Caryl Fanfiction Recs - Celebrating single-fic authors (part 1)
Happy Sunday, dear fellow carylers! Today I bring you the first part of a list that I have been preparing for some time.
Every fandom has its big stars: incredible gifmakers who everyone recognizes their work from a distance; amazing artists who draw fanart and edit fanvideos that deserve to be in a museum; and talented and prolific fanfic authors who are better storytellers than the actual canonical writers/creators. All of them deserve all the praise and love in the world, but, in reality, even the most popular ones don't get the feedback they truly deserve. Now, what about those fans who only create one thing for the fandom? Just one art, one video, one analysis, one fic? Where are the compliments for them?
So this list it's a way to rectify that for single-fic caryl authors. I hope a little bit of love reaches them wherever they are. Thank you for contributing to our fandom!
1. Wait by acaryler [ 9Lives ]
Summary: A new day only begins when the darkness goes away.
Rated: G

2. This is Who We Are by CarylLover [ 9Lives | AO3 | FF.net ]
Summary: Aaron is badly injured and, after the attack of The Wolves, the group at ASZ is left vulnerable. Daryl needs to go out to find more people, but he can't go alone. He chooses Carol to go with him. This time together will revive some painful memories for Carol and confessions will be made. But will they only come from Carol? Does Daryl have a dark secret too?
Rated: M
Word count: 10.490 (05 chapters)
Published: May 31, 2015 (complete)
3. Weeping Statue by Evilangel [ 9Lives ]

Published: January 22, 2016 (one-shot)
4. Contently Broken by FloraDora [ 9Lives ]

7. Felicity by Lesoni [ 9Lives ]
Summary: He hoped that she would understand him like she always seemed to do. That she was his woman-his Carol. The woman that he'd learned to love more than he loved anyone else-especially himself-because it had been her that had shown him how much he was actually worth. He was trying to give her that back. He damn near worshipped her, and she needed to know that.
Rated: E
Word count: 2.787
Published: April 23, 2016 (one-shot)
8. New Habits by LouWho88 [ 9Lives ]

It is August 1 and so that means theoretically this is the last month of my little ocean horror phase/detour (I mean let’s be real will I stop? Probably not, it will probably extend into September at least but go with it). That means:
1. Last Call for Recs for ocean-horror related things.
Here’s what I’ve read/watched so far:
The Deep, Nick Cutter | Our Wives Under the Sea, Julia Armfield | “Fear of Depths” + “Fear of Big Things Underwater”, Jacob Geller | Into the Drowning Deep, Mira Grant | Underwater (2020) | r/thalassophobia + r/submechanophobia | The Deep House (2021) | 47 Meters Down (2017) + 47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019) | The Toilers of the Sea, Victor Hugo (trans. James Hogarth) | Dark Water, Koji Suzuki (trans. Glynne Walley) | “Fear of the Deep”, Nexpo | Sea Fever (2019) | The Abyss (1989) | Open Water (2003) | From Below, Darcy Coates | Love, Death + Robots, “Bad Traveling" | “The Fog Horn”, Ray Bradbury + “A Descent into the Maelstrom”, Edgar Allen Poe collected in Stories of the Sea ed. Diana Secker Tesdell | Subnautica (2018)
And here is the queue:
Sphere (1997 adaptation)
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (either book or adaptation, we'll see what I have time for)
Whale Fall, Daniel Kraus (releasing in August! hoping I'm the first hold at the library, they have it listed as 'on order')
Leviathan (1989)
They Came From the Ocean, Boris Bacic
The Luminous Dead, Caitlin Starling (reread)
Anything glaring I’ve missed? I’m trying to avoid pure creature features, so that’s why there’s no Jaws despite it being a classic. Though it’s hard to avoid (honestly most of these have a creature) so I’m ok with there being a little creature as long as a substantial part of the fear/dread comes from the setting at first, rather than just a shark or cave monster or whatever. Anything submarine/diving/caves/etc, books/films/shows/podcasts, whatever you've got! And as you can see from the list of what I've got so far and the queue...doesn't have to be "good". XD Just has to involve the ocean and maybe be a little creepy. It's also ok if it's a little silly.
Not so much ocean horror related but my inspiration list is a little short for the second half of this fic (where the ocean gets a bit more metaphorical): anyone have anything good about near death experiences?
Drop recs in replies/in askbox!
2. Getting started on a new, thematically related knitting project that I am so excited about
Tumblr media
Look at these colors. I am so excited.

Licurici by @lou-isfake [133k, E]
Summary: Charlie wanted Harry, but he’d never planned on having him. He’d never planned on Draco Malfoy, either. He hadn’t planned on anything but living out his days in Romania, with his friends and his dragons and his safe, peaceful distance.
Apparently, it wasn’t a very popular plan.
This is a story about crumbs and flickers and roots, running away and coming home; about falling in love without meaning to (twice), and having truly good friends, and the mutually revealing recognition between two people in love with the same man.
This is my first attempt at a single rec because it doesn’t feel quite adequate to just include Licurici in one of my usual rec lists. I don’t think a fic has occupied my mind so much since I read Grounds for Divorce by tepre, which is saying something. From the moment Lou first mentioned this fic was in the works I was already it’s #1 fan and was so greedy for any snippet that was posted on tumblr. And then when we started getting full chapters ohhh boy did Lou deliver! This incredibly heartwarming story will take you on a roller coaster of glorious pining and angst and tenderness and will leave you feeling like a puddle of goo on the floor. It left me completely unhinged and Lou probably thinks I am positively deranged after all my incoherent comments, tags, and tumblr posts. But it really is a perfectly paced journey full of carefully constructed character development with such a unique perspective that is so refreshing and creative. Not to mention the delicious smut, intriguing plot, and the OCs you will completely fall in love with! This story to me means warmth and comfort and home. Lou has a way of creating a dynamic between characters that is just unbelievably endearing. I am in awe of Lou’s genius and will continue to shout it from the rooftops any chance I get!
Some of my favorite quotes:
“Charlie Weasley could look at Draco, just once, and instantly know the depth of his greatest weakness, the earth-shattering strength of Draco’s devotion.”
“I am neither selfless, nor honourable.”
“Charlie loved too hard, too big, it was completely overwhelming. It was raw and vulnerable, dangerous, selfish, magnificent agony.”
“…a hunger for a feast laid before him, not the hunger for crumbs left behind.”
I’ve also listened to the Licurici playlist an embarrassing amount of times. It’s brilliantly curated to give you the same feeling of yearning and warm fuzzies you get from this fic and I highly recommend checking that out too.
Read Licurici on AO3

My #1 post of 2022
the joy surrounding ofmd is how the sherlock fandom should have been celebrating in 2017 and it will never not break my heart knowing we could have had that. i’ll never forget seeing my dash full of devastated people feeling like they were lied to and baited and made to feel like “who they really are doesn’t matter”. i saw people leave fandom or take long mental health breaks because of s4. yeah we like to poke fun at mofftiss but what they did affected people in a very real way. ofmd is affecting people in a very real way. idk it’s just so nice to see people rejoicing rather than feeling like they were slapped in the face. also mofftiss can suck it because just look at how many articles are talking about the numbers this new show is bringing in. i hope it stings.

Fic Rec List August 2017
The Complexities of Eros
FullBladderLemons (orphan_account)
Summary:
Yuuri has to pee and can’t get out of his Eros costume…Victor helps. That’s about it. Pre-relationship/pre-canon.
Red As Carnations
v_larr
Summary:
“You made flowers grow in my lungs, and although they are beautiful, I can’t breathe.” ~~Unknown
Pillow Case
Creep
Summary:
He checked that he has all his stuff and he was about to leave when his eyes caught the pillow on the bed. It still had the imprint of Yuri’s head. On impulse, Otabek grabbed the pillow and took the pillow case, putting it on his bag.
He left his room and wondered what the fuck he had just done
sweet citrus scented sin
Yasuo_Karada
Summary:
Yuuri’s first mistake was consulting Chris for advice.
Yuuri’s second mistake was clicking on the link that was sent his way.
His third mistake was allowing the ‘Well…’ to pop into his head, as if that was enough to justify things, and before he knew it he was packing up two grapefruits into the cart, tossing in some oranges and a handful of random other fruit to make it less conspicuous. Viktor didn’t even bat an eye at the checkout.
Promises, Promises
mousapelli
Summary:
They really shouldn’t, but that never stops Yuuri and Victor.
Bachelor Party
justrae2010
Summary:
It’s not every bachelor party that you’re treated to a strip tease from your fiancee.
set my heart on fire
FunnyLittleOwl
Summary:
In a world where a broken heart was a literal condition, it was unbelievable to think any owner could be so careless with their own beating organs.
Victor Nikiforov was.
So it wasn’t the least surprising when his Heart decided to take matters into its hands.
(Inspired by the short In a Hearbeat.)
Jokes
kiazareni
Summary:

sshibal
Summary:
“I can’t believe you were getting dicked and didn’t tell me,” JJ says when he catches Otabek sneaking out of Seung-gil’s hotel room.

FyreFaerie
Summary:
He hadn’t been stupid. He’d known that his grandfather was getting old and worked too much for his age. He just hadn’t been ready to say goodbye
Warning: Character death (I feel like the summary kind of explains it though…)

Mari and Minako were Not To Be Trusted.
call me!
its_nochillforov
Summary:
There’s a beautiful stranger on Yuuri’s train so of course the only practical course of action is reading over this beautiful stranger’s shoulder. In Yuuri’s defense, it’s actually a really good book. And the stranger’s cologne smells really good.
And in that moment, Yuri realized: he fucked up.
SparkleMeow
Summary:
{{inspired by}}
“At the hospital:
*Viktor wakes up from an accident*

Yurio: JK he went to the bathroom”
Honey, Bee Mine
emeraldonyxdragon
Summary:
Inspired by a silly discord chat. Yuri loves going back to visit Gramps’ farm over the summer, but not so much when his indoor cat Potya decides she likes life outside better. After some fruitless chasing, Yuri decides that he might have to let Potya out more often if it means getting to talk to the young beekeeper next door. Also includes art!

TheCookieMonster77
Summary:
Sara likes dresses. She likes them vintage or off the runway, sleek or flowy. Mila’s seen the inside of Sara’s closet, bursting at its seams with endless colorful skirts and lacy necklines.

Ways to Love
Viktuurious (Sourwoif)

Based on the writing prompt: “different ways to say I love you”

Viktor grinned and pressed a kiss to Yuuri’s temple.
“There’s more than one way to say it,” Viktor offered.
Yuri watched them, unsure how to respond. He settled with scoffing and walking off to find someone who made more sense.
call of the wild
thishasbeencary
Summary:
After his failure at the Grand Prix Final in Sochi, Yuuri goes home, but home isn’t back to Hasetsu. Home is the sea, where Yuuri lives as a siren, who feels as though he’s a failure to his family because he’s yet to place a successful Call on a mortal. It reaches Yuuri that Viktor Nikiforov has shown up in Hasetsu to coach Yuuri, and Yuuri doesn’t understand why, and doesn’t feel worthy. He’s not even human, but for some reason, Viktor has chosen to coach him. Nonetheless he goes back to shore.
For some strange reason, Viktor Nikiforov seems unbelievably attracted to Yuuri.
(Or: The canon divergent au where Yuuri is a siren.)

Breakout Authors of 2020
2020 was a special year in nearly every regard. For fic authors, this meant that some were completely burned out, while others had time to finish up fics that had been WIP’s for years. And for some, it meant their first foray into Sherlock (BBC) fan fiction. While readership also seems not to have been on par with previous years, there were still a few new authors who garnered the attention of their captive audience and managed the following:
- completed their first fic in the Sherlock (TV) fandom in 2020
- completed a fic that got over 500 kudos or over 10K hits in 2020
Caveats: Kudo/hit counts as of 3 Jan 2021. Some of these may be pseuds of established authors or reposts of older fics from other archives. I ignored crossovers because the popularity may have come from the other fandom(s). I have not read any of these fics, so this is not a rec list per se, but I hope you find something you enjoy and give new authors lots of love!
(I also disqualified one fic because I believe its hit count was artificially inflated by bots.)
Past years: 2019 breakouts / 2018 breakouts / 2017 breakouts
aaronisgay for This is my friend, John Watson (3.6K, T, Johnlock) - 531 kudos Lestrade has known Sherlock over three years, yet in that time barely learned anything about the tall git. Then one day, Sherlock walks onto the crime scene with a short army doctor in tow. As time goes on, Lestrade wonders why neither of them ever go on dates, could this mean something? OTHERWISE where Sherlock is married and the Yard doesn't even notice.
melanoms for Power Play (169K, Sherlock/Reader, Sherlock/OFC) - 11236 hits You worked for years as an undercover agent to bust a human trafficking ring. But the Americans’ expansion to the UK leads you into unfamiliar territory. In your attempt to embed yourself into the new operation, Sherlock and John blow your cover. The arrogant detective thinks he can learn all your secrets from a single look. Little does he know that you’re the one learning his.
my_infinite_variety for i thank my lucky stars (for every crack, scratch, and scar) (3.1K, T, Johnlock) - 556 kudos Sherlock was acting strangely.Greg was aware that Sherlock acting a bit out of the ordinary wasn’t unusual. In fact, weird was Sherlock’s own brand of normal. But he had been texting the bloke for a week straight with no reply, not even with the promise of a locked-room murder. The locked-room murder, admittedly, had been a lie but Sherlock didn’t need to know that.

FemaleINTJ for Double Down (119K, E, Johnlock, John/OMC, Sherlock/OMC) - 10123 hits In a era where the Alpha population is barely recovering, Alpha John meets Sherlock, a whirlwind of an Omega who asks him to see a flat with him. But upon arrival John discovers that Sherlock isn't the only Omega living there. Sherlock's son Iris is also an Omega, not yet ready to breed but oddly enough he smells almost exactly like his father.

This is late. And was supposed to be up last month. Well, no time like the present! Time for more Fic Recs!
Fic #1
The Voice of Life by thegreatroshen
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12627348/
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Word Count: 165,188
Chapters: 32
Published: August 24th, 2017
Last Updated: October 31st, 2018 (Complete)
This one is an OC fic, and part one of two. Part two is ongoing, and was last updated August 22nd. And hoo boy, is this a doozy. Basically the author saw funny FF7 list fics, and wondered who cleaned up after the idiots. And that is how this fic was born. The OC is Sephiroth's secretary, has a one-sided rivalry with Genesis, and has the entire SOLDIER division wrapped around her pinky. It's hilarious.
Fic #2
Her Rival by CasualOne
Fandom: Pokémon
Word Count: 85,525
Chapters: 6
Published: June 22nd
Last Updated: June 22nd
A Rayshipping (Ash/Cynthia) with a dash of Time Travel. The catch? Ash is not Ash anymore. This story is excellent. It plays with your feelings, and makes you incredibly invested in the world being crafted through the story, and most importantly, making you care about the characters. 10/10 Absolutely reccomend.
Fic #3
Drawn to Life by NickTheHuman
Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia
Word Count: 188,158
Chapters: 45
Published: February 26th
Last Updated: December 3rd
Midoriya has a Quirk. To breathe life into his drawings. Which gets powered up by One For All. And he's childhood friends with two of the 1-B girls. ...To be honest, it's a bit difficult to think of something to say about this fic. I liked it, and found it entertaining, but it's not that memorable. Except for All For One. The guy is a genuine threat here, managing to outsmart Nedzu.
Fic #4
An Asura Is Born by TheNexus97
Fandom(s): Boku no Hero Academia/Kengan Ashura/Baki the Grappler
Word Count: 99,794
Chapters: 10
Published: April 5th, 2020
Last Updated: November 25th
Midoriya is basically Tokita Ohma. That's it. Oh, and Tokita Niko survives. And we still don't know what the fuck happened in that forest. Ahem. Okay, this one was highly entertaining. Seeing Midoriya grow from a pitiful street rat into a battle maniac was fun, and the pairing is also very interesting.
Fic #5
The First Pillar by NorthSouthGorem and Soleneus
Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia
Word Count: 187,808
Chapters: 10
Published: November 16th, 2020
Last Updated: October 31st
Another Midoriya has a Quirk. He possesses a telekinetic field that extends two inches from his skin, and allows him to control minerals. And he finds quite the creative applications for it. Not much to say about it, other than the fact that there are crossover characters. Not the characters themselves, mind you, but they share appearances, names, and personalities.
Welp, this is it. See ya next time!

Hi! I am pretty new to SH, and when I went to ao3 to find some malec fics I saw there were 19k fics there and I just... noped out. But then I came across one of your fics somewhere idr (prob tumblr) and I really really liked your writing style so I may or may not have spent my spring break reading all your fics... rip. I'm still way too intimidated by the sheer amount of fics on ao3 and since I really loved your writing, I was hoping you could maybe rec some, either fics or authors? Thanksss
holy shit, anon, I’ve written so much dkfgjhsdfkjg that must have been quite the undertaking for spring break lmao! I’m super happy to hear that you like my writing though, especially enough to read most/all of my fics! 
Okay, so. When I first started in this fandom, it was overwhelming too and that was in August of 2017 lol! I read a lot of fic rec masterlists on here and then once I went through those, I explored ao3 a little more, along with those authors that captured my interest. I don’t know what you’re interested in but I’ll just go ahead and list some of the fics I started with along with my favorite authors! Everyone on this list is a delight as a person and a writer and I hope you like them! 
(This is going to be probably a lot of me rambling variants of read this!! but I’m gonna put a short summary so you know what the story is actually about. I will most likely oversimplify the fic lmao but check out those links for the full synopsis!)
Over 100k
Fall Without Wings by @notcrypticbutcoy (WIP) This was the first fic I ever read in this fandom and it topped every masterlist when I started– for good reason. At the time, it was around 180k? and I read it in one day/sitting. The writing is impeccable, plot to die for, and the way the author builds the characters in this story is just engrossing as hell. This is god tier lmao!
One Line Summary: Canon divergent AU where shadowhunters have wings, Magnus is actively on the Clave’s shit list, and Malec’s relationship is the best sort of slowburn.
One Easy Answer by @maleccrazedauthor This is the first of a two part series and holy. shit. I was enthralled from the first sentence. Apparently, I have a thing for canon divergent AUs and I read this a year and a half ago but still remember gasping at a certain point, hanging on the edge of my seat as I waited to see what the characters would do. I love this canon divergent AU– it’s written so beautifully. (Note: The series itself is over 100k. This particular fic is around 36k)
One Line Summary: Magnus and Alec are leaders of their people and have to learn how to make things work when a marriage of convenience is their only option.
Anything You Say by @milominderbindered Admittedly, I’ve only read the first 80k? of this because I started it like over a year ago and it was a wip at the time but I remember being Super Into It and desperate to see where the story was going. Now that it’s finished, I’d totally recommend it!
One Line Summary: Detective Alec and Forensic Expert Magnus. Honestly, need I say more lmao.
Deeper than the Truth by @insiemes This was one of the first fics I read– probably within the first week of entering the fandom. It’s a wonderful story and a classic for a reason. And that ending:’)
One Line Summary: Alec is a famous author who uses a pen name and Magnus is a fashion designer in love with Gideon’s books.
60k-80k
The Haunting of Lightwood Hall by @bonibaru There are tragically few historical Malec fics in ao3 and this is a gem! The plot is interesting and the love story is super well done. And that ending! I loved it so much.
One Line Summary: Magnus Bane, a psychic, is invited to the Lightwood estate when a murder mystery implicated the heir, Alec Lightwood.
42 North, 71 West by @lecrit Okay so, admittedly, I haven’t read this yet but it’s because I don’t read wips and this just concluded like, last week lol. However, lecrit is a brilliant author and I’ve read several of her fics before and loved all of them! You really can’t go wrong with this author and I would encourage you to read anything/everything in her ao3!
One Line Summary: Politics!Alec and Actor!Magnus in one AU? Sign me up!
The Strength of (Un)Broken Bonds by Blue This is the first of a three part series and I love it so, so much! This is a little grittier though not angsty. The plot is tightly woven, the characterization spot on, and it’s an excellent exploration of the parabatai bond done right. Wildly creative and I everytime I reread this, I’m just in awe at this author’s skill!
One Line Summary: Post 2b, shadowhunters realize just how intrinsically their biology is tied to demon energy and Alec has to deal with a fritzing parabatai bond.
Addicted to You by AlxSteele I’m not a huge fan of fuck buddy AUs but this author is prolific in the shadowfam so I took a chance and I’m so glad I did! This was a realistic portrayal of this AU without being needlessly angsty. Everything was just right and I was so ready to see Magnus and Alec get their shit together!
One Line Summary: Magnus and Alec lead busy lives and neither one has time for a relationship– only what starts out as a string of one night stands leads both to catch feelings big time.
A Fighting Chance by HeartsDesire456 This is a classic for me. I read most of this in one sitting and was almost late for work! But it was totally worth it. I love the build up and the world that this author created. Really, one of the best malec fics I’ve ever read and I love it so, so much! I would recommend anything else by this author, especially Hard Choices, though that fic is considerably heavier though no less well done.
One Line Summary: Alec owns an MMA gym next to Magnus’s dance studio. What starts out as a noise complaint quickly changes Magnus and Alec’s life irrevocably.
We Break That Way by ifallonblackdays_fics and valfromrome I’ve read this several times and it’s a fic of substance. I love fluff but this is a really excellently plotted story that does a fantastic job of showing both Magnus and Alec as the leaders they are. It’s darker but realistic for the shadowhunters universe and I love how amazingly well these authors created a story that picks up after 2x18 in an excellent canon divergent AU where Magnus and Alec didn’t reconnect at that Hunter’s Moon party?
One Line Summary: Not all shadowhunters are happy that Alec’s trying to build relationships with the downworld– what happens when a group of extremists go after the Head of the New York Institute in a bid to return to the old way?
40k-60k
The Lonely Heart Hotline by @unrestrainedlyexcessive Anon. Listen. I am putting Fatale here because this is her latest completed fic and it’s 40k but I would heavily encourage you to read every single piece of writing by this author. I have read all of her fics at least twice and I love them to death. She does such an amazing job of portraying real life, even when her AU is fantastical. I’m partial to her Ave Atque Vale series, which was the first fic I read by her, and her Home series but as I was scrolling through her ao3 profile, I just kept remembering all her stories and how amazing they are. Seriously. I can’t stress enough about how much i love this author’s writing!!
One Line Summary: Alec’s a law student who moonlights as a phone sex operator and Magnus calls him one night, only to talk about music and his questionable phone professionalism.
Love is a Gamble by la_muerta This is another author that I adore and I’ve read all of her fics! This is a western historical AU that I read last spring and simply loved! I’d also recommend her series The Universe is Conspiring Against Us!
One Line Summary: Sheriff Alec Lightwood is busy enough keeping Nephilim Falls from descending into chaos but when Magnus Bane opens a gambling house in town, Alec’s has more on his mind than his townspeople.
20k-40k
Give Me the Pain (Then Take It Away) by LadyOxymoron This is a beautifully well-done story of Alec and Magnus exploring BDSM, particularly Alec’s submission. But it’s so much more that. It’s about their relationship and Alec learning to take better care of himself and overall, I was stunned at this fic. I would really recommend anyone read this for something that pulls the heartstrings while still being hot as hell.
One Line Summary:  After a near death experience and throwaway line from Magnus, Alec finds out that he can let himself fall, as long as Magnus is there to catch him.
Appassionato by chonideno This is a classic in the shadowfam. A wonderful story of malec falling in love before properly meeting. The vibe is so ethereal and full of feeling. Really lovely story.
One Line Summary: Alec plays the piano and one day, a request slips under his door– what follows is months of Alec playing for a stranger, both of them falling one note at a time.
Pillow Talk by lacheses This was one of the first fics I read and it’s a really beautiful story that takes place during season one. It’s gentle and really does a fantastic job of building Magnus and Alec’s relationship, both of them so cautious and invested so quickly after meeting.
One Line Summary: Alec Lightwood falls in love, one nap at a time.
Good Our Whole Lives by @beatperfume This fic ruined me. I was invested from the first word and read it in one sitting. The emotions are enough to put you in a stranglehold and while I was wildly unsure based on the synopsis/AU (hooker AU) I gave it a chance and I am so glad I did. I remember reading it and just feeling so much. Wonderful, 10/10. I would rec anything by this author (she really is very creative!) but particularly and I will be your shade.
One Line Summary: When Magnus catches Alec, a shadowhunter, hustling his club the two of them reach an agreement.
Three’s a Crowd by GoldenDaydreams I’ve read this a few times and I love it to death. Super lighthearted and funny, it’s a fun story about Alec and Magnus trying to have sex and Jace being a perpetually pain in the ass cockblock lmao.
One Line Summary: The story where Jace keeps interrupting Alec and Magnus’s ‘alone time,’ and they’re both super fed up.
Sympathy for a Prince by @ketzwrites This was a hella fun story about Magnus as a literal prince of hell and Alec, a no-nonsense detective just trying to do his job. Ketz has written several fics I’d recommend but this might just be my favorite!
One Line Summary: When Magnus, prince of hell, comes top side he doesn’t expect to meet Homicide Detective Alec and become his partner, so to speak.
Hold Onto Me (Cause I’m a Little Unsteady by MagnificentlyMagic One of my biggest pet peeves with the show is that scene in 1x09 where Jace betrays Alec and then it’s never spoken of again. This is a great fic that takes that scene and runs wild with it.
One Line Summary: His parabatai rune was burning, not with death, or injury, but with betrayal.
10k-20k
Yours is the Light by @theonetruenorth This author is an autoread for me and I love a good abo fic. This is so beautiful and I really, really love this. It spins the trope on its head while still in the shadowhunters verse and delivers a really satisfying love story for Alec and Magnus! I would really, really recommend literally everything they’ve written though!
One Line Summary: It wasn’t exactly a secret that out of all three secondary genders, it was the alphas who were the strongest, the most aggressive, the most territorial– It was also completely wrong.
Inimitable by Bumblebeesknees. I adore anything by this author but this. Wow. The plot is super creative as Alec and Magnus get sent back to Victorian London and Alec has to do something both of them would rather he didn’t. It explores a murky area that has the potential to ruin both of them and the writing is perfect. I don’t want to ruin anything but you gotta read this. I read it when it was first posted then scrolled back up to the top and immediately devoured it a second time. I’d recommend anything and everything by this author.
One Line Summary: Stuck in London in 1882 without Magnus’ magic, the way back to New York in the 21st century requires securing a charmed amulet from the Magnus who lives in that time.
It’s a Kind of Magicby @thealmostrhetoricalquestion I love every single fic by this author and would highly suggest you read everything by her but this one has a special place in my heart. It’s light and sweet and a wonderful AU!!!
One Line Summary: Magnus and Alec live on the same floor and are highkey into each other– the only thing is that Magnus is a witch and Alec’s a mundane.
1k-10k
You Only Live Twice by partnerincrime I love this story so much!! It’s a fun little Simon POV on Alec as a gardening billionaire recluse and Magnus as a CEO of the shadow world’s largest department store. It’s hilarious and I lose my shit every time I read it!
One Line Summary: In which Simon Lewis becomes an entrepreneur, and, through a series of highly improbable events, fails upwardly toward success.
Lonely Starbucks Lovers by partnerincrime is also a hoot and I love this author so much!! It’s the quintessential coffeeshop AU.
PWP
The Way I Feel for You by @theonetruenorth Goddamn, this is a masterpiece. I’ve read this several time and like I said earlier, anything by this author is guaranteed to be amazing.
Shadows. Shovels. Joy. by oncethrown While this isn’t strictly a pwp, it’s about the parabatai bond and Jace’s POV on Alec having sex. Heartwarming and super well written! another example of how the parabatai bond could be well done.
In Plain Sight by redorchid. Holy shit, I love this to death and it’s actually the first in a series called membership, about Magnus and Alec’s exploration into exhibitionism.
hit me like a ray of sun, burning through my darkest night by liamandzayn I’ve read all of her malec fics at least twice and I just think she writes great sex lol. Definitely recommend!
With Bones Unbuttoned by @ohfreckle No smut list would be complete without ohfreckle. She’s an autoread author for me and I think I’ve yelled about this particular fic literally every chance I get. Goddamn, the sex is hot as hell and the emotions that pour through are enough to make my own heart ache. No one does it better and I wish everyone would read this and die with me.
Lionheart by Bumblebeesknees Both this one and the one above are 2x18 makeup sex fics but they’re both very different. I also love this one immensely and this author, as I’ve mentioned above, is amazing. 
Series
Alec Lightwood Deserves Nice Things by @my-nameless-bliss This series ruined me. I can’t stress enough how much I love this series. It’s beautiful written, the emotion gut wrenching, and it’s a wonderful exploration of Alec’s masculinity and what that even means. It really made me think and reevaluate my own life and I am awed by this author’s talent and everyone needs to read this. There’s also ALDNT extras which is a multichaptered work set in this universe.
We Built a Dynasty Like Nothing Ever Made by Madalena. This was a canon divergent AU set after 2x17 that does a great job of exploring shadow world tensions and Alec as a Leader and Head of the Institute. Creative and stunning and wonderfully plotted, I’ve read this series several times and love it so much!!
The Boundless Saga by sarcasticfluentry and teumessian This is a canon divergent AU that starts in season one and it’s a classic for the shadowfam in my opinion. I particularly love Parts 4 (which could go in the pwp section) and 7, which I think it’s an excellent exploration of shadowhunter tradition and expectation.
Authors
@laughingmagnus Serendi has been an autoread author for ages, since the beginning, really. Her writing is wonderful and she really hits emotions in a way that’s enviable. Her Maryse centered fics are superb.
@gingergenower I’ve been yelling about Kat’s writing since I discovered her last winter. I started with goddamn right (you should be scared of me) and I’ve read all of her fics multiple times. You really can’t go wrong with her!
@thattrainssailed Monica’s writing style is very distinctive and literary. She writes Malec like they’re set in stone entities, powerful and always in control, even if everything else is a chaotic mess.
@bytheangell Elle can write fluff or angst depending on her mood and she does a wonderful job with whatever strikes her fancy. She has a >100k fic called Support System that I’ve heard really great things about, even if I haven’t had a chance to read it yet.
@royaltybane Lydia is an OG in the shadowfam for good reason! Her writing is fluid and suitably full of feeling. You really can’t go wrong with anything by her!
Ohprongs is a wonderful author and I’ve read all of their stuff on ao3. I’d highly recommend them for shorter pieces.
This is by no means an exhaustive list! I’ve quite literally read thousands of Malec fics since I joined the fandom in summer 2017. These are the most memorable to me, however, and the ones that I’ve returned to time and time again. Any author I mentioned would be worth going through their backlist. I often just picked my favorite fic of theirs. 
If there’s something that you’re into– a trope, a general tone– you can always come back and I’ll do my best to answer your questions and give you recs! I hope that this helps and isn’t too overwhelming– I tried to organize this masterlist by word count and then misc categories. Thank you so much for thinking highly enough of my writing to ask me this and I’m sorry it took a little while to compile this fic rec list! Happy Reading!!

Rec’tober: WIP but not forgotten
I’ve wanted to do a list like this for ages so why not do one now. The criteria I set for myself are: these are all Miraculous Ladybug fics, the fic has to have not been updated in the last year (so not in or after October 2018), and all must be individual WIPs not marked as complete (i.e. an incomplete ‘series’ of completed fics would not count).
These are absolutely not intended in any way as a “PLEASE FINISH THESE!11!!” but more an appreciation of some cool ideas and concepts that I really enjoyed and stuck with me over the years.

Monthly fic rec showcasing fics I’ve read for the first time, and old favorites that I’ve been drawn back to for another read. In this installment, there are fics from @sadaveniren @taggiecb @newleafover @beau-soleil-louis @kingsofeverything @dinosaursmate @jaerie and @runaway-train-works 
FIRST TIME READ
Face Your Fears by SadaVeniren @sadaveniren
Main Pairing: Harry/Louis | Rating: Explicit
Written for: @onedirectionbigbang
Words: 92,217 | Published: April 24, 2019
Tags: ABO, Mpreg, Alpha Louis, Omega Harry, Famous/Non-Famous (check work for further tags)
Summary: Harry is a single father, pretending to be a beta after his alpha mated him and left him. He’s getting by just fine raising the twins when Louis walks into his bakery. Too bad him and Louis will never be a thing.
That’s What I’m Here For by taggiecb @taggiecb
Main Pairing: Harry/Louis | Rating: Explicit
Written for: @onedirectionbigbang
Words: 46,838 | Published: April 18, 2019
Tags: Older Characters, Age Difference, Friends to Lovers (check work for further tags)
Summary: Louis Tomlinson is a dairy farmer on a tiny farm in eastern Canada. His wife of nearly thirty years has left him and his children are all grown up and out of the house. Louis needs help running his business but has no idea where to even start looking. Luckily for him, his children know just the man for the job.
Constant Debauchery by blake @newleafover
Main Pairing: Harry/Louis | Rating: Explicit
Written for: @1dgayboficfest
Words: 19,421 | Published: March 2, 2019
Tags: ABO, Alpha/Alpha, Historical AU, Sexual Awakening (check work for further tags)
Summary: When Harry speaks, it’s with a cloud of smoke spilling out across Louis’s ear, cheek, and neck. “I’m glad I’m not the only alpha who’s not an idiot.” Louis forces his smile to stay on his face as Harry stands up and follows the boys as they pick up their things and start walking, but he’s shaken to the core, even though he shouldn’t be. For so many reasons, he shouldn’t be. But this is the moment that he realizes what he’s known, on some level—what he has smelled—all night. Harry is an alpha. It’s also the moment that he realizes he’s disappointed that it’s the truth. OR Harry is an alpha who loves getting his mouth knotted by other alphas. Louis is happy to serve. Fun smut! But also angst and sexual awakenings.
Breathe Me by only_angel_28 @beau-soleil-louis
Main Pairing: Harry/Louis | Rating: Mature
Words: 13,550 | Published: April 11, 2018
Tags: Strangers to Lovers, Homeless Louis, Music Student Harry, Hurt/Comfort, Smut (check work for further tags)
Summary: “Louis?” Harry queries softly, his voice nothing more than a whisper. “Why are you living in my car?” Louis sighs, and this time it’s laced with a mixture of sadness and exhaustion, the sound of it tugging at Harry’s heartstrings. “Long story,” he says finally with a weak smile. “Will you tell me?” Harry prods gently, his demeanor akin to that of someone approaching a wild animal with their arms outstretched in a gesture of submission. “You don’t have to, like—I mean…it’s just, I’m a pretty good listener, and you seem like maybe you could use a friend?” “What gave me away?” Louis jokes dryly. OR the one where Harry has a broken heart, Louis has a broken home, and all it takes is one night together for them to fall in love.
Snow Big Deal by fullonlarrie @kingsofeverything
Main Pairing: Harry/Louis | Rating: Explicit
Series: Tiny Penis Fics (Part 3/3)
Words: 8,390 | Published: April 15, 2019
Tags: Small Penis, Snowboarding, Photography, Smut.
Summary: Louis is a professional snowboarder set to appear in ESPN The Body Issue and Harry is an assistant photographer working for the magazine. They have more in common than they think.
Graphic Design Is My Passion by fullonlarrie @kingsofeverything
Main Pairing: Harry/Louis | Rating: Explicit
Written for: @homosociallyyours
Words: 6,482 | Published: April 19, 2019
Tags: University/College AU, Artworks, Dildos, Blowjobs, Jerking Off.
Summary: Graphic design student Louis Tomlinson has exams to study for and final art projects to complete if it would stop raining long enough for him to walk across campus. Luckily Harry Styles has an umbrella, and he’s perfectly willing to share. Louis doesn’t plan to get his heart broken and he doesn’t plan to make almost a hundred silicone dildos. One of these things definitely happens.
OLD FAVE’s
We’ll Be Seamless by dinosaursmate @dinosaursmate
Main Pairing: Harry/Louis | Rating: Explicit
Words: 52,085 | Published: August 3, 2017
Tags: Tumblr AU, Photography, Smut, Body Worship, Slow Burn (sort of)
Summary: Green reblogged an old photo of himself. It was from back in October, a Halloween special. A pulse shot all the way through Louis because this photo was his absolute favourite, and it had taken the rest of the year for him to wean himself off of it. Green was on his knees, arms stretched out in front of him with his fingertips digging into the surface of his bed. He was wearing a pair of cat ears on his head, his curls falling forward. His back was arched, and in the foreground of the picture, Green’s bum was high in the air, a long, black cat tail sitting neatly between his cheeks. OR Louis spends all his spare time scrolling arty nude blogs on Tumblr but amongst them all, Green is his favourite.
Salt And The Appetite by SadaVeniren @sadaveniren
Main Pairing: Harry/Louis | Rating: Explicit
Series: No Control Club Series (Part 1/5)
Words: 14,458 | Published: July 29, 2018
Tags: BDSM, Roleplay, Dom/Sub/Switch, Club Owner Louis, Blogger Harry (check work for further tags)
Summary: No Control is a No From Me | By Harry Styles “I know this is probably a controversial opinion and review because I have only heard great things from people going to No Control before but I cannot recommend it to anyone. While the facility is nice, the people who work there do not seem to care for their clients well being, and I do not feel safe going there in any capacity. I suppose when I want to play next I will have to travel back down to London, or maybe, unfortunately, Liverpool. If I must.” OR Harry, a popular BDSM blogger, writes a negative review about Louis’ club. Louis wants to have a chance to make it up to him.
Woke Up Feeling Knotty by jaerie @jaerie
Main Pairing: Harry/Louis | Rating: Explicit
Words: 7,903 | Published: January 9, 2018
Tags: ABO, Alpha Harry, Beta Louis, Porn Blog, Virgin Louis (check work for further tags)
Summary: Beta Louis has a kink for knotting and the secret aesthetic porn blog he runs about it is more than proof. When he accidentally finds out his alpha best friend Harry is one of his biggest fans, he knows he has to come clean after everything that has already happened between them. Harry just might be willing to help him out anyway.

Main Pairing: Harry/Louis | Rating: Explicit
Words: 3,787 | Published: January 5, 2019
Tags: Cam Boy Louis, Student Harry, Porn With Plot.
Summary: Harry is well aware he should be studying or watching T.V or cleaning the kitchen or doing literally anything from a list as long as his arm instead of this, but he is. The list of reasons why he shouldn’t be doing this is probably at least double that, but here he most definitely is. He’s sitting on his bed, legs straight out in front of him, back propped up against the headboard and some fluffed-up pillows and his MacBook is resting on his thighs. His jittery fingers drum lightly on the edge of the keyboard as he stares at the tiny digital clock in the top right-hand corner of the screen, willing the seconds to tick by faster. He wants to get into this and get it over with in equal measures. OR The one where Harry has a particular desire that only Louis can fulfill.
**If you read and enjoy any of these fics, please remember to leave a nice comment, kudos, and reblog the author’s Tumblr fic posts where available.**

Fics:
On my knees (E, 2.3 k)
Phil knows that sometimes Dan fell into this weird headspace where he felt overwhelmed by emotions and needed Phil to tether him to the ground.
Let your balalaika sing (T, 3.3k)
Dan and Phil go to Russia during the Interactive Introverts tour.
Brotherly (G, 1.7k)
Martyn has a text conversation with his mother while on tour.
Tired to the bone (G, 1.3k)
Dan is really tired after the tour.
Family matters (T, 3k)
Being around the Lesters always causes mixed feelings in Dan.
With you in my bed (T, 1.1k)
Sharing a bed is not always as romantic as romantic movies show it.
Against the rest of the world (G, 1k)
Phil loves Dan. That much he knows. It’s simple and all consuming and easy. There is nothing easier than loving Dan. Making Dan happy is the reason Phil gets up in the morning. But he knows that Dan isn’t happy. And that just tears Phil’s soul to shreds.
Space inside (G, 1.8k)
Dan and Phil Massive Pizza Mukbang, 28:30
"Do you ever feel like you don't have a personality?" "What?" "Ok, scratch that, next conversation."
Borderline (E, 3.7k)
Dan and Phil Rize Show (August 14th 2018):
D: It’s just because he’s used to having dozens of people having massive gangbangs and doing drugs, while we’re like, let’s play Mario Kart…
P: Speaking of, not gangbangs, but drugs, we went through the border into Canada on a bus…
D: Right, that’s going to be used out of context.
[…]
D: There was a guy from Canada, who was called Chan and he was our border agent.
P: Yeah, Dan loved Chan.
The Fantastic Mr. Whiskers (T, 3.1k)
Mr. Whiskers does not approve of guests. But this human? This human was ok. This human could stay.
The Royal Mr. Whiskers (T, 2.3)
Mr. Whiskers just could not understand why they had to move to a new apartment. This apartment was perfect! It had the couch Mr. Whiskers liked, the little nook above the fridge from where Mr. Whiskers could keep watch, a nice warm bed for him. All the smells were accounted for, all the walls sufficiently improved by Mr. Whisker’s claws. But no, apparently with Phil moving in, his humans didn’t have enough space anymore.
Long-horned beetles and dusty archives (T, 4.7k)
Dan was climbing up the marble steps of the museum full of dread and resentment. It was Sunday morning, and all his classmates were probably still asleep, or nursing their hangovers from the party before. But Dan couldn’t do that, no. Because Dan skipped too many classes in his General Biology course, he now would have to make it up with extra credit. By working at some sort of museum with some grad student that needed help sorting bugs. Yuck.
Spoiler: the grad student is Phil.
Happy Birthday Philly (G, 650)
As far as birthdays go, this one was turning out to be pretty shitty.

Author Name/Nicknames: natsora
When I Created This Account: August 2017
Why I Created This Account: To browse Tumblr and to like and reblog stuff
Fandoms You Write For: Mass Effect, Mass Effect Andromeda, Dragon age Inquisition
Where You Post: AO3, FFN, Natsora.com
Statistics over all years, AO3, by Kudos
Most Popular One-Shot: Falling, Intentionally, written as a gift during Spec Recs. It’s an enjoyable piece of story. 
Most Popular Multi-Chapter Story: Hands down it has to be The Cetus Arc. My second long fic and my first serious attempt at a non-canon plot
Favorite Story You Wrote: It really defers from day to day. I like the WIPs I am writing now. I love The Cetus Arc most popular story to date. Check out my works and you let me know which is your favourite story of mine. 
Story You Were Nervous to Post: Frankly, I am nervous to post all of them. But I think Raining In Eos is one of the most nerve-racking one, in fact it’s my 5th most popular fic. Goes to show what I know. It’s my first time having non-con in my story and I was bracing myself for the blow back. Thankfully there wasn’t any. 
How Do You Choose Your Titles: Usually I have some naming convention to follow. The Archon Arc, The Cetus Arc, The Persephone Arc, catch my drift? Otherwise it’s just gut feel, song lyrics, song titles and the like. 
Do You Outline: Yes, some parts in detailed, some parts sparsely
Complete: One shots? Long fics? A few here and there. Going through my works will be easier than listing them here. Check out my works
In-Progress: The stunning conclusion to my 3 WIPs The Persephone Arc, The Lost Childhood (new chapter up today), Splintered Minds
Coming Soon: Uppercut (Illegal Fighting AU), New one shots for The Misfortunes of Reyes Vidal, The Sword and The Scabbard and finishing up the prompts for Bad Things Happen
Do You Accept Prompts: Yes and no, I never reblog prompt lists cause I have so many other projects running. But the few (one, LOL) that I’ve gotten I’ve fulfilled. 
Upcoming Story You Are Most Excited to Write: I’m excited to start work on both the sequel of Cetus Arc, and the ME1 fic for my Shepard. Also there is that Illegal fighting AU i want to get to!

Happy New Year, Han/Leia folks!! Like last year, I’m sending this one off by sharing some of my favourite fics written in 2018. Since I’d already posted a rec list for Fanfic Writers Appreciation Day back in August, I left those out this time and included only the new ones I’ve read since (that’s why this list is a lil’ short!). Also, I limited myself to one story per author to be fair, but please check out their other works as well, they’re worth it!
✨ A Triple Sight in Blindness - BlossomsintheMist
✨ Baby, Let Your Hair Hang Down - @yoyomarules
✨ Fake Date - @winterbythesea
✨ Fallacy of Accismus - @suburban-white-queer
✨ It ain’t what they call you, it’s what you answer to - @three-course-dessert
✨ Love Like Starlight - Pontmercyingtilthecowscomehome 
✨ One Night - @lajulie24
✨ The Family Ties That Bind - DesertVixen 
✨ The Great Alderaan Fire - @organanation
✨ Summer Solstice - @letswookieswin
✨ Undercover Kiss - @nicolleorgana
✨ What Comes Next - @inelegantprose
✨ Whore - @madame-alexandra 
Thank you, writers, for giving me such terrific stuff to read 💖 If you liked these fics, please remember to leave kudos/like/fave or a comment on them 😊 Remember also that the purpose of a rec list is to share those stories that one has personally and subjectively liked. It’s not possible for me to read all the Han/Leia stories to be found or to like them all. If you don’t like my selection, feel free to share your own rec list in your own blog 😉
