it’s all “i love a woman that can change men” until it’s courtney from total drama

[type-a-princess]

My favourite total drama fics because the good writers in this fandom are dying faster than me in summer!

Printessa by ArtificialFlavorz or @sentimentalslut

It's very much a Duncney fic but with hints of Djwen in there which I love to see

I think there's quite a lot of Bridgette in there also, it's great

Luna by beckinheck or @hollowboobtheory

It's made for Printessa but it's more Djwen centered

Nothing much more to say but I swear you HAVE TO read it

The popularity game by beckinheck

This is the same writer from one fic prior hehe

It's a MASSIVE fic, like less than halfway through and 200k words

It's centered around Gwen and is a rewrite of season 1, but if you like Gwent I do not recommend this as Trent gets a lot of shit in this 😭😭

More Djwen and Duncney!!

I will add this is also my main travel fic

Death Cast by nocopops

This is an IOTS fic and as the author's name might suggest it contains mostly noco but also Duncney, Gwent, and early drama brothers sightings

It is so heartbreaking and I definitely recommend giving it a read if you're into IOTS!!

Hand in mine into your icy blues by BasementVampire

It's also an IOTS noco fic, unsurprisingly

It's just a one shot, nothing too intense, but it will rip you apart

Also mcr based title!!!

Smoke by Grey_Amethyst

It's one of the best trenoah fics I've ever read, which isn't many because they're a rare pair but it's still gotta be top 10 TDI fics

It's gay rare pair angst what more could you want

I promise you it's worth reading, even though trenoah doesn't seem like it would work

It's important to note that this is one of my only 15 bookmarks on ao3 💪

Can't think of any more and it's super late but will update as I see fit 🙏🙏🙏

heather and courtney are pilates princesses

Mind if i say that Percyfan94 should had overshadowed anything that had Percy in the title

who is that and what does this mean

Hear me out: Duncan's got more homemaker skills than Courtney.

Courtney's parents were always focused on her academic life and career. They got her private tutoring any time she slipped, had her in all advanced classes, and they made sure she never did an extracurricular she couldn't put on a resumé. But they never taught her any regular life skills.

It's not like she's clueless, though. A lot of stuff is common sense. She's too much of a neat freak to have a messy dorm or apartment, and she can do her own laundry, but she can't cook. She ruined her new frying pan the day she bought it trying to make eggs. She doesn't know what to do when her bookshelf collapses the first week of college, and resorts to stacking her books next to her desk. She burns a hole in one of her most professional looking blouses with the iron when she doesn't realise fabric can melt.

So when her favourite jumper begins to unravel, the pale purple one with tiny flowers on the cuffs, she very nearly cries about it. It's just a jumper, but Courtney is nothing if not particular. She knows there's no replacing it.

When she mentions it to Duncan, frustrated and not thinking much of it, he raises an eyebrow and asks why she doesn't fix it, like it's the most obvious thing in the world. The thought hadn't even crossed her mind.

"How would you even begin to fix it? There must be half a foot of wool coming off already, and the hole's in this super awkward place by the elbow."

"So you didn't try?"

Courtney goes a little red in the face at that.

She doesn't expect Duncan to come over the next day with a banged up biscuit tin and ask to take a look at the jumper himself. He inspects the damage, careful not to tug at any of the loose loops of knitting, and looks up at Courtney.

"This is the "huge hole", you mentioned?"

She might have exaggerated a little, but she's emotional about this, damn it. Duncan sighs, and grabs the biscuit tin. He cracks it open to reveal a sewing kit, packed full of loose fabric and needles and threads of every colour.

"This won't take long. Put the coffee pot on."

Courtney bites her tongue about manners and does as she's told, pouring them each a cup while she watches Duncan work.

It shouldn't surprise her that he has this stuff. Most of his clothes look D.I.Y'd somehow, with little tears and patches tacked on. But the scene before her is just so uncharacteristically domestic. He tries mending the hole normally at first, but the yarn keeps fraying when he tries, and he huffs before rummaging through the sewing kit.

When Courtney sets his cup down in front of him, Duncan is sewing what looks like a loose scrap of fabric over the hole.

"I had some blank patches left over and this thing is being a bitch, so it'll have to do."

After some time, he hands the jumper over for Courtney to see. There's an oblong white patch neatly stitched onto the left sleeve, covering the hole, and the elbow entirely. If she didn't know better (and if the other sleeve wasn't blank) Courtney would almost think that the jumper came that way- the evenness of the stitches is shocking.

Courtney blinks. "Where did you learn to do that?"

"My mom. I used to fuck up everything I wore within a week, and she always fixed it. She showed me how to do it myself when I was ten." Duncan takes a sip of his coffee. "You're welcome, by the way."

Courtney rubs the back of her neck sheepishly. "Right, thank you. Really."

"You really didn't think to do it yourself?" Courtney opens her mouth, and it's like Duncan can sense the indignant response before she gets a word out. "I'm not judging, I just figured little miss C.I.T would know how to do this stuff."

She huffs. "Not all of us were burning holes in our shirts before 8th grade."

"It was barbed wire, thank you very much. And it's still a good skill to have."

"My parents were just focused on teaching me other things, and it's not like I ever needed to know before now."

"Uh-huh." Duncan looks at her, thinking.

"I could always teach you anyway?"

"You'd teach me to sew?"

Duncan down at his cup. "Well, not just that, but yeah. I just don't wanna be the one to fix all your shit."

Courtney crosses her arms. "It was one hole in one jumper, Duncan."

"And the bookshelf?"

She flushes. "I just haven't got around to it!"

"Sure you haven't."

Courtney thinks, rubbing the soft wool of her jumper between her fingers. She gets a small hole in one jumper, and suddenly it's like she's hyperaware of how little she knows. Sure, not everyone can sew, but it's not just that. She doesn't want to admit to Duncan how many times she's eaten out this semester after burning her dinner, or how many times she's called Bridgette in a panic over her dishwasher making weird noises.

"...I guess it couldn't hurt. To get a second opinion."

Duncan smiles. "Whatever you say, Princess."

duncan would refuse to use a bidet to wash his ass because he thinks it's gay

[type-a-princess]

it hurts my head to think about how TDAS and what does the fox say came out in the same year bro

[type-a-princess]

fresh tv watch your back

[type-a-princess]

since duncans obvious as hell about checking courtney out i like to think that he's oblivious as fuck whenever courtney checks him out. like he'll just be fixing their laundry machine and she'll find that hot as fuck and hes completely oblivious lol

Unless she’s outright caught in the moment Duncan has no idea what’s going on lmao

[type-a-princess]

i HC that one of the little things duncan appreciates in life is how pretty the city looks during a sunset or at night so he knows all these different rooftop spots overlooking the whole city where he can have a smoke and he loves driving fast on the freeway with the city lights passing by so after meeting courtney he convinces her to sneak out and he takes her on all these adventures in the city that could definitely get them in trouble but it always involves them on a building rooftop admiring the view together and having vulnerable conversations that they wouldn't have with anybody else or making out in the backseat of a car after duncan successfully escapes a cop chase at 1 AM and courtney has never felt so free in her life and duncan just admires how happy and beautiful she looks (can you tell this is just the teenage love i've always wanted and i romanticize living in the city) also if you know any duncney fanfics that have a similar vibe to this PLEASE LMK 🙏🏽

This is so spot on for Duncney.

I can just see them sneaking out to rooftops as part of their routine now, so much so that even after they break up it’s still something they do (separately), and nobody knows why. It’s their own little escape from the world that only they understand.

[type-a-princess]

If anyone remembers Duncney fan art YouTube video to that Enrique Iglesias song, you’re a real one

there is so much fanfic potential with the fact that duncney got matching heart tattoos and that duncan would sleep with a picture of courtney under his pillow like he DEFINITELY never got the tattoo removed and still kept gorgeous pictures of courtney on his phone after every breakup idc

[type-a-princess]

people talk about how courtney would get along with duncan’s parents, but i genuinely believe she’d hate his dad because of how he treats him. i can see her calling him out if he says something mean to duncan in front of her, making thanksgiving uncomfortable af.

yes!!! courtney is totally passive aggressive whenever she sees duncan’s dad. duncan’s dad is a pos and even though duncan hates talking about it and opening up about it courtney knows bc she’s courtney and she hates duncan’s dad bc of it.

TDI Courtney: Gets unfairly eliminated with no sympathy from the other campers. Isn’t chosen to come back to the island to compete even though others were.

TDA Courtney: Watches Gwen spend more time with Duncan than Trent. Heard about Trent’s suspicions. Gwen won’t just say that she doesn’t like Duncan and still has feelings for Trent. Is judged for using her lawyers to get into the competition when she literally wasn’t able to fairly compete in the last competition. Is written as a monster for having Duncan sign a letter even though she has no reason to believe he is committed to a relationship with her. Gets voted off by one of the reasons she came back.

TDWT Courtney: Is now calmer and more accepting of Duncan. Suspicion switched over to Gwen, who continuously makes remarks about her crush on Duncan or how fans believe she’d make a better girlfriend for him. Just got back together with Duncan before he decides to leave. Finds peace with Gwen. Excited that she found Duncan again just to realize that he’s moved on even though they literally mutually decided they still wanted to date each other a few weeks ago. Finds out that she was always right about Gwen and Duncan. Is given almost zero sympathy for her situation. Has to deal with Duncan’s change in demeanor towards her.

TDAS Courtney: Finally moves on with her life. Shamed for not forgiving Gwen even though there were only friends for a few weeks and Gwen denies doing anything wrong. Decides to forgive her anyways and is almost immediately kicked back to the curb by Gwen for being a “hypocrite” even though her situation with Cameron is nothing similar to Gwen’s situation with Duncan. Still begs for Gwen’s forgiveness anyway.

Fandom: god she’s toxic
