Upon request, today we have a Valentine's Day fic rec list! All of these fics involve Valentine's Day in some way or have a Valentine's Day vibe. We had a very short version of this rec list that we posted many years ago, but as you can see, there have been a ton of amazing Valentine's Day-related fics posted since then. Happy reading!
1) The Valentine's Day Special | Explicit | 1,322 words
Every year on Valentine's Day Harry and Louis spend the whole day participating in whatever kinks they want. This means February 14th is one of their favorite days of the year.
2) Valentine's Day | Explicit | 1,900 words
Louis and Harry are excited for Valentine's Day and can barely make it back to the hotel room.
3) All The Love | Explicit | 2,118 words
Harry smiles warmly when he sees the room with the makeshift dining table, coffee mugs for wine glasses, and a couple lit scented candles scattered across the room. He fills an empty glass and places the flowers in it, setting it on Louis’s bedside table. His smile grows even more fond when he sits across from Louis, seeing the meal his boy has prepared. They’ve only been officially dating for about a month and a half, but things couldn’t be going any better. “What’s this?” Harry asks, nodding in the direction of the dishes in front of him. “Chicken stuffed with mozzarella wrapped in Parma ham with a side of mash,” Louis says full of pride. “My little chef,” the curly haired boy grins, leaning over the table to press a soft kiss to his boyfriend’s cheek before taking a bite. “This is really good baby.”
4) Red Pants | Mature | 2,463 words
One shot in which fem Louis wears his tight little red pants to school on Valentine’s Day, and discovers he has a secret admirer.
5) Love Me Like You Do | Not Rated | 3,964 words
Louis is all in if Harry is, and Paris seems like the perfect place to ask
6) Lagrangian Point | Explicit | 4,055 words
They find each other again the night of Valentine's Day.
7) I've Loved You Three Summers Now Honey, But I Want 'Em All | Mature | 4,216 words
The restaurant was small and bright, soft colors filled the walls and tables and fairy lights hung from everywhere. From what Harry had read, the food wasn’t overly expensive but it was still comparable to what you would get at one of the more expensive places. If Harry could he would take Louis to the biggest most expensive and extravagant restaurants to do what he planned to tonight, but this would do. After being led to their table Harry nervously tapped his jacket pocket, sighing in relief when he felt the small box still there. Tonight was the night. He couldn’t wait till it was time to surprise Louis with all the gifts he got for him. Then finally the big surprise.
8) Reckless Serenade | Explicit | 4,446 words
Note: This fic features Girl Direction.
Harry's Google search history may or may not look like 'my girlfriend doesn't know we're dating.'
9) Dancing In The Moonlight | Explicit | 4,587 words
Louis’ fuck buddy gets a date for Valentine’s day and he discovers that denial isn’t just a river in Egypt.
10) Keep Your Head Down And Make It To Me | Not Rated | 4,643 words
“You know, if I hadn’t been so stupid 8 years ago, we could’ve been doing this for 8 long years. My sincere apologies,” “Maybe, but now I get to enjoy this moment even more because it’s been 8 years and I’ve never stopped wanting to kiss you ever since,” Louis admits, a light blush surfacing upon his face. “I love you,” Harry repeats. Louis beams at him. Literally beams. “I love you, Harry.”
11) Cherries In The Snow | Mature | 5,151 words
It’s Valentine’s Day, and Harry is not in the mood. So naturally, Louis lets Harry paint his body with kiss marks to make him feel better.
12) Be Mine, Little Valentine | Explicit | 7,435 words
All Louis wants is to find someone who’ll love all of him. There’s just one tiny complication.
13) Indecent Proposal | Explicit | 8,445 words
The one where Louis and Harry reminisce the ups and downs of a relationship that once was, imagining themselves as the happy couple celebrating in front of them, and decide that maybe, just maybe, it wouldn’t be too bad to relive their relationship one more time.
14) Let Me Be Your Good Night | Explicit | 10,517 words
Cupping one hand over his fist and holding them to his chest, Harry’s nose scrunches hopefully, “Would you want to get a drink before calling it a night?” Louis stares at him. “I know you’re probably tired, it’s just—” Harry sighs, wiggling his hands around nervously. “We’re both going to be alone after this and I really enjoyed talking to you, so maybe this is a little pathetic, but I could use the company?” “I, uh,” he stalls, weighing his options: either go home, have a wank, then bathe the night off, or talk more with the affable sweetheart while sharing a drink or two. Easy. “I’d like that. Sure.”
15) Better Than Words | Explicit | 11,321 words
Note: This fic is the second part of a series.
Harry and Louis have an argument while at the doctors to check on their baby. Then they celebrate Harry’s birthday and Valentine’s Day in their own way.
16) Kiss Me Once, Kiss Me Twice | Mature | 13,487 words
You’re a fucking brat, you know that,” Harry muttered through clenched teeth, bones already burning with the pure desire and hatred mixing in his body. It was an intoxicating rush of adrenaline and something else that probably came with fucking Louis Tomlinson. He squeezed his neck just a little tighter. “I can’t stand it.” Their lips were brushing against each other, just moving with the ragged movements of their mouths and harsh breathing. “You’re a lying piece of shit dickhead,” Louis muttered right back. That was all he did, challenge and nag. He loved to have the last word and Harry let him because he used all his energy to fuck him mindless.
17) Lead Me To Paradise | Explicit | 14,615 words
No one told Harry that a paramedic could be this pretty.
18) James The Pimp | Mature | 28,255 words
Everybody, please welcome my other good mate and Harry Styles’ Valentine Date, Louis Tomlinson!” 'Kill My Mind' played as the dusty-haired singer walked onto stage from the opposite side that Harry entered. “Thanks for having me, James.” Louis’ light voice carried well as he hugged James. With the grin still plastered to his cheeks, he looked around the bulkier man at Harry politely. “But, uh, I’m a tad bit confused. As lovely as Harry here is, you should probably both know I’m, er, into women.” There was a hint of awkward hesitation in his words. He likely thought Harry wasn’t straight and didn’t want to offend him, which Harry appreciated, even if he knew he had to say his next line despite it being utterly untrue. “The same goes to you, Louis, but I am as well.” James waved a hand flippantly. “Pish posh. Who really cares about that anyhow? Come along, boys. This is my show, so if I say you are each other’s Valentines, then you are each other’s Valentines. Now act like it!”
19) Cupid’s Chokehold | Explicit | 35,326 words
Louis is a Cupid who tries to match up Niall and Harry. It doesn’t work out as planned.

Choices September Challenge
Day 10 Together
Tumblr media
(Leo x Madeleine) in a Choices Rules of Engagement drabble.
A/N I know. I do. There is a ton of Madeleine hate out there. Granted there have been several times I wanted the MC to slap her in TRR. But...when it is all said and done, she has been dealt a raw deal in not just one Choices series, but two.
@choicesseptemberchallenge20 @xjustin-ethansgirliex @lovealexhunt @krsnlove​
Masterlist
Excuses
"Leo, darling?" Madeleine smiled warmly at him. "Am I boring you with these ideas for the wedding reception?"
Cordonia's crown prince leaned over and pecked a kiss to her cheek. "Sorry, love. I can't seem to concentrate lately."
She placed her hand on his. "I know this type of activity isn't something you would normally choose to do." She lowered her eyes to the images on the table that she had spent one too many hours agonizing over. "I just want everything to be perfect."
"I know you do." Leo released a frustrated breath. "Trust me. Father has done nothing but say how our wedding must be perfect." He rolled his eyes. "Anything for the people."
"I want it perfect for us." She shyly admitted.
He avoided her eyes. "Well, of course."
Unable to look down at his future being decided by everyone but him, he left the table to pace.
"I know most will expect us to use the formal dining room, but I have a soft spot for the place you proposed." She lifted a photograph of a rarely used ballroom in the palace. "No one else knows how special that room is. It could be our own secret celebration during the rec--"
"Madeleine?" Leo turned abruptly toward her. "I need a break."
"I suppose we have been at this for a while." She gathered her photographs and notes. "We can decide tomorrow--"
"I'm going to go out of town for a few days." He informed her.
She stilled. "Out of town? But--"
"I know it is poor timing." He took her hands in his. "I need this."
She looked up at him. A hint of a smile formed on her lips. "Leo, I know circumstances have sped up since your father announced our intention to marry sooner than you thought ." She pressed a tender kiss to his lips. "You deserve a little time to yourself."
He cupped her face and kissed her once more. "You're an angel."
She smiled at him. "Don't stay away too long."
"I won't."
***************
A few days later...
"Madeleine?"
She looked up from her seating charts. "Yes, your majesty?"
Constantine walked into her room. "My dear, I've received word from Leo. He has decided to extend his time away."
"He did?" Her brow furrowed in confused hurt. "I haven't heard from him. Did he not want to talk to me?"
"Leo has decided to take a cruise." He explained. "He assured me that when it makes its next port that he will come back home." He gently patted her shoulder. "I know he will call you once he is settled."
A niggling doubt cropped up in her mind, one that she would have to ignore. "Of course he will. I simply miss his input on all these decisions we need to make."
Constantine laughed. "Leo? You want his input? I believe you should make all the plans." He bowed his head to her. "Your taste needs no assistance."
*****************
A few weeks later...
"Lady Madeleine?!" One of the paparazzo yelled out. "How do you feel about Prince Leo caught in Santorini with an unknown woman?"
"Is the wedding still happening?" Another asked while snapping a photo.
"Why hasn't there been a definite date set?"
Madeleine kept her practiced smile firmly in place. "All of Cordonia knows how friendly our crown prince is. Knowing him as well as I do, I'm certain that he was being his usual charming, helpful self to a person in need." She swallowed nervously. "I expect him to come home soon. Then, together, we will announce our wedding date."
A flurry of camera flashes blinded her as she tried to make it to the waiting car.
That must have been what caused her tears.
**************
The next day...
"There you are!" Leo was a touch breathless as he jogged over. "I've been looking for you everywhere."
"I decided to go for a walk." Madeleine mumbled.
She tilted her head while studying him. "So? How was Santorini?"
He rubbed the back of his neck. "Look, I know there have been rumors floating about my time there."
"Rumors." She said calmly. "Pictures." Blocking his path, she asked the question she dreaded. "Leo, who is she?"
He took her hands and raised them to his lips. "Love, she's only a fellow cruise ship passenger." He shrugged his shoulders. "She was in the wrong place and I used my title to help her."
Madeleine remained quiet. Doubt practically radiated throughout her mind.
She'd seen the pictures. There was no way possible that the mystery woman was just another passenger. She knew the look of desire Leo had. She knew the tenderness that could appear when he flirted. She knew that he only held hands with someone he truly cared for.
And all those were seen in the photos.
Is it just a fling? Or something more?
Whatever it is, it hurt. It was a rock shattering the glass bubble of her dream. She had thought that he had chosen her out of everyone because he felt something more than a simple sense of duty.
Was I mistaken?
She lowered her head. "I see."
Leo shifted from foot to foot. "How's the plans going?"
"Everything is moving right along." She forced herself to meet his eyes. Her proud, cool mask once more in place. "Your father suggested the the fourteenth of next month for our wedding."
"Fourteenth?" He averted his gaze. "That soon?"
"Yes." Her tone hardened. "It is very soon."
He let go of her hands. Taking a step back, he flashed a charming smile. "I should go talk to Father." He turned away from her. "I'll see you soon."
**************
A day later...
"You're what?" Madeleine didn't bother to hide her frustration. "You're returning to the cruise ship?!"
"Father and Regina understand the pressure I'm under." Leo snapped. "I would think that my future wife would also understand."
"I do understand pressure!" She put her hands on her hips. "I'm the one taking all the pressure for our wedding!"
"I can't deal with this right now Madeleine." He shoved some clothes into a duffle bag. "Especially when you're yelling."
"I'm not yelling!" She exclaimed.
He smirked at her.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Leo, we need to quiet these rumors that something is wrong." Her pride smarted having to beg him to help her. "We need to spend some time together."
"And we will." He slung his bag over his shoulder. "As soon as I return."
He brushed past her without a goodbye.
As soon as she no longer heard his footsteps, she dropped her head into her hands.
**************
A couple of weeks later...
He's back and he didn't think to tell me!
Madeleine straightened her posture. She took three deep breaths and sneaked into his bedroom.
She hated that she felt a twinge in her heart as she observed his sleeping form. His hair was tousled. Skin tanned by his days on his cruise.
His eyes opened. He blinked sleepily a few times as he sat up.
"Madeleine? Wha--"
She was determined to put the past behind them. Once they were married, they would be united in all that they did for their country and in their personal life.
She draped her arms across his shoulders and kissed him. "I've missed you, darling--"
"Leo?"
Madeleine stilled. She looked over her shoulder and saw the girl from the pictures.
"What the hell is this?!" The picture girl yelled.
"Katie!" Leo pleaded. "It's not what you think--"
Not what you think?
"Who is she?" Katie demanded.
"Who are you?" Madeleine countered.
"I'm Leo's princess." She announced.
Leo's princess.
Somehow Madeleine retained her cool. Those two words had struck her to the point that she felt the need to double over from the pain.
Leo's princess. I was once that. In the eyes of the world, I AM that. Oh God, how did this--what should I--please--give me the words.
"I'm his fiancée." Madeleine explained. She felt a slight bit of pity for the other woman when she took a step back in surprise.
Just imagine you were days from your wedding only to discover that your prince charming is a dirty, cheating scumbag.
"Madeleine, get out of here." Leo ordered.
She somehow kept her emotions at bay. Shouldn't he be down on his knees begging for her forgiveness? Shouldn't he be telling this Katie person to leave?
She walked past the angry woman and out into the hallway.
I have to know.
For the first time in her life, Madeleine pressed her ear to a door.
Each word Leo said caused shock and pain to rise within her. Her carefully calm mask slipped. Tears built in her eyes. Lips parted to get the needed breaths of air.
He didn't want her. He never had. He was willing to give up the throne just to get out of having to marry her.
Leo wanted Katie. Wanted to make it up to her. Prove to her she is the only woman in his life.
We were never together. All I was was an obligation. A necessary step to the throne that he has no desire in claiming.
She felt like such a fool. She had tried to be affectionate. Allowed herself to fall for him. Hoped for a marriage different from her parents. Believed she had found it.
Never again. The only thing she would ever leave herself vulnerable was for her country, her people. Emotions had no place in being a ruler. Hadn't her father told her that repeatedly?
She stepped away from his door. Her pride decided to remind this Katie that there was something bigger here than the three of them. A country would need its future king and queen. It would need their offspring. It would need stability.
Cordonia was all she had left. Being given a chance to be its next queen was all she was good for.
She couldn't lose it now.

fanfiction recs
(last updated 12/24/2020.)
looking for fics starring or featuring The Only Character In Fire Emblem? wait no more! mostly raven/lucius, but there’s some gen fic too if that’s not your thing. :]
if you don’t see your favourites on this list, feel free to reblog/reply to this post with your own additions!
ship fic
cup runneth over by elibe - 12k. an angel!lucius lucius/raven au. I won’t spoil much, but this is one of my all-time favourites! beautifully written, unbelievably sweet. (CW: death, brief mentions of throwing up, non-explicit nsfw near the end)
“This — you — are my purpose,” Raven trips over his words. He feels nothing but the blazing heat of the flush that spreads across his skin. “Any other purpose eludes me. I — I am not a man deserving of mercy and grace and yet you have given me both wholeheartedly. You deserve better than this.”
“Then what is it that I deserve?” Lucius asks. His voice wavers and he clutches Raven’s hand like a vice.
“Love.” He answers breathlessly.
-> I’ll go ahead and cut this list in half by adding a recommendation for any of ao3 user elibe’s fic, their work is always a delight to read-- i’ll highlight the line, heat death and i need no ring by them.
namesakes by folkvangr (lusteralliance) - 1k. short and sweet, two dads naming their kids. :]
they did not have names; lucius told raven that he hoped to give them names soon. raven didn’t like referring to the children as “hey you” and “kid” all the time, so he secretly hoped to do so, too.
we'll build our house in a field of gold by elinciacrimea - 8k. fleshes out canon really nicely. Reading this fic always gives me a bit of a cozy feeling. I’ll go on to recommend a lot of this user’s work too, here’s a florina/lyn fic from them I love. (CW: mentions of suicide, and the circumstances around the fall of House Cornwell)
Several years after the events on the Dread Isle, Raven and Lucius pay a visit. Secrets are shared, love is discussed, and new futures are built.
for now by cavalry - 3k. explores a lot of the things I love about lucius’ character, plus a very soft established relationship lucius/raven. set between fe6 and fe7. (CW: In their own words, mentions of canon-typical violence (but nothing on-screen), and Lucius has a panic attack.)
Raven returns to the orphanage with gifts in tow.
Hail The Marquess! A Fire Emblem Story by SpareTimeEntertainment - 42k. Admittedly a bit of a cheat since lucius/raven is just a background ship in this one, but they’re very sweet in it. Cheesy in the best way. If you like Florina/Lyn, hijinks, and surprisingly engaging suspense and action, this feel-good story is for you. (CW: there are some brief scenes where someone is trying to coerce Lyn into getting married, but it’s resolved quickly and framed as a bad thing. also, people get drunk.)
Jubilation in Caelin! On the fourth anniversary of his ascension to the seat, the great Marquess Eliwood of Pherae is to be honoured on a night of celebrations hosted by his dear friend, the Lady Lyndis. But despite the lavish presentation for her honoured guest, Lyn's heart is torn. With her own lordship imminent and her seat of Caelin guaranteed, would-be courtiers are flocking like vultures - but the most heartfelt and unassuming one of all is Lyn's own dearly beloved Florina. Meek as ever, Florina would need a miracle - or a master plan - to win Lyn's heart. Fortunately for her, a familiar tactician just rode back into town...
Spare Time Entertainment is proud to present a romantic comedy - where the war of the heart is waged in cavalry charges of passion and phalanx formations of love, where old friends and familiar faces have just one night to enshrine a love long adored. It's a race against time (and a hell of a good time) in...
HAIL THE MARQUESS!
i want you to stay by ackermanx - 3k. a fun and heartwarming modern au. can it be considered a classic at this point...?? (also, not related to anything, but every time i read the author’s notes on this one I laugh a lot.) (CW: some discussion of religion, but it’s lighthearted.)
"Oh, is your sister leaving? A shame, I was going to talk to her about leading the choir. Although, you're still here, so I suppose that's enough."
Raven turns around at the sound of the familiar voice, making a strangled noise once he realizes just how close Lucius is. He's unable to tear his gaze away from the other male's sparkling eyes, the tiny curl of his lips as a smile spreads across his face -
Shit, Raven thinks. I do like Lucius.
By Your Side by pixelpiano - 1k. short and soft and sweet. also, trans!lucius!
Lucius and Raymond discuss the future...
gen
Soren's Fantastical Askran Adventures by fairmyrmidon - 4k. holds a special place in my heart. soren from fe9/10 and lucius becoming frends in askr!
Soren appears in Askr, intimidates the summoner, and frightens everyone except for a healer who is already experienced in dealing with foul attitudes.
A Lady's Generosity by estamir - 2k. super cute lucius/serra/matthew friendship!
Lucius is facing a rough winter at the orphanage he's opened in Araphen. Serra has other ideas
At sixteen you departed by tattedmariposa - 700. platonic lucius&priscilla, this author’s style is so captivating.
It was outside the healer's tent, in the time between afternoon and evening when the sun colored the earth warmly, where Priscilla finally gained the courage to ask.

If it’s almost the end of the year, and we think i can safely say that this has been an AMAZING year for fic in the rhink fandom! there have been so many incredible new authors, on top of authors that have been around for years who are still writing about our boys, and i wanted to give a little bit of recognition to some of my personal favorite fics written in 2019!
i am not in any way implying these are “the best” fics, just the ones that i’ve personally enjoyed. i’m mostly sticking to either completed mutli-chapter fics or longer one-shots, and i’m limiting myself to no more than one fic per author so i spread the love.
without further ado, my (personal) top rhink fics of 2019. (behind a cut, because this post is very long.)
-
If You’re Wondering If I Want You To by @ssodangdark Rating: Teen Chapters: 5 Words: 10,234
Summary: “The year is 2006 — you just crafted the perfect away message, The Fray is playing on your clock radio, and you're trying to figure out what band t-shirt to wear to school today. Meanwhile, two teenage boys meet for the first time and navigate their feelings for one another through the songs on one of their iPods.”
this fic is everything you could want in a high school au. it’s sweet, and full of pining, and comes with it’s own built-in soundtrack. i can’t recommend this fic enough. this fic is so sweet, you might get a cavity reading it.
Honorable Mentions: most of em’s other fics are oneshots, so i wanted to feature a longer fic, but i also have to acknowledge her oneshots too! Three’s a Crowd (rhett/link/jessie) and Chris Springs are two of my favorite fics and i would highly recommend reading them.
-
Don’t Hold Back by @likeaswitchinheat Rating: Explicit Chapters: 26 Words: 86,501
Summary: “Link has a lot of responsibilities resting on his gorgeous shoulders. It’s Rhett’s job to unburden him of all that. When Link is Rhett’s, he doesn’t have to think about a thing. Rhett will take care of him.”
laika is another ridiculously prolific author, and i’m actually ashamed that it took me until a few weeks ago to read this fic even though it’s been finished for months. this fic is basically half shameless filth and half feelings and angst, which is pretty much exactly what i look for in a fic. 
Honorable Mentions: i absolutely love all of laika’s oneshots, of which there are far too many to name, but i’ll put myself on blast for my particular tastes by giving special mention to Man Bites Dog and Selfie. 
-
Candids by @captainsourwolf Rating: Explicit Chapters: 8 Words: 19,635
Summary: “Rhett is a photographer fresh out of SCAD. He lands his first gig soon after graduation, just a simple print ad for a high school advertising their new senior class wear. At the shoot he meets in-demand fashion model Link Neal. It's tense from the start. Rhett ends up being his photographer on most of his shoots, and at every single one Rhett starts a collection of candid shots that he keeps for himself, in a box of trinkets he finds comforting.”
i absolutely loved this fic. i loved the premise, and the slowburn and build up, and the tender longing between rhett and link in this fic. i’m such a slut for pining, which is why this ultimately won out over a couple of elizabeth’s other fics, which are also very good. 
Honorable Mentions: a very close second for this my favorite fic of elizabeth’s was None Like This, but i ultimately had to give it to Candids because i’m a sucker for that softness. Aftercare and hump a little also deserve to be mentioned, too, if you’re looking for oneshots. 
-
Rhinestone Cowboy by @soho-x Rating: Explicit Chapters: 15 Words: 26,439
Summary: “If he was honest with himself, he could admit the glamour of being on tour for one of Country Music’s biggest acts had clouded his better judgement. He’d quickly dismissed all apprehensions regarding living in a conversion van for three months, instead focusing on the idea of working a stage during a live show, standing in the wings while country maverick Roy Walker played to crowds bigger than the population of the town Rhett grew up in. It was a dream come true for a small town boy like him.”
this fic hooked me right from the first chapter! i was absolutely in love with the premise of rhett and link as country music stars, and this fic did not disappoint. if you like tender slowburn and pining, you’ll absolutely love this fic. it killed me in the sweetest possible way.
Honorable Mentions: for how recently em jointed the fandom, she’s written a ton of fic! Stolen Moments, No Good Very Bad, #Dormlife, and Only For Your Very Space (unfinished) are some of my other favorites from her.

Apartment 69 by @apparentlynotreallyfinnish Rating: Explicit Chapters: 18 Words: 86,501
Summary: “Link has it all figured out. He has a plan for his life. He has a nice girlfriend and a nice job and a nice routine. It really doesn't mean anything that sometimes he gets off on watching men fuck each other. He's just curious. But when a famous gay porn star moves next door to him, his perfect plans start to fall apart.”
appa is one of the most prolific writers in the fandom, so it was really hard to narrow it down to just one fic from her. i actually almost put another fic of hers on here instead, but apartment 69 was the first fic of hers that i read, so i felt like i had to give it the edge over incognito if only for that.
this fic had me on the edge of my seat with every update, and it should be a testament to how much i loved this fic that i was genuinely shocked by how long it was, because i could have sworn it was less than 10 chapters. that’s how quickly i tore through it all.
Honorable Mentions: while i didn’t officially include them, i also want to mention her fics Incognito, I Only Want You to See Me (unfinished), NSFW, Wingman, and Let Me Be Your Light, as well as her entire library of oneshots. she is INCREDIBLY prolific so you can easily spend weeks going through her ao3 page and never run out of things to read.

remember that time in college I found your handcuffs? by @egocentrifuge Rating: Explicit Chapters: 3 Words: 10,435
Summary: “Rhett feels antsy, wants to leave this entire conversation about the fetish gear he found in their dorm behind, but he still wants to know despite his better judgement.
“Okay, the - dom? takes control of a scene. Why wouldn’t the dom just do whatever he wants?”
“Because it’s all about trust, man.” Link’s face is open and sincere in that way he only gets when he believes in something; Rhett can’t look away. “The sub trusts the dom to make it good for them, and so the dom does their best to. It can be a lot of pressure, but it’s - good, too, being able to make someone feel safe and taken care of, you know? For someone to be willing to be that vulnerable…”
Something in the way Link says it trickles warmly down Rhett’s spine, and he puts his beer down.
“Alright,” he says firmly. “Fine. I don’t understand it completely but that’s - that’s fine. As long as you’re both happy or whatever.” There are more questions Rhett wants to ask, but it’s - too much, for some reason. Not just knowing weird kinky details of Link’s sex life, but the way he’s talking about it.
It's twenty years before they discuss it again.”
eggsy has the market cornered on a very particular genre i like to call “porn that makes you cry.” this fic mostly gets the spot because a lot of eggsy’s other fics are much shorter and/or not on ao3, and for purposes of a fic rec, i really wanted to give something long enough to really sink your teeth into, but i an assure you that every single one of their fics should and would be on here if i didn’t limit myself to one fic per author.
eggsy packs an incredibly amount of feeling into a small amount of words, and strikes a perfect balance between hot, angsty, and loving. i cannot recommend eggsy’s work enough.
Honorable Mentions: what of eggsy’s fics isn’t an honorable mention? Reciprocation, You Know What They Say, Men Who Dress Like They Do in California, Reprobates, Unbuttoned, and literally everything on their tumblr (which has a lot of stuff that isn’t on their ao3).

The Murmur of Yearning by @its-mike-kapufty Rating: Explicit Chapters: 35 Words: 108,811
Summary: “When burnt-out professor Link Neal is offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that whisks him to the farthest reaches of the world, he isn't as ready as he thought he would be for the biting cold or the overwhelming darkness of Antarctica. Though at least he'd been given fair warning of those hazards.
The same couldn't be said of his new boss and research partner.”
mike has so many amazing fics that it by all rights should have been impossible to narrow it down to my one favorite, but honestly, this was a surprisingly easy choice. in spite of how much i love every single fic of mike’s, this one was so beautifully written and poignant, and i don’t think any other fic has ever made me cry the way this fic did. it hurts — in the best possible way.
i started reading this fic one evening after work, and was so captivated by it that i stayed up until 3 am, passed out midway through a chapter, then went home early from work the next day (sick! i was legitimately sick!) and laid in bed with a fever reading through the rest of this fic. the last written work i plowed through with that kind of speed and determination was harry potter and the deathly hallows...ten years ago. 
Honorable Mentions: truthfully i could just link to mike’s whole ao3 page here, but i have to at least give special mention to You Have (1) New Message for making me sob (and being the first fic of mike’s that i read), Feel Good for being delightfully fluffy and soft, Untethered for being so incredibly creative and exciting and having me on the edge of my seat for the entire month it was coming out, and And Sundowns Mend Rhett for making me feel things, as mike is wont to do.

The Traveler by @the-average-bear Rating: Mature Chapters: 13 Words: 52,712
Summary: “Rhett's on a journey.”
this fic is probably tied with The Murmur of Yearning for my favorite rhink fic of all time, but i had to give The Traveler the edge only because it’s not...quite an au, and while both fics gave me a lot of feelings, this fic focuses on the rhett and link we know and love. it explores what might have been and what could be — and it touches on my favorite genre of fiction, which is sci-fi. 
rhett finds himself accidentally traveling between timelines, exploring what his life could have been like under different circumstances. the build up to the rhink content is slow, and while there’s some smut, it’s pretty minimal, so this is a very different type of fic than a lot of the others here. but god, if you want to feel every feeling possible about these boys, if you want to cry, if you want to be overwhelmed by how much rhett loves link (and vice versa)...? 
please, please read this fic. 
Honorable Mentions: a lot of their other stuff is from pre-2019 so it’s kind of cheating to rec them on a post of the best fics of 2019, but seriously, please read any and all of their stuff.

Sun, Moon, Stars, and My Love:
Chapter 1: Nightmarish Day and Acidic Dreams
[A.N.: I know an author's note is very outdated, but I haven't written fanfiction for a very long time. Please forgive my grammar and story building. It's been easily a decade since I've written fanfiction, and I'm trying to get back into it thanks to my new favorite game. This story is (hopefully) going to be a slow burn fic of Vicar Max x My captain of the Unreliable. (Cyrus Adler).]
Panic and fear... those were the twins that were plaguing Captain Adler's sleep. Those feelings and the many faces he's put bullets in. So many lives snuffed out. Marauders. Raiders. Many people. So many people. All he ever wanted to do was fix things for people.
His heart played against him when he could be afforded rest. The fear of getting his companions killed. This time it was no different. His subconscious was playing out a story of himself standing idly by as Vicar Max bled out. Max was begging him for help. The Cyrus in his subconscious just watched as the good Vicar's skin grew pale and he breathed his last breath.
Cyrus jolted out of his sleep with a cry, his heart was beating and his eyes were darting frantically around the room. He was safe. He was at home on the Unreliable. Cyrus's memory came surging back from the dream and he felt hot tears well up in his violet eyes. The breath was knocked out of him and he began to sob into his pillow.
It was moments like these he was thankful he covered ADA's camera with a blanket. Cyrus couldn't handle the idea of the crew knowing his problems... or knowing he was weak. 'I fix things and people. I am not... I do not want them to have to fix me.'
Cyrus spent half an hour recovering from his dream before he got dressed in his best armor and grabbed his favorite weapons. He paused to gaze at himself in the reflection of his black terminal screen. Dark circles were present under his eyes and a frown was etched into the corners of his lips. Slowly, he drew in a breath and forced a smile. He knew this forced smile would easily trick Parvati into believing he was alright, but it was really the good Vicar he was worried about. Max has always seemed to see right through him as if he were transparent.
Though... 'Vati has always been more wise than those innocent doe eyes let on...
'It'll be okay, just a normal mission he picked up on Monarch. Raptidon Dtalkers have been spitting acid on machinery that Sanjar has been using to defend against Marauders. Kill as many as possible, get paid with a shit ton of Bits, and get a drink at the Yacht Club.'
He breathed out a slow breath and ran his fingers through his short crimson curls. 'It'll be easier than playing Tossball.'
Quickly, Cyrus left his quarters and approached the cockpit, trauma crossed his face when he saw S.A.M. "cleaning" ADA's panels. "Oh, yes, S.A.M. it's been so long since my panels have been cleaned." ADA said in a voice that could easily be mistaken for pleasure. Grossgrossgrossgross.
Cyrus b-lined across the hall to the storage bay, his disgust dissipating as soon as he saw Parvati.
"Hey," he greeted, "suit up, we make ground fall in 15."
"Have you seen the good Vicar this morning? He's coming with." Cyrus rubbed the back of his neck. The redhead always got fidgety when talking about Max or even discussing him, especially today. There was this little voice in the back of his mind, whispering his worst nightmares.
"Sure thing, cap!" Her grin was so bright. She was like the sunshine after a rainy day. Honestly, it just made Cyrus more protective over her. She reminded him of the daughter he left behind on Earth. Even their shared passion for engineering reminded him of Olive.
"Have you seen Max? He's coming with."
Cyrus rubbed the back of his neck, an odd fidget he picked up since being thawed out. Especially whenever he spoke about the good Vicar. Everytime he mentioned Max, or looked at Parvati there was this little voice whispering about his worst nightmares.
'What if you get them killed, hm? Do they deserve to die just because they tag along with you?'
It was enough to make his heart race hard and the breath leave his lungs.
"Yeah, he's been sleepin' in his quarters still."
Quickly, Cyrus nodded and scaled the ladders up to the rec area and to the hall with the various crew quarters. As he reached Maximilian's room he quickly used the emergency inhaler. Once the air was back into his lungs he lightly knocked at the metallic door.
"Max? You awake?" Cy called through the metal. There was brief shuffling of feet on the other side of the door before they slid open, revealing the preacher man himself.
"Do you need something, Captain? I am really quite immersed in a certain text at the moment and would rather not be interrupted." Though his words were stern his tone was gentle, making the tense captain slightly relax.
"I wanted to take you with me for a mission on Monarch. If you are willing to come, suit up. We're going ground side in 10."
The preacher man briefly paused before nodding, offering the smallest smile to Cyrus, "alright I'll come with, captain. I'll be ready shortly."
A smile came to the captains features and he nodded, "I'll see you at the door then." Cyrus turned and quickly walked way, breathing out a breath he barely knew he was holding. He made his way down the stairs and stood by the ship door, awaiting his landing party.
Within ten minutes Parvati and Max showed up in full gear, well... except for their helmets.
"Why aren't either of you helmeted?" Cyrus prodded, disturbed at the thought of them leaving without the most basic of protection.
"Felix decided to put itching powder in our helmets as an attempt of a prank." Max said, sounding thoroughly irritated.
Fear and anxiety bubbled in the captains chest. So many things could happen to his companions under his watch. Slowly he breathed out and said, "we shouldn't need helmets mostly if we do this cleanly and quickly."
He quickly left the ship and they made their way on foot to the location. As told by Sanjar there were Raptidon Stalkers, but also there was a Mantiqueen and her drones. That was an unexpected twist, and his companions took the brunt of what Cyrus would call a mantis attack. What felt like hours was really seconds as he witnessed the Mantiqueen attack his companions and he also watched the two crumple to the ground unconscious.
Cyrus would be lying if he didn't say he saw red, but... he also had this uncontrollable drive to throw himself over them until an Adreno did it's job. With shaking quick hands he switched from his light weapon to a heavy massive gun. With little control he unleashed a hellfire rain of electric rounds on the Mantiqueen and her drones.
They fell quick with the barrage. Only managing to lightly char the captain. As they fell Cyrus threw his weapons aside and scrambled to Parvati first, injecting her with Adreno. The bleeding quickly stopped and she began to stir, but Cyrus was already kneeled over Max when he remembered the acid spitting maniac creatures. He remembered painfully as one of the creatures spit acid up his back, and his own armor, being well worn, failed him in protecting him from the painful acid.
Cyrus couldn't help but to let out a scream of pain, which jarred the good Vicar out of his unconsciousness. Max moved quickly as Cyrus applied some adreno into his emergency inhaler and took it. Whatever bleeding there was stopped and he was alright enough to grab his shotgun and succeed in their mission.
Parvati still wasn't conscious which worried Cyrus more than his acid burns. He lightly scooped her up and started to make his way back to the ship without uttering a word to Max. Of course, the good Vicar was worried, but for different reasons. Max knew that the captain and Ellie, the ship's medic, didn't get along well. He was worried Cyrus would be stubborn and refuse treatment from Ellie... or Architect forbid pretend like he didn't have an injury whatsoever. He couldn't allow the captain that grounded him when he was at his weakest to just suffer needlessly.
Meanwhile, as soon as Cyrus boarded the Unreliable he brought Parvati to Ellie's quarters and demanded she get treated. Ellie was quick to work on Parvati, but the captain went about his work as well, programming the ship to land at the Stellar Bay landing pad. Afterwards, Cyrus went to his quarters and peeled his damaged armor and under clothes off. Even the cool air of his quarters pained him as he laid chest down on his bed.
Vicar Max felt a certain amount of responsibility for the captains injuries. After all, the captain was protecting him when he received his injuries. Max gathered some Auntie Cleo's medical cream that would soothe the burns. Lightly he knocked at the door of the captains quarters, and without listening for the captains voice he let himself into the room. Briefly he stopped to gaze out the massive windows before gently stating, "Captain, I am aware you and Ellie do not get along... and I feel responsible for your injuries. So... if you'll have me, I'd like to... help you."
Cyrus lifted his head a bit and looked over his shoulder as the Vicar spoke. Softly he sighed but nodded, "alright..."
Max relaxed a bit before sitting at the side of Cyrus's bed and began spreading the cream across the burns. His hands worked delicately. At first Cyrus flinched hard at the touch, but eventually relaxed as the pains from the burns disappeared.
'I... miss being touched so gently... so warmly and tenderly...'
Slowly he drifted into a deep sleep and as Max noticed that he smiled faintly. "Rest well, captain... you deserve it." Lightly he set the cream aside and briefly considered something before leaving one of his favorite books on Cyrus's desk.
With a smile on his features, the good Vicar took his leave to let Captain Adler rest.

Votes should be open for the first week of july, I think. I'll edit here when they close.
---
1- Pride
What Shiro felt when Keith came back looking so grown up and strong and confident should have been pride, shouldn’t it? Pride that the young cadet he had taken under his wing earlier had grown to his full potential, not only an amazing pilot, but also a strong leader. You just needed to look at how the team was eagerly listening to his explanations and discussing his plans to see it. And Shiro was proud, of course he was.
What he hadn’t expected was to stumble on his words like an idiot because he found his best friend so hot.
2- Meet again
Keith would have hugged Shiro if the situation wasn’t so dire. But they have to stop Lotor first. No time to get emotional. Even if he has missed Shiro immensely.
It seems to be always like that with Shiro and him. They keep being torn apart, but they always find each other again. He remembers saving Shiro after his disappearance in the Kerberos mission; and their reunion when he had been missing after the fight against Zarkon. And now, after Keith was stuck in the Quantum Abyss.
He knows he will always find Shiro. As many times as it takes.
3- Long hair Shiro
When Keith helped him out of the galra ship, Shiro felt weirdly self-conscious. His hair was too long and greasy; he would have needed a shave; his skin was sticky and his own stench made him uncomfortable. That didn’t seem to bother Keith as much as it should have; he didn’t shy away from holding Shiro close.
“Don’t look at me...” he muttered, his parched tongue making the words indistinct. Keith said something, and the rest of the team cleared the room. Coran left last, after insisting that Shiro was too starved for the pods. Only Keith stayed with him.
4- Distance
3 billion miles. The current distance between the Earth and Kerberos. Keith thought about that number often, while watching the stars in the clear sky of the desert. He wished this was a distance he could cover with his hoverbike. He knew Shiro was out there, possibly in danger. He refused to believe he was dead.
After being kicked out of the Garrison, his last chance to go to space seemed to have vanished. Sometimes he thought of stealing a spacecraft from the Garrison; he knew that even if he managed to pull it off, he wouldn’t go far alone.
5- Sunset / sunrises
Shiro was clutching his side, which was both burning and feeling numb, a strange sensation. He felt his consciousness slip away, and he knew he wouldn’t survive for long on that desert planet; not hurt like he was. He could only hope Keith would outlive him long enough for the rest of the team to rescue him. The young paladin was resourceful and resilient, so Shiro trusted him to survive. He would be a great leader, and Shiro’s only regret was to not being able to witness it.
It seemed like a fitting end, watching the sunset alone with Keith.
6- Monsters & Mana
“Thanks for saving me again”, said Jiro.
“Always”, answered Thunderstorm Darkness. “You have done the same for me.”
“Of course I did.” answered Jiro, softly. They shared a long hug.
“Pleaaase stop flirting with your characters.” complained Pidge.
“Wha… what? They’re not flirting!” protested Keith.
“They’re just friends.” added Shiro nervously. “They help each other.”
“Sure, like you and Keith are just friends, I guess” replied Pidge, the sarcasm in her voice thick enough to cut with a knife.
“Well, yeah.” replied Keith, tone deaf as always for that kind of things.
Hunk grunted. Coran let out a long sigh.
7- Drunk dialing / wrong number
“I missed you, Shiro. I’m glad to be back.” admitted Keith.
“Keith, please don’t use the Atlas’ general hailing frequency for personal communication.”
It was Veronica, not Shiro, on the screen. Despite her formal tone, he could see her grin. Behind her, Acxa was rolling her eyes, Curtis was blushing, and Iverson was looking purposefully away.
“Good to have you back, Keith” answered Shiro warmly, undisturbed by his crew.
Keith didn’t get it either. What he had said wasn’t that bad, after all.
“It’s not what you say, it’s the way you say it”, Hunk had once tried to explain.
8- Battle / fight
Seeing Keith getting beaten up during the first part of the trials had been hard enough. Shiro had ground his teeth and held back for Keith's sake. This was Keith's choice, and Shiro didn't want to stand in his way. It still felt like dying inside watching his friend get hurt.
Seeing Keith unconscious on the ground while Shiro's image was used against him had been too far. Now they were using Keith's trauma about his parents, and that was unacceptable. Even Red was furious. Shiro would fight the entire Blade of Marmora to get Keith out of their claws.
9-Pining / Mutual pining
“I think... I always loved him. From the beginning,“ admitted Keith, thoughtfully. “At the time, I didn't really understand it, but...” He trailed off.
“Maybe you should tell him?” suggested Romelle.
Keith let out a breathless laugh. “No. He doesn't see me like that.”
“Hu. Are you sure?” replied Romelle, dubiously.
---
“I know I shouldn't see him that way”, Shiro tried to explain to Matt. “To him, I'm some kind of big brother, he trusts me. If he knew what I feel for him, it would ruin our friendship.”
“Are you serious?!” growled Matt, slamming his beer on the bar.
10-Denial
“Sooo… how was your date?” Pidge's carefully casual tone was a trap.
Shiro realized he was still holding Keith's hand and swiftly let it go. “P...Pidge! It wasn't a date.”
“Yeeaaah, right. So what were you doing?” It was going to be difficult to get out of this discussion if Hunk paired up with Pidge. It didn't help that Keith was leaving all the defense to Shiro, arms crossed and expression sulky.
“We. Were looking for resources.”
“Did you find any?” Hunk retorted.
“Not really.”
“Maybe you'd find more in daylight.” insinuated Pidge. “But I'm sure the stars were pretty.”
11- Cooking
One night, at the Garrison, Keith noticed a burning smell in the air. He hurried down the corridor. Dark clouds of smoke were crowding under the ceiling, and Keith’s heart jumped in his throat.
He teared a fire extinguisher off the wall and sprinted in direction of the kitchen, where the smoke was coming from.
Inside, the smoke was so dense you could hardly see; his eyes were watering and he started to cough.
“I’m so sorry!” exclaimed Shiro as he opened a window. “I was trying to make mac-and-cheese”.  In the sink, a blackened plate was all that remained.
12- Confessions
Seeing Keith in his hospital bed was jarring. He was uncharacteristically quiet in his sleep. On his pale cheek, the scar stood out blatantly.
Keith suddenly became agitated. Shiro was starting to worry, but Keith opened his eyes, saw him, and calmed instantly.
“Shiro...”
“Keith… I’m sorry.”
Keith blinked, confused. “For what?”
Shiro hesitated. He brushed Keith’s scar. “For hurting you.”
“It wasn’t your fault.” Keith frowned. “You remember what I told you?”
“That I was your brother.”
Keith scoffed. “That I love you. Not really...as a brother.”
“I love you too.” replied Shiro, before realizing what he was saying.
13- Astral Plane
Time didn’t really exist, on the astral plane. Shiro didn’t know how long he had been there. Both dead, and existing here, in this strange place. Sometimes, he felt himself dissolve in the lion’s consciousness, aside from when he was in contact with the team. When the team formed Voltron, or when they had called out to him, he felt more solid. He felt the most like he was existing when Keith was piloting Black, of course. He tried so many times to reach out to Keith.
When Keith finally joined him on the astral plane, Shiro felt alive again.
14- Soulmates
Black was the only one to know Shiro and Keith had held hands in the astral plane. The only one, because they had not realized it. And they had no idea of the implications, either. Of two souls touching, directly. Not in a fight, but out of love. The way Keith had so easily reached the astral plane through his connection with Shiro. The way Shiro had been able to materialize enough to put his hand on his shoulder. How they had held hands afterward. Black already knew they were soulmates. But how could they still be unaware of it?
15- Festivities
When the war ended, there were festivities for weeks all through the universe. Keith could understand this. But in big cities, it implied lots of excited people in the streets. Too bad that, for diplomatic reasons, they often ended up in big cities. And the team always wanted to enjoy the festivities once the formalities were over.
And now, he had lost Shiro. They were walking together, and suddenly, he wasn’t there anymore.
Shiro came back, holding two pastries. Keith let out a relieved sigh. “I hate crowds.” he grumbled.
“Should we go home?”
“No. It’s fine if you’re here.”
16- Overworked
“I thought that meeting would never end,” confessed Shiro.
Keith sighed. “Yeah. And I still have paperwork due tomorrow...”
“I know, me too...” Shiro checked Matt’s last message on his phone. “You know what? The team is chilling in the rec. room, we could join them and work there.”
“We won’t get any work done.”
“We could give it a try!”
“Fine”
“Told you we wouldn’t work!”
“Well, it’s late, but let’s try to get it done now!”
“Are… Are those the Captain of the Atlas and the Leader of Voltron cuddling on the couch?”
“Shhh. Don’t wake them up.”
17- Waking up together
When waking up, Shiro was startled to find arms around him; he was lost for a moment, before recognizing Keith. He remembered his nightmares, and how Keith had heard his panic from his  room -the Castle’s walls were not exactly soundproof. Keith had come and helped Shiro calm down. They must have fallen asleep together.
Keith was still sleeping, snoring softly. Shiro brushed his dark hair away from his forehead. Keith moved slightly, but didn’t wake up. Shiro smiled. He still marveled that, after all that happened, he had Keith at his side again, even so far away from home.
18- Folklore, myths & legends
Do you know the legend of Voltron?
Of course you do. The Robot that freed the Universe.
But, do you know about it’s pilots? No? Let me tell you of two of them, then. Let me tell the tale of the Black Paladins, who both piloted the Black Lion, head of Voltron. Let me tell you about their love, that was stronger than death itself. Let me tell you about how fate tried over and over to separate them, and how they always found each other again. Let me tell you how their love saved us. Gather around, and listen.
19- Fist dates / blind dates
It was the early hours of the morning, and most of the wedding guests had gone. Only their closest friends remained – the paladins, Matt, Romelle… They were watching the sunrise together, quietly sipping the fresh juices a waiter had brought them. Keith was a little hungover, but the headache didn’t matter: he was greeting the morning with his husband.
“What I always wondered was… when did you two start dating?” asked Lance.
“After the war” said Keith.
“No, we already dated on Clear Day, remember?” replied Shiro.
“That was a date?”
“I’m pretty sure you were dating before” stated Allura.
20- Shenanigans with Kosmo
Kosmo was was really good at guessing Keith’s moods. And he had his own ways of helping him out when his spirits were not so high. Frequently, it involved Shiro.
“Hi Keith!” said Shiro when a grumpy, half asleep Keith was teleported in the training room.
“Hi Keith!” said Shiro when an exhausted, sweaty Keith in training gear was teleported in the middle of a Garrison meeting.
“Hi Keith” said Shiro when a brooding Keith was teleported beside him on the couch.
“Goodnight, Keith”, whispered Shiro when a fast asleep Keith still in his uniform was teleported into their bed.
21- fix-it
“Be with the ones you love”, Shiro had advised. And Keith had panicked. He had hugged his mom, and had hidden in the desert. Well, if you can “hide” on top of a giant mechanical lion.
Shiro was busy with Garrison business, and Keith didn’t want to bother him. They still hadn’t  talked about what had happened at the clone facility, and he wasn’t sure if Shiro had understood what Keith really meant- or even if he remembered.
Keith’s heart jumped when he heard a hoverbike approaching.
“You’re here”, he whispered when Shiro joined him.
“Of course” answered Shiro softly.
22-seasonal
“What's that?”
“Takoyaki. Just try it.”
Shiro scoffed when Keith's eyes widened in surprise while tasting the food; he hastily went for more. It didn't help that he looked ridiculously cute in a yukata; Shiro was glad he had convinced him to wear one. “I knew you'd like this.”
They walked in silence for a moment.
“Did you… enjoy these summer festivals when you lived here?” wondered Keith.
“Yes, I loved them! My Granddad always took me. Good memories.” Keith nodded. Shiro continued. “Thank you for coming. It's good to make new memories with you.”
“Thank you for inviting me.”
23- canon alternate reality
When Sven opened his eyes, he recognized the space hospital. Slav was curled up, asleep on a nearby chair. In the other chair was…
“Sven!” exclaimed Akira. His desperate tone as well as the worried curve of his brow made guilt  tighten Sven’s throat. “I came as soon as I heard!”
“I’m sorry. I’m fine!” Sven exclaimed.
“No, you’re not! You’ve been shot!”
“I had to protect Lance!”
Akira blinked, and looked even more concerned. “Lance wasn’t with you.”
“Not this Lance.” He chuckled at Akira’s puzzled expression. “You wouldn’t believe what happened to us.”
“Well, you’d better tell me.”
24-Monsters
Waking up after a transformation was always painful and scary; even more so for Keith when he found himself lying on dry leaves in the forest rather than in the basement where he usually secured himself for the full moon. But Shiro being there too… that had to be the worst ever.
Despite the horror of Shiro knowing the truth about him, Keith’s first reflex was to hide as much as he could in the cover he was rolled in -before realizing that Shiro had to be the one who wrapped his naked body in it in the first place.
25-Rockband AU
The group had been less than enthusiastic about taking Keith in as a second guitarist, but Shiro was convinced of Keith’s talent, and he had been right. The young punk was a diamond in the raw, and since he joined the group, their popularity was off the charts.
He didn’t get along that well with the others, but they could work on that. Lance might complain about Keith being a show-off, but the public did love his solos. And Allura could keep accusing Shiro of being biased towards Keith… they still had found the new sound they were searching for.

Hi! I'm trying to go through Classic Who and was wondering what some good serials to start off with would be, in your opinion? From a variety of Doctors, if that's okay.
Great question. It’s hard for me to boil 27 years into a quick watchlist, but I’ll do my best to give you a good sampler with good stories, watershed events, and most classic companions. I’ll boldface my top rec for each Doctor.
My suggestion is to try 2 top-recommended stories for each of the classic Doctors, and then watch more of whichever Doctor/companions catch your fancy.
Rec list below the cut: 
First Doctor
I always wrestle with where to start newbies.
Unearthly Child is such a good launch, especially the first half hour. It establishes that the Doctor has a lot to learn from humans! But if you find the later episodes of that story a bit draggy, it's okay to skip ahead to when the show hits its stride.Here:
The Aztecs (Barbara, Ian, Susan): First TARDIS team, classic historical, first to grapple with ethics of altering history. Excellent story.
The Romans (Barbara, Ian, Vicki): Lighthearted historical with a lot of moments to make you grin.
The Time Meddler (Steven, Vicki): Another fun one, first to introduce another Time Lord (although at the time, the showrunners hadn’t decided that the Doctor wasn’t human; the “Time Lord” concept was introduced in the second Doctor’s final episode.).
Second Doctor
I know this era the least, because almost all its episodes were lost when I was a kid, and I still need to catch up on recons and recovered stories. A pity, because Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and Peter Capaldi all look back to Patrick Troughton as their Doctor.
I’m still playing catch-up, but I warmly suggest:
Power of the Daleks (Ben, Polly) I’m not quite sure about this rec. It’s the first regeneration story ever, totally lost apart from the soundtrack, recently reconstructed using 1960s-comics-style animation. The visuals may not be your cup of tea, but it’s a good story. I guess this is another, “Try it, see if it works for you, and if not, move on.”
Enemy of the World (Jamie, Victoria) WATCH THIS. NO SERIOUSLY. It’s alarmingly topical, and Pat Troughton is amazeballs. Remember it’s 50 years old now.
The Mind Robber (Jamie, Zoe) a goofier, more lighthearted entry than most of my suggestions, but if you have a sense of humour, it’s a lot of fun. It reminds me that (a) Who was primarily a kids’s show smart enough for the whole family to enjoy and (b) early television was like watching a stage play;  you had to suspend disbelief, tolerate flat sets and basic props, and fill in the rest with your imagination. Our minds were the CGI of early TV.
Third Doctor
Three was my first Doctor, so from here on it gets difficult for me to be choosy.
Spearhead from Space (Liz, Brig) for sure; it’s the intro of the UNIT era and a good regeneration story. Keep in mind what a radical departure this was; not only was it in colour, but it was the first time the Doctor and companions had left at the end of one season and been replaced with an entirely new cast in the next. The Doctor was now Earthbound, working with UNIT. The Time Lords had just been established in the previous (10 episode long!) serial.
Inferno (Liz, Brig) is widely regarded and a heck of a story, with some unforgettable moments, but it’s another that’s about one episode longer than it needs to be according to modern tastes.
Terror of the Autons (Jo, Brig, Benton) introduces Jo AND the Master. Good story. Watch it. :)
The Three Doctors was the tenth anniversary special, and I love it, goofy monsters, ham acting, campy villain and all. William Hartnell passed away not long after.
Fourth Doctor
This is especially hard to pick and choose because Tom’s era spanned seven years, and he had so many good companions and watershed stories. You don’t have to hit all of these; I just have trouble choosing.
Genesis of the Daleks (Harry, Sarah Jane) for sure, introduction of Davros. Unusually dark but important story, a real watershed.
The Brain of Morbius (Sarah Jane) is a solid Four-era adventure introducing the Sisterhood of Karn and another problematic Time Lord. It’s not a pivotal story so much as “this is absolutely classic classic Who, and good entertainment.” 
Hand of Fear is Sarah Jane’s final story. It’s a good sendoff, even if the writers had forgotten she was a tough bird; she shrieks more than I’d like. The final scene is embedded in the hearts of all Whovians of my generation. Our Sarah Jane.
The Deadly Assassin (just about the only solo Doctor serial): I waffle on whether to recommend this because it’s slow in spots, but it probably did the most to establish Gallifrey canon of any story, since it’s the first story that takes place on Gallifrey. 
The Face of Evil introduces Leela. And you can skip it. No really, it’s simply a good adventure, and I hate for you to miss Leela altogether.
The Pirate Planet (Romana I, K9) is hilariously over the top, a farce penned by the inimitable Douglas Adams, author of Hitchhiker’s Guide. Bonus: drinking game with the phrase “MIISTER FIBULIIIII!” Except that might land you in a hospital, so never mind.
The City of Death (Romana II) contains a lot of running through the streets of Paris and Tom Baker and Lalla Ward flirting shamelessly. Nevertheless, it’s a good story with an unusually good secondary cast. A fan favorite. Watch for the John Cleese cameo!
Drat, that’s too many Tom Bakers already, so I guess I shouldn’t say Keeper of Traken. But I’m gonna, because I’m biased. (It’s Nyssa’s intro, a Shakespearean tragedy with an interesting villain. More importantly, Anthony Ainley, the next Master, plays her father.)
Fifth Doctor
Castrovalva is the best regeneration story. Yes, I’m biased, but that sequence with Peter Davison wandering around the TARDIS imitating the Doctors he grew up watching is a great intro.
Earthshock (Adric, Tegan, Nyssa) I haven’t given you any Cybermen stories yet, have I? Watch this one. I refuse to spoil why; I’ve already spoiled the first cliffhanger (it had been seven years since the previous Cybermen story, and nobody was expecting them).
The Five Doctors (Tegan, Turlough, and everybody else) is the 20th anniversary special that brought back as many Doctors, companions and monsters as it possibly could. Pure fanservice, but fun for all that. Plus more Gallifrey worldbuilding.
Caves of Androzani (Peri) is often voted the best classic Who story ever. Not sure about that, but the directing in this one is so much better than most of the era it hurts. Even if modern audiences are no longer used to characters addressing the camera; it was a convention back then.
Sixth Doctor
Poor Colin; I love his audios but I haven’t gone back and watched his TV serials since the 80s. The two I remember as especially good are:
The Two Doctors (Jamie, Peri) - Colin Baker collides with Patrick Troughton. Not to mention Jackie Pearce, who played the arch-villain of Blake’s 7.
Vengeance on Varos (Peri) - keep in mind that so-called Reality TV was almost two decades away
Seventh Doctor
I loved the quirky first season of the Seventh Doctor era, but most people don’t. Delta and the Bannermen (Mel) was apparently penned under the influence of recreational substances, and I love it, but again, most people don’t. Happiness Patrol is another “I love it, but most people don’t” story.
These are safer, quality bets:
Battlefield. (Ace) WATCH IT. NO SERIOUSLY. Last Brig appearance on classic Who. A+ would recommend, if nothing else for the fact that Who clued in to having a diverse (and good) cast. Watch for Ace’s gal pal of the week. ;) 
Remembrance of the Daleks (Ace) was originally meant as the 25th anniversary special. The Doctor returns to Coal Hill School for the first time since Unearthly Child. There’s Daleks and the famous Unlimited Rice Pudding speech. Ace kicks Dalek ass.
Survival. Last classic Who ever. A Master story. Ace’s gal of the week is none other than Lisa Bowerman (Big Finish director, also plays Bernice Summerfield) disguised as a furry. Despite the naff costuming, it’s a good story, and the scriptwriter was slipping in as much lesbian subtext as she could get away with in the 80s (according to an interview).
Eighth Doctor
By all means, watch the TV movie, despite its flaws. When it came out, my friends compained, “Stop trying to appeal to Americans by making Doctor Who more American! We’re Anglophiles!” And I lamented, “This is the opposite of Doctor Who: The FX are superb [well, they were then] but the dialogue is mediocre!”  Nevertheless, we all loved Paul McGann as the Doctor and were angry on his behalf that he hadn’t been given a better script to reboot the franchise.
My opinion of the 1997 movie has risen considerably over the years, but it’s still a bit rocky.
And of course you have to see Night of the Doctor, but it’s only seven minutes. Perfect Paul.
Edited to add: Nobody is grading you on your hobby. Or if they are, F ’em. You are allowed to pick and choose! There is so much Who now that it’s pretty much impossible to see, read and listen to all of it. Different eras of the show have different styles and appeal to different tastes. So watch what gives you joy. Just remember there are overlooked gems in every period.
