(With all fics I recommend, I encourage you to read the description and warnings.)
Breathing by stratumgermanitivum
36K words. An angsty, slow-burn, friends to lovers fanfic. I like this fic because of how realistic it is. Neither boy is OOC. Best line: “But you know what, there’s plenty of people who believe in a God who’d accept him just the way he is. Scars and all. So you and your God can fuck off.”
The No Strings series By Slythaheart
19 parts ranging from 1k to 12.5k words. My favorite glee fanfiction ever. Slythaheart is probably the best smythofsky writer out there and this series? *chef’s kiss*. A fun, smutty, somewhat slow-burn series with a wonderful ending! Best line: "I'm so happy right now."
Conventionality Belongs to Yesterday by Slythaheart
34k words. Fun! this fic is just too fun. It is a Grease rewrite but with our boys as Rizzo and Kenickie as opposed to Danny and Sandy. If you’re in the mood for a fun lighthearted read, try it out! Best line: "Well, I'll give you seventy-five cents for the whole car, including your twink!"
****So fanfiction.net is a little rough but I swear some of the best Smythofsky fics are there******
Everything Just Happens by scarleteyes21
54k words. ANGST!! This is full of slow-burning angst and I live for it. Somewhat ooc but the story is interesting so I don’t mind. Best line: “If you decide to go to Sebastian and he is stupid enough to let you go...again, then will you let me catch you?”
The Bear and the Chipmunk by ImaginedInsanity
58.1k words. Trigger warning: Sexual assault is a major theme through the story. If that may upset you than please skip this one. If not, I highly recommend this angsty beautiful fic about two hurt people learning how to be together without hurting each other. Best line: “Because I feel like it’s special when it’s with you...”
Of meerkats and moving forward by LahLah87
55.7k words. Another fumbling, slow-burn, friends-to-lovers fic that makes this ship so great. This ship will never be the couple that everything is instantly perfect for... But it is so fun to read about them trying. Best line: “But then there was Dave; Dave, who’d looked beyond his tarnished reputation and fallen in love with the lonely, miserable boy underneath.”
Well, those were my favorite multi-chaptered Smythofsky fics! Please let me know if you are the one person that would like me to put together a rec list of oneshots for this dying ship! Xx
