F1 FANFICS REC LIST - AU but one of them is still a driver

Halo (7365 words) by belowfreezing Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Relationships: Charles Leclerc/Max Verstappen Summary: "We have the halo system. It was a turning point for reducing head and neck injuries." What a fitting name, Max thought, as he envisioned a glowing ring above Charles's head. OR Max is a MotoGP rider and Charles is a Formula 1 driver. They fall in love.

oOoOoOo

Somewhere in Monaco (2121 words) by youknowmyname Rating: General Audiences Relationships: Charles Leclerc/Max Verstappen Summary: Max Verstappen is a driver for Oracle Red Bull Racing, and Charles Verstappen is the prince of Monaco. Somehow, and somewhere, their paths cross.

oOoOoOo

chronically bitchless but still wifed up (8361 words) by leafmeal0ne Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Relationships: Lando Norris/Oscar Piastri Summary: Lando wasn’t above throwing his weight around in order to get what he wanted, at least in some circumstances. And he wanted to meet Oscar Piastri. In general, he wanted to go to a MotoGP weekend and probably could have either bought tickets and waited around there like a normal person or asked one of his actual sort-of friends in the paddock to hang out in their garage, but the more specific desire was to meet Oscar Piastri.

oOoOoOo

see you again (99005 words) by madlyiephasetwo Rating: Explicit Relationships: Lando Norris/Carlos Sainz Jr, Background George Russel/Alex Albon, Even more background Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen Summary: The young man was handing over the bronze trophy to Charles and Carlos knew he had to be someone famous or important to present trophies at Silverstone but Carlos couldn’t quite put a finger on it, couldn’t place where he had seen his face before, even though there seemed to be something vaguely familiar about it. Lando is fourth in line to the British throne. Carlos is still a Formula 1 driver.

oOoOoOo

Loud And Clear Baby (3782 words) by cxrnlia Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Relationships: Lando Norris/Oscar Piastri Summary: Lando gets a new mechanic, who turns out to be a very young, attractive Australian. His accent for starters doesn’t even irritate Lando. Yeah he’s done for.

oOoOoOo

Fair Winds And Following Seas (7127 words) by NovaCloud Rating: Mature Relationships: Charles Leclerc/Max Verstappen Summary: Max lets out an impatient sigh and looks at Lando as he washes the shot glass before putting it back. “Well who is it?”

Lando rolls his eyes. “You’re no fun.”

“I’m delightful, now come on,” Max presses, trying not to show he’s getting curious. “Who is this mystery person?”

“Charles Leclerc!” Lando says with a bright smile, he’s almost jumping up and down with excitement. “He’s chartering the yacht for the week!”

“Charles Leclerc?” Max repeats, raising an eyebrow. “The Charles Leclerc, F1 driver for Ferrari, is here?”

Max works on a super yacht during the summer to make some money to invest in his sim racing career and Charles happens to charter it for the week.

oOoOoOo

You're by the side of the road (5544 words) by szerelem Rating: General Audiences Relationships: Lando Norris/Oscar Piastri, Oscar Piastri & Daniel Ricciardo Summary: Quadrant ☑️ @Quadrant • 30 June We are delighted to announce that Quadrant got invited to the British Grand Prix as McLaren’s guest! We couldn’t be more thankful to the team! See you guys there. @McLarenF1 💭 91 🔁 8K ❤ 29K 📶 981,712 | | McLaren ☑️ @McLarenF1 • 30 June 👀 Can’t wait to see you guys in the garage! 💭 28 🔁 5K ❤ 27K 📶 781,693

oOoOoOo

Drawn Together (4907 words) by Place2b Rating: General Audiences Relationships: Alexander Albon/George Russell Summary: George Russell was a proper omega. He was tall and slim and spoke with a crisp, smooth voice that left everyone waiting to see what he would say next. He moved with elegance and grace, never stumbling or tripping over his own two feet. Alexander Albon was not a proper alpha. He was soft spoken, afraid to use his voice. He never stood to his full height, too scared to intimidate those around him. He had a goofy face with teeth way too big for his mouth. But maybe together, they would be perfect

oOoOoOo

all green lights (22685 words) by venerat Rating: Explicit Relationships: Alexander Albon/George Russell Summary: Sorry mate I think you've got the wrong number

oOoOoOo

Racing Hearts (18944 words) by szerelem Rating: General Audiences Relationships: Alexander Albon/George Russell, Alexander Albon & Lando Norris & George Russell, Alexander Albon & Lando Norris, Lando Norris & George Russell, George Russell & Mick Schumacher, Alexander Albon & Mick Schumacher Summary: Leah @papayaboyzz • 20 February okay yall I just read alex albon’s interview w variety cuz my whole timeline is talking abt him, and am I tripping or was he talking abt george fucking russell? @gr63femfanboy you are the george expert 162 replies | 89 retweets | 4K likes leo @gr63femfanboy • 20 February after my dear friend Leah (@papayaboyzz) drew my attention to this (https://variety.com/2024/music/alex-albon-racing-hearts-23630123) interview with alex albon who is an amazing musical artist, I dug a little and this is what I found (a thread) 1 reply | 6K retweets | 16K likes OR Alex Albon is a singer who just released his first album and George Russell is still a Formula 1 driver. What happens when people begin linking the dots between the two of them?

oOoOoOo

all I do is try, try, try (13305 words) by mercutiovibes Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Relationships: Alexander Albon/George Russell Summary: Alex is first in line to the throne, George is still a Formula 1 driver.

I think you’ve mentioned ao3 before. Do you have any favourites you’d like to share?

Hmmm I’m happy to share some of my favorites, but they’re kind of all over the place in terms of fandom. If anyone wants recs for specific fandoms feel free to ask but I don’t consider myself an expert on any specific one.

Completed fics that I’ve bookmarked because I like rereading them

Whiskey Old Fashioned Sour by @bluejayblueskies (Malevolent, separate bodies modern au, Jarthur, Aro Arthur) I experienced shrimp emotions while reading this fic it’s so sweet but also the tension is SO high. I’m not going to include summaries here because you can just click the link and read the blurb but truly malevolent fic of all time.

Something’s Wrong with Danny Fenton by perfectly_inconspicuous (Danny Phantom, no one knows au, horror vibes) listen to me. You don’t need to be that into Danny Phantom to read this fic it’s just good. It’s also pretty short but there’s some small bonus content after you finish it which is fun.

Ok this last one is a little embarrassing but honestly it’s been a comfort fic for me since I was in high school lol

Yesterday Upon the Stair by PitViperofDoom (BNHA, Deku has a quirk, Aro relationships abound) listen. Listen. I haven’t really cared about bnha since I was 17/18 but a good fic is a good fic and I fucking love ghosts ok. Also good characterization.

Ongoing fics that I’m currently enjoying

Call it Even by abbysue, okayanna (Miraculous Ladybug, enemies AND lovers au-Adrinette dating Ladynoir trying to kill each other it’s fun) ok so I don’t typically go looking for ml fanfic but I’ve followed @/anna-scribbles for a while who started posting this fic with additional art and I’m completely hooked.

Things That Bleed by artistfingers, kkachis, perfectly_inconspicuous (Danny Phantom scp au, crossover with Alex Rider) listen I don’t know who this little British kid is but I am really enjoying this one. Love me some unsettling Danny.

Something Greater 2 by busket (botw/totk, Link/OC) ok so in sharing this one I’m actually recommending you go back and read Something Greater (the first one), it’s another comfort fic for me, it’s about a yiga clan member who very accidentally falls in love with Link and defects from the clan so he can learn to be his own person (if you know me you can see why this is exactly my thing). The sequel has been pretty fun so far too! Also there’s a bunch of art on Busket’s blog relating to the fic and the characters so that’s fun.

#Im just sharing 3 in each group for now otherwise this post would get way too long #I’m only tagging Jay because I know them I’m too scared to tag writers/artists I don’t know personally #but yeah read wofs or die by my sword #ask #anon #recommendations

Hi! Welcome to the stupid zone! You can call me Kat, K, or Blue, any pronouns please! I love to interact with people and my DMs and askbox are always open.

I am an avid fanfic reader and an incredible multishipper, so if there's a ship, I've probably read fic for it. I do fic recs as well, and I've been in just about every big fandom on this site, so feel free to ask!

The best fics I've ever read:

Current fandoms: Homestuck, Alex Rider, Our Life: Beginning and Always, Yugioh of all varieties, Percy Jackson

OlyaNeverWrites

Many, many authors - both of fanfic and published works - have one genre where they tend to channel their skill. Today’s recommendation is for an author who defies genre limitations, and yet consistently publishes excellent works.

OlyaNeverWrites has been writing AR fanfic for just over a year now, and in that short time, she’s given us over 20 stories and 230k words. Some of her stories are (more than slightly) crack-y in the best way, with those stories allowing her natural wit to shine through, and yet others are sincere portrayals of human emotion. Some are both.

Below the cut are just a few stories we would recommend, but as with all the authors featured on this blog, we would heavily encourage visiting her profile to see if anything else strikes your interest. Alex and Yassen feature strongly.

(And, for the faint of heart, take note that you will never have to suffer an unhappy ending if Olya is writing a fic. This is most definitely not an indication to expect less heartache…but know that it will be - at least mostly - fixed by the end.) AO3 profile: https://archiveofourown.org/users/OlyaNeverWrites/works

The Best of Times is Now: Basically, all-you-can-eat fluff. A John-and-Helen-live AU, where Yassen turns up on the doorstep of their new home in the south of France. Apart from just giving us the happy squeals, we adore this for treating Helen like an actual person and the realistic portrayal of John and Yassen (Olya’s sensitivity for character is one of her real strengths). We also love it for its sequel, Song on the Sand, which features even more tooth-rotting fluff, but in a way that’s, again, believable and not silly.

Untitled Alexgoose Game: This was the winner of Spyfest 2021 Week 3, and deservedly so. We said Olya does crack like the best, and we weren’t lying. She has an unparalleled ability to grasp onto the outstandingly ridiculous and make it funny rather than simply eye-rolling. Featuring Alex having been turned into a goose, and making the most of it to cause chaos. Even the first line of the summary had us cackling: “Some are born geese, some achieve goosedom, and some have goosedom thrust upon them. Perhaps by a rogue curse from a misappropriated Baba Yaya’s spell book.” - Twelfth Night, 3.4, William Shakespeare.

When a Ring’s Around a Moon: ‘Believable and not silly’ we said of our fluff rec above, but this fic deserves a mention for being both. Every fandom needs a Fairy AU and we’re lucky that Olya is writing this one. And we’re even luckier to discover, fairly early on, that one of the fairies in question is none other than hardened-killer Yassen Gregorovich. Yes, you read that right. Despite what may seem an outlandish concept, the attention to detail, sheer imagination and originality that has been poured into this fic makes it a stand-out in the fandom. We guess this is properly called ‘Crack Taken Seriously’ but we love it for both managing to make us grin and having a compelling story to go with it.

Pulse of the Lethe: If there was any doubt given the above recs that Olya is incapable of writing heavyweight emotion and of punching you in the gut, this fic removes it. This is angst done in the very best sense - not gratuitously, but in that ‘rip out your heart, stomp on it, and gradually nurse it back to health’ sort of way. The feelings are gorgeous, and it showcases the strength of Olya’s writing at its very best. In total, it’s a beautiful follow-up to Lil_Lupin’s story Among the Lotus. Note that it does feature a Yassen/(adult) Alex pairing, and is rated E.

We reiterate that there’s SO MUCH MORE in Olya’s works collection than the above. She’s written a few fics in collaboration with cthulhu_is_chaotic_good which, like the above, range in genre (check out, for another dose of crack, r/AmItheAsshole: Am I the Asshole for Saving a Child’s Life?). We loved Beyond the Fragments - an ultra-rare genderbent Yalex AU (actually, this is the only fic we are aware of where both Yassen and Alex are female, and it’s done SO well). And we can’t leave without mentioning What We May Be - an in-progress, serious work featuring de-aged Yassen; it’s still in early stages but the writing and plotting so far are top-tier.

Yayyyy ask game! E (Retribution), M, S, V

Thank you for the asks, Olyabun! E: If you wrote a sequel to Retribution, what would it be about?

Once you cut through the whump fest, Retribution is half about Yassen's past catching up with him, and half about him admitting to himself how much he cares about Alex. I don't know how much interest I have in pushing the latter point any further than I go in Retribution: something I think Devil does really, really well is showing that Yassen does care about Alex, but he definitely has his own way of showing it and doesn't suddenly become all soft and not like the Yassen we know. Accordingly, Retribution is about the limit of what I would want to show of Yassen's softer side in that verse, I think. So if I did a sequel, I think it would be exploring the relationship between Yassen and Alex in the reverse - Alex's past catching up with him, how that might affect Yassen, and Alex realising how much Yassen means to him. Though I rather headcanon Alex as being much more willing to admit these sorts of things to himself (both inside and outside Devil verse), so I'm not sure it's a fic that really needs to be written. M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share? Oh goodness, quite a few on the backburner but I often tend not to like to speak of them out loud until they're much more concrete in my mind. It's like laying them out in front of the world kills them somehow. I'm not sure I'll get round to any of them soon because I've already got quite a few projects I'm actively working on (including Dividing Lines with @valaks). S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?

Look. Look. I grew up in the olden days of the AR fandom - the beautiful days of 2008/2009, when fandom tropes were really in their heyday. I can resist none of them. Alex's bullet scar being discovered? Hand me the popcorn. K unit back in Brecons even though it makes no sense? I'll lap it up with a spoon. Alex proving he's an unexpectedly crack shot? My beloved. Actually, part of the reason I ended up putting a halt on rewriting Ask No Questions was that I realised it was just a self-indulgent trope fest. I suppose I've grown out of writing the fandom tropes a little in the last year, though, because I've become much more interested in writing adult Alex, and there are fewer tropes attached to that. V: If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose? I mean, I think there are quite a few people who already know the real answer to this because it's already in the works. But to pick another....probably something in @irelise's Mirrors verse. Mirrors was such an utterly brilliant set up in every way. I'd love to see adult Alex actually meet Yasha, and have Yasha try to kill him, especially in a scenario where Alex was still drafted in as a child spy and so is conflicted about what he does next. But I know Ireliss/Irelise would do a much better job on this than me, so I await this sequel with anticipation.... Here is Mirrors for anyone who hasn't yet had the privilege of reading it: https://archiveofourown.org/works/32447587

Yassen always knew Hunter's stupid orphan was going to get him killed.

... Destiny is fucking with him again. It's fine. He'll fix it.

for maybe a month now, I've been neck-deep in Of Madness and Mammals by Brairwitched, and so, of course I had to channel all that excess energy somewhere ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ The first three sketches are character studies based off Alex and Yassen's appearances in the novels plus the Mammals twist, and the last two are scenes from Comorbidity (chapters 92 and 93, respectively).

What is your dream Alex Rider fic?

Hi Anon! Thank you for the ask!

I’m not sure if you want fics that I plan to write or good ones that I’ve read, so I’ll do both 😊

Here are some fics I’ve read recently:

The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

Among the Lotus

The Taste of Almonds

Switzerland

Binned

Goldsinger

No Man Left Behind

Interview with a Hitman

Bonding Amid The Bangs

These are just some of the many excellent fics that I've read, and there are definitely some that I've forgotten!

If you are want some more recs with a good summaries, I highly recommend this post by @afewbulbsshortofatanningbed and @alexriderfanficrecs post good fic recs too 😊

Fics I’m writing/planning to write:

- Alex gets caught up in a bank robbery

- A continuation of The Secrets She Keeps where Alex finds out about his inheritance

- Ben gives Alex an advanced driving course

And if you want to see the fics that I’ve already posted, my masterlist is here 😊

Thanks for the message anon! I hope you have a great day!

In one world, Alan Blunt held true in his threat and deported Jack.

In one world, Alex Rider bailed out of foster care.

In one world, Yassen Gregorovich is pickpocketed by a street rat in London, just after assassinating Sayle.

And Yassen won't let that stand.

..and somehow, he accidentally takes the boy as his apprentice. (What was his name again?)

Book Recs Ask Game: 4, 9, 10, 13, 15, 16, 19, 24, 28, 32, 51, 54, 59, 71, 75, 77, 83, 87, 88, 89, 91, 92, 95, 119, 120, 121, 124, 126, 131, 132, 133, 134 (of course, you don't have to answer them all, just the ones that particularly interest you!)

4 a poetry book that reads like a story - Sir Gawaine and the Green Knight. I read the poem bc the gifs of Dev Patel were so pretty, but now that I have I so vastly prefer the story of the poem that I don't have any interest in seeing the movie.

9 your favourite book of 2020 - The Trouble With Peace by Joe Abercrombie. One of the best books by one of the best authors, it'll be a while before I read something that tops this.

10 a book that got you through something - Gosh... I would say it's mostly fanfic that gets me through the tough times. There's no book in particular that I remember helping me through a rough patch, but writing and reading and the sense of community and generosity in fanfic has helped me a hell of a lot over the years.

13 your favorite romance novel - North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. It's Pride & Prejudice with gritty social commentary. The BBC mini-series is incredible but the book is better.

15 a book rec you really enjoyed - Middlemarch by George Eliot, which was recommended by you! It was a fairly daunting prospect to read it, but I love the feeling of it, I especially adore the characters. It's like walking round a museum, a beautiful, baffling, sometimes unsettling but ultimately fulfilling experience. ❤

16 a book you'd recommend to your younger self - Alex Rider. I really wish I'd gotten into this series sooner!

19 a book that put you in a reading slump - I don't blame books for putting me in reading slumps. Because I listen to audiobooks, I'm sometimes more interested in listening to podcasts or music between books. Sometimes when I find a good podcast, it can take weeks to listen to the back catalogue.

24 a book on your nightstand - The Wisdom of Crowds by Joe Abercrombie. I don't currently have an electronic version, so if I want to look up quotes I have to do it the old fashioned way!

28 a book you wish you could read as a beginner again - Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett. Although I do still enjoy reading the book knowing all the revelations, going in cold is an amazing experience that I would love to relive.

32 your favourite nonfiction novel - I haven't read many... Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keefe was a solid read, though.

51 a book that you found underwhelming - Gideon the Ninth. After all the hype I'd seen I went in expecting wonders and got... a confusing mess. I wish I liked it more, but I don't.

54 a book with the best opening line - Blood Rites by Jim Butcher. "The building was on fire and it wasn't my fault." Flawless. Only to be outdone by the book's last line: "Why did you buy large breed puppy chow?"

59 a book about city life - Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch. I adore his depiction of London and how multi-racial the cast is.

71 your favourite LGBTQ+ fiction - Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston warms my heart and is the queer utopia in which I would like to live please and thank you.

75 a book featuring the I'm not like other girls trope - Thud! by Terry Pratchett features a pretty great subversion of this trope.

77 a book so useless that you could use it as a coaster - Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

83 a book featuring the fake dating trope - I don't think I've ever read one tbh.

87 a book with a predictable ending - A Frozen Heart by Elizabeth Rudnick. It's a retelling of the Frozen movie, so unless you're one of the 0.1% of people who read it without having seen the movie, the ending is very predictable!

88 a book that made you angry - Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo. I just felt like she threw the cathartic heist magic trick ending away for shock value.

89 a book that disappointed you - Peace Talks by Jim Butcher. Stretching the Ethniu storyline into two books was a mistake, IMO. After waiting 5 years for the book I have to say I was definitely disappointed.

91 the shortest book you've read - I mean... the Very Hungry Caterpillar?

92 a book about a redeemable villain - Artemis Fowl. Forget Zuko, this is my favourite redemption story ever. I love how Artemis is the unequivocal villain of the first book, I love how much stock it puts in him earning Holly and the fairies' trust.

95 your favourite coming of age novel - Oof, by and large I hate coming of age stories, I find them extremely hard to relate to, but A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess is a phenomenal book.

119 your favourite summer read - The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie is my go-to beach read. I think Gorst's grim, bitter inner monologues are best enjoyed when the sun is shining, with Mr Whippy in hand.

120 a book about childhood friends - The Song of Achilles by Madeleine Millar. Does that count? I feel like it counts.

121 a book that makes you nostalgic - Peter Rabbit by Enid Blyton. Loved it as a child, my favourite stuffed toy was a bunny called Peter. 🥲

124 the book you're currently reading - I finished it but I haven't yet jumped to a new book, so The Fowl Twins: Get What They Deserve by Eoin Colfer. Absolutely mad, I'm left with a big sense of 'wtf did I just read?!' I love this series!

126 your favourite spring read - Hmm... Spring calls for something light and lively... Carry On, Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse, perhaps?

131 tag somebody with whom you would want to buddy read a book - @sapokanikan, I wanna buddy read some George Eliot with you 🧡

132 who is your favorite person to go to for book recs? - My twin sister knows me best. She recommended me both Dresden and The First Law, so her taste is immaculate.

133 a book that you came across randomly and fell in love with - The Complete Works of W. B. Yeats. My copy is old and battered and belonged to one of my eldest sister's originally. One day it ended up in the bathroom, and suffice it to say Yeats is now one of my favourite poets. 😆

134 unreccomend any book you like! - Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Emphasis on cursed.

#phew that was a lot of questions 😆

A, F, G, H, and V for the AR ask game please? It's quite a lot of questions, sorry😅

Thanks for the ask!!

A - How did you first get into AR?

When I was in middle school, a kid gave an oral book report on Point Blank and it sounded really interesting so I checked out the first book and my love for the series only grew from there.

F - Favorite ship?

My favorite ship is Tomlex. I think they are really cute together!

G - What Fanfics do you recommend and which is your favorite?

Oh there are so many fanfics that I could recommend, I could make a post solely on recs! That being said here are some of my favorites.

The Best Friends by The CrowsLows19

Faint Hearted by Scorpia710

The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by Pongnosis

Witness by The InverseUniverse

The Price of Treason by BlueberryLibrary

H - What do you family think of AR?

I’m the only one in my family that reads/watches Alex Rider so they don’t really care about it. They’ll listen to me ramble on about it because they know it interests me but thats about as far as their interaction with it goes.

V - What character are you most like?

I would say I’m the most like Tom. I try to be a good friend to others and be there for them just like how Tom is a good friend to Alex and tries to be there for him.

My Top 10 Ships of 2020

It's been a weird year but I've seen other people doing this. Plus this year I've been way more into gen fics (love a bit of found family especially in clone wars and marvel) than anything shippy. So I genuinely don't know what imma put on here aside from two ships for sure. Sorry this post is super long idk how to do the below the cut thing and I've had this app for 5 years...

10) Viktor Nikiforov and Yuuri Katsuki - Yuri!!! On Ice

It was a real toss up between this, supercorp, kanera and wolfstar cos they're all very integral ships to my fan heart but this son because of the Yuri on Ice fandom's rebirth this year. I've never stopped shipping this, never stopped reading fanfic of them for any extended period of time, they're still my most bookmarked ship on ao3 (although I think now star wars - all media types may have overtaken them for fandom). They were one of the first things I watched where the queer ship I loved became canon and I can't wait for the film (and hopefully someday a season 2). Heck I even made my mum watch Yuri on Ice with me so I think that says it all.

9) Edelgard Von Hresvelg and female Byleth - Fire Emblem: Three Houses

My first fire emblem game was fates when I was like 14 (and finally gay awake lol). I was so disappointed that I had to be with a guy character because the only female option was kinda creepy and also I wouldn't get the character of kana. So when three houses came out I was so happy because finally there were beautiful incredible female characters my female byleth could romance (I'm so sorry mlm you deserved so much more than you got). I got the game as soon as it came out (had to search a lot of shops let me tell you) and started on black eagles. I was actually kinda disappointed back in 2019. I didn't like the explore the monastery bit (still find it kinda tedious) and the battle mechanics weren't quite the same as fates (no pairing up?! Aka my main battle technique for protecting the weaker units). So I got like 20 hours in and put it down. Came back to it in lockdown and finally finished it! I'm so proud of myself I virtually never finish games. And I fully fell in love with the useless lesbian edelgard in the process. When I started back playing in 2020 I was like eh I wish I'd picked a different character to romance (like shes an emperor that's morally very shady) but then the romance stuff started with edelgard and I fell the heck in love.

8) Cory Matthews and Shawn Hunter (and Topanga Lawrence) - Boy Meets World

Disney+ was released in the UK this year and I finally got the opportunity to watch boy meets world in its best quality (aka not on YouTube). I watched it back when I was like 12 or 13 and it's such a nostalgic show for me. Watching it again I still absolutely adore it (and my bi ass was low-key crushing on Shawn especially in chick like me - I'm 18 btw and I got so scared for a sec but rider strong was 18 when chick like me came out so it's fine woah). And of course now I see the possibilities of the beautiful Cory and Shawn relationship like they were so bromance it was basically romance and throw in topanga it's the perfect ot3 (but I'm also fine with just Cory and Shawn or just Cory and Topanga). Read some good fanfic for them this year. My favourite was one about Shawn stealing makeup and stuff and exploring gender (need more fics like this I'm biiii).

7) Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes - Marvel Cinematic Universe

I rewatched all the MCU films this year too. And got really into Peter parker whump and irondad. Plus my eternal obsession with identity and relationship reveals of course led me from Spiderman identity reveals (and found family cuteness) to stucky coming out. Especially when it involves the internet and social media. Not my favourite ship but it's been significant to my year due to the sheer amount of marvel stuff I've read.

6) Satine Kryze and Obi Wan Kenobi - Star Wars

I rewatched clone wars in prep for season 7 and wow Satine's death was sad and sudden. She first appeared in S2 E13 I think and just the sheer sexual tension of their bickering. "The sarcasm of a soldier. The delusion of a dreamer." Just ugnnhhh my bi ass can't take much more of this. And Anakin just sipping his wine in the background grinning. And I fully believe korkie is a Kenobi.

5) Commander Cody and Obi Wan Kenobi - Star Wars

I am very much an Obi wan multishipper. I don't really have a favourite but I fully believe he was with satine and Quinlan in his life. I don't think be would've actually done anything with Cody because of the whole superior officer thing. And this probably isn't even my favourite Obi wan ship - that honour probably goes to quinobi or obitine. However the most popular ships in the fandom are codywan, quiobi and obikin. No offence to anyone who ships these they're just personally not to my taste, but I can't stand quiobi, and obikin I find only slightly more tolerable and I think that's just because there's so much obikin content so if I like the concept of a fic that happens to be obikin I'll read it. I'm just not a fan of the mentor/student relationships. So I generally favoured the codywan fics when there was shipping involved meaning I read a lot of them this year. Needed that nice fix it content post season 7.

4) Zuko and Katara - Avatar: the Last Airbender

Again I am a multishipper I have nothing against zukka it's cute. But I'm a zutara shipper first and foremost because when I first watched avatar I was like 13 and denying my gayness and gayness in general so I shipped the straight things and the straight things only. Most of these ships I stopped shipping - dramione, spuffy, some my little pony ones which we don't talk about. Zutara stayed. (I have nothing against any of the things I used to ship I just stopped shipping them so much/shipped new things more). I've continuously shipped zutara since I first watched avatar even if I didn't necessarily spend that much time on it it has always been here as one of my favourite ships. It has such good fanfic I swear including my favourite ever fanfic from any fandom - love thy enemy. Plus like the black games (reread this for the millionth time this year), a delicate subterfuge (which I read for the first time this year and damn it's so good) and so many more. With the avatar resurgence this year I haven't actually rewatched avatar aside from my normal random episode every now and then when I feel like it. But there's been a lot of avatar on my dash from people I follow getting into it and people I followed for avatar returning so naturally I returned to the fandom and read quite a lot of fanfic. I also read just a lot of avatar gen fics which were great at the whole found family thing I've been so obsessed with this year.

3) Catra and Adora - She Ra and the Princesses of Power

Catradora is canon! They kissed! What more is there to say. Arguably they should've been top but I never shipped them that much since I was always very much a multishipper when it came to she ra so yes I was very happy it became canon because we actually won for once but also I've never read much fanfic for them etc. But they are very much a dynamic I love and watching she ra all again in prep for season 5 I really enjoyed the build up of their relationship. The other two only go above because Buffy is my favourite show ever and damn there's some good fuffy fanfic and Aphra and Tolvan is both fresh in my mind and star wars owns me. Would love some catradora fic recs btw if anyone has them tho.

2) Buffy Summers and Faith Lehane - Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I didn't realise it was last year that I got super into them but according to my ao3 bookmarks it was lol. 2020 I swear it's lasted an eternity. I got into them about a month before lockdown (which feels like another lifetime). I've loved Buffy since I first watched it when I was 13. It's arguably still my favourite TV show. I've been through a lot of ships for Buffy - bangel to spuffy and now fuffy. I still think angel and her were a beautiful ship back in season 2 and especially in the angel episode I will remember you. But faith and Buffy had so much chemistry in season 3 - she would've been a fresh start for Buffy and the amount of fix it fics I read I swear. My favourite has to be one where they met in LA during Anne and how that changed everything feat Buffy's internal homophobia.

1) Cheili Lona Aphra and Magna Tolvan - Star Wars

I read Darth Vader (2015) and Doctor Aphra (2016) for the first time at the end of 2020 (got a comic subscription which has served me very well already I've nearly finished the star wars canon comics). Just to see canon queer ladies in star wars was so magical for me as a queer lady. I didn't think star wars would be so overt yet as to have a queer kiss in canon (even if it's in the comics) and especially not with the main character of arguably their main comic series. Now we just gotta hope that we'll get it in live action someday soon. They weren't the ship I consumed the most content of in 2020 but they were the highlight of my 2020 because star wars did that and I finally found out about it

Honourable mentions: Vivian and Elle - Legally Blonde, Candace and Vanessa - Phineas and Ferb, Stevie and Alex - Wizards of Waverly Place, Xander and Spike - Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I actually don't ship this but damn some authors are good - this was the ship that made me realise I don't need to like a ship if the author is good enough to write it well), Eli Vanto and Mitth'raw'nuruodo - Star Wars (started reading the books last year but finished this year and only started with fanfic this year), Villanelle and Eve - Killing Eve, Kanan and Hera - Star Wars, Barriss and Ahsoka - Star Wars, Remus and Sirius - Harry Potter, Kara and Lena - Supergirl (let's hope this becomes canon next year!) (Those last four are ones I've shipped forever some of my og ships but nothing particularly big has happened for me this year with them so)

I got Disney+ this year so rewatched a fair few things from my youth and though hey my obsession with that character may have been a little gay.
