Okay, so here are my recommendations (though I haven’t read as many fics as I would like to think, sooo some of them are just ones I have saved that sound incredible and I want to read):
And ps, my links don’t work normally, so sorry about that.
First, I want to recommend some of my own fics, because I am a shameless self advertisement:
- Open my legs, lied down with death, this feeling leads the ache, the kick, the need. - Canonverse AU from Dragon Republic, a little more than slightly dark, one chapter away from completion; part of a series with 1.5 drafted out.
- Half in the shadows, half burned in flames, we can’t look back for nothin’, take what you need, say your goodbyes - Pre-canon and all about Jiang, two-shot and completed.
Then I have mutuals I would love to recommend and some of their works: @andthemoonsingswisely - gardenias on the tile, where it makes no difference who held back from who (to love me is to suffer me); a character study of Rin and Altan, which are always beautiful; one shot. @helenestark - i'm never gonna leave you, baby, even if you lose what's left of your mind; a well done chaltan by one of the best chaltan thinkers; oneshot. @hollywoodbabylondean - Oh Drunken Gods of Slaughter; one of the most detailed and well thought out fics I’ve ever read; multi chapter, complete. @agnes-writes - say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair; one of the best post burning god fanfics I’ve ever read.
My bookmarks (i won’t recommend all of them, you see all of them on my ao3 page)!:
- The only heaven I'll be sent to is when I'm alone with you. By @shirilily - A short oneshot, less than an 1,200 words, but it is genuinely one of my favorites, has such beautiful prose.
- Voulez - Vous by shintacz (i love this author’s works) - A very delicious and well written modern au from Nezha’s pov; multi chapter, not complete yet.
- i know this room and i've walked this floor by orphan_account - A beautiful, beautiful post canon reincarnation au that made me cry; one shot.
- #CafeFightCouple by Anonymous - A very fun and fluffy modern au that is a perfect break from the angst that is the whole trilogy; unfortunately multi chapter and is probably abandoned, still worth a read to me.
- clings like coral by suncrowned(cloudywithachanceofmeatballs) - An incredibly interesting what if prompt; very short one shot.
- Keeping Score by @corneliaavenue-ao3 - is another interesting what if that has such delicious characterization and plotting, all from Nezha’s pov; multi chapter, incomplete.
- Peculiar Pets for Peculiar Girls by thirdtenbin - A whimsical fluffy fic with the vibes of a Studio Ghibli movie; multi chapter, to be completed.
- Mai'rinnen, Is It Just You And Me In The Wreckage Of The World? By @icarus-homebound - is a beautiful character study of Altan after his death, and focuses much on his relationship with Rin; multi chapter, to be completed.
- Upon a Quiet Field of Scarlet by schwoopyboop - A post canon fic taking place in the afterlife where they are all happy; long, multi chapter, not completed yet.
Fics I want to read myself:
- should’ve known I’d be the first to leave by @arikaito - a canon divergence from dragon republic; multi chapter, complete.
- darling, everything’s on fire by mostlypoptarts - a hunger games au with (i’ve only read a couple chapters) interesting character dynamics; long, multi chapter, complete.
- odyssey in waiting by tellmeyoursecrets - an angsty one shot set in the modern world.
- Foundations that lasted the ages then ripped apart at their roots by Purple_cactus - an exploration about the trifecta; short one shot.
- small favors by stqrsign - a pure fluff modern au; longer one shot.
- We are diamonds taking shape by @shirilily - another canon divergence from dragon republic, focusing on rin, kitay and nezha and their trifecta dynamics; long one shot.
That ended up being a lot more than I expected, but I am a yapper and really enjoyed talking about all these fics and I really hope that you are happy with my many recommendations!
