I love your work! Any fics by other writers you recommend?
Thank you, Anon! I appreciate your kindness as well as the question.
I will admit that I don’t read as much now that I’ve started writing. But here are a few of my favorites:
1- @makeitastrength adina_rachelle
She’s my absolute favorite. It was because of her writing that I started reading fanfiction. Prior to ever reading any fanfiction, I made an incorrect and ignorant assumption that fanfiction would be poor quality, and her work is anything but. She particularly loves to write the missing scenes/in between moments. Her grammar is perfect. She writes very in character scenes that you can totally see play out in your mind.
She’s written a lot of great AU. Her plot lines are well planned out and intricate. Her descriptions are beautiful. “Let’s Get Together” she recently finished, and it’s soooo much better than Parent Trap movies.
She would be considered the queen of the Chenford fanfiction kingdom. She needs no further introduction.
It was her work that convinced me to start reading AU. This is my absolute favorite story of hers.
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the
Organization for Transformative Works
They have several good stories and a series of in between moments that are great.
Their “Darling, Let’s Run” is one of my favorite AU stories.
She has a few AUs that are great. “Someday” is my favorite of hers.
“After The Tone” is one I’ve read at least three times. So good!
9- @centralperkchenford naimsagram
She has a CONSTANT flow of stories that I can barely keep up with to feed the fandom.
She did a long series of in between moments that was amazing.
“Plus One” is hilarious and a great read.
“Christmas With The Bradfords” is my favorite.
You can *feel* what they write. Amazing. Very poetic and verbose.
15 - @thisnightissparkling089
I’ve recently started reading her works. She has a story she’s recently started about infertility that’s very heartfelt. You can really feel the emotions of the characters.
Several great stories to choose from.
“With This Ring” is a great one, but they have several great stories.
I’m super behind on my reading on this one, but her “Little Bit of Love” is amazing.
They have a story called “Omne Malum ab Homine” that is like watching an intense The Rookie movie. I hope they come back to finish it soon.
“Where Our Hearts Meet” is an amazing soulmate AU. I was skeptical about soulmate AUs until I read this. So good!
Well, Anon, that was probably more than you wanted from your simple question. But if you read my stories, you know I’m a bit long-winded. 😬🤫 So perhaps this is what you expected all along. 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks for question. Perhaps it will help someone else find a new story or writer they love. This list is definitely not complete. There are a lot of other writers out there that are great.
Feel free to browse my bookmarks on AO3 if you’d like some more recommendations. That’s how I found a lot of my favorite writers and stories.
