okay well there’s more than ten because i’m indecisive & these are all too good not to mention!!
for some sense of order, i’ve separated them by ships, and then further by if they’re canon or au, because the 2 are essentially different genres so 🤓
i’m also not gonna expand too much on what i like about each of these because it’ll just be me waffling & saying ‘i love this ship and this person writes their dynamic so damn well’ over and over lol
Lightcannon
~~canon-ish~~
- ‘Ill-Fortune and Illumination’ series by @questionablecuttlefish
ft. scenes of extreme chaos and extreme tenderness, sometimes in the same chapter, always brilliant 🤌
- ‘The energy that pumps through my veins’ by @ghostofyaz
in which jinx is the ultimate masochist & lux aims to please ✨
- ‘Flashbangs and Frag Grenades’ series by @calchexxis (which there’s also a podcast on Spotify for!!🔥)
‘jinx is crazy, lux is crazier’ - a must read
~~au~~
- ‘Bright Eyes’ series by @calchexxis
college au in which jinx is a ‘tattooed punk on a motorcycle’ - need i say more? 👀

the closest to top gun i will ever willingly get, ft. angst and planes ✈️
Timebomb
~~canon-ish~~
- ‘My Boy Savior’ by Elssandra on AO3 (idk their tumblr)
wherein jinx’s journey to becoming a firelight is cute, dark as hell, dramatic and frequently heartbreaking - yay 🥲
Pistolwhip / CaitJinx
~~canon-ish~~
- ‘Dancing After Death’ by @prettyaveragewhiteshark
jinx and caitlyn bond over their grief & it hurts & it’s so satisfying to read 💔
- ‘Hollow bones and bird song’ series by @natsukashenby
the fic that got me into the crackship, so much angst and pining, god bless 🙏
- ‘Lithium’ series by @ravenkinnie
okay i need to re-read this asap but the angst in this knows no bounds 🖤
~~au~~
- ‘Love Sonnet aka Escort AU’ series by @ravenkinnie
this fic is so tender and their connection feels so real - idk how else to describe it other than saying just go read it right now 🥺
- ‘Lover, will you look at me now? I’m already dead to you’ by @natsukashenby
ft. caitlyn and jinx bonding a little too much at a party… gotta love the drama
Liquorbomb (Jinx x ‘Chuck’)
@unknownstellardepths has this monopolised lololol thank you for your service
~~canon-ish~~
- ‘Toy Guns with Real Bullets’
jinx turns to ‘chuck’ after killing silco and things get *complicated* ❤️🩹
this fleshes out thieram/chuck so so well, and the writing in this? the crafting of the fight scenes, the sex scenes, and character development? yeah, read it.
~~au~~
- ‘Scissors and Heartstrings’
more thieram and jinx antics - can’t get enough tbh 🫶
Honourable mentions for some non-Arcane fics I adore:
SPOP (Catradora)
~~canon-ish~~
- ‘Falling feels like flying (till the bone crush) by ehj on AO3 (idk their tumblr)
what if catra and adora started secretly fucking while still at war with each other? yeah this is that & it’s bloody great 😌
~~au~~
- ‘Break a Leg (and break the bed)’ by @dandyvela
catradora as stunt workers who are secretly fuck buddies, minus the friendship & add on a whole lot of repressed feelings. genius 💖
- ‘Take me home’ by feistypants on AO3 (idk their tumblr)
exes running a farm together and slowly confronting the past… when i tell you i cried 😭
Killing Eve (Villaneve)
~~what everyone in the old fandom wishes could’ve been canon~~
- ‘Saving Eve’ by DontShoveTheSun on AO3 (idk their tumblr)
okay i’m not exaggerating when i say that this fic has improved my mental health lol anyone still reeling from that abysmal finale needs to read this. this whole thing is like the most comforting hug ever & idc it’s canon to *me* 🥹
tbh i’d also extend this rec to anyone who enjoys the murder wives trope in general, even if you haven’t seen the show - this fic truly delivers everything that kind of story needs. can’t praise it highly enough.
okay, this was super fun to do so i’m tagging all the authors mentioned here, plus anyone else who wants to do it! 💕
