#ao3 supremacy

If you wanna know how I spend my free time, this is it:

[goldrushenthusiast]

lord help me my mother is reading Anne of Green Gables fanfiction on fanfic.net

[faeriekit]

Gods I hate the search limiters for ffn. It was fine for discoverability but WOW is it tough to find stuff you know exists and therefore should be able to find

[mysticallilac]

[virtualcoffeemoon]

I have just now today found out that Niki read passerine on stream. I am unwell.

Currently 49 minutes and 26 minutes into the vod while simoultanously listening to all too well 10 min version tv as background music and I am so so happy

[yespomegranates]

I'm literally gonna go insane. If ao3 isn't up by my bedtime I'm not sleeping good tonight

[frogfleamarket]

!! somewhere between love and abuse spoilers !!

I'm only on chapter four and I'm screaming

reading this has made me feel so many emotions and I have had to stop myself from screaming out loud and stimming like crazy. it's the perfect mix of smut, angst, and wholesomeness and it drives me crazy ! the writing in my opinion is phenomenal for any batjokes fic I've read

to everyone browsing on the batjokes tag read this !! you can find it on ao3 :)

[a-tall-spatula]

hey babes is everyone's ao3 down or is it just mine??? very very concerning how am I meant to have dopamine now?????

[sk1fanfiction]

seriously not trying to be elitist about fanfiction sites, but can someone who actually uses wattpad please explain why every fic i click on forces me to scroll through fancasts and moodboards and sassy things the characters say and people explaining that inspiration for the fic before i get to the first chapter. i’m guessing the site doesn’t give people a space on their profile to put non-writing stuff. or maybe it’s just the culture there. i don’t mind extras in the A/N’s but the first chapter almost never being the first chapter is just annoying.

i’ve tried to read on that damn site for years but every time i rage quit. and the search functionality is trash tier.

again, not trying to be elitist but it’s very annoying when i just want to read fanfiction and end up being assaulted with pictures. ao3 allows you to put pictures, but people don’t abuse it.

and then, the ui is horrible and seems to force writers into doing tiny chapters because the text box is a third of the screen for absolutely no reason. it also doesn’t put the date the first and last chapters were posted so i can tell if it’s been abandoned, finished, or still updating. infuriating.

Nothing breaks the heart quite like this.

[fallinginloveiseasy]

[adhd-chaos-queen]

DESTIEL FIC RECOMMENDATIONS pt3

1st list (here) 2nd list (here)

As my obsession continues I’m back with another Destiel fanfic recommendations list.

Per usual most of them are top!Cas (in this house we only read explicit/mature fics). Long, smutty, sometimes fluffy, angsty stories I’ve read recently.

This time I decided to add a little blurb to each one for y’all (basically what I liked the most, what to expect etc)

(random order)

1. Redux by emmbrancsxx0, valleydean (emmbrancsxx0)

This one is amazing af. It’s like Supernatural in early seasons (when the writing was still good), but sometimes ever better. Each chapter is like an episode with a twisty plot and amazing writing. Every character is portrayed so accurately I feel like I’m reading actual ep of the show. Be warned, it’s a long one (387k words), however it’s brilliant and definitely worth checking it out. Domestic fluff and goofs between Cas and Dean are hilarious. And Cas is horny mofo who likes using his grace to fuck with Dean (I mean literally hehe)

2. Pizza Cats & Rainbow Flags by FriendofCarlotta

Love story of closeted librarian Dean and confident pastor Castiel. It has everything – denial, fluff, comedic moments, but in the end – it’s happy. Overcoming your insecurities and finally standing up for oneself. Lovely gesture brings them closer to each other to fight all the homophobic assholes of this world. (35k words)

3. Vibrato by tiamatv

Probably my favourite read in a long while. Devoured it in one sitting. Vampire!Cas is such a sweetheart, but a badass too. Author did an amazing job capturing the angst and fluff between them. It has some dark themes and it made me tear up at times. I would call this a perfectly balanced fic with a lot of hearty feels. Would give a lot more details, but don’t want to spoil the joy of finding them yourselves. DEFINITELY CHECK THIS ONE OUT 10/10, would recommend. (69k words)

4. In The Flesh? by beingforcedtolivebadwriting

Unexpected, but worthwhile read (it was on my “to read” tab for quite awhile, cause I wasn’t sure if I wanted to commit or not and at that point it was unfinished). It’s very entertaining and has a lot of comedic/jokey moments. Strange soul bond unite demon!Cas and hunter!Dean, so they start a weird friendship and kill monsters together. In the end, they fall for each other. Gotta say, both Dean and Cas are written a bit different than we know them on the show. Dean is more in touch with his feeling and Cas reminds me of Balthazar (his quirks, attitude, bratty behaviour). As I said, somewhat different, but for sure entertaining read. (90k words)

5. the home we make together by vaudelin

A fix-it fic. Read a lot of those after the finale. But this one intrigued me more than usual. After Cas died, Dean went out and built a life with baby Jack. Not getting any peace Dean decides to rescue Cas from the empty. It works, but they get stuck together managing parenting, their own feelings and everyone around them. It’s actually rather touching. Felt a lot when reading and still keep thinking about it. (48k words)

6. American Rebels by ValandraWrites

Uff. Very hot. Very nice (hehe). Rebel student Cas meets professor Dean. Usually I prefer other way around (prof Cas is everything… *salivating*) but this switch up brought me a lot of joy. Cas is confident and gives no fucks, while Dean is more shy and wants to stay in the closet. Their burgeoning relationship is rocky, however they help each other to figure things out while being uncertain of their future. (78k words)

7. No place I'd rather be by zation

Innocent dad Cas is sometimes all I need in this world. And this fic has him. Dean moves next door with his son Ben and soon befriends Cas, a single dad who has difficult relationships with his ex-wife. Dean ever so helpful lends a supporting hand and develops a crush on his straight neighbour. When secret is revealed Cas is stumped. But soon realises he feels more for Dean. Both sons develop a brotherly connection, which brings their dads together even more. (68k words)

8. The Memory of Love Always Remains by Rex_Writes

It’s quite sweet. Dean loses memory and doesn’t know how he ended up dating his crush. Lost of flashbacks and trying figure out what happened. Cas, now totally in love with Dean, is struggling, but persistent in his need to help Dean remember everything. Found this fic compelling and a great read when I was feeling down. (99k words)

That’s it. Shorter list than usual, but with the new job I find less time to search and find the gems. Also most of the fics I’m reading now are still incomplete, and I know people like them finished. However, I’ll be making another list when they complete, cause boy oh boy, some of these fics are out of this world.

Stay strong and stay reading! Peace out

P.S if you have any fics to suggest, send them my way
