#ds9 fanfic recs

[gardenvarietyhuman]

Let’s all give thanks to @iowacornfarm for creating this art! It’s so beautiful! ❤️

[madanimalscientist]

I'm not an artist, but I decided to combine the existing illustrations for the fic and a bit of fiddling around to make a mock book cover for my favorite RadioApple fic, Ruination of Lucifer by @syaunei (with absolutely epic illustrations by @betti2024).

Art by Betti2024, the top bit of the back cover text was pulled from the fic's description on Ao3, and then I added a bit more back cover text and fiddled around with some clip art and formatting in PowerPoint to make a romance novel-style front and back cover ^_^

Seriously y'all go read this fic, I am positively FERAL over it. I've been a fan of Syaunei for ages, Timeo Trilles Et Dona Ferentes is one of my fav DS9 fics ever, and so I was DELIGHTED to see she'd started writing Hazbin fic. All her writing is epic, five stars, flawless, greater than great. So go and read Ruination of Lucifer and join me in the Kermit flailing with delight, and then go read her DS9 fic and flail with delight even more.

So, after my post about finding old fic, I decided to make a post, of fanfics I’ve loved over the years. I thought maybe other people might enjoy them too.

It’s not a complete list, there are a lot of other fics that aren’t in the list, mainly because I have and have had favourites saved all over the place, and I’ve got still more that I probably haven’t remembered. I’ll add more later.

All of these are complete, I haven’t included WIPS as much as I have some I loved, I doubt they will ever be finished now. Maybe I’ll add them later too, with warnings of course.

Most of these are pretty long. They are all ones I’ve gone back and read over and over, some though, I haven’t read in years, so maybe they’re not as good as I remember. Hopefully they are though.

This list is mainly for my own benefit, but I hope someone else gets some enjoyment out of these too, and please feel free to reblog and add your own faves.

So, in no particular order:

Cruel Necessity by Epona Harper - Real Ghostbusters fanfic. 79k words.

Summary: An attack on Peter has far-reaching repercussions.

No Little Charity by Perspi - House MD fanfic. 37351 words.

Summary: It was an old ritual, old magic from before the world had rational explanations and cold science. Cold science had failed House; Wilson had nothing left to try but this. (You need to be logged in to view this one)

Tarred and Feathered by Crydamoure - Good Omens fanfic. 75735 words.

Summary: It was the most obvious punishment. The Archangel created to carry Her voice suddenly rendered mute.

(Gabriel falls, personally inconveniencing Beelzebub)

One Night In Bangor (And the World's Your Oyster) by Atalan - Good Omens fanfic. 10452 words.

Summary: "All right, I know I'm going to regret asking this," Aziraphale says. "What exactly does this wager entail?"

Crowley grins like the cat that not only got the cream but has absconded with the entire cow. He grabs the bottle and swigs straight from it despite Aziraphale's tut of disapproval.

 "The pot goes to whichever demon can get an angel into bed by the end of the evening."

 AKA The Fic That Tumblr Made Me Write. Heaven and Hell share a corporate party once per millennium. This time someone's had the bright idea of issuing a challenge to the demons of Hell. Crowley has no intention of missing the opportunity; Aziraphale's just enough of a bastard to make him work for it

Eclipse by AconitumNapellus - Star Trek TOS fanfic. 82773 words.

Summary: Spock is blinded in an explosion on the Enterprise and relocates to Earth for his rehabilitation. While he grows used to his new world and finally returns to the Enterprise, he and the crew must find out if the explosion was an accident, or terrorism.

(This one is part of a series, but you can get to the others from this one)

Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma: An Integrative Approach by Nnm. Good Omens fanfic. 99423 words.

Summary: As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

--His clothing was expensive and stylish;
--He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
--His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
--He looked angry;
--He was wearing sunglasses.

What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

The Manipulation of Julian Bashir By The Tystie. Star Trek DS9 fanfic. 218000 words

SUMMARY: When you have lived a lie for over half your life, how do you cope when the truth comes out? A story about Julian Bashir, set in season 5.

DS9 gen Julian Bashir fanfic

I just read a story I really liked! It's gen, novel-length AND all about Julian. It's called The Darkness Within by Mijra on ff.net and the focus is on Julian's (toxic) childhood with a lot of angst and a plot twist I really hadn't seen coming! I've been reading a lot of Garashir stories recently but it was nice to have a non-slash story about Julian once in a while. So much trauma the poor boy is going through. Goes straight to my h/c folder! There seem's to be more from the author. Can't wait to go through her (?) other stories.

[leohtttbriar]

perhaps ruined my own vision of these made-up alien plants from one of my ds9 fics by attempting to doodle them the other day instead of working.

[leebrontide]

Tumblr, pls send me your best DS9 fic recs that deal with Julian's genetic modification. I need it.

[frogwynwebber]

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Julian Bashir/Elim Garak Characters: Julian Bashir, Elim Garak Additional Tags: Misunderstandings, Miscommunication, Mutual Pining, Alien Cultural Differences, Original Character(s) Summary:

Julian doesn't think about it much these days. Why should he, when it's been so long?

But when he does, if he does, well—he considers it part and parcel of Garak, that's all. Disconcerting at first, a little invasive. Awfully close to a line but not quite crossing it, and leaving Julian with absolutely no idea what he's meant to do in response. Garak in microcosm, summarized in a single unexpected gesture.

(Or: Julian has always thought Garak just had a weird little habit. Until another Cardassian does the same thing to him, and seems to imbue the gesture with a meaning Julian really had not anticipated.)

PLEASE READ (fic + writing requests)

hey folks. i got into a car accident (the guy was at fault which is good for insurance), but my shit is currently not drivable b/c i had to put it in the shop, and i got my knee busted tf up. i already work two jobs, but i’m strapped for cash due to the circumstances.

gen/ things i am willing to write for: people’s OCs, backstories, poetry, script, situation prompts, etc. 

topics/fandoms: I’m mainly doing a lot of Succession (HBO) right now. But other options I’m down for are: Severance, M*A*S*H, Star Trek (ToS or DS9), Red Dead Redemption, House M.D., Detroit: Become Human, Downton Abbey, Mythic Quest, The Righteous Gemstones. (probably more? i just can’t think of them right now, feel free to ask though).

subjects: any pairings that aren’t gross (i.e. incestuous or anything), angst, hurt/comfort, any dark topic that you can think of that doesnt include (romanticizing incest, bestiality, necrophilia, underage ... just weird things. i think you get my drift). AUs or UAs, headcanons. explicit content (you just gotta give the parameters of what you want done). i’ll do a lot tbh, you just gotta give me some groundwork to follow. 

prices (excluding adjustments):

$5 for anything 1,000-under    $10 for 2,000     $15 for 3,000-5,000

anything above 5,000 (add that $15 to another $7.50 /per each 1,500 words). so, for example in case math isn’t a strong suit ... if you wanted a 6,500-7,900 word fic, it would be $22.50. if you wanted something that was around 10,000-11,000 words, it would be $45 (i think, idk how to do math either). i can always do price buffers, b/c honestly i’ll take anything even if $1 is all you can afford. i’m just trying to think of a system. 

for examples of some work/request i’ve fulfilled previously, feel free to check out my Ao3.

@kaelio's fic Restore, Remake, Rebuild (aka RRR) is a classic of the Garak/Bashir ship and it hits like a fucking brick to the feels and so much about the worldbuilding is stuck permanently in my head. I first encountered it years ago but it still hits hard (not just the Garak/Bashir aspects but also the Quark/Natima bits too, I love that ship)

Most recently, Ruination of Lucifer by @syaunei - my favorite Hazbin fic, hands down. The writing style and vividness and artistry is absolutely glorious, and Syaunei has a knack for hitting me in the feels with words like a perfectly aimed fish hook to the heartstrings. I feel positively feral about it sometimes, it's just SO GOOD. I look forward to the weekly updates and around ~8pm Sunday night Aussie time I keep hitting refresh waiting for the next chapter so I can devour it and then ping @coppercrow to flail about it like it's our own little online book club XD It is SO. SO. GOOD.

And finally He Says He Is an Experimental Theologian by @erinptah - I wasn't even a HDM fan when I encountered this, just very into WTNV but I have reread the series so many times, it is such rich worldbuilding

(Bless the DS9 and Hazbin fandoms in general for so many fics that make me tilt my head and go '.....OH, well I learned a thing about myself today' though)

fuck it everyone tell me about one fanfic which has changed your brain chemistry

[gardenvarietyhuman]

Well then Garak, may I suggest this new smut for you?

[tocourtdisaster]

3, 5, 12

For the Fic Rec Ask Game. I couldn't narrow any of these down to just one fic per question because I have 467 AO3 bookmarks and can't make decisions to save my life, so consider the rest a bonus.

3. 😂 A fic that made you laugh out loud

The Subtle Arrangement of Stones (Babylon 5, ensemble). It's a season one "missing episode" told via security interviews. I don't even know how many times I laughed at this. Everyone is ridiculous and also somehow perfectly in character.

Reasons to Celebrate (SW:TCW, Waxer/Boil). It's a Hanahaki comedy, two words I never would have thought would go together, but it works so well.

The Minutes of an Extraordinary Meeting of the Promenade Merchants' Association (ST:DS9, ensemble). It's Worf vs the Chamber of Commerce and Worf loses.

Until Death Do Us Part (Six of Crows, ensemble). Kaz and Inej are trying to get married, but first Kaz and Jesper need to get divorced. Everything about this is 100% believable and in character and hilarious.

5. 📆 A fic you’d re-read 10 years from now

An Hourglass in Hand (SW:TCW, Codywan). This is the daemon!AU of my dreams. I love this story so much that I honestly can't even put into words what I love about it because I love everything. I could have put this as an answer to 12 too because it sucked me in from the very first sentence.

Play It Again (Teen Wolf, ensemble). Yes, I am rec'ing a TW fic in the year 2024 with zero shame. I love this story and I've reread it every couple of years for the last decade so I feel like it fits perfectly. Stiles dimension travels and can never go home. PTSD and shenanigans ensue.

An Eye For Quality (The Hobbit, ensemble). This is another one I've reread multiple times over the past decade because I love it so much. Bella Baggins goes on a Quest, gets adopted by some dwarves, and helps to save the world, but it's so much more than just a genderswapped retelling of The Hobbit.

12. 💘 A fic you couldn't stop reading once you started

Trying to Escape What You Can't Let Go (SW:TCW, Fox & Boba). Fox takes in Boba in a No O66 world and everyone thinks Fox has lost his mind, Boba included. It's 38k words and I think I read it in one sitting the first time.

Maintenance Required (SW:TBB, Tech/TAY-0). I don't remember why I decided to read this fic, since I wasn't a big fan of the episode it's a tag to, but I'm glad I did because it's so good. I never would have thought I'd end up loving TAY-0 as much as I do when I first saw the summary. Plus there's art that's just gorgeous. This is definitely one of those stories where the stats don't do the story justice at all.

[fandomfixation2]

Not sure if this is the best way to do this, but I’m looking for some fanfic recommendations on the following -

DS9 - Garak/Bashir

Wild Wild West - Artie/Jim

I have only just found out about AO3, but I literally don’t know where to start, so if anyone has any recs I would be eternally grateful.

[aprylynn]

I was tagged by @summerwave @jiminsproof @epiphanytear to do this test and share the results! This was literally so long ago I don’t even remember 😂

I don’t know a lot of these characters (except Kif that made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂) but I was happy to see I share a lot with the people who tagged me 💜💜💜

Some other ones that got me excited were:

40. Samwise Gamgee (LOTR) 50. Burton Guster (Psych) 61. George Michael Bluth (Arrested Development) 92. Tina Belcher (Bob's Burgers) as if i could write fanfic like her 😭 97. Amy Santiago (B99) 106. Liz Lemon (30 Rock) 115. Calvin's mom (Calvin & Hobbes) 121. Ben Wyatt (Parks and Rec) 130. Charles Boyle (B99) 132. Ted Mullens (Schitt's Creek) 137. Winston Bishop (New Girl) 151. Rom (Star Trek DS9) 152. Miles O'Brien (Star Trek DS9) 159. Geordi La Forge (Star Trek TNG) 160. Chidi Anagonye (The Good Place) 180. Harry Kim (Star Trek Voyager) 200. Amy Sosa (Superstore)

Okay that's enough. I for sure see a pattern here and I love it :))))

Tagging @lauraperfectinsanity @cosmicdreamgrl @cordiallyfuturedwight @sevencoloredstar @raplinenthusiasts (if some of you already did this sorry again this was so long ago 😂)

[grimark]

i'm currently in the position of having to speedrun the last decade worth of garashir fanfic so i can have some recs for emily when we finish watching ds9. because despite having been a fan of this show for like a million years, up until very recently i somehow had less than five ao3 bookmarks to show for it.

[karl-von-moor-official]

So, um, I wrote/am writing this Garashir fanfic… 

It’s not technically post canon, but it’s pre canon and it kinda feels like post canon because there’s no canon compliance?? And it’s a slow burn. And action. Idk. Anyway, perhaps I could interest you in it! I’d be happy if you checked it out :)

Going to have a bit of a rough weekend… if you could be so kind as to recommend me your favorite post canon slow burn garashir, that would be ideal
