#unspoiled by forthright

[dontdecipherthis]

I ACTUALLY downloaded Unspoiled by Forthright, and added some illustration to the PDF made by Lila-me on DeviantArt. Her art is soft and organic and beautiful. Everyone should check them out (both, the fic and the fanart)

I don't know if Forthright is on AO3, though, but here's the FF.net link

AND YOU CAN TOTALLY SEND ME AN ASK if you want the pdf. :') I just love it.

Question

If you could only download ONE sesskag fanfiction off of Ao3 to keep forever (one you didn't write), what one would you download?

The whole Manacled thing had me thinking of updating my downloads.

i’m shy sorry for the anon

i like your art it’s very similar to mine. do you have any fan fiction recommendations for me??i’ve been getting into the breath of the wild fan fic’s recently but idk where to look i feel like you might know of some??? i also want to explore different fandoms so anything you’re reading right now? thank you, mwah x

Oh boy fanfic recommendations! 

You've asked and you shall receive!

I haven’t read a lot for botw but I can recommend these:

The Curious Minds by AllTheGoodUserNamesAreTaken The story is amazing and I’m pretty much obsessed with it. It’s a BL (Link / OC), slow burn. It’s still in progress but Holly (all hail Holly!) updates it pretty regularly.

Another BL (this one is finished) and also Link/OC is Something Greater by busket. It has quite a bit of humor and is much more lighthearted than The Curious Minds. The OC is also pretty interesting.

If you are a Link/Mipha fan then there is A Fish out of Water by JamesYorke. It’s an old story, still unfinished but it’s very good.

If you want some other fics from different fandoms then below is The List. Divided into fandoms so you can decide what you want. (some of them are from fanfiction.net ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Surprise surprise, most of it is BL xD

-- Naruto --

Doing the Work by MarbleGlove [ The mc is an adult female and not a ninja. Amazingly interesting for something that follows a housekeeper life]

The Medic-Nin's Guide to Casual Revolution by spideywhiteys [BL,  male medic OC, haven’t read all of it but the gay panic at the beginning is funny]

Making Lemonade by Meeceisme [male OC is not a part of team 7, no parings for now, wip, very much not welcomed daddy Kakashi]

-- For Trash of the Count's Family --

[very good story btw, got a manhwa adaptation last year]

After-Thought by Mango_to_sleep [if you know this fandom and want to feel pain this is a story for you, no pairings]

Silver Lining by RUNA_HADES [female OC, wip, humor, the romance is slowly starting]

-- I Was a Teenage Exocolonist --

If you know this game I can recommend this little story. It’s cute af.

Like a Fairy Tale by MaetheEllen 

-- SK8 the Infinity --

If you know this anime and like Langa and Reki then this fluff is just the fluffiest. It’s my comfort fic.

go and grab your sweater (the one that you like) by tiedbows [BL but nothing graphic, completed, seriously fluffy vibes]

-- Star Trek  --

Atlas by distractedKat [BL, Spock/Kirk, completed] It's an amazing story, that will have you yell at the end ‘Ah that’s why he does it!’. I think it keeps both Spock and Kirk very much in a character and I highly recommend it

--  Miraculous Ladybug --

Obsession by Kryalla Orchid [completed, 3 parts + an extra!, everyone’s favourite fake love-square and an interesting take on the main villain] 

-- Inuyasha --

All of these are Kagome / Sesshōmaru

Frivolous Sentimentalities by Tally Mark [humor, one-shot, a bit of Inuyasha bashing]

Beside You in Time by RosieB (oh so much not humor, slooow burn, dark and with a lot of incorporated history]

Unspoiled by forthright [cute humor, cute romance, also baby Sheshomaru]

-- Harry Potter --

The Chronic Hero Perspective by niklitera [BL] I’m in the middle of reading the first part and it.is.AH-mazing. The main character is an OC and a new professor in Harry’s third year. It touches a lot about growing as a person and about mental problems and it’s rather dark but very worth it

-- The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System --

Metagaming by esama [tagged as BL but nothing happened in the first two parts yet, humor, part 2 is already written and it’s just as good]

Qiong Ding's Littlest Shidi by Araceil [BL, between OC and Binghe. It’s tagged as Harry Potter crossover but I’ve seen nothing connecting it to HP and consider the mc as an OC instead of Harry’s reincarnation. It’s abandoned but the author posted a summary of the rest of the story at the end. I love it for the wonderful portrayal of YQQ and SQQ and the way it shows them actually explaining their past and making up. Also, it’s a FOUND FAMILY and I dig this shit]

If you know the Scum Villain then you also probably know Modao Zushi. Then I present you with:

-- Modao Zushi --

And Time Is But a Paper Moon by sami [BL, time travel, a lot of very diverse characters and load of family interaction, also very funny take on redoing the Water Abyss arc]

I’ve said that I have a lot of BLs , haven’t I? xD

Hope you will find something that you like here ^^

And send me your favourite fics - no matter the fandom. If you want to of course ;)

Anyway, thank you or the ask!

If you ever feel like sharing you art I’d love to see it ^^ No pressure though. Glad you like mine.

IY Multi-shipping Appreciation Post

Hello Inuyasha fandom!! Coming in hot with my first tumblr post.

What are the fics that got you into your Inuyasha pairings? The ones that made you think, "oooOH? This pairing? I didn't consider this pairing before but now I'm Looking Respectfully."

Here's a rough draft, many from my own bookmarks:

InuKag: The Lucky Ones by Terri Botta is one that I see recommended a lot. I re-read this often. My personal favorite is Rebound by Kristine Batey. I read this years ago and still think about it weekly.

InuKik: ?

InuKagKik: Kokoro no Kakera by gribedli and kirrtash. This is my holy grail pairing, I am always searching for fics and praying to the fic gods to find more.

KagKik: ?

KagSan: ?

Kagome/Jinenji: A Little Kindness Goes A Long Way by Mayuna

InuSan: Mine Enemy by Ayrith. I'll add Closer by Opus the Penguin (abandoned) and Revelations by Priestess Skye.

InuMir: ?

InuSess: Poison by Hella. My personal favorites are Spiel Mit Mir by botticelliangel (abandoned), Suppression by lyiint (mind the trigger warnings), and Grave Robbers by WildEmpires.

InuSessKag: Menage Au Inu by Sunset Miko and A Sweet Eventuality by colorofakiss. A highly underrated trio, I need more fic for this pairing!

KogKag: ?

InuKogKag: ?

SessSan: The Youkai and the Exterminator by Wheezambu

MirKag: ?

Toga/SessMom: ?

... I ran out of steam! IY fandom, I would love to hear from you! Please send in those fics!

And a parting note: I've been sitting on making this post for a while because I didn't want to ruffle any OTP feathers or upset anyone with controversial pairings. I hope people can take this post in the spirit in which it was intended - as a way to celebrate multiple IY ships and our immensely talented fandom.

Unspoiled - Mark it

by ~Kuroshinji

“Then, the boy tugged clumsily at the collar of her kimono, and Kagome’s eyes flew wide. She clutched at the silk, anxious to preserve modesty, but Sesshoumaru patted her hand and spoke softly in her ear. "Higurashi, hold still. This must be done, and you must bear it.” And because it was him, she trusted.“ - Unspoiled by Forthright

Picture inspired by chapter 77

Breath of the Wild: Captured Memories - Chapter 6

First and foremost; SPOILER WARNINGS. If you have not played The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, or completed the Captured Memories Quest and want to stay unspoilered for it, DO NOT READ. Keep Reading link provided for that reason. So I am writing these as I play through BotW for the first time - which means they probably won’t be ‘one-a-day’ consistent - I have finally gotten all of the memories, but not yet gone for the final fight at Hyrule Castle. #Soon. I will post them as I can though! Promise! I also plan to include links to the cutscene for you to watch at the bottom, if so desired - at least for the ones I can find. Any other warnings that become necessary, I will add for content as I go. For now, enjoy!

Hot hot hot! lol

I really like Daruk in all the cinematics. Optimistic, forthright, stalwart, devoted to his land and kingdom, and ever in support of the Hero - he's a solid dude, no pun intended. While EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THIS GAME is hard to write, this one was less hard just because Daruk is such a cool character. I predict Urbosa will be similar. I. Love. Her. #UrbosaIsBestChampion #SaltyBirdRivaliTakeNotes

One thing I try to do with the cinematics from the games, is not add too much if any dialog for Link - since of course in game he doesn't speak. If I continue with a scene after the cinematic ends in the game, that's one thing. When we get to the Silent Princess memory with the frog, trust me, there will be more. But there are times where at least when writing, its a little awkward that Link says literally nothing - so, while I don't want to add TOO much, so that you basically can watch the cinematic (links provided at the ends of chapters) and then read this for "a little bit more", I did add a line or two in a few chapters now, and I foresee this trend continuing. Nothing extreme, but I felt it needed acknowledgement.

Speaking of Rivali the Salty Bird... his chapter will be next. I swear to Hylia, I wanted to strangle that stupid parakeet. He's a badass... but so, so obnoxious. So, here we go! I'll try and have Salty Bird up as soon as I can, and thank you for staying tuned!

Chapter 6 - Daruk’s Mettle Hot. Hot hot hot. Volcanos were hot. Sure, his Flameproof armor bought in town, and his elixirs helped. But it was still hooooot. Things were looking more familiar nowadays. He didn’t remember faces or names, but things were feeling… familiar. Like he knew he’d been to Goron City before in more than just his memory of Zelda saying they would be heading there. He’d had a feeling he knew where the shop was, and had been right. 

He felt as though it had already been a lifetime since he’d awakened in the Shrine of Resurrection feeling lost, drifting outside of time, detached, frustrated and alone.

But then, he’d never truly been alone.

Zelda’s voice had awakened him. Zelda’s voice spoke to him, to warn him of the Blood Moon each time it rose, or when he needed to know something very important. Her voice called his name in his dreams, and he had begun dreaming of her - from before. Snippets here and there. A white dress, a spring, her tears. Things that when he woke slipped through his fingers if her tried to grasp too hard, but it was enough to fuel him forward. Landmarks were familiar now - perhaps not why, but sometimes, it came to him.

Like looking at the carving of Daruk in the side of Death Mountain, he’d known it, and the memory had come rushing back.

***

They had been standing atop Vah Rudania, traversing the side of Death Mountain in the great, hot wind of the mostly quiet volcano.

“Yeah! I think I’m finally getting the hang of controlling this Divine Beast!” Daruk exclaimed proudly. It wasn’t a boast of vanity, but rather an honest statement of pride and hope from a Goron of integrity. Link knew that, he could feel it. He remembered Daruk, and that he liked him a great deal.

“I’ll tell you what… it sure is a blast piloting a toy like this around!” Link smirked incredulously at his friend and shook his head. A lumbering, enormous piece of ancient technology that they barely understood… and Daruk called it a toy. That was the Goron Champion in a nutshell.

“Let those other champions know,” the rock eater continued, “They’ll have to eat their gravel if they want to keep up with Daruk!” The Goron looked around them, drawing Link’s eye and smile to the scenery. “Speaking of which, can you believe this view?” Just look at all those delectable rocks sprinkled on those mountains… Mighty tasty.”

Link chuckled and cut his eyes to Daruk, knowing the Goron sometimes forgot other races didn’t eat rocks. He would have to take the Champion’s word for it. “It really is a great view, my friend.”

Sharing a few moments of companionable silence, Daruk was the next to speak. “I may not know a whole lot about the Calamity Ganon thing… but mark my words: I will protect this land of ours to the death.” Fist clenched with the vigor of his oath, Daruk grinned and raised his other hand saying, “Right, little guy?”

It happened too fast for Link to dodge or mitigate, and when Daruk slapped him on the back in friendship, it knocked the wind right out of the Hylian Knight. Link gasped and leaned forward, eyes bulging a little as he reached up to what would no doubt be a great bruise on his back by evening.

“Hey, by the way…. Congrats on becoming the princess’s appointed knight. That’s a really big deal! Protecting the King's daughter,” Daruk chuckled, “No pressure.” Still trying to catch his breath and recover from the Goron’s platonic affection, Link winced and nodded but looked to the sky.

“Seriously, though. The Princess is a strong personality - so strong she can’t quite see the range for the peaks,” the Goron Champion added with a scratch of his head. “Remember that, and you’ll be fine.”

No sooner had Daruk finished than a great rumbling started around them. “Huh?” Daruk said and turned his eyes to the mountain. Link thought at first in might have been Vah Rudania beneath them. But when the ancient, mechanical salamander had stopped and seemed to be as it ever was, he too looked to Death Mountain.

Daruk was frowning now. “What the-?”

As they watched, boulders came flying from over the peak of which they stood in the shadow. One, flew directly at them, like a meteor plummeting to the earth. With a great cry, Daruk spread his large arms, balled his hands into fists, and smashed his knuckles together. Just as the boulder would have struck him and also Link, a great angular barrier of red-orange light - like the fires of Death Mountain itself - appeared around them, deflecting the wayward and deadly debris.

“Alright, so what was I saying?” For a moment, Daruk seemed nervously dismissive until he saw the serious and concerned look on Link’s face. That had not been normal, and if Link understood that, Daruk had to know as well.

Turning back to the mountain, Daruk’s voice was a touch softer as he said, “That was a little strange…” They both observed their surroundings and the volcano about for a collection of heartbeats. When it seemed no other boulders were to become airborne, Daruk looked down to Link. “As far as I know, Death Mountain has been quiet for decades. But if the mountain is shivering enough to send down boulders that size, then--”

The Goron paused, and Link turned to raise an eyebrow at him. Daruk just kept his eyes on the volcano. “Nevermind. Forget I said anything.”

With a look of incredulity, Link crossed his arms. “Then what, Daruk? Do we need to leave the mountain, is there fiery death coming for us all and I need to get the princess out of here yesterday… what?”

Daruk was silent as the stones for a long, breathless moment as his blue eyes beheld his beloved mountain. “I don’t know, little buddy, I don’t know. And that, is what worries me.” The sense of foreboding Link felt at those words should have told him then, things were going to go wrong…

***

As the memory faded, Link scrubbed both hands over his face. Daruk; strong, honest, proud, brave Daruk. His friend. They couldn’t have known, not really. It was not as though a few wayward boulders screamed, “Run from the hills! Ganon is coming!”

But a part of him still felt like he should have known.

There was nothing for it now. Like Mipha, Daruk’s spirit was trapped inside the corrupted Vah Rudania. Yes, Link needed the Divine Beasts to aid in his assault on Hyrule Castle and Ganon. More to his immediate point, he wanted to free Daruk. It was the least he could do for his old friend. But, he was going to need help. All he had to do was find this Yunobo and get up the mountain.

Somehow, he had a feeling that was going to be much harder than it sounded.

---

Once again, Link found himself standing over the main control panel of a Divine Beast, knowing that once activated, he would not be coming back. The Fireblight Ganon had been trying, and he was hot, tired and covered in ash. But one thought had bounced around his mind the entire time he fought - he was fighting for a friend he had failed 100 years ago. The knight hoped that, like Mipha, perhaps he would get to see Daruk one last time.

As the Main Control came alight under his Shiekah Slate, the plant like structure of the ancient controls turned blue, Link heard a cheer from a familiar deep voice. “Great work, little guy!”

Turning, Link smiled to see Daruk, mostly intangible, but no less a present force than he had ever been in life. Arms out in victory and gratitude, he took a step forward. Link squared up to greet him, swallowing against the rise of emotion in his chest. “I owe you big for this. Because of you, my spirit is finally free. Can’t thank you enough!”

The Goron Champion scratched his head in the gesture Link had come to remember meant Daruk was nervous, confused, or apologetic. “I feel like I should apologize. I was doing all I could to protect Hyrule when that thing got the best of me. Sorry that me resting with the rubble caused such a mess.”

The knight nodded, and took a breath to assure his old friend that it wasn’t his fault, but Daruk continued. “The good news is, is that Rudania is now back under our control! That means that our century old Ganon beat-down plan can finally go into effect!” As the embers flickered in their ever ascending dance around them, Link had to drop his eyes at Daruk’s optimism. He felt responsible somehow, if not for the cause then at the very least for the resolution. He owed that to Daruk, and Mipha… and Zelda.

“I’m gonna take this thing down the mountain. I’ll have a better shot from there. And then, once you’ve made your way into Hyrule Castle,” Daruk clenched his fists in front of him, “We’re gonna light that thing up!” Slamming one fist in to the palm of the opposite hand, Link nodded, not trusting his voice.

“I wanna give you something. It’s a special power of mine called Daruk’s Protection. It’s no good to me now that I’m a spirit… but it might be useful for you.” Slapping his hands together, even in spirit Link felt the tremor in Vah Rudania from the great Goron’s strength. “Here it comes!”

Pooling energy grew between the Champion’s hands as he drew them apart, and when the red orb entered link this time, it was warm, and fire licked throughout his aura. He instantly knew how to summon the power. Planting his feet and punching his fists together in front of him, the angular-sphere encompassed him as he had seen it around Daruk over a century ago.

Looking up to Daruk with deep gratitude and sadness, knowing their time was drawing to a close, Link worked his hands as the tingle of magic faded. Daruk just smiled. “From this moment forward, the power of protection, from the depths of my soul, now lives in you.”

Link wanted to, felt he should say something, but the glow of golden energy around him heralded that Daruk was sending him to safety. Looking back to his friend, Daruk nodded. “Good luck, little guy. And… give my regards to the princess!” With one last flash of light, Link was gone.

[helly-watermelonsmellinfellon]

OMg so I didn't know you wrote Inuyasha fanfic and your 'Growth' caught my eyes cause of the pairing you listed for it and I read it on Dokuga and loved it! Kagome and Sesshomaru does sound better than Kagome and Inuyahsa. I can't belive I never thought of it before. Hope to see more for it soon in the meantime you got any fic recs for the pairing?

Do I have a list for you! ^-^

Unspoiled by forthright

Rated T:

Something goes awry during a trip through the Well, and Kagome is stranded in the distant past where she encounters a familiar face. When a very young Sesshomaru decides to keep her, the consequences ripple through time.

I followed this story from the day it started, to the day it ended. It was always a treat and it is a work of art. The best Kag/Sessh in my opinion and it made me want to write my own fics for the pairing. Anything by forthright is good. This is my absolute #1 Kag/Sessh fic.

I suggest forthright’s ‘Troved’ as well. It’s adorable with a widdle Inuyasha and is set in present time.

Kagome’s Trial by firevixen73

Rated T:

Kagome has a problem, a very big problem. Inuyasha would kill her if he knew, hell, Sesshomaru would help. Really what could she say to them? ‘Your fathers ghost is stalking me, trying to make me save Sesshomaru’s life’…that’s not going to go over well.

This is my #2 fav Kag/Sessh fic! It sat unfinished for years because another writer on FFN was stealing the chapters and wouldn’t delete, nor would the site handle it. So firevixen73 decided to stop updating until the story was removed. And many of us might have practically burned the thief at the stake for years until she fessed up and deleted entirely, feeling liek the piece of shit she was.

The story is being updated now and it is still perfection.

A Demon Lord’s Cry by Kagome Yuki Niwa

Rated T:

His howls haunted his castle and with nothing to do, his subjects call upon Kagome to subdue their lord. Rin has died and her death causes Sesshomaru to loose himself to his beast. While subduing the Western Lord, Kagome inadvertently binds herself to the taiyoukai, making herself Lady of the West, and suffers all the perks and downsides of being human royalty in a demonic court.

Very intense and you need to pay careful attention to everything. Also, feels from Rin passing away.

Midnight Meets Moonlight by Mujitsu

Rated M:

Kagome meets a present day Sesshoumaru and goes back to the Sengoku Jidai, only to meet the formidable TaiYoukai there.

I just really love this one. All the feels.

The Flower Girl by Kanna37

Rated T:

The story of how one tiny child led a human-hating youkai Lord and a pure-hearted miko to love - all through the medium of her favorite thing… flowers.

Rin is effin adorable and she helps bring them together.

Vying For Dominance by ShadowsWeaver1

Rated M:

Woken from a dream of heated passion and coursing desires, Kagome finds herself caught up in an ancient game of blood and lust. She must fight or she will die, vying for dominance and the rights to take her mate.

This one gets deep in various ways. Kagome being kind and a badass as well.

He Must Be Breeding by ChaoticReverie

Rated M:

Sesshomaru requires the perfect female to bear his heir, and Kagome… well, she doesn’t know how she gets herself into these messes.

Kagome is awesome in this one. There is humor.

These should be enough to start you off. Some are relatively long so it will take some time. Come back if you’re interested in more. ^-^

Have any good fic recommendations? Or can you tell us about some fics you've read which meant a lot to you?

So since my other ask contained only Naruto fics, here’s a rec list with non Naruto fics. Also please forgive me for not specifying why I rec each one, just...read the summary and decide if its for you :P Some of these I also read a loooong time ago, so I make no promises regarding the quality. This is also by no means an exhaustive list - I’ll save the ao3 fics for another day. Enjoy!

Update - it has now been colored and finished in a different post.

[qweenofnthing]

@forthrightly So excited to start reading this!! I have loved forthright’s writing since I read Unspoiled years ago. (I just re-read Unspoiled last night till the wee hours of this morning for the 12th time. I’m in too deep)

May 2022 Author Spotlight - Kanna37

Q: Where can we find you and your stories? A: A03, Dokuga, FFnet

Q: How would you describe your writing style? A: Off the cuff.  When I write something I usually have a general idea of where I want the story to go, but that's all, so I don't know where the tale will end up any more than the reader does. I basically write what I want to read; I get an idea and just start typing, so writing is a wonderful adventure for me.

Q: What's one thing you'd tell someone who is considering reading one of your fics? A: Hmm... Dozo yoroshiku onegai shimasu.  Or in English, please regard me kindly!

Q: How do you get/stay inspired to write? (ie: playlists, aesthetics, fanart, this blog, etc.) A: AMV's, fanart, and my own mind.  Sometimes things people say get me thinking, as well.

Q: What's your favorite SessKag moment from Inuyasha and why? A: When they were all fighting Naraku at the end, and Sesshoumaru finds Kagome unconscious, he stands and protects her until she wakes up.  And then after he kills Magatsuhi and Kagome's power is freed, in his thoughts he thinks of her as  "Kagome".  For me, this is a big moment, because it shows his growth throughout the series and the changes he has undergone.  In the beginning he just calls her 'human', like she's just part of a herd.  There was no respect there.  But then it progresses through the series, and he calls her 'miko' - but finally, at the end, we see him actually call her by name, as an equal, someone he respects and acknowledges.

Q: What do you like most about the SessKag fandom? A: The support.  You don't get as many haters and troublemakers in this fandom as in most others.

Unspoiled by forthright

Once Upon an Edo Night by MissTeak

Through the Mirror by Sidhe

[dog-forest-spirit]

Well if you want fic recs for sesskag then the fandom classics would have to be 'Tales from the House of the Moon', by Resmiranda. It's such a beautiful story and so well written that it'd probably be just as good if it were a random original novel. Also, anything written by 'Forthright' is a must. Her cute romcom Clutter is one of my personal faves and Unspoiled has been read by literally every sesskag shipper ever. She wrote a brilliant kogkag fic if you'd like to read that as well! 😄

Thank you so much for the rec!!! I’ll just her out as soon as I get some time!

Is she on AO3 or FanFiction.Net?

[mythicamagic]

5, 27, 30, 32 plz my bez

Thank you!5. Do you have any poly ships?

Hmm not really, but I'm okay with the concept of an Ot3 between Shirayuki x Zen x Obi from Snow White with the Red Hair. 

27. Is there a ship you’ve shipped for most of your life?I think what was technically my first ever ship was Ash x May from Pokemon...omg. Memories. I shipped Leaf (main Heroine in Leaf Green) with Gary too lol Ahh early 2000's, how I miss you. 

30. Name a couple of fandoms in which you have no ships.Game of Thrones, Voltron, Death Note (kind of), apart from that I can usually find one pair which I like together.

32. Share five must-read fics.Ohhh boi. 1. Tales from the House of the Moon by Resmiranda - SessKagPossibly the best fanfiction I've ever read, amazingly written and well crafted. You don't even have to like the ship to understand what's going on. The story just sucks you in.2. Unspoiled by Forthright - SesskagAgain, you don't have to like the ship to enjoy it. Kagome travelling back in time to interact with a young Sesshoumaru is a funny idea, but the fic is so heartwarming and feelsy.3. Tell Yourself by Princess Kitty1 - Ulquihime Ulquihime have to live together. Shenanigans ensue. The scenes with Ulquiorra visiting the library are the best. He gets interested in human romances and keeps getting recommended romantic tragedies by the librarians, much to his increasing frustration and confusion. He's like an alien being introduced to the concept of romance and reading Romeo and Juliet makes him confused about why it's so highly recommended if they die at the end.4. Stormbenders by Fandomme - ZutaraAdmittedly I can't remember much about this one, but I know it was amazing. The part where they spar is still ingrained in my mind because it was real hot to read and they don't even kiss in that scene, it's just the power of their elements.5. Frivolous Sentimentalities by Tally Mark - SessKagAlmost everyone's first SessKag fic. And for good reason. It's adorable and hilarious.

top 5 fics from any fandom?

so, I already gave some fics from naruto so I’ll do some of my faves from other fandoms.

All That Glitters by othellia Frozen Rated T: Anna is in the middle of a visit to the Kingdom of Corona when a mysterious blizzard strikes. As the only person with semi-relevant experience, she sets out to find out what - or who - is behind it all. However, there’s only one man who seems to hold any answers, and he might be more trouble than he’s worth…

it’s a hansanna fic and my gosh, is it fantastic! it’s written as an epic and holy cow does it deliver! there have been so many twists and turns that has had me react audibly. like seriously, I have never been so surprised by a fic. please, please, please check it out!

Tempest in a Teacup by AkaVertigo Avatar: The Last Airbender Rated T: Fate puts Katara in the Fire Nation to grow up in the company of a Dragon, a prince, and a lot of good tea. AU Zutara…of a sort.

this one seems to be a staple in the fandom and it is absolutely lovely. the progression is so natural and organic and just feels so real.

Unspoiled by forthright Inuyasha Rated T: Something goes awry during a trip through the Well, and Kagome is stranded in the distant past where she encounters a familiar face. When a very young Sesshoumaru decides to keep her, the consequences ripple through time. SK. COMPLETE.

guys. GUYS. this fic is just SO good. even if you aren’t an inuyasha fan, this story is great.

Promises to Keep by Kimberly T Avatar: The Last Airbender Rated T: One pirate gets impulsive, and an event starting in ‘The Waterbending Scroll’ sends ripples throughout the rest of Seasons 1, 2 & 3. A Zuko/Katara troubled friendship fic, to eventually become Zutaran in nature.

I just love the dynamic of zuko and katara in the show and this fic expounds upon it greatly. it’s such a nice “what-if?”

Inverse by Elesrea Harry Potter Rated T: Dumbledore asks Hermione to carry out a secret mission before the start of her fourth year. “Keep the Time Turner, Miss Granger. I want you to use it to help Mr. Malfoy reevaluate his beliefs. He is now depending on you.”

I just *clenches fists* love this one. one of my all-time favorite dramione fics.
