Fic Self-Recs

Fic authors self rec! List your favorite five fics that you've written, then tag at least five other writers! Spread the self-love 💞

(Yes, this was originally an ask game, but I know some folks, myself included, have closed asks due to spam, so I guess it's a tag game now 😂)

Thanks for the tag, @elismor! These kinds of things are always so tough, haha (also, it could be kind of cool if there was an art version, since most of these tag things are focused on fics...)

My Heart's Red Muscle - (E, for one smut scene) I think this is probably my best fic, and also one of the longest. Cyborg!Waxer has no memories of his life before he came online. Paired with ARF trooper Boil, who doesn't seem to know what to do with him, Waxer has no idea how to fit in among clones when he's so very different. As he makes connections with those around him, he and Boil try to figure out who he might have been—and more importantly, who he is now.

Kinktober 2022 - (E, obviously) Set in the giant Open Skies AU. Where's that Trojan Horse smut post... Yeah so the fic is basically this for Waxer/Boil 😂

We Could Breathe Underwater - (T) What if shiny Waxer and Boil were both a bit Force-sensitive, and—oopsie, created a Force bond?

Interference - (T) Set in the RCAU/Open Skies AU, but it can be read as a standalone. It follows some OCs and canon characters as they figure out what Krell is up to on Umbara. The problem is that Torrent Company and Waxer's platoon are already on a collision course...

Fading Light and Cooling Space - (T, but heed the tags on this one) After Boil suffers through the horrifying events on Umbara, something nudges him to steal a strange necklace from Krell's body that teleports him to an even stranger place (and time?).

The last two fics are a bit older, so I'm sure they have a lot of room for technical improvement, but I still like them overall.

Thank you for the invitation! Three seasonal recs, plus two older works that could use some love.

The Taste of Truth (ACD Holmes, 25K words) Set in December 1893, when "The Final Problem" hit the news-stands. Watson discovers that Holmes faked his own death -- and has been lying to Watson for years.

Christmas on the Hotspur (Hornblower, 1.5K) A little bit of Christmas fluff. Also available as a podfic by Liliana (8 minutes).

Robe of Misrule (Hornblower, 3K) Christmas genderfuckery (and genderfucking!) With gorgeous fanart by @chiropteracupola.

Holocene Park (Elementary, 25K) Adventure casefic starring dinosaurs under the streets of New York. Come for the cracky premise; stay for the earnest feelings. If I'm remembered for one thing in Elementary fandom, I hope it will be this.

Desperate Men and Fools (ACD Holmes, 11K) Western AU in which Doc and Lock's partnership is tested to its limits. Don't let the crossover put you off; this reads perfectly well as a stand-alone. One of my favorite things I've ever written.

🥺 thank you all so much, i love every single one of you lovely, talented people and i'm honored that you thought of me. i feel so fortunate to have met all of you! 1. kinktober 2024 i haven't finished this one yet because i overestimated myself and burned out in a glorious blaze of exhaustion but it WILL get finished! i actively have at least another 5 prompts in some sort of progress in my drafts right now, and hopefully i'll be able to get to them all relatively soon~ i'm honestly pretty proud of all the prompts i've posted so far, but i think my current favorite is day 10; i wrote 6k words in a single day, which was both stressful and rewarding, but i'm still really happy with the end result! 2. denouement anyone who knows anything about my writing knows by now that i have a weak spot for emotional smut, and this is probably the most successful attempt i've had at that. this one started as a quick little headcanon/drabble i wrote that inspired me to make an entire fic out of, and it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside while i was thinking about it. i don't typically do any sort of fluff, so this is the closest i've ever gotten to it, i think. 😅 3. between the lines of fear and blame okay i know i've talked about this one out a lot before but in my defense i'm still super proud of this one a year after writing it, which is very impressive for me! i am absolutely feral for bloodweave and wish i had any more ideas for these two, but alas. the idea for this one struck me in the middle of a flight and i spent the rest of that flight planning everything out and got to work on it as soon as i checked into my hotel. i put it all together in just a couple days, which is also impressive for me, and i still think of it very fondly. 4. what am i supposed to do (but sink my teeth in you)? the first oneshot i put out with astarion and my tav, ysera. like the specific prompt of my first pick on this list, it's another sex-pollen fic (i am so weak for this trope and you can pry it out of my cold, dead hands). i was really trying to work on certain aspects of ysera's character and her dynamic with astarion, and i'm still so happy with how it turned out. i think i was successful in what i was trying to do! 5. resonance what can i say about this one? this is my first ever fic (which also makes it my first time writing smut) - the one that started it all and my first attempt to participate in fandom... basically ever, really. i was so scared about posting this but seeing where it led me, i'm so glad i did. as far as the writing goes, i honestly don't think this one is all that good, but it's nice to look back and see what i feel is a noticeable improvement in the last year or so of writing. so that's cool! fun fact about this one - it's supposed to take place in the middle of act 2, and i wrote it while i was still partway through my first playthrough. to make a very long (and embarrassing) story short, i accidentally messed up act 2 so badly that i never made it to last light when i was supposed to and found it basically after i had done everything but fight ketheric, and i was like, "well that's weird, i wonder why this abandoned/destroyed inn is here, guess i'll use it as the setting for my silly little fic." so if any of you read it and think, "now hold on just a second here..." yeah... yeah. lmao.

Friday Fic Recs

Last year over the week of my birthday I rambled about some of my own fics. This year, I have a fic rec format! So, for this Friday Fic Recs I am self-reccing some of the fics I wrote in the last year of my life. Arranged in descending wordcount order and incidentally reverse posting order. Includes two fandoms.

No, I'm Not Afraid To Disappear (Star Wars)

Stass Allie time loop fic! Stass Allie time loop fic! Time travel fix-its have always been a favorite of mine and an outsider perspective? I love turning the plot of a super famous movie into an increasingly awful mystery for the main characters to unravel. Angst and trust issues and betrayal! Do note the tags! I mean them. Also, this is a big bang fic so there's lovely art as well!

This Is All Your Fault (Star Wars)

A fun one shot with Maul and Obi-Wan as little padawan rivals stuck in a bad situation. I like to think it's funny. There's plenty of bickering and troublemaking from both of them. Also, Mace gets a moment to shine as a good master.

What We Never Know (Batman)

Looking back on it, what would he say? This is the last one shot from this fandom to see the light of day back in September. It centers on Tim and Jack Drake's relationship, specifically Tim's emotions about his dad and the fact he never had a chance to tell him he's bi. This is mushing two continuities together for the sake of introspective queer angst and I'm happy with it.

oh man oh man we're gonna have to go digging in my non-bl fic because there's a couple that i love and re-read often.

The Life I Choose (5472 words) Fandom: Dragon Age: Inquisition Relationships: The Iron Bull/Cullen Rutherford Characters: Cullen Rutherford, The Iron Bull (Dragon Age) Additional Tags: POV Cullen Rutherford, Dissociation, Kirkwall-related Trauma and Recovery, Lyrium Withdrawal, Character Secretly Has Tentacles, Tentacle Dick, Brief Hypnotism, Body Horror Cullen discovers in Bull someone to share parts of himself that he hasn't shared since Kirkwall.

I wrote this for an exchange but now it's genuinely one of my favorite fics to give a little re-read when I'm sad. I love it very, very dearly.

Yes, And (10393 words) Fandom: Our Flag Means Death (TV) Relationships: Wee John Feeney/Frenchie Characters: Frenchie (Our Flag Means Death), Wee John Feeney, Original Trans Character(s) Additional Tags: Meet-Cute, Pre-Canon, Non-Traditional Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Mating Cycles/In Heat, Fluff and Smut, POV Frenchie (Our Flag Means Death), Molly House, Alpha Frenchie (Our Flag Means Death), Omega Wee John Feeney, Intersex Wee John Feeney, Queer Themes, Nipple Play, Male Lactation, Knotting, Mpreg, Coming Untouched, Casual Sex Work Sometimes life throws you something you aren't expecting. If you're Frenchie and Wee John, you roll with it.

You know when you write the fic that you love the most but nobody in the fandom really likes it? That's this fic. I have an entire long AU with these two in my head that this fic is just the beginning of. I love it so much.

Sweetest Downfall Fandom: KinnPorsche: The Series (TV) Relationships: Pete Phongsakorn Saengtham/Kinn Anakinn Theerapanyakun Characters: Pete Phongsakorn Saengtham, Kinn Anakinn Theerapanyakun, Khun Tankhun Theerapanyakun, Big (KinnPorsche: The Series) Additional Tags: Grief/Mourning, Angst, Pre-Canon, Under-negotiated Kink, Belts, Bad Ideas, Bottom Kinn Anakinn Theerapanyakun, Top Pete Phongsakorn Saengtham, Masochism, Sadism, Obedience, Anal Sex, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, POV Pete Phongsakorn Saengtham, the cock is only mildly healing, in spite of everyone's best intentions "Should I kiss you?" he asks.   Dark eyes turn away and Kinn's lips press into a thin line. Tears gather at the corners of Kinn's eyes. "No. Kissing is only for people we love."   After Tawan's death, Pete helps Kinn.

THIS STORY. it still wrecks me emotionally when I think about it and I think I wrote the best Kinn I've ever written right here. The cock really is only mildly healing.

ruining me completely (1562 words) Fandom: เล่นจนเป็นเรื่อง | Playboyy (Thailand TV 2023) Relationships: Phop Piphop Srikaew/Nuth Nuthakrit Varindr-Vachararodch Characters: Nuth Nuthakrit Varindr-Vachararodch, Phop Piphop Srikaew Additional Tags: Self-Discovery, Gender Dysphoria, Character Study "I've tried it," Phop says, looking at the marigold-yellow dress that Nuth holds out like it'll bite him. "Dresses and stuff. Dressing up. It never fits right."

Nuth doesn't know how to say that he wants Phop to try again for him, so he says instead, "I picked it out. It compliments your color, and it's cute. Flowy, right?" It was the style Phop said he'd wear, if he could.

Writing this fic gave me so many feelings and now re-reading it gives me many more. I want to cover this Phop in flowers and all the pretty things he wants but distances himself from. The only non-explicit fic on this list!

ball and chain (2459 words) Fandom: เล่นจนเป็นเรื่อง | Playboyy (Thailand TV 2023) Relationships: Prom Prompitch Ponglert/Nont Nontnapas Saktawee, Prom Prompitch Ponglert/Nant Nantnarin Saktawee, Aob Anand Aiemwilai & Prom Prompitch Ponglert Characters: Prom Prompitch Ponglert, Nant Nantnarin Saktawee, Aob Anand Aiemwilai, Nont Nontnapas Saktawee Additional Tags: Coda, Episode 2, POV Prom Prompitch Ponglert, Character Study, when you crack a character open and the horrors emerge, Drug Use, Captivity, Implied/Referenced Drug Addiction, Anal Fingering, Anal Sex, Choking, Masochism, Masturbation, Under-negotiated Kink, hoping your boyfriend's twin is the evil one, brief Jason/Prom While the boy who isn't Nant is still draped over Prom, clueless, a message pings Prom's phone. Prom shifts away and looks at the screen, and of course it's Nant. where? did you go?? it doesn't take that long to smoke prompitchhhhhh

I think I am most pleased with how this fic came out, of all the Playboyy fic I've written. I hit everything I wanted to hit and the mood is so cohesive and lovely.

Thank you @cryptidafter for the ask! this was fun!

Self-recs (funny round)

I was tagged by @sallysavestheday @zealouswerewolfcollector @grey-gazania to rec 5 of my own fics, thank you! I love that this keeps cycling around, loving seeing everyone's recs. This time I'm gonna do a humour theme.

Five favourite funny fics by me:

Everlasting Darkness (E, 10.2k). After attempting to steal the Silmarils, Maedhros and Maglor are taken captive and sentenced to serve those they wronged. Earendil/Maedhros, Elwing/Maglor.

“Hmm,” Eärendil said, busying himself with the mooring lines. “I suppose I understand the fetters, but it seems a bit cruel, don’t you think?” He glanced over to where Maedhros knelt. “And I could really use another pair of ha– ah, another hand on board.”

The Magic Flute (M, 6.7k). Daeron wanders from Doriath and rebounds with a son of Fëanor. No, not that one.

“One of the Iathrim? Singing? By the river?” Caranthir didn’t turn away from the plans in front of him–designs for the reconstruction of Amon Ereb’s gates.  “Ah, yes,” Amras said, “something like singing. Hard to say amid all the weeping.” Caranthir grunted. “Sounds pathetic.”

Laughing All the Way (T, 3.2k). A Yule fic in which Maglor and Turgon get stuck with each other and have an unexpectedly good time. Also Finrod is wasted. Gen.

As if Turukáno would want to speak to him! They’d never exchanged more than four or five sentences. Small wonder – what could Macalaurë possibly have to talk about with someone whose favourite dessert was fruitcake? And it wasn’t even iced, he thought, feeling for the circular lump weighing down his left pocket.

✓ Seen (M, 1.8k). Daeron and Maglor read smut. About themselves.

“What’s unethical?” “Oh. Writing fanfic about living people.” “They don’t know we’re living. Or ever existed.” “Yeah, but we could be. We don’t die in canon.” “I think people should write what they want. Nobody is making you read it.” “You are literally making me read it.”

What Happens at Camp Eglarest, Stays at Camp Eglarest (T, 22.4k). Modern AU in which Daeron and Maglor go camping with Beren, Luthien, and Celegorm. Self-indulgent millennial satire and parody of canon.

“No, no, you’re not getting it.” Maglor slapped the steering wheel with his palm and flared his eyes wide at the road ahead. “The semiotics of harmonic categories do not allow for an epistemological analysis of tripartite theory–” “What the hell are you talking about?” Daeron shuffled in the passenger seat and tugged at his shoulder strap.

Keep the rec parade going @jouissants @meadowlarkx @imakemywings @warrioreowynofrohan @i-am-a-lonely-visitor @elennalore @welcomingdisaster @searchingforserendipity25, if you want!

Happy Friday, friends! I'm deep in my feelings about my favorite of my own fics, so I'm going to reblog this with my nonsense. BUT I also wanna invite other people to share this and chat about their own works. Like....have you written your ultimate version of your OTP? Have you written the story of your dreams? Have you written a story you're stupidly proud of because "wow I didn't think I was capable of that, but look I did it!" Did you accomplish a big goal? It can be anything! Fanfic, fanart...songs, embroidery, origami, rec lists, meta, whatever, idc! Just something you did for fandom you're super proud of!

I love allowing myself to shamelessly celebrate myself, and I especially love seeing other people do it too!

[writtenonreceipts]

Surprise self-rec time! Pick 3 of your favorite things you’ve written and share them here, then put this in the inbox (anonymously or not) of your fellow writers to spread the positivity and help celebrate already written fics

I was actually considering making an author's favs collection several times, but. honestly it'd be so much easier to make "author vaguely dislikes and considers deleting" one as that covers majority of them. Just like Alexander Hamilton, I'll never be satisfied. BUT. I do reread some of my fics, so imma do the five I reread most often because I wrote them to scratch a particular itch of mine, and they still work in that way. So here are My Five Fics I Do Not Hate:

Heavenly Pillar Down (bingjiu): a winner by about five miles! I reread it when Im sad and have yet to find it cringy. A win! don't let them throw me away (liujiu, the whole series) this one is also quite satisfying. I especially enjoy the last installment Three Wishes: the only thing I don't like about it is that im sorta repeating myself because I shamelessly copied the premise of Misalignment here. But I really enjoy jiuyuan interactions here.

I (26m) drank my best friend’s (28f) breast milk: again, jiuyuan! another one I reread this when im down The last one is hard. Probably Pareidolie, a fic I wrote in Czech for a fandom of one (myself). I like how I succeeded in conveying what I wanted with relatively few words (1k-ish), that doesnt happen very often. ghost light's not bad either I guess.

Thanks for the invitation, Lani!! My five current favs:

How to Catch a DILF (10k, COMPLETE): Albus Severus x Draco. The cat’s out of the bag—Albus has been in love with Mr. Malfoy for ages, and everyone seems to know about it except for the man himself. When the opportunity arises for him to make his fantasies a reality, will Albus have what it takes to seduce the DILF of his dreams? Written for the CMD fest 2023. Rating: E

One Small Eternity (10 k, OS):  Ron x Pansy- Pansy is back from a five-year stay in Paris. She hopes to renew her standing among the wizarding elite, only to find that Lucius Malfoy has a business proposition that could either spell success or disaster, maybe both.Through it all, Pansy finds love in the most unexpected place and with someone she can never have. Will the timing ever be right for them? Rating: E

A Merciful Alternative (4k, OS)- Draco x Lucius- Draco learns that there is no easy way out after his failure to kill Albus Dumbledore atop the Astronomy tower. The Dark Lord promises to humiliate the Malfoy family in every way possible before the night is through. Written for the HP Cest Fest 2023, mind the tags. Rating: E

Mastermind (10.7k, COMPLETE): Ron x Harry, Harry x Draco, Draco x Ron. Written for Dronarry fest 2023. This story features a dark, possessive stalker Draco who is determined to wheedle his way into the Golden Trio, first by dating Hermione, then by winning Harry and Ron over. Mind the tags! Rating: E

How to Care For Your Monster Book: A Guide by Rubeus Hagrid (8k, OS): Hagrid x Monster Book of Monsters- Hagrid finds many uses for his new course textbook... some of them may shock you. A crack canon compliant story detailing Hagrid’s first year of teaching and what really happened with that strange textbook he assigned. Rating: E

[bewarethesmirk]

In re-posting my old work from LJ and re-reading some of what I wrote a gazillion years, I wanted to self-rec a few fics I am particularly proud of (mind the warnings and pairings). I feel like I haven’t written to my potential in quite a while, and since I’m trying again, it’s interesting to see what worked before and how different I can be now.

riddles and rhymes (Snape/Draco, E, 22K)

Summary: Draco would have to be an idiot of Potteresque proportions not to understand what had just happened, and he was not that much of an idiot. Still, he didn't know to what extent Snape would have to take this. To what extent they would take this.

Warnings: underage, dub-con, spanking, blowjobs, exhibitioinism

*

To ignite (Harry/Draco, E, 8K)

Summary: Each moment was a slice of heaven, and it was simultaneously hell, because he knew at the end of the hour – or sometimes two hours – Malfoy would go home to Astoria, and Harry to Ginny.

Warnings: Infidelity, angst, hopeful ending

*

Tastes Like A Tear (Snape/Hermione, E, 9K)

Summary: An innocent pursuit of knowledge brings Hermione to a new resource, willingly or not.

Warnings: mindfuck, non-con, dead dove, underage

*

And if anyone reads Suits, my dear favorite is Calamity of Casual Touches (Harvey/Mike, E, 11K)

Summary: Harvey touches him more than is strictly necessary. Now Mike registers each and every ones of these touches, committing them to memory and cataloguing them away.

⋆₊˚⊹♡

“Who is this gorgeous blonde in the front here?” Sabrina asks as the camera pans directly to Drew, showing him on the big screen on the stage. To no surprise, the crowd erupts into screams— no doubt the loudest screams heard all night.

“Ohhh,” Sabrina drawls seductively, “hey!”

You watch intently as Drew waves at her and you can’t help but blush watching her twirl the pink, fuzzy handcuffs around her delicate finger. The group of girls seated by you two are squealing and giggling loudly. You’re buzzing with excitement and you’re not sure who you’re more jealous of: your boyfriend or Sabrina.

“Well, this is kind of awkward,” she continues, “I’m not really into kooks…”

You didn’t know it was possible, but the sea of screaming girls gets even louder.

“If only there was a beautiful girl from the cut here,” she jokes with a pout, leaving you in awe; you weren’t even aware she watched the show, let alone knew the lingo. That’s when the camera instantly pans to you and Drew takes a step back, pointing at you enthusiastically.

“No way,” Sabrina begins, “there is!”

“What’s your name?” she asks you.

“Me?” You question, feigning innocence, “y/n!”

“Oh my God, my clothes just fell off, y/n! I was thinking about us,” she giggles into the mic while the intro to “Juno” begins to play.

“Will you be my Juno girl, y/n?” she asks as she passes the handcuffs to be given toyou.

You nod your head with enthusiasm as the crowd cheers and the lights begin to dim. Drew is back behind you again, his full weight pressed against you and his breath hot on your skin.

“Whatever position she chooses at the end, we’re doing it.”

You didn’t even know he knew about that. Tonight was full of surprises.

“Drew—” you giggle as he playfully grabs at your waist.

“I’m serious,” he says as his hand moves down to smack and squeeze the swell of you ass.

Best night ever.

boyfriend!toji who is absolutely obsessed with you (all day everyday) but especially when you’ve come home after a long day and you do your nightly shed. he loves watching you huff and puff about how itchy your bangles have been and he waits patiently for you to come to him and whine about your necklaces being tangled so you need help. he leaves little kisses on the most ticklish parts of your neck as he goes. then sometimes while your washing your face he’ll stand in the doorway of the bathroom and just stare at you. soapy suds running down to your elbows and your bare feet tap tap tapping on the floor. he insists on carrying you back to the bedroom and gets comfy so he can watch you at your vanity ready to apply your skincare. it’s a regular occurrence that you struggle with taking out your lenses and toji is here to save the day yet again. gentle hands cradle your face as he tries his best to take your lenses out with minimal pain, and then he takes it upon himself to squeeze your eye drops in for you. extra kisses on your eyelids incase he did hurt you. his most favourite bit is when you’re applying your lip balm and you lean over to give him a quick kiss.

‘this flavour better than yesterdays?’

truthfully he can’t remember.

and then you grab your glasses, which have always been too big for you and require you to scrunch up your nose adorably to fix them, and toji is ready to pick you up again. a new episode with his favourite girl in his lap is his idea of a night spent well.

a/n : they’re watching severance btw :)
