Fanfic Friday Recs 📖 🤓
To no one’s surprise, I read a lot of Gendrya fanfic...and I’ve had quite a few people reach out to me for recs. I’m looking at you @nrgburst ;) so I decided to round out the week with a list of stories I’m reading atm. I may do this every week or every other...we shall see. For now, here are the six stories that have stood out to me in no particular order. Note: brevity *is* the soul of wit so I’m limiting myself to a one-sentence description for each one!
Can’t help by @jepshe
Gendry and Arya share an intimate dance at a wedding amidst uncertainty of where they stand with each other. Sweet, deep, and intensely romantic.
100 Times You by @sklirotiri
Based on this amazing prompt, Arya and Gendry getting engaged in the only way they know how: with a custom ring and a totally unorthodox proposal :)
Friday by Dice by @dragongoddess13
Super creative, super sexy (as usual), and excellent banter...need I say more?
let me help by @lightninginabottle0613
Not sure this one needs any description to get you to read it. Just do it.
practice makes perfect by @kelleesioverhere
I’ve been dying over this story for weeks, but this last chapter just...flooded my basement (*insert Joey Tribbiani saying “I’m not even sorry”*) Best Arya introspection I’ve read in a long, long, long time + absolute and utter sexiness.
like the ocean takes the dirty sand by @thelandofnothing
Such a touching portrayal of established Gendrya...sigh. This spoke to me, as all of this lady’s writing does.

chicago’s very own xavier cassidy has been spotted on madison avenue driving a lamborghini aventador , welcome ! your resemblance to jack gilinsky is unreal . according to tmz , you just had your twenty third birthday bash . your chance of surviving new york is uncertain because you’re insouciant , but being exuberent might help you . i think being a aries explains that . 3 things that would paint a better picture of you would be wearing his airpods 24/7, empy bottles of hennessy, juul pens lying around his room, late night ‘u up?’ texts . ( cismale + he/him )
full name : xavier ( of the spanish ‘ castle ’ ) romeo ( of the italian ‘ pilgrim to rome ) cassidy ( of the irish ‘ curly haired and clever ‘ ) de la fuente ( of the spanish ‘ of the fountain ’ ) .
nicknames : xav , xavi , dumbass.
date of birth : 5th april.
birth place : catalan , spain.
sexuality : pansexual .
occupation : professional hockey player.
character inspo : guzman nunnier from elite , scott mccall from teen wolf , lucas scott from one tree hill , christopher mckay from euphoria , joey tribbiani from friends .
father : matteo leonardo de la fuente , former nhl player ; retired goalie for the chicago blackhawks .
mother : liana de la fuente ( nee cassidy ) , ballerina for the new york ballet company before retiring after an acl injury .
siblings : kaia liana cassidy de la duente , younger sister & currently an instagram influencer , trying to become a serious actress.
prologue *
so xavier romeo cassidy de la fuente was born to liana cassidy and matteo de la fuente . liana had made a name for herself as a ballerina for the new york ballet company before being forced to retire due to acquiring an acl injury whilst performing dual roles in the swan lake . devastated , liana decided to start a family with her husband , a talented goalie for the chicago blackhawks , a few months later out comes their oldest son and problem child , xavier .
so starting from now u all have full permission to drag xavier bc he is an idiot with a mf capital i !! xavier was born in catalan , spain and his family stayed there for a few years , with his father travelling back and forth for the hockey season before they permanently relocated to chicago .
( trigger warning : cancer & death ) to put it simply , xavier had a treasured childhood with two doting parents . until after one unfortunate scan had condemned liana to suffering through breast cancer for a few years until there was nothing more they could do for her . liana’s death took a long - lasting toll on their family , to put it simply , she was the heart of the family and despite xavier growing much closer to his father and younger sister , he suffered going back home and being faced with the memories and ghost of his mother .
xavier finding his one true love , hockey -- was quite ironic due to his father being a prominent figure in the nhl . he spent years during high school fighting his natural talent for the sport by trying to find the same passion in sports such as water polo , lacrosse , soccer , track . his high school resume was diverse , to say the least . but one cannot deny fate , and the universe dictated that xavier would play for the national hockey league , securing a spot after graduating with the new york rangers . it was at this point that he dropped his last name and started going by his mother’s maiden name , to distance himself from his father’s legacy and create his own image of himself . thus , xavier de la fuente becomes xavier cassidy .
following his successful first year as a defense man for the rangers , the pressure started to get to him . after years of repressing his baggage , it all hit him at once and with one failed drug test , he faced suspension from twenty games . the media dragged his and his father’s name through hell , comparing the golden goalie matteo de la fuente to his prodigy son , aka , class a trainwreck xavier cassidy .
introspection *
so to sum up xavi’s personality is : he’s generally a good guy w good intentions but happens to fuck up a lot , like he’s a nice guy but he makes rly stupid decisions under pressure
also xavier has a lowkey addictive personality so he’s always chasing after toxic stuff in his life whether its people or drugs JSJHFGIUERHE
he’s been sober for like a year but can easily break that if u know what i mean xD
all around he’s fun and relaxed , doesn’t take a lot of shit too seriously like all he wants to do is have a laugh n be a dumbass y’know everyone’s resident wh*re <3
he’s lucas scott almost entirely to a t . he messes up a lot and always finds a way to victimise himself and place the blame on others , all while maintaining his “ i’m a nice guy . ” image .
similar to mckay from euphoria . he has good intentions , especially with cassie but you can see him mess up . in his heart , he’s a good guy but out in the world, when he succumbs to pressures he’s not .
goofy and doesn’t take life too seriously , especially when he finds himself in hot water . he’ll either be all broody like lucas scott or channel his chandler bing energy and just kinda’ pretend nothing is a big deal
