Any fics you'd recommend? No matter the fandom
Okay I am so sorry that this took so freaking long but I... love.... so many fics.... honestly, I tend to have one or two fics per fandom that I’ll go back to and reread like five years later. Sometimes they don’t hold up overtime, but honestly a lot of it is nostalgia factor for me, to go back to a familiar story that made me life through some rough times and escaping back into that.
But! Some fics to recommend!!
I will always, always, always recommend The Skipper by LinzRW. In fact, everything this person has written has absolutely blown me away but this fic in particular I will sit and read every single day for the rest of my life. I absolutely adore it, it’s so fucking creative and, while some spots might be ~predictable~ I was always thrilled regardless because of how expertly the emotions and humor are depicted. Like. If I could write a perfect fic, it would be like this.
Similarly, poorpiratelass has an ongoing series starting with Tongue Tied. This has a similar sense of humor with creativity that I just adore. It balances that line between changing canon events and just adding some fun humor and romance to it. This is a slow burn that burns and I reread this all the time. I’m pretty sure there is a super long review on it where I just gush like an absolute fool haha.
A classic that I love to go to (because I love to rip on OC’s and Mary Sues, despite that being almost exclusively what I write) is The Official Fanfiction University of Middle Earth. This fic absolutely destroys me, it’s a goldmine of giggles and it doesn’t take itself seriously at all. I don’t know man, I just love this one a lot. It’s by misscam/Camilla Sandman!
Now, I know that Twilight gets a shitty (deserved) rap, but there are some good fanfics out there, man, and this is one of them. It’s just pure wish fulfillment, feel good, Jasper is obviously my favorite don’t shame me fanfic. It’s called A Hundred Winks of Sunshine by Tsume Yuki. It’s absolutely adorable and a feel good read that I love catching up on. The author has a lot of other good stories too!
I have two Naruto recommendations, actually! The Facts of Life by bittersweetties, which I adore because it starts off sort of cutesy almost? But holy shit does this story take off and it really keeps your attention. Another one that’s really good is Sakura by Darkpetal16. This fic was actually the fic that made me love Sakura, and as someone who used to not particularly care for her, this series (yes, it’s a series, you’re welcome) made me adore her, even if it’s technically an OC and not actually Sakura. But it did make me love Sakura! They’re both really good Naruto fics, and the authors both has more really cool stuff. LinzRW actually have a hysterical Akatsuki series, it’s pure crack cocaine but damn if it isn’t funny, so if you like Naruto check these ones out!
Last but not least, if you’re a fan of the Joker (and original characters) then Ennya’s Housekeeping (and sequel, Remnant) have what I consider to be the most in character Joker and the most realistic relationship between him and an OC. I cannot stress enough how much I love this fanfiction. it’s not only super relatable in regards to the OC but there are some points of suspense that are honestly terrifying and if there isn’t some gutwrenching moments, ugh my heart!! I love this fic, and it really tugs my Joker loving heartstrings.
If any of you guys have read any of these before, feel free to talk to me about them!! I love them all and... might... spend the next few hours just... rereading these :)
