Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your five favorite fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers! Spread the self-love. ❤️
Also tagging @innytoes and @jmrothwell because I wasn't able to keep up with these throughout the day and I know myself and there's no way my brain will let me do it three separate times now lol
There's probably some recency bias involved, but:
For Julie and the Phantoms:
the sunflower series
Reggie/Julie, QPR Luke & Reggie & Julie, Luke & Flynn
This one is about summer love and how it shines. It's about diving headlong into the surf while your friends cheer you on and holding hands with your ghosts. It follows the echoes of those scorching summer feelings, and the sunflowers that sprout in their wake.
What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Feel Alive
Luke/Reggie/Julie, Queer Themes, Fluff and Hurt/Comfort
Julie has several heart-to-hearts as she tries to figure out how to love a ghost (or two).
Kept On Climbing 'Til Our Stars Collided
Luke/Bobby, Julie/Reggie, pre-OT4, Fluff and Angst
Bobby rubs his eyes. He must be more screwed up from the dopamine than he thought, because— There’s an angel in the kitchen.
For Stranger Things:
maybe the stars align
Steve/Jonathan, Canon Compliant Enemies to Friends to Lovers
It all starts with a cup of coffee. “It's just, you know, an orange branch or whatever. To show that I'm trying.” “You mean an olive branch.” “Sure, man. If you say so. The intent's there, right? Isn't that what matters?” Well. Maybe Steve's right. Maybe it is.
For Stephen King's Carrie:
i'm only me when i'm with you
Sue/Carrie, Fluff, First Kiss, Introspection
Maybe, now that they've escaped their bubble—maybe now they can really get to know one another, and just—finally be comfortable in their own skin, together.
