#fic: overturnedgoal

[tapedsleeves]

So, I thought it would be fun to go through all of of the fics I'd read this year and rec a couple that I'd reach each month. This is it: my fic rec's in review. In addition, because I noticed that I read at least one other fandom a month, my bonus fandoms lol. Take this Journey of the past year with me, I hope you enjoy these recommendations.

[grittyreadsfic]

Do you have any fic recs for fics that explore gender identity, especially genderqueer/non-binary identity? Fics that discuss trans identity are welcome too, but I think I may have already read many of the fics you would recommend for that 😅

hello my friend i am so sorry for the belated response here but I have a few!!

this jack/nico fic by overturnedgoal is v soft and has jack exploring gender a bit in the background and is one of my favorites ever tbh

there's also this jackty fic by softanimal

this nico/nolan is so good

i also really enjoy this trans brock series

this tk/np fic is just....yes

this explores transness in the omegaverse, and even if you're not the biggest omegaverse person I do think it's worth the read

and then the ones below here either don't explore gender at all and is just trans ppl getting to be happy and live their lives or the exploration is more a minor part of it (or i can't remember how much it actually explores gender) or its some of my favorite fic with trans or nonbinary characters

this natety college fic

this tknp lex missed connections fic

the septa fic

the selkie fic

this one zachwilly fic

this mitch/auston fic

this jackty fic <3333

and then in my tbr:

this kappy/turbo fic looks like SUCH an interesting exploration of queerness and gender

and then i got recced this one on here and haven't had a chance to read it yet

[grittyreadsfic]

nate/dougie is the ideal big4big ship imo and overturnedgoal nailed it in this fic for them

[grittyreadsfic]

overturnedgoal was so right for this trans quinn/petey fic

[grittyreadsfic]

today is an important day-it is nico hischier's birthday. in honor of that, here's a rec list of some top tier nico fics!

collision course by greenteam : i have said it once and I will say it again, but greenteam always puts out some of my favorite aus, and this jack/nico fic is no exception

fire and flood by pretty_vacant: the devils ferda omegaverse is actually something that can be so personally. i have read this many times, and it always slaps

i want your belly (and that summer feeling) by clementiae: ngl this nico/bratter fic is just like. next level good. nothing will beat the high of reading this for the first time

this is where we both break free by overturnedgoal: obsessed with how they write nico/jack and also y'all know i love to read fics about trans joy

blood and oil by wilderhockey: exquisite concept (cyborgs! dystopia!) and also just as exquisite dynamic and banter between jack and nico. one of my favorite nico characterizations

lionheart by aliquis: prince nico/bodyguard jonas is actually the most apt depiction of them ever. I am, in fact, fully obsessed with this. 100000/10

i knew him well by adjacently: love is stored in the kitchen and also in getting into fwb situations with a healthy does of pining. my best friend's brother by victoria justice etc etc

take my hand, wreck my plan by passengers: absolute top tier nico/nolan fic right here (to no one's surprise, since it is ao3 user passengers). there is fake dating and nico is a teacher, what else could you need?

never bet the devil your head by philtatoi: as a noted lover of all of philtatoi's work, i do really love their devils fics most of all. this one has pining AND supernatural elements-truly has it all

kiss me on the mouth (and set me free) by coastalhighway: the vibes of this jack/nico fic are absolutely incredible, and it has some of my favorite world building. spectacular!!!

take the wheel by greenteam: if u see me reccing a second greenteam fic pls mind ur business!! this jacknico street racer au is, in fact, perfection! if i could lovingly kiss this fic on the forehead i would!

(self rec disclaimer but my jack/nico college au will always be one of my favorite things i've written)

[grittyreadsfic]

recently found jack/nico was a thing and am now obsessed, but i don't know where in the tag to start.... have any good recs o great gritty deity?

i love any and all excuses to talk devs fic tbh that’s my team, you know?

i really love pretty_vacant’s works for them but her ferda verse and her regency werewolves fics for jacknico especially

coastalhighway has a fun psychic au and a regency option

hannah_baker’s ikea fic is also a rec, as is this fic by overturnedgoal. also this summer fic by baiyunli

i haven’t read this carissima fic for them yet but i do tend to love their body of work so it’s worth mentioning

and i always feel a lil weird reccing my own fic, but i have three jacknico fics (reddit fic, coffee shop fic, trans college fic) that i think are solid

[grittyreadsfic]

i'm a sucker for a good trade fic, and this zach/willy fic by overturnedgoal where willy gets traded to the sharks is just further evidence as to why

[grittyreadsfic]

tk/law is such an underrated pairing, and this fic where lawson plays for the philles by overturnedgoals is an absolute favorite of mine

[grittyreadsfic]

this jacknico fic by overturnedgoal is all about trans joy and i am all about it tbh

[grittyreadsfic]

overturnedgoal really nailed the bros to lovers vibes in this mario/john fic
