Power Rangers (2017) fic rec list: (UPDATED: Jan, 2024)

Hello there, as someone who loves this movie, I decided to make a list of fics that’ve read, or am about to read, to anyone who is interested:

Note: I’m only putting here fics that I’ve read. So if someone knows a fic they might want to recommend, let me know! XD  There are currently almost two thousand works on the power rangers 2017 tag on AO3, so be sure to look around and dig for stuff you might like.

NOTE: Remember to check out the author if you like their stories! Leave comments and kudos and reblog stuff you like, apreciation is always important

Illustrated Story: @theone-with-thestuff​ ‘s power rangers sequel: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5 , part 6, part 7 , part 8

MultiChapter fics (post-canon)

Rangers with Attitude by SmokeyCut : A sequel to the movie that is very in synch with the power rangers universe, both in how the story is told and how light it feels. THat doesn’t stop the drama from happening though. Awesome battle scenes and a very engaging take on Tommy, and the 2017 universe as a whole.

Power Rangers 2: Sythesis by SatanSpeaks (mature) : This fic is a piece, it’s another sequel to the movie, but with a much more bleak look on the universe as a well, however, it doesn’t dive too much into it and it has plenty of hopeful moments to spare. It’s a fic that leaves you on the edge of your seat, start to finish, biting your nails hoping everything will work out.

we gladiate but i guess we're really fighting ourselves by sunnydalehart: “The rangers don't really know what they're doing, but they really are trying their best.” -- Another post-canon fic with good romance, and team-bonding, check it out!!! (Trimberly) (Billy/ Jason/Zack)

Power Rangers 2: Rise of the Green Ranger by IzzyIniguez: Rita loses her coin, but finds a new power.  The rangers learn to be a team and meet the Tommy and Tamsin Oliver, the new (twin) kids in town. Sparks fly and tempers flare between Kim and Tommy, and Trini and Tamsin. I think this might be one of the most original takes on 2017 Tommy Oliver out there.

Short-stories:

 5 Times Jason Scott Was Protective of His Team by notawriters: Jason-centric goodness!!!!      

Zack Taylor Designated Driver Squad by iwasnthere622 : Zack didn't have the best school record. His friends help him fix that. -- This isn’t as much a sequel fic as it is a Zack sequel fic, exploring his life after becoming a ranger, and how he relates to his new friends. The chapters go through his bond with each of the rangers, and it’s an amazing piece of Zack Taylor fanfic, enriching what we already saw in the movie. One of my all time favourites!!

Been There, Done That by TaikoTurtle: The team has a bonding camping trip up on the mountains, but after a series of unfortunate events, Kimberly has to figure out how to make things right, including her feelings.

One More Ride by magimumu: (NEW!) : Uber driver Trini picks up Kim on a rainy evening. (TRIMBERLY)   (This short one is amazing! Like poetry! Can’t recommend enough!)

One-Shots:

***NEW!!!!! - (This is) Good Weird -  by Laslus -----  Poly Rangers fic!!! -  Or: The Huge Colective Denial of FeelingsThe first time Trini notices, they are around the fire. She looked at the whole picture, feeling the warmness she usually felt when hanging with them, how she finally felt like she belonged somewhere. She should focus on that, on the happiness she felt as they sang off tune, how they were a picture together. Oh.

All of the Above  by songofsunset : This short one shot is a perfetc mood setting piece, with rangers hanging out. In a few senteces, it grasps both each ranger’s personallities and the nature of their both. Sweet fluffiness all around.

Just let me love you when your heart is tired by milkyegg_carton: A cure little fluff about the aftermath of the battle with Goldar!!

walk me home by twoorangecookies: A nice little, well, it’s canon complaint but it’s sort of a missing scene, but it’s also sort of an AU where Kim asks Trini to walk her home.

Campfire Dance-Off by Skyland2704: team bonding fluffiness!

we carry each other (we’re just different colors) by hearden: This is a fascinating fic, about the rangers before being rangers! Seriously! There are so many character beats, and a very good grasp on the characters!!

am i the only living soul around by younglegends: A story told backwards,going from the aftermath of the movie to the very beginning. Again, another rich story exploring the characters and their core! An awesome read about the power rangers that really makes a point about their evolution and their bond in face of their sttrugles. I always go back to this fic for inspiration.

Do Better by iwasnthere622: One of the best jason centtric fics out there, exploring his role as leader and the way he shoulders the burden.

Dildo Wars  by cabooseachievables : I think this is one of the most fun pieces of fanwork I’ve ever read, seriously, just pure delight from start to finish as the rangers start a prank war between themselves.

**********NEW!!!!!!!!! Riding Shot Gun by zipzipnada:   --Kimberly finds out her new friends have never tried weed before, and knows for a fact Jason is a shotgun king.

Shipping Fics:

BY THE WAY, THE AUTHOR tworangecookies has plenty of Trimberly works if you’re interested, I can’t recommend enough to check them out, you’ll definetly find something for your tastes, both on AO3 and on tumblr @5ivebyfive. Another tumblr with fics in this universe is @magicmumu2

you’re my sunshine by titaniaeli: Short, fluff, and engaging, basically a tale of Jason falling in love with his team. (RANGER POLYCULE)

 in a hopeless place by twoorangecookies: (AU) This is one of my favorite fics. It’s an Outsiders AU, and I never had contact with The Outsiders, but I do love how consistent the rangers are even in an Alternative universe. This fic is well paced, and leaves tense with each cliffhanger, not to mention the forbidden romance, which is just *cheff’s kiss. (TRIMBERLY)

The Heart part 1 by The Otter Limits: While this fic is a sequel to the movie, I’m putting it here, because its main focus is the relationship between Trini and Kimberly. I really love this fic because it has a very heavy dose of Angst. I’m not sure it’s everyone’s cup of tea, but I do love the melodrama involved. Also, there is some neat world building about the rangers’ powers and the universe they live in. (TRIMBERLY)

The Hunt For Love by magicmumu: Awesome Valentine’s day Fluff, what else can you wish for? Honestly, the dialog between the characters as they go on an scavenge hunt it’s so amazing, you can’t help reading this with a smile on your face. Can’t recomment enough. (TRIMBERLY)

Fire meet gasoline by twoorangecookies: (mature) A cute little soccer AU, with that good old rivals to lovers premise. What more can I say? Go check it out!! (TRIMBERLY)

Clarity by thebrightestbird: I think this was the first time I read about this ship, and interestingly it immediately spread to be fond of it in the tv show universe as well. Great stuff!!!  (ZACK/JASON) 

with my feelings on fire (guess I'm a bad liar) by movingforthesakeofmotion: The one where a date night turns into exposed secrets and discoveries. (TRIMBERLY, CRANSCOTT)

We can have all that we ever wanted by theshipstorulethemallwrites: 5 Times Someone Thought The Rangers Were Dating and 1 Time They Were

EXPLICIT FICS:

Turning sweet love into poison by twoorangecookies: (EXPLICIT) this fic is Intense, and I really advise you to look into the tags before going in. It deals with heavy subjects like body dysmorphia, so be mindful. Now that that’s out of the way, this fic is delicious to read, two traumatize characters navigating a complex situation, it has all those spices for those who love some heavy Angst in their romance. (TRIMBERLY)

Legacy of Power by Hearden (Mature, but the collection has Explicit fics): (INCOMPLETE) .This fic is interesting because it’s sort of a nice multiverse mix between the tv show and the movie, with the simple premisse of having TV Kimberly and Tommy meeting the 2017 rangers. It’s one amazing fic, very well written with an awesome premisse and solid character work. It’s specially awesome to see two versions of Kimberly knowing and interacting with one another.

*****NEW !!!! -- Shut up and Drive -  by Twoorangecookies --  (Sort of a power rangers meet Fast and Furious, but R rated 😈)  Trini is looking forward to start her new career as a rookie cop. She isn't the best at relationships, so she goes out one night just looking for a thrill. Then she stumbles on a scene that is not her scene at all and more thrill than she asked for, and she meets a woman that is the most annoying, obnoxious woman she's ever met. A woman she wouldn't go for in a million years. At least...that's what she thinks.

PS: I have to say, it’s really interesting to go through fandoms, not only to meet how diverse people’s interpretations can be, but how rich and creative they are as well. Just the ammount of Tommy Olivers I’ve seen for the 2017 universe is stagering, not one version is the same, and that, I think, is also very precious.

Anyway, remember to comment, reblog, and all that stuff that shows authors your apreciation. Feel free to add fics you might’ve read and are not here, I’ll sure try to do so as I find new ones. I tried to categorize stuff as best as I could.

claire is very like reserved + quiet in personality but he definitely has preferences and likes about things and especially as u spend more time with him in the story it starts to show through more (or i would want it to.. #notawriter) hes just silly. he likes goth fashion but not particularly all the makeup and accessories just the clothing and his favourite colour is red and he loves bats and wolves and snakes and he doesnt even realise hes basically a cartoon character of a vampire and also he wouldnt even care if u told him "all this stuff u like is really heavily associated with vampires dont u think thats kind of funny" he would be like ok. what does that have to do with me

#BirDiaries

8th May 2019.

I decided to go to Bir because my cousin, was volunteering at Zostel. I still remember this day clearly, I reached Bir in the morning at around 8. I walked till Zostel and was waiting for my dorm room to get allocated. Lucky me, I got early check in. Dumped my luggage, took my cousin and we went to a cafe for a nice coffee. Coffee wasn’t great but the feeling of being in the mountains was just beyond great.

I love food, I live for food and Bir was going to be a tibetan food paradise for me. So, the first meal I decided to have was Thentuk with some apple beer in a small place called Norbu Ghakyil Cafe. The beef was way too chewy and a lot in quantity, I left some of it.

Evening plan was to visit Palpung Sherabling Monastery and since there was no vehicle, I was either going to walk or cycle; but instead, I joined everyone from Zostel and visited the monastery as a group. I had never cycled in the mountains before; horrible ups and downs; yet somehow I completed a 12 km route on cycle that day. It felt good. At around 6 in the evening, I stopped for a nice cup of coffee on the way back at June 16 cafe. A cafe owned by a lovely couple with nice seating, nice menu, nice ambiance. I did not have dinner that night but I did go out for some dessert at Vairagi Cafe. As I came back, I joined the group in Zostel for the game night and played some 'Killer!' https://www.instagram.com/p/B_7DMiFjz8k/?igshid=k7b2fieygqjh

My mother died when I was 14

Ever since then I’ve always felt my emotions on a different level

They’re all consuming and feel life ending

When I have a high I’m not just happy I’m ecstatic..

But when I hit my lows…

My anger envelopes me and controls everything from my words to my actions 

My sadness is a never ending well, fully supplying my tears until the abrupt end of the tsunami of feelings I have

I get overwhelmed

And then…

I feel nothing. 

Im like a blank page with the cursor flashing waiting for my emotions

But they don’t come

I cant handle them now and inside I know that so I shut off

I feel like a robot, critically thinking about and analyzing the problem or problems 

Quickly trying to come up with a solution

But when the emotions do come back the solutions don’t work

They were made with no feelings, the problem itself could be fixed but not the damage that comes with

And that is my problem

I want to let myself feel

But I’m scared of what I’ll do when I finally do feel

Hurt/Happiness

(Taking a break from my usual, drawing and listening to sad music.)

Today was the first real day I broke down and cried a very good cry. I miss you so much, man. You left way too early, but your body had enough. I don’t understand why I keep feeling like I should leave with you. I have a happy life. I just can’t see the happiness in it. Most of my days are spent wondering “Why do I even wake up?” Or the occasional disappointment of waking up, creeps into my existence. Everything I do and see is covered in a fog of hurt, or hate. I know these aren’t my ‘normal’ feelings toward life. Everything I am going through is a process of grief from the pain of losing you, but I promise you that I am trying my best.

People never understood our friendship. They couldn’t understand how we got so close to the point of basically being brothers. All we would hear is jokes about us being a couple. Something we would both laugh at; Sometimes even tease others and pretend to be. It was all just good fun and a complete misunderstanding by friends and family. Yet, we grew closer than a couple. We grew into brothers. You’ve been with me since we were children going through Kindergarten. Your mom and grandmother treat me like I am their own. I am forever grateful for everything you and your family have done for me. Now I spend my days wondering if I’ll ever have the chance to repay that kindness back. I promise you, that I am trying my best.

Early mornings and late nights are the hardest. I’m not sure why that is. Sometimes I think it’s from the days where you would still be awake from the night before. Those restless nights you’ve endured because the pain or medication wouldn’t let you rest. So you would stay awake all night, frustrated. I still remember the times you would call me early in the morning to try and wake me up, even though I sleep like a rock. Sometimes I would wake up. Other times I would just sleep in. Those types of memories bring me sadness. Only it’s the type of sadness that brings me happiness. One thing is for sure though. I wish that I can wake up one more time to your call. Just to hear your excited voice saying “Yo man! Wake up, let’s play something.” Then I can respond in my grumbled morning voice “I’m trying my best, man. I promise you I am trying my best.”

As I drive down the freeway heading home from a long day of work, I see your truck. Muscles tense and my breathing shifts. I'm there all over again. Sitting in your passenger seat with my hair down and stuck to the sweat on my neck. Is it hot in here? I remember asking myself. You were yelling again. I was numb again. At this point I was always numb around you. It felt like I was on the bottom of a swimming pool, everything you said was jumbled and I couldn't breathe. I just wanted to go home. I just wanted to go home but you'd never let me do that. I was stuck in that passenger seat. Except now I'm not. Now I'm stuck in the memories of you and I'm driving down the freeway just trying to make it home.

i shall declare that the heathers are called "the traffic lights"

Just wait until I post chapter 9 of Silver Bullet. That’s exactly what’s gonna happen.

Let them see the calmness in me, While I expand my roots & branches to grow into a wild tree.🌴 Let them think of me as the size of a pea, While I get myself ready to sting them like a bee. 🐝 Let them lock me and throw away the key, For I shall get stronger and set myself free. 🤸‍♀️ #ItIsDeep (sorry for the rhyme, 👀 #NotAPoet, #NotAWriter, Just a little girl with the spirit of a #fighter.) 💪✌🏽 #Samakonasana #Asana #Pose #StraddleSplit #StraightAngle #Splits #Straddle (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpkOluIH0Fe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2hr6d7r6ubsh

Busy mind...

I love the ocean because it's harmonious,free,lusty and flowing . Filled mystery, beauty and some heart arches. People love Gazing and raving about it's beauty. Despite being abuse by so many that constantly rave about the ocean. It still remains beautiful . One of my biggest fears is the Ocean, it intimidates me . It symbolizes the being I wish to being in this world. I wanna be harmonious, free , lusty and flowing . Despite all of my hardships ,I continue living and flowing......

Sometimes...

Life is so fricking hard sometimes... I don't know what's worse them coming back and being the same not caring person or them not coming back at all... I think I know which one is worse for me and unfortunately its not the first one... I really need to work on that.

he held her close

and wondered

what his life would be like

without her

and then he knew

the feeling his question brought

was all the answer he needed

[brokenbitchesclub]

I still listen to our songs,

My heart still remembers the way your face would light up at the sound and lyrical genius of it.

I miss those moments,

I miss calling you mine,

Come back to me.
