I haven't personally read many of these (yet!), so this isn't a recommendation list. The relationship may be in the background, and fics might feature other pairings. Word counts have been rounded. Because the fandom has been around for a while, there are many more fics on FFN (enough to make this list hit the link limit, hence the split), so be sure not to miss that masterlist, linked above.
Remember to check all tags and warnings before reading.
Authors love kudos and kind comments.

"The autumn of 1781 marks an end to the war and brings the return of an old friend. Amid these changes, Felicity must navigate the complications of blossoming romances while keeping her own adventures a secret."
A lovely post-canon Ben Davidson/Felicity Merriman drabble with simmering pining, a fiercely loyal Felicity, and the kind of heart-filling ending that feels just right.
“Do you have some room on your dance card for an old friend?”
A Winter's Ball by LadyReisling
G • 3.2k words
An American Girl post-canon one shot filled with lovely details and holiday atmosphere. An unexpected reunion between Felicity and Ben, a perfectly characterized brush with adventure, and the hint of what's to come all create a story that feels so much bigger than the word count would suggest.
Show American Girl Women, Ep This is a Romance Novel (with Tyler McCall) - Jun 12, 2023
Love this podcast so much. This episode mentions Ben/Felicity starting around 44:52, and it's really funny.
And obviously it's a book for children and it's not romantic, but even at my young tender age, I was like, "Oh, this is a romance novel. To me. Like, these two need to get married." And now I'm a huge romance novel nerd.
