My Fanfiction Recs: Korrasami

In 2020, I watched The Legend of Korra. (Fun fact: it helped me realize and accept that I was bi! So the show has a special place in my heart.) Crazy enough, I started reading Korrasami fanfiction the same year. For the next three years I devoured the fanfiction, and so the following list is an accumulation of my favorites. I think I've read enough to say these are some of the best. Though I haven't been into the fandom lately, I didn't want this old list to go to waste in case anyone was hunting for some good Korrasami reads.

Actually, I discovered some of my favorite stories through Tumblr blogs and am immensely grateful for those posters for sharing their lists. This is my way of paying it forward. Hope someone can enjoy these like I did.

I divvied these up in a way that only made sense to past me. Linked the Ao3 in titles. (You might have to be logged in to see some of these.) I tried to add some commentary for each. Also, I highlighted the ones in blue I really recommend you to read, though I do think everything here is worth a read! Without further ado, here is my compiled list of (Korrasami):

fanfics (that are actually quality)

beautiful prose & the feels

The Everthere by guileheroine My favorite one of them all. I would argue this is one of the best fanfics, if you like a cozy and character-driven read. You really get into Korra and Asami's heads and moods. Slow burn but so, so worth it. I've read this one three times.

Nightmares and Daydreams by Dispari It's been a while since I read this one, but I had a note saying this is "maybe my 2nd fave". Similar tone to The Everthere.

it’s such a gorgeous sight to see you in the middle of the night by badkids This is on almost every recommendation list I've seen. For a reason. College AU. Some angst but a whole lot of fluff and some humor and of course, dorkiness. Another cozy read. The title is from that The Cure song and is also one of my favorite lyrics ever.

like broken thunder by neurolingual Camp counselor AU. All of this writer's works are amazing. They truly have a gift for writing beautiful prose. This time, it's Asami pining for Korra, a different perspective from most fanfics.

I don't remember these as well, but I do remember them being very good and well worth a read. (I know I reread some of these.) And I haven't seen some of these on other lists, so I guess there are some hidden gems in the mix. Some shorter parenthetical notes here.

this winter, you're here by camphollstein (Modern AU. Asami POV. I think Asami was the one pining here. I also liked the family feels.)

all the choirs in my head sing, no by lupine (Canon AU. Short and cute.)

waiting for my chance to come by badkids (Sequel to it’s such a gorgeous sight to see you in the middle of the night)

if these sheets were the states by neurolingual (canon, sad with happy ending, pining/yearning, oh also Asami Pining)

be a girl like any other by neurolingual (grocery store au)

these little moments that lead me to you by raininthesea (quietly beautiful writing)

meet me at the rooftop's edge (at 3 am) by raininthesea (college au)

Out of the Woods series by ariadnerue (canon if I recall right? very feels)

One on One by paxbanana (canon. Asami Pining!)

Auld Lang Syne by aizia (modern au. how to tell your best friend you love her on new year's.)

Prison My Eyes by wreckofherheart (beautiful, canon divergence between books 3 and 4)

unique story

The Honeymooners by hellorhogwartsfics Honestly, should fall under the above category too, but the story really stood out. It was a wild ride! Modern AU. Asami is a jilted bride and her best friend Korra is there for her to take the place of her husband for the honeymoon. I'm a big fan of this author's humor too.

Brittle Wires by golari This was such a unique AU and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Maybe my 3rd fave. The way they wrote Korra and Asami here was so unique. Their interactions are subtle but meaningful. I'm also a fan of nerdy Korra and a secretly pining Asami. It shows the work as unfinished, but it's complete since the author was just thinking of adding an Asami POV chapter.

and you lift me up in a wave of love by overnights (Surfer AU, this one gave me a warm feeling I recall. Read it if you like the beach and sand. And rock.)

Maybe by selftaughthuman (Beautiful one-shot, feels, set in Boston)

Permeate by contronym (Mechanic AU, 2nd person POV, lil cliché but beautiful prose makes up for it)

humor!

An odd category, I know. But some of these really made me laugh out loud, all snorting and uglylike. Enjoy.

All These Lines Are Blurring by hellorhogwartsfics Vegas AU baby! I laughed so hard I cried at times. Opal is amazing here. I've read all of this author's Korrasami works.

Quick Bright Things by LadyRavenEye Oh, this one was absolutely wonderful. Do not skip the footnotes, that's where the humor is! Fake marriage AU. Both are oblivious.

p = mgh (potential) by the_oreo (another damn college au, crack lol, frivolously fantastic)

Paradiddle by bazaar (marching band au, very fluffy)

Sato, #22, Shooting Guard by MidoriAkiko (I don’t remember this much, but it’s slapstick funny. some angst tho. slow burn like most on this list)

fluffy and light-hearted

Direct to Video by Emirael (another college au, so much damn fluff)

Company by golari (both are nerds! cute and informative)

Time for You by AnotherShotofBourbon (soulmate oneshot, dorky)

cooler than the flip side of my pillow by camphollstein (FLUFF also literally)

Absolute Beginners by ReneeMontoya (college au! pining)

That's it! There's a lot more great ones out there, but these were just ones that personally stood out to me. I also wanted to highlight some lesser-known ones and give them some love! Hopefully this list was useful to some soul out there craving for some good stories about our girls. Happy reading! :)

My Korrasami Fanfiction: Shared Moments Series

Shared Moments: The Legend of Korrasami

The goal of Shared Moments is to detail Korra and Asami's love story, how they weather the trauma thrown their way, and how they grow their relationship despite the storms that beset them. That's why it's called Shared Moments actually.

Author: TheBirdWrites

Series Begun: 2023-02-21

Description:

This series will delve into the world of Avatar in depth, exploring the Spirit World, spirit energy, technology, bending styles, and political systems. It's mostly from Asami Sato's perspective with chapters also from Korra's, Bolin's, Mako's, and Jinora's perspectives. We begin halfway through Book 1 after Asami rescues Korra and friends from her father. Book two is a complete rewrite, and Books 3 and 4 and the comics will show the ripple effects of that rewrite. The comic Ruins of Empire will not appear in this series. Instead, a Book 5 (post-finale) story is planned that focuses on the consequences from the prior books and the implications of spirit energy/weaponry.

Notes:

I decided to rewrite Book 2 - Spirits mostly because I wanted more from that season, and it felt too rushed. My version will be have similar story beats, but will tackle the material from a different angle.

Stats: Words (as of 10/1/2023, number will increase as more books completed): 832,360

Works: 5 out of 9

Synopses: Book 1

This book is only a few scattered scenes that happen between the canon show's scenes, and they focus primarily on Korra and Asami building a friendship.

This is finished.

Book 1.5

This book details Asami's tale of how she deals with the trauma of her father's attempt on her life and inheriting all of Future Industries and the mansion.

This is finished (Note: I might add a chapter that is only art later).

Book 2

For this book, I rewrote canon story with Korrasami in mind and fusing the civil war arc with the spirit arc. Asami discovers a hidden sect of Southerners who have knowledge of spiritual techniques, so Korra and her start an investigation into the spirit attacks, while Korra struggles with whether she can trust her increasingly authoritarian uncle. Team Avatar has to race against time to stop a World War.

This is finished.

Book 2.5

For this book, Asami deals with PTSD from her role in the final battles of the World War, where she saw most of the action. Her and Korra are now officially together, but they struggle with what that means. Asami also must deal with her mansion and the fact someone has broken into it.

This is finished.

Book 3

In this book, our Krew goes on an airship adventure to rebuild the Air Nation, only to discover a conspiracy in Ba Sing Se, and the news of a deadly group that is hellbent on ending the Avatar and the Avatar's Mirror. This books closely follows the canon story, but has the ripple effects of my prior books.

Completed as of 9/15/2023.

Book 3.5

Korra and Asami head South to help heal from the poisoning they suffered from Zaheer. Except, Korra has insisted Asami split her time between Republic City and the South. Asami, recognizing her role as the Avatar's Mirror, takes up her mantle to try to unravel political unrest in Republic City and the Earth Kingdom. A Civil War looms between Ba Sing Se and Omashu, and Asami has no idea who to trust anymore. While assisting Asami's burgeoning mutual aid network, members of the Air Nation discover alarming news relating to the potential Civil War. Asami goes undercover with the Krew, while she struggles to balance her work with her own healing and her relationship with Korra.

Meanwhile, Korra falls deeper into depression and wonders if the world truly needs an Avatar after all.

First chapter posted 9/20/2023 - will post updates 2 to 3 times a week at most.

Book 4

It will follow loosely canon Book 4 but I'm cutting out some of the comedic characters, and focusing more on the Air Nation and Team Avatar.

Asami and Korra reunite after Korra vanishes for six months, and Korra discovers who the stranger masked fighter was that had protected her in her six month sojourn. The two work together to build up a plan to stop Kuvira's plot to take over the entire continent and all surrounding islands, including the Fire Nation.

Currently this book is still in planning stage with a few scattered scenes written.

Book 4.5

Korra and Asami's Spirit World Vacation.

Not yet posted to AO3, but it's mostly finished.

Book 5

This book details Team Avatar up against an arms race to stop the development of spirit weapons, and to find a way to bridge peace across the world.

This book is still being planned so plot may change as I think through how best to tackle the themes.

Other Notes: I include my fanart in the series as well! Book 3 currently has the majority of my art since that's when I started to get good enough to share more of it.

So head on over and read if interested! Send kudos! Leave comments, and enjoy. :)

[suburbanweeb]

I need some good Korrasami fics now that AO3 is back up. Anyone have any recommendations?

[owl127]

New here and new to the rainbow community, I’ve heard of clexa, but who are the others, im looking for wlw shows and new ships. Will you help?

Welcome to the party !

There's a lot of cool wlw ships out there! Here's some of my favorites:

Korrasami is from Avatar the Legend of Korra, and it's a cartoon from Nickelodeon that aired from 20... Something something, until 2015, I think. Millennials out there remember! I totally recommend the show, though it has a teen vibe. You can find it on Netflix. It's not as explicit as it could be about the lesbian relationship because Nickelodeon was a total jerk back then.

Wayhaught is from Wynonna Earp, a show from SYFY (also on Netflix last time I checked), and it's completed! sci-fi demons meet cowboys, guns, and pew-pew! Not a kids show.

Okay, this one is wlw in fanfiction only, but it's worth mentioning: Supercorp (Supergirl on Netflix). The show is okay with LGBT representation, but Supercorp is not canon. Interesting show if you like the vibe! Amazing fandom, though 😏

Avatrice in Warrior Nun (Netflix, cancelled, but there's some hub hub going on for it to keep going somewhere else. If anyone have updates, please share). Nuns falling in love? End of the world angel/demons duels? Super-powerful-goofy-lesbian crushing on a super-skilled-ninja-nun? The tension! The jokes! The punches! the tension! (I mean sexual tension now)

CaitVi is from Arcane on Netflix. Amazing show; the direction and art is to die for. Really, it's a masterpiece. Story is good too. Slow burn though, and there's just one season out, so get ready!

Ellie x Dina in the last of us part 2 (PS4 game). I'm familiar with it, I ship it like crazy, so definitely worth the mention.

Bumbleby in RWBY (Rooster teeth - they have their own website). Are you into jock-bimbo/nerdy couples? Those girls are for you. And the fandom has a side of Whiterose, so lots of gayness around. Animation, teen focused, slow burn (literally 10 years and counting), but amazing fighting scenes.

Catradora is from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power on Netflix. Also teen vibes, but a really good animation show. Hybrid-cat-girl with a dark past plus chosen-bimbo-warrior with a darker past? Yeah, sign me up.

Other shows to consider: Killing Eve (drama), DC's legends of tomorrow (Avalance, super hero pew-pew - dig in if you like Supergirl)... People, help with more recs! (Please)

And if you like books... Oh boy, that deserves a post of its own! Lots of cool lesbian fantasy out there!

1, 34, 36, & 41? 😊

1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work?

That depends on what ship they were looking for, I suppose. If it was Korrasami, I’d probably say Book 5: A New Path is the best start. For Korvira, maybe Starting Over.

34. What aspects of your writing are inspired by/taken from your real life?

Occasionally I’ve had things that have happened to me that I decided to write about. I’ve also used my own experience as an autistic adult to help me write autistic characters too. But mostly I try not to interject my own life into my writing. Fanfiction is my escape from reality.

36. Do you visualize what you read/write?

Yes. Actually a lot of my fics started out as dreams, that I then expanded upon. It’s hard to explain. It’s kinda like a movie in my head, that I then have to convert back into a script. I hope that makes sense.

41. Link a fic that made you think, ��Wow, I want to write like that.”

This one is easy. There’s only one fic that made me feel like that.

It’s Korrasami, but this is easily some of the best writing I’ve seen in this fandom. I absolutely adore the angst in this fic, and the other parts of the series are great reads too. I highly recommend checking them out.

Thanks for the ask!

[bunnygirl-titties]

Ohh since you’re so into abo does that mean you read fanfiction??

If not that’s totally cool! but if you DO

what kind do you read! who do you read about! do you have any fun recommendations!

(Sorry I get really excited about people reading fan fiction especially horny fanfic it’s so fun 🥰)

I do read fanfiction!

Most of what I read has been Korrasami, Vikyuri, wayhaught and catradora! (I mostly read wlw but I do like mlm I just have to find ships I like lol)

Actually @cazy367 writes a lot of the Korrasami stuff I like!!

And I would have to go through my bookmarks on AO3 to get the others!

I’m actually looking for more stuff and more fandoms to get into so I can read more works so if /YOU/ have and recommendations please share them 🥰🥰

International Fanworks Day 2022 - Classic Fic Recs

In case you have not seen this.

“On February 13th, 2022, AO3 made a news posts encouraging users to post their recommendations of "classic" fics, while acknowledging the definition of classic may vary from user-to-user. These were the fics recommended that day in the comment section.”

This is an excellent collection on AO3 that includes a many brilliant femslash fics: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/IFDRecs

Many fandoms, including (there are more).

Harry Potter

Marvel Cinematic Universe

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018)

Warehouse 13

Pitch Perfect (Movies)

The Owl House (Cartoon)

The Old Guard (Movie 2020)

Supergirl (TV 2015)

Note on the number of works / filters:

There are 74 to 129 F/F fic in the collection.

If you just set the include filter to F/F you get 129, but this includes some fics in which the F/F ship is the background/side ship to a main ship which is M/M or M/F.

If you set the filters to include F/F and exclude M/M and M/F the number is 74 (but this might exclude fics in which the main ship is F/F ...)

This has bigger impact in some fandoms (such as Harry Potter) and less in others.

Here is a link with the filters to get the narrow F/F selection.

hello there!

[hedgethemaze]

You always bring great korrasami art on my dash!! So I was wondering what your favourite korrasami fics would be?

Aw, thanks^^ But I can't take that credit (never have, never will). It's not me who 'brings' the Korrasami art, it's the artists - whom I always tag first in my reblogs 😁

But see? this is why rebloging/sharing is so important, to spread others' talent and make it seen by more people that like it as well. And to credit the right source is equally important so - as much as I aprecciate the compliment (at least, I take it as such) - please, let the real creators know how much you like and appreciate their work.

That would make me really happy 😄

Okay anon, you asked for it! Long answer ahead because you just asked about my favs and I'm such a broken record about'em!

Also, I apologize in advance because this is going to look like fic recs and I don't know if you asked for that, specifically. But these ARE, indeed, some of my most favorite korrasami works (as for as fanfiction is concerned lol)

From the top of my head this are the ones I can't stop reading (a.k.a. I've read more than once)

It goes without saying, lanagotconed20's Road Trip series is at the top of that list. Specifically, I remember part 9 , 'All In, All Yours' being one I almost know by heart💘 but seriously, you can't go wrong with ANY of Lana's stories. They're all fantastic, and I actually did a ranking of her works to date (the complete ones, at least) a few months back, here

@hohfics Marriage or Bust has 2 complete works (same universe different paths) and damn, what masterpieces!🤩

I couldn't possibly decide between them because both are incredibly well written and convey so much emotion! Plus, there's moments on both stories that get your heart racing (either because of how intensely romantic or frightening they are) But from the two I have to give a shoutout to 'The Honeymooners' for being the very first Korrasami fic I ever read - a really high bar that I'm elated to know has been met by many great authors!

ireallyshouldnt_behere's 'Would you risk it ALL?' is a doctor au, with Korra being a cancer patient and it's fine if you're not into that but, just so you know, amongst the medical drama aspect of it there's many fun and heart warming moments and quite the satisfying ending - well, technically not an ending since is the first part of a series, but it's not complete, and the second part hadn't hooked me as much as this one. But the author has other korrasami works you may want to check out 😉

The Seeking Balance trilogy by @simplykorra is the best canon-divergence fic I've read! The way Korra's struggles and traumas are depicted through these stories (specially, the first two parts is MIND. BLOWING. and though I couldn't recommend one story more than the others (the journey is best experienced from start to finish), there's something so heart wrenching about the second part, 'Relapse' (as if the tittle didn't pull you in deeply enough) that just makes me point it out - if only to read Korra's parting letter to Asami at the end of that story. It squeezes my heart every time I read it and I can only imagine Asami's anger, sadness and fear as she reads it.

This is without a doubt my favorite 'what if' korrasami fic and I can't thank the author enough for the way it turned out! 😄👏

Last, but not least, my latest discovery/obsession is *drum rolls* @greatestchange Roll with the Punches series, it isn't complete (yet) but there's tons of top-notch content amongst the 10 works it has written by now. It is my latest reading and it easily skyrocketed to the top of my fav korrasami works, I'm still in shock!🤯

But this series comes with a *warning sign* as it is the most painful, intense, gut-punching stuff I've ever read. Some of these works, e.g the main tittled story, and the ones I'm about to be mentioned are basically "angst turned up to 11".

I gave a brief description of my experience reading that one here, if you want better understand what I think/feel about it (my opinion holds up to this day!) plus, you can check out my rwtp tag for some really good art and a few highlighted passages of certain chapters that got to me very deeply.

One tip though, I can't recommend enough that you read the main RWTP first before reading certain other works, namely 'Senna', 'Nebraska', 'The Offer', 'Family Reunion' and 'Shattered' (all in that order).

But in case you want to read some of the 'lighter' ones (and I use that word loosely because they're all intense in some way or another), some I really enjoyed reading, besides the unskippable ones are 'Say You'll Be There', 'The Assistant' and 'The Fire Place'(ch. 7 of Afterward, which is a collection of snippets). These latter works are one-shots but give you a good taste of the main story without being the main story.

I know, I know, that's a lot of reading but I really hope you get around to check at least some of these and maybe leave a comment on them. Let the authors know of your thoughts, they all deserve to know how much they're appreciated and a simple 'I love this story/your work' are never small words!

And I should've said this before, but since I don't know how old you are, please check the rating and tags of the stories since there's very mature stuff in there.

Road Trip, I think is the more PG of these literary creations, and by far the one with the most fluff out of these, but honestly - with over 30 works made - it has something to please all kinds of tastes. Though, is not excent of explicit content. But trust me, it's absolutely NOT in bad taste and very organic.

RWTP, I'd say is the extreme opposite with almost zero room for 'fluff' and, by FAR, the most mature series of them all (it deals with lots of heavy topics), but while most of the time you get pain instead of pleasure, the moments you spot the latter are that much, much sweeter, and in my experience they're more than worth it to reach!

And as far as AU's go, those two along with Marriage or Bust, are must-reads for any Korrasami shipper.

Thanks for writing, sorry it took me this long to answer😅 And I hope you enjoy your reading, anon! 👋

[southsidestory]

If you are queer af (as you say), why the only thing I see on your blog are f/m ships?

you don't like ship f/f-wlw?

This is a shitty ask. Like a *really* really shitty ask. Just gonna make that clear right off the bat.

Yes, I am as queer af as I say! Questioning that because of what I ship is absurd.

You wanna see the queer content on my blog? Then check my #stucky and #utena and #korrasami tags. There's a little Mor x Emerie and Kelly x Yorkie (from the "San Junipero" episode of Black Mirror, which I highly recommend, my fave queer rep ever) and Stormpilot and Finnreylo and Gallavich and Sambucky and InoSaku and a number of other queer ships scattered throughout my blog as well! But I guess you didn't search too thoroughly before you sent this. 🥰

Most of the fanfic I write is f/m, yes, but not all of it, and even in those stories I often feature queer secondary ships. Some of my best fics are my Stucky works (m/m), I've ventured into Stormpilot (m/m) and Finnreylo (f/m/m), and I'm very proud of my Utena/Anthy story (f/f).

The latter of which, by the way, is one of my less popular fics. Because fandom largely does not give a flying fuck about f/f couples, especially when you want to write them as anything besides fluffy uwu girlfriends!!! Which is not my jam. I like dark angsty romance, and that is very much against what fandom expects from f/f ships. I don't write based on fandom expectations, but I will admit that this obsession with making all wlw content soft and sweet has soured my interest in writing f/f fic. I find it annoying, and annoyance is not conducive to creativity.

I also write a lot of original stories, and guess what, many of them feature queer characters! The first novel I wrote with @reylotrashcompactor is a f/m romance with two bisexual leads. We have a college series planned that has wlw couples, mlm couples, f/m couples, enby romance, and some poly rep too.

But more importantly, it's incredibly rude and queerphobic to suggest that I have to prove my queerness with what I ship. Shockingly, I can write, read, watch, and reblog things that don't always reflect my life and identity! I do not need to perform my queerness via goddamn fandom for my identity to be real.

For the record, I am not a lesbian, and your ask implies that my fictional interests have to be f/f in order to reflect my queer experience. Apart from how problematic that is in and of itself, you're basing it off wrong assumptions about my identity. I'm biromantic and greyace. I've written a number of fics in which characters in f/m relationships are bi and one in which Sakura is on the ace spectrum (see: To Leave Your Love Behind).

If you wanted me to pRoVe my sexuality via my fanfiction to your tastes, your complaint should be that I'm not writing enough ace characters! Which is highly unlikely to happen more, because I really enjoy writing smut, and that is much harder for me to do when I'm portraying a character whose sexuality is closer to my own. If you expect me to apologize for that, you will be deeply disappointed.

And on top of all of that, I WAS MARRIED TO A WOMAN FOR SIX YEARS AND IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH HER FOR OVER A DECADE!!! Please explain to me how my shipping preferences trump my fucking marriage. I'll wait.

tl;dr I don't owe you anything, my queerness isn't contingent upon my shipping, and expecting me to perform my identity to your satisfaction is gross and prejudiced as hell 🙃

P.S. to my followers: I almost deleted this ask but we need to talk about this issue more. I keep seeing the idea that the fiction people create and consume has to reflect their identities. But only if they're marginalized, of course!! It's bullshit. It's dangerous. It's unfair. And it needs to die with fire.
