It’s time for first Friday fic night!
For a refresher you can see what this is about here.
Last month we returned to Teen Wolf.
This month it is Snow White With the Red Hair. Poll at the end for what we should cover next month!
I'm really excited this month to talk about what may be my favorite fandom. This list was a little harder because for all that there are fewer fics for this ship there is such a wide array of feels and themes to pull from.
Fandom: Akagami no Shirakukihim | Snow white with the red hair. Ship: Obiyuki (Obi my beloved!) Theme: Shirayuki figuring out what she actually wants
As always, mind the tags. There will be smut.
I have to start off by acknowledging my favorite author in the fandom, Sabraeal. I love everything she writes but I feel like linking to each of her fics would be overkill. So instead, here are three that I feel in my bones and that fit the theme. I can guarantee you will see more of her work in future posts.
Seven Suitors for Shirayuki, by Sabraeal
"If someone had told her this was going to happen, maybe she would have taken Zen up on his offer."
I have reread this fic so many times that I actually lost count. The same can be said for the companion fic 100 Headaches for Haki. Just, Obi's devotion to Shirayuki, and Obi & Haki's friendship, and Haki shipping the hell out of Obiyuki, and Shirayuki growing into herself are all just. Fantastic

as seen through a mirror, sharply, by Sabraeal
"It takes a certain type of stubbornness to believe that one tragedy won't beget another; Shirayuki is finding that she no longer has it in her to turn a blind eye and hope for the best."

and all my winding roads have led me here (to you), by Sabraeal
"Shirayuki turns thirty and ponders at all her untaken roads-- as well as the one she put herself on, all those years ago."

Eclectic80 is another of those authors who has so many fics to love. Their most recently completed one is just everything.
Changling, by Eclectic80
"Shirayuki goes to extreme measures to help the king and queen of Clarines, and ends up with an unexpected consequence."

Fairy Tales, by Eclectic80
"After Zen's royal engagement is announced, Shirayuki finds her path leads her to the far corners of the continent. Good thing she has her best friends along."
This is the lightest on this list. I just think it's neat.

Period Piece, by ccprovolomies
"Shirayuki's life told through days of her menstruation"
I actually found this one more recently and I cannot express how much I adore the way the the author uses Shiryuki's cycles as measure of her life's trajectory. Just :chef's kiss:

I hope you enjoy. Let me know how much you love them on a scale of 'Oh. Oh' to flower porn.
For next month we are going to pick a theme instead of a fandom. Within each theme you could get works from: Snow white with the red hair, My hero academia, Teen wolf, Attack on titan, and maybe even Yuri on Ice or Buffy thrown in as a wild card.
So, what's next month?
Reincarnation (the rare AU I read)
Family Feels
Outsider POVs
Grief and mourning
Time travel
Dealing with Mental Health
True slow burn (100K words +)
e-mails
