Highly recommend this series for the Dadstiel and destiel girlies. It had me giggling and kicking my feet. Post-Season five Dean and Castiel end up adopting Claire and living their best lives in a small town.

Shout out to @playedwright for this fanfic that's been living in my head rent free for weeks

Tags: Alternate Universe - Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies, Post-Canon, Eddie Munson Lives, i would not classify this as a kid fic but there is a kid present so, a truly remarkable amount of yearning stuffed into this bad boy

Summary:

So it goes like this. The three times that Steve Harrington’s life changed for the better include: First, on July 5th, 1985, in a hospital room in Hawkins when Robin Buckley snuck into his room with an IV pole trailing behind her and crawled into his bed before making him promise that they’d be friends for the rest of their lives. Second, on October 13th, 1993, sitting in a cold chair in a social worker’s office and watching the door open while holding his breath, on the day that he first met Winnie and knew instantly that this was his son. And then today, in some dingy bar in Boston when he looks up from the drink he’s nursed for the better part of two hours and learns after eleven years of mourning that Eddie Munson is alive and just as beautiful as he’s ever been. * or, it's 1997. Eddie Munson finally finds his home.

Thanks for the rec!

[omgpoindexter]

what are you top 5 fave nurseydex fics you've read? (a girl is needing recs)

oh yay!!! first of all i have to admit that over the years i've dipped in and out of omgcp tumblr and therefore have been very bad at staying up to date, so most of these are quite old. they are my favourites for a reason, however! also i did 6 not 5 lol <3

to be alone with you by @alocalband Will and Derek spend their junior year learning how to live together, learning how to be friends, and, eventually, figuring out that they'd like to be more.

i actually only read this fic recently, but it’s instantly one of my new faves. it is SO well written, the characterisations of every single character are perfect, and the story is so beautiful. i’ve reread it a few times already!

in so many words also by alocalband Derek writes a short story. That's his first mistake. His second is getting it published.

idk why but i absolutely live for fics where everyone on the outside knows what nursey and dex are up to except for them, and this one is really good at it. the ‘derek “nursey” nurse is unchill’ tag is very accurate in this case.

in front of the same small bathroom mirror by @geniusorinsanity It's not surprising that sharing a room changes things, but neither of them expect the most important conversations in their strange, awkward friendship to happen in their shared bathroom. (Or: five conversations Dex and Nursey have in a shared bathroom, and one in bed.)

i absolutely adore this story. dex and nursey learning to coexist and care for each other is so special to me and this fic captures it perfectly. honestly, anything by shelly is going to be a must-read, but this one is really really wonderful.

it drops with the gravity of rain also by geniusorinsanity It happens like this: “I don’t--this is a bad idea,” Dex says, his lips still tingling, his hands shaking on Nursey’s hips where he’s shoved him away. “This is a really bad idea, Nurse. I can’t--We can’t do this.” And there’s hurt in Nursey’s eyes and his bottom lip is swollen from Dex’s teeth, but he says, “Okay.” And then, “It’s chill, Dex. Just friends, then.” It happens like this: “Actually,” Nursey says, talking more to his granola than to them, “I kind of have a date.” It happens like this: When Nursey calls, Dex almost doesn’t pick up the phone.

another wonderful fic by shelly - i reread this one all the time. it’s such a lovely character study of dex and it tackles the subject matter so well. content warnings in the end notes.

things you said by @quidhitch / @maangoes “Awww, looks like Dex appreciates a lady in uniform,” Nursey teases, tucking his feet a little further beneath Dex’s thighs. “You have a thing with the head cheerleader back in high school Dexy? Hold her pom poms and kiss her whatnot?” Dex seems to be contemplating something, and Nursey figures it’s one of his lame clapbacks like your mom’s a pom pom. He brings the bottle to his mouth, smiling around the lip of it. “Actually, I’m more of a captain of the football team kinda guy.” Nursey chokes on his beer.

i always come back to this one. it’s just so sweet and funny. i remember reading it years ago and it has stuck with me all this time.

today the sun comes in by @playedwright Will looks beautiful, Derek thinks, and it isn’t fair. Time has done nothing to lessen the extent of his feelings, either. Derek realizes a little too late exactly why he was nervous. It has been four years, three months, and five days since they graduated from Samwell, and Derek is finally facing the undeniable fact that at some time during his college years, he fell in love with William J. Poindexter and never got around to falling out of it.

this is one of those special fics that stays with you. i have never been to seattle, but this story made me homesick for the city. mars is such a gorgeous writer and this fic is a perfect example of it! (also i miss u mars!!!)

this was fun, i've missed reccing fics! i hope i could be useful! maybe i'll do some more recent ones if I manage to keep up to date with the nurseydex tag <3

[perenial]

you're one of the few i trust in the it fandom so. can you give some of your fav reddie fic recs pretty please??

okay. so,

this wouldn't be a gene perenial neé eurythmix rec list if i didn't hype up my main bitch cait @hyruling and a few of her stunning fics:

footprints in the snow | rated: e, wc: 62k

Eddie meets comedian and rising star Richie Tozier at a comedy club, and his life is promptly turned upside down. His Twitter followers jump from 80 to 80,000 overnight, he's being photographed in the subway, and the dreams that have plagued him his entire life are becoming increasingly specific and haunting. Richie feels strangely like the home he's long forgotten, and falling into friendship with him is the easiest thing he's ever done. But the closer they get, the clearer it becomes that Richie is hiding something.

we've been here before | rated: e, wc: 71k

Richie starts seeing Eddie everywhere after Derry. He's obviously hallucinating, until he isn't.

call my bluff, call you babe | rated: e, wc: 29k

"Why can’t I ask Bill?” 

“Because— he’s basically a celebrity too. That’s just. It’s already weird enough to people that you two even know each other, pretending to be romantically involved is just opening up a whole can of worms. I’m outside.”

“‘Romantically involved’, when did you start writing for The Sun, Eds,” Richie teases with a chuckle, just as Eddie reaches the final turn down Richie’s hallway. “That doesn’t really… I mean, people know we were friends when we were kids, so—”

“Just pretend to be my date,” Eddie says, and—

And nearly throws his phone into the fucking wall.

/

it also wouldn't be a rec list by me if i didn't talk about the incomparable mars @playedwright​ who totally changed the game with this little number:

let me name the stars for you | rated: m, wc: 58k

“So. To summarize. I’m stranded on Mars, entirely alone. I have absolutely no way to communicate with my crew or with earth, since our communications antennae turned me into a human shish-kabob. If the oxygenator becomes compromised, I’ll suffocate. If the water reclaimer stops working, I’ll dehydrate. Breach in the Hab means I’ll go poof. And if, for some god-forsaken reason none of those things kill me first, I’m gonna run out of food and starve to death. Oh, and we can’t forget that everyone I know thinks I’m dead. So… yup. Totally fucked.”

On Sol 6, an unexpected windstorm cuts the Ares III Mission short and six astronauts retreat back to Earth.

On Sol 7, the astronaut they left behind wakes up gasping for air.

(Or, The Martian au)

[part one of a series that will genuinely change ur life]

i was going to list all my other fave mars fics but im gonna be honest they all blow my dick clean off so just. read everything they’ve written, capiche?

misc fics that make me feel like wailing and screaming and crying etc etc:

in the heat of the summer (you’re so different from the rest) | rated: e, wc: 109k

 There’s a heatwave in L.A., the first time Richie sees Eddie naked.

  or

  One very hot year in the life of two idiots in love, working shit out.

[gene notes: so like. @skinks​ is an icon and i’ve yet to read anything, fic or original work, that captures atmosphere as well as joe does with this absolute behemoth. and i can GUARANTEE u’ll never read a hornier piece of writing. what a legend]

/

the more light series | rated: t, combined wc: 34k

When Mike calls from Derry, Patty answers the phone instead.

[gene notes: @theparadigmshifts​ my bestie @theparadigmshifts​!! be sure to read their other IT fics too, there’s some fab hanbrough & stanpat in there]

trashmouth for sale, gently used | rated: e, wc: 19k

“Richie is an award winning comedian and voice actor, originally from Derry, Maine. He’s a six-foot-two Pisces, and in case dinner goes very badly- CPR certified,” the auctioneer recites joylessly, while Richie is in stitches at her side. “Richie enjoys long walks on the beach, 1-800 number jingles, and debating the civil rights of robots. You can select any venue in New York for your dinner, but Richie says he especially enjoys Thai food and frozen custard and describes himself as a bottomless pit-”

Richie taps the auctioneer's shoulder and leans into the mic. “That’s a typo. That should say just ‘bottom’.”

   -

While Richie gets roped into a bachelor auction, Eddie struggles with his own worth.

[gene notes: holy shit i just found out this is the same @stitchyblogs​ who wrote a bunch of ofmd fics i love?? and they have more IT stuff i haven’t read??? AND their art is spectacular????]

/

the stupid deep series | rated: e, combined wc: 66k

Richie has a big dick, and Eddie is into it.

[gene notes: this anon writes p/orn like no one else and their characterisation is spot on to boot, what more could u want]

/

broken record | rated: e, wc: 55k

The house on Neibolt was standing again.

Bill was talking about going in alone. How?

“So does somebody want to say something?” Eddie asked, still breathing, still fucking breathing and alive and not dripping his Goddamn organs out of his chest.

“Richie said it the b-best when we were here last,” Bill said.

“Holy fuck.”

[gene notes: THEEEE time loop fic of all time. OF ALL TIME. i genuinely cannot overstate how good this fic is – it takes a relatively simple premise and goes places that make u want to start eating drywall. @spunknbite​ is a genius and i’ll be thinking abt this fic for the rest of my life probably]

[bonus spunknbite fic that has nothing to do with broken record but was a gift to me (!!) and i’ll never shut up abt it]

/

five things to do in derry when you’re dead | rated: t, wc: 3k

When he opens his eyes, there’s darkness out the window and a hand hovering over his chest.

“You know,” Eddie mutters, squinting up at it. “You could at least buy me dinner first.”

The answer he gets is an odd, choked noise. It’s halfway between a laugh and a sob.

*

Something dies. Something grows. The universe tries to keep itself balanced.

[gene notes: no joke, this is the fic that got me into the fandom]

/

the quickest way to a man’s heart series | rated: t & e, combined wc: 16k

"Are you... allowed to do that?"

The guy's forehead turns into a mess of wrinkles as he raises his eyebrows and gives a little bark of a laugh.  Richie recognizes him just as the guy says "Dude, it's my fucking restaurant."

[gene notes: CHEF EDDIE CHEF EDDIE CHEF EDDIE CHEF EDDIE]

/

slow down, you crazy child | rated: t, wc: 20k

Richie looks down at his own body and like the bed and the bedroom before it, he doesn’t recognize what he sees.

A broken sound escapes his lips and he slaps his hand to his mouth. Then he pulls his hand away, looks at it again, and slaps it back in place before his mouth gets any smart ideas.

“What the fuck,” he says against his not-hand.

(A 13 Going on 30 AU, sort of.)

[gene notes: have i mentioned how much i love time travel stories recently. bc it’s A Lot]

/

now what i’m gonna say may sound indelicate | rated: e, wc: 374k

Eddie Kaspbrak has lived his whole life being told that he's delicate, and he's not. And nearly bleeding out in an alien fear demon's lair has helped him realize that--as well as what he can live through. It puts his priorities in some perspective.

What he is, is injured. And married. To like, a woman. And gay. And stupidly, stupidly in love with Richie Tozier, after all these years. And he'd like to use his new lease on life to act on many of these things, if only Richie would cooperate.

[gene notes: okay so this one is a wip and i haven’t even finished reading what’s been posted (see: 374k word count) but i HAD to rec it bc it’s one of the best post-chap 2 fics i’ve read – the characterisation is stellar, the story is painfully real, and the writing is just?? so good??? man i’ve gotta read this author’s other stuff im in love]

/

there are SO many other fics out there that im sure i’ve forgotten (+ i haven’t been actively looking for reddie stuff since like.....mid 2020) so this isn’t the most comprehensive rec list out there but!! these are the ones that have rly stood out to me over the years and i hope u find something in this mess u’ll enjoy 💕

[pinknatural]

godspeed in the buddie tag. pick a couple people you like and subscribe/look to their bookmarks. truly some abhorrent, incredibly rampant 2013 style fanfic misogyny & racism. especially on the "most kudo'd" end. the fantasy wish-fulfillment of having eddie call buck's girlfriend's "bitch" (and vice versa) is too wild for me to understand. but a good jumping off place in no particular order (did a quick pass of my bookmarks): ElvenSorceress, hattalove, allisonRW96, sibylsleaves, playedwright, letmetellyouaboutmyfeels, iphigenias, ok_thanks

thank u for ur recs solider but i am actually looking for a very specific kind of buddie fic i'm not about to just rawdog the ao3 tag lol

#but i'll look at these people if i ever get the urge for random fics!

Destiel Slow Burn Fics: 2

Hello everyone!! I did a list of slow burn fics a few years back, but I thought it was about time to do another one! I hope you enjoy them :D

psalm 40:2 by unicornpoe (44k)

I love time travel fics because the ability to take a character with no development and compare them in canon to their future selves is just... the best concept ever!! the writing in this one is gorgeous as well!

To Build A Home by intothesilentland (383k)

An absolutely brilliant friends to enemies to lovers fic... the emotional writing in this fic is insanely good, and the plot is just mwah <3

tell me about the dream by playedwright (88k)

The premise of this fic is "what if Dean settled down with Cas instead of Lisa after s5?" and honestly it is genius. this is just the secret good spn that lives in my head and apparently also in this fic <3

Under the Midnight Sun by NorthernSparrow (232k)

I absolutely LOVE NorthernSparrow's fics and this is one of my favourites... it's an AU set in an Alaskan research base, but it manages to be closer to canon than you would expect. As always the writing is brilliant and the plot is just perfect!

You Can Keep Holding On by NorthernSparrow (352k)

Speaking of NorthernSparrow... I usually try and keep it to one fic per author per list, but I couldn't help myself this time. If you love angsty slow burn, this is the fic for you. I don't want to spoil it any more than that, so just go read it!

The House on the Ocean Road by coffeeandcas (111k)

A lovely AU where Dean fakes his death and ends up living with Cas and his kids. It's a really touching fic, and honestly one of the best uses of Jimmy I've ever seen!

And there we go! As always, thank you to all the authors for sharing these fics with us. If you ever want to request some specific fic recs, please get in touch!

[bradycore]

1, 10, & 11?

a fic you bookmarked recently: sometimes a kind of singing by adi_rotynd. sam and jack and dean and trauma

a fic that isn’t prose (poetry, text fic, etc): What Dreams May Come by callowyn. very short, very intriguing

a fic that brought you aboard a new ship: tell me about the dream by playedwright. fandom destiel usually really puts me off, but this fic was so gentle and human that i got lost in their story. i mostly enjoy destiel in the rawness of s4/5, but this brought me aboard the potential domestic side of their dynamic

thanks for the ask! [fic recs ask game]

Title: what could i do (but follow your love)

Author(s): playedwright

Fandom(s): Check Please!

Ship(s): Derek "Nursey" Nurse/William "Dex" Poindexter

Description: It starts, for Derek at least, in the front seat of his car.

He’s not sure where it starts for Dex, but it had to have started somewhere. Derek assumes it’s been a long time coming for Dex.

Why else would Dex lean across the console to press a kiss to Derek’s mouth, like it’s the easiest thing in the world to do?

“We’re supposed to be out of the life, Cas,” Dean says. “And Sam just brought it home. So, what, now we’re just gonna raise the kid? Hope that we’re better parents than our dads were so he doesn’t grow up wanting to destroy the world?”

“He’ll just be a baby,” Cas murmurs. “Can’t we give this child the benefit of the doubt? A chance, at least, to make his own choices?”

Dean shakes his head. “The whole thing just scares me. I don’t know how to protect you guys. What if something happens to Sam, or to Claire, or to you?”

“Nothing will happen to us,” Cas promises. “Have some faith.”
