happy FFWF! What are some good fics you’ve read recently?
Oh boy I love this question. Let’s take a look into my ao3 history, shall we?
Blood of the Covenant by you @dredfulhapiness! I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’ve literally reread this fic 9 or 10 times. It’s heartwrenching and so beautifully written. Every time I reread it something new sticks out at me and it’s GORGEOUS
built from scraps by @peter-stank. This is a series that started out as an Endgame fix-it but moved into something completely it’s own, unlike any other fanfic that I’ve ever read. Beedee has taken these characters and given them depth beyond anything canon creators could ever even dream of. I’ve been loving reading the lives that she’s given them and the story she’s telling with this fic. (Also, the whole series is 353k right now, so who doesn’t love that?)
You’re Not Okay, and That’s Alright by @sparksaam! This is Sam’s first fic on ao3 and it’s so good! Sometimes a family is a disaster boy who swings into dumpsters and a skilled assassin and that’s okay ❤ (also the whump in Sam’s stories? *chef’s kiss*)
hope is persistent, the silence more so by @jelly-pies! It’s not always that you come across a Pepper-centric fic, and if that’s what you’re looking for, this is the fic for you! All of jelly-pies’s fics are fantastic and her characterizations are always spot-on, which is one of the main reasons I think this fic is so perfect. She gave Pepper the perfect narrative in this fic and the premise of it is so interesting.
someday (i’ll make it out of here) by @likeaphoenix13. This one is for the WHUMP. The storyline is so interesting and the whump (emotional and physical) is impeccable.
Between a Rock and a Hard Place by @ciaconnaa on ao3! (it says that the url is the same for tumblr on their ao3 profile but it’s not linking so maybe they changed it? If you follow them, lmk what their url is and I’ll tag them!) MJ-centric!! This work paints such a beautiful picture of living life after domestic abuse. Also the author weaved a gorgeous, multi-layered geology metaphor throughout the whole thing (it makes sense in the context of the fic) and when I reread it for the first time it was !!
Obviously there are others but these are the ones that first came to mind!
