#wcs fic rec

[ghostofcorsetspast]

Started watching White Collar and drew Jason as Neal because strangely that has become a favorite trope. I read a Jayroy fic that was dcxwc and honestly it ruined me. Someday I will do proper fanart for it.

also I discovered the smudge tool on procreate and promptly abused it

Hi! Not sure if this fic is already on here, but if not PLEASE check out Double-Edged Crown by cyberflamingo on Ao3! It is probably my favorite fic of all time!

Double-Edged Crown by cyberflamingo ( T | 107,683 | 16/16 )

The wealthiest families in Yorbia are given the opportunity of a lifetime when their daughters qualify to compete for the prince’s hand in marriage.

Only one contestant isn’t excited to participate. Killua, a mercenary forced to take his sister’s place, just wants to be eliminated so he can stop cross-dressing and return to work. But things take a turn for the worse when he finds himself succeeding despite his best efforts to fail—and as the competition continues, he begins to suspect the prince may have a couple of screws loose.

Because if Killua’s pass rate is any indication...the man has some very strange requirements for his future wife

This fic~ is immediately and without question one of my all-time favorites. Utterly hilarious & charming. Authentic friendships. I felt the stellar-story flutters and laughed way too actually-out-loud-ly. Thanks for the rec! ^^

[jeonghan x seungcheol]

Evergreen by wonwo_o  (1/1 | 10,757 | G)

When Jeonghan tells his work friends that he has a boyfriend, he isn’t expecting them to invite him to a cabin on the week of Christmas for a romantic holiday vacation. This wouldn’t be a problem if Seungcheol was actually his boyfriend.

Desperate for a pick-me-up after a truly shitty day, Felix asks Changbin for pictures of his biceps to feel a bit better. Does it say something about Changbin that he finds the thought of it kind of sweet?

Title: What Did My Lover Say? (It Always Had To Go This Way) by henrybelly Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/47683864/chapters/120194896 Word Count: 18,446 Completed?: no Part of a Series?: no Important Pairings: Blossomfall/Thornclaw, Hollytuft/Thornclaw, Blossomfall/Mousewhisker (implied), Blossomfall/Ivypool (implied) Important Tags: Dysfunctional Relationships, Motherhood, Grief/Mourning, Infidelity, Divorce Rating (if not on AO3, give it your best estimate): Teen And Up Audiences Why are you recommending this?: A fascinating look into Blossomfall's headspace after Stemleaf's death, the imbalance of her relationship with Thornclaw, and all the things that she chose to leave unsaid after the Dark Forest battle. Blossomfall isn't a character I'm particularly interested in, but this fic really made me feel for her. Deserves way more kudos than it currently has :>

Do you have any favorite Warriors fanworks or rewrites? :O I know there’s a lot more cropping up recently, so I’m curious!

My good friend @bonefall does easily the best rewrite content I've ever seen. His command of the sprawling source material, his eye for weaving interesting conflicts, his meticulous worldbuilding, his admirable levels of research, all of it comes together to make him top the gold standard of the fandom.

It's a testament to his skill how much he's pulled me in considering his work leans really heavily on elements that I usually do not like very much in WC content and in storytelling generally. The way in which he anthropomorphises the cats is waaaaaaay past the point I myself usually like. And his work is extremely theme-driven and centered in arguing a specific thesis which usually makes me want to scream at the author "GO WRITE AN ESSAY!!!!!"

Other than that, let me drop some recs of stuff

saccharine tithes of love and glory by mallowstep was a very formative influence when I was first getting into the fandom and I think you can very clearly see its influence in many of my AU concepts dealing with the rules surrounding meddies. I really like the ways in which is explores the solitude of the position and the ways in which the different characters nagivate it. I know it's a bit of an unpopular opinion in my circles these days, and it may just be the growing up Catholic religious trauma speaking, but I do really love the idea of the meddie position as a curse and I wish it was explored with the full gravity of what it entails.

you wear your heart on a ripped unraveled sleeve by space_pilot3000 is one of the most delicious pieces of character-centric writing this whole fandom has to offer. You really get to understand very deeply the bundle of issues that the whole of the Po3 apprentice generation of WindClan is. This series is what got me really turned me from being moslty apathetic towards Breezepelt into really cementing his place as one of my absolute favorite secondary characters.

(I would die for you in secret) by KatieK101 is a newer one that I only came to after having spent a good bit of time in fandom and also one that doesn't originate within my circle of friends and acquaintances. All fics in the series just exude character and really embody the characteristics I value most in my favorite fics, namely the snappiness and conciseness that still manage to say so much about the characters portrayed.

And finally Uncle Jayfeather Chronicles by Dragon_Writes is just the cutest goddamn fic series out there and it has forever made me mentally unwell about Hollytuft, Sorrelstripe, and Fernsong. I have barely made it past the half-way point of AVoS but I'm attached to them a lot. My emotional support nothing characters. I should write about them some day.

Lo's Fanfic Spree Of The Week

or, fics I read that I need to shove at other people's faces so they, too, read them

Criminal Minds / Percy Jackson

Lykaion by Deerlie_03

They were used to catching killers in the act, not listening to audiobooks and making strangely coloured cookies wearing gingham aprons but that hardly exonerated the kid. After all, there was a lot about him that just didn't sit right, that seemed far too close to the case to be a coincidence.

In which Percy Jackson really isn't a serial killer, he just has terrible luck.

(Complete, 4/4 chapters, fast paced casefic.)

MDSZ

True Mouthpiece by MadamMistress

Historically, Anonymous is a woman.

(Oneshot, absolute banger of a modern AU with more academic dishonesty than you can shake a stick at. Or maybe just enough. I don't know how high people's stick-shaking standards are at.)

White Collar

Contractual Obligations: A Love Story In Three Traffic Lights by shaenie

The way Neal says it, though, amused and dismissive, is almost insulting. Of course Peter would never do such a thing, Neal's tone implies. Absurd notion.

(Complete, 3/3 chapters, Explicit, OT3, this fic has made me deranged in the best way. I love me some people who are So Absolutely Weird about one another. Especially when they really don't look it at first.)

I Lie, I Cheat, I Steal (and I Just Don't Get Any Respect) by fiercelydreamed

"All right," Nate says, and smacks his hands together. "Let's go steal a con artist."

(Oneshot, Leverage crossover (evidently), OT3^2.)

D&D Movie: Honor Amongst Thieves

tenets of devotion by weatheredlaw

Ed leaned forward and put his head in his hands. “This is ridiculous. You know that, right?”

“Eh, I think you’ve done weirder things.”

“Weirder than marrying a paladin and infiltrating a cult together?”

Holga shrugged. “You’ve done a lot of weird things. Don’t make me list them all.”

or: xenk needs edgin's help to take down a cult. absolutely nothing can go wrong. right?

(Complete, 3/3 chapters, Explicit. Questfic, and delightful. Also, ow, my feelings.)

Mark of the Thay by BlankPersonality

Edgin didn't escape the Beckoning Death untouched. He survived, yes, but it left him with a familiar mark. The visions of Zia that had haunted him since that day complicated things too. And now Xenk is at his door…?

(Incomplete, ongoing, updates regularly. 7/? chapters as of now. Explicit. Questfic, absolutely amazing.)

No, I Don't Accept Your Stupid Rose by nosewise ( T | 55,840 | 25/25 )

It's season 15 of The One, and Gon Freecs might just be the worst bachelor they've ever had on the show, but it's not his fault, okay? Not when the cameraman looks like That.

Gon is about to make incredible reality TV, just not in the way he expected.

[yunho x mingi]

but if it's forever, it's even better by mondeblue (1/1 | 11,731 | T)

“I, uh, wanted to surprise Yunho," Mingi admits. Wooyoung, because he has some superhuman internal bullshit detector that goes off whenever someone’s hiding something from him, narrows his eyes. “All of a sudden? On a random weekday?” “Yes?” Mingi tries. Wooyoung’s eyes get squintier. “Well, I mean, preferably a random weekday… exactly three weeks from now?” San smacks around blindly for a phone. He ends up grabbing Mingi’s, unlocks it, and pulls up the Calendar app. “That’s Valentine’s Day.” “Haha,” Mingi says, snatching his phone out of San’s hand. “That’s… a coincidence?" (or: mingi prepares the world's most romantic valentine's day date for his best friend, with completely platonic intentions.)

title: meant to be author: neko1996 rating: mature pairing: choi san/kang yeosang summary:

San watches his stepbrother, Wooyoung be in the most perfect relationship ever with his childhood sweetheart and best friend, Yeosang. They are perfect for each other and are very clearly in love with each other. San thinks that they are the perfect couple, always happy, always together and never fought with each other. When they announce their engagement no one is surprised and their families are excited as it meant that their business would benefit from their union. It all felt like it was meant to be.

So why is San the one getting married to Yeosang?

“So... did you ever read Twilight?” “The vampire series for teenagers?” “Yeah.” God, he wants to die. Hoseok grins. “Yes, I’ve read it. Nice to know that you have too, actually. Not many grown men have.”

- OR, Yoongi takes a much needed break away from his writing and his city life. He didn't expect Hoseok in any kind of capacity, but he falls in love with him anyway.

For my first submission here, I’ve decided to shamelessly self-promote :)

Title: Cold Bloodlines

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/24611467/chapters/59455153

Word Count: 412,704

Completed?: No but close! It’s at 62/67 chapters.

Part of a Series?: Sorta. It’s all one fic (Cold Bloodlines is the fic/series title) but you will see that within the fic, it’s divided into a trilogy of three “books.”

Important Pairings: They’re basically all OCs but there are significant M/F, M/M, and F/F couples

Important Tags: Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character Death, Canon-typical Violence, Family Drama, Political Drama, Grief/Mourning

Rating: Teen

Why are you recommending this?: How many times have you thought “Warriors is getting bogged down by all these old characters and plot lines. I wish that they would ‘soft reboot’ the series by setting an arc in an explored time in Clan history?” Well, I wished that too, so I wrote it— 400K+ words of it (which just so happens to be right around the length of a full Warriors arc!) Out of all my fics, this is the one I’m most proud of writing, and I’ve put a lot of time, effort, and love into it.

Who is recommending this?: The fic’s exhausted author lol (SedatedDreams)

Extra Comments?: Since this is my “soft reboot” of the series, I took the opportunity to add things I’d love to see in the canon warriors books. These include: better disability and LGBTQIA+ representation, dialing back StarClan’s involvement so the living characters can drive the plot, making the Clans feel more unique and distinct from one another, as well as consistent plot progression and character continuity/development— while still having this fic feel like it belongs in the Warriors world that we all know and love.

The Last Voyage

Written by reina_randwulf. Word count: 116,820.

AO3 Link

Author's summary:

Izzy Hands thought his life was ending when Blackbeard banished him. With no ship and no captain to serve, he was ready to just drink his misery away. Then he met with Sam Bellamy who offered him a chance to sail with The Last Voyage as his first mate.

Mod notes/warnings (contains spoilers):

Overall it's a sweet, romantic fic with some moments of angst; Izzy gets kidnapped twice but Sam saves him both times, and they end up happy together. Ed and Stede appear as villains in the final chapters and things don't work out so well for them (there's a fair amount of violence towards them and it's implied but not explicitly stated that they're going to be executed).
