Which would be your top 5 Brittana fics out of all the ones you've read if you had to choice?

Hey ! Hi there 👋

🥺 Oh I’m not good at all to this doing top five list thing (or any kind of list), specially with Brittana fanfics … this past 2 years I’ve been reading fanfics for the first time and Brittana Fanfics only … just this week I realized that I’ve read a little more than 200 stories (multi chapters and one shots) and I have almost 550 fics downloaded on my iPad and still keep adding more stories to my ‘to read’ list.

Anyway… I’ll try to somehow answer your question just ranting on some authors and fics that I adore and can recall just now;

The first story that I read and fell in love with Brittana fanfics was “Two Ghosts” by WheresMyNaya then I loved “Coffee Break” trilogy. She is one of my favorite Brittana writers so I love all her stories.

I felt in love with “Finding The Way Back” trilogy by LeighKelly and love all her stories, another favorites of mine “You Gave Me the Word, I Finally Heard” (which I bought the original book adaptation “In The Silence”), “Piece by Piece” and “Don't You Dare Look Back, Just Keep Your Eyes On Me”.

Another writer that I love all her stories is ‘Talk’ … being my favorites the “Forever Friends” trilogy and “A Dollar & A Dream” trilogy. Sadly she deleted her account and all of her stories 😔

I can’t stress enough how much I love “Taking the Long Way” two books series by Lingering Lilies (got the original books adaptation too).

Recently read the amazing and addictive “Vengeance” by crushed2 and it’s definitely one of my favorites stories from the new Brittana writers out there. Keep an eye on her recent on going fic “Muse” that of course I already love too.

And just last night finished reading “Setting Rain on Fire” by privatephilosopher and omg was such a heartbreaking and beautiful story��� and the most mind blowing is that the author was 17 y/o at the time (11 year ago) and it was her very first fanfic ever 😳 I really hope she is now a professional writer because if at 17 she wrote that beautifully I can only imagine that she had to pursue a career writing or in literature.

On the same tone of fics about loss or death of a loved one my favorites are “Absence of Fear” by bugstories, “Not Ready To Say Goodbye” by BeautifulChaos89, “Until We Meet Again” by itainthardtryin and “Color” by EverShadow. All this are hardcore sad but the writing is so beautiful that worth every teardrop and sobs.😆😭😭 [edited] I have to add to this list the “Goodnight, Baby” trilogy of one shots by PoppieJoy.

I have to mention the amazing fic “The Road to Unicorn” by RainManWithBoobs (got the original book adaptation “Blue Rose Red”).

“I'll Teach You to Dance” by monochromeheartbeat.

“Rhythms” and “(I've Never Reached An Answer) I'm Only Given Clues” by thefooliam.

“A Different Life” and “A Silent Song” (got the original book adaptation too) by acewritergirl.

“Clockwork” by Gorshenin.

“My Girlfriend's Sister's Keeper” by bodybroke.

“We're Just Getting Started” by lizbean.

I know that I’m forgetting lots of fics that are easily favorites of mine but I can’t keep ranting like this for so long 😂😂😭😭😭

I failed the task to name only 5 fics but I really can’t pick one over the other😔

And that is why I’m so bad at this all ‘ask’ things.😬

Now I’m intrigued.. Which is your top 5 or 10 or 15 Brittana fics ? 👀

Really interested in knowing what your top 10 brittana fics are!! Thank you for doing what you’re doing! :)

Turns out it’s pretty much impossible for me to decide on just 10 Brittana fics….but I did manage to narrow it down! So heres my top 20, I hope thats alright too

In no particular order though, I barely managed to narrow it down to 20, no way I can also rank them. I’m really bad at this, I’m sorry lol.

You Gave Me the Word, I Finally Heard by LeighKellyWhen Brittany Pierce was seven, a near drowning experience left her profoundly deaf. For twenty-two years, she’s lived in a quiet solitude, her mother’s response to her accident leaving her wary of building relationships.

Rent My Pussy by soulpicnicLonely? Call 1-800-BSPUSSY.

I Know You Wanna Touch by bugstoriesBrittana AU - Brittany and Santana are both in their mid-twenties, meeting in a fancy bar in New York City. The chemistry is there, but how will Santana react when she finds out that the mysterious blonde is in fact an escort? Will she give her a chance?

[brittanafanfichelp]

do you have any Heya recs?

Alright, I used to read a lot of Heya fics, but in the last three or so years I pretty much read none. So this list might be somewhat outdated since my preferences as a reader changed a lot in that time. But here you go:

Best PWP fics?

I think that depends on what you are into a lot, so I will try to go with authors that write good Brittana smut in general and I’m gonna link a few of their fics, but you should check out the rest of their stories and see which you fancy yourself. Be sure to see the authors notes and warnings before reading.

Swinging Cloud has a lot of GKM fills and Brittana smut in general like Can’t Come Down and Electric Feel or more specific stuff like Breathless. 

crammit also has a lot of good Brittana smut like How to Win Even When You’ve Lost and the Best Laid Plans verse.

jellymankelly’s Innocent verse one shots like Innocent: Character Witness are all very good, also look at Special Delivery.

Sex scenes in LeighKelly’s fics are really good too, but if you are not up for long fics check out her Airline Regulations two-shot.

Similar thing with Lingering Lilies, I would definitely recommend all smut in Taking The Long Way, but that comes with 300k of plot, so…

Other fics that also came to mind while writing this post:
