Hi! I’m Jimena and I love reading fanfics. I usually just like them and eventually I end up losing some fics I really liked. So I decided to create this type of masterlist for me to organize and revisit fics I really really enjoy.
So please take this as some recommendations of fics you should read! In my opinion these authors deserve so much recognition for their incredible works 💖
Also if you have any recommendations please let me know, I would love to read them.

Following the logic of my other masterposts, I often come across posts that interest me, but I don't always have the time to read them right away. So, I like or repost them, hoping to get back to them later. Sometimes I manage to read them, but other times they just get buried in my likes and posts.
That's why I'm making this To Be Read (TBR) List to keep track of all the fics I want to read. Feel free to add some of these fics to your own TBR, and I'd love it if you could send me some recommendations too!
Thanks, and I hope this helps someone!
