battle of the Bands.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars

Best of Dasey Slowburns with Divorce

✨Best of the Best | God Tier Dasey Fics✨

Turn to Stone

by Shommey99 | rated T+ | 12,907 words

How well do you really know the people closest to you? Can you help them see reason before it’s too late? Basically, this is The Derek and Casey Show. From the point of view of everyone who’s not, well, Derek and Casey.

✨⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ 10/5 stars

The Last Time*

by Shommey99 | rated M | 26,920 words

Eight years in the lives of Casey and Derek. Including denial, longing, fights, and what really happened in Cancun (twice).

✨⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ 10/5 stars

A Thousand Years Go By (Love Don't Die)

by WakeUpSoon | rated T+ | 7,714 words

✨⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ 10/5 stars

Dear Casey, the letter reads, Blah blah blah there’s some ghosts and shit. You guys wanna come see? Xoxo

They’ve been doing this a long time, but it’s not often they get a chance to help an old friend in need rather than a stranger.

Or, the one where the McTuri Siblings have a long-running paranormal investigation show on Netflix, and Sam gets a haunted house.

This is Life With Derek**

by justcallmedaisy | rated M | 124,619 words

After the announcement of Casey and Derek going to the same university and their "same difference" conversation in the kitchen, the reality sets in for both of them that they are in fact setting forth on this new chapter of their lives together. Both have to work through their ffff-feelings about it and about... each other?

✨⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ 10/5 stars

Defining Life**

by APHands | rated E | 15,994 words

✨⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ 10/5 stars

Casey McDonald was ambitious, to say the least. She had every moment and aspect of her education, career, and life planned out before she even entered high school.

And then, instead, her mom married George.

Ripple Effect

by abitofstardust | rated T+ | 5,820 words

synopsis: When Marti has to go to the hospital, Casey is faced with the task of comforting Derek. But maybe she's the one in need of comfort.

✨⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ 10/5 stars

even if it's a lie

by anniebibannie | rated M | 14,685 words

Casey hadn’t known when she started the stupid, little game it would spiral out of control into… whatever this was turning into. It had been harmless, mostly. But whatever was happening between her and Derek now? Decidedly not harmless.

✨⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ 10/5 stars

Changing on the Fly

by cacnophonous_noise | rated E | 48,005 words

But on that victory lap he finds himself wishing it was still high school, cause when he looks up into the stands, among the thousands of faces, there is one he never sees.

✨⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ 10/5 stars

A Kind of Merry War

by blithers | rated E | 37,167 words

Three games that Derek and Casey played.

✨⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ 10/5 stars

Do you have any fics you recommend off the top of your head? Sorry if you’ve answered this already

Who seems combative, but who is actually just brimming with life.

please send me fics that have "marriage law" or "pureblood traditions" but who instead of them being forced together, Draco chooses Hermione because "Malfoys deserve the best" ~ Brazilian here

I Choose YouI Choose You - melanoradrood - E, 5 chapters - At the end of Fifth Year, Hermione finds out why It is that none have approached her with a Marital Contract, the only way she can remain in the Wizarding World after Graduation. It has already been signed by her Magical Guardian, someone she has never met - she is to be the next Lady Malfoy. A year and a half later, she is a married witch, but still, Draco Malfoy, who had chosen her above all others, had not spoken of it. In fact, they barely spoke at all. And when trouble heads their way, Hermione means to change that. Really, she means to change a lot of things.

Priceless: Diamonds by KristieConspiracy - T, 21 chapters - “I want that one.” Draco was only 8 years old when he picked Hermione. He should have known it wouldn’t be that easy. Book 1 of the ‘Priceless’ series, sequel is 'Snakeskin’. AU (marriage law, modern wizarding world c. 1990) but following canon, Dramione.

The Alkahest By: Shadukiam - M, WIP - The Marriage Law, once enacted, has the power to destroy Hermione’s perfectly normal life. Luckily, she and Ron are already planning to obey the horrific law together as a team… Until a Malfoy-shaped wrench gets thrown into the works. Dramione. Cover by littleneko1923 (thank you!).

Title: Lost Images Author: EvilGu Rating: M Genre(s): Romance/Humour/Mystery/Drama Chapters: 51 Word Count: 226,022 Summary: Epilogue up! MARRIAGE LAW Hermione must marry Draco Malfoy- the only wizard that (begrudgingly) petitioned for her who is not actively trying to kill her. If only there was some loop-hole… Can the unlikely pair survive marriage, in-laws, ghosts, murderous enemies, and their own traitorous feelings?

Title: Draft of Living Death Author: Maloreiy Rating: M Genre(s): Tragedy, Angst Chapters: 1 Word Count: 11,262 Summary: The Malfoy family is not pleased with the announcement of a Marriage Law, but they are determined to get the best out of it, of course. And the best is clearly Hermione Granger. Hermione, however, would rather die. (Overall Winner of the ‘Something Worth Fighting For’ competition and also winner of Best Angst, Best Dark, Judges’ Favorite, and Fan Favorite.) 

Revenge Is All The Sweeter by Twilight to Midnight - M, 24 Chapters - A marriage law has come to pass; an unfaithful boyfriend has been caught and an enemy has been chosen. Draco and Hermione discover the fine line between love and hate. Won 2nd place at the Dramione awards for best Draco and best action/adventure!

The Beginning of Everything by RiverWriter - M, 15 Chapters - Draco extracted a box from his pocket and flipped it open to reveal the most exquisite ring Hermione had ever seen. She gasped. “No Granger, I meant I literally have a proposal for you,” he held her gaze as he spoke. “What do you say? Marry me and help me put one over on the Ministry. I know you’re dying to stick it to them.” This is a fic which is ostensibly about a marriage law.

Thanks for your work. Do you know any fic where Hermione says Harry’s words to Tom:

„You’re the weak one. You’ll never feel love or friendship. And I feel sorry for you.“?

Hey Anon, I don’t actually recall a fic where Hermione says this. Maybe one of our followers does? But funnily enough I’m reading one where Harry just said it, or Tom is remembering Harry saying it. -JD

[tomionefinds]

First off, I want to thank you guys for all the hard work and effort you do to run this blog. I’ve discovered so many great fics because of it! I’m hoping you can help me with an older fic from about 10 ish years ago: the main thing I remember is toward the end when they were in the graduation ceremony, Hermione goes up to Dumbledore (I think) in front of the whole school, and he hands her something and says something that makes her realize he’s sending her back to her time in that moment, and she starts reacting. Tom sees something isn’t right and starts walking up to them, but right before he reaches her, she disappears and returns to the present. I don’t think Tom was aware she was a time traveler. Any help is appreciated!

Hey Anon,

Hrm. I'm not entirely sure I have the right fic here. It sounds a little like Carpe Diem but it definitely doesn't happen in a graduation ceremony/Hogwarts in that fic. So maybe I'm thinking of a different one. It seems vaguely familiar but I'm blanking.

If it isn't this one, then maybe a follower know it. -JD

Carpe Diem by Bertie Bott

The future is explained through the past and everything happens for a reason. Hermione becomes an active part of the history she studies so diligently in class. A dream come true, right? Nothing is as it seems...

sylki fic recs (forewarning, these all have smut oops) for @phantasmicfish and everyone else on this website that has good taste:

• One Last Game by love_all_the_fandoms

• as falls the end by neonhearbeat

• ever so greedy by anonymous

that’s all i’ve read so far, lol. but to make sure i comb through all the fics, what i do is type loki/sylvie in the search bar and then click on all the tags i see and go through them. there are a few different ones, and ao3 doesn’t have a designated sylki tag yet, so it kinda sucks. some fics are tagged loki/sylvie and some are loki/sylvie laufeydottir.
