A Fanfiction Recs Blog
Hi, Coriander here!
I’ve spent a large amount of my life reading fanfiction and now I have a surplus of favorites (almost four thousand whoops) that I have no idea what to do with. Figured I might as well share them so others can experience the same joy as I have reading these lovely works. She/Her pronouns please!

I don’t think I’ve ever reposted a comic before–but with a small tweak, this one seemed to fit.
Congratulations everyone on making it through this incredibly tough year. I am keeping you, and especially those of you who experienced loss, in my thoughts.
Hoping for a better 2021!

fic tropes ranking
I got tagged by @haylestorming to create a tiered list of fanfic tropes. I actually did this on my personal blog a few months ago, so I’ll just copy/paste my answer from over there 😊
If you’d like to make one of your own, you can do so over here. Consider yourself tagged if you want to be!

Hey guys it's been a while!
Sorry for not posting since, what, November? My life has had a lot of downs since then and I've honestly just been trying to stay afloat. But I'm not here to talk about me!
Today's post is going to be a little different.
Today I want to pay tribute to an author who's works have gotten me through a lot shit the last couple of months. With heavy focus on mental health, trauma recovery, and learning to accept yourself, Goldkirk is one of the best authors on the archive in literal years.

“or, How Tim Drake Found A Family, Became A Photojournalist, Learned To Love Coffee, and Grew Up, not necessarily in that order.
Tim Drake is thirteen, runs the famous BatWatch blog that has spiraled hilariously out of control, has absentee parents that suit his purposes just fine, is training himself to run the streets at night, and is doing absolutely peachy, thank you.
Alfred and Jason disagree, and get Dick and Bruce involved in figuring out their weird nextdoor neighbor kid’s life. Everything goes uphill from there.”
~ Latchkey, first work in series
God where do I even begin? This series...means so much to me. Tim Drake’s (and the rest of his family of course!) journey has resonated so deeply with my soul. I’ve laughed, cried, and screamed (seriously? That shit in Black Bird wrecked me) during all three times I’ve read through this wonderful series. This is one of the works that has more than earned its place as one of the greats, and will continue to do so in its latest work Hymn (focused on the newest edition to the family, Damian). Please go give this a read right away!

“Tim Drake has a lot of secrets, and his secrets are buried deep--deep enough that even he doesn’t remember them, and hasn’t for years.
But after the worst year of his life--Dead Year; so many people he loves lost, so many changes happening, and so much sadness and grief, even after he got most of his loved ones back--he’s absolutely tantalizing to certain kinds of creatures that haunt the dark. Including one who already hunted for him once before, a long time ago, who will stop at nothing to finish the job this time around.
Good thing Tim has unbelievably stubborn family and friends on his side. He’s going to need all the help he and his newly rediscovered powers can get.”
Okay. GUYS. This is a fusion of Batman and the wonderful and terrifying world of Coraline. It’s very new and still in its starting stages but this is SO. GOOD. This is by far one of the most interesting concepts I’ve seen in YEARS, and I’m already obsessed.

“Bruce hadn’t set out to become a doctor.
Bruce hadn’t set out to become much of anything, really, but life didn’t seem to care what Bruce intended. He finished out high school like Alfred wanted, booked a one-way ticket to Thailand, and set off to either find himself or die some way that would make him feel like it was worth the extra years in between.
And then fourteen years later, he found himself working his first day on call as a full-fledged pediatric general surgeon, of all things, at Gotham Children’s.
And Bruce?
He was the best.
Bruce is a doctor, in a world that took a few major left turns. His kids always seem to find him anyway. (one chapter for each child, not in chronological order).”
Bruce as a pediatric surgeon? Wonderful. Bruce being a terrific role model for every single one of his soon-to-be children?? Absolutely perfect.

Well, this means they’ll just have to start watching over their friends themselves.”

““Sensei, it’s ugly.” Eri blinked curious eyes at Miss Hadou, one of Lemi- one of Mirio’s friends. She’s loud and blunt and Eri didn’t really know how to act around her.
Holding the bright garment up with both hands, the little girl tries to see what Hadou sees. “Is it?”
Mister Aizawa - the teacher from U.A who has been checking in with Eri, rolled his eyes. “It’s better than hospital gowns.”
Miss Hadou kicked her legs in the air from her perch on Eri’s bed, letting out a series of giggles, startling the little girl. “No! Sensei it’s so ugly!”
(If it takes an entire school of rowdy teenagers, their very tired teachers and then some, to ensure a little girl finally is allowed to be happy?
Then so be it.).”

Then, Aizawa Shouta, an underground pro hero, enrolls his adoptive son, four year-old Shinsou Hitoshi, a boy who’s been kicked out of every other daycare and school he’s been put in since the development of his brainwashing quirk. Hizashi is more than happy to have him in his school, especially since Hizashi was born with a ‘dangerous’ quirk himself, and he quickly finds out that he has a soft spot for this kid and a serious liking towards his father that he has to learn to deal with.”

“Keith is a witch who owns a shop where he breaks curses on both magical items and people under spells. Love spells, family curses passed down generations, cursed heirlooms lurking the attic -- he can handle them all. But one day a boy named Lance walks into his shop, and his curse is darker and more difficult to break than anything Keith has ever seen before: the curse is draining his magic, and without his magic, Lance will die.”
I love love love all of aknightley’s aus. Each one is so different from each other with wonderfully done world building and the like. This one is no exception. It’s a slow burn though as a warning!

“It begins with another Bruce, looking around his cave and asking, “So where are the kids?”
Bruce has never thought about having a family before. But once the idea occurs to him, it’s hard to think about anything else.”
Bruce Wayne is an excellent father and someday DC Comics will properly reflect this fact just as well as the Young Justice cartoon did. Be prepared for our beloved Robins to both themselves and also something we’ve never seen before. This is a story of recovery and believing in others when all else seems bleak.

Between Todoroki and his friends from kickboxing club the entire week flies by in positive interpersonal interactions. It’s like a dream. The only bad things are Katsuki, who’s still Izuku’s neighbor and still takes time out of his day to flip Izuku off when Izuku enters the common areas, and Izuku’s roommate, who is still absent.
They still leave notes of each other; please don’t leave your things on my desk, please pick up your laundry, you left your radio on again. None of the notes are personal. Izuku thought that last weekend was just a fluke, that he’d run into his roommate this weekend, but the whole weekend passes and Izuku is forced to leave a note apologizing that he had to borrow a pen from the cup on his roommate’s desk.”

Steven Universe is created by Rebecca Sugar. One Piece is created Eiichiro Oda.”
Okay so. I know this crossover might sound super weird (hell it did to me at first) but this is honestly so good?? Steven is so incredibly adorable and full of puns. Trust me guys this is one you’ll want to have in your bookmarks if you love One Piece or Steven Universe.

Feelings can reveal themselves in unexpected ways, and perhaps their Superhero predecessors will be able to teach them that...before time runs out.”
A relic from my first foray into the Miraculous Ladybug fandom! This such a fun read due to the different time settings and seeing how the past and present pairings interact with each other is so refreshing from the usual love square.
