Fanfics That Altered My Brain Chemistry (In No Particular Order)
(Last Updated Dec. 26, 2025)
these will mostly be multi-chapter fics from ao3 bc if I included one-shots this would be too long and my quotev and wattpad libraries exist from a dark pre-ao3 period in my life and therefore are lawless lands better kept between me and god
note: these will primarily be oc x canon or x reader bc it is my preferred genre of fanfiction so if that’s not your vibe then this may not be for you
i tried to give proper credit to the authors as best i could but not all of them had socials i could find so please let me know if there's anyone i miss!
also make sure you read the tags of these stories as there are definitely some potentially triggering topics in some of them. i'll try and cover some important ones in this list but i may miss a few
DC/Justice League/Batfam
"Answer. That you are here-" by SecurityNotebook - Jason Todd x OFC
Rating: Teen and Up
Status: Complete (67 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: Halcyon Myles can see spirits and she doesn't realize until an amnesiac “ghost” saves her life. She is then forced to (begrudgingly) help him and all the other ghosts she comes across, accidentally stumbling across mystery and conspiracy and making friends in the process.
POTENTIAL TW: suicidal thoughts and self harmful behaviors (in the very first chapter especially), familial neglect and emotional manipulation, mental health issues, death and dying, hospitals, traumatic events and the recovery that follows
Personal Thoughts: This was my first ever batfam fic and it honestly ruined the rest of them for me. Hal is such a cool character and I'm always a sucker for ghost powers but the way the author writes them out and expands upon Hal's were really fun to see and experience. Romance is not exactly at the forefront of the story but her and Jason are still super adorable. I don't know a ton of the DC lore so I cannot speak to canonical accuracy but this is a very fun read and a nice mix of fluff, humor, and angst that I'm sure plenty of people will enjoy.
The Sandman
today i bury you in me. by thedarklings - Dream of the Endless x Titled!Reader
Rating: Teen and Up
Status: Complete (11 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: A cursed mortal reader, forced to wander the realms endlessly forever, falls into The Dreaming and develops an unlikely friendship with the Dream Lord himself. Their relationship told in vignettes over the span of centuries.
POTENTIAL TW: violence against the reader (some believe they are a witch and there are violent acts that stem from that in a chapter or two and are mentioned at times in others), depictions of blood and wounds, talk of difficulty sleeping, loneliness and isolation, ANGST
Personal Thoughts: The descriptions of this story are some of the most beautiful I've ever read. Despite being on the shorter side tibyim is a gorgeous piece with so much emotional depth and vibrant storytelling. Their reader character, only ever called by the title "Wanderer," develops such an interesting relationship with Dream and it is always so beautiful to read about over and over again. Reader does tend to be referenced as she and her as far as I can remember, so I hope that doesn't turn people off too much. The author also has some bonus content on their tumblr @the-darklings that I def recommend checking out if you enjoy the main story.
Jujutsu Kaisen
Until Gojo Satoru by NoBirdWithintheCage - Gojo Satoru x OFC
Rating: M
Status: Ongoing (Currently 153 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: Yuina Ema comes from a family of sorcerers who live outside of jujutsu society, until she is discovered by Gojo Satoru after murdering a few people and is forced to abandon her family and entire life lest she be labeled a curse user like the rest of them.
POTENTIAL TW: abandonment, death and grieving, gore, sexual content, complicated familial bonds, old fashioned traditions, sexism and misogyny, future fertility issues and feelings surrounding that, JJK typical violence
Personal Thoughts: This fic actually got me through the last few months of my senior year of college no joke. Ema is cool and cute but also weird and eldritch horror level terrifying. There's a lot more depth involved in terms of character exploration and world building and watching that through the lens of someone who knew about sorcery and was forced into playing the game against her will is such an interesting experience. So far the story exists in 3 parts and has only just sort of finished the events of JJK 0 but the pre-canon story lines are so interesting I promise you won't even care.
Two Halves; Hitotsu Marugoto by monowriter - Gojo Satoru x OFC
Rating: Explicit
Status: Ongoing (Currently 46 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: Juniper Smalls lands in Japan for the first time and proceeds to have a REALLY bad day. And it just continuously gets worse.
POTENTIAL TW: death and dying, gore, parental death, adoption, reincarnation bullshit, kidnapping, fairly graphic body horror mentions/descriptions
Personal Thoughts: Juniper is fucking hilarious and watching her take a no bullshit approach to Gojo's literal everything is wonderful in a way i didn't know i needed. Very OC lore heavy but it is integrated into the plot in a way that feels so natural. Learning about it at the same pace as Juniper really helps build intrigue and suspense and offers such a unique take on jujutsu society. honestly just a super great read all around. But just to keep people aware there is a bit of an age gap (Juniper is 22 and Gojo is 28 and it starts a bit after the prison episode in season 1).
Criminal Minds
Something Like a Star by recollins - Spencer Reid x OFC
Rating: M
Status: Ongoing (39 Chapters, but has not been updated since 2021)
Abridged Synopsis: College student Aria DiMaggio gets a once in a lifetime offer to intern at the BAU from the legend himself, Jason Gideon. But her first day on the job comes crashing down when she's fired not even an hour after arriving at Quantico bc Gideon hired her behind Strauss' back.
POTENTIAL TW: domestic violence and abuse, mentions of drug abuse and addiction, stalking, emotional manipulation and abuse from family members, death of a sibling, CM typical violence, be sure to read the tags and beginning notes as they do mention triggers as well
Personal Thoughts: Pretty sure this is the first fic I ever read on ao3. I was in a big CM resurgence and really liked Aria's characterization. The author pulled from their own personal experiences and the story was actually a personal project for them to work through their own stuff (which they do mention in more detail in the foreword of the fic). Aria is so sweet and her personality meshed really well with the team, especially with Spencer (WINK WONK) and I found their relationship development so enjoyable to read. WARNING: the last updated chapter ends on a not so fun angsty cliffhanger, and has not been updated since (baby please come home the kids miss you) you have been warned.
Naruto
Symphonies by JJGrace42 - Kakashi Hatake x OFC
Rating: M
Status: Ongoing (Currently 54 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: A time travel fix-it fic following Kiyoko Uchiha, a girl desperate to save everyone she loves from certain death.
POTENTIAL TW: death and dying, violence, child soldiers, time travel/reincarnation related trauma, Naruto typical violence
Personal Thoughts: I really love this story bc I feel like it's different from a lot of time travel fix-its. From the very first chapter we don't know a single thing about Kiyoko or her past bc it's not even from her POV until like chapter 3. And the non-linear aspect does a good job balancing Kiyoko's intentions with her new reality and showing why she's so desperate for that change. Also the Uchiha clan is so crazy strong and I always forget. Basically two awkward child prodigies trying their best to fumble through peer interaction. Find the author here on tumblr @jjgrace42!
The Year That Changed Everything by BlueGreenPurple - Kakashi Hatake x OFC (romance isn't the main focus at the moment but it IS there)
Rating: M
Status: Ongoing (Currently 35 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: A group of women are discovered beneath an abandoned building in Konohagakure several years after the Nine Tails attack, each in varying states of pregnancy. The fallout of this is astronomical in more ways than one
POTENTIAL TW: kidnapping, child death, child abuse, torture, birth related trauma, forced pregnancy, teen pregnancy, violence against women and children, Naruto typical violence
Personal Thoughts: This story is absolutely bat shit insane, fuck Shimura Danzo me and the homies hate Shimura Danzo. Very slow building but not in a way that drags the story down and although it follows a large group of OC's they are all very interesting and have pretty distinct personalities. It's not a traditional Naruto OC story but it is definitely intriguing and goes fairly into clan politics in a way that not many people might think about. The author doesn't have a tumblr but their twitter and discord is in their ao3 bio.
Great Ninja's Don't Make Great Parents by YuuTama - Kakashi Hatake x OFC
Rating: Teen and Up
Status: Ongoing (Currently 47 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: Hinode Uchiha is too tired for all of the baggage she has to deal with, but at least she's not dealing with it alone.
POTENTIAL TW: death and dying, parental death, child soldiers, blood and injuries, descriptions of blood and injuries, mentions of suicide, minor jutsu inflicted self injury but not in an intentional way, older sister/eldest daughter related trauma, Naruto typical violence
Personal Thoughts: A really cool take on the Uchiha clans curse of hatred on a more personal level and how the main character Hinode tries to deal with the legacy of an entire clan on her back while simultaneously adopting every single junior ninja in Konoha. Hinode also gets a little kid crush on Sakumo and it's a little bit funny considering the fact that Kakashi gets such an obvious crush on her later on. But I’m not gonna complain get that bag girl she's got a type and she sticks to it.
EDIT: ladies we literally just got into shippuden and i need someone to sedate me <3
Mana by Eiruwei - Shisui Uchiha x OFC
Rating: Teen and Up
Status: Complete (53 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: Reborn as a sickly Uchiha girl, Mana is forced to navigate the politics and customs of not only her clan but of her entire society. But dammit if she isn't gonna be the best housewife the clan has ever seen.
POTENTIAL TW: suicidal ideations, mental health issues, chronic health issues, death and dying, Naruto typical violence
Personal Thoughts: Naruto but make your civilian OC the perfect housewife. Another really interesting take on the Uchiha clan and the politics within wrapped in a really nice fix-it fic. Shisui is so adorable and his relationship with Mana is so naturally developing and very sweet to see. One minor hang up is that TECHNICALLY her and Shisui are cousins (her mother was adopted into Shisui's father's family and she married an Uchiha man) and I know that marriage within the clan is more normalized bc of their dojutsu and it's not super talked about but I wanted to at least mention it.
Attack on Titan
your friend's boyfriend's best friend by reinerispretty - Reiner Braun x Reader
Rating: M
Status: Ongoing (Currently 26 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: After breaking up with your long term boyfriend, Jean Kirstein, you need to find a new place to live and fast. Enter your friend and old college roommate, Annie, whose boyfriend Bertholdt has a best friend currently seeking a roommate. Too bad she didn't tell you that said "best friend" was totally hot.
POTENTIAL TW: post break up weirdness, mentions of divorce, mentions of parental death and illness, reader has an emotionally abusive mother, mentions of complicated family dynamics
Personal Thoughts: AOT but make it a modern day shoujo manga. Guys they were LITERALLY roommates and THEY ARE SO CUTE! I am an avid lover of the "friends-to-lovers" trope and reader and Reiner have a very seamless relationship that builds naturally upon really weird circumstances. Also reader has a cat named Toast and he's the best animal companion a shoujo protagonist can ask for. Find the author here on tumblr @reinerispretty!
Percolate by heichoe - Levi Ackerman x Reader
Rating: Explicit
Status: Complete (15 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: University coffee shop au! Reader is an overworked college barista and Levi is that regular with the really complex coffee order who slowly but surely becomes the bane of your existence. So obviously you end up super fucking into him.
POTENTIAL TW: none that are super overt, miscommunication? mentions of parental illness and family struggles? There is also smut so be aware.
Personal Thoughts: (Sort of) enemies-to-friends with benefits-to-lovers. (Minor spoiler) there's a chapter from Levi's POV and I think it actually fundamentally changed me as a person. When I read this for the first time I read it again IMMEDIATELY afterwards and am probably gonna read it again after I finish this list. This is just a really fun and light read that kinda gives late 90s/early 2000s rom com vibes in the best way possible. Be warned: reader and Levi have a bit of an age gap as well (it’s never specified but reader is a first year in undergrad and Levi is a grad student I believe making him like 22/23? But I don’t think it’s ever fully specified and if it is I missed it lol).
Resident Evil
props & mayhem by halfmoonmp3 - Leon Kennedy x Reader
Rating: no rating
Status: Ongoing (Currently 13 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: You are a secretary at the DSO and Leon Kennedy scares the shit out of you...and he thinks it's absolutely hilarious.
POTENTIAL TW: secret relationship? potential toxic co-worker but you don't really interact with her and she's gone pretty quick, potentially mild mentions of self worth issues
Personal Thoughts: OFFICE ROMANCE WITH OUR FAVORITE TRAUMATIZED EX-COP! I don't really have much for this one besides the fact that it's cute as fuck. Reader and Leon are kind of obsessed with each other but in a totally innocent, crush way. Local sad, wet cat man experiences genuine gentle affection for the first time; has no clue how to deal with it.
paint me like one of them dead girls by junieyes - Leon Kennedy x Reader
Rating: Teen and Up
Status: Complete (14 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: You are a nineteen year old living in Raccoon City when the entire world goes to shit. Good thing the hot rookie cop you meet in the police station has your back.
POTENTIAL TW: it's Resident Evil 2 bro they got some freaky shit goin on, RE typical violence
Personal Thoughts: This was one of the stories I found when I went on a big RE kick a while back and it's honestly really fun. Basically RE2 but if you had a companion that answered the question "what if your inventory was a stressed college kid with a really big backpack and they made lots of funny quips and also had to pee for nearly the entire game?" and it is just as entertaining as you think it's gonna be.
Fell by the Wayside by megumimidnight - Leon Kennedy x Olivera!Reader
Rating: M
Status: Complete (65 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: Your brother Carlos has been missing for 5 years and you have been spending each second working to try and find him. Too bad someone really doesn't want you too.
POTENTIAL TW: drugs, reference to suicide, espionage, kidnapping, drugging, weapons and violent acts committed with said weapons, RE typical violence
Personal Thoughts: I thought this was a fun take on the RE universe, especially considering that after RE3 Carlos just...fucks off and doesn't return. Its sourced a lot from canon but it's an entirely original story that feels to seamlessly fit into the RE universe. The reader character ends up working as a tech analyst at the DSO and is a little reckless but very self sufficient and confident in themselves and their skills which I think was really cool.
i've played these games before!!! by softkennedy - Leon Kennedy x Reader
Rating: M
Status: Ongoing (Currently 9 chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: After dying from a literal caffeine overdose reader wakes up in rural Spain highly disoriented and dramatically underdressed. Thankfully she's played RE4 enough times that it's easy for her to convince Leon Kennedy that her strange behavior can be chalked up to the gift of foresight.
POTENTIAL TW: canon typical violence, blood and gore, passing out, death (it IS an isekai after all), angst, crack levels of thirst
Personal Thoughts: what if shawn spencer from the hit show Psych (2006) was a mentally exhausted college student traipsing through muddy spanish terrain in fuzzy my melody slippers? you're about to find out! i actually got recommended this fic by someone on tik tok (which i have unfortunately since lost but will link if found again) and the premise sounded so interesting. i was in a big isekai/transmigration kick when i discovered this so it was luckily right up my alley and the writing is so witty and well paced. if you're looking for something fun and a little bit meta then this is def a story for you!
One Piece
Methyl Nitrate Pineapples by razbliuto - Trafalgar D. Water Law x OFC
Rating: M
Status: Completed (45 Chapters) with a currently Ongoing sequel
Abridged Synopsis: At 19 Strangways Sophie had never journeyed outside the walls of G-13 where she was raised. But it was her duty as a member of the World Government to help suppress the Revolutionary threats in Vira. Turns out the glorious justice she always imagined wasn't all it was cracked up to be and after being left behind in a war torn territory she was certain her life couldn't get any worse. The she was poisoned in the foot by a sadistic pirate doctor and nothing is ever the same.
POTENTIAL TW: government propaganda and abuse of power, mild sexual content (good and bad), deep internal conflict and self reflection, coming to terms with the bad things you've done and taking responsibility for them, depictions of mental illness, blood and wounds, scars, death, murder, mentions of child abuse, power imbalance, betrayal, torture, minor mentions of illness and illness related trauma, depictions of negative portrayals of women in media
Personal Thoughts: I discovered this in August, inhaled it in like 3 days, and then proceeded to re-read my favorite parts over and over for the next like month and a half like a mad woman. I still think about this story and the sequel all the time. Sophie and Law match each others' freak in a way that is somehow the dream and deeply concerning. They are so wonderful, I want what they have except not at all, you know? They're truly so weird and they embrace that weirdness fully and I adore them so much. Sophie's character development is so raw and real and so beautifully written. I cried multiple times reading this story and I don't usually cry over fics at all. It's funny and witty and balances the tone of OP that truly translates the heart and soul of the source material in such a seamless way and expands upon it wonderfully. Sophie's character may be a bit...annoying at first for some but it is a result of her growing up in the very clinical and isolating environment that is the World Government and personally I think it just makes her growth and the journey she goes on all the more satisfying to watch unfold. There is a bit of an age gap between Sophie and Law (she turns 18 in MNP and is 21 in the post-timeskip sequel to Law's 26), and it does come up a few times throughout. You can check the author out here on tumblr @fablecore, she does some beautiful drawings to accompany the fic and Sophie is such a cutie patootie I'm obsessed with her.
Heartstring Marionette by astrella - Trafalgar D. Water Law x OFC
Rating: Explicit
Status: Ongoing (Currently 15 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: Homura - The Worldspinner, is a young, promising Marine Captain with a lot of plans for herself and her future. But there's only so much she can do within the confines of her rank and under the watchful eye of the World Government. Enter up and coming Supernova captain, Trafalgar Law.
POTENTIAL TW: allusions and depictions of child abuse and neglect, murder, violence, fire, slavery, (seemingly) morally ambiguous oc, there are tag warnings for each plot arc within the story so I recommend reading those
Personal Thoughts: Flirting but make it weaponized. Homura is so funny and flirty and Law HATES it. I love watching that man suffer positively as opposed to every other way he suffers. She is a very interesting character with a lot of mystery surrounding her past and it's written in a way that desperately leaves you wanting more. Also the original content plot arcs are so well written and culturally rich, I love OP fics that create their own islands and cultures.
Oregano is for Savages by Berylthemanatee - (future) Sanji x OFC
Rating: M
Status: Ongoing (Currently 24 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: an anxious Kuja child runs away from home in search of her mother and things go SO WRONG SO QUICKLY.
POTENTIAL TW: familial abuse and neglect, anxiety, slavery, forced manual labor, child abuse, death, death of children, cannibalism, World Nobles, physical and psychological abuse, public execution, mentioned/brief depictions of manslaughter
Personal Thoughts: I have very few words to explain the absolute wild ride this story is. Oregano (our OC) has had a difficult life that continues to get more difficult as the story progresses, but it's OP what do you really expect. There's a lot of world building and character development currently happening at the moment so it's looking to be a long-fic in the making but the plot is so compelling that you can't stop reading. It kind of reminds me of the way your eyes can't look away from the screen when you're watching a horror film. I just wanna wrap my little girl in a blanket and hide her away forever. Also there's really pretty art that goes along with some of the chapters and you can check some of it out at the authors' tumblr @berylthemanatee!
EDIT: the editor for this story found me in the wild and i feel like a victorian woman who was just called upon by a privileged gentleman during the social season 🥰 @daemonerik you will always be famous to me
Surprise, You Ruined Everything by HippyMindy52 - Various Whitebeard Pirates x Named!Reader
Rating: Explicit
Status: Ongoing (Currently 24 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: Reader wakes up in OP on the Moby Dick literally the day after her college graduation with absolutely no clue how she got there and then proceeds to immediately ruin canon and engage in a three day long game of hide and seek with Whitebeard's top commanders.
POTENTIAL TW: explicit sexual content, mental stress, blood and gore, fire and fire related injuries and deaths, pretty graphic depictions of violence, drug induced states, emotional breakdowns, OP typical violence
Personal Thoughts: One feral college grad takes on several of Whitebeard's top commanders and she survives by the skin of her teeth. Polyamory is the name of the game folks but don't let the crack fool you this baby can fit so much lore and angst. I expected a regular isekai fic but I was so SO wrong and it took a turn that was so interesting. And our protagonist (who whips out the fake name Shellie bc she's a modern girl with a sense of self preservation) has such a fun and feral personality that makes you really wanna root for her. The author doesn't have a tumblr but there's a user @thekraftcryptid who has done some really cool art for the story that I highly recommend checking out, although there are spoilers and quotes from the story in their pieces so you have been warned.
Dive|rgence by SugarFeather - no romantic pairing, very focused on found family/platonic intimacy
Rating: M
Status: Ongoing (Currently 39 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: Elynna is in the Mediterranean Sea one minute and the East Blue the next...she does not handle it well for the next several chapters but she is so good at faking it. At least she can gain a bit of joy from terrorizing the World Government.
POTENTIAL TW: morally ambiguous OC, violence, gore, suicidal thoughts and ideations, trauma, grief and mourning, fugue states, severe emotional distress, minor body horror...in a clinical/medical way i suppose, OP typical violence
Personal Thoughts: It is such a realistic interpretation of the isekai genre that is unlike anything I’ve ever read before. Elynna wasn't a fan before entering the OP world, her sister was, and her entrance was so sudden and jarring that she continuously deals with it throughout the entire story so far. For her it's not just about adapting to your circumstances and trying to recall canon that she's not super familiar with, there are actual physical and psychological repercussions to her entering a world that was not and never will be meant for her. AND THERE'S LORE ABOUT IT GUYS THIS STORY IS SO GOOD!
My Hero Academia
The Paperwork Has Paperwork by MirrorDaltokki - Shouta Aizawa x OFC
Rating: Teen and Up
Status: Ongoing (Currently 24 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: Chiyoji Tousha just wants the heroes to do their fucking administrative paperwork. But not everyone can be as perfect as Eraserhead, can they?
POTENTIAL TW: nothing so far, maybe second hand embarrassment? but it's fun so it may not really count
Personal Thoughts: Holy shit this story is so hilarious. Local former delinquent turned civil servant is obsessed with underground hero Eraserhead because he just...does his paperwork really well and on time. You know what respect tho I love a girl who knows what she wants. Chiyoji is honestly such a funny heroine, she scares professional heroes twice her size but cannot function normally through a conversation with Aizawa without choking on her spit I’m so obsessed with her. I'M ROOTING FOR YOU CHIYOJI! Also her quirk is super cool and he technically falls first. Author runs a FFXIV blog here on tumblr @mirrordaltokki!
A Nudge in the Right Direction by Vanya_Instance - Tamaki Amajiki x Reader
Rating: General
Status: Complete (6 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: It was impossible for anyone in the world to be as shy as Tamaki Amijiki. Turns out that's wrong, and his match is just a few classrooms over.
POTENTIAL TW: light mentions of body insecurities, mild angst, anxiety and spiraling thoughts
Personal Thoughts: Short and sweet and so!! cute!!! Reading this was a bit like watching two really shy turtles try to interact but instead choose to sit in their shells really close to one another. It was such a fun read and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Reader is in the support course and she is such an anxious little mess bless her heart. Tamaki is such a cutie patootie and reader in this story is equally cutie and patootie and they deserve to cutie and patootie together!!! The author doesn't appear to have to tumblr but their is a twitter linked in their ao3 account bio!
BBC Merlin
The Wanderer by thebipolarme - Gwaine x OFC
Rating: M
Status: Complete (31 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: Marian Ragnell is summoned through time from 2014 to Arthurian England, interacting with the legends of her childhood in ways she never could have even dreamed of, including her favorite knight Sir Gwaine. But it doesn't really help that they get off on the wrong foot.
POTENTIAL TW: era typical views on women, language that is very offensive to women, angst, kidnapping, assault, depictions of blood and wounds, torture, war, there are a few chapters with chapter specific tags so i def recommend double checking those, Merlin typical violence
Personal Thoughts: I will admit I am a sucker for the "modern girl falling through time to the past" trope. This fic literally reignited my love for BBC Merlin and Gwaine specifically so fiercely I’m actually a bit concerned for my personal health. The author did a really good job balancing canon and original content and based some of her original chapter and her OC on the actual wife of Sir Gawaine in the legends, "The Loathly Lady" Dame Ragnelle, which I thought was really interesting. One thing I will say is that I wish there was a bit more character development between Marian and a few of the other characters but the interactions we do see definitely make up for it. Especially her interactions with Gwaine (which very much give Beatrice and Benedick from Much Ado About Nothing vibes). There were times that I laughed out loud reading not only their conversations but her conversations with the other characters as well. Marian is a self assured, head strong woman who knows what she wants despite the times she's forced to live in and there is something about her character that is just so lovable. Overall the story definitely reflects the tone of the source material rather well and although I have a few personal hang ups about it, it doesn't change the fact that I've already had to force myself to pace my second full read through despite only finding it a few days ago.
Percy Jackson
Little Camper by PainfullyPisces - no current romantic relationships involving OFC but there is an eventual romance tag
Rating: General
Status: In Progress (Currently 37 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: Stephanie Overbaum has her entire world turned upsied down after discovering she is a demigod. A situation made all the more worse now that she has to live at a camp that's being overseen by her father, who she has never met in her entire life.
POTENTIAL TW: violence, child soldiers, monsters from greek mythology, parental issues and the emotions surrounding them, trauma, scary dreams, PJO typical violence
Personal Thoughts: I actually discovered this fic from TikTok. The author does some really cool artwork to accompany the story (and just in general) so I recommend checking them out at frogbee_studios and they have other socials tagged in the foreword of their story. Stephanie is so funny and so exhausted in a way that is entirely fitting for a child learning their dad is the god of wine and revelry and the (reluctant) guardian for a summer camp. It has such heard despite it being very early on in Stephanie's story an the comedy captures the heart of PJO perfectly. If you like creative demigod OC stories then this is one that I HIGHLY recommend.
Twisted Wonderland
Villainous Hearts: Under Your Spell (Formerly: To Wish on Clouded Stars) By AmuletRebel - OC x Various
Rating: Teen and Up
Status: Ongoing (Currently 25 Chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: Yuuna finds herself lost in another world with no way home but perhaps it's not such a terrible place to be.
POTENTIAL TW: TWST typical violence, angst
Personal Thoughts: TWST but make it the otome game it was meant to be! This is the story that actually inspired me to write my very own TWST fic (which will probably never see the light of day but whatever) and it's just such a fun ride. Their Yuu (Yuuna) is so funny and witty and give her a break bc she is so tired. Their story hasn't been updated for a while but I hold on to hope nonetheless. You can find her here on tumblr @amuletrebel and she has her YouTube channel and twitter linked in her ao3 so check her out. (IF YOU SEE THIS DARLING PLEASE RETURN FROM THE WAR (in your own time of course I would never rush you) THE KIDS AND I MISS YOU!)
EDIT: THIS STORY WAS UPDATED LITERALLY THE DAY AFTER I ORIGINALLY POSTED THIS??? IS IT LUCK??? PROPHECY??? WE'LL NEVER KNOW BUT A FANTASTIC FIC HAS REENTERED THE WORLD PRAISE BE!!!
Solo Leveling
Solo Panicking by icefox8155 - Sung Jinwoo x Reader
Rating: Teen and Up
Status: Ongoing (Currently 41 chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: Our reader gets isekai'd into the world of Solo Leveling and she is the cottage core baddie of your (and Jinwoo's) dreams.
POTENTIAL TW: story typical violence, gore (in some parts), mature themes, use of Y/N
Personal Thoughts: i discovered this story maybe two weeks ago and have re-read it several times since. my brain is rotting. the reader character (again, often referred to in the work as Y/N bc i know that's a deal breaker for some) is so! fucking!! cute!!! she truly is the cottage core baddie of everyone's dreams. her system ability gives her the power to channel her emotions and add stat buffs to the food she makes so she's always cooking, and that's literally just the tip of the iceberg. very housekeeper of the dungeon (manhwa) or campfire cooking in another world (manga) vibes. the author (@icefox8155 here on tumblr) does such a good job at building a lovely, effortless rapport between the reader and Jinwoo (neighbors to friends to lovers???) and their banter is always so electric. also there's very interesting personal lore that's currently being built up that i'm immensely looking forward too it's gonna be so sick.
Hazbin Hotel (NOTE: PLEASE be sure to read the tags for these bc holy cow some of them are violent and crazy)
Yours Truly - by AmusingMuse - Alastor x Reader
Rating: Explicit
Status: Ongoing (Currently 37 chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: after sending a very pointed and angry letter to the station that cancelled your favorite radio program you inadvertently end up in a devious battle of wits and wills with New Orleans' most darling radio host. do your best...if you so dare!
POTENTIAL TW: pre-canon shenanigans, smoking, swearing, discussions and occasions of period typical racism and sexism (reader is stated to be white for plot reasons), hunting (animal and human), murder, biting, cannibalism and mentions of it, graphic violence, LOTS of death, references to suicide, references to death in childbirth, blood play
Personal Thoughts: this was one of the first fics i read from the show and i have been watching since the YouTube pilot so you know i'm fr fr when i say this is good shit. Reader (never referenced to by name) is single handed taking care of her younger sister all by herself whilst simultaneously trying to become a lawyer when she inadvertently catches the attention of the most annoying man alive (affectionately). they are so silly until they become so unbelievably, agonizingly doomed i love them. this fic is surely a fandom staple (and if it's not then it at least went triple platinum in my house) and the author @amusingmusie can be found here on tumblr so if you like this story go gas her up for being the baddie she is!
I Will Possess Your Heart by IvyPie07 - Alastor x Reader
Rating: Explicit
Status: Ongoing (Currently 13 chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: you move to New Orleans to go to college and in an effort to treat yourself you decide to buy a second-hand radio and fix it up yourself! who knew it would be such a terrible mistake?
POTENTIAL TW: blood and gore, psychological torture, possession, possessive behavior, angst, hallucination, allusions to past abuse, nightmares, hauntings, hurt/comfort, family issues, trauma
Personal Thoughts: girlie's got tuition, exams, AND an unfortunate relationship with a radio demon but she's funny so it balances out. I feel so bad for this poor little gremlin i wanna wrap her in a blanket and give her a big old forehead smooch BUT she also hits Alastor with a baseball bat at one point so at least she's got some stuff figured out. the fic has this labeled as an AU and a good chunk of it happens on earth, it's basically a nice little fetch quest for Alastor in the middle of his 7 year sabbatical but reader is NOT making this easy for him (AS SHE SHOULD). the author @ivypie07 has lots of fun stuff on her tumblr so you should def check her out!
Middle Management by misslycoris - Alastor x Named!GN!Reader
Rating: Mature
Status: Ongoing (Currently 9 chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: as the sole resident of purgatory it is your duty to ensure the souls of the recently deceased end up in their proper places of eternal rest: whether that be heaven or hell. however that all changes when the king of the damned asks for a favor: help his daughter achieve her dreams by becoming a patron at her hotel for wayward sinners who seek redemption.
POTENTIAL TW: blood and gore, biblical references, themes, and allusions, social unawareness
Personal Thoughts: reader (given the name Sentry; they/them) is such a special little blorbo to me. the author @misslycoris has created a very intriguing character that compliments the world lore in a way that feels so seamless. And Sen is in such a unique position of having access to all of these interesting souls while still feeling so unbelievably disconnected from the world around them. but even so that doesn't stop them from trying to do their best. especially for the only friend they've ever had. this is a Sen stan account haters can find the door!
The Butterfly Outran The Radio Demon by ReeseKookie - Alastor x OFC
Rating: General
Status: Ongoing (Currently 9 chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: time-slipping butterfly overlord accidentally gets a bit too close to a certain radio host after pulling on a loose thread of time too tightly. She expected him to forget her like all the others, too bad for her he didn't.
POTENTIAL TW: yandere themes, assault and murder, demons, time travel, psychological intimidation, freaks matching one another's freak
Personal Thoughts: actually obsessed with whatever is wrong with these little weirdoes, i wanna push them together like little dolls but i know they'd bite me. the tension in this story is UNPARALLELED. and watching their oc (usually referenced as Élodie in human form) interact with Alastor is a bit like watching two predators in the wild and waiting to see who would strike first. it's divine i swear you guys I SWEAR! also you get BFF Stolas which rocks bc i love that funky little owl man.
Reckless by TsundereForHire - Alastor x OFC
Rating: Mature
Status: Ongoing (Currently 97 chapters)
Abridged Synopsis: the archangel Michael is far closer than many may think, even Michael herself! And unfortunately for Mia it's now her fucking problem.
POTENTIAL TW: blood, gore, injuries, period typical racism and sexism, star-crossed lovers, graphic depictions of violence, daddy issues but daddy is God, eons of conflict, complicated angel characters and their relationships with one another and themselves, alcohol and drug use, self-image issues, attempted assault, actual assault, murder, cannibalism, religious trauma, actual trauma, death and dying, suicidal ideation, eternal cosmic punishment via reincarnation, fated love and all the tragedies that come with it, (also there are certain chapters that had chapter-specific TW's)
Personal Thoughts: GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS IT'S SO GOOD I SWEAR! the archangel Michael is an intelligent, science and math loving human dweeb trying to get her doctorate and i love her dearly. i consumed this fic in 4 days and i need to DO IT AGAIN it's living in my head completely rent free. the lore goes so hard and it makes my brain hurt in a fun way. also the author always does such fantastic research and has little fun facts and sources in their end chapter notes IT'S SO INTERESTING. important to note: THIS IS NON-CANON COMPLIANT and DOES NOT follow the plot of the amazon show. but i do not care and neither should you do not let that deter you from reading this.
