Fanfic Author Appreciation

I know, I know.

I’m late on the bus as usual, but this time it’s not my job/ADHD. I was gone for the weekend! 

Look, I read a lot of fic. I mean, a lot of fic. And there’s no way I’m passing up a moment to acknowledge fellow writers and the absolute delight their stories have given me without any compensation. 

So here we go. I’ve separated them by fandom. This is stuff that I’ve been reading currently and also favorites I keep returning to.

Let me know if someone has a tumblr I missed. 

Star Wars Fandom:

Author Handle: Cognomen

AO3 | Tumblr

Story Highlight: Endymion and I (Stormpilot, WIP)

Notes: It’s Stormpilot, but with werewolves and farming?? What is there NOT for me to love. Please read it, oh my god. It’s a delight. The author has a wonderful, straight forward style, and you can tell how much research they do, because everything always feels so grounded and tangible.

Author Handle: Veeo17

AO3

Story Highlight: Sun Kissed (Obikin, WIP)

Notes: I absolutely love this writers style. The coherency and flow just feel so natural. Plus the idea of Obi-Wan having lived on Bandomeer and not becoming a Jedi AU is something I can jam with, a lot. 

Author Handle: SinkingLikeASunset

AO3

Story Highlight: I’ll Be There For You (Obikin, WIP)

Notes: I’m a sucker for fix-it fics. This is just a fact, and I really like Sent Back In Time trope, especially as it’s paired with Obi-Wan. The man full of regrets and hindsight? I am there for this. 

Author Handle:  SkywalkerShenanigans (HedgehogJawn)

AO3

Story Highlight: The Consequences of a Crash (Obikin, WIP)

Notes: Oh my god, I love this piece? One of my weaknesses is injured Obi-Wan, add in Anakin having to try and keep him alive/take care of him, and I am sold. The writing is so solid, and I love the style. 

Author Handle:  randomalia (spilinski)

AO3

Story Highlight: Currents (QuiObi, Complete)

Notes: This is hands down one of my favorite QuiObi fics, tbh. I absolutely adore the atmosphere of it, the flow, everything. It’s such solid writing. Plus I really freaking love when the Qui-Gon lives trope allows Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon some time on their own. The pining gives me LIFE. 

Author Handle: victoriousscarf

AO3 | Tumblr 

Story Highlight: Who Needs Me to Screw it up for You When You do so Well on Your Own (Codywan, WIP)

Notes: I really frick fracking love this fic? The setting is wonderful, all the characters are written so delightfully, and I really adore the interactions of Obi-Wan and Cody here. The dialog is GREAT and I’ve actually laughed loud enough to scare my cats. 

Author Handle: bell (bellaboo)

AO3 

Story Highlight: Seed (Obikin, WIP)

Notes: First time I saw this fic, I thought “sounds like fun crack fic” but let me tell you, I absolutely adore this story. It’s still really funny (in an absurd way) but the character dynamic is so damn good, and the plot is actually fun. I’m always waiting to see what’s around the next chapter. It’s funny AND serious.  

Author Handle: Limpet666

AO3 | Tumblr

Story Highlight: Practice (Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan/Anakin/Dooku, complete)

Notes: This has been filed under things I never knew I wanted. The author has clearly thought about this relationship dynamic extensively and I thoroughly enjoy all the aspects of the poly. It’s absolutely entertaining and a delight, lemme tell you. 

Author Handle: bloodonyrsundress

AO3 | Tumblr

Story Highlight: ghost coast (Obikin, WIP)

Notes: I am ABSOLUTELY adoring this piece. The idea of Anakin as a Necromancer and Obi-Wan as a sorce- wait, excuse me, Craftsmen, is so charming. Plus there’s a good solid plot in it. I definitely recommend it. 

Star Trek Fandom:

Author Handle: thehoyden

AO3 | Tumblr 

Story Highlight: Letters from the Northern Continent (Garashir, Complete)

Notes: Oh my god, OH MY GOD. I have read this story so many damn times. I love it so so much. The letter trope is one of my favorites and I love how it’s used here. All the unspoken and read between the lines. It’s so damn good, please read it. 

X-men Fandom:

Author Handle: Caradee

AO3

Story Highlight: Supernatural and the Scientist (Cherik, Complete)

Notes: I love werewolves, this is obvious. I really honestly love the set up of this fic. It mirrors the series theme but in a different way. It’s a fun ride from start to finish.

Author Handle: Clocks

AO3

Story Highlight: Our House, In The Middle Of Our Street (Cherik, Complete)

Notes: Patch work families? Two people having to awkwardly parent together? ADOPTED FAMILIES? What is there not to love, okay. This fic is so much damn fun and I loved it from start to finish. 

Hannibal Fandom:

Author Handle: KrisyWest

AO3

Story Highlight: For All That I Could See, I Could Not See You (Hannigram, Incomplete)

Notes: I was always a bit sad I never got to see the end of this fic, but I still re-read it time to time. I really liked the change of angle, with Clarice being  present to try and find Will. Watching the dynamic slowly change between Hannibal and Will while they’re working their way in Europe was always really fun.

Author Handle: chimosa

AO3

Story Highlight: Built to last (Hannigram, Complete)

Notes: This author has such a dynamic and engaging style. I’ve read this short piece so many times, and I still love it. There’s just something pulling about the dynamic of Will and Hannibal during Hannibal’s incarceration. 

Author Handle: t_pock

AO3

Story Highlight: Wolf and I (Hannigram, Complete)

Notes: hoooo, lemme tell you, I love this fic so much. I love the mirroring scenes and motifs scattered in this piece. The set up is great. Plus I love love love when dynamics and characters angled with a feral/beast persona. And the chase through the woods??? um, yes please.

Author Handle: Annibal

AO3 | Tumblr

Story Highlight: Missing Text (Brownham, Complete)

Notes: I love domestic Brownham like no other. It’s my crack. I just, oh my god. And this piece is so solid and wonderful. Annibal has always been one of my favorite Brownham writers (we are so few) and they deliver on the domestic dynamic so damn well. 

Thank you all for such wonderful stories! Everyone, please go tell your favorite authors you appreciate them. They all need to hear it.

[bloodisinthewater]

Do you take prompts? Can you write an amnesia Brownham story? I am fine with ABO and I would like it as trope-y as possible ~

I do take prompts, and I would love to write that! This is an amazing request, I will start on it right away (:

[pockyghost]

A gift to @bloodisinthewater for the @hannigramholidayexchange. I hope you have had a happy holiday season!

The fic below was also posted to AO3 :)

“Hey babe, hey…” Will gentled his voice, and pulled his boyfriend into his arms. “You know there’s nothing between me and Hannibal. I don’t know why you get like this, and it’s kind of insulting that you think I would cheat on you. I know a good thing when I have it.”

Matthew was still angry though his fire was quickly being cooled by Will’s snuggling. Matthew knew he was a jealous type, and he knew it wasn’t fair to the one he was dating, but he had warned Will about it before they got into a relationship and his now boyfriend said that it wasn’t a big issue. The only reason he could think of for Will to be so defensive was if something really was going on with him and Hannibal. “I know he’s your adviser and that you’re both really interested in the Chesapeake Ripper, but I don’t see why you have to spend as much time together as you have been. Just last month you barely saw him, and now you’re meeting with him every few days.”

Will could tell how seriously this hurt Matthew, and resolved to change his current back-up lie. He had thought that meeting with his thesis adviser would be the least suspicious, but obviously this was the wrong way to go. Beverly was a safe neutral, Matt couldn’t possibly think he, as absolutely gay as he is, could cheat on him with Bev, as absolutely lesbian as she is. “You’re right, maybe I got a bit caught up in the Ripper, I promise I’ll discuss it with you more and leave only the really important bits for Hannibal. I can even just email him for a while, if that would make this better?”

Matthew mostly felt relieved by his boyfriend’s concessions, but there was still a small niggling doubt in his mind. “It would, thank you,” he said, and turned in Will’s arms to give him a kiss. He knew Will was trustworthy, he could get over this.

*****

“Any plans tomorrow?” Matthew asked, but he already knew what Will was going to say. This time, he was going to follow him. If Will was going to cheat, he damned well deserved to find out any way he chose. It wasn’t paranoia if it was probable.

“Just some Christmas shopping with Bev, nothing big. What about you?”

“I’m spending the day with my parents,” Matthew lied, using the first thing that came to mind. Will gave him an odd look but didn’t say anything, and Matt figured that he didn’t have the nerve to call out a lie in case his own was discovered. The bastard.

Matthew followed Will, always a few cars away, until he stopped at a familiar coffee shop. Matthew parked a block down, confused. Surely Will wasn’t so stupid that he thought he could have an affair in the shop right next to the Brown family bookstore. Something was up.

Matt didn’t walk into the coffee shop, but when he walked by he got a good look at his dad and Will at a table in the back. He nearly laughed in relief after he had passed fully by. Will was such an idiot– an idiot who loved surprises. On the drive back home, Matt wondered about what he could be planning. Any of the scenarios he could think of wouldn’t need his father involved, but he could be patient.

He did laugh when he realized why Will had given him a look after his plans for the day, his boyfriend clearly thought he had been caught out, and he had.

*****

On Christmas Eve, Matthew picked up his present for Will. It was an ugly old mutt of a dog, but those were Will’s favorite and he had asked that the animal be groomed before he brought it home. Will was ecstatic when he got home.

“What’s her name?” Will asked as he was covered in doggy kisses. There was just something about him that dogs loved instantly.

“Simba.”

Will suggested that they walked the pack before dinner and gifts that wouldn’t die if wrapped in a box. They budded up in several layers, put boots on the dog’s paws and sweaters on those with thinner fur.

They walked down the road and looked at everyone’s lights, Mr. And Mrs. Kelley had gone all out again with their Nightmare Before Christmas theme. Simba barked at the billowing body of Zero, and then the whole pack started up. They laughed until the dogs stopped, which wasn’t until three houses down. At the end of the street Will paused.

“Hey Matty, could you close your eyes?” Will took the leashes from his arm and Matthew complied. This had to be the surprise he’s been waiting for. Will took his hand and guided him to the left of their street, towards the forest. He could hear other sets of feet crunching through the undisturbed snow and smiled.

“Okay, open them,” Will said. When he did, there had to be nearly a hundred fairy lights hanging from the snow covered branches around them.

“Oh my god,” the phrase slipped out of his mouth. He turned to Will, only to find him on one knee. “Oh my god.”

“Matthew, you make me the happiest man in the whole world. Every morning I wake up to you is a blessing and every night I fall asleep next to you is a gift. You know I’m not good with big declarations, but if we could keep doing everything we have been for these past two years for forever, well, I can’t imagine anything more perfect. Will you marry me?” Will looked so hopeful, as if the idiot didn’t know Matthew was going to say yes, yes, yes–

“Oh my god yes, yes!” Matthew was giddy, all champagne bubbles on the inside. He grabbed Will by the shoulders to pull him up and before he could start kissing that perfect mouth that had just proposed marriage, Will pulled out a huge bundle of mistletoe.

“You idiot,” Matthew growled out, he could hear several friends and family members cheering behind him, as he hugged his boyfriend close and sealed their new commitment with a kiss.

Hello dear, this is you're secret Santa from the hannigram holiday gift exchange. I was wondering if you were open to a gift specific to the season? And if so, which, if any, of the upcoming holidays would you appreciate seeing Will and Matthew celebrate? ~Best wishes!
