#fic recs2

[sidmalkin]

Thanks to everyone who enjoyed my Fic Recs Friday posts. Unfortunately, I will no longer post these weekly because tumblr doesn’t show posts that include outside links when on desktop anymore... and also because I don’t have the attention span to read fics on the regular. 

You can still browse through the hundreds of my fic recs here. 

Happy reading!

FINALLY updated with 50 fics after like half a year or so ????
