Hi! Any dair fanfictions you can link me to?

lol well you asked the right person. i have 43 dair fics bookmarked, but for this post i'm going to trim down the list a little lol.

cotillion chaos by atmymercy is a fic set in s1, where blair's helping prepare dan for his cotillion with serena, since she wasn't sure if she wanted to go yet. but while they do these lessons together, they slowly start to fall for each other. an adorable dair fic <3

the entire open wound series by mysteriesofloves is phenomenal. it's post-canon, revolving dan and blair being miserable in their marriages, before eventually finding their way back to each other. it has a lotttt of angst before their happy ending though.

this is how it's meant to be by an_expensive_imagination is a post canon dair fic (+background serenate) where dan is constantly there for blair and henry in ways chuck never is, and they end up falling in love. super cute dair fic, with a side of serenate and blerena friendship.

brutal by strideofpride is a dair fic set in s2, where after neither of them get into yale, they both are doing horrible, and find solace in each other. they become friends with benefits, before becoming something more. this one has a lot of angst before the happy ending though!!

the milk and honey route by mysteriesofloves is a dair yale au---where they both get into yale and end up falling in love. this one's super cute, and i love it.

the universe is shifting (and it's all for me) by woods_comma_elle is a dair fic where blair re-enrolls at Colombia, and runs into dan on campus and discovers he teaches a seminar there. they end up spending more time together again, and slowly falling in love again. i love this fic, it's blair centric where she's starting to find herself again, as well as falling in love with dan again.

you could call me "babe" for the weekend by pentaghastly is a oneshot about an au where dan's a bartender and blair's a snobby rich girl that keeps on going back to the bar, and they end up falling for each other. i'm a sucker for bartender aus, and this one's super cute and fluffy and i love it.

we are the crossroads by mysteriesofloves is a dairfair one shot, with tons of angst (but with a hopeful ending). there's so much pining and emotion in this one and it's so painfully in character, i absolutely adore it.

The Kind of Opposites Who Do Not Attract by Stapler_Stealer is a post-canon fix-it, where dan and blair keep on running into each other and end up falling back in love with each other. this has to be one of my favorite post canon fix-its, the way it all goes down is entirely plausible to me.

ofc, there's many more amazing dair fics, but these are just some of my favorites. i myself have a draft for a longer dair one shot and a draft for a longfic nyu dair au (but am to scared to publish bc i have 4 other ongoing fics lol), but regardless i hope i was able to help!!

Funniest thing is that in Russian the world "hooligan" not only exists but sounds exactly the same

Okay, for real, somebody needs to gif the part of the SAG Awards where Mikey, Yura, and Mark introduce Anora as one of the nominees for Best Ensemble, because it's hilarious and adorable.

“What is it... ‘hooligans’?”

“Uh, tough guys?”

“Okay.”

seeking, yearning, reaching hands

[cotofeya]

it’s one of the great cosmic mysteries. how it is that someone can go from being a total stranger, to being the most important person in your life.

FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF

just read “to be loved is to be worth the inconvenience” it blew my mind away

Hi friends! Here are some fic recs that absolutely no one asked for! 

- “didn’t know my heart” by babyfairy on ao3. Zutara, multi-chapter, 100+k, rated E. So beautiful. So amazing. So much comfort with just the right amount of angst. I have read it at least three times and will be reading it again. 

- “half in the shadows, half burned in flames” by r_astra on ao3. Zuko-centric, one shot. So poignant. So much angst. Did cry. Would read again. 

- “Racing Heart” by Smediterranea on ao3. Zutara, high school au, 18k+ one shot, rated T. So, so cute. Have read multiple times. I recommend anything and everything written by this author. 

- “i’m still here” by owedbetter on ao3. Zutara, 77k+, rated T. Look, I know that everyone has this fic in their back pocket when it comes to the “must read” list of the zutara fandom, but that’s just because it’s good. It’s so, so, incredibly good. I cry every time I read it. Which is a lot. 

- “The Color of the Stars” by bluenebulae on ao3. Zutara, 172k+, rated T. Another common fic rec, but that doesn’t stop it from being amazing and one of my favorites. So well written, so well thought out. 

- “Hopeless” by tullyblue12 on ao3. Zutara, 56k, rated M. I hardly ever see this brought up and it makes me so sad. it’s so beautiful. it has everything you could ever want or ever need. domestic!zutara, pining, angst. I’ve read it so many times and would and will happily read it again. A very slept on zutara fic. 

- “Once Around the Sun” by eleventy7 on ao3. Zutara, 146+k, slow burn, rated T. Look, I know that this is another “back pocket” zutara fic, but that doesn’t stop me from screaming about its glory from the rooftops. I mean, redemption arc Azula??? i cry every time. EVERY TIME. 

- “and you feel your heart (taking root in your body)” by raisindeatre on ao3. Zutara, 39k, slow burn. Yet another (in my opinion) heavily slept on Zutara fic. The writing is amazing and I love a good “post canon” tale. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll fall in love. 

- “Something Important” by OwlAway on ao3. Zutara, 95k, slow burn, rated T. I really don’t even have words for this one. Just, you just have to read it. You’ll be all the better for it I promise. 

- “Twist Me to the Left” by GrapefruitTwostep on ao3. Zutara, 91k, au (a rock band!au at that), rated T. I don’t know about y’all, but aus live in my head rent free. This is one of them. It’s so good. I mean, so good. Not to mention, the gaang? our favorite rag tag group of friends? THEY’RE IN A BAND!!! Also, if my memory serves me correctly, everything this author has written is pretty fantastic. (I just double checked, and yes everything is amazing. You have not lived until you have read “Moonlight and Sunshadow”). 

i’m going to cap the list off there and maybe make a separate post with some of my other favorites, but I now humbly ask @lordmomohismomoness, @hugs4zuko, @aprilmayship, and @babytreehugger for their favorite fics while also encouraging them to tag some folks asking about their favorites as well!
