fic rec blog for queer ships from the pitt

[queerpittficrecs]

i miss good old-fashioned fic rec blogs, so i've made this one! i'm thinking i'll:

write up digest posts of what i've been reading lately (will have some ship biases for sure)

answer asks for fic recs (with comments open so other readers can chip in too!)

i'd like to mostly focus on m/m and f/f ships with occasional detours.

if you're an author and want to be tagged, please drop a comment below the post containing your fic!

please mind ao3 tags - i will not provide separate or detailed warnings in my recs. i will rec + discuss explicit fic on here. remember to leave the authors comments and kudos!

this is not a discourse blog.

tags/blog are still a work in progress, but some you might find useful for perusing:

post types: qpfr asks (all answered asks) qpfr digest (my posts of misc fic recs, some themed and some not)

pairing types: qpfr slash (m/m ships) qpfr femslash (f/f ships) qpfr poly (*this will include threesome+ fics) qpfr gen (fics with a platonic, familial, mentor-mentee etc. focus, solely or in addition to romantic/sexual ships) hopefully specific ships and characters should be fairly easy to search for (e.g. you can search 'frank langdon,' 'mohantos,' etc.) but if you're looking for something specific and can't find it, shoot me an ask!

not to be all AND ANOTHER THING!! after answering that ask, but here's some more femslash featuring ellis, mohan, and santos.

ellis/santos

Weirdest Sleepover Ever series by thatsfarce 28k total, m

i think this series is as much gen as it is f/f tbf - really great trinity character study here, and i love the parker & jack relationship that's hinted at as much as i do the trinity/parker dynamic, which has a nice slow buildup with a lot of vulnerability between them. please mind the tags for warnings - this does delve into canon-typical heavy themes.

mohan/santos

don't call it a comeback by overnights 19k, e i know, i know, my 'good things for female characters' fixation strikes again (...and why do those good things so often involve trinity santos) but this is such a 'good things for samira' fic. love seeing samira get to be both playful and earnest, love her getting friendship AND pleasure. i love how this author writes body language in particular.

mohan/santos/ellis

music from a farther room by Tinwoman 7k, e

the dynamic between the three of them is so spicy + each character brings something different and fun. love the samira self-discovery happening in real time here.

[queerpittficrecs]

hii what are your fav non-garsantos yuri fics?? i love santos-centric ships,, especially mentos and crashtos :) :)

my first ask! i'm thrilled.

check out the qpfr femslash tag on here - i've recced two mel/santos and one mohan/santos. but today i went looking for some javadi/santos for you since i don't read a lot of it! also a bonus ellis/santos - one of my underrated favs.

javadi/santos

head above water by overnights 18k, e

this one is a great 'good things for javadi' one. i love the friendship and banter between them and the tension is both hot and sweet while still being in-character. i love the domesticity of it all and i love javadi gaining confidence. the lil hints of her mckay crush are fun too.

antagonism in a non-professional capacity by cowardnthief 32k, e

i love the suggestions at trinity's trauma here without a full deep-dive. they're very awkward and sweet. enjoyed this a lot.

but we're the greatest (they'll hang us in the louvre) by flowrday 13k, m

figure skating au! i really enjoyed how the author translated conflicts from the show into trinity's career and the differences in trinity and victoria's approaches to skating. and i love how they had things end up - happy and satisfying.

ellis/santos

tumble, tumble by lilysaid 4k, not rated but arguably m/e

this one is just such a good time - funny and hot, and i love this cocky, ridiculous santos so much. parker's dialogue is pitch-perfect. and yes another christmassy rec from me in may. i don't even like christmas...

hope this satisfies, anon! i definitely want to read and subsequently rec more f/f on here and i love many a santos ship.

digest post #4

ok ok something a little different - some shen ship fics !! i love this guy. ask me about the shen crackpair iceberg...

shen/langdon

Focal point series by vernyhora 33k altogether, m-e

i love their quiet, warm connection here and now i think about them running together all the time. lots of focus on langdon healing. such a satisfying close to the series too.

shen/robby

All the Borderlines by vampiresdontsleep 26k, t

oh my god, they were neighbors. this is a fic that pretty successfully answers, for my money, the question of what shen's deal is. how is he so chill? what's hiding under there? the emotional reveals and intimacy here are great, and i really enjoy shen's relationship with his mom, too.

shen/park Maybe Misfits Have a Place, Too by Harmlessvarietyofgardensnake 3k, t

i just think this one is SO tender. sometimes you need some established relationship holiday fluff with the most random crackship you can think of. one above was great w shen's mom, and i love this one for shen's dad.

shen/kwon a summer wasting by flowersinapril 3k, e i love this joy and it's just such a fun, unexpected dynamic between them. really like how the author chose to end this!

shen/abbot

California (Knows How To Party) by sublightsleeper 2k, e

again, a fun time - the shen pov here is very funny and there are all these little character details woven in that i enjoyed a lot.

digest post #3

mixed bag today but i think my character biases are really starting to show lmfao. i'll mix it up next post...we live in hope.

mel/santos

the breath before we get a little bit closer by talaricula 6k, e

a morning-after-karaoke smut fic. i love this mel characterization where she might not be super experienced but she still definitely knows what she wants, and this santos dialogue is so good. they feel so very true to themselves here and everything feels very specific to the characters rather than being generically hot.

If You Never Had One (Call Me Baby) by icezansky 12k, e their dynamic is so sweet and sincere in this one and idk it's such a fic lover's fic yknow. a drunken party game, pining while sleeping together, a little hurt/comfort—all the hits. enjoyed this a lot.

robby/abbot

Hot racking by madeitsimple 8k, e

visceral, high-octane jack angst dealing directly with his ptsd but also a very tender vision of robby. absolute killer lines in this one ("Robby gave him that bashful smile, the one he hid in his chest"), very much including the last one.

robby/langdon/mohan

pitch and roll by Tinwoman 5k, e

ok i know i recced a #healing gen fic the other day but this is the next best thing right. the opposite of a fix-it fic - a break-it fic! please mind the dubious consent tag on this one. very mean robby, very messy mohan and langdon who are desperate for his approval.

digest post #2

today i bring you some gen (imagine), some more robbylangdon angst, and some HOT robby/jack/dana.

gen

unionizing the e.d. series by Lirazel 3k + 3k + 2k, t/g mohan & langdon, mohan & mckay. tiny hits of background mohan/abbot and langdon/mel but nothing definite. a little s2 fixit for those of us who wanted to see more of a conversation between mohan and langdon about robby's mentoring. really appreciated the characterization of both!

robby/langdon among ruins by aupalais 2.6k, m technically post-s2 but written very early in the season. i love this vision of langdon through robby's eyes: very flawed and messy. the writing is precise and delicate and beautiful and the last line alone is worth the price of admission (i think about it all the time!!).

robby/jack/dana

something borrowed by falseidols 5.5k, e est. robby/jack, background mel/frank. pretty much pwp but i love the banter and sense of history between the three of them, it's very sweet/hot and a great 'good things for dana' fic.

révérence by miss_hydrangea 9k, e

ballet au w young jack, robby, and dana. i'd say this is definitely dana-centric (and it's a very compelling dana characterization) but there is such a fun rivalry dynamic between robby and jack as well and she does challengers them, dw. i feel like the writing here is so grounded in the body in a way i really enjoyed reading.

digest post #1

some fics i've read lately and loved! mind the tags!

mohan/santos

a curse for every mile crossed by Tinwoman (art by bompeii) 43k, e werewolf trinity! and werewolf jack. great trinity voice and angst, great samira characterization, a real sense of passion between samira and trinity. loved the trinity & jack mentor relationship here. really appreciated the character arcs and the grounded worldbuilding, and there's beautiful art, too.

robby/abbot

Hungry Heart by Siria 17k, e

a great post-s2 fic. robby goes to therapy! really enjoyed the therapist characterization and the cameos by cassie and dana. love the gestures of love from jack here so much. some good hurt/comfort and fluff.

robby/langdon

Goodbye Stranger by abstrct 6k, m another post-s2 fic. great dialogue, tender but not implausibly fluffy, a vivid little scene between them.
