Fic recommendations!

A little different kind of fic rec post, these are my favourite fics that sit on ao3 unfinished and have not been update in a long time. So now you can suffer with me.

Hat Trick by fairwinds09 

Scott unwinds with beer, hockey, and chirping at the refs. It's Patrick's job to keep him from doing anything else.

(A look at the possibilities inherent in the iconic moment that spawned an internet's worth of proud Canadian memes.)

A true classic taking place in Pyeongchang, with real life moments, all told through Chiddy’s POV

BALANCE! by Golden_Ticket

Once she is left completely to her own devices she takes the book back into her hands, runs her fingers over the waxy cover and looks at her face on there. She’s photographed from the waist up, holding both her palms to the sky like a Justice statue with a high ponytail, on each palm a set of figurines that have been well photoshopped in later (getting that right had taken quite a few reworks by the graphic design department of her publisher). On her left, the figurines are a little family on a mountain of furniture and pots, bowls and baby-bottles while on the right, it’s books and clothes, calculators, pens and shoes. Above it says “BALANCE” and in the sub-line: “A totally subjective guide to figuring out life”. Underneath that is her ‘new’ name Tessa Virtue-Moir. She had debated going just by Virtue for her authordom but somehow that hadn’t felt right.

Pretty much any unfinished fic by Golden_Ticket can fit on this list, as she’s one of my favourite writers in the fandom. The above fic I particularly love because it’s so real. Also feat cute VM kids! I’ve read the first 3 chapters more than I’m willing to admit.

Love Blossoms: Conversations from the Womb by watchmechooseyou

Dad-to-be bonds with his baby.

The cutest idea for a fic. Fluff, fluff and more fluff! I’m such a sucker for Dad!Scott

The Thin Ice by OnlySkyAboveMe

‘Dr Grey looked up from her clipboard when she heard a young, frantic voice asking for help. She thought her years of experience in medicine would have stopped her from ever being surprised by the sorts of things that came in through those ER doors.’

OR

The TS/Grey’s Anatomy crossover that I doubt anyone asked for.

A Grey’s/VM crossover? Ambitious AF, and everything I’ve ever needed

Raise Hell by Mector

Something did happen during the last Stars on Ice show in Vancouver but not exactly what the fans hoped for... the world ended instead.

or

The zombie AU nobody asked for and you didn't know you wanted.

Honestly, every fandom needs a zombie AU, and it’s heartbreaking that this one remains unfinished. This is another one I find myself reading again and again

On a night just like us (A Spare Keys Epilogue- Plus) by Evaleigh77

A multi-part epilogue (and then some) to Spare Keys.

Everyone has read Spare Keys, right? If not, stop what you’re doing right now and go read it! In the epilogue we get a glimpse into the life of VM post-Spare Keys, and while it’s not always sunshine and happiness, it’s beautiful, but I’ll always want more of this universe.

No matter what, we’re in this together, part 2 by @tutu_22 (aka @moonriver2220

The continuing saga...Life after marriage. The road is rocky and it's not a straight path, as they had hoped. As they deserved. This can be read on its own, but you may wish to start with Part 1 of the series.

The cutest little VM family (with their dog, too!). I almost consider these guys the OG VM fic family. @moonriver2220 contributes so much great fic to the fandom, but this little family of hers will always be my fave!

the definition of devotion by virtuemoirlike (katya_kool)

You don't really know what you would do for someone until you have to.

This one is probably not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you’re like me and love action/mystery I’m sure you’ll love this one. Especially if you need another reason to make Marina a bad guy. 2 chapters up of this, but we were robbed of seeing badass, hero Scott. 

with a can full of gas and a handful of matches by limned

For the first couple of months, it isn’t a problem. Scott’s so exhausted from getting back into competition shape that he usually falls directly into bed after supper and doesn’t think about sex at all.

The ultimate blue balls of fics. This one is so good, and just so crazy it might actually be believable. Unfortunately it cuts off right before the climax (pun intended)

BONUS

The very first VM fic I ever subscribed to, back in summer 2016

The Story of Us

A short story centering around the lives of canadian ice dancers (and married couple) Tessa Virtue, Scott Moir, Kaitlyn Weaver, and Andrew Poje.

VM kiddos! Weapo kiddos! Chiddy kiddos! It’s everything the way we wish it could be. With a small enough cliff hanger to keep us wondering.

PSA: I know fic writing isn’t easy, and authors can lose motivation or interest or simply not have time. If your fic is on here, I don’t mean to call you out, but just know, if you ever comeback to them, you’ll be welcomed with open arms, and excited reviews!
