Thank you so much Kate ❤️

Here are my 5 self recs ☺️

1. Collared - I think about the 3 of them way too often. If only I could write them as fast as I cook up scenarios in my head 😆 (dark Joel and Tommy x f!reader, non con, smut)

2. To Keep You Safe - look, this story is not one of my more popular ones but I still love it so much. I’ve had awful writers block for this fic so there hasn’t been a new part in over a year 😱 But I will never give up on them and I have actually managed to write a few paragraphs in the last few weeks so hopefully I can finally move their story on. (Joel x f!reader, smut)

3. Amantes Sunt Amentes - again not a popular one but I stand by it 😆 this was my first non Joel fic, my first non reader fic, my first threesome fic and my first mlm fic 😆 It’s absolutely feral and I offer no excuses! (Marcus Acacius x Lucilla x Maximus, smut)

4. The Party - another group I think about far too often… (dark Joel and Tommy Miller, Javi Peña, Dave York, Frankie Morales, Ezra x f!reader, non con, smut)

5. Coraline - this one broke my heart to write. I cried pretty much all the way through. It was so out of my comfort zone and I’m so proud of it. (Frankie x f!reader, abuse - not by Frankie)

Crucially important question!? Are these ranked in order of favourite!? Bugger. Umm.

In No Particular Order!

Missing You - Sam/F!Reader. This is from BabyKase, way back when. I was new to writing het, back in the fanfic game after a 10 yr hiatus and basically writing a little slice of escapism perfection. This fic hits a lot of my kinks :D and centers around a married Sam & Reader who are apart for a few days. Reader sends Sam lots of flirty sexts that culminates in phone sex. In chapter 2 we see Sam return home & give his wife what for. Not that she is complaining ;)

This One Needed Stitches and This One Came From Rings - Sam/F!Reader. This is where I'd kinda started to dip into some kink stuff & maybe start poking some old wounds of my own. This is a darker fic, my writing bestie still hasn't read it because it romanticizes self harm & that's a squick of hers. This fic has Sam & Reader discussing old self harm scars (both real and mental) and engaging in some heavily under-negotiated painplay & breathplay. It's not the most Safe or Sane of my SSC fics, but it is consensual.

It's A Quarter After One - Dean/F!Reader. Not my first jump into the pond with Dean, but certainly a firm favourite. The fic where I learned that I can & do plot and also that I HATE plotting. (It was just supposed to be porn damnit!) This fic sees Dean and a very strong willed Reader butt heads over a hunt and a very over it Sam has to step in and give Dean a shake. This was also the fic I officially threw my hands up & went 'okay, every thing I write is gonna have some kind of kink in it'. But we do get some lovely visuals of Dean bent over getting his ass whipped with his own belt. So y'know. Can't complain ;)

Shame Junkie - Demon!Dean/Sam. Ahhhh Junkies. My beloved child. It was a toss between Control & Shame. Blood started it all, but those 2 are close to my heart for different reasons. I chose Shame because I had so much fun with a full Demon!Dean and also winding Sam tighter and tighter until something snapped. I didn't realise it at the time, but this fic is where I handed over my own trauma to Sam and let him hold it while we worked through it. (We're still not there) You'll find very little fun & games here. This is a Dark (with a capital Rape Scene) fic. It plays with the nature of consent and intent v impact. But y'know. Maybe you're into that. I'm not judging. I wrote it after all. But seriously. All the non-con warnings here.

Scents of Home - Wincest. This one could also have been a different one. I've gone a few different places of late & really stretched my writing wings as it were. But this one is special It's my first 'story' I guess? Like, beginning, middle, end kinda thing. Most of my work is a snapshot in time. This one has length and progression to it. Why this one though? Because I was so fucking scared writing it, but it's gotten to the people it needed to & that's worth thousands of hits/kudos/etc. My first foray into gender fuckery (but not my last by far) this fic sees a genderfluid Dean discover himself and his identity as well as Sam's love for him and his for Sam (love in a romantic sense). Told from Sam's POV we follow the boys through major life events, getting together, breakdowns & fuck ups (and plenty of fucking) to a true HEA. If Junkies is my beloved fuck up child, this is my ivy league baby. I love them both endlessly, but they're meant for different things & that's okay.

I tried to pick one from each 'era' I guess. And honestly, it was hard to narrow down 5. I excluded both Sam and Need because I've waxed lyrical about them everywhere.

Soooo. Click the links, read the things, tip your waiters & comment your creators (it's me. I'm your creators. I require constant validation. Ask my friends!)

I think I’ve got a pretty solid top five that hasn’t wavered much in the past few years. 

A View To A Winchester was my very first Dean fic that started my fanfic Supernatural journey back in 2020. It’s Dean x OFC (an indulgent self-insert, to be fair) that I wrote during the early shutdown of the pandemic. Over 70K in under two months. And, I love OFC Julie and Dean so very much that it’s turned into a series -Some Sunny Day- I return to every so often just to see what they’re up to (which can be angsty, fluffy, smutty, depending on my mood).

Wash. Rinse. Repeat. series took over a year and a half and ballooned (as a story does when I begin to plot) after a smutty little idea to put Dean in a pair of pink panties. My dudes, it took over a year and a half for that to happen in this story. I think it's a great example of how messy (it started as a reader insert and then turned into a fully fleshed OFC) and surprising fanfic can be when you let yourself go with the ideas that come to you.

Factory Reset is a Dean/Female Reader hunter friends-to-lovers story inspired by a post I saw on socials applying to Dean Winchester: I’m that sub who talks shit until your dick slams me so hard it hits my factory reset and I’m like “How can I help you today, Sir?” It’s explicit and for specific tastes (YKINMKATO), but I love how easy this story flowed from my tapping fingers onto the screen. And, yeah, it eventually spawned into a series where I like to check in on these two every so often.

Five Finger Discount is a Dean/ Female Reader that I absolutely adore. It’s another hunter friends-to-lovers and dives into hand and finger kink. It’s funny, fluffy, and with a smutty finish, and leans hard into Dean’s Roguish ways. 

If You Don’t Look Good, We Don’t Look Good is a Dean/Female Reader story that I wrote when I was missing a particular Dean, but it’s fun and fluffy with, again, a smutty finish and Dean Winchester talking a little dirty for good measure.

I tag, but never pressure, these awesome writers (I had to squeeze in an extra one): @sam-is-my-safe-word, @runawaydr3amerao3, @jinkieswouldyoulookatthis, @bigmouthlass, @zepskies, @sorryitsmyfirstdayonearth

I was tagged by the wonderful @rizlowwritessortof, in this post. Thanks, Riz. I always enjoy your fics, but I have to say that, You Can Leave Your Hat On, is one of my faves!

My favorites change over time but here are my current ones.

Why Don't You Stay and its companion, Let's Make It Last ~ A couple of my earliest fic posts (fair warning😅). This story signified a shift in my style, and I physically felt that change as I was writing it. I still had a lot to learn (always will), but these will unfailingly be on my list of favorites when asked.

Evermore ~ I have several angsty fics, but I think this is the angstiest I've written so far. I sobbed while typing it.

Rumors ~ A four-part series that just flowed. So much pain and regret between these two. My first fic to include a Narrator POV, and I loved how it turned out. I also really enjoyed writing in that comparative style to show their similarities.

The Girlfriend Who Remade Christmas (In Progress) ~ Fluffy, fluff! Writing characters who have an established relationship makes me happy. Their familiarity with each other creates opportunities to add fun, quirky details. The research to find new adventures and experiences for Nic to share with Dean has probably been the most fun I've had in the writing process. This series also has an interactive companion piece, which was so much fun to put together. I'm looking forward to getting back into this one.

I Can Explain ~ The most recent favorite. It's my first time writing Beau, so it's just a little ficlet, but I chuckled while writing the scene and picturing him in the middle of it.

Alright, so who are we going to (no pressure) tag ... @thatonewriter15 @talltalesandbedtimestories @stusbunker @cleighwrites @justagirlinafandomworld

Thank you! 💕 From oldest to newest:

Unexpected - FO4, Kellogg/F!Sole, rated E, 30K words, complete

My first true canon divergent fic. A retelling of the end of the game with a non-canon SoSu who's every bit as bitter and jaded as that grizzled old merc. I am especially proud of keeping Kellogg an asshole and still redeeming him at the end. Of my early work, it's one that I've read the most.

Accidental Synchronicity - ME Trilogy, Thane Krios/Jack|Subject Zero, rated E, 17K words, complete

A throwaway line in the mainfic of my series Soldier, Spectre, Savior led to the spark for this fic. And then it grabbed me by the throat and wouldn't let go until I was sobbing at the end along with everyone else. I don't know how many times I've read it, but of my ME stuff, it take the top spot.

Hope Is a Fragile Thing - post-DAI, Solas/OFC, rated T, 13K words, complete

When I wrote this, I was trying out the whole 'finish it before posting it' rule that I've kept up now for several years. One of many MGIT protags, it follows a 'Solas won' scenario with a happy ending. Some of my absolutely favorite lines of dialogue are in this fic (Dorian Pavus, my beloved).

Destiny Is Just In the Timing - DA2/DAI, Varric Tethras/Female Cadash, rated E, 52K words, complete

Varric is my first DA love, and the one I always go back to. He and Hawke are always crunchy, but Shae Cadash stormed into my brain and refused to leave. Following DA2 from the outside, and DAI from the inside, the tale of two broken people trying to hold each other up. [deliberately looks away from DAV's ending for him]

And the Days Go By - FO4, Hancock/F!Sole, rated E, 64K words, complete

If you've noticed a trend of all my faves being canon divergent AU's, then you know all you need to know about me as a writer. And Days is no exception. Modern Girl In the Commonwealth with sprinklings of cosmic horror, game mechanics as torture plot devices, and of course a happy ending for the best ghoul husband and his Sunshine.

Tagging forward, and to anyone else who wants to!

- 1. The Lovers

FFXIV | Shadowbringers | Wol x Tansui | Explicit | 4310 words

After defeating the Rak'tika Lightwarden, Warrior of Light (& Darkness) finds time to teleport back to the source, yearning to see her lover again. Tansui is more than happy to see her again, and their need for each other is undeniable. However, after they come together, something weighs on Tansui's mind

This is one of my most recent fics, and I really love exploring both Meryta's and Tansui's POV in this one. I struggled getting it to where I wanted, but I'm so happy with where it ended up and some of the nuances I was able to get in here.

- 1.5 Passing Through

FFXIV | Stormblood patches | Wol x Tansui | Explicit | 4518 words

Warrior of Light Meryta Khatin, while helping Genbu with the Four Lords passes through Onokoro. She can't help checking in on a friend - and Meryta and Tansui can't deny the attraction between them.

Alright, I'm cheating and adding one more Meryta and Tansui fic. This one was the one that settled the idea I had for them in my mind, that made me think of them as ship - even if they're not there yet. I had such fun writing it, and I think it shows.

- 2. Choices

FFXIV | Shadowbringers | Wol | Gen | 736 words

After the reveal and failure of G'raha's plan, Meryta has a moment - angry, hurt, confused and falling apart

I love this little MSQ coda, it was so great to express the feeling about the whole plot, and how it felt to Meryta. I think I expressed her feelings and interiority so well, and put some great images in here.

- 3. Comfort

Dragon Age | Vampire AU | Solavellan | Explicit | 7107 words

"Brooding alone?” someone asks. A woman, an elf, leans on the bar next to him. Her red hair is up in a ponytail, displaying the tawny skin on her muscular back. She is wearing a shimmering white dress, only a scrap of fabric covering her back. “I am just here to enjoy a drink in peace,” he replies. She laughs, eyes sparkling and lighting up her face. Her lips are painted bold red, and he notices her vallaslin, a dull olive covering the right side of her face. Dalish, then. Not many clans do that anymore. “No one comes here to drink in peace,” she says. “Iwyn Lavellan.” She holds out her hand, and he has to take it, bringing it to his lips in a kiss. Later, he blames the alcohol, or her sparkling the eyes, or the way the dress barely covers her ass. “Solas. Pleased to meet you.”

Probably my favorite AU. I love the little plot, I love the world, I love the dynamic between them. I love writing Iwyn as the immortal. I love the images and descriptions I wrote - and he smut is pretty good too!

- 4. Home

Uprooted (Naomi Novik) | post-book | Agnieszka/ Sarkan | Teen | 2175 words

He misses her, just not more than he fears belonging.

This is probably the favorite fic I have ever written. I think I hit the mood of the book so well, and managed to make a believable continuation. I just think this one flows so well and I'm very proud of it.

- 5. Temerity

Dragon Age | post Inquistion | Solavellan | Explicit | 10728 words

Iwyn Lavellan is doing all that she can to stay one step ahead of Solas, opposing him after he reveals his plans. When she runs into her former lover in an abandoned ruin, they start a tenuous and dangerous dance. They can't help but being drawn to each other, no matter how harsh the flames of love or hate will burn them.

I love this one for so many reasons. Though not Iwyn and Solas canon (in my head) reunion, I love the darkness of this, and the way they're messed up. I'm so proud of myself for going there and writing this and putting it out in the world. I love some of the metaphors, I love the intensity. And I love the open ending I left; do they spiral or do they make it through?

WIP:

"Well," Hinata started, trying to be stoic. "I better get on it. Have a knife I can borrow?"

Blue eyes flashed at her, grin never falling off his face. "You're bluffing. You're lucky that you're cute when you lie, Princess."

Feeling her face flush, Hinata cleared her throat, trying to focus. "Yes, well," she cleared her throat again. "Have you got the knife or not?"
