Tennis rpf fic recs time! Mostly sincaraz but Holger gets in there sometimes. Matteo too👀
Given recent events, these are some of my faves ff from very talented authors that deserve all the attention and praise for their creative talent.
Half Of a Third by @cam-panda - This is one of my favourites ever!!! Recently finished, the angst is delicious and it’s really character oriented which i personally really love. Happy ending! You are so talented I loved this so so much🩵 The way this explores the internal feelings of all three characters and manages to have them confront it in a way that feels both genuine and realistic is truly special.
the seas catch fire - a fandom classic I’d say, really really beautifully written from start to finish. Some angst, some humor, a lot of very beautiful characters. One of the first ff I read and really loved in this fandom.
game, set, match - This is a series and the sincaraz is mostly in part 2. It’s mostly a f1 fic but let’s be real these two fandoms are a circle. It’s also the first fic I read in the tennis rpf tag so I’m very fond of it <3 I don’t know if the author is on tumblr let me know if you know their blog!
What Memory Keeps by @n1mmue - sincaraz, post-Wimbledon fluff. This is so soft😭 so so soft and it’s written with such care. One of my re reads when I need to feel only softeness and happiness. The style is so rich but at the same time so delicate, I loved it. You have such a writing talent😭🫂
fader by @unlapped - this fic is so genuinely unique. I can’t describe how i felt reading it, almost like I was suspended in time waiting for something to break. Beautiful doesn’t even begin to cover it. Angsty and very mystical and somewhat whimsical? Idk just read it its jljalajashqloajajajakaka you will question what is real and what isn’t a lot of the time.
you gotta promise not to stop when i say when - THE social media fic. Everything about this is top tier - the humor, the way the posts from every social have a very distinct way about them… I loved this. It’s kind of a fandom classic I would say, even if you never considered this pair before trust me, you want to read this.
se questo amore è un castigo (come tu lo vuoi) by @svampira - this is for my fellow toxic relationships/mess enjoyers🙂↕️ there’s cheating here, and the main pairs are sincaraz and sinnettini. The writing is extremely good and I cant wait for the second chapter!
The Last Tyrolean Dynasty - so this fic. The writing talent here is genuinely amazing showstopping. This is a the sound of music au, i didnt know the original so I was unsure about reading. Well. Well. The talent is really REALLY AAAAAH and this fic captured me completely. Really kudos to the author and please keep writing you really have a gift.
sincaraz, children fic (I love those kids so so much. best characterisation ever)
call me by your name by @bangonoscah - the concept for this fic is so so funny: journalist! Jannik Sinner😭 Genius really. Very light hearted, very good banter, a lot of good vibes. Loved it. Beautiful read when you need some joy and laughter in your life
trophy husband - humor! Misunderstanding! Another fandom classic, lighthearted and very funny. Idiots 🥰
get me by - humor! On the same vibe as trophy husband, very lighthearted, very soul warming. Idiots😭
Desert Places - this is actually a fedal fic but god it’s so so good I needed to mention it anyway. Same for this one (memory loss fic. They make me weak)
Do I Look Like Him? - sincaraz but mostly it’s Jannik and Novak talking. For my fellow djokoson angst enjoyers😔 This captured the mirror thing and fragmented relationship you can have with your spitting image so so well. Loved it.
All the fics by this author are elite, most of them are in my tbr!
Spy Au - if you loved slow horses this is definitely for you🙂↕️ sincaraz and a treat: part 2 with holger/casper
the summons by @advantagealcaraz - the concept for this fic is very creative. Time travel(?) but not really. more time mastery? It reminds me of a book I read where you had to kind of hear the rythm to time travel it really stayed with me… very beautiful
(re)ignite - !!!! How could I forget this absolute banger. A classic in the making. Suspension fic
There are more but my eyes are crossing so for now I will link these, enjoy! Let me know if you are the author of one of these and you want your blog tagged!
