WWDITS Fic Recs Masterlist

Yes, I made two of these already, but I thought I’d organize all the fics I’ve read now into proper categories.

Putting under a readmore because it’ll be obnoxiously long and I also want to be able to edit if I read more fics which I inevitably will

I’ve put this masterlist into a bunch of categories and subcategories, so choose which categories and subcategories intrigue you. I’ll add the ratings of each fic in parentheses after the title.

I’m also gonna mark the ones that are my absolute favorites for gorgeous writing or perfect characterization with bold italic lettering if you don’t care about specifics and just want the best most perfectest fics overall. I do stand by my opinion that these are ALL good and they all have at least one of the following: excellent writing, on-point characterization, funny humor, or heartwarming emotions. otherwise I would be my usual judgy self and not include them lol

Shipping/Romance

Nandor/Guillermo (this is gonna be the largest category. I am sorry to shippers of other ships- keep scrolling! and maybe write some more Laszlo/Nadja fics for me)

Road trip fics

Do you want...

...Guillermo being turned into a vampire on the banks of the river Tigris? Read The Beginning After the End (M) by machinewithoutfeelings OR Upon Thy Native Soil (T) by rallamajoop

For a fic where Colin takes Laszlo and Nadja to an asexual meetup to feed off their misunderstanding: Coming Up Aces (M) by Heather N

For a fic that includes the vampires from the movie: Transcript of a Lost Tape (T) by selfindulgences

I’ll add to this if I read more! and if you have recommendations for me, please let me know! There’s less than 1500 fics in the AO3 tag at the moment so it was easy for me to read a good chunk of them with my obsession and procrastination skills being what they are, but I’m sure there’s some amazing ones I missed. I’d LOVE to read more Nadja-centric fic if anyone has any!

Thanks for reading through this behemoth. It’s the result of me being insane
