The 5 Most Important Fics to Me
The Other Amanda, @casuallyhl, is making me do work, but I love her so I’m going to humor it.
Full disclosure, this is accurate at this moment in time, no promises it would be the same a month from now.
1. Hiding Place by @alivingfire
This was the very first fic I read in this fandom, and what a way to start. It hurt me deep in my soul and then put it back together again. It’s also an EXCELLENT fandom primer. #Blessed to call Rachel my friend.
2. These Inconvenient Fireworks
This is on everyone’s list, right? Like...it has to be. The carwash scene is one of the best things written in modern fiction, I don’t make the rules.
3. Switch Out the Batteries by istajmaal & loadedgunn
This is like...peak D/S Louis & Harry. It has everything. Open communication. Kink on kink on kink. An actual healthy relationship! So well-written and hot as fuck.
4. To the Ends of the Earth by @stylinsoncity / @alienproof
I fucking adore this fic. Idaho Harold is a formative experience. Read it. Read it again. Then come yell with me about it.
5. Wherever I Go (You Go With Me) by @phd-mama
HIT ME WITH THAT LONG-HAUL LOVE SHIT, MY GOD. This is a newer favorite, and I adore it. Long term relationships are hard and also wonderful and Lissie captures it SO WELL. Bonus points for Librarian Louis, aka, my literal career. Also bonus points because it’s H O T. Also #blessed to call Lissie my friend.
Everyone should play! This is fun! I’m also going to tag @louisarsetattoo @polkadotsvstripes @phd-mama @fullonlarrie @jimmytfallon @zenlikejen
