There are sooo many brilliant fics in the Oscar world (some of you write them!) But sometimes, the older stories get lost in the shuffle, especially if that writer has written less for whatever life reason.
So! I am going to rec some mutuals that all OI fans should know!
(please lmk if you would like to be removed)
This will be tricky because I will inevitably leave someone out, but I don't mean to. Also, I am not the authority/gatekeeper of this info. I simply want to share the ✧ ancient wisdoms ✧ I have personally attained.
Some of these people post a lot and some don't. Some of them have thousands of followers and have been around for a long time.
Of course you all know @reallyrallyauthor and @my-secret-shame-but-fanfiction - they write and post frequently, and have been around a while. Can't say enough about these sweetie pops.
@missdictatorme is around too so make sure you check her out, especially if you want the best banter, strong/sassy reader characters, humor, wit and scalding hot stories.
For beautiful prose and lots of yummy Poe and Santiago content, go see @campingwiththecharmings
For some incredible anguished beauty and all manner of amazing stories for OI, go see @moonknightly, who was definitely married to Marc before I was. Just read her new Santiago story and it got me good.
If you ship Rey + Poe from Star Wars, go see @virtie333. She also has a Moon Knight story (still on my list) and a Triple Frontier story (freaking amazing), probably others. There's one where Rey and Poe survive a snow storm that I'm still in awe of.
@whatthefishh - there aren't enough Rydal Keener fics in this world, but you can find them here, among others
@brandyllyn has a wide variety of stories, but lots of Poe and Santiago as well, including a story in my top 5 of all time, Alabanza.
@eyelessfaces - treasure trove of fics
@felix24601 - writes for a variety of fandoms, but has a lot of Triple Frontier stuff and some Moon Knight stuff. Amazing world builder and has some dark stories if that's your thing. Changed blogs, so message him if you need links/help
@howellatme -I consider howell the authority on Richard Muñoz, but that's not all she writes
@faretheeoscar - yes, the OI news sharing artist is also a writer!
@backp0rchpoet - everything is hottttt and i love their sick banners
I know there are more writers, I'm sorry if I missed a great one! Not all of the ones I've read have honored me with mutalism. And this is a moots list. Also, some of you may write, but I might not be aware if I couldn't find your masterlist, and believe me, I did a deep dive on a lot of people!
Please feel free to add to this list. I want to be following all the OI writers! And please lmk if you want to be removed.
Summary: The passing of your runaway father triggers a series of events that brings you back to the place where you grew up. You’re back in Hoboken, and sleep eludes you. Haunted by waking nightmares, you find an unlikely refuge in the basement laundry room of your building, where you keep bumping into one of your neighbors, a certain Frankie Morales. Soon, it becomes obvious that the man is also running away from some ghosts of his own.
Can you two strike a deal that'll help you find some rest? Should be pretty harmless, right?
A Triple Frontier / A Most Violent Year AU.
Pairing: Frankie Morales x OFC (Leigh Reinhorn)
Please note that this story is written in reader format but Reader is an OFC. There are sparse but still present physical descriptions; she has a thorough background, and a name.
Rating: Explicit 🔞
TW: THERE WILL BE NO TRIGGER WARNINGS ON INDIVIDUAL CHAPTERS. So please tread carefully because there will be (ghosts) (no really) mentions of: PTSD, death, self-harm, secondary characters dying, gun violence, grief, depiction of very vivid nightmares, all the spooky vibes I can infuse, I am not kidding, my first writing love was horror (but I'm only just getting back into it, so baby-scary level).
Some newcomers: slow burn (my first, bear with me), idiots in love (like, very stupid).
And the usual suspects: love at first sight, soulmates, pleasure and pain, an alarming level of feelings denial, light bondage, rough sex, size kink like WOW this is Francisco Morales, lots of bodily fluids (come spit and sweat, sweat come and spit, my MVPs), unprotected sex, the usual very intense Orange bedroom Frankie, "I can fix you but I won't let you fix me" Frankie, and an OFC who's a match for him.
A/N: my dearest Orange bedroom besties, I don't know who's still here, but I'm very grateful for you all, past, future and present 🧡 This is probably the same story, the same tropes, again and again, only this time I will explore grief in a way I hope to be a bit spooky but not too off-putting. I promised myself this story would contain less angst, but the outline has already destroyed all hopes of a successful attempt...
So here's yet another long love letter to our Pilot™. I hope you enjoy the flight 🧡
