Going through some fics I read on AO3 in 2025 in case yall need some fics to read when you're hungover tomorrow 💕 I read so many bangers, I tried to keep to five in each category, in no particular order!
I have 5 pages of bookmarks from 2025 and many more from other years if you wanna take a peek.
Coastal Standard Time by pinkhorizon • Adam Parrish's life falls apart, and all he walks away with is a beach house in Henrietta, Maine. His plans to flip and sell the place by summer are derailed by Ronan Lynch, the dad next door who's just doing his best.
black magic by @kidspawn • Adam wants Ronan. Ronan is with Gansey. Adam uses tarot to rectify the situation. If you really think about it, he's not doing anything wrong.
scrawl over my lines by @sunflowersandscreams • Adam wants to do something, but his ever-spinning brain and dysphoria won't let him. Ronan gets him to relax.
sex for homework by dealwiththedevil • Adam and Gansey are fake-married and Ronan has some thoughts about it
In From The Snow by @adamprrishcycle • doctor Adam Parrish x florist Ronan Lynch au at Christmastime.
i hear you call my name (it feels like home) by sunmoontruth • two henrys and their two chances at love
ourself, behind ourself concealed by @clotpolesonly • Noah cried out, the sound loud against Adam's hearing ear, and threw his head back again. The prominence of his throat jutted against Adam's cheek. Adam couldn't help but turn and press his mouth to it, bottom lip catching and dragging against a swallow. When he squeezed between his legs again, Noah moaned.
the killing of a sacred deer by @dauntless-deer • Adam has everything he ever wanted. When he sees Declan at a party, something hungry wakes inside him.
are you going to be quiet? by @thebumblecee • Dom for hire Adam realises that two of his clients are more similar than he would like. Normally, this wouldn't bother him but he thinks he might be falling in love with one.
show me how you do that trick by @theskybetween • Five kisses Adam never saw coming, and one he did.
Now What I'm Gonna Say May Sound Indelicate by shinycopperpenny • Eddie Kaspbrak has lived his whole life being told that he's delicate, and he's not. And nearly bleeding out in an alien fear demon's lair has helped him realize that--as well as what he can live through. It puts his priorities in some perspective. What he is, is injured. And married. To like, a woman. And gay. And stupidly, stupidly in love with Richie Tozier, after all these years. And he'd like to use his new lease on life to act on many of these things, if only Richie would cooperate.
stitch it together, kid, I know you know better by youabird • After moving to California to live with Richie, Eddie starts kissing him. And redecorating his house. Richie is honestly unsure which one is more surprising.
Unpin Your Butterflies by ProseApothecary • When they were kids, Stan had told him all about how birds could sense oncoming disaster, much more acutely than humans. Eddie can do it too. He’s not sure if it’s pity, or concern, or sympathy that’s behind the furrows in his friends’ brows and the downturn of their lips (and after his mother, he’s not convinced that there’s a difference). But he picks up on it immediately, files it away as evidence that you were right. You’re not ok. Prepare for disaster.
Life Is A Highway (I Wanna Ride You All Night Long) by Vulcanodon • After three years of screwing around with Eddie behind everyone’s backs, Richie decides to put a stop to the with-benefits part of their friendship. It’s the smart thing to do, the logical thing to do and has NOTHING to do with the Eddie nearly dying in a car crash at work.
Been Down Two Times by pineapplecrushface • Eddie had…well, he hadn’t changed. That wasn’t it. He felt like he’d been squeezed into a tight space for a very long time and now he could spread out and breathe, that was all. It was bound to be a little alarming to his wife and coworkers, but they would get used to it. In the meantime, they treated him very carefully, as if he might pull out the knife that had stabbed him in the face and start waving it around.
the language of your body by @gayycharlie • “You don’t get it,” Gabin sighed. “It’s like, he gets this fire, this light, behind his eyes, and I know I put it there. Like, he touches me, he looks at me, and he sees — art — I don’t know.” He paused, stealing a thoughtful drag from her cigarette. “He fucks me like I matter.”
3626.98 by Orthibli • AU. Gabin is not allowed to come back to the company after his arrest. Tobias pulls some strings to get him into the Metropolitan Ballet. And, somehow, they stay in touch.
Dance Me to the End of Love by pastellobianco • As a choreographer at the Opéra de Paris, Tobias lives by structure — until a reluctant night at a strip club shatters his calm. There, he meets Gabin: a beautiful French stripper with a buried ballet past and a guarded heart. Captivated, Tobias offers him something no one else has: the chance to be seen for who he really is.
It May Be Over. Let's Dance by foundwanting • Gabin gets his moment, gets cut, shipped off to New York, and gets a clue. Not necessarily in that order. A canon divergence AU.
Breath Control by merle_p • “I told you, I’m not mad at you,” Tobias interrupts him, flatly, and then, without pause, without warning: “Take your clothes off.”
