any fic recs from this year?

ASOIAF fics

Anything by Becky_Blue_Eyes - my personal faves are:

Queen of the May - you guys are probably sick of me recomending this one but it was amazing so i’m reccing it again. Rhaenys lives AU mashup with Midsommar.

The Girl with Blood Moon Eyes - Rhaegar won AU where Rhaenys has some pretty dark magic powers and gets to go feral with them. We love to see it.

Untouched by Tears; Completely Undefeated - If you hate OP Jon Snow Harem fics where Jon is surrounded by sexy swooning women and dragons 24/7 this parody fic is for you.

Her stuff for The Tudors is just *chefs kiss* if you are in that fandom. She also writes for Star Wars!

Anything by Aegonbeingfakeisracist

Princess of Summerhall - explores Rhaenys and Rhaegar’s relationship, and Rhaenys’ feelings in a Rhaegar won AU

Change my state with kings - Rhaenys lives, but as a hostage of the new King Robert in the Red Keep. This one had me ugly crying at 3 am.

Nanso 

And So the Sun Saved a Wolf - a great Brandon/Elia AU series that made me take interest in the pairing!

Tell Me of Her - canon Aegon reflects upon his mother and who she was as a person. Stories where Aegon is a fully fleshed out human being instead of some evil prop for the story are sadly lacking in this fandom but this story lets us take a peek into his head.

Malevolent and without form by SecondStarOnTheLeft

I was a huge fan of the original one-shot and when I saw the author wrote a second part I screeched. A semi-Rhaegar won AU where Elia deals with the mess of what occured. Definitley THE story for people who want an Elia who comes out on top and isn’t a doormat that loves Rhaegar and Jon and Lyanna

My mother’s fury (makes mine seem nothing) - by queen_elenei

A modern AU one-shot about Arianne in a faith of the Seven school dealing with sexism. I would love to see more fics where the fetishization/hypersexualization that Arianne faces as a WoC is addressed. Also as someone who went to Catholic school I can confirm this is spot on.

Dawn's Chosen by wingsofthenight 

ASHARA DAYNE AS SWORD OF THE MORNING. I REPEAT A ONE-SHOT OF ASHARA DAYNE AS SWORD OF THE MORNING. Also Ashara/Elia for all 7 of us EliShara shippers out there.

Lesser Beasts by Sansakatara

The trident scene from Cersei’s perspective. I thought Cersei’s superiority complex really shined through in this and it was an interesting take on a scene that is pretty much notorious in this fandom.

A Song of Siblings by ariel2me

A really really excellent drabble collection focused on the relationship between siblings in Asoiaf. If you enjoy minor characters like me this collection really comes through!

Non-ASOIAF fics

Harry potter

Barbed Wire, Grass Crown by dwellingondreams

Ever wondered what a realistic Tom Riddle/OC story would look like? Look no further! In this series Tom isn’t turned into some secret villain with a heart of gold for 1 (one) person but he’s also not an evil caricature. A very interesting exploration of the Harry Potter world pre-series.

They also write ASOIAF fics! If you are interested in the Starks I would recommend giving their works a read!

Avatar: The Last Airbender

run, run, run, by bonn

a Modern AU Sokka/Zuko series- my friend Bonn wrote this and i was crying by the third sentence and im barely in the ATLA fandom. Angsty but ultimately hopeful and sweet. The mortifying ordeal of being known. Sokka playing volleyball and being cool and going to house parties. What more can you want?

If you go to my fic rec tag you can see more fics that I’ve reblogged.

There were plenty of amazing fics I read this year and if i listed them all i’d be racking my brains all night so these are the ones that i have read most recently/or really stood out to me.
