thedevilsgarden's mistynat fics

i know someone else has shared the wayback machine's link to thedevilsgarden's profile where a handful of mistynat fics were visible and only some could open, but i've done some hunting and have links to what i think are all the viewable/saved mistynat fics of theirs, so i thought i'd share direct links to all of them. most are wayback machine links but the last three don't work and could only be found in pdf format, so i uploaded those to a hosting site so they're readable online and there's no downloading necessary.

-

stranded series: canon divergent teen mistynat in the wilderness, where they get together early in season 1. there are 4 parts, but sadly, part 3 is impossible to access, as far as i've been able to try. it seems to be set during the last two episodes of s1 based on the summary and references to the events of it in part 4, but you can read part 4 without having read it since that's what i did.

part one: untethered

part two: preservation

part four: chosen

-

other fics:

nothing heals the same: nat breaks misty's nose by accidentally kicking a soccer ball into her face at practice and her good old catholic guilt has her unable to leave her side as she goes with her to the hospital and then home for the night.

sidelined: nat gets jealous when the yellowjackets biggest fan misty starts getting distracted during practice by new kid walter.

no strings attached: nat meets misty in college and they start up a friends with benefits arrangement, until nat finds herself catching feelings when walter enters the picture.

godless: canon divergent post s2 finale fic, where nat doesn't die, but she does temporarily lose her memory. she stays with misty as she struggles to adjust to everything, and misty struggles to adjust to this version of nat that isn't like hers.

at the end of my road: age gap fic, with canon adult misty and early 20s rockstar nat. it's the third part of a series, and i haven't had any luck finding links to try for the first two parts unfortunately, but in my opinion, it can be read on it's own well enough, even if you'll find yourself wishing you could read the first two parts.

-

if by any chance you have any other working links or saved fics of theirs, feel free to either reblog and add them to the post or you can message me and i can add them.

[metal-mania]

To the early Mistynat fandom that misses thedevilsgarden fics:

Here’s a link I made of the collection of fics I have from them. This google drive will give u at least five Mistynat fics and I know on Reddit if u search thedevilsgarden fics in one of the comments sections there is another drive but doesn’t have as much Mistynat fics as this one does. Enjoy! And we miss u devilsgarden if ur out there! Hope ur doing ok

[lesbiantahani]

I read this one Agegap Mistynat fic way back where the premise was basically AU where Nat wasn't a Yellowjacket and at the time of the present timeline was just a bit older than she'd have been in the crash timeline and was a very dysfunctional musician who met and then hooked up with Misty while trying get clean and meanwhile the events of the modern timeline were just happening without her. Anyway I think the author of that took it down along with all their other work, do you know any Agegap Mistynat fics? This ask brought to you by having eyes and thinking Christina Ricci is really hot.

omg that fic is so dear to me....at the end of the road my beloved....anyways here's a link to a rlly good post abt thedevilsgarden fics BUT alas I don't have any recs on age gap mistynat fics there's not many out there? so other than that im sowwyyy keep an eye out for when I post mine tho 😭🫡

edit: it's not linking on mobile for me for some reason so here u go:

[sadbi-hours]

I was hoping for a blackout, but at least I got a bingo! The list of fics and their square fills are below. I hope you like these fics as much as I did!

@ficreadingchallenge

Free Space: Obviously by lovelybattle

Fandom: Top Gun: Maverick

Pairing: Jake 'Hangman' Seresin/Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw

Summary: Jake groaned into the kiss, gripping at Rooster’s shoulders. Rooster pushed him against the door, hand roaming up and down his sides. He reached under Rooster’s shirt, running his fingers over the muscles that flexed under his touch.

Rooster groaned and moved his lips down to Jake’s neck, making Jake moan under his breath. “Um- I should probably-” Jake fell off into a moan as Rooster sucked a spot into his pulse point.

“Hang on I-” Jake tried again, “Rooster, I need-”

Rooster just hummed, running his tongue over the mark. “Bradley, I need to tell you something.”

Rare pair: with and without by thedevilsgarden

Fandom: Yellowjackets

Pairing: Misty Quigley/Natalie Scatorccio/Jackie Taylor

Summary: It's Jackie's brilliant idea to rent out the guest room, to add another person to this fucking mess. And even though Nat hates the idea, she isn't stupid enough to pick a fight over it. She and Jackie have been arguing enough as it is.

(or, Jackie and Nat are girlfriends on the verge of a break-up, until a cute blonde nurse moves in with them)

Small Fandom (<1000 fics): Fuck My Label. Fuck My Ex-Husband. And Fuck Deacon Claybourne by orphan_account

Fandom: Nashville

Pairing: Juliette Barnes/ Rayna Jaymes

Summary: It didn't relieve any of her annoyance that Juliette was being, well, normal.

Not the peroxide drama on legs that Rayna really wanted right now to take her mind off of things. Talking about her feelings – shit, having feelings.

Feelings that ranged from 'fuck my label' to 'fuck my exhusband' to 'fuck Deacon fucking Claybourne.' Three feelings that Rayna was familiar with inside and out. Rather acutely as of late.

Under the Influence: Late Night Wanders by Ember_andRain

Fandom: Harry Potter

Pairing: Harry Potter/ Pansy Parkinson

Summary: When Harry shows up drunk in the middle of the night, Pansy takes pity on him and decides to take him back to the Gryffindor common room; turning a boring evening into a rather eventful night.

Long Fic (>25,000 words): the blood in your mouth, I wish it was mine by inlovewithnight

Fandom: Ted Lasso

Pairing: Jamie Tartt/ Roy Kent/ Keeley Jones, Rupert Mannion/Jamie Tartt

TW: Dead Dove, please read tags

Summary: Rupert had blackmail material and offered Jamie a chance to buy it back--with his body, not with money.

Jamie would do anything to protect his people. He didn't know how far anything would go.

Superpowers/ No Powers AU: Accidental Perfidy by EvilPeaches

Fandom: Split (2016) & Glass (2019)

Pairing: Casey Cooke/Kevin Wendell Crumb, Casey Cooke/Dennis

Summary: Twenty-two year old Casey doesn't expect to meet someone she connects with at her Abuse Support Group. She never thought she would let anyone in, anyone beyond the protective wall she's meticulously built around her soul. Kevin is different though, different from other men. He understands her, understands her pain. For once, Casey thinks she can live freely again. Only, Kevin doesn't tell her everything. No. He left something out. Otherwise known as your boyfriend neglecting to mention he has DID.

Lyric Title- Listen to the song too!: for you, the sun will be shining by margctbishop

Fandom: Ted Lasso

Pairing: Ted Lasso/ Rebecca Welton

Summary: Most days, Ted Lasso thinks he's a pretty good dad.

Today is not one of those days. Today, Ted Lasso somehow managed to lose his son in a public park.

aka "we've only just met but my kid is obsessed with you and I don't know why, I'm so sorry, I really don't kn– oh wait... you're kinda cute" with a dash of soulmatism

Slow Burn: jolie laide by canardroublard

Fandom: The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Pairing: Illya Kuryakin/ Napoleon Solo/ Gaby Teller

Summary: It's a strange term, Napoleon thinks. Jolie laide. "Pretty-ugly". A self-contradiction, banal words elevated in American ears by the exoticism of French. He's never understood why it's applied to girls with strong jawlines and sharp features. "Vogue girls". He's always thought it much more fitting for those with frayed and damaged edges on the inside. For those with tangled snarls of history but hope for the future.

Maybe all three of them are jolie laide. In their own ways.

(Or, the fashion AU which was supposed to be short but sprouted wings and flew away from me, featuring photographer Illya, model Gaby, and Napoleon, who brings everyone together.)

Unfinished/ In-Progress: Lady Flowers by beepboop (permanganato)

Fandom: House of The Dragon (TV)

Pairing: Alicent Hightower/ Rhaenyra Targaryen

Summary: Otto Hightower brings his bastard daughter to King’s Landing in the hopes that she might become close to the new Heir to the realm.

Found Family: A Dweeb in a Leather Jacket and a Punk Band by beezyland

Fandom: Orange is The New Black

Pairing: Lorna Morello/Nicky Nichols

Summary: Despite what her band says, they don’t go to that tiny, grimy 24-hour diner after every gig because Nicky has a crush on the cute, clumsy diner girl. Nicky just likes the milkshakes. And maybe she kind of owes that cute, clumsy diner girl her life.

High School/ College AU: if you could see that i'm the one by blanchtt

Fandom: Barbie (2023)

Pairing: Margot Robbie's Barbie/Gloria

Summary: She gets her exam back from her professor and a proposition along with it – tutor a fellow student for a few extra points.

Barbara hardly has to think about it. She has free time since volleyball ended, and she’s aiming for veterinary school after graduation, which is nothing if not competitive. If there’s anything she can do to up her GPA over her classmates - as well as help a fellow student, of course - then why not.

Future AU: I'll settle for the ghosts of you by FunkyinFishnet

Fandom: Sense8

Pairing: Wolfgang Bogdanow/Kala Dandekar/Rajan Rasal

Summary: When Rajan witnesses Wolfgang and Kala embrace, Wolfgang lifting her up off her feet while smiling more broadly than Rajan has seen so fat in the few hours that he has known the man and with Kala’s happiness seeming to make her face sparkle, he thinks, “Oh, I *see*.”

Rajan thinks Kala really doesn't love him in the same way that he loves her, and there’s no way that Wolfgang can love him at all.

Gift Giving: but if we could kiss and just cut the rubbish by mirniy_miro

Fandom: The Witcher (TV)

Pairing: Geralt z Rivii | Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier | Dandelion/Yennefer z Vengerbergu | Yennefer of Vengerberg

Summary: Jaskier's love is in every word of his songs.

Yennefer and Geralt figure their own ways out.

Bodyswap: Eat Your Heart Out, Wolfgang Pauli By ishie

Fandom: The Big Bang Theory

Pairing: Sheldon Cooper/Penny

Summary: Of course, the answer is standing right in front of him. In the mirror. There's a bed and wall reflected behind him, a riot of color that clashes with tanned skin and rumpled pajamas and a cloud of blonde, blonde hair.

He's Penny.

Fanart: we are strange in our worlds [podfic] by aethel

Fandom: Doctor Who

Pairing: Eleventh Doctor/Amy Pond/Rory Williams, Eleventh Doctor/Rory Williams

Summary: "Your boyfriend doesn't like me," the Doctor said, then winced. It sounded even more pathetic out loud.

[sunnydaleherald]

The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Saturday, September 16th

BUFFY: Professor Walsh says that adrenaline is like exercise but without the exorbitant gym fees. GILES: (a beat) Very witty. BUFFY: You should meet her. She's absolutely the smartest person I've ever met. GILES: (feeling a bit slighted) Perhaps we should have invited Professor Walsh to the party? (takes a sip of punch) BUFFY: Oh, no. I mean, she's like forty. She's got better things to do than hang out with a bunch of kids.

Just added some new reading recommendations to Patreon (public viewing) to go with my class The Devil’s Garden @alchemy_and_ashes this Saturday! Getting ready for class this weekend and have some reading recommendations. There aren’t a lot of books out there that focus on the dark side of herbalism, or those plants that are less explored, unknown or feared. Through our willingness to tap into these unfamiliar forces we have the opportunity to learn and to grow tremendously. If you look in to any plant lore it won’t be long until you see a familiar name pop up. The Devil has left his mark across the plant kingdom, heartening back to when we lived in balance with nature. Check out these and other great book reviews and recommendations! #thedevilsgarden #plantsofthedevil #esotericherbalism #necromancy #chthonicsorcery #divination #goeticspirits #goetia #sorcery #witchcraft #occult #lefthandpath #darkartifacts #occultartifacts (at Alchemy & Ashes) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdL2hN_LFxE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rhaenyra x Alicent fic recommendation

This list is not final and will be updated. i read many good ones (and some of them you guys sent me!!) but this few are the ones i found on AO3 and not here and decided to share

ps many of this stories are 18+ , I haven't written which one id what but the authors did so check notes

Paltry is the passion that never makes us shudder by WhimperSoldier (finished - 1/1)

It was painful, but only at first, then it was peaceful, even when armored men and unfamiliar Targaryens poured forth to gawk at her. They all wore unfamiliar faces, and looked on with unknowing eyes. Had this been what Rhaenyra had felt in those last moments, as she stared into the maw of Sunfyre and was only watched by the twisted snears of those who hated her?

She let her head slip back and the sunset had the shimmer of Syrax's scales and with her final breath gave a soft dracrarys and imagined the dragon's mouth pouring forth fire to cleanse her clean. She was the Mad Queen of Megor's Holdfast, and she would not give them the satisfaction. Red, red, red staining the bark so that one couldn't distinguish the leaves from the roots.

Then with a painful jerk, as if she were ripped free from her skin, she woke with a shout.

_________________________________

A wedding of fire and blood - By hagtower on Ao3 (finished 7/7)

Before Alicent realized what she was doing, before she heard the shouts commanding her to stop, to put the knife down, she’d grabbed the very same dagger that had pierced her son in the face and gracefully marched toward Rhaenyra, every unshed tear that had threatened to fall finally cascading down her face like a raindrop on a glass window.

or; a story of old friend's reconciling and mending what once was due to ... a mere accident.

(A/N: The premise of this fic is essentially Rhaenyra not having been pierced by Valyrian steel yet (although we see it later in the episode when Rhaneyra traditionally marries Daemon) and someone points out that now, Rhaenyra and Alicent are technically engaged. They both agree (begrudgingly of course) and chaos will ensue in the coming chapters.)

_________________________________

You Broke Me by skullgamerscy (updating/unfinished)

“Hate.” She mutters looking up from her hands to Alicent. “I could never hate you Alicent. No matter how hard I try I could never hate you.”

“Then why-“

“You really don’t know.” Rhaenyra stops Alicent question. If they are going to have this talk then she is going to be the one in control. Alicent shakes her head. Clarity erupts within Rhaenyra. She had known. It was all in her head. Alicent wasn’t aware of her feelings. Alicent never felt the same way. It was just something Rhaenyra had built up on her head to make herself feel better. To assure herself that what she was feeling wasn’t wrong. “I loved you Alicent."

_________________________________

we are the storm by thedevilsgarden (finished 4/4)

Summary: After the death of Aemond Targaryen, Rhaenyra ascends the throne; she and Alicent rebuild.

_________________________________

you don't know what love is (if you don't put up a fight) by tansymeadows (updating/unfinished)

Rhaenyra and Alicent find solace. Or, The King lives long enough for the princess to return on dragonback and change what is to come.

_________________________________

Say yes by Kacchi (finished 1/1)

Queen Aemma Arryn survives and The Dance of the Dragon never happens. Two years after the queen offers the recently widowed Alicent Hightower a post in the Red Keep, Crown Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen asks for a favor.

_________________________________

This is What Love Feels Like by Kacchi (finished 1/1)

The Dance of the Dragons happens much earlier and House Velaryon ascends to the Iron Throne. Years after the war, Alicent comes to King's Landing to woo the crown prince but she ends up meeting a disgraced princess by the river instead.

***I read all of the rhaelicent works kacchi written so far and loved them all, this two just captured me the most. Here's the link to their AO3 page ***

_________________________________

Right Where You Left Me by enaraux (finished 1/1)

An attempt to rekindle any remaining friendship causes a shocking revelation that neither Rhaenyra nor Alicent expected.

❛ and it's been so long, but if you ever think you got it wrong, i'm right where you left me. ❜

_________________________________

The Princess's Plan by ChocolateCookieCream (unfinished/updating)

After the announcement that Alicent is to be married to her father, Rhaenyra decides to take matters into her own hands and calls Alicent to her chambers late at night. PWP. Very M-rated smut. Intersex. G!P Rhaenyra x Alicent.

A/N: THIS FIC CONTAINS EXPLICIT SMUT. RHAENYRA IN THIS FIC IS INTERSEX AND HAS A PENIS. THERE ARE SPOILERS POST-EPISODE 2 IF YOU STILL HAVE NOT SEEN THE SHOW YET. ALL CHARACTERS INVOLVED ARE OVER 18. PLEASE ENJOY!

_________________________________

Ascension by teamgreen10 (finished 6/6)

What would happen if Viserys had died at that table, in the middle of the family dinner? This fic is my version of an answer to that question.

_________________________________

The Heir by teamgreen10 (finished 5/5)

Alicent has always done what's expected of her. Without question, without argument. Her father always impressed upon her the necessity of perfection. Hard work, diligence, and attention to detail is what made this company successful, he says, and if Alicent intends to inherit it someday, she needs to prove herself worthy. Don't trust anyone, that's his most important rule, but above all, NEVER trust a Targaryen.

_________________________________

Never Shall We Die by teamgreen10 (finished 10/10)

Following the death of the Pirate King Viserys, the council commiserates to choose their next King. Rhaenyra Targaryen, captain of the ship called Syrax, sees her opportunity to claim her father's crown as her own. And she has a plan. One so bold, none have ever tried before. A plan that involves kidnapping Governor Hightower's daughter.

_________________________________

Love, Duty, and Everything Between by Autorand7291 (unfinished/updating)

An alternate retelling of the relationship between Alicent and Rhaenyra. The characters are reimagined as a little bit older at the beginning of the story. The story starts around the same time as episode 2 after Rhaenyra gets home from Dragonstone and speaks with her father. Rhaenyra runs into Alicent and cannot wait to tell her all about her run-in with Prince Daemon on Dragonstone. What would happen if a friendly nightcap caused some buried truths to come to life between lifelong friends? Would Alicent and Rhaenyra do things differently if they knew about each other's true feelings before it was too late?

Will have alternating POVs. The timeline, storyline, and ages will not adhere to the show/book canon.

dog person by spookyscaryskeletons (Buttons15) - (finished i think 8/8)

“You’re staring.”

“Just thinking, my princess.”

Rhaenyra turned sideways, moving into a position that changed her center of balance and was twice as risky. A few centimeters to the side, Alicent could all but see it - splat on the ground. “Penny for your thoughts?”

“My thoughts are worth far more than that.”

Once upon a time, Otto Hightower, the hand of the King, named Daemon Targaryen a 'Rogue Prince'. Some hated him, and some loved him. What the Hand hadn't expected was for Daemon's influence to leak onto his niece, Rhaenyra.

Kryptonite by dragondance23 (unfinished/updating) (smuth)

Alicent and Rhaenyra are high school sweet hearts now turned exes trying to be 'just friends.' It doesn't help that Rhaenyra is an newly presented alpha and Alicent is an omega. What could possibly go wrong? (The answer is that a lot could and WILL could wrong along the way)

_________________________________

the knight princess and the lady of fire by violetsblackgarden (unfinished/updating)

Rhaenyra wants to be loyal, brave and protect her family and her people. All Lords are the same; heartless. All ladies are the same; empty. Or so she thought, until she saw her and her heart was set on fire. or where Rhaenyra meets Alicent for three seconds and her blood roars as its recognizes her soul mate. Obviously, she thinks she's having a heart attack.

Figure You Out by fiefdom (unfinished-updating) - none binary Rhaenyra

Rhaenyra and Viserys haven't spoken since the death of their mother, but that doesn't mean they're about to let him marry some gold-digger half his age. They'll just have to show him that Alicent isn't as sweet, or as funny, or as charming as she seems.

The dragon fire series by Shadysider ( 5 part series)

A new outtake on Alicient and Rhaenyra's relationship following the knife incident.

* Its just generally really good. It's wholesome, heartwarming and painfully satisfying. There's also some steamy parts as well for those who are interested in it.

where fire and ice meet by wariangle (finished 4/4)

For almost a year, it had been thoughts of Alicent – of her scent, her smile, her care, and the secret, hidden sound she made when Rhaenyra made her come, and of forbidden fantasies of taking her to Dragonstone on Syrax’s back and marrying her in the custom of House Targaryen of old, binding themselves together with steel and blood – that had sustained her. The joy of knowing that she would return not to the childhood companion she had unwittingly lusted after for so long, but to the woman who had responded to her advances and, Rhaenyra had thought, returned her affection. She had been so very wrong.

Wandering souls, blooming in unison by Lumyart (finished)

Rhaenyra runs to a small village to escape her obligations, hoping to find peace and calm to inspire her inner artist. Alicent has a similar idea.

There, they find their home.

Alicent’s mouth is dry and her palms are sweaty and she’s wondering if it’s still gay panic if she’s very sure she’s gay and she’s queueing for the concert of a very gay band. Aka Alicent goes to a concert (and gets the girl)

every vote counts by beepboop (permanganato) (finished 3/3)

Rhaenyra Targaryen’s campaign should be a disaster. She has a weirdly close relationship with her uncle, had an affair with Harwin Strong while married to Laenor Velaryon, dates celebrities of all genders and swears on prime-time television. She goes viral on social media, comes from old money but leads a left-leaning campaign and says the truth in interviews.

This senate race should be a slam dunk. The easiest win of Alicent’s career.

Instead, she wakes up to learn Rhaenyra is beating her father’s candidate by fifteen points in the polls.

This country is fucked.

In the Dragon’s Eye by Poptop1698 (unfinished/updating)

The Dance of the Dragons is over. Alicent Hightower has been confined to the holdfast, both a queen and a traitor all at once. She has been left to ponder her mistakes and failures, and according to many whispers, she is slowly going mad. One day she receives an unexpected visitor who will force her to revisit her past and her feelings for her childhood friend.

**This one is easily one of the most painful and heartbreaking fics I've read, but oh man, a part of the writer incredible writing skills, they also captured the characters so well and i feel like if something like that will happen after the dance, it will be incredibly painful and necessary in a way. a sight into rhaenyra's mind and Alicent's haunting guilt and memories. I give this one 10/10 with this emoji ❤️‍🩹

blame it on fate By Lumyart (finished 10/10)

Hosting the country's most popular morning show together is bound to create tension in the most sweetly cruel of ways. Rhaenyra has spent the past year working by Alicent's side learning all about that - the hatred, the admiration, and the unrelenting conflicts. Alicent Hightower is running the show like a queen in her realm and for a reason that is only hers to know, she has decided to make every day of Rhaenyra's life a living nightmare. Nothing either of them has not fully incorporated into their routine by now.

However, it seems fate has a mind of its own and plans that do not always end in Alicent's control when they find themselves having to travel to Lapland for HTV's Christmas specials and spending a week basking in snow and coldhearted drama that heats up their relationship in more ways than one.

“It’s only the first year,” Rhaenyra used to say, broken down at the breakfast table by the window in their London flat with her head in her hands. “It’ll get better, after this. We just need to right our ship.”It was loving in the beginning. (a collection of snapshots before it falls apart // a schematic of reconstruction after)

A True Heir by Revans_Mask (finished 27/27)

When Rhaenyra Targaryen presents as an alpha, it sets in motion a chain of events that could change both her relationship with Alicent Hightower and the future of the Seven Kingdoms forever. (Or at least make a great deal of trouble for everyone involved)

Falling From Hightower by ohsnapitzalli (38/38)

Rhaenyra is the heir to multi-billion dollar corporation - Targaryen Industries. Alicent is the daughter of the Targaryen Industries COO. They become fast friends at a young age and learn to navigate life together from high school to college to adulthood.

pay you back by beepboop (finished 8/8)

Alicent thinks she’s met a struggling single mom out of a job. Rhaenyra thinks she’s met somebody to have some casual fun with while she worries about taking over her father’s company.

They’re both wrong, kind of.

Sleeping Dragon by WanderingFan (finished 10/10)

Three years ago, the wicked sorcerer Otto Hightower cursed Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen to fall into a death-like slumber. Since that fateful day, Lady Alicent Hightower has toiled day and night trying to break her father’s curse. It is said that only true love’s kiss can wake the queen. Unfortunately, Alicent doesn’t believe in such silly things. Or: A Sleeping Beauty AU starring Rhaenicent.

Not on the Last Day by Revans_Mask (finished 20/20)

But the very last. With the Seven Kingdoms on the brink of civil war, Alicent risks everything by reaching out to Rhaenyra one final time. After all the years of pain, is there still enough left of their old bond to save the realm and perhaps allow them a chance at happiness?

Of Wine and Royal Cocktail by LunaLuthor98 (finished 11/11)

Alicent was one of those omegas that saw herself with the standard two story house, picket fence, two kids and a dog kind of future. Whenever she dated someone or thought of dating them, she always had to make sure they were ambitious, hard working, dedicated, compromised with a good head on their shoulders. You know someone she could have a stable future with.

And you know what? She found them or at least she thought she did.

Fire in the Belly by Revans_Mask (finished 8/8)

Presenting as an alpha is the worst thing that could've happened to Alicent Hightower. Not only will it end her friendship with Rhaenyra, her father is going to send her far, far away in order to make sure she doesn't bring shame to the Hightower name. Unless, of course, she and Rhaenyra can find some way to to turn this to their advantage...

okay having read your yellowjackets fic i can safely say you have elite taste, but i'm curious: what are your favourite jackieshauna fic recs or otherwise fave fics in general (could be any fandom)

Ooo if you to on my bookmarks, I have some across fandom fics I’ve enjoyed (and I could probably name more if you give me a specific ship or fandom)

But as for jackieshauna, the big ones are popular for a reason (you oughta know, stay with the earth) and there’s also the iconic Jackie Time Loop one by Zoeyclarke. Kleksuhs fics too (I think their username on ao3 is commanderofracoons) has a great soulmate au and ‘Shauna doesn’t go to nationals’ au. Tabithatwo is doing one on Shauna catfishing Jackie that I’m excited to read. And there’s a new “the wanting series” I’ve been enjoying that has a juicy Jackie/Shauna dynamic in the background.

It’s not explicitly jackieshauna but thedevilsgarden has been writing killer mistynat fics. And woodenpicador is a multi-ship rare pair God, if you’re not reading Natural Habitats or any of their other work, you’re missing out!

These are all off the top of my head so I’m probably missing some

1. Share a song that makes you think of [fic title]

-sighs- there are A LOT of songs, but let's play a game if you can guess what song this comes from. How Rare and Beautiful It Is To Even Exist

6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?

At the moment, I am rereading a Lydia Deetz/Wednesday Addams work of art. And some of thedevilsgarden MistyNat fics 17. What’s something you’ve learned about while doing research for a fic? Did you know that the first wearable glasses appeared in Italy during the 13th century?

[book--wyrm]

Hii this might be a long shot but do you have any angsty Rhaenyra x Alicent fics you could maybe recommend like the Long Road Home?

Depends what you mean by angsty, and what appeals to you about The Long Road Home.

The closest fic I can think of, assuming you don't mind modern AUs, is the bend and break series by thedevilsgarden is about the aftermath of Alicent recovering with Rhaenyra after leaving an abusive household. (By the way I'd recommend basically anything that thedevilsgarden writes, honestly, they're one of the best in this ship)

There's also A Beast Beneath The Boards, which is the opposite of mine (Rhaenyra gets tortured and Alicent helps her recover), but as of right now it only has one chapter and hasn't updated in a month, so get invested at your own risk.
