This is a brainstorm for the future Hilson fic trope masterlist (this is NOT the actual masterlist, the real one will be formatted better)

lmk if i’m missing any!

hilson fic tropes (in no particular order):

secret relationship

fake dating/fake marriage

specific queer identities (ie Bisexual!House, including but not limited to: bi, gay, trans, ace, aro, etc)

pranks/prank wars

sex tropes/kinks (?) — i may need some help with this one as a sex-repulsed ace (also if anyone wants to help me co-mod this blog, lmk)

soulmates

infarction-related

- pre/during infarction (probably not post-infarction since that’s implied for anything s1 onwards)

amputation

AO3 ratings (E, M, T, G, NR)

word count (<5k, 5k-20k, 20k-100k, 100k+, WIP)

i would love feedback on this list!! am i missing any big ones? let me know!!

FAQs

What is this blog?

Here at Hilson Fic Recs, we provide Hilson fics and tropes for easy fic-searching/finding! A list of tropes can be found in the Trope Masterlist or Tag Library. Tropes are sorted either by tags (and the trope link will take you to a tag search) or through compilation posts, where a list of fics matching that trope are provided in one convenient post.

What are fic posts vs compilation posts?

Fic posts are posts with one individual fic linked to where you can read the fic. It contains the basic information (title, author, word count, content rating), as well as the fic description and the tropes in the fic. The tropes are linked to their corresponding compilation post. Fic posts also provide information about the fic's warnings and trigger warnings. Compilation posts are a collection of fics that relate to one specific trope. The fics listed link back to the fic post, where you can read the description and find the fic link. The fics are listed in order of posting, so newer additions will be at the bottom of the list (so check back regularly for new fics!)

What are ratings? Are you rating the fics you rec?

The ratings are based on AO3's Content Ratings. G for General Audiences, T for Teen and Up Audiences, M for Mature, E for Explicit (typically contains sexual content), and NR for fics that are Not Rated. Content ratings are designated by the fic author, so we just pull the rating from the fic itself. So no, we're not rating fics.

What are warnings?

Warnings are based on AO3's Archive Content Warnings. The specific archive warnings are: Graphic Descriptions of Violence, Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con, and Underage Sex. Fics with one or more specific warning will be tagged accordingly. If an Author Chose Not to Use Warnings, the author chose not to warn for content but content warnings could still apply. No Warnings Apply means the fic was not marked with warnings. Make sure to check the fic's tags for more detailed warnings, if available. Content warnings are designated by the fic author, so we just pull the Archive Content Warnings from the fic itself.

How are your Trigger Warnings different from warnings?

We tag common trigger warnings ourselves, based on what we remember from the fic or from the fic tags. These trigger warnings do not include AO3's Archive Content Warnings, as those are already tagged in each fic post. We add our own trigger warning tags to include a wider range of trigger warnings. If we are missing a trigger warning, let us know! We try our best to tag appropriately, but it's always possible something will slip through the cracks. A list of specific tags is provided in the pinned post, so feel free to blacklist any tag as necessary.

Who runs this blog?

This was started by @reinanova (I'm doing most of the organization/linking between posts) and I've been joined by the lovely and amazing @bug-city who has been making the vast majority of fic posts!

Can I ask for a trope/submit a fic?

Yes absolutely! Asks and submissions are open! If you're submitting a fic, there are submission guidelines for how to format it. Asks with fic links are also welcome! We may make a new post for the linked fic and reply privately to let you know when we've added the fic to our queue! Or we will post the ask with links to the fic and/or create the fic post from that ask. Alternatively, you can comment/reblog a compilation post with a fic link and we'll add the fic as soon as we are able!

Can I submit my own fic?

Absolutely!

What does "under construction" mean on posts?

I started this blog on 9 Feb 2025, and as such, am still in the process of getting links/compilation posts and the blog in general set up. Compilation posts with only a few fics linked will have the "under construction" note as a way to signal that more fics will be added eventually! This way, I can get the post link to the compilation post and add it to the masterlist post, so I have less work to do later. Even after the "under construction" note has been removed, more fics will continue to be added, so check back regularly for more fics in the compilation posts!

How does the timeline tagging work?

If the fic takes place during a specific season, it will get that season's tag. Same thing with pre and post-canon fics. If the timeline in the fic is vague or unspecified, but is set within a specific era (ie an unspecified timeline with the OG Ducklings), it will get that era trope instead of a tag. If a fic spans multiple seasons/eras, it gets the Broad/Vague Timeline trope. Compilation posts for the timeline eras will also have links to the season tag searches they correspond to. Basically, a fic will get either a season tag or an era trope link (or both in rare cases). Timeline eras include: OG Ducklings and Ducklings 2.0

Is there a difference between the Trope Masterlist and Tag Library?

They should both have the same links to tag searches and compilation posts! The only real difference is layout and device compatability: the tag library generally works best on the Tumblr website, but the trope masterlist post is more universal. Ultimately, it's personal preference for using one over the other. Trope Masterlist post can be found here! Tag Library can be found here!

What if I have a question that isn't on here?

You have a few options for that: commenting on this post or sending us an ask with your question are probably your best bets! This FAQ will probably grow to as we receive and/or think of more questions.
