#in my defense I've also written genfic for other parts too :P

[liesonthefloordramatically]

(sorry this is on anon but i'm shy :'))

Literally every time I find an amazing JJBA fic and scroll down to leave an extremely long gushy comment, I find that you've done the same. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that we must have the exact same taste in extremely niche gen trauma fics. I've already made my way through your entire list of fics (which are all terrific of course) and I was wondering if you possibly had any recs?

Anon, this is the funniest thing in the world; I am SO tickled that you and I are apparently hopping through the same extremely niche gen trauma fic circles.

Okay! Extremely niche gen trauma fic (below a cut because this is absurdly long and in no particular order):

Come Together (post-VA, Giorno-centric)

on your way (post-VA, Mista & Trish)

here comes the first step (post-SO, Jotaro & Jolyne)

Eleuseos (pre-SDC, Kakyoin's mom-centric, JUST TRUST ME ON THIS ONE)

running with the wolves (post-VA, Trish-centric)

I Don't Live Today (VA, Fugo-centric, this fic messed me up in the best way)

a dagger for impetuousness (VA, Fugo & Bruno)

circle of life (SO, Emporio & Anasui, this is not strictly speaking trauma fic except in the ways it is)

undertow (post-VA, Giorno-centric)

Space Boy's Dream (SO, Rykiel-centric, AGAIN JUST TRUST ME ON THIS ONE)

Your Ghost (post-SDC, Holly-centric)

the sun is the same (in a relative way) (post-SDC, Jotaro & Polnareff)

lion's share (post-VA, Trish-centric)

queen of swords (BT, the Lisa Lisa character study you never knew you wanted)

no shade in the shadow of the cross (post-SBR/JJL, Johnny & Lucy Steel)

Fluency: Revised Edition (post-SO, Jolyne-centric)

Untitled (1980-2014) (SDC to SO, Jotaro-centric)

no time for fairy tales (DIU, Yukako-centric, yelling about this fic 24/7)

Some bonus fics that aren't quite genfic but are still worth the read:

New York and London, 1880-2010 (Speedwagon-centric, this fic genuinely made me cry in the best way and I think about it constantly and it's a huge shame that it doesn't have a bigger readership)

from yesterday comes tomorrow (post-SDC, Jotaro & Polnareff)

here, again (also post-SDC, Jotaro & Polnareff)

what is living is burning (post-SDC, Jotaro/Kakyoin, there's a scene in this that is seared into my brain forever)--actually just read all of desertmint's fics, you can thank me later

mix of gen and not (but all trauma all the way down), but Broodthaers's fics are generally super interesting (VA and post-VA, mostly)

dialect (VA, Fugo/Mista/Giorno)--myrkks's fics are generally very good

a soft place to fall (VA, Trish-centric)--another one where I rec everything the author has written

this love ain't made for the faint of heart (post-SDC, Holly-centric)--but also you should just read librisdedita's fics! for that good open-wound trauma mood!

House of Four Doors (post-VA, Bruno/Abbacchio, two mentally ill people falling in love :') )--obviously you should be reading kawauso if you aren't already

The Shortest Route Was a Detour (SBR, Johnny/Gyro, I am SUCH a sucker for interactive fiction)

tidal volume (JJL, Josefumi-centric)

Eventuality (BT, Joseph/Caesar...sort of, ITERATIVE STORYTELLING!!!!! *rattles the table vigorously*)

Anyway, that's probably enough to get you started, haha.

(Also totally respect the anon--I am also painfully shy and VERY bad at initiating conversations--but I promise I am very friendly if you ever want to talk off anon!)
