deepestbluesky: A sky at night with faint stars (Default)

as i’ve mentioned eight hundred times, i got really into Stranger Things again over the last year, and i’ve read, conservatively, a metric shit-ton of fic about it. one of the things i’ve been really enjoying is the relative presence of long, plotty, canon-related fics. so this is a fic rec list for those! plenty of these are ship fics, and the shipping is heavily weighted towards steve/eddie, but not entirely, and my focus was more on ‘interesting plot’ than on romance. fic lengths range from 30k to over 200k. i cannot promise that the way i grouped these fics will make sense to you, but they make sense to me and hopefully they give you some idea of what kind of fics they all are!

i previously had done fic reading in with my other fandom wrap ups, but this year i decided to do making things vs reading/watching things! this probably won’t happen again tbh, bc i just don’t have that much to say about the non fic stuff i read this year—however i’d like for that to be because i do a better job of sharing this kind of update for those things throughout the year!

the latest installment of my extremely scattered fic rec posts is a rec list of what feel like longfics for SHL/TYK/QY. some people might disagree with me classifying some of these as longfics, but they’re not super plentiful in these fandoms, so i took anything over 30k that is plotty. as such, a lot of these are AUs! also, hilariously, i started this long enough ago that at least one of the fics i originally said was a WIP is now completed!

questions taken from two different twitter memes in addition to prior suggestions from the Fic Clique discord and some of my own questions

i tracked my fic reading all year this year, so all data is homegrown and the product of me fighting with spreadsheets i don’t know how to use. also i cannot form opinions tonight, i’m too tired, so instead this is gonna be all mostly STATS-Y STUFF! (also note if you’re new here, i will talk about rpf a bit. generally i put rpf discussion behind a filter, but i will not for this because. end of year wrap-ups! i won’t talk about it in detail tho.)

i've been losing my gourd over zhou zishu and jing beiyuan AGAIN today, so here, have some fic recs. i've read. uh. basically everything tagged with them on ao3 that actually has them as a significant part (and a lot that don't lol but they're not in this rec list). both platonic and non-platonic relationships in this list! i won't be separating those things tbh but i will note what is tagged on the fic.

note: i've decided to keep updating this! idk how often i'll remember to do that or how much will get added, but it is a thing i'll give a try.

as always, if you have other fics that i've missed, PLEASE let me know i would love to read more!!

i also used two different ao3 stats sites, ao3wrapped and also BotHermione's wrapped, to get some rough stats (i'm pretty sure they're all over the place given how i never clean out my history lol)

so for absolutely no reason whatsoever definitely not related to the last episode of the mdzs donghua coming out, i wanted to put together a list of jiang cheng+lan wangji fics! i'm absolutely obsessed with their relationship, and what am i here for if not to provide fic recs? i'm going to include both shippy and non-shippy fics. for gen fics, i've tried to include only fics where they respect each other or work together if not actual friendship (which means i didn't include some of my favorite fics with them, where they're much more antagonistic). for ship fics, i've included some hate-sex fics, but i tried to stick with ones that have at least moments of shared understanding. also, for ship fics, i think i remembered to note when they have another pairing (usually jiang cheng/lan wangji/wei wuxian, since a lot of these do have that).

this is just pulling from what i've read, of course! if you have other fics you love about jc+lwj, i'm always open to more recs :D

hello hello! this is a list of mo dao zu shi/the untamed fics that are complete AUs and can be read with no canon knowledge! i've marked one which i thought had serious spoilers for the canon plot, in case you're planning on consuming it somehow and want to avoid those (although there's one or two spoilers which are largely unavoidable but i can give my honest testimonial that, having been spoiled for a few major things before EYE watched the untamed, it did not diminish my enjoyment at all :D ). if your favorite fic is not on this list, feel free to drop some more links in the comments! i left some out because i felt they were too close to canon, and i also left off some that i arbitrarily felt like i'd seen recced a lot of other places.

i was reading today (this fic for mdzs/the untamed) and this passage just came into my home and lovingly knocked me down the stairs:

It's a bit of an odd feeling at first, sharing with someone the minuscule details of a city he's lived in pretty much alone apart from two friends. Walking with someone down streets he's used to stepping alone on, taking a bus and having someone he knows and can talk to in the seat beside his.

Wei Wuxian can't help but find it strangely intimate: here, this is my life, welcome in. These are the streets I walk down, the roads I take, the city I know how to navigate without a map.


i... have a lot of feelings about showing people around places i've lived, and i want to say 'which i always forget' but i DON'T because i think about this constantly, and i genuinely don't think i've ever read it put into words this well.

i've had several times where people have visited me somewhere, and i've been wanting to show them around, and they haven't been interested, and objectively, i get why! it's not always fun for someone else to be shown around a bunch of mundane places that don't have any emotional resonance. and yet everytime, i'm kind of quietly devestated, because it IS personal and intimate, in a way that - at least for me - feels vulnerable, and so it sucks when it's not taken that way. and i think that's what kind of shocked me about this passage is that i'm not sure i've ever seen someone describe it that way before! not that i don't think people have, i'm 200% sure it's happened multiple times in books even, but EYE'VE never read it and it hit me unexpectedly well, to feel acknowledged by this fic.

(it's also just a great fic so far, did i mention that yet? :p)

i’ve fallen headfirst into the untamed for the last couple months, so of course i was going to end up doing fic recs!

there’s some ship stuff in here, but mostly it’s gen. i’ve only seen the show and i suspect i’m definitely leaning into show canon fics. these are vaguely organized into groups. also, i’ve tried to avoid some of the fics that i’ve seen recced many other times, so if you don’t see your favorite fic here, that might be why, but also some of the more well known fics were just too good to pass up!

all in all: fics about jc that i read and Just Thought Were Neat

also, i still haven't figured out how to fix the spacing in my posts so uh. sorry about all the blank lines.

hi! so i told [personal profile] dangercupcake that i'd make a jason centric fic rec list, and here it is! i uhhh realized that i've read MANY jason fics, so the vague criteria for this list are: canon setting, post-resurrection, gen (and mostly family focused), some angst (obviously) but mostly not Sad Endings, and the expected bias toward what kinds of jason interpretations i like. if you have other fics you think i should add or that you just love and wanna talk about, definitely comment away! or if you want more of my thoughts on any of these, i'm happy to ramble about most of these fics for a good long time

also, sorry about the spacing of this post, i still don't quite understand how to format things on dw :(
