✨ happy fanfic writer appreciation day to every single writer in our extremely talented fandom ✨
here’s a very small list of just some of my favourite fics that you should all read and reread again:
rainbow flags and declarations by @mr-and-mr-mitchell
summary: callum's first pride out of the closet goes better than he could have dreamed.
i dare you to let me be your, your one and only by @callumsmitchells
rating: general audiences
summary: eight times ben and callum are ridiculously romantic to each other.
it's a kind of magic by @halfwayinit
summary: a harry potter au with a twist
if you wanna know if he loves you so by @thefancyspin
summary: ben likes a lot about callum, which goes without saying really since the truth is ben’s in love with him.
rhythm and rush by @kay-okays
summary: callum, an injured veteran, wanted to come to Walford to start over. a new place where he could leave it all behind him — the secrets, the lies, the trauma, everything. where he could rebuild his life and start to help others like he always knew he wanted to do. but in group therapy, he meets ben — a broody, sarcastic troublemaker that seemingly everyone in town warns him to stay away from. before he knows it, ben’s crash-landed his way into callum’s life, bringing secrets of his own.
what if this world was the end of the road by @calthighway
summary: ben holds the file in his hands. the name in bold black letters on the front, his next kill, his next victim – callum highway.
half agony, half hope by @yasisworld
rating: general audiences
summary: eight years ago, ben and callum were in love until callum was persuaded to break up with him. now ben is back in town and dating callum’s only friend. they say karma is a bitch.
something new, something true, something endless by @ballumschmallum
summary: its november 2021 and for an autumn's day, the weather seemed to be perfect for a walford wedding. ben and callum finally had everything that they had ever wanted. as they prepare to start this amazing new chapter in their lives together in which their family and friends old and new were coming to walford to witness, all they needed now was to say "i do". what could possibly go wrong?
3AM rush by @oceandawning
summary: callum's just dropped off his girlfriend after saying yes to a club he didn't want to go to, and it's possibly been the worst night he's had all week. well, that's until he hears loud engines, sirens, and then a guy with a bruise on his face threatening to take his car so he can escape the very real cop coming towards them. maybe he shouldn't have said anything.
someone to watch over me by @juguitos
rating: general audiences
summary: it was phil. it should have always been phil. this was phil’s problem and it should have never been up to ben to deal with keanu, but that mentality that was ingrained into his head since he was a child “you protect your family” is what has driven him to do the unimaginable. and now? he’s suffering the consequences of that mantra.
small love by @sunsetsover
summary: the five times someone uses the word ‘love’ + the 1 time ben and callum use it properly.
fire of the heart by @mightbeababygay
rating: general audiences
summary: it’s bonfire night and the five of them are going out, together as a family unit. except, people can’t stop reminding ben not to fuck everything up.
