Hey Claire! Hope you are feeling awesome today. I was wondering if you had any fanfic recs for The 100 fic that is set in canon-verse? (or at least canon setting if it was written a while ago?) I'm not a modern AU gal and I've had trouble finding fic that doesn't take place in a setting that's wildly different from canon. Big fan of you and Meta Station xx

OTHER FICS I LOVE
My two besties @abigailkanes and @brittanias both write fantastic Kabby fic, much of which is set in canon. Faves of Sam’s include: i’m sorry that i couldn’t get to you (the 409 Kabby reunion we didn’t get), simmer down and pucker up (post-s2, Abby/Kane/Raven OT3), and hush hush (keep it down now) (Arkadia Kabby smut). Faves of Brittany’s include: dokwocha (post-s3, featuring Grounder ghost stories!), all we know (post-s2 Kabby where Jaha’s in love with Abby) and femme au phlox (s3, all about the art in Kane’s bedroom!)
a voice straight to god by @knowlesian (Kabby, S1 post-culling) is amazing and brilliant and if you haven’t read it you MUST. I adore her. Other faves include my own vineyard I have not kept (s3, Abby/Bellamy/Murphy) and slow down what you can’t control (s1, Abby/Kane/Pike).
Honestly anything by lelawry on Ao3 will be great - mostly Kabby, almost all canon, and I’ve never read one thing I didn’t love. A few I have bookmarked include Uneven Odds, Already Almost, the things you said, and 15 ways to build a life.
I adore simplyprologue, who writes some of my fave canon Kabby fics. Full disclosure, I have not yet read Seven Against Thebes, which is the one that EVERYONE WILL TELL YOU YOU MUST READ, but it’s endorsed by everyone whose opinion I trust. Some of my other faves include love around the clock, a disquiet follows my soul, and for every matter under heaven.
it’s enough just to make you go crazy by @slackru (Kabby smut one-shots set all over Becca’s island by the members of the Kabby Slack chat; I wrote the hot tub sex!)
Troublemaker by startyourbenjens (s1, Abby/Kane/Jake OT3) THIS FIC IS SO HOT AND SO AMAZING
LISTEN I NORMALLY DON’T LIKE ALPHA/BETA STUFF EITHER BUT AQUIVER IS REALLY REALLY HOT OKAY DON’T @ ME (Kabby, s1)
Teasing, Tents and Cheesy Romances is pure canon Kabby fluff, set around the s3 time jump, and I adore it.
Some of my favorite canon Doctor Mechanic fics include we’ve been lonely too long by thecrackshiplollipop (post-S2 finale), the most important thing of all by astano (s2 or s3, I think?), and the new old-fashioned way by evandre (post-s2 CANON CHRISTMAS FIC!)
okay now STICK WITH ME I KNOW THIS SEEMS KIND OF OUT THERE but a taste of heaven by crackshiplollipop is s3 time jump Abby/Octavia smut and it’s FANTASTIC
WHEW THAT’S A LOT
Anyway hopefully this will get you started and help you find some new authors to follow! Also there are like a dozen new 10k+ Kabby fics coming in July as part of the @slackru Big Bang challenge, and I know at least a couple of them are canon (including mine, which will be six-year finale time jump bunker fic). Enjoy!
