omfg I read the lesbian rosenali fic u posted about the other day and i’m so deeply hurt that there’s no final chapter it’s so fucking good 😫😫😫😫🥹😫😫😫 do u have any other rosenali fic recs? 😫

It's sooo fucking good, right?? I literally go back to reread it every few months and every time it's like I'm reading it for the first time. Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Hopefully the writer posts the last update eventually 😭I think I subscribed to it so I should get the notif

I've got a shit ton of rosenali recs but these are mostly going to be so much of me linking user profiles to ao3 omg 😭

When It Feels Right by alittlebitcloser : I had to include it for anyone else that comes across this list

A Helping Hand by Bombs : canon compliant, a classic I go back to reread as well. I was talking to Bombs last night and she might post another fic so 👀😌

morningmissgoode : f/f and cc rosenali, I can't even pic faves bc I'm obsessed with them all (but I'm most biased to say it to the sky)

dawningofdrag : cc and f/f, my favorite is Like Real People Do and 'cause you're my jewel

haiplana : f/f, my faves are gynaíkes gámou and leave before you love me

valiumsky : f/f and f/m , both are chefs fucking kiss

Inkpression : f/f and m/m fics but my favorites or the ones I go back to get my fix are: I put a spell on you, Burning Up, and Why not me?

buffyathena: liv has SOOO many great fics and writes many ships, rosenali ofc being one of them. My favorite has to be Ever in Your Favor, its a hunger games au and I think about it randomly

thevampirearcher : mostly f/f, the last great american dynasty had me on the edge of my seat waiting for updates

goodemethyd : f/f, so many fics and ships you can shuffle through on her a03 and blog but my absolute fave would be Love Be A Lady and this prompt !!

missjanjie : f/f and some cc stuff too, you'll find so many ships and works on her ao3 and blog, but my fave rosenali fic is I Could Be the One

You're my golden hour by writworm42 : f/f, soft aftercare, I revisit this one a lot too

This was getting so fucking long and I was originally going to add in gottrosenali fics too but didn't want to overwhelm whoever reads this and myself🥴😅 But if you did want a fic rec list for them, lmk! Overall, there are SOOO many great works for rosenali that I didn't get to list but these are the ones that automatically came to mind
