Hi @vevstweeter! (Sorry, I'm not sure the tag is working? 😅 I think it's a problem on my end, though 😅 So don't worry!)

If it's DLS fanfic you're after specifically, I may have some recs, because I love this book A Normal Amount

Here are the DLS fics in English on AO3, and here are the fics in Russian on Ficbook, sorted by recently updated (click here for those same fics, but sorted by readers and with crossovers excluded)

(About Ficbook: they only allow fics in Russian, but using a translator, it's fairly easy to use. Google Chrome translates it automatically, afaik, but on Firefox, I use this extension!

They allow you to include or exclude certain pairings and tags, just like AO3. I usually don't mess much with the tags section, but the pairings one is easy to use because it opens a box with all the characters in that specific fandom, so all you have to do is select them one at a time, and then click "Confirm Pairing" (leave the "take into account the order of the characters within the pairings" unselected).

Also, on Ficbook, when you go into a fandom's works, a few fics with a yellow crown label (like these ⬇️) will appear on top. They are "Hot Works", and they bypass the sorting order you chose, as far as I remember. So don't be alarmed by those)

Okay, NOW. For specific DLS fic recommendations. I'll go by pairing (though I don't have many for all of them 😅). Fics in Russian will be in purple. And I'll put it under the cut for convenience:

Vlad/MC

AlyaLi has a few Vlad/Laia fics. Some highlights: this one (18+) where Laia is an intern in Paris and Vlad is her French boss (very atmospheric), and this smutty one-shot (18+) where they meet in a hotel. Attention!: this author tends to portray Leo in an OOC/somewhat bashing manner!

Blood Is Thicker Than Water by raev - Two unconnected one-shots. In the first one, Vlad can feel what Laia feels. In the second one, they talk about The Count of Monte Cristo. Just. Just trust me, ok, it's really good. The author captured their dynamic in a really compelling way (in the second one especially).

Forget-Me-Not (18+) by whitebuttercup - My favorite ongoing fic there. Role reversal AU where Lale made the contract.

I know who you are by Wandering Fox - s1 finale fix-it where Laia is very supportive of Vlad right away. Quite heart-warming to read!

Feelings that you give (18+) by S_ksenia_sas - Multi-chapter fic where Laia and Vlad try to break the contract. The smut on chapter 3 is so good imo, man

Not Guilty by Shaherezada Hlamudova - one-shot, s1 finale canon divergence where Vlad bites Laia instead

On the importance of hugs by Olesya_4669 - One-shot where Laia finds out Vlad can't touch her. Quite cute!

And every time I thought not to lose you (18+) by my darkest dreams - A fusion of DLS, Dracula Untold (2014), and Van Helsing (2004). Honestly, a world of its own, including Noe/Original Female Character, Leo being called something else for the most part of the later chapters, and a pretty significant change in Laia's life. I recommend it for the growth in Laia, the beautiful friendship between the trio, and how good the Vlad/Laia moments are.

Leo/MC

Like the Ones I Used to Know by HeartofArcanum - Fluffy Christmas fic where Leo and MC (Lyra) try to make baklava for Vlad. Gets their dynamic super right in the sense that these two dumbasses will not stop flirting, bless their hearts 😂 It's very good and very heartwarming 🥹

Excuse Me, This Is My Room by squid-princess-teach-swallow - The cute first meeting they deserved! Highlights: Leo in a towel and MC (Mavis) being a relatable dumbass (affectionate) 🙏‍🙌

Promises (18+) by bleedlikeme - Really good series of one-shots covering one moment/aspect of their relationship. Some chapters were lk heartbreaking. It's been a while since I read this one, but I remember losing my mind over it and forcing my friend to read it (she was glad she did)

Tales of lions and dragons (18+) by Troll - One-shot that goes over a bit of Aslan and Lale's first meeting and them in present time. Quite poetic/atmospheric!

Vlad/Leo

Hunger (18+) by Sweater Nosferatu - 7 almost canon compliant chapters that switch between Leo/Vlad in the present and Aslan/Vlad in the past. I remember thinking it was really well written, and that I wanted to learn how to structure/plan a fic as effectively as this one is. Laia/Lale is also treated really well!

Vlad/MC/Leo

Desire Is Different (when you were born hungry) (18+) by marauders_groupie - Not being able to touch Vlad has been taking its toll on Laia, so Noe's logical solution is to arrange a threesome between Vlad, Laia and Leo. This fic is so so so so good. The smut??? It's prime smut. It's just so good. Please do yourself a favor and read it 🙏

My Heart (18+) by Sweater Nosferatu - 7 chapters, getting together fic. It was really touching and really well written. Please read it

Fireflies by austen. - Short one-shot where Vlad is merrily poetic over his two soulmates

Noe/MC

BorgiaBarbie is the one you're looking for. Her fics always carry this subtle, but extremely effective, sense of humor. I also think she portrays the dynamics between all the characters really well! Highlights: this cute short one set in Valentine's Day, this one set in Halloween set after 3x13, and this one set post-break up

Mehmed/MC

On the Edge of the Abyss by Little_Romantic - Three unconnected one-shots where Mehmed and Lale/Laia have decided to give them a chance, despite them also being Like That. My god. This is so good. Maybe they're a little less insane/more vulnerable than in canon, and that's why it works so well? But yeah, this one makes you root for them, I would say. It's really beautiful, honestly.

Septentrion/MC

Right, My Lady? (18+) by Adel_Sadikova - I'm not gonna lie, there's a bit of insta-love here that I, personally, don't super vibe it, but the smut 🤌... The smut 🙏‍😮‍💨👌

Gen

Daughter by raev - Mica POV from getting adopted by Vlad (before we got to know the canon events) and following her until the present time. It's a very short fic, but I think it's really well written and I always want to recommend it to other DLS fans!

I really want to find some good DALS fanfics! I saw your post about Reddit, but if you have any that you know of coup you link them? Could you also link any from Reddit that you recommend? Just whenever you get the chance!!! Thanks so much babes 💕

Unfortunately, it's been a while since I've read RC fanfics (or in general) so I'm kind of out of touch with where to find fanfics. But some anons and blogs pointed out that ficbook was where there were more RC fanfics concentrated, you'll probably find some there! (you just have to translate the page XD).

@hojiteaversion thank you!

💭Did you read anything over the past week/weekend? . I read Dark Matter and Bleed Like Me recently and both I rated high. Both are really well written and had me completely sucked in! Such page turners! . ✨Dark Matter is a book that I would not typically pick up myself. It's an adult sci-fi thriller, and honestly if it wasn't for @bookofthemonthclub & @bookwormeverlasting I probably would have never even come across it. I'm really glad I did because I seriously could not put it down. And this book screwed with my mind...but in such a good way! HIGHLY recommend! . ✨Bleed Like Me is a SUPER DARK YA book. I'm talking trigger warnings galore for this on. If any of the following are triggers for you do not pick this one up: self harm, emotional/psychological abuse, abusive relationships, suicide, drugs, graphic scenes. With that being said, if you can handle dark books like this I do think it's worth the read. It sheds light on things that some teens do go through and how a path taken can turn so dark very quickly. It's well written, but it's definitely not a book to leave you warm and fuzzy. . ✨Candles & Melts by @novelheartbeatcreations , my friend @cbookaddiction has a code you can use to save! . #tbr #read #darkmatter #bleedlikeme #tbr #flatlay #novelheartbeatcreations #booksandflowers #booksandcandles #bookofthemonthclub

So tonight I met (three of) the members of longtime fave band @garbage. I'm not sure I can properly convey in words exactly how epic this was, but I shall attempt. Put it this way, never in a million years did my 14-year-old self, freshly gifted with a brand-spanking new CD of "Garbage Version 2.0," dream I would one day see my beloved band members sign the album artwork right in front of me. Garbage was the first band that I liked for more than just their music - their personality, their style, their boldness in a world of comformity all fascinated little teenage me. Their hooks were infectious and their lyrics tantalizing. In many ways, they started my love of alternative music, singing, and the iconic badass redhead. Today their music continues to inspire and empower me, and I honestly cannot imagine what my catalogue of music would be like without them. From their iconic and unforgettable "Only Happy When It Rains" to the poignant yet uplifting "Beloved Freak," Garbage has secured themselves a permanent spot on the playlist of my life, and I could not be happier. Shirley, Steve, Duke, Butch - thank you for sharing your music with the world and assuring us that we're all extraordinary people. ❤️💛💚💙💜 #garbage #thisisthenoisethatkeepsmeawake #thebookcellar #booksigning #shirleymanson #stevemarker #dukeerikson #butchvig #bleedlikeme #notyourkindofpeople #strangelittlebirds
