As per my recent Twitter post, I have some lists of books which heavily inspired (or at least give the vibes I was trying to go for with) my Fable SMP fics, including the canon Ulysses backstory fic! They’re not in any particular order, and while I have not included trigger warnings for each of the books, I would highly recommend looking at content warnings if anyone does decide to check any out.

(Also I’m avoiding books considered “classics” because that would be most of the Brink list lol, but if people want I could do a separate list for those, I have a lot of it broken down by book/character in that series)
