#top 50 fics

[musictooth]

For the Fic Recs (Ask Meme): 🔁👀💯👽(in case you have any, I'm curious) and 😭 A little too many, but I'd like to see your taste in VP fics xoxo

I know I like to declare my taste in books/films/music being garbage but when it comes to fics I have excellent taste:

🔁 A fic you’ve re-read several times

I rarely re-read fics although I'm avid bookmarker. Buut if I'd had to choose a fic I would never get tired of reading over and over again that would be Home is Where Your Teeth Sink, Love by timetoboldlygo. The portrayal of Vegas' abusive behavior and Pete's devil-may-care attitude inflicts great interactions between the two. There's a bunch of scenes I've savored deep in my heart which is why I'd mention this being also the fic I wish I could read again for the first time. I also remember liking the pacing very much.

👀 A fic that you love a normal amount

I love love love fics where Pete and Vegas are being weird in their little bubble. Honorable mentions to Pete gnawing Vegas' hand without explanation in Bite the Hand by ghosthouses and VP being all sappy about killing each other in Sweet Death by L_C_Weary.

💯 A fic that makes you think #writergoals

Two! I have two! First is Baby We're Nothing But Violence by Mawa. Intense is the only word I can think of with this one. I appreciate the effort to depict the ugly side of Vegas' and Pete's relationship which is anything but healthy.

The other one is Wholeness by 99_9. What I idolize the most is the feel of easiness as if writing this was a walk in the park. Quite amazing, really.

👽 A fic that isn’t prose (poetry, text fic, etc.)

None pop to my head - any recommendations?

😭 A fic that ripped your heart out (but it hurt so good)

Fault Lines by littlelamblittlelamb. Macau being torn to million pieces when he's trying to adjust to his new life between Vegas and Pete. Vulnerable Macau is guaranteed hit to my heart.

TOP 10 CHERIK FICS GO!

Also Xaverine would do too! >:'D

Well I'm finally caught up with these fic rec asks (just one more to go after this one woo hoo!) and this is going to be a LONNNNNGGGG post. I tried very, VERY hard to come up with a top 10 list of my favorite Cherik fics and it was utterly impossible; even top 20 was hard as hell but that's what you're getting here Anon lol. (I've also included a top 10 Xavierine list for you too!)

I have read every single one of the stories on this list a dozen times or more - I can't thank the authors enough for the absolute joy they've given me with their amazing hard work :D :D :D (And not just these particular authors but all of you who've written wonderful stories I've loved!)

-----

Top 10 20 Cherik Fics

(Not listed in any particular order.)

1. Timeline by Unforgotten (series)

After Magneto of an X2-ish future succeeds in the unthinkable, Charles sends his consciousness back to 1962 to guide Erik away from the path that will lead to the genocide of the human race forty years hence.

Charles knows that Erik has always loved him, and intends to use this knowledge + sex to seduce Erik away from his ideals in his youth.

There's no way this well-thought-out, sensible, debugged and 100% bulletproof plan can possibly go wrong.

2. Your Heart Just Couldn't Wait by Pookaseraph

Charles and his BFF Tony Stark have the life - they're co-valedictorians at the most prestigious high school in the city, they have their own condo in Manhattan, and they get to go to all the awesome parties. Charles just wished he understood relationships and sex as well as Tony does. His theoretical bisexuality starts to feel a lot less theoretical when he and Tony end up in Professor Lehnsherr's Physics III course at Columbia University, but Charles' decision to take their relationship further leaves both student and professor with more than they bargained for.

Features an enthusiastically-consenting!16-year-old!Charles

3. Erik Lehnsherr's Guide to Parenting by keire_ke (series)

Alex disapproves of school car washes, despite the abundance of wet bikinis on pretty girls. Erik doesn’t approve of his son shirking money-making duties.

4. When We Two Parted by nekosmuse

At the end of X3, a still depowered Erik travels back in time to meet 1962 Charles. Cue angst, desperate kissing and happy endings for all. Written for the x-men kink meme.

5. Age Difference AU by grim_lupine (series)

Raven is six years older than Charles; Charles has never really considered this age difference vitally important in one way or another, except to decide that even if Raven were six years younger than Charles, she would probably boss him around in the exact same way. He doesn’t really think much of the difference between fifteen and twenty-one, until Raven comes home from college for a study weekend with her new best friend in tow, introduces him cheerfully as Erik Lehnsherr, and Charles finds himself falling head-over-heels into a train wreck of doomed lust.

6. never too late to be who you might have been by acetamide

Erik wakes suddenly and takes a deep breath, and realises that there is nothing.

7. Curve Fitting by kianspo

The weird thing is, Charles always introduces Raven as his sister, but he never calls Erik his brother. Erik would be bothered, except he prefers not to think of Charles as his brother, either. He can’t figure it out for four years, and then suddenly he can.

8. Space Oddity by maimo, MonstrousRegiment, Pangea, Yaegaki (series)

Prince Charles Xavier is Deputy Commander of the TEF Heartsteel and the newest mission they've been assigned starts out less than desirable and quickly goes downhill from there. It's alright, though, he'll cope.

It doesn't help, though, that he's in unrequited love with his best friend and Commander of the Heartsteel, War-Prince Erik Lehnsherr.

9. Humane Society by smilebackwards (series)

Once Erik finally allows himself to decide that Charles is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread, he spends the next week being incredibly bitter that he's Charles' cat and not his boyfriend.

10. and these, from atoms by kay_cricketed (unfinished)

Five years after the Cuban Missile Crisis, Charles and Erik find themselves in a situation where they must rely on each other for survival. Trapped in a coal mine deep beneath the earth's surface, and having lost his wheelchair to a disaster, Charles fights the nature of his physical limitations while Erik struggles to remain distant. Ironically, in the dark, it is impossible to hide your heart.

11. Confetti In My Mouth by paperclipbitch

AU. “I’ve slept with all your models except for the one I’m related to,” Charles responds carelessly. “And so have you, before you make that face at me.”

12. Math Reasons by pearl_o, pocky_slash (series)

"Mom says Erik always knows what he wants, it just sometimes takes him a little while to actually realize it," Ruth said.

Charles fell in love with Erik the first night they met, the first week of freshman year. Two years of friendship, adventures, arguments, hijinks, secrets, and summer visits later, Erik is starting to catch up.

13. One Summer's End by furius, motleystitches (furius)

Erik Lehnsherr, successful businessman, has been the muse to the artist Charles Xavier for the last twenty years. They'll readily confess to loving each other through art, but at the last show Charles Xavier is holding in New York before he heads over to England, everyone else around them realises that it's not enough.

A tale of friends, lovers, and busybodies.

14. Other Life Challenges by professor (series)

“Why am I here again?” Erik groans.

“I need you to lift things and glower at people over my shoulder when I tell people that it’s not ‘politically correct’ or a ‘war on Christmas’ to have a non-denominational winter holiday festival,” says Theresa Pryde.

Well, at least those are two things he’s good at.

15. Quiet Like a Fire by kianspo

Charles has been in love with his best friend for years without realizing it. When he finally figures it out, Erik is married to a wonderful woman and has an adorable daughter, who thinks the world of Charles. Erik has the perfect life that Charles helped him build, so there is only one thing for it - get over his feelings. So what if his methods are unhealthy or if Erik has an opinion on the matter? Charles is determined to do the right thing.

16. All We Are We Are by kianspo

Charles's boyfriend breaks up with him days before the holidays. Not willing to ruin anyone else's festive mood, Charles hides this fact from his sister and his friends, and retreats into the family mansion, letting the world move on without him. He's flirting with depression when a one-time ex and a long-term friend surprises him. Long-kept secrets are revealed, and it turns out, Charles hasn't been paying attention to the right things.

17. soul of my soul by ikeracity

You can imprint on your soulmate anywhere — school, work, on the street, in a restaurant, on the subway.

Charles and Erik imprint on each other just in time for the holidays.

18. One big family by ximeria

There is a house in New York (no, only Charles calls it a house, and his perception of such is a little warped, so let's try that again)...

... There's a building in New York, owned by XavierMedCorp that caters to mutant tenants, their families and a handful of humans. You need to know someone who knows someone who knows someone to get an apartment there. Or maybe just be very lucky. Or have a mutant son who has the tenacity of a pit bull. Anyway, Edie Lehnsherr has moved in and she is slowly getting to know the other tenants, the superintendent and the owner.

19. Wednesday by Red

Getting confined to a nursing facility for a six-week course of iv antibiotics would have been dreadfully dull, had Charles not found a way to "occupy his time."

In which Erik Lehnsherr, retired nazi hunter, becomes the latest victim of Charles Xavier's charms.

20. A Nice Boy (The Family Matters Edition) by pocky_slash for pearl_o

Erik's not sure whether the problem is that he doesn't want his parents to meet Charles or that he doesn't want Charles to meet his parents. Either way, he never invites Charles to brunch. Why should he? It's not like they're dating.

Top 10 Xavierine Fics

1. South of the Border by sneakertime

Post-Divorce AU. Charles Xavier saves Logan from Emma Frost in Mexico. They have a lot of sex, and things get progressively more complicated.

2. Alone, With You by lachatblanche

Logan encounters a stranger while out in the cold and somehow ends up taking him home with him.

3. Secrets And Meetings by dictionarywrites

Logan comes to visit, and Charles gives into temptation as he too often does these days.

4. Insomnia by Rellanka

Charles had never made that confession to anyone before. People already regarded his telepathy with distaste and suspicion; if he was lucky, they were willing to trust him to use it only when necessary. He had never let anyone else know how invasive their own mind was.

Or: Charles's telepathy is more difficult to deal with than you think. He just wants to sleep.

5. Keep On Walking by Nevcolleil

"I want this while I can still have it," Charles says, sounding clear-headed enough.

Something in his voice stops Logan's breath. Logan swallows. "You can't have-" 

"I am capable of having sex without the serum," Charles tells him and doesn't look away. "But I'm not talking about my paralysis."

6. Life, As It Happens by kianspo

When Charles first meets Logan he's scared of him. He's not proud of that. But Logan needs help with Laura, and there is no shorter way to Charles's heart.

7. The B Team by lachatblanche

In which Charles and Logan are SHIELD agents who are present at the Battle of New York.

8. Brick by Brick by Ponderosa (ponderosa121)

At his family's yearly retreat in the mountains, Charles takes an interest in the new groundskeeper.

9. How All Hell Breaks Loose by Mixk

Logan and Charles' relationship status is revealed one morning over a wardrobe mishap, during their sixth year. Erik is furious, Logan is ecstatic, and Charles is exasperated.

10. Love Won't Save You by TurtleTotem

Guarding Charles has been Logan's purpose for over half his life. Now, with the twins to protect, an Empire to fight, and the love of Charles's life turned to the Dark Side, they have only each other to lean on. Can Logan ever be enough?

top 5 memorable ronance fic scenes?

okay i really really love this bc there are so many scenes that live rent free in my head, i'm so excited. these are in no particular order btw half of them just popped into my head at once

5) from entirely on purpose and according to plan by @dufrau this lil moment:

"It, uh," Robin tried. "It sounds like you've given this some thought." "I give everything a lot of thought," Nancy said. "The timing is right. You said it yourself, it's a summer for harebrained schemes. How about this one: fall in love with me." "That's, um," Robin started. For once she, was way ahead of Nancy. Done and dusted. She had tears in her eyes but Nancy wasn't looking at her. "I'm open to that. That sounds like a good plan. That's... I want that."

idk man i teared up and i had to put my phone down when i first read this. it's just the perfect dialogue to me, it sums up both their characters and everything that happened to get them to this moment (and everything that's going to happen now that they're here) in one cute, tidy little moment. wtf

4) the ending of chapter 4 in like a damaged nerve, like a dark bird by @monstrous-femme

“So you can only change small things?” How horrible, Nancy thinks, to live in a world where nothing of substance can be fixed. Where the same terrible things are doomed to repeat themselves, over and over without end. This, of course, leads to a round of bickering from the boys that leaves no room for other thoughts. “Small things can matter,” she hears Will say, before being drowned out by the others.

in a fic with such a haunting atmosphere this just stuck out as the most haunting thing not because it's eerie or inspires dread or whatever, but because it's such a quiet, crucial moment of hope. 10/10 chapter close

3) the coming out scene in girl that's a friend by ratgirl110 on AO3, which tbh is basically the whole fic. it's so poignant and messy and i love that you can feel the magnetism between nancy and robin as much as you can feel all the trauma and the fear of the future that hangs like a knife over their heads (this is true of both fics in the series, i love them so much)

2) it's too long for an excerpt but the scene in chapter 8 of monster of the week by @freezeveganpolice where nancy and robin and max get drunk and share trauma (oh, not-sober depression bonding should've been on my favorite tropes list)

1) the kiss scene! from Robin Buckley's Expert Field Guide to Catching Fireflies (and Other Childhood Favourites) by @smileweakandwrong !

i'm not gonna put the specific paragraph i'm thinking of because if you haven't read it you should, the payoff is incredible. but it felt so so magical, like a freaking fairy tale the way everything ties together in the end

[snowiwyvern]

on the topic of pride month, it makes me so sad that much of fandom isnt really focused on platonic relationships? like tbh im probably contributing to that, but ive started to realize that whenever i draw ships ive never really drawn them being too lovey dovey?? i think ive been accidentally qpr-ing a lot of the ships i draw lmao. and ive run into the same problem with writing too, so *qprs all your ships*

no dog teeth monday today im afraid bc well. i forgot about the passing of time to be quite honest with you

[queerofthedagger]

every day the tolkien brainrot gets only worse and this is both entirely unsurprising considering who i am as a person and also leaving my face in a permanent rendition of the shocked pikachu with some disgruntlement mixed in and I just . am so so so so scared of the way this is continuing to take over my life. the last time this happened on this scale i ended up with 90 and counting fics on ao3 with no sign of stopping. i cannot have two of these kinds of brainrots and cling to whatever shreds of my sanity i have left someone please just put me down already

[blondiest]

lmao just saw something that disoriented me so bad. how many kudos do y'all Personally think of as "a lot" (for whatever ship you read or write for the most)? obviously kudos & engagement aren't everything, the real yaoi is the friends we made along the way, etc, but i'm just curious how this varies from person to person / fandom to fandom / ship to ship

[compacflt]

wip wednesday: hoping to have all the fic revisions up by saturday (long shot tbh) or wednesday!

[fluffypotatey]

author's note: you will get hurt

me, someone fair of heart: psh! yeah, okay, whatever you say

me, post-reading said chapter of fic that was guaranteed to be painful:

[𝐏𝐗 𝐅𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐜 𝟒𝟑] 相夫教子 𝐛𝐲 东陵帝青

✧ 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞: Husband and Son

✧ 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: Zhang Qiling/Wu Xie

✧ 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐞: PingXie

✧ 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: M/R (slight dark fic with implicit 🚗)

✧ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬: Complete + Extra

✧ 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞: Chinese

✧ 𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡: Prologue + 33 Chapters + Epilogue + 2 Extras

✧ 𝐓𝐚𝐠𝐬: AU Setting—Modern Setting, Drama, Older Ping × Younger Xie, Pseudo-Father Ping × Son Xie, Clear Water, HE

✧ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐜: Third Person POV, PTSD, Angst With a Happy Ending

✧ 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: Father-Son Relationship (although they are not related by blood, Wu Xie calls Zhang Qiling "dad/daddy"), Self-Harm, mention of prostitution and an OC is s*xually abused (not Wu Xie)

✧ 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐜:

Wu Xie was an orphan who lived with his grandfather. His parents and his second uncle had died in an expedition. His third uncle had gone missing in Xisha's expedition without any news. Now, Wu Lao Gou is about to die, he entrusts six-year-old Wu Xie to his disciple, Zhang Qiling.

✧ 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧:

This fic is a bit gloomy, despite the title (I thought it's fluff T_T). Wu Xie is so smart and he is very obedient to Zhang Qiling. And Zhang Qiling dotes on him, he turns from a doting father to a doting husband XD. The emotional bond between these two is really touching and melancholy. Wu Xie's personality in Sha Hai appears early, he looks like a smart kid that can't be controlled by anyone, but he's actually very dependent on Zhang Qiling. Everyone knows that their relationship can no longer be called as an ordinary father and son. Fortunately, their feelings are mutual and they indeed understand each other even in silence. It doesn't matter whether it's a familial love or not, this kind of relationship is really rare. It should be cherished ♡ Overall, it's a good fic, really good ✨

✧ 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝: Sorry, I try to find it, but no link at the moment orz

[puntointerrogativo]

Yeah, no real surprises here
