I've read a lot of Hangster over the last several months and have a particular fondness for fic rec lists, so I thought I'd compile my own favourites. The below includes completed fics only in no specific order, skewing towards post-canon. If you have any recommendations or want your Tumblr linked beside your fic, please let me know!
like, what up, I got a big cock by @sereshaws:
My fav smutfic for Hangster.
Men Like Us by @dancingdisasterisms:
The quintessential exes-to-lovers fic.
we're fools to make war by @baroness-elsa:
Very nuanced take on Jake in all his daddy issues glory.
If you're looking for a hobby by NeverwinterThistle:
Embodies enemies-while-lovers >:)
In Time by little_passions:
Is it weird to say that I loved the dynamic between Jake and Mav in this? Pining Jake was lovely, but I'll always remember Mav's shovel talk lol
peaches and motor oil (a slice of summer sun) by terraces:
A great portrayal of grief, plus a happy ending.
The Exes of Texas Are Upon You by chase_acow:
Fake dating, with a wonderfully villainous ex!
i hate (the way i don't hate) you by @susiecarter:
A slightly different take on Jake, who has a uniquely douchebro internal voice.
learning steps by @vannral:
Outsider POV on Hangster featuring Top Gun instructor Bradley. Cute without being saccharine.
red, white and blue all over by Bartonfink:
So much pining it makes me ache for Jake.
low key in love by iridescent:
Bradley being a mother hen about Jake's lizard circulation made me feel warmer in this godforsaken winter.
jealousy fills up their hearts in pairs by Notchka88:
SMUT SMUT SMUT *bangs table*
higher further faster, baby by lyonet:
Hookups-to-lovers featuring prickly Jake and besotted Bradley. Sweet.
Until the World Ends by greenstuff:
Armageddon AU. Hangster teams up to save the Earth, knowledge of Armageddon not required.
The New Revolution by @brendaonao3:
Jake drives Bradley nuts with his many Texasisms.
