Had to delete the last reblog from @mid-nighttiger for room, but this is originally from lightveils on twitter.

Got a full bingo for y’all! Enjoy my strange and varied tastes throughout the years~

a fic you love without knowing the source material

I barely go here but this Jean/Marco fic has had me hooked for years.

Droplets by theprophetlemonade

Attack on Titan, Mature, 508k words WIP, Jean Kirschtein/Marco Bott

Jean Kirschtein is not entirely sure why they need someone to clean the pool when no-one ever seems to swim in the darn thing, but when his socialite mother just can't stop ogling the new pool boy, Jean realises she might not be the only one.

Apparently balancing a growing relationship with the freckled pool boy is harder than it looks, when coupled with a more than dysfunctional family life, a cheating scumbag for a father, and a seriously lonely existence.

An AU of equal measures fluff and angst featuring pool cleaning, roof-top smoking, lots of parental problems, and mainly shirtless Marco.

a fic with a premise that shouldn’t work but does

This one just has such a wild story and if it weren’t for how great it’s written and the source material it would not be as amazing as it is!

for the ones who try again by hujwernoo [part 8 of Comes and Goes (In Waves)]

Umbrella Academy, Mature, 125k, Number Five/Dolores, Klaus/Dave

Klaus is pretty sure he’s hallucinating. He can’t remember taking any drugs that would cause hallucinations, usually avoids them like the plague. He fucking hates that shit, the entire reason he’s an addict is because he already sees things other people can’t, why would he want more of that, but he must have taken something and forgotten, because it’s the only explanation for the scene in front of him.

Because in front of him is Five.

Little Number Five. Their thirteen-year-old brother, the one who ran out on them seventeen years ago and never came back. The one that left a gaping hole in the middle of their family, just as big as Ben if not bigger, because no one ever knew what happened to him. The one Klaus tried to conjure, night after night, not sure whether to be happy or not when he kept failing.

“I’m back,” Five says, staring straight at him, and Klaus almost flinches from the intensity in his eyes. “I’m home.”

-----

Time to save the world, everyone.

a fic you’ve reread several times

This could literally apply to all of them because there is not a single fic on this list that I haven’t read at least three times.

Beta Tau Sigma by bazooka

BTS, Mature, 123k words, Kim Namjoon/Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi/Park Jimin

A collection of events occurring within (and without) the walls of the Beta Tau Sigma fraternity house.

At Beta Tau Sigma, there are only a few rules:

1) have a declared major in the College of Music;

2) keep your GPA above a 3.4;

3) don't let Taehyung into the liquor cabinet;

4) don't fuck up with Kim Seokjin.

The rest is all fine print.

a fic you still remember many years later

Oh my lord this one. This one just sticks with you...

Find A Temple, Build A Temple by eggjam

Homestuck, Mature, 32k words, Jake English/Dirk Strider

"This is how it's supposed to be, heaven or no."

a comfort fic

There’s something about this one that just hits my heart in all the right places. It’s familiar and lovely.

One of the Crazy Ones by starandrea

Almost Human, Mature, 105k words, Dorian/John Kennex

A kidnapping case turns personal when someone takes exception to the LAPD's involvement. Or maybe it's John and Dorian they don't like. John doesn't care what their problem is, he just wishes they'd stop trying to kill him--until he doesn't, because having an active threat against his life makes Dorian his 24/7 bodyguard.

a cathartic fic

I can’t put into words the way this fic makes me feel.

Midnight on the Demon Patrol by Asuka Kureru (Askerian) @asukaskerian

Homestuck, Explicit, 233k words WIP, Dave Strider/Karkat Vantas

Fighting fire with fire is okay in theory but Detective-Summoner Dave L. Strider figures trying to summon corporeal demons to the mortal plane to fight other demons is likely to backfire spectacularly. Sadly for him his inner Knight gets the vapors at the thought of letting anyone else play guinea pig.

Yup, he is totally hogging the demon. What could go wrong? (Oh no, Dave, why did you have to think that.)

a fic you’d print and put on your bookshelf

THIS ONE! This came into my life and tore out everything I thought I knew about daemon au’s and The Golden Compass and replaced it with itself. I’m in awe of this fic.

He Says He Is An Experimental Theologian by ErinPtah [part 1 of Republic of Heaven Community Radio]

WTNV, Teen, 181k words, Carlos/Cecil Palmer [warnings for Death and Violence]

Ever since Carlos was little, he and his daemon have been fans of Dr. Lyra Belacqua. Both as the most groundbreaking experimental theologian of the 20th century, and as the heroine of dozens of fantasy-adventure children's stories (based very loosely on her own mysterious childhood).

But Lyra's true legacy is still bigger than Carlos ever imagined...until he took a team of scholars to study Rusakov particles in the most theologically interesting community in Hispania Nova. Now his own day-to-day life is full of things like angels, witches, hooded spectres, portals between worlds, vague yet menacing branches of the Magisterium, and a man who walks around without his daemon and can read an alethiometer as easily as a stop sign.

a fic you associate with a song

This one was tough so maybe I cheated a little.

String Quartet Op.59 No.1 by DarkmoonSigel

Hannibal, Teen, 6k words, Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter

Will has to go to a FBI function cause Jack guilt trips him into it, so Will ends up bringing Hannibal with him. The truth comes out on the dance floor.

a fic that inspires you

Okay, so this is more about the author, but everything you write inspires me, dude! It makes me want to write and for you to!

Put Your Diamonds Where Your Mouth Is by AaronAmpora @capricorny-c

Hermitcraft, Explicit, 7k words, Cubfan135/Iskall85

Iskall lost a bet, so now he has to wear the Dorothy skin for a week, including during the monthly hermit party. After a few too many drinks, Iskall bets that he can top Cub, and Cub takes him up on it. Things definitely don't go the way Iskall had planned, but he doesn't really mind in the end.

a fic that brought you on board a new ship

Before this I had never even considered bagginshield and was only toying with the idea of Gimli/Legolas. If anything can get you on board it is this one.

Sansûkh by determamfidd

Lord of the Rings + The Hobbit, Teen, 533k WIP, Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas [warnings for Major Character Death]

The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.

(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

a fic you wish could be a movie

The Captain America movies WISH they were this good.

Ain’t No Grave (Can Keep My Body Down) by spitandvinegar [part 2 of Ain’t No Grave]

Captain America, Mature, 107k words, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes [warnings for past rape]

It's six in the morning, and Steve is heading out on a run when he nearly trips over a bouquet of sunflowers on the front steps of his brownstone.

For a second paranoia takes over, and he kicks the flowers a little, waiting for them to explode. They don't. They also came with a card, which he picks up. The front of the card has a tasteful picture of the Brooklyn bridge at sunset. It's very nice and sedate, like the kind of card you would buy to give to your boss. On the inside someone has written a short message in big, shaky block letters.

I AM SORRY FOR SHOOTING YOU.

Steve sits down hard on the steps.

a fic that led to you making friends with the author

Way back when I started reading this (chapter 4 baby) we connected. I miss our friendship, but I will always cherish the memories.

Out of the Deep by riseofthefallenone

Supernatural, Explicit, 488k words, Dean Winchester/Castiel

Stay away from the light-beds. Stay in the deep.

It is the first thing hatchlings are taught the moment their fans unfurl and they can swim without their parents to buoy them along. It is the first rule, the first law. It is the beginning of every boogey-monster bedtime story told when they settle against the cliffs to sleep.

Castiel should have listened better.

a fic you’ve gushed about irl

This one. OH MAN. There are no words to describe just how much I love this fic! I got my fiance to read it just by how much I was talking about it.

The Weight of Lies by BastardBin @bastardbin

Hermitcraft, Teen, 155k words WIP, Grian/Mumbo Jumbo

AU in which demons are from the Nether, humans are from the overworld, and angels hail from the End. Elytras don't exist; only angels can fly.

But there are legends, tales of the very bravest of souls that have crossed the chasm between worlds, and come back with wings of their own, granted the power to be seen as an angel. Grian finds himself tempted, to find them for himself and no longer have to suffer the judgement of being a demon.

What he doesn't know, though - there are no wings that do not already belong to another. And though he may have found what he was searching for, he may come to regret his decision when the angel whose wings he unintentionally stole turns out to be his new neighbor.

a fic you associate with a place

I always remember where I was the first time I read this, and the calm that comes over me is amazing. I could read this anywhere and be transported back.

Crown of Thorns [The Walls, the Wainscot, and the Mouse] 'Verse by irisbleufic

Good Omens, Explicit, 275k words, Aziraphale/Crowley

“D’you realize,” [Crowley] said, “that we never tire of things humans get bored with on the regular?”

Aziraphale shrugged, lazily basking. “I’ve always assumed it’s that we don’t tire of each other.”

a fic that made you gasp out loud

There were other parts in this series that made me gasp, but not as much as this one! I had my hand over my mouth almost the entire time, even when I was crying. Even though you know they’re going to be okay and it will end happy, each event shook me. Brilliant.

Till Death Do Us Part by Duchess_Of_Dumpsters [part 6 of Multi-Wings AU]

Hermitcraft, Teen, 14k words, Tango/Impulse [warnings for Major Character Death]

Tango and Impulse are getting married! Zloy and Pixl are hosts for Concorp radio! Oh FRICK HERE COMES A BIG BAD.

a fic that you found at the right time

I found this right when I was trying to really reconnect with my grandfather.

Spice by eimeo

Star Trek TOS, Explicit, 276k words, Kirk/Spock

It’s a question of biology. Vulcan biology.

The problem with falling in love with a member of an insanely private species is that it just might take you the best part of a five year mission to work out that the feelings are requited. And then you might discover that he’s already decided that the two of you can never be together.

And what are you supposed to do if he won’t tell you why?

a fic that you would read fic of

Again, Marvel wishes they could write like this. I want so much more.

The Hunters Initiative by callmearcturus [4 works]

Achievement Hunter, Explicit, 203k words, Gavin Free/Michael Jones

An alternate universe based loosely on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in which Michael Jones is a wayward alien god of rage and lightning, the Ramsey-Free family own and operate the Iron Man project, BYTE is trying to keep shit under control, and Ryan Haywood is the iron-jawed Star Spangled Man. Shenanigans ensue. So many shenanigans.

a fic that made you laugh out loud

Melon!! Your fics are beautiful and just the way you characterize the hermits is amazing. It really captures their humour.

The Kissing Challenge by MelonWing @melon-wing

Hermitcraft, Teen, 9k words WIP, Grian/everyone

Instead of challenging Grian to steal everyone's front doors, Mumbo challenges him to steal kisses from all the other Hermits.

a fic with a line (or two) that you’ve memorized by heart

Man, this one stuck with me for so long. There’s a few others that I’ve also memorized, but this one deserves a special shout out.

Named by RC_McLachlan

Supernatural, Mature, 94k words, Dean Winchester/Castiel [warnings for Death and Violence]

Jesus Christ is dead. Somehow, that isn't the worst part of Dean's week.

a fic that gave you butterflies

BIG OOF THIS ONE.

i have loved the stars too fondly by Quilly

The Adventure Zone, Teen, 26k words, Davenport/Merle Highchurch

Davenport, beginning to end.

"Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night."

- "The Old Astronomer", Sarah Williams

a fic that embodies something you value in life

Oh man, this fic is just incredible. I can’t say anything more.

An Exercise In ‘Worthless’ by beastofthesky

Supernatural, Mature, 26k words, Dean Winchester/Castiel

"I mean, you’re–” He gestures at Cas, in his neat oxford shirt and nice pants. “–and I’m a high school dropout who tattoos for a living.”

Wherein Dean makes a hefty living as a tattoo artist who owns the space next to Gabriel's cafe. Sam attends the local university. When Gabe's cousin comes to live with him while starting grad school at Sam's university, Dean thinks for sure that all his negative karma's coming to bite him in the ass because Cas clearly has a thing for Sam. No one would ever choose him over Sam. That's just logic.

a favourite au

Such a fascinating au!! All of it, but this part fleshes out their relationship and is just *chefs kiss*

Assimilationist by Skull_Bearer [part 2 of Anteverse Refugee]

Pacific Rim, Mature, 17k words, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb [warnings for Violence]

Humanity has been given five minutes' breathing space, but the Kaiju Masters still hunger for blood. Newt and Hermann are caught in the middle in more ways than one.

a fic you stayed up too late to finish reading

Another one that could have been a lot of others, but Re-Entry has to take the cake. This is an epic tale that I have managed to fully re-read three times, and each time I am unable to stop myself before at least 3am.

Re-Entry & Re-Entry: Journey of the Whills by flamethrower @deadcatwithaflamethrower [so many works]

Star Wars, Mature, 1.45M words WIP, Obi-Wan Kenobi/Qui-Gon Jinn [warnings for Death, Violence, Rape]

Re-Entry is an alternate universe epic that spans time and possibility. Obi-Wan Kenobi, while still a young Padawan, suffers an injury and wakes up with all of the memories, experience, training, and Force-strength of Old Ben Kenobi. It isn't long before the Jedi discover that Anakin Skywalker, a five-year-old slave from the Outer Rim, has undergone the exact same change. Obi-Wan and Anakin bear the scars of harsh lessons learned; those who love them must learn those lessons quickly, before the mistakes of old are repeated.

a fic that made you feel seen

Just. Just read it.

let you see my wilder side (if i can see your bones) by explosivesky @twelveclara

RWBY, Explicit, 107k words, Blake Belladonna/Yang Xiao Long

Yang's untouchable; Blake's anything but. The first time they meet can't be the first at all, not with Yang lighting up every billboard on the Sunset Strip and Blake's voice crooning through the radio regardless of the station, not when every motion of Yang's is achingly familiar and every turn of Blake's mouth leads like a staircase. It's Hollywood, and Yang's spent years learning how to get exactly what wants her - Blake's spent years running from it.

If I could, Blake says, I'd kiss you right now.

If I could, Yang says, I'd let you.

FREE SPACE!

OKAY SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO THIS FIC! It is such a fun and unique idea and more people need to read it!

Out for Slaughter by ooFFF

Hermitcraft, General, 11k words, Tango/Impulse

The hermits play a game of Werewolves. Can they figure out who the wolves are, and save the town? Or will they drag the game on for as long as possible..?

A playful murder mystery with a side of Tangpulse.
