#tbtp fic recs

[nerdyvixen]

What are your top five tbtp fic recs?

Oh, gosh, this is hard, and also I don’t know if the hyperlinks work because I’m a luddite, I swear to Maude, BUT, in no particular order:

1. The WHEN PANDORA MET OCCAM series by remembertowrite. Absolutely gorgeous prose. Stunning. Just makes me have to sit back and catch my breath every time I read it.

2. 100 WAYS TO SAY I LOVE YOU by ZombieBabs. This is one of my rainy-day fics. I’ve read it like six times. It gives me warm fuzzies like you would not even believe.

3. Speaking of rainy-day fics...A HAZARD TO STEEL, CAST IRON AND COPPER IN ALL SORTS OF VARYING DEGREES by Aproclivity. This one will always have a soft spot in my heart because it’s fluffy and cute and I read it when I was at a really, really low spot, and it made me smile when I didn’t think I could anymore.

4. JE SOUHAITE by coffeesuperhero. Sweet, sexy, and also these interns, though. I have Feelings about this one.

5. AND THE MOUNTAINS SAID I COULD FIND YOU HERE by elevenhurricanes. Bigfoot (maybe), wilderness, danger, Richard Strand running his mouth a lot...I made a lot of happy goblin noises when I read this. Bonus: the song the title is from is really freakin’ good?

BONUS: STAY WITH ME by Arriva. Stunning, so well-crafted, and realistically sweet. This one, if you’ll pardon the pun, stayed with me long after I read it.

Really, though, this is such an amazingly talented fandom, and I love basically everything in this archive. To be a bit moody, I really got into this podcast and this fandom when I had just fucked off out here to the PNW? I didn’t have friends or any kind of context for this place, but these stories helped me find it. They kept me going, honestly, until things got well enough for me to stand on my own again.

So the moral of the story is I love this fandom a lot, y’all are great, and everyone should read everything because y’all are talented af and I’m very grateful for everyone.
