BLESS THIS POST!
As AO3’s server is currently down for an indefinite amount of time, this means I’ve gotten more time in my hands to add more to my previous Aruani fic rec list as I’ve saved hundreds of them on my e-Book since March (that’s when the last part of AOT drops so Aruani has altered my brain chemistry again). For those who have been unlucky to download their favourite Aruani fics before, hopefully this list will help save your hassles from threading through the haystack the next time. I also took my sweet time to credit the authors properly (using their Tumblr / Twitter url) so if there’s anyone that I’ve missed, appreciate someone adding or tagging them as I’m still new to Tumblr. This post has a limit of 100 links so I’m not able to put out more fics so will continue again soon!
Since I’m reblogging @moonspirit’s post (other amazing and talented Aruani authors @distortedclouds, @annawayne, @nightofthend, @dudewhy3, @lady-shudragon, @popgreens, @brittlebluebell, @mimiwrites2000, @diam-etrical, @novaae, @goneadrift, @marshmallow-rainbow139, @Decoii, @mipisleepy, @niwaaakame, @astralcrow, @Flailingkittylover, @honeyriot and Anonymous are already on her recommendations so check out her list above!), it’s only fair that I’m recommending her Aruani fics first and foremost!
