Reblog to ask that you please engage with works! please give these authors love, fandom engagement with writers is down and comments means more than you know.
Also, If you see positive posts or videos about their work, let them know. If you rec it, tag them or put in comments. I've heard that often writers might stumble across a tiktok that is loving on the work but they get few comments. Here is a good post about this in detail. đđđ
Wolfstar "Hidden gems" underrated fics
~~~please give these authors love, fandom engagement with writers is down and it means more than you know. ~~~
I saw a post about lesser known fics yesterday and decided to try to boost some of my faves. They are under 500 kudos and deserve so much more. (I know that kudos and hits don't mean much at the end of the day, but...)

Hello! A slightly different fic rec question if you donât mind
Who are your fave authors and what do you think are their most underrated fics?
I don't mind at all; I think it's a wonderful ask! ('Most underrated' is both somewhat subjective and relative, of course. Still:)
@stonedlennon: ode to the silver beetles (A conversation between Jim and Mimi. A glass of milk, Mr. McCartney?)
@scurator: Un Interludio (everyone loves Pringo in "Where the Sailors Go," but what about John/ Ringo in Spain, '66...? That's right.)
@pauls1967moustache: When you kiss my lips, I'll get a thrill to my fingertips (Paul/Ringo during the first US Tour; John is busy with Cyn and Paul is overthinking, until...) ⢠Still Mates (Paul/Peter Asher in '68) ⢠Aninut (The Beatles deal with Brian's death).
@dailyhowl: I'm With You (John/Stu, early days, with letters & hot sex!) ⢠Be It Fahrenheit or Centigrade (Paul/Stu) ⢠Crawling to the Car (Paris; 1966. John, Brian, Paul, Maggie McGivern, original male character with dark furry thighs)
@pie-of-flames: In the Night Garden (John/Paul; they trip in '67 and there is no angst, only...sympathetic trees)
@eveepe: Drop Like A Stone (Jane/Linda is what we need; go mount some Margrittes, Paul)
@midchelle: Tell me all my love's in vain (Pattie/Maureen, 1964-1974)
@savageandwise: Red Light, Green Lights, Strawberry Wine (Paul/Linda/Denny in New Orleans, with J/P in the background; Linda POV)
@aquarianshift: On the Avenue (George/Bob Dylan) ⢠How I Was Robert McNamara'd Into Submission (Paul/John/Cyn, sex pollen) ⢠There Once Was a Band From the Sixties (Limericks; with @ilovedig)
@javelinbk: Fair's fair (1964, a helping hand after escalating press conference thigh groping; I hope this is an accurate summary...this one is actually very warm and sweet!)
@bluewater9: Secret Passages (The Lennon McCartney children find naughty homemade movies at Cavendish)
@beatlessideblog: What You See Is Me (I Need You Darlin' extra; Jim's view on John and Paul's bond)
I hope there is something new for you here!

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Letâs spread the self-love! â¤ď¸
So, I could go on and on about the same fics but I think I am going to take this opportunity to talk about some that don't get as much love as some of the others.
By any other name
POV Remus, canon compliant. 1.6k Remus Lupin has been teaching at Hogwarts for a while. Things are starting to fall into place. Everything except for one thing. One name, to be precise.
Put on Bed Rest
Alternating POV James and Lily, canon compliant, sick fic. 5.1k
Hogwarts is covered in snow and James Potter is sick. Who better than Lily to nurse him back to health.
Look at you
POV Hannah Abbot, smut with feelings 1k Hannah isn't feeling great about herself, so her husband helps her feel better about herself.
Harry's Mum
POV Ron, crack fic, everyone lives, coming of age, 1k Ron spends the summer at the Potters and learns a thing or two about himself.
Runes and Rituals
POV Harry, post-canon, ritual magic 1.6k Harry and Ginny travel to Harry's childhood home in Godric's Hollow to perform a ritual.

Balance fic recs
some of my favorite balance fics. various ages, popularities, and lengths. iâve been wanting to do a rec list for a while!
caramel by nevereverever
The first time Taako is left alone, it isn't pretty. But their lives are stuck in a loop and people come back and die again and again and he wonders if there will ever be a time when he doesn't have to fear being left alone.
2.7k, Taako & Lup Lup dies one cycle and then, years later, she dies again. But she always comes back. Hurt/comfort of the best kind.
Warmth by noxic
"It was a well-known fact among the residents of the Starblaster that Lup, Barry, and Taako slept in the same bed more often than not. It was one of those things that they just did without really talking about it."
2.1k, Barry & Lup & Taako The BLT fic of all time. Quality platonic adult sleepovers.
Taako the Matchmaker by @fantasysamsclub
In which Taako tries to set up his sister. Events take place during Stolen Century.
11.1k, Blupjeans & Taako Taako tries to set up blupjeans. Miscommunication ensues. Very sweet and funny.
red fishing line by @anistarrose
A routine performance of Sizzle it Up goes nightmarishly wrong, and at Lupâs bedside, Taako feels helpless. And when a red-robed guest appears before him, Taako doesnât know how or what to feel at all.
3k, Barry & Lup & Taako Also the BLT fic of all time. Excellent subtle Taako characterization, and my favorite depiction of the familiarity-but-not of being voidfished. Warning for major character death.
Sunny-Side Up by @barry-j-blupjeans
And the world? The world loved Taako. For once in his gods-damned life, people loved him. They didnât care about all the flaws, they didnât care where he came from or who he was before. They loved his food and they loved him. No one would ever quite be at Taakoâs level and that was something he thrived on. There would never be anyone who could measure up. Taako deserved this happiness. He worked for it. He wasted his fucking life away for it.
5.7k, Taako A wonderful character study, revolving around the role food plays in Taako's life. Fairly minor but impactful characters like Sazed and Taako's aunt are utilized in a very meaningful way. So well-written and warm. Warning for brief suicidal ideation.
On the Deck of the Starblaster by @papergardener
âWhat the⌠what are you all doing? We have work to do!â Itâs a justified reaction, Lucretia thinks, to finding your entire crew literally lazing about on deck not an hour into this new cycle. âThis one's on me,â Taako says. âItâs a new trend I like to call: taking a fucking break.â Cycle Nintey-Five. Everyoneâs maybe not doing so good and could use a little warmth.
6.5k, Lucretia & Taako Near the end of the century, Lucretia is feeling rough. Taako pulls her out of her funk and initiates a much needed rest. Fantastic characterization, of Lucretia as a whole, and the loyal, warm side of Taako. Warning for mentions of a suicide attempt and suicidal ideation.
leaving, as an injustice by @anistarrose
When Mavis is eight, she starts finding her Dad asleep on the couch in the morning. Sometimes, heâs even all the way out on their tiny patio, with his head slumped onto a pillow atop the chess table, and bags beneath his eyes. In one of their following games, he tells her about tactical retreats.
4.7k, Mavis & Merle A study of Mavis and her relationship to Merle. Incredibly insightful into criminally underrated characters. Excellent Merle characterization.
Permission by vaguenotion
Sheâd been doing this on and off for the last hour, as if daring the men to catch up to them. Daring them to fight her. Every time seemed like a final stand. Here is where I will meet them, her shoulders said, hiked up around her ears. Here is where Iâll make them pay for what theyâve done. But then Taako would grab her hand, and she would turn and see the bruising on his throat, the blood drying on his brow, the tear in his shirt. And she would grip his hand in hers and together they would keep running.
12.6k, Taako & Lup My favorite depiction of the twins as children, both in character and realistic. Beautifully atmospheric, with so many small details that make the setting feel so real. Warning for assault and harm to children.
Come Hell or High Water by @nillial
âTaako,â Hurley asks, âwhereâs your magic umbrella?â Taako looks behind him. He had tossed the Umbrastaff in the path of a neighboring vehicle, which was beginning to catch up to them. He sees them now, far in the distance, and he sees his Umbrastaff, too, lying dangerously close to its wheels. As if on cue, he watches the tires crush it to pieces. âWhoops,â he says. - Lup is trapped. And then she isnât. --- In which Taako breaks his umbrella during the Petals to the Metal race, unknowingly freeing Lup, who is almost immediately captured by Kravitz. After becoming a member of the Raven Queen's retinue with Kravitz as her trainer, she has two missions: 1) find her family, and 2) ruin Kravitz's afterlife. A story about enemies becoming friends and lost families finding their way back to one another.
197k (currently), Lup & Kravitz Incredible characterization. I love the way Lup is written. Hilarious shenanigans, sweet friendship-building, and terribly sad sometimes, because it dives deep into the reality of Lup existing in a world that's forgotten her.
Very cold water on a very hot day by @keplercryptids
Sometimes a family is a nerd who can't swim and the crunchy-haired watersport inventor who teaches him how. Surfer lingo required.
3.1k, Barry & Taako Deep dive into the beach year. Excellently in character, well-written dialogue, and a beautiful depiction of their growing friendship.
Children of Atlas by @papergardener
Theyâve survived the apocalypse and now as far as they know, theyâre the only ones left. Perhaps it was inevitable that theyâd consider⌠repopulation. Lucretia writes up a weekly schedule to try and address that. Absolutely no one is happy with this.
76k (currently), IPRE crew The premise for this one is incredibly offputting, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. The characterization and quality of writing is absolutely wonderful. I also love the attention to detail of the realistic difficulty of just surviving. Fantastically atmospheric, this fic dives deep into the uncertainty and fear of the first cycle, when the crew are all strangers, and the love that turns them into a family. Warning for extensive discussion of sexual assault.
Emissary Davenport by DragonWrites
A series of stories where Captain Davenport is secretly an emissary of Garl Glittergold, Gnomish god of pranks. And when you're a serious-minded captain on a mission to save all of reality, having a cheerful trickster god as your unexpected patron can get a little strange...
300k, Davenport A series of four works set in an AU where Davenport is an emissary to the leader of the gnomish pantheon. My absolute favorite depiction of Davenport, ever. The first three works are explorations of Davenport as a character and the relationships between people and gods in a DnD world. The last, Lost Gods, is the best fanfiction I've ever read. I can't express how good it is. The attention to detail among myriad plot threads, the building of themes, the characterization across just about every single character in Balance, all come together to create 223k words of a genuine masterpiece.
#apparently theres some kind of comment thing going on and people were making fic rec lists so i wanted to throw my hat in the ring#bc a few of these are very underrated#yes theyre all gen. i don't care for shipping. sorry#mine#taz#taz balance#the adventure zone#taz: b#taz fanfic#taz balance fic#fic rec

Fate is when the stars align, but if they donât, youâll still be mine
Author adorkable_buddie
Rating general audiences

Submitted by anon
Summary
Itâs simple: Declare your soulmate and you are bound for life. It sounds like marriage - in a way it is, but doesnât require a ceremony. You may choose to marry your soulmate before or after Declaring, but it isnât necessary. You might ask: what if someone Declares you as their soulmate but you donât Declare them? Nothing. Both parties must mutually Declare for it to be binding. If not, the unreciprocated party is free to Declare with someone else.
What happens after you Declare? The rest of your life. Itâs as simple as that. You and your soulmate are bound for the rest of your lives. You will never fall in love again, nor will you be able to untether the binds. Even in death.
Having a soulmate is very serious business and it isnât something that should be rushed into.
This is why Eddie swore to himself that heâd never Declare.

stevetony recs you won't see on other rec lists
I've (surprisingly) been reading a lot of stevetony lately, and have come across a couple of gems that i feel are vastly under-appreciated, and wanted to show them some love. Obviously, the title is a misnomer because maybe you have seen these on other rec lists, but it's clickbait okay !! Don't forget to leave kudos and comments, if you like what you've read !!
No Trait As Much As This : @kandisheek-art
Tony gets hit with truth serum. It's a terrible time for everyone.
the year you were mine : @areiton
The night that changes his life forever, Steve is on a date with another man. Or: Steve is a pricy escort and Tony buys him for a year. Neither of them are doing this for love.
Meant : @ardett
What Steve meant when he asked out Tony was very different than what Tony meant when he said yes.
One Last Second Chance : @/Muccamukk
Tony Stark, second newest engineer at Rhodes Labs International, is just trying to rebuild from the ruins of his failed company, vanished fortune, and struggles with alcoholism. His goals include keeping his head down, avoiding stress and convincing Dr. Rhodes to let him build a really cool robot, so why does the universe keep throwing Avengers in his path?
Not just a river in Egypt (Tony is most certainly not in denial) : @lilgideon
"You are most definitely not in love with me, Cap, what you are experiencing is called cabin pressure," Tony explains, because he has a rational train of thought and he's met enough shrinks to have figured out their tactics by now. "And possibly, you know, sexual frustration, because it doesn't matter at all that you're, like, America's national icon, Fury still won't let you out. I know that, I see that, I acknowledge your pain, I feel with you, Cap, believe me, I do. And I get it, because I am a very good-looking fellow and we spend a lot of time together, stuck in this tower, and it's easy to--" "I am," Steve cuts off, equal parts amused and frustrated and concerned. "In love. With you. Tony, I'm in love with you."
then sirens, then bells (the broadcast remix) : @isozyme
âI tire of this,â Amora says, and with a casual gesture the entire team is pinned in place, frozen in mid-air. Steve has the unsettling, half-familiar feeling of someone rifling through his head like itâs a card catalogue. A mind-reader as well as a witch, then. A female voice whispers into his mindâs ear. Itâs very tragic in here, dearheart, but I think your armored friend is, somehow, more psychically toxic than even you. Whatâs wrong with Tony? Steve thinks, but the presence is gone, leaving his memories of war stirred up like flying insects rising off a lake in at dawn.
The Enchantress opens Tony's mind to anyone and everyone near him. Steve knows he should let Tony keep his secrets, but he's not noble enough to stay away
The Twice-Told Tale : @arysteia
For someone he'd hero-worshipped for so long, Steve Rogers in the flesh is a pretty big disappointment. For one thing, he keeps looking at Tony as though he reminds him of someone else, and even if he never says anything, Tony's pretty sure it's his father. A lifetime of not measuring up to Howard's expectations is more than enough, thank you very much, and he's certainly not going to make an effort to live up to any of Steve's. Steve's pretty clearly failed to live up to his expectations, in any case, and that's not hypocritical at all.
i'm going too far (just to have you near) : @/zaynerpaner
âRhodey, why did you leave me here?â Tony demands. The voice on the other line doesn't sound exactly like Rhodeyâs â in fact, it sounds like heâd woken somebody up, which couldnât be right since Rhodey had been here with him earlier. âWho is this?â the voice speaks again, and â itâs too deep. Rhodeyâs voice isnât that deep. âRhodey? Itâs Tony, mâphoneâs dead and I need you to pick me up,â he tries again, frowning as he leans against the bar. âUh, I think you have the wrong number.â OR the one where Tony drunk calls the wrong number looking for a ride home from the bar, and Steve comes to pick him up.
Living In The Future : @/Closer
Eighteen-year-old Tony Stark is the boy genius who woke Captain America, and now he's stuck with him. That's not a bad thing, but between Steve's wide-eyed wonder at the new world and Tony's little fanboy crush, the awkwardness just keeps happening.
if we ever meet again : @/anonymous
"Itâs been two months," Steve says, voice low. "Rhodey- Colonel. Itâs been two months.â

Hey, Zepskies! Howâre you doing? Hope youâre having a good day :)
I wanted to ask two things:
Is there a certain criteria that you have for an account to be a mutual? If so, what is it?
And secondly, who are some underrated writers on here that you think deserve more recognition? I wanted to go and hype up those blogs so theyâd have more of a following.
Hey there! I'm actually doing better after a long week and a half, dealing with an unexpected health issue. đ (I'm much better now.)
Interesting question...
I can't say I have specific criteria for following someone, like a checklist or something. If I find myself interacting with someone quite a bit, whether through their work or mine, and if our energies seem to match, then odds are I'll decide to follow them. If they happen to follow me back and we match like a friendly Hinge connection, then great! lol
Ooh as for underrated (and awesome) writers who I personally love, I can think of a few off the top of my head:
@dean-winchester-is-a-warrior
@waynes-multiverse
@deanbrainrotwritings
@waywardxwords
@soluswolf
@justagirlinafandomworld
All of these ladies are very talented and their work speaks for itself. Go check them out! đ
And many more awesome writers are featured on my various rec lists:
Supernatural Rec List
Dean Winchester AU Rec List
Beau Arlen Fic Rec List
Thanks for dropping into my inbox! đ

Fuck it, fic rec list time!
I'm bored and can't sleep so here's a non-exhaustive list of some of my favorite Star Wars fics. I'm leaving the really well known ones off, wanna share some of the more obscure gems.
Not Placid Stars But Singularities by iceplanet
He stands before Sidious, head bowed, helmet pinching at the back of his neck where he hasnât yet gotten the med droid to file down the sharp edges. Sharpness is another fact of life, now: the feel of metal digging into flesh defines his every motion. Given the time and the opportunity, he himself could probably have built prosthetics better than the ones he currently wears. âYour task, Lord Vader,â Sidious is saying, âis to transform this heap of antiquated softness into a palace worthy of our new Empire.â In the weeks after Mustafar, Vader must come to terms with his new body and the remnants of his past. In the process, he has a few conversations that he does not expect.
This one has everything I love: ghosts, mutilation, Vader being the saddest wettest murder meow meow, Sith Lord batshittery. What fun.
Skin Graft by HENST33TH
â I hurt you.â killed her, Vader's stomach roiled. Bile clawed at his throat as he looked at her. He wasn't making any sense. Her face softened some. â DreamsâŚ?â she said. Padme thought she understood. It was sick, it was corrosive. He was unfaithful. For twenty years he was unfaithful. He hurt her children. He needed to spit it out. Explain. She deserves it. She needs to know. Vader needed to crack himself open. Padme needed to tear him apart. For her safety. He got out of bed. Twitching with the need. Shaking with the pressure inside of him. Taught like a noose. He stood before her. She placed her hands on his arms. âThen what, Anakin.â Anakin, Anakin, Anakin. Vader sank to his knees. Resting his head against her middle, he breathed. The shame clung to him and coated his throat till he was choking on it. âItâs so much worse than that.â all at once the future loomed over him. Daunting, a beast of its own. How can he explain it? *** Or, Anakin Skywalker gets thrown back in time. He has to learn: 1 how to have a body again 2. To curb his Raging insecure attachment style. 3. That his wife should be the one making the important galactic decisions.
A newer fic that I am quickly becoming obsessed with. The way it's written is perfect. The characterization is perfect. Everything about it is perfect imo. And the ending of this latest chapter. Masterpiece. I want 10 more.
Nameless, On the Edge of Nowhere by Taxonamie
Following the presumed death of the evil Emperor and his hulking henchman Darth Vader, the fledging Alliance stands on the verge of victory! But as they press their advantage against a destabilized Empire and manifest from the seeds of Rebel resistance, can this new government survive their own instability? Among the scattered Imperial forces of the second Death Star, Darth Vader's disapparence is not so final as they would hope. Worse yet, the Rebel Hero Luke Skywalker has gone missing! Alone and disadvantaged, what will Anakin Skywalker do to find his son? Will he walk the razor's edge of tentative alliance with the Rebel Forces, or succumb to the draw of Imperial power? Free from all Masters, can Anakin Skywalker learn who he wants to be, at last? Princess Leia Organa must navigate this minefield of clashing obligations and dripping grudges, all the while attempting to understand a heritage she hates, a brother she loves, and a mysterious mother she cannot understand.
I think this fic is the most successful at bridging the gap between Prequel Anakin and OT Vader that I have ever read. They genuinely feel like a continuation of the same character here rather than a disjointed Before and After.
trust displays by AshToSilver
Rex meets Luke and Leia for the very first time the night they are born.
I love how sweet but also horrifically fucked up this one is. Cannot express how much this fic has influences the way I write the clones.
in morsum ardeo by astarsdarkheart
A fallen Jedi and Lord of the Sith burns in a pyre on the banks of a river of fire. Something else rises from the ashes.
This series rewired my brain. Like, holy shit. Holy shit. I don't think I could ever actually choose a top favorite fic of all time, but honestly? This one makes a strong case for itself. It has haunted me every day since I first read it over a year ago.
Forever War by yujacheong
Vader has trouble distinguishing between the past and the present. Fortunately, it rarely matters in the context of the Empire's forever war.
Love me a good Vader character study.
this place loves what it eats by roadtripexpert
What could be called but isnât death, or Leia Organa doesn't kill the man formerly known as Anakin Skywalker
I know I've already recommended this one but it is just. So fucking good. The note from my bookmark: Father-daughter roadtrip results in about as much murder and bitching as you would expect.
relieved to live in the wreckage by niniblack
When Obi-wan doesnât follow PadmĂŠ to Mustafar, sheâs able to convince Anakin to run away from everything with her. But this doesn't prevent his nightmares from coming true, and he's left alone in a hostile galaxy with the infants she begged him to protect. âMaster Anakin,â Threepio says, still hovering in the doorway. âMight I suggest bouncing the children?â Anakin stops pacing around with the twins, head swiveling to look at Threepio. He doesnât have to ask what the fuck Threepio is talking about; Artoo does it for him. Threepio seems to draw himself up as straight as he can. âI have conducted extensive research on the subject of human childrearing in anticipation of Mistress PadmĂŠ giving birth. Holding an infant and gently bouncing them in the parentâs arms is thought to be an excellent calming method.â âOh,â Anakin says. âI thought you meant⌠bouncing them on the floor or something.â
The note from my bookmark: Single dad Anakin. Congratulations buddy, no one's ever done it worse.

âAre you a conscripted soldier or a battle slave?â General Skywalker asks him one day. Rex thinks about it. And then thinks about it a little longer. And then he has to admit, âIâm not sure what the difference is.â The general looks distant and⌠sad? âYeah, me neither,â he says.
This is another one that has greatly influenced the way I write the clones.
Gonna end the list here cuz my meds are starting to kick in and I feel like I'm going to fall over

What are the most underrated Donna x Doctor fics in your opinion?
Hello kind Anon
I suppose the simple answer to this is: all the older Doctor x Donna fics.
By this I mean all the ones that got wrote in the early days of the fandom and just managed to fade away....
Works by authors like: MissDoctorDonna, goodbye2pisces, time_converges, Katherine_b, Gemmiel, Sykira, shining_moment, and so many more

The Shadow That Follows You Through Life
This is one of my all time favourite fics and it just updated again, woo!! The concept, the execution - the poignancy, oh my heart I adore it so. Please go read it and give @wingwyrm some love. Summary:
Margaret and Philip Buckley did everything they could to save Daniel, no matter what it would cost them or how off the wall it could be. Healing crystals, chemo, savior IVF baby, blasphemous priests. They lost him anyway.
But Daniel finds a new home after death, a way to stick around with his family.
Evan's shadow is too big for him.

Summary:
âYou think we should have sex?â Eddie clarified â still in that slow, deliberate tone, like any sudden movement would cause the ceiling to cave in around them.
Buck rolled his eyes. âI meanâŚnot for real.â
âOkay. So you think we should have fake sex."
âYeah, like reading Our Bodies, Ourselves isnât the same as watching porn, right? Itâd be educational sex.â
âWell if itâs educational sex...â
Or: Buck learns that Eddie's never had a prostate orgasm. Clipboard sex ensues.
