Both for the fic thing but I was thinking for story thieves or rom
Okay, for ROM, as far as I know there’s only one and it’s the one I wrote: Destiny - it’s a Ria (Rachel x Jia) fluff fic I wrote, though it’s just a one shot. (Definitely wanna write more for them, though!)
As for Story Thieves fics I wrote, they’re all on AO3, but I’ll link them here for easier access:
Everything About You Is Just Terrible - Set between Stolen Chapters and Secret Origins. Tired of constantly messing up, Owen gets a SQUIP from the Be More Chill book in order to fix himself. (While knowledge of the book/musical is recommended, it’s not needed to read the fic.) One shot. No ships. Focuses on Owen/Bethany friendship. Warnings for angst.
The Flesh Will Have Its Way - Inspired by Hadestown/the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. One shot. Kielany. Warnings for character death and implied suicide.
Story Borrowers - A Borrowers Au of Story Thieves. It’s best to know The Borrowers by Mary Norton, or the movie The Secret World of Arietty to know what Borrowers are. Ongoing series. Only one story so far since I’m still working on the second part. No warnings for the story I currently have out, but there may be angst in future stories. I don’t plan for this series to be very ship focused.
Dreams Are Sweet Until They’re Not - A Hanahaki fic where Gwen develops the Hanahaki disease. Mostly a one shot, but I wrote three separate endings because I couldn’t decide how I wanted it to end (I’m planning on rewriting the second ending though, that one was rushed). Mostly Kielany/Gwethany. Focuses on Owen/Gwen friendship. Warnings for a lot of angst.
A Tiny Problem - After a battle with a new villain in Jupiter City, Orion is shrunk down to 4 inches tall. 11 chapters and finished. No ships (unless you want to count Christian x Catherine, but even then their romance is barely there). Focuses on Orion bonding with the Sandersons. Warnings for some angst.
Speaking of Tiny!Orion, I loved the idea so much that I also make other Tiny!Orion fics that don’t fit into the main story for reasons. Read them here! (Plus more to come in the future!)
Riley High School - A high school Au of Story Thieves. Ongoing series. Current canon ship: Kwethany (Gwen x Bethany x Kiel). Focuses more on friendship and interactions between the main seven, though (Kara is joining their group in sophomore year. Sorry to Kara fans who have to wait for her, this includes myself lol). No major warnings, as it’s mostly Slice of Life (there is angst, but I wouldn’t say it’s that bad).
Want a laugh? Here’s a story where I just put chapters of the High School Au through 10+ languages on Google Translate then put them back to English to see the result.
Big Brother - An Au where Orion joins Christian and Catherine in the nonfictional world and gets to be Bethany’s older brother. Ongoing (only 1 chapter up right now). No ships, focuses on Orion/Bethany sibling relationship. Currently no warnings for angst, but no guarantees for the future chapters :)
School Day - Part of a project I did with friends where we wrote about the Story Thieves kids but they’re young children. One shot. No ships. Focuses entirely on Bethany. Warnings for angst (isolation, loneliness, all that good stuff I projected onto her :D)
And I have so many ideas for more! I just have to stop daydreaming and actually start writing them lol
And here are fic recs I have, most of them from my friends! (Most of these links are AO3 links since that’s where I primarily read my fics):
Baby Story Thieves - This is the project I mentioned earlier that I did with my friends. It’s still ongoing, as we still have to finish the other kids’ stories, but aside from mine, we also have a story with young Kiel and Charm, and a story with young Orion. The Kiel and Charm one has some angst, but not too much, it’s more humorous if anything. The Orion one is very angsty. Warnings for character death. No ship focuses in any of these.
Story Thieves: Crashing Clouds - A free verse poem where Owen gets hurt and lands in the hospital. One shot. No ships, focuses on Bethany/Owen/Kiel friendship. Warnings for angst.
I’m Not Scared, Neither Are the Stars - Orion’s feelings after finding out that Christian and Catherine are engaged. One shot. No ships (unless you count the very background Christian x Catherine). Orion focused, along with Orion/OC friendship. Warnings for some angst, but not too much.
Left Behind - What happens to Moira after Stolen Chapters. Ongoing (currently 4 chapters). No ships. Moira focused. Only warnings for some swearing, but there’s nothing really needing warnings outside of that.
Reality Check - I’m pretty sure this is the most popular fic in our small fandom, but I’m recommending it anyway. Au where between Secret Origins and Pick the Plot, Nobody successfully split Bethany in two, and how the events play out instead. Ongoing (currently 54 chapters). Contains Kielany, Gwethany, Kowen, and Chowen, though most of the focus is on Kielany and Kowen. Warnings foR SO MUCH ANGST ESPECIALLY IN LATER CHAPTERS TO THE POINT I TOLD THE AUTHOR SHE LOST HER BONE PRIVILEGES SHES HURT ME TOO MUCH IN THIS FIC
How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) - by the same author above. A cute neighbors/high school Au. Ongoing (currently 4 chapters). Kowen fic. Currently no angst (or at least not much) but it does seem to imply emotional abuse with Kara. Not to mention this is from the author of Reality Check and I have trust issues with her because of that fic, so this could get a lot angstier, though she claims she doesn’t plan for it, but also idk.
Halloween Thieves - A cute story about the Story Thieves gang and Halloween. One shot. No ships, focuses entirely on their friendships. No warnings.
you are my home - Set during the end of Stolen Chapters with Kiel and Bethany saying goodbye to each other. One shot. Kielany focused. No warnings.
Nobody the drag queen - Crackfic Au thing where Nobody is a drag queen with mannequin friends. Don’t take it too seriously. Finished(?) two chapters. Second chapter focuses on Nobody x Everybody (if you don’t understand you really shouldn’t. I’ve contributed to this ship and even I don’t fully understand it). Warnings for the usual ridiculousness of a crackfic.
Kowen Secret Kiss Choice - A “hidden” chapter of Pick the Plot where Owen and Kara kiss. One shot. Kowen focused. No warnings.
Pink Lotuses and Cornflowers Blues - A story about Kara and Kiel’s friendship. Involves a lot of flower symbolism. One shot. No ships, focuses on Kara/Kiel friendship, with a bit of Orion with them towards the end. Warnings for angst from Kara’s end, but mostly nightmares.
Home - Gwen and Bethany find home in each other. One shot. Gwethany focused. No warnings.
Souls of the Fictional - Soulmate Au where your soulmate’s first words to you are written on your arm. Owen realizes who his soulmate is the moment he reads the first page of the first Kiel Gnomenfoot book. Ongoing (currently 1 chapter). Gnowen focused. No warnings so far.
The Next Battle - Five years later, the seven have to work together again after finding out that Fowen, Dolores, and the Countess escaped the Time Prison. Ongoing (currently 3 chapters). According to the author, the story will have Kowen, Chowen, Kielany, and Gwethany, though currently Chowen and Kielany are canon. No warnings so far, but I can’t say for sure for the rest of the story.
There’s definitely more fics out there, some I’ve read and others I haven’t, but in my opinion, these are definitely ones to read! (Plus this list is already long enough lol.)
(I already put so many links, so if you guys want to be tagged on your tumblr blogs, let me know and I’ll edit this!)

Story Thieves: Worlds Apart Spoiler Questions/Answers
Don’t read these until you’ve finished the book! I’ll keep updating this thread as more questions come in, too. 
Oh my gosh! The whole thing with Dr. Verity though! What happened to him at the end? Did he go back to Quantarium? And is he still nice?
I’d like to think he’s out there making up for all the trouble he’s caused over the Kiel Gnomenfoot series, and maybe even learning some magic, since he was born on Magisteria, after all!
Also, sorry for all the question, but what happened to Quantarium now that Charm lives in the nonfictional world? Does she go back and forth? Or is there a new president?
Wait, Charm doesn’t live in the non-fictional world? The epilogue has Owen with her in Quanterium, where she’s president, and has her family back. 
How messed up are the Kiel Gnomenfoot books now? I mean we saw how much the epilogue changed so how different are the books? Will the readers be confused on who Owen and Fowen are or do they explain? Or will they just have to read the Story Thieves books to understand?
I’m sure Mr. Porterhouse is getting all sorts of odd questions on his blog, and probably not answering them :) But the point of that was to show that Bethany (and her parents) no longer mind if they change stories, not with everything that’s happened. Hiding who she is just causes more problems!
You know how you did an HUAT epilogue? Can you do one for ST but like 10 years later and make it about a Chowen wedding? Or maybe a double wedding and have Chowen and Keilany get married? And can there still be machanical doves?
Sorry, no epilogue for ST! There’s already one right there in the series, and that’s the last bit of story I have to tell about them, unfortunately :(
ORION AND KARA ARE A THING NOW????? WHAT HAPPENED TO KOWEN?????? ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU DID NOT WRITE THESE BOOKS??????????????? WHAT ABT KARAAAAAAAA???????????????? I LOVE KARA S O M U C H I CANT EVEN RIGHT NOW. WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE WAS THE ONE WHO SACREFICED HERSELF IN THE MOST TOUCHED WAY POSSIBLE??!! I CRIED AND SOBED ALL DAY THANKS A LOT
Just because Kid Twilight is following Kara around doesn’t mean she feels the same way :) But this question goes out to all the people who yelled at me about introducing Kara and saying she better not end up with Owen. 
Everyone was rooting for Kara x Owen and now I’m sadly disappointed that they never happened :(
Sorry! Kara was never going to end up with Owen, not after their future best friendhood never happened in Pick the Plot (well, Kara remembers it, but it never happened for Owen). 
OH MY GOSH! CHARM'S FAMILY IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did her father retire from being president or however it works in Quantarium? Is that how she's president now?
I mean, everyone thought he died (because he did at first), so when they brought him back after saving him from the accident, he was already out of office due to death. 
I'm loving it so far! And the cover is so vibrant! Already drew fanart of twilight girl, and I havn't even finished the book yet! LOL
Thanks! Twilight Girl is one of my favorite versions of Bethany, along with all the others. 
Are all of your book series-es going to have open endings?
Um, this was an open ending? Do you mean because everyone didn’t die? All my books that end happily will probably end like both my other series, honestly, because I like the idea that things don’t just stop when the story’s over. But I don’t know that I’d call that an open ending, either? Maybe I’m misunderstanding? 
What happened to Alphonse? He wasn't in the last book, is he ok?
You can’t herd cats, even into the final book of a series. He probably slept through the entire story. 
now that book 5 is out, i want to revisit the question: what would be 3 words to describe nobody? he never seemed fully evil, but was never a good guy either.
Sure, revisit away! Honestly, I don’t know that I could sum him up in three words ... or my books would be a lot shorter :)
Thank you so much for such an amazing series! Thank you for the Kielany! And most importantly thank you for the Chowen! 
Aw, thank you!
I am so happy that Kara x Owen didn't happen! Chowen forever!
Hey, at least I made one reader happy :D Sorry, Kara fans, I love her too, really! But her whole story kinda necessitated it not working out :(
