papercraneandinkstains SMAU Fic Rec List:
Otherwise known as my personal section to write love notes to all of my favorite authors..... Will be updating frequently because I am chronically online and I use the word OBSESSED a lot. Be warned...
REMINDER: You are responsible for your own media consumption! If you don't like an aspect of a fic, feel free to move on QUIETLY! Sending hate to authors who make FREE content is insane and you will be treated as such!!
SMAUS:
Heartbreak:Live/Offline- @zyafics (Rafe Cameron x Reader)
Have you ever read something and you were so obsessed it was all you could think about? That is this SMAU for me. I have made a few SMAU’s in the past for Marvel, but never posted them because I was too anxious, but when I read THIS fic????? I genuinely have read it probably 20 times, I am so obsessed. It gave me the push to make my own SMAU’s for OBX, but to also post them! This girl makes such incredible work and graphics that I genuinely am so in awe of her! She is literally the sweetest, and if you haven’t read this, I genuinely can NOT recommend it enough. I spend hours talking about it with my sister because I am SO obsessed with it. I could write an entire book of love letters to this writer because she genuinely has put her heart in this fic and it really does show! It’s literally perfection! In my mind we are genuinely best friend's, I am so obsessed with quite literally anything she does!!
Kildare Split- @ghostofwriting (Rafe Cameron x Reader)
This???????? You're going to see a few Band/Musician AUs in this list and this was the start of my obsession! The relationships? The music? The longing??????? Don't even get me started. this fic is literally a MASTERPIECE and should be treated as such!
Lay all your love on me- @kimoralov3 (JJ Maybank x Heyward!Reader)
This fic is sooooo special to me because I love love love the relationship between Reader and Pope as their brother. Anytime I see the Heyward!Reader tag, it’s an immediate click for me, but this fic is absolutely everything!! I’m talking poor JJ is down in the trenches for this girl to the point he’s cleaning fridges….
Salt &&. Secrets- @sematarygirls (Rafe Cameron x Reader)
This fic is another one of my favorites! Reader is venting on an online blog about Rafe and he is going OUT of his mind trying to figure out who it is! Kelce and Topper are such instigators in this that I find myself laughing every time I see a new part! There are some really cute and different graphics that this writer does a really good job of creating!
Rhythm & Revelry- @darlingchronicles (Reader X JJ Maybank)
Okay, this fic???? Every time I see an update I am giggling and kicking my feet. JJ is fighting for his life against the allegations that he has a crush on Reader/Blue, but the man has been down bad since they were kids and EVERYONE knows. This is a fake dating trope and it is so cute! I am so down bad for this fic!
Summer Lovin’- @murdockcastleslut (Jackson Genrette x Pogue!Reader)
A Kook obsessed with a Pogue is a guilty pleasure of mine and this fic is EVERYTHING. The interactions between JJ and Pope are my absolute favorite, but he is SO desperate for any kind of attention from Reader that you can’t help but fall in love! I love love love this story so much, I will drop everything the second I see an update!
Off Limits- @whorelaud (BFB!Rafe x Reader)
This one is a mix of SMAU and written fanfic and it has me on my knees. The interactions between Rafe and Reader, but also Reader and everyone else have me rolling on the floor every chapter! This is such a cute story and the dynamic between Reader and her brother really takes it over the top!
Off Topic- @murdockcastleslut (Rafe x Reader)
Okay, so you are definitely going to see this author quite a few times and I’m not even sorry about it! She is literally so sweet and she creates such amazing work that there’s no way I’m ever going to shut up about her! Rafe is so down bad all I can do is giggle and kick my feet at every interaction! Sarah in this fic has me obsessed!!
Meddle About- @murdockcastleslut (JJ x Reader/ Rafe x Reader)
A band AU that has me in a chokehold already and it has just begun! I genuinely am obsessed with this story already and it only has a few chapters! Then again, I think this writer could post blank posts and I would still eat it up because she is just that good!
Bed Chem- @lolxdswag123 (Rafe Cameron x Reader)
Okay this story is so amazing, I don’t even know where to start! It’s a story of Reader falling in love with Rafe while also wanting to return to college after the summer is over. She and JJ have a complicated history, which has its own twists and turns. This fic is literally so amazing!!
Riding the Edge- @ghostofwriting (Rafe Cameron x Reader)
Motorcycle content creator Rafe and Bookstagram poster Reader are literally everything to me! The graphics on this story are so cute, but the story itself just blows me out of the water! They fall so in love so fast, and then Rafe Cameron does indeed fumble the bag… BUT there’s hope guys! I love this story so much!!
Ocean Blue Eyes- @softspiderling (Rafe Cameron x Reader)
Okay but musician Reader is always everything to me and this fic????? I literally am so obsessed with it! The fan theories? The literal threads the audience ties together time and time again?? Literally obsessed!
Summer Sun Forever- @l6ndry (Rafe Cameron x Reader)
Band AU’s have my heart in case you can’t tell…. But a celebrity falling for their biggest fan??? The delusional girl in me will EAT it up every time! This story is literally so cute! Reader and their friends are such cuties, but Rafe and his band mates? I have to laugh every time they have a conversation… This is SUCH a great read!
Poor Un-American Girls- @greyswaren (Rafe Cameron x foreignexchangestudent!Reader)
This is such a cute and original idea that I have been eating up like crazy! Reader’s friendships with their friends back home?? Their new friendships with the OBX community?? Rafe being a down bad fella (as he should be).... I am obsessed with this!
Gossip Girl- @maybejj (JJ Maybank x pogue!reader)
Don't even get me started on this..... Literally so full of fun and drama and ANGST.... Literally prepare to have your heart ripped out and stomped on and be ready to want to rip out someone else's (I'm looking at you Adam and I'm coming for you buddy....) It literally feels like a movie every time I see a new part!!
Criminal Love- @maybejj (Rafe Cameron x college!reader)
You want a COCKY SMUG Rafe Cameron who just so happens to be a killer in every universe????? Look no further! I am literally so obsessed with this series it's not even funny! The banter, the little comments online, the HANDWRITING FONTS.... I fear I too would fall for a criminal.... This author is literally fantastic! She could put out a post of watching paint dry and it would be ART!
Fractured Ties- @maybejj (JJ Maybank x Reader)
IF YOU KNEW ME IN REAL LIFE, YOU WOULD KNOW I NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT THIS FIC... These are literally my babies fr... A One Tree Hill inspired fic that has Rafe and JJ as BROTHERS, there is nothing that could be more perfect for me. Add in Rafe's sweet ass relationship with Reader and GOODBYE... I'm a puddle every single update. You would NEVER be disappointed in reading this!
Too Hot to Handle- @maybejj (JJ x Reader) (Rafe x Reader)
Are we shocked that this is just turning into a love section for this author????? Absolutely not, I love her bad 😭 This is inspired by the reality show Too Hot to Handle (I'm sure you got that from the title, but just in case) and the graphics are JAW dropping... Need I say more???
Set Me Free- @maybejj (JJ Maybank x Reader)
Surprise, surprise it's me again obsessing over another maybejj fic... Don't mind me at all... This one makes me so unbelievably pissed off at Ward Cameron, you have no idea... THAT MAN CAN PERISH... This reader is Sarah's twin and I eat it up every single time! RECOMMEND!
Twin Flames- @maybejj (Babydaddy!Rafe x Pogue!Reader)
I knew it was coming... you knew it was coming... ANOTHER ONE, but LISTEN this one keeps me up at night... Something about toxic!baby daddy Rafe has me in a chokehold and I'm okay with it! She literally eats with everything she does, but this one will have you GAGGED at how talented she is!
You want me to pretend?- @inthelibrarybtw (BasketballPlayer!Rafe x College!Reader)
DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON THIS... I will actually never shut up! I'm sure you can tell by now that I EAT up a college romance, but there's something about athlete Rafe that really locks me in... THESE GRAPHICS are so stunning, I truly CAN'T take it... The song choices... The writing??? It's phenomenal!
Kildare Nights- @robinsgrl (Undecided x Reader)
Want to literally roll on the floor laughing for hours on end? Look no further! This author has got to be one of the funniest people on the planet, and this series will literally SUCK you in so fast... I'm literally obsessed with it!
Happy Endings U- @whytheylosttheirminds (BaseballPlayer!Rafe x College! Reader) (BaseballPlayer!JJ x College!Reader)
I mean... are we shocked???? We shouldn't be shocked... THIS IS LITERALLY SO STUNNING YOU GUYS DON'T GET IT... Poor Reader was in a SHITTY relationship, and she is finally branching out! Don't get me started on the security app.. I'm so serious, don't... it keeps me up at night how good it is...
kildarewatch.com- @zyafics (ExBSF!Kook!Rafe x Kook!Reader) (ExBSF!Kook!JJ x Kook!Reader)
And just in case you REALLY weren't shocked, I've come with ANOTHER banger by the literal love of my life who physically can NOT make a bad piece of media... This story is so captivating, but the graphics????? I will literally drown in a puddle of my own drool anytime she updates, I'm not even joking! Literally everything she puts out is SO perfect, I don't know how I even exist in the same timeline as she does....
