#gen fics

[familyofpaladins]

Saw a poll thati implied people only read fanfiction for shipping. And I KNOW that's not true. but now I'm curious to what the ratio is

Ship fics are referring to any fic that is about two or more characters and their romantic/sexual relationship, where the story revolves around that relation ship, or takes a good chunk of the story

Gen fics refer to any fic where the main plot/story is NOT focused on the romantic/sexual relationship between two or more characters (gen fics can include ships, like if there is an established relation ship, but the fic is not focused on the ship)

The main point though is, do you go looking for ships, or other reasons

#To me it seems like a lot of people read for gen #But I'm also in a circle/corner of tumblr that is very aroace in some aspect and writes/reads gen stuff #So my viewpoint is a little skewed #So let's see what people actually read for! #Polls #Fanfiction #Ship fics #Gen fics

[space-blue]

Writing a fanfic about Tim and Jason's complex relationship because I got salty about people liking either one or the other of them and decided, well, if no one is going to be understanding of both of our boys, then I'm damn well gonna do it myself.

#tim drake #jason todd #gen fics #yeh it's gonna be multichapter... #I already have four chapters written. no clue how long this is gonna get. but I do know the whole plot.

If you want to make sure you never miss a FF rec, or would like to participate and share your own favourites; join us on the Discord TheMerlinLibrary! Happy reading!

About the FF round-up lists:

Recs are listed in the order they were posted on the Discord; the order does not imply any sort of ranking.

The pairing given in this list is the main pairing of each respective fic – please read the tags for any possible minor or side-pairings, as well as any potential warnings or triggers.

Pairings and Eras are given as tagged in each respective fic. (?) signifies that the tags were unclear and I do not know enough about the fic to fill the gaps.

Round-ups are compiled on the weekend of the week after the respective theme of the post (when the new theme has already been anounced), to avoid omitting potentially belated FF recs.

Since I am running FF alone, it is not always possible for me to have the round-up list up immediately – please be patient.

The weekly round-up is not a guarantee! Again, I'm running this alone, so it can only be posted for weeks when I have enough time on my hands to compile a list. If you'd like to help out, feel free to contact me on Tumblr ( @zaharya ) or Discord.

pokemon anime fanfic rec list !!

hii!! i’ve compiled some of my favourite pokeani ao3 fanfics to create this rec list. i hope that this is helpful, enjoy!! ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

be careful, and always check tags/warnings before reading!!

this is loosely made in order of my favourite to my least, though all of these are spectacular. other than that, there isn't any particular order to this.

(moon phases are used to represent partial star ratings!!)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You Can Always Count On Me by driftveil (G) 7,281 words, 4/4 chapters [no ships] --- Ash has a soft spot for the bruised and the broken. When he says "I choose you," he means it for life. (Brock doesn't understand it at all — until, one day, he does.)

i'm a HUGE sucker for fics focused on ash's relationship with his pokemon. i am also a sucker for fics that kind of focus on brock and ash's brotherly-dynamic. i absolutely adore this fic, dear gosh, it's just a combination of all my favourite pokeani fic aspects in one!! basically, this is a character study fic from brock's perspective as he watches ash taking care of his abused/traumatized fire pokemon.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Promises by CGJ (NR) 3,940 words [no ships] --- Ash leaves on a journey, and each time he comes back different. Brock watches, and waits.

this fic is absolutely beautiful!! this fic is very warm and fuzzy, but also quite angsty and sad, sort of hurt/comfort i guess?? but not exactly. features brock pov, along with brock and ash's brotherly dynamic again!! brock's guilt(?) over not being able to protect ash is written spectacularly. i hold this fic to the highest regard, definitely give this one a chance!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amor Pietasque by driftveil (T) 2,716 words [no ships] --- Froakie’s looking for more than just a trainer. It’s a shame, then, that Kalosian children make such terrible partners.

this potrayal of froakie is absoluely spectacular, and it is exactly how i imagine it. the backstory for froakie in this makes so much sense, and is written beautifully. froakie's feelings are written so amazingly, i swear. the moment froakie met ash?! absolutely perfect. this fic is flawless, please read it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐🌗 A Professor and a Student by LeDiz (G) 136,026 words, 23/23 chapters [no ships] --- Ash seemed determined to stay in Alola, and Kukui had a loft going to waste. He'd boarded students before; he didn't expect anything special out of the experience. As it turns out, Ash isn't the only one who's going to be learning a lot this year. Snippets and fragments of life during Ash's stay in Alola.

i'm almost positive absolutely everyone in the pokeani fandom has read this one already, but just in case you haven't, please read this. it's a spectacular potrayal of ash from kukui's perspective, and it's written amazingly. a good amount of just general fragments, and plot. it's always so interesting to see how people/character's view ash, especially when the character is unaware of ash's previous journeys.

and thus the earth by imaginaryinspiration (T) 1,997 words [no ships] --- Olivia leaned over the table, an unreadable smile on her face, and her eyes flicked to Ash. And the words she said next— well, they put him on very high alert. “I heard that it’s not just a story. During that time, there were sightings of all four legendaries,” she said. “They were fighting all throughout the storm!” In other words, Olivia picks up on some things Ash wished she didn't on their visit to Akala. Everyone else is just confused.

this fic is based off of a moment in the fic mentioned above this (A Professor and a Student by LeDiz), but it's absolutely amazing. it's a further look into what might've happened if my favourite scene in that fic had gone on a bit longer.

⭐⭐⭐⭐🌘 The 48: Pokemon by LeDiz (T) 359,963 words, 15/? works [a bit of prof.burnet/prof.kukui]

this is a really great series with a whole bunch of great character studies and oneshots. mainly just a bunch of one chapter fics, with a few multichapters. great potrayals of all the characters, and it expertly explores some of the best and most interesting apsects of the pokeani. my personal favs are The Wallet, As long as no one asks, Left Behind, and Nice job, but all of them are absolutely spectacular!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ in the light of the moon by imaginaryinspiration (T) 995 words [no ships] --- Pikachu wants to form a truce, just for one night. Meowth decides it's worth it, once he hears the reason. or: an electric rat and criminal cat put aside their differences to teach a death-defying ten-year-old how to say f ck.

(the f ck in't censored in the fic, nor in the actually summary, i was the one who did that for this post.) amazing. beautiful. exquisite. perfect in every way. exactly what i needed in life. okay, okay, jokes aside, this is very much a crack fic. this is incredibly funny, and exactly what you need after reading a whole bunch of angst, assuming you read all the recs above.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ together is better than apart by imaginaryinspiration (T) 8,670 words, 4 works [a little satosere] --- Ash loves saving the world, he really does, but sometimes it's too much. Sometimes, afterwards, he needs a little more support than he's used to.

a super nice and sweet series. focuses on ash's relationship with each of his kalos companions, and it's honestly just very nice. it does have satosere in the second work, but it can definitely be skipped if you're not a fan of that.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Caught, catching by grainjew (G) 1,470 words [no ships] --- Coda to Best Wishes episode 7, “Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!” Soon after her capture, Ash and Snivy sit down for a sunrise conversation about trainers and the having thereof.

such a spectacular potrayal of snivy, and i adore her and ash's bond throughout this fic. snivy's skepticism is written wonderfully. this is just a really cool fic!!

⭐⭐⭐🌖 put your arms around me by kopycat_101 (G) 1,255 words [no ships] --- Ash ponders about his journeys, the friendships he made during said journeys, and the unique way that everyone has hugged him.(Essentially, a fluffy fic full of headcanons plus Ash love and appreciation.)

gahhhhh!! this is so sweet and nostalgic; this fic is simply full of fluff, and i love it. the kinds of hugs each character gives fits them so well, and honestly, ash deserves all the hugs in the world. the only reason this isn't 4 stars is 'cause the way they write 'prof.' instead of 'professor,' annoys me a bit, which is just me being a little prick.

⭐⭐⭐🌖 Aspects of Ash by caspiiann (T) 5,201 words, 6/? chapters [no ships] --- A collection of episodic styled oneshots, depicting different AUs of Ash <3 Chapters do not follow one coordinated plot

just a bunch of really great oneshots, that as the title suggests, are about the "aspects of ash." it's got both crack-y oneshots, and more serious ones. some of the chapters are really great deepdives into ash's character, and those chapters are written spectacularly.

⭐⭐⭐🌗 What it's worth by CGJ (NR) 1,776 words [satogou] --- And he wonders, is this how he made everyone else feel? Is this how mama felt everyday, as he went on a journey and left her waiting? How his pokemon felt, unable to do anything but stay at a lab waiting for him to come back? Goh is leaving on his new journey, and Ash realizes a few things.

ash realizing how everyone else felt when he himself left them behind for a new journey is written spectacularly. how different goh is to all of ash's other friends is potrayed quite nicely, and this is just generally a nicely written fic!!!

⭐⭐⭐🌗 Sparkly Things by grainjew (G) 1,458 words [no ships in tags, but the fic has a bit of satosere] --- Coda to XY episode 64, "Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!" After nightfall, Ash and Serena discuss Serena's double battle with the mysterious pokemon performer who was definitely not Kalos Queen Aria. Also, Contests.

i adore the kalos gang so much. this fic is very nice, and i love ash mentioning contests,,, it isn't often that he talks about his past adventures/things he's directly learnt from them, so seeing fics about it is always a treat. also, i loved the end note so much!! i, too, am a firm believer that serena and clemont would rant to each other about how much they liked ash.

⭐⭐⭐🌘 Static (Ability) by grainjew (G) 3,357 [no ships] --- Five times Ash Ketchum is ten years old.

ash can't age. that's it. that's the fic. anways, it's good!! ash doesn't believe in aging, nor does he physically age, so it's sorta funny.

i hope that you find these fics are just as amazing as i think they are. feel free to give some of your own recs!! maybe i'll continue this post in the future??

anyways, hope this was helpful!! o(*￣︶￣*)o

(this post was edited on 1/7/2023 in order to remove (accidental) negative comments i made about the pokeani writing community as a whole. it was not my intention to hurt anyone, and i sincerely apologise to anyone who was hurt by my ignorant and careless comments.)

[sotwk]

Do you write for platonic? (I mostly write platonic on my blog I feel comfortable with platonic)

Hello my new friend!

Yes, I do write platonic fics, although they are probably more accurately described as "familial", since they're stories about the relationships between family members. My Thranduil/Legolas fics and headcanons especially feature relationships between Thranduil and his sons and Legolas and his brothers (original characters).

I hope to write many more platonic "gen" fics in the future, because they're very dear to my heart! I'm glad you're able to write what's comfortable and enjoyable for you as well. Thank you for the Ask!

Sindy’s Underrated Spider-Man Fic Recs 1/2

All fics on this list are completed unless stated otherwise :D

Contains comic fic recs (616 and 1610), Spider-Verse, Insomniac-Verse, TASM, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, Spectacular Spider-Man, and Ultimate Spider-Man (2012)

95% of these fics are underrated, there might be one or two popular ones that snuck in haha

Family

Some of these have ships, but the romance takes second seat to the familial bonds 😀

Spiderbros + Teresa

frame the halves and call them brothers - Traincat - Spider-Man (Comicverse) [Archive of Our Own]

This fic doesn’t have Peter in it, but it has Kaine, Janine, Ben (Reilly) and BABY REILLY TYNE who’s the most adorable bean ever, so I’m morally obligated to include it on the list. Seriously. Traincat is awesome, and their Spideytorch characterization is on point.

Carry You Home - Crewe - Spider-Man (Comicverse) [Archive of Our Own]

Honestly, blanket fic for literally everything written by Crewe. “Peter, desperate for a way to get Ben back to his old self in the wake of the Chasm fiasco, calls in a reluctant Kaine - and less reluctant Aracely - to help. Luckily, they might be just the thing he needs.” This is the clone bros fix-it fic that we all need. Marvel, I hope you’re taking lessons.

The Transitive Property - Crewe - Spider-Man (Comicverse) [Archive of Our Own]

AKA Teresa and Kaine bonding over Peter’s idiocy, and also taking down a weapons ring.

Insomniac

The Only Cat Who Knows Where It's At - Traincat - Spider-Man (Video Game 2018) [Archive of Our Own]

Insomniac peterfel! “Three generations of Hardys show up at Peter's window,” this is the peterfel kid fic you’ve all subconsciously wanted to read after finishing the Heist DLC. Baby Walter is so cute. I think I just have a thing for adorable spider-powered children, probably.

these days of dust - momentofmemory - Spider-Man - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

Be prepared to have a bucket on hand so you can cry your heart out. Insomniac May reflecting on the fact she KNOWS Peter is Spider-Man.

two weeks away, feels like the whole world should have changed (but i'm home now) - TheSoulOfAStrawberry - Spider-Man - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

Insomniac-verse. Miles is grieving for Phin, and Peter is there to lend a shoulder, knowing all too well the perils of loved ones getting involved in vigilantism, still grieving for May himself.

Miscellaneous

The Long, Dark Pizza Slice of the Soul - Chapter 1 - thelastfrenchfry (automateddetour) - Multifandom [Archive of Our Own]

This one’s a double whammy: we got a combo of movie AND comic Spider-Verse! Insight into how Peter and MJ might have gotten back together; the interactions and romance are so lovely. Also, Gayle (MJ’s sister) is here, and I love her.

and desolation comes upon the sky - milknova - Fantastic Four (Comicverse) [Archive of Our Own]

If you love angst, this is for you. Sue Storm centric, reflecting on Johnny’s death, showing how Peter grieves for a relationship that barely had time to begin.

Gen

Initiation Rites - yellow_caballero - X-Men - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

This is genuinely one of the funniest fics I’ve ever read. Seriously. We have the comedic Peter Parker-Kitty Pryde friendship. The summary is literally “Peter and Kitty just wanted to get wasted on vodka and pass out in order to deal with the holiday stress. But when Peter ends up having to assimilate into the X-Men household to escape the red-tinted glasses of the law, it becomes increasingly difficult to leave. Or, Peter and Kitty accidentally get drunk, get adopted, get panicked, and get in trouble.”

The Spaces We Share - natcat5 - Spider-Man (Ultimateverse) [Archive of Our Own]

Ult-comic verse! Basically, Peter going from an only child to having a girlfriend and four asshole pseudo-siblings.

Spider’s Out of the Bag - ShimmeringBubble (orphan_account) - Spider-Man (Video Games 2018-2020) [Archive of Our Own]

Insomniac! Miles starts purring and freaks out. Luckily, Peter is there to explain that no, it’s not that weird, and yes, he can do it too. Fluff will give you cavities.

Respectability, Politics - brawltogethernow - Multifandom [Archive of Our Own]

This one isn’t completely underrated, but it’s probably in my top three favourite Spider-Man fanfictions, so I have to include it here. Basically, just JJJ screaming his ass off at mutant phobic bigots while Betty, Peter, and Robbie silently die laughing in the corner.

investigative journalism - Chapter 1 - LostOnMyRoad - Spider-Man - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

Another Daily Bugle fic! Peter is not fooling anyone around here, least of all Betty Brant.

Red Threads and Corkboards - Anonymous - Ultimate Spider-Man (Cartoon 2012) [Archive of Our Own]

This one is set in the timeline of the Ult cartoon. Listen, I know the fandom collectively dumps on this cartoon, but it does have its moments. This fanfic features MJ, Harry and Flash having the right idea about Peter’s perpetual lying, but the wrong conclusion.

message me if you have any more fics you'd like to see recommended (part two is coming with more shippy fills) and show these authors some love!!

tagged by @yourmadnesswon <3 <3

Chrysalis

The thin, jagged crack of light hovers undulating in the air in a beckoning dance, promising sanctuary on the other side. 

Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc

Sam waits, kneeling, for his execution.

He watches Dean pull the scythe back for the fatal strike and closes his eyes, half out of dread, half out of mercy.

Make All of My Nightmares Come True

Kearney, Missouri is miles behind them, and a chasm still fills the space between Dean, behind the wheel, and Sam, pretending to try to sleep on the passenger side. Sam is supposed to be getting some shut-eye so he can take over driving in a few hours, but he’s still wound up and sleep won’t come despite the soft rock Dean put on.

Your own brother trying to kill you will do that.

Threshold

He’s standing at the threshold, but he can’t quite seem to make himself go any further. The double doors in front of him challenge him, judging, questioning, repudiating his worthiness. It’s difficult to find the will within himself to move forward, but going back is not an option. Not anymore.

Enemy Within

Bobby and Sam pull into the drive that leads to the burned-out shell that was once Bobby’s home. The place where Sam and Dean could once turn to when they needed to regroup and lick their wounds. The place that once was the only occasional island of stability Sam knew other than the Impala.

With ice cold hands takin’ hold of me

“I think you’ll want to see this for yourself.”

He doesn’t, as a rule, concern Himself with individuals; they are not in and of themselves important to the whole of the species. They are molecules of water compared to the tide, necessary, providing a medium to shape a pattern, but one more or less has little impact in the grander scheme.

Taking Care of Business

He’s just settled in with a glass of Craig and The Drama of the Gifted Child when the King of Hell is interrupted by the irritating sound of a throat being cleared. He shuts his eyes and pushes aside the urge to disintegrate the offender. There is a delicate balance between instilling the correct level of fear and retaining enough staff to run a functioning court.

Penny for your Thoughts

In retrospect, Garth should’ve known better. 20-20 hindsight is a harsh mistress.

He should’ve known that the automatic fight-or-flight reaction causes muscles to tense, not relax. He should’ve stepped in front of Dean again, blocked his line of fire. He should’ve made sure that the gun was pointed away from Sam before he threw the punch.

Convergence

Bright dim bright dim bright dim

We need bait that fits the demo… Chain around neck choking… I don’t think I want it back…

Filet of Soul

Sam glances across the Impala to the passenger seat to Dean, who has finally conked out, leaving Sam alone with his thoughts in the aftermath of nearly losing him to an Amazon.

“Now isn’t that ironic. And here you thought we were the unstable one.”

Almost alone.

In walks this thirty-something Jedi-looking motherfucker, in robes with some small amount of armor, the second-most ridiculously Core accent you’ve ever heard outside a holo screen, and two kids who look ready to bite someone. The human one is twelve-ish and angry and wearing clothes that are too big for him, and has a lightsaber that he can’t really wrap his entire hand around. The Togruta looks about eight, and is chomping her way through a freshly killed, still bleeding lizard the size of her arm. She is clinging to the human kid’s tunics, and looking around like she’s got no fear whatsoever. You're almost impressed.

💫  Knightrise by deviantaccumulation Review: I think I’ve reread this like four times. There’s so much going on in this ‘verse where we get into the heads of the survivors of a genocide, of Vader, and the bonds between all.

💫 a comedy in four acts by jesuisdeux Review: There isn’t another fic out there that captures this kind of prose, at least not one that I’ve found. It’s funny and definitely written by some English major out there who was like: what if we had not-gonna-take-your-shit Master Obi-Wan and living-to-spite-the-world Grandpa Dooku deciding to change the plot.  Words: 17,263. Chapters: 4/4

Yoda tries to comfort Padawan Kenobi about Melida/Daan, he just doesn't know that Obi-Wan takes his words for, uh, a particular Clone War. Nor does he know he is actually 57.

undeserving fall (this kind of sunlit love) by loosingletters Review: I’m putting this FIRST - Turn-Off: Luke/Palpatine. Yes, you read this crack right. This is crack treated seriously.

It is a road paved with military campaigns, media faux pas, too many OCs to name, good Jedi, and a very very slowly developed angst that will eventually come to a boil. An exploration of war and friendship, and the moral grays of the Star Wars universe.

Visions in Red by likethesoda Review: So, imagine if jedi and clones recall the canon future-that-would-be. I wasn’t sure to put/categorize this as it’s technically time travel but the memories time travelled, not the person? Anywho. It’s amazing to see how people react to Anakin, how Anakin reacts, and though horrifying, this is also comforting? That they are all alive, and can maybe, possibly, do something. Work in progress, as of 06 June 2022.  Words: 16,546. Chapters: 6/?

The Jedi suffer a mass vision, one of death and horror. One of the end of the Order and the Republic. In order to prevent this and save their family, in order to plan, they run to far corners of the galaxy. They lock down as hard as they possibly can. It allows them to truly reflect, for the first time in decades.

💫 Birds Fly in Different Directions by Triscribe Review: One by one, jedi recall their deaths in the future. Yes. YES. Complete, as of 15 Dec 2022. Words: 14,666. Chapters: 3/3

In the corridor beyond her quarters, other Jedi were emerging from their own doors, most of them wide-eyed with shock. A few merely looked blearily concerned, and Aayla heard snatches of questions as she darted past, queries as to whether everyone experienced the same distressing vision. But those who clutched at their chests or throats, their weak points- those Jedi bore a muted horror in their eyes, and Aayla didn’t doubt they’d just suffered their own betrayals from trusted men.

desecrate my lungs by loosingletters Review: Let’s have Vaderkin wake up in the body of General Skywalker, and he forgets to breathe, because he’s been in a suit for two decades. Work in progress, as of 12 Dec 2020. Words: 16,050. Chapters: 8/?

Anakin Skywalker died in his son’s arms on the Death Star. He woke up again in the middle of a battlefield during the Clone Wars, choking because he forgot how to breathe without a machine forcing air in his lungs, unable to stand because he hadn’t been standing on his own legs for two decades.

a distant fire is burning by e_va Review: Cal Kestis travels back in time and ends up in his 10-year-old body, sent off to be Obi-Wan Kenobi’s padawan, and everyone deals with the consequences. I love the perspective,   the video-game-esque aesthetic, and I want to see more of the changes in dynamics with this new addition to the dysfunctional Jedi lineage! Work in progress, as of 23 Jan 2023. Words: 40,214. Chapters: 7/?

Cal's "time travel" ability has its roots in me joking with a friend about how the game could have canonized the Meditation Points/death respawns in the game (the way they did with the Force Echoes being used as an excuse for worldbuilding.) Don't expect it to be wildly OP or get spammed; it's just a game mechanic that spawned this idea and will be used with reserve.

They Don't Care About Us by ironhoshi Review: Here is another Cal-centric fic! With an added time traveller: Boba Fett! Imagine if these two interrupted Obi-Wan’s meeting with Jango at Kamino, and ended up causing much confusion and interesting changes to the world? Work in progress, as of 27 Feb 2022. Words: 62,215.

Cal doesn’t know how he ended up back in the Clone Wars. Last he’d checked, time travel isn’t possible, but then, what would he know? He’d only been a Padawan for eight months before Order 66 had gone out.

To Fix the Shattered Past by Forever_A_Thief Review: Throw Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ahsoka from the Clone Wars into child bodies during Melida-Daan, and stir. I love the Grandpa Dooku vibes here.

Stop All The Clocks by Panda_2703 Review: This fic has Obi-Wan thrown into the body of his General body, and he attempts, through his trauma of dying four years into his exile on Tatooine, to save whoever he can 8 months before the end of the Republic.

They are Anakin and Obi-Wan. They are Darth Vader and Ben Kenobi. It doesn't matter. Names mean nothing. Not for them. They should be enemies. They are a Jedi Master and a Sith Lord. And yet... nothing can truly keep them apart.

Fate Gives Second Chances by The_subtle_briar Review: Ben is not of sound mind when he wakes up in the past, and it’s understandable that years of trauma and in exile would make him think this all a sham at the beginning.

Then, "why am I still humoring you about this?" "Well," Kaeya says, "you see, it's because Mondstadt's Archon is the only one of the seven that gets stronger in a war."

Kaeya, the eighth nation, and the seven archons of teyvat.

venti is only mentioned, but i think this fic is really interesting in its view of venti and what it means to be the god of freedom. i love fics that view the gods as gods and this fic does this perfectly

“It’s the first time I can see them,” Kaeya says in a quiet, almost sheepish voice. “See what?” Venti answers. “There’s not much to see in this darkness.” The boy shakes his head. “That’s the point.” He raises his gaze up to the sky and tension drains from his shoulders. “The stars, they’re so beautiful.”

An Archon meets a spy. Or: Kaeya and Venti over the years and how two rightful enemies kindle a friendship over shared secrets.

absolutely love the relationship exlored between kaeya and venti. i love the tension that comes from kaeya's backstory, and the regret venti so obviously feels from what happened in khaenri'ah. delicious stuff

Venti and Zhongli, and the vignettes of a much-needed vacation around Mondstadt.

venti and zhongli's relationship is so interesting and it is explored v well in this fic. two immortals travelling together and talking around Sad Emotions

that's all I have for now, but i hope u enjoy them. if u have any other gen venti fics pls send them to me!!! i am hungry for food always and forever

Hello, do you have any favorite Snape ships? And if yes, which are they?

Naw not for me, at least not with any character we already know, he really really needs to get out of his usual environment and meet new people. 

I can read about most ships if it’s well written however, gen fics just tend to be rarer so if a fic reading mood strikes I can dive into ships

But for the love of everything holy please move out of Britain and don’t look back dear Snape

Hello, have you read the fic Return of Superman by kummibear? It's basically an Endeavor redemption fic au taking place before Endeavor starts training Shouto but bc of ranking fall he is forced to do reality show of his family. Full of cute todo siblings shenanigans, shoto becoming childhood friends with bkg and dk, an uneasy path of reconciliation of touya and enji & rei and enji, but most importantly many cute bby shouto

Hi - no I haven't read this fic though I have heard it's good.

I usually have a hard time with Todoroki family AU's because his family background defines Shouto so much. I'm also just not that into "kid Shouto" fics - unless it's set in canon or has implications to his older self.
