what’s some favorite upstead fics of yours please🫶🏻🙏🏼
These are the ones I thought of off the top of my head. I’m sure there’s a whole bunch more, but these ten and anything else by their respective authors are a great place to start. Happy reading!! 💕
All of My What Ifs by gototwo // in-progress, post s10 that takes place 2 1/2 years into the future. I just started reading this one and got caught up last night and I am so far gone for it. this is one of the best fics to me right now, like in the top faves for sure. it is brilliant and painful in that sorta achingly beautiful way that you feel in the pit of your stomach. you know when you read something and you feel the sting of it shoot through your chest and down to your gut? it’s that over and over again and it hurts in the best way, but it’s just so well done and so damn good. read it. you won’t regret it.
cause even the stars they burn (some even fall to the earth) by dedeen // new, in progress; post s10/s10 rewrite. angst, spice and a great cliffhanger ending in the first chapter. a beautiful gem and I am obsessed with it!!
when i watch the world burn (all i think about is you) by Itsthatupsteadchick // in progress, post s10/s10 rewrite with all the feels and whumpy Upstead working on finding their way back to one another.
are we out of the woods? (are we in the clear yet?) by haileysuptons // in progress; also known as OOTW. another post s10/s10 rewrite fic that has had me in a chokehold since the first chapter, but hasn’t been updated in a while and I’m not sure if the author will finish it
I think there’s been a glitch by highest_water // in progress, almost complete; also known as Swat!Jay. another great fic that has me in a chokehold
it seemed like a good idea by Torreshalstead // complete; fake marriage/marriage of convenience with mutual pining and stupid idiots in love and a one bed trope…aka perfection
give me a day (or two) by sumsflowers // completed; an airport AU that I love more than I can put into words
To Protect You (Supposed To) by CosmosInMyPocket // a post 10x20 one-shot that was so good and has a closing line that completely gutted me
breathe again (the air i would kill to breathe) by DC_bookfanatic // nice and lengthy one-shot that takes place over the span of years. this fic has a death trope and does not have a happy ending, (I guess it has a somewhat kinda sorta happy-ISH ending depending how you look at it?). it is beautifully done, but it did collectively ruin the entire fandom when it was first published. it will ruin you too. you have been warned
From The Beginning by anniesardors // completed; kinda AU, amnesia trope, I will always love this one
