Do you also have favorite fics by fandom favorite authors but that are not the authors most known/popular fic? I just noticed I have that for nearly every one :D Lettered? The Fall of the Veils. Tepre? Trouble, My Old Friend. Tackytiger? A Lick and a Promise. Firethesound? What Dreams May Come etcetc This is not to say that the popular ones are not incredible (!!) as well but its like my own particular interests/charactersation/tropes are usually catered to in the "lesser known" fics
I definitely have, and I think many people feel like that! Sometimes niche fics can feel very personal as if they were especially written for us, which is not to say that popular fics are not fantastic (after all, they’re popular for a reason). I’m all for reccing lesser known fics, especially written by prolific authors that usually get recced by the same story over and over 🙌 I’m listing below my favorites lesser knows fics by the authors mentioned, plus a few additions of my own. I’d love to hear everyone’s picks!
Aideomai: Intelligence
Bixgirl: In the Red
Femme: Black Coffee on a Lonely Night
Firethesound: REVOLVEVLOVER (with zeitgeistic)
Lettered: The Eighth Tale
LQT: A Pain of Our Choosing
Shifty: Five Years
Tacky: Take the Moon
Tepre: Us, in Lieu
Writcraft: Merlin’s Kitchen

I'm not the original anon either, but do you have any skk fic recs of them getting together/admitting their feelings at 22 thats not an au?
I tried to remember which ones of my bookmarks had that kjshdaksjhd
it must be because i love you by communist_sasuke (T, 5k, skk through time as they "can't think around each other" based on quotes from Fifteen and SB)
Narrow Staircases by rutu14 (T, 31k, 16!Chuuya shows up because of an ability and 22 skk face feelings)
the same groove by halfbloom (T, 7.6k, Dazai knows he's in love with Chuuya from the start of the fic and Chuuya takes years to catch up)
The Gravity on Jupiter and Mars by Leonawriter (T, 1.9k, Chuuya is sick and as usual Dazai only shows softness to a Chuuya who's half-unconscious. Dazai sings Fly Me to the Moon.)
another round of lost and found by zenelly (T, 5.5k, injured Chuuya goes to an old safe house and finds a soon-to-be detective there)
Doll Parts by the_most_happy (M, 8.3k, Chuuya shows up injured at Dazai's dorm and they reluctantly work out some things)
BAD DECISIONS (series) by gluetrap (all E, 60k total, 22!skk doing the vulnerability and falling in love all out of order. also switch skk all the way down thank you)
and previously mentioned fics in another ask:
A Doll's House by Abyss_In_WonderLand_likes_sexy_cannibals (M, 45k, Dazai and Chuuya get stuck in an ability-space created to test partnerships and they must overcome all the challenges to get out)
picking a flower that blooms on the heart for you translated by burgundytshirt (M, 44k, Chuuya suddenly gets hanahaki and dies from it, only to wake up the previous morning in a time loop, and sets on to understand what is going on)
#i try to include some lesser known fics but alas i have the same tastes as many people#bsd fanfic#skk#soukoku#ask answered

spuffy fic rec
figured all the time i spend scouring EF and ao3 might be useful to someone!
part 1 - part 2 - part 3
Scooby Crew, Where Are You? by Twinkles [9k]
In a not comics-compliant post-series universe where spuffy have been reunited and everyone else is drifting apart, chaos drops by for a visit. Or a nefarious scheme. I guess we'll find out XD
To Apprehend Air by Quinara [19k]
Two days after LMPTM, Spike's soul is stolen. But that's OK; they can get it back, right? Simple. How hard is it to hop dimensions, anyway? Or storm a castle…
Wild and Wonderful by solstice [23k]
Dawn is nine and three quarters. She is resilient, strange and sharp as a tack. She's a credit to her big sis. But she's just been kidnapped by one of the most notorious vamps of all time - Drusilla. Things look bad. Enter Spike, her very unlikely hero. Spike's relationship with Drusilla has been on the rocks since the Acathala debacle and the morsel in the crate is her double-edged gift to him: a chance to make things right, and a chance to be really bad. Kill the girl and make it hurt. But for some reason he. just. can't. Instead, he tosses the niblet into the trunk of his Desoto and hits the road, leaving his one hundred year relationship in tatters, and grinding his reputation into the dust. Buckle your seat belts nice and tight. We're in for a bumpy ride.
World Enough, and Time by toooldforthis [23k]
“You came back wrong,” he told her, all those years ago. He was right, but it took them a very long time to realise exactly what that meant. It meant a hundred more apocalypses, a thousand battles. It meant a journey, a prophecy, a war. They’d lose one other, and find their way back, and choose, again and again. And all the while, the earth was failing. There are a lot more people than you think who are here for the long haul – like, the really long haul. This is a story about two of them.
Once You Eliminate the Impossible by yellowb [30k]
Icelandic noir. Inspector Summers of the Reykjavik police force has finally got her big chance: she’s in charge of a murder case.
sometimes enough by taxicab12 [35k]
“Tell me everything,” Willow said, not sounding particularly like she’d been asleep. “Are his friends cool?” Buffy blinked. “Some of them. There was this one British guy—” “Ooh, accents, hot.” “—who wouldn’t stop staring at my boobs,” she finished. “Ew, men, gross.” “Spike,” Buffy said with a scoff. “What kind of name is that?” Or, Buffy falls in love and in love and in love. For some reason, life keeps happening anyway
ever waiting airports (full of the love that you deserve) by womanaction [41k]
Buffy catches up with Riley's helicopter, solving one problem and introducing a host of others. How is she supposed to rebuild their crumbling relationship in the face of an angry hellgod out for blood, an emotional teenage sister who spent millennia as a glowing ball of energy, and a weirdly helpful vampire? Season 5 rewrite from "Into the Woods" on.
GTFO by Girlytek [54k]
Spike doesn’t take the extra hundred bucks to be the decoy. Ethan doesn’t hang around to gloat. With the Initiative on their tail (just a little one), and Ethan needing a good being killed, Spike and Fyarl-Giles get out of town. There’s nothing like a road trip to put your demons in perspective.
Care by Sigyn [72k]
While under her Will Be Done spell, Willow just happened to say “I don’t care about anything,” and as a result, wanders blithely off as a vengeance demon. Spike and Buffy are left to protect a threatened Xander and a blind Giles while under the effect of a powerful love charm. But all is not happy in paradise – they’re still constantly fighting, and Angel is determined to end the spell they’re under. In a desperate attempt to collect the tattered remains of all their lives, ex-watcher Wesley Windham-Pryce is called in to try and play marriage counselor between the vampire and the slayer.
The Soul Lies Down by the_moonmoth [73k]
"As a child, I used to dream of a man in black and white, spinning in the desert like a dervish, sword flashing in the moonlight as he danced with death." Dawn travels back in time to save the vampire who saved her life. It's not purely out of sentiment, though -- the fate of the world is at stake (again) and somehow Spike is at the center of events. If only he can stay on the right side of Buffy. A sequel to Angearia's "Fin Amour".
Summer’s Lease by Iamblichus [86k]
Buffy thought it would be just another night of slaying lame-ass campus vampires, but one green demon, some unexpected help from Spike, and a spurt of fluorescent blood later, she finds that her world has acquired a novel complication.
Indigo Overture by Rikki_oko [119k]
Spike's just a drummer, content to live in lead singer Angel's shadow. But when a certain blonde strolls in on Angel's arm, will Spike be content to take the backseat forever? Loosely based on the eighties song, Jesse's Girl.
#there’s a bit of everything in there#obviously catered to my taste but hopefully some people agree!#i’m gonna try and include more lesser known writers in the next one#spuffy#spike x buffy#buffy x spike#spuffy fic#spuffy fic rec#spuffy fic recs#spuffy ficrec#spuffy ficrecs#mine

fic recs should also have lesser known underrated fics!!! not just fandom classics and fics that are already well loved and popular !!! that's the whole point of recommending i feel 😅
I am. not sure if you're saying that all the fics I recommended are fandom classics (they weren't!), or if this is pointing out what I tried to do, which is highlight more underrated fics.
Yes there were some absolute monsters that everyone knows and loves, like Error in the Code, but I feel I put a pretty good blend of well-known and unknown fics as well. I haven't been in this fandom all that long so a lot of my bookmarks came from popular fic reccs, and has grown since then.
There's actually a lot of them I didn't recommended bc they already had tens of thousands of hits, and I do believe fic reccs should have lesser known works, too! It can be discouraging to see the same group of people always recommended, especially when it feels like no one really reads "unknown" fic writers. Luckily KP doesn't seem to suffer from this problem, it's a small enough fandom that it feels like a lot of us are just. Already friends/familiar with each other. But that was a huge problem back in the Star Wars/TfA fandom back in the day. If you weren't a BNF, good luck ending up on a recc list.
At some point I might put together a list of my favorite fandom classics, so to speak, bc I think it's equally shitty to leave someone off of a list just because they're already popular. We're all still just people that crave validation, and there's no such thing as too much praise. I'm just trying to spread the love to everyone I can, popular or not, bc I think everyone deserve to get their fic recc'd at least once. And there's a lot of really amazing fics that don't get the attention I think they deserve!
No one has sent me any recc prompts but I'm building up my own list of ideas, and while my focus is definitely more on less popular works, it's always going to be based on how much I loved the fic itself. Popular fics are popular for a reason! Which is why I think the best thing to do is just try and strike a nice balance. That way everyone gets to be appreciated!
#cookie speaks#i think I've become friends with a lot of the popular writers in this fandom#and i gotta say#everyone EVERYONE needs the reminder that their works are appreciated#it doesn't matter how popular a fic gets#I've never met a single writer that takes it for granted#but yes I very much want to draw attention to lesser known fics#I just want everyone to feel loved and appreciated#💕✨💛

love how the monsterfuckers post is the one that i think i've gotten the most notes on the fastest
really oughtta clean up some of my eldritch warm up sketches, i can see the target audience is finding me
#olrin rambles#like calls to like#one'a these days i'll start yeeting out my original monster and alien romance fics#bc i have a habit of choosing to go for lesser-known monsters/monster concepts#and in my experience anyone who gravitates to eldritch stuff#is equally relieved to see something different

Olympics prompt
So I may end up regretting this, taking a long time, or maybe not even following through (fair warning XD), but I like learning about different Olympic sports, so, in an effort to do so, I thought of a prompt idea:
give me a character (or two) [for a fandom I know] + an Olympic sport, and I'll try to draw or write something for it! 😄⚽️🏊🏃🥇
#DuckTales#Owl House#Carmen Sandiego#Star Trek#Legend of Korra#Avatar: The Last Airbender#any other Disney Universe shows or any other fandoms I know XD (maybe even Dragon Prince??)#my prompts#of course I got this idea during my trip last week when I couldn't do anything about it so the motivation was of course high then XD#but this sounds fun!#I've done two fanworks like this before#a fic with Lotor + Allura featuring the Space Olympics and fencing + gymnastics respectively (loved learning about fencing!)#and (the Olympics was a sub-thought for it) I drew Agent Zari (CS) playing beach volleyball a couple years ago and *that* was really fun!#anyway yeah! really fun to learn about the sports (especially the lesser-known sports) and this gives me motivation to learn about#the finer details of them#though again fair warning it might just end up being me writing a quick drabble or list of headcanons XD#random bonus points thought (if you survive reading this far XD)#bonus points for if you give me a medal place (or no podium at all) situation for the characters that I have to work with

I loved your list of recommended bojere fics! Maybe a part two of your personal favorites?
Thanks sm for the support anon!! It's tough to pick favorites when there's so many amazing Bojere fics out there but here are a few ones that rlly stayed with me!!
by @puppetmasteronastring !! The follow-up parts to this fic are also excellent as well but ngl the original hits different. Jere and Bojan (+some friends) spend midsummer together and the tension between them finally breaks 👀 Their relationship is so tender in this and even tho they don't officially get together in this one you can just tell they were made for each other <3
by anon!! Some sub/dom with Bojere where Bojan is rlly into the idea of Jere talking Finnish during sex but Jere thinks it's cringe haha The concept itself is humorous but it's so well written and it's rlly sweet to read about Bojan and Jere communicating in regards to their sex life and making sure the other is comfortable 💖
by @mitochondriencocktail !! Absolutely iconic fic. It starts out as a sexy hockey AU but it quickly escalated into a genuinely investing story about Bojan and Jere struggling with their deep feelings for each other. Their dynamic is so fun and interesting in this and the chapter where they sit in McDonald's together and talk for the second time rlly lives in my mind rent free😔💖💖 My only criticism is that we missed out on Jere in a skirt 😤 (but we did get Bojan in it 😏)
by maevenn !! Born From Seafoam hits different. Bojere meet on vacation in a very cringe but hilarious way. Jere is so endearing in this and i love how Bojan just goes along with his shenanigans <3 It's rlly quick paced but it perfectly captures that holiday excitement and how quickly things can escalate between two strangers that immediately hit it off. The descriptions of summer and the environments and Bojan's feelings for Jere are just incredible and I really am hoping it'll get finished some day :")💕
by anon !! This was one of the first Bojere fics I ever read so it's very nostalgic to me. Jere accidentally implies he and Bojan are together during an interview, cue the fake relationship trope 🙏 It started off rlly humorous but then it became more and more emotional as they start to develop real feelings for each other and the angst is fantastic!! This one is also unfinished but it doesn't end on a cliffhanger or anything so it definitely doesn't take away from the experience
by anon!! Bojan comforts an upset Jere after the finals.... It does include voyeurism (by Loreen of all ppl lol) which isn't really my thing but it was so well written and tenderhorny that it didn't bother me reading it :) The smut is great and so is the dialogue (+I just love possessive Bojan in fics lol)
by Don't _forget_peanuts !! Felt nostalgic for some more ESC era Bojere.... The tension between Bojan and Jere reaches a boiling point backstage once the finals are over 👀 Bojan's inner dialogue is so fcking funny and the build-up to the smut and the actual smut itself is just....phew 😋 Bro wanted that Käärijussy
by anon.... Sorry I just had to mention this fic. The massive impact (✈) this had on the fandom needs to be recognized. Quotable lines, heart shattering angst...the author being a fcking menace lmao You have not reached the depths of the Kä iceberg yet if you haven't read this fic
#käärijä#bojere#bojan cvjetićanin#fic rec#listen I encourage rec lists with lesser known fics but some of these are just too iconic not to mention#käärijan#anon ask

I’m currently having Spy x Family brain rot, and I want to write something so bad but I’m having trouble coming up with ideas if anyone wants to- I don’t know- give me some so I can sleep easier at night.
#spy x family#spy family#fanfic#It could be anything in reason really#obviously nothing like illegal I have some sanity left#I wanted to do something specifically with Anya and her friends but most of my ideas on that are eh#I know I mostly write like tmnt or lesser known animes but the brain rot is winning on this one#and all be honest a lot of the fanfics for this show are not my cup of tea#don’t get me wrong i love it#but I tend to avoid the Twiyor reveal fics bc I don’t want to ruin the actual reveal for myself

is there any cons of being a popular author? something annoying or maybe something that makes you uncomfortable?
that’s an interesting question. the only thing I can think of is like the more exposure you get, the more likely you are to face negative feedback and entitlement. i also have anxiety so feeling exposed to a lot of ppl in those instances can be difficult.
I also think the plagiarism might’ve happened because I have more exposure?? but then i also found out about it very quickly on both occasions for the same reason. because ppl recognized my fics and called it out.
to me, the pros really outweigh the cons? even with my anxiety, I feel pretty comfortable on tumblr (as opposed to twitter, which wasn’t healthy for me at all…) and i love how many ppl engage with my work. it's weird to think of myself as popular lol... but i'm grateful for where i am fandom-wise rn.
#it makes me sick to think of someone plagiarizing a lesser known fic btw and thinking they can get away with it#also i feel the con here is just that i have anxiety lol

I thought it was smart to choose Tuareg veiling as a research topic for an assignment because it's something I'm interested in and want to write about in fics, but now all I want to do is write and I have no time ;;
#there are a few things in this fandom i consider myself known for but one of those lesser-known things is#the whole headcanon backstory i came up with for yusuf -- with his mother being tuareg. i have a lot of pride for this hc lol#there HAVE been numerous fics by others where yusuf speaks tamazight. like that's not new. but i want to go deeper into his family backstor#discounting the comics -- if the movie puts joe's origins vaguely in north africa then i'm going to be headcanoning.#anyway no one asked for that long fic i'm writing about yusuf and nicolo being childhood friends in the canon universe -#- but it's all i can think of right now and i'm dyyiiiing not being able to write it#also i get embarrassed about the amount of headcanon packed into this fic but if people can write amazing long modern aus -#- which feature OCs of joe and nicky's extended families then i can do that but as a canon-divergent thing. ('trick with a knife' ily)#tidbits about yusuf's mother in the fic: her name is besma. she's tuareg from the sahara. she's the bookkeeper of the family business.#she can read and write and she teaches yusuf tamazight because he's her only child interested in it and who can pick it up so well.#why did she leave her tribe? hmm interesting question. maybe i'll finish the fic when i have time sdfgfdsdfg#i'm just talking to myself in the tags instead of doing my work lmaoo

Lesser Known Doctor Who Fics
Hello everyone! Happy Doctor Who Day — here's some Doctor Who fics that have under 5,000 hits! I hope you enjoy them :)
Take It, Leave It (But you'd better believe it) by lloydsglasses (760)
“I told my foster mum that I’m gay. Now she keeps trying to set me up with guys."
“Ah,” says the Doctor, with a frown. “That seems… counterintuitive."
Self-Defenestration by gawayne (1.2k)
The Doctor jumps out of a window, and Donna discovers he isn’t quite as human as he looks.
I'm a satellite, I'm out of control by rainbow_porcupine_ninja (1.3k)
Yazmin Khan's so tired of running. The Doctor is always rushing, hurrying from one place to the next and never stopping to talk about it. There is always so much running. All Yaz wants to do was sit down.
OR: In which the Doctor and Yaz finally have that talk.
making time by thereweresunflowers (1.3k)
This time, they really have run out of time. It’s sliding away with the melting of her ice cream and the lump she can sense quietly building in Yaz’s throat. In mere hours, there will be so much they’ll have left unsaid.
There’s silence between the two of them and the Doctor has so many regrets.
or, the ice cream in space scene but there's kissing <3
Whatever fits my skin by lloydsglasses (1.4k)
“So, does that happen to you a lot?” Bill asks once they’re safely back in the Doctor’s study, each cradling a mug of tea. “Getting snogged by gorgeous women as a thanks for saving their lives.”
The Doctor sets his teacup down gently on the desk, mouth pursing in distaste. “Far more often than I’d like.”
it's the end of me, i won't let it be the end of us too by starstruckthirteen (1.6k)
“I’m not going to pretend this won’t hurt, Yaz, ‘cause it will and it pains me to tell you that there’s nothing we can do to stop it. But what that sadness means is that we’ve had such an amazing time, together. The Doctor and Yaz in the TARDIS! Just think of everything we’ve done.”
if it's left to chance or fate, i'll be lost by yasminkhxns (1.7k)
It feels like a nightmare. A living, breathing nightmare. Except this is real, and she would happily pluck the worst of her actual nightmares from her brain and trade it for this living hell. Because this is worse than anything her timeworn mind conjures in her fitful sleeps.
Because Yaz has been shot.
And the Doctor is helpless.
don't hold this war inside by WishingTree (1.8k)
“It’s just - I’m scared,” she finally manages.
“Scared?” the Doctor stills where she’s been trying to roll up the sleeves of her coat, shoving the material of one arm over her elbow and asking, “Scared of what?”
Yaz doesn’t answer, can’t answer, and the Doctor goes to reach for her, aborting the movement halfway and only managing an awkward swaying motion.
“...Scared of me?”
By your side by winged_daydreams (2.7k)
Once her breathing had slowed down and her heart didn’t feel like jumping out of her chest anymore, Yaz finally dared to open her eyes and was met with a smiling Doctor looking down on her.
“Hey, you.”
“Hey”, Yaz answered weakly, feeling extremely tired.
“Do you want to check?”
Yaz nodded. It usually helped.
Sitting up a bit, Yaz trailed her hands under the Doctor’s shirt and reached for her back. Her fingers pressed against the soft skin there, searching for wounds or scars.
