My friend Rune suggested I start a fic rec list since I've read the ENTIRE catalogue of mobreimob fics on ao3 several times over, (Yes, actually) so here you guys go! This is my personal taste and opinion. I love everything this fandom puts out, but here are just a few I wholeheartedly suggest! Of course, read the tags! Dont go just off my recs if you have preferences :> most will be reimob 1428, but not all.
"But it does no damn good" by Quiveringpalm
Obviously this is first on my list of recs if you've heard me talk ever. The pacing is so fluid and the dialogue is clever, in character, and so, so sad. I love how they're portrayed here. Please give it a read!! please!! 1428
"Nyctophobia" by Sarah_the_writer
I have trouble describing this fic, since it's so unique, but I ADORE it. Takes the "Reigen should adopt Mob" joke and replaces their meet-cute with that, which is messy and so so so delicious. 1125
"Dark licorice" by Meow Cats Reader
Not a typical reimob fic—the ending is like a cold splash of water to the face for both the reader and Reigen himself. Really, really well done and scratches the angsty itch in my brain. 1428
"Star-crossed" by Ha11ucigenia
Really fucking cute. Another personal favorite for when I need something soft. The last few sequences always make me kick my feet excitedly. 1529(?)
"Just add some friction" by quiveringpalm
Peak. Classic for a reason. Smut is always well written in this house and the buildup is fun. I looove reading their banter. 1529
"The Lady Doth Protest Too Much" by Honeypotluck
Mob in this fic is fucking hilarious. I come back to reread this every other day atp the progression of it is so FUN. Reigen puts up with a lot for his own reasons, the freak. 1630
"Muscle Memory" by goretier
I love this fic so fucking much guys. Gob is the cutest thing ever I need more of her and An is always a genius. Reigen is so funny to read in this fic and the payoff is so goood. Also please read An's whole catalogue, they're a huge influence for me. Bodyswap curse 1428 with fem Mob
"Train Tracks" by Meowcatsreader
This one stirs something fierce in me. I love the idea of following Reigen after his train loop situation, but the internal workings of his mind in this fic make me emotional. So, so good. 1428
"Aftereffects" by rednevaloen
So many stocking fills! Oh, how I miss mobstocking. This one is simultaneously emotional and hot idk how they do it. The tension is so thick, it's genuinely stressful to read at the start. I adore their portrayal of fem Reigen. Genderswap 1428
"Beget me, breed me, love me" by mobusaikone99
Hoooly shit. Some of the most satisfying lines I've ever read dude got me reading this with my head in my hands everytime. 1832 Reimob, but mobrei bait!
"Blood Worth Bottling" by splendidparrot
Vampire x Incubus AU (not a spoiler, it's in the tags) ohhhhh this shit is so GOOD. Sweet and sad and stressful then really hot um. Love it. 1428 I believe? Ages are vague
"The brain, within its groove" by splendidparrot
Reigen is a budding hypnotist and decides to help Mob out with school and ooooh my God this fic is so yummy. First time I read it I had to finish it in one sitting or I'd freak out. 1933
"His Words" by Meowcatsreader
I need to ask Meow if they ever plan on continuing this, but oh my God. Soulmates AU that spans both characters lives it's so fucking good I need more before I explode. Starts at 1024.
"Untitled" by tentacleboye
This one hits very close to home for me. Reigens self hatred and internalized homophobia here is so realistic it makes me hollow, but the ending is so satisfying I love rereading it everytime. Uhhh all ages? Spans their life together.
"Itching to Give you the World" by HoneyPotLuck
Trans Mob is fucking adorable here, if a bit naively creepy. I love how much Reigen teeters the lines of what's appropriate and steers straight into "freak" territory with a little pushing. So fucking good. 1428 I believe?
"Causeway" by Splendidparrot
When I say I'm obsessed with this fic I mean it. I'm not sure if they plan on continuing this fic, so I'm sorry if I set you up to wail and cry by the end of it like me, but its worth the heartbreak. Reimob vacations are always cute, and I like seeing them interact with all the side characters too. So cute. 2034
These are just some personal recs!! I have about 12 pages of bookmarks in just reimob, and I'm always adding more. Show these creators lots of love please 🩷 fic authors deserve the world!
