So @uniquedeerwitch asked for Viktor fic recs!:) And I thought that we as the Viktor x Reader fandom don't have kind of a post abt where the fuck to start for people new to our corner of the fandom. So I just had to do it<3
I made this fic rec list, in case someone new to the fandom wants to read stuff with Viktor:)
Italicized works means there's smut. Boldened Works they're finished.
Tagging the authors too in case you wanna click on their profiles and see their works for yourself. because they have more works on their masterlists too<3 if some author does not want to be tagged here, just let me know and I'll fix it!
Also I might have forgotten other important works, please don't hesitate to send in an ask if you think something should be here and it's not, Anon is on!
If you liked something don't forget to let the authors know by adding a comment and reblogging their work<3 If anyone just leaves a like and goes, on any of this fics, know that I am going to draw dicks on their face while they sleep!:)
List under a read more
Undercity Development Section and its continuation, The Undying Oath. The first part is very much sexual tension and banter and all that good stuff. The Undying Oath is… Yeah you're gonna need tissues. Guilt, grief, escapism from reality, AND LORE. Amazing worldbuilding and the dialogues are excellent. By @mischievous-piltovan !
Everything by @inkinflux is mwah chef's kiss. My personal favorites they wrote for Viktor are Where it hurts, Made for you, The real thing, A Logical Progression , and especially A Single Slow Desire, Fermenting. This last one explores themes such as loneliness, both while you don't have friends and while you have them. It explores things like wanting what other people have and it especially explores human connections, and how genuine human connections can really save us.
@gaybybirth writes amazing Viktor fics! My personal favorite is Every Lover is a Madman. It was in fact the piece that introduced me to the fandom when I read it on AO3. Also A Theory is very beloved by the whole fandom, honestly. His majesty the king destroyed me too! I love it! Academy Excellence is also SO GOOD. But please I encourage you to check her whole masterlist!
From @nokwisi I especially love The necessary energy, this piece with sex toys, Waking Dreams, Turmoil and Whatever it takes. They've been on hiatus for some months now, though:(
OOF from my friend @fly-like-egyptian-musk THERE'S MANY THINGS TO HIGHLIGHT. BUT I love love love Afternoon Delight, The ties that bind, Moje milé kotě and Written in the stars<3 HER WORLDBUILDING IS SO UNIQUE BUT SOFT. It's not convolluted and author has a talent to describe emotion AND PACE. ALSO THEIR KINKY STUFF IS AMAZING. MWAH. MWAH. Also author is an amazing person AND very hot<3
From @valaruakars I'll recommend Temperance A LOT. BUT ALSO. Let's Get Physical my beloved, buff Reader my beloved, Jayce and his Naruto shirt my beloved. Also there's themes such as loneliness but also making friends, how first impressions matter and how one must break away from them sometimes. Good stuff. Also Rio:) Send Nudes is also beloved, as well as Good Intent and this work about Viktor stealing panties. Good soup excellent soup immaculate soup.
Let's go with @thedreamlessnights (HI JAMS). Starting with I've found hope in a heart attack, Not an end, but the start of all things. Shelter me, my love, and I will shelter you and I've drank the wine of ages. Also Stay is really sweet. Great writer, excellent person<3 Their writing feels cozy, tender, and steamy when it needs to be. Much of their writing still resonates with me. A LOT.
@wincestisasincest made one of my favorite fanfics of the whole fandom. This fic should be Arcane Fandom Heritage, period. Waves on the shore is amazing, GREAT. IT INCLUDES LORE, VIKTOR BEING A AN ASSHOLE AND DISTRUSTING BUT IT'S SO GOOD. WOTS READER, PENNY, IS AN ENTITY OF CHAOS AND I RELATE. Love WOTS so much I'd die for WOTS any day. OH ALSO HER MAD MAX AU MWAH. MWAH. KISSING THIS AU GOODNIGHT (platonically smooching Wince's cheek too).
From beloved @dicax-asina I recommend a lot of stuff. But from the Viktor stuff hnnng everything is good. I haven't had the pleasure of reading Convergence because right now many things are consuming my time, I want to read it completely and savor it how it deserves though. Reflections is also a beloved fic, AND I LOVE FUZE AND FRICTION SO MUCH. SO, SO, SO MUCH. ALSO. Honey, I laugh when it sinks in (A pillar I am, upright) IS SUCH A GOOD FIC. MWAH MWAH.
These fics from @chickenparm are so important to my mental health. I cannot explain how much. Not Yet is my personal favorite, because yeah there's tragedy but what matters the most is that there is love. This work still resonates a lot with me. I love Just Once because who tf doesn't love catgirls, seriously. Going Up absolutely destroyed me in the best way. Without Question is beloved to me, the pining is real<3 Last but not least Viktor's Extreme Couponing is such an underrated piece, I assure you it will give you all instant serotonin. ALSO HOW COULD I FORGET GRAVE ERROR. AMAZING.
From @astudyincontrast I also recommend a lot of their pieces, BUT I'm in love with Artist AU, Bury me not on the lone praire (AMAZING WESTERN AU, CANNOT RECC IT ENOUGH), this Jealous Viktor piece and INCUBUS VIKTOR MY BELOVED. Thank u for giving us masterpieces study<3
From @aerynwrites (hi friend<3) I also recommend lots of her stuff. Arrangement is the one that made me follow her<3 Multitudes is soulmate AU with a twist I love. Weekend Away is such a good piece that is so well-thought, and Viktor's mom is the best tbh. Hate me to love me is an emotional rollercoaster that destroyed me in the best way. But also I'M IN SWEET LOVE WITH HIRAETH AAAAAA. HIRAETH IS SO GOOD I CANNOT- YEAH I DON'T EVEN HAVE WORDS.
@storiumemporium has good Viktor fics too<3 My favs are In Servitude, Waves and Milk and Vinegar.
@daphnedirose wrote the amazing fic Yours to tame, and Enchanted to Meet You destroyed me emotionally. Beneath the Marble is also a MUST!
The Monster I refuse to be by @zaunitearchives IS SO SO GOOD. Just a Peek is very good too<3 Lives rent free in my mind tbh. Below the surface is one of my favorites, and I cannot reccommend it enough:3 Why are you hard? is equal parts hilarious and spicy, and the dynamic IS SO GOOD. Egg Hunt is MWAH. DELICIOUS, TASTY. SCRUMPTIOUS. MACHINE HERALD VIKTOR BELOVED
@doritwo (hi bb!!!) has a list of delicious drabbles on their masterlist, but in specific I reccommend Oh, let the world come at you love and the spicy ending No Regrets. ALSO THIS MASTERPIECE THAT'S IN THEIR PROMPTS.
ETA: I KNEW I WAS FORGETTING SOMETHING. The silence between us by @thehistoriangirl destroyed me emotionally, I feel victimized AND YOU SHOULD JOIN ME IN THE PAIN NOW. But it has a happier continuation:) called The Memories we kept within (this is Machine Herald hurt/comfort MWAH BEAUTIFUL). ALSO THIS SMUT THAT WAS WRITTEN BY A GODDESS HERSELF. Nothing I write will ever come close to that line Viktor says about treasuring the Reader (you'll know it when you read it).
Battery Acid Blood is MWAH. @house-of-thorne is both a genius AND has a galaxy brain<3 A hypothesis for your thoughts by @mysticmousecat is one of my favorites too, and I highly reccommend it! The payoff for everything is so good! The sun also rises by @crsjunkyard is so sweet and full of fluff, the characters are so well written and I assure you that if you haven't read it, you're gonna LOVE THIS. Also High Noon Viktor fic (found at https://at.tumblr.com/arcade-writing/high-noon/ymk4pu9jvp9d) (because apparently I reached the 100 link limit) by @arcade-writing
Adding Late Fees and For Your Pleasure by @sweatandwoe. This last one still lives rent free on my mind<3 Machine Herald Viktor hnnng yes
Also Signed, Viktor and I miss the summertime by @buttermynutter
ANOTHER ETA: My idiot brain forgot If you knew what the bluebirds sing by @doctorho , I haven't had the pleasure to read it but I want to make time<3 I have heard nothing but praises for this fic. Oof we also have this absolutely heartbreaking work by @thephantomtheory that I recommend a lot! It will make you cry. Please read it.
Aren't we glorious series by viveriveniversumvivusvici55 is AMAZING. It will make you all cry. Love is a Chemical Reaction by Jynxar is so good! Reminders by cyan_skulls IS SO GOOD TOO. Machine Herald Viktor smut at its best.
I will probably add more works because my brain forgets stuff, but know that there are many, many, MANY other good fics of Viktor out there.
