27 Seth/Kate Fanfic & Fanvid Recs
Tumblr media
The series finale of From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series is one of the most satisfying hours of television I’ve ever watched. And yet, I can’t get enough of this fandom’s incredible continuations of Seth and Kate’s story.
I’ve rounded up 15 fics and 12 fanvids I highly recommend, like:
“everywhere at the end of time” by @tuntematonkorppi
“You Probably Think This Song Is About You” by gutsforgarters
“I’d arrest you (if I had handcuffs)” by @myletternevercame
“you squeeze my hand three times” by @fortysevenswrites
“Counterfeit or Real” by @itsactuallycorrine
“Yellow” by @teamhodgins
“We’ll hide in sin” by @annesoshi
All the recs & where to find ’em on my blog:

12 SethKate Headcanons Fanfic Gave to Me (+ fic recs)
Post-series From Dusk Till Dawn fanfic gives SethKate shippers even more to scream about, because of course it does. Writers in the fandom, unwilling to leave the pair’s ending up to interpretation, have published some truly spectacular continuations of and twists on Seth and Kate’s story. Along the way, these creators have established some pretty solid and widely adopted pieces of SethKate fanon.
As someone who’s recently binge-read dozens of fics on AO3, I can attest to how easily they can be accepted as fact. (Like, seriously, try to change my mind.)
1. Seth’s urge to protect Kate doesn’t disappear after Matanzas–if anything, it grows stronger.
2. He knows full well that he doesn’t deserve Kate, but Seth wants to give her the world anyway. She has him wrapped around her finger, and absolutely everyone understands this, including him.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ❤
Tagged by @astarkey! Thanks!
Hopefully writing about this will give me the kick in the pants I’ve been looking for the last week to finish one of my current SK WIPs….😬😬😬
1 we don’t make the future, we just know it (pre-canon SethKate)
Look y’all, this came to me while I was in the shower and is cracky and absurd and one of the best things I’ve ever written. Two and a half years later and I’m still obsessed with this ridiculous little fic. It’s insane. It’s hilarious. It’s ALSO TECHNICALLY CANON. And I love it so much. It never fails to bring a smile to my face.
2 Good People, Bad Beer (post S3 SethKate)
Seth and Kate bonding over shitty beer and making out against the back of a car after surviving Matanzas, what more can you ask for? I re-read this one A Lot. It’s so good. I love it so much. Seth being dumb about them while Kate is sitting there super certain about them both is one of my favorite dynamics to write for them.
3 not the same (post TPS2/DDS3 Kastle)
Maria gets a pass out of the afterlife and uses it to browbeat her erstwhile husband into committing to get a better apartment and matchmaking him and Karen. Because of course she would. Maria Castle totally ships it, and it works because I said so and it’s not like anyone in the comics actually stays dead anyway.
4 watching over someone from afar (post TPS2 Kastle)
This was a BEHEMOTH inspired by a Sailor Moon quote and it’s such a delight. There’s nothing I love more than putting Karen together with the Lieberman family, and especially with Sarah. The dramatic scenes between Karen and Frank, especially the one right after Frank called David freaking out because he thought she was missing when she was really just snowed in at their house was just so much fun to write and it’s a beast of a fic but so much fun to go back to. Also fun to throw in those bits of Karen traumatizing Foggy on purpose.
5 There Is No Easy Way To Explain (post TPS1 Kastle)
“Karen, I know you kind of got thrown in to the whole paralegal thing, but did Matt and Foggy not teach you a thing about ethics? Specifically, the ethics of not sleeping with your client? Especially the clients on trial for almost forty fucking homicides.” - okay but like, this fic has some of the best one-liners I’ve ever written, and Marci’s POV is SUCH a fun sandbox to play around in. She’s just like..how do you LIVE and Karen’s like…hot marine with an eight-pack ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Honorable mentions, because I could not resist: what died didn’t stay dead (you’re alive, you’re alive in my head) SethKate, post S3 and Seth just does not understand how Kate is alive because he’s in awe of her, which, duh. Chapter 4 of The Strongest Stars one-shot RebelCaptain, Jyn and Cassian aren’t easy to write and this was just a fun bit of banter, It Often Rhymes Damerey takes a jaunt to Naboo and I choose not to care that Force Ghosts don’t work like that, Going Through The Unimaginable Damerey, post TLJ and they're all stuck on the Falcon and was just really fun to write, Three People, Two Reunions, One Room In Medical (RebelCaptain, post ANH - it’s a crime that Jyn and Leia never got to interact outside of some of the comic canon)
Tagging: @myletternevercame, @tuntematonkorppi, @the-restless-brook, @heidiamalia, @ninzied, @152glasslippers, @theputterer and basically anyone who wants to partake. Congratulations, consider yourselves tagged!

Top 5 favorite sethkate fanfics?
Oo, that’s hard and I am definitely taking a page out of your book and naming more than five. I also realized I am very bad at bookmarking fics on AO3, because I had at least two fics that sprang immediately to mind that I did not find in my minuscule bookmark page.
Anything by caramelle is excellent, but You Still Feel Like Home, the all human AU angst-with-a-happy-and-sexy-ending version of the “I don’t forgive you” scene, and Is it Such a Problem?, Seth and Kate are not here for some guy’s opinion to their age-gap, are the two I probably reread the most by them.
Sour Cherry by gutsforgarters, is a s2 AU where Kate is trying to lose her pesky virginity but Seth is not having it (at least not for the reasons she’s named), and I highly recommend the rest of their works too, they're so good! The Burn My Bridges series by openheart is excellent, Give Me the Stars by imaginedfables, who’s written many amazing SethKate fics, is basically my ideal domestic post-series headcanon, and a case of do or die which I didn’t realize was by the same author, an AU where a drunk Seth shows up at Kate’s doorstep.
A cute 5+1 fic about Seth proposing is Pop Goes the Question by madjm. I’m not big of flowery romance, but this leans heavily on the comedic side of things.
down the road a ways is more pre-SethKate, set right after season one and features Seth quietly freaking out, and Roses on the Devil’s Back by xXBeckyFoo is mild-AU where Seth and Kate slept together just before separating in season two, and when he finds her again its with their five year old daughter (not normally into fics involving kids, but this one is good), and finally Good Grief by waterfront, another mild-AU where Richie gets bitten by something that kills culebras and Kate has the cure to healing him, the first FDtD fic I ever bookmarked.
Send me a Top Five ask!

I have to ask when do u think Seth realized had feelings for Kate? Sometimes I wonder how things would have gone had he not left her...Maybe him and Sonja wouldn't even happen, maybe Kate would have gotten to meet Uncle Eddie!
I think Seth developed feelings for/an attraction to Kate at some point during the gap between Seasons 1 and 2. I don’t think he was full-on in love with her quite yet, because that kind of thing takes time, but I think he recognized what he was feeling since he’s been married before and knows what falling in love feels like. I mean, he had to care for her a great deal, or else he wouldn’t’ve been so fucking devastated when she died. 
and if you’re wondering how things might’ve gone between them had they not separated at the beginning of Season 2, then I highly recommend reading A Lesson in Navigation by Sandalaris. and, yes, Kate gets to meet Uncle Eddie.

SethKate Fandom Celebration 2017 
Day 11 (May 30th): Favorite Fan Fiction/Author
I'm a little behind with my posts but I figured it didn't matter as long as the SethKate celebration continues! ;)  
I'll admit that I don't read as many fics as I'd like to but these are some of the works that I remember reading and loving from beginning to end.  
Come From Way Above Series by liketogetlost
I love, love, love how this series is written! It deals with Kate's inner turmoil, guilt, and personal conflict as she explores her feelings for Seth perfectly.  She's assertive and dominant, which totally works in the context of the story and it has quite a satisfying resolve.
Wild by muchmorethanaprincess 
There is something about cabins and snow, and your OTP getting trapped together.  The tension in this one is amazing and the payoff is even better. It's one of my favorite one-shots.  I legit get butterflies thinking about it because I love it so much!
the good left undone by imaginedfables
Oh man, this one is so, so great.  More Mexican Honeymoon goodness!  Let’s be honest, when it comes to SethKate sometimes you don't need build up!  The writing style is incredible and unique and I’m in love.  But it hasn't been updated in a few months, and I'm starting to think it's living up to its name.  Hopefully not!
Mind the Gap by mishmashfandom 
Okay, I remember reading this and making inhuman noises while reading the dialogue.  I'm not into daddy kink fics but I could not stop reading this one! It's humorous and sexy, and overall a wonderfully written story.  I had to pause constantly just to catch my breath.  BRB going to read it again...
The Take by ArkStationsLibrary
Seth and Kate have history, and now the Geckos are back in town... for her.  I'm here for Seth Gecko getting what he wants, always.  And I love it when Richie tries to help his brother get the girl.  This story is pure perfection.  Wait for the ending, you will be grinning from ear to ear.
Without a Fight by TashanaAmbrosia
I can't even put into words what this one-shot makes me feel.  It has all the things I love about SethKate, tension, a heated argument, comfort and steamy goodness.  The writing is amazing and the ending leaves you wanting more! ;)
------
P.S. I'm very excited to check out some of the suggestions posted by others!  Also, I tend to be horrible at leaving comments, which yes, I'm totally ashamed of and promise to work on!  This fandom is lucky to have been blessed with magnificent writers.  You all are amazing!

Day Eleven: Favorite Fan Fiction/Author
Seth Kate Fandom Celebration 2017 (Saturday, May 20th - Thursday, June 2nd)
There are sooo many that I could point out here, since I write I have a huge appreciation for those that also write. I know the time and effort that it takes and each one of these are so beautiful in their own way.
Inside the Quilt of Your Hand by Duchamp Rating: Explicit  Summary: The point is this: Kate knows that no matter how much you love someone, you have to give them the space they need. If they want to be alone, you remove yourself. If they want quiet, despite how much you might want them to share with you, you give them the quiet they crave.
I love EVERYTHING this writer posts. She writes some of the most breathtaking and heartbreaking pieces. This is a personal favorite of mine. It is from Kate’s POV and it hard at moments, it isn’t entirely happy - but it is raw and it is real. The way she describes the love between the characters is simply incredible. She writes another piece: The Mighty - which is more Seth focused and does reference drug use. It is one of my favorite pieces of writing ever.
Burn my Bridges by Openhearts Rating: Teen - Mature Summary:  Kate thinks about asking “then what?” and she opens her mouth around the words before closing it again. She leans her head back against the headrest and lets her eyes slip closed. Seth is quiet now, for once, and she isn’t sure whether she’s glad of it or not. Isn’t sure she really wants to feel alone in her head.
So this is a series a three piece series - that if you have not read you NEED to. It is cannon divert and takes place after Season 1. Her Kate is so incredible that I was moved to tears. The moments between Seth and Kate are so hot and so real.There is a compliance to Seth that fits with his self-loathing and a openness to Kate that anchors the three pieces and makes it feel both surreal and honest at the same time. There are so many moments in these three pieces. The quote that haunts me “Show me.  The energy, when it’s like clockwork.” The whole series has unique take on what happens after Season 1 and ignores the other two seasons - but trust me... you will not regret reading this series
The Good Left Undone by  Imaginedfables Rating: Mature Summary:There's a story where she stays.
Canon divergent, because it’s the story where she stays. He doesn’t abandon her on the side of the road. I honest to god love Seth as a mild-to-complete disaster and Kate holding her own. Love this piece. And all my feels in that 4th chapter. Such a great piece. But really again this author is beyond talented, go read all of her amazing!!!!
Only Proof (That I Need) by  Caramelle Rating: Not Rated Summary: The thing is, as long as they're working a job, he has to spend a good three-quarters of his day calling Kate Fuller his wife.… Not that it's a chore, or anything.mBut, ultimately, it's fucking terrible, because he's officially stopped thinking twice before opening his mouth to say the damned words. Or, the one where Seth has trouble disassociating completely from the cover he and Kate employ most — that of Young Newlywed Couple.
Just read it! Just read it. It’s the lightest on on my list. All the fumbling puppy-Seth and Kate knowing exactly what’s up. Also LOVE how Seth is written. He gives great narration (that’s not inuendo ... I swear it’s not). Really again read any of her things. Love them all!!
Okay that’s a lot of words - as normal I cannot do anything in short form. These are all so lovely! Go read the things and show love to these writer that dedicate their time to giving us all the feels!

I saw on another blog you were asking for sethkate fic recommendations. One I've recently found that I didn't see listed on her recs is _stargazing_dreamer who you can find on ao3. How to Train Your Hellhound, Home for the Holidays, and her Sleepless Nights series especially the Glimpses of Geckos story which I re-read chapters of every day. I also really like her Second Chances which is a single dad Seth AU. It's WIP but almost 48,000 words so it's pretty long.
Hiii thank you, I actually do know those fics. Love them so much. ☺️ they’re great right?? I love dad!seth so much.

Tumblr media
yet another ridiculously long list of fic recs from me, mostly so I can keep all my favorites organized. There are so many amazing and heartbreaking and hot and funny and awesome fics in this fandom though.
Tumblr media
smoke signals by duchamp  (Teen, one-shot)
This isn’t some film reel. There’s no soundtrack or script to dictate blocking. No action or cut. This is real life and Seth’s flesh and blood and bone and the closest thing she has to a friend. She doesn’t want to ruin that. Not that she could.
Rules of the Mexican Honeymoon by TashanaAmbrosia  (Mature/Explicit, multi-chapter)
There are two phrases that seem to chase their conversations like a snake swallowing its own tail: Please and This is as far as we go.
Seth and Kate deal with the aftermath of Season 1 and the loss of their families.
Tequila Sunrises by oxymoronassoc  (Mature, one-shot)
They stop at a motel. They get one room. For some reason, she thinks this means they'll have two beds. But this isn't your mom's grocery store romance novel. There is one bed with an oily cover that he flings back with disdain before throwing himself down on the sheets, his suit still on. She falls asleep clutching the edge of the bed. She's not sure why, but she does.
The next night, she barely holds the edge of the mattress. He still wears the suit.
Boy, I'm a hurricane headed for you by ronsparkyspeirs  (Mature, multichapter)
Kate is a sinner but Seth is a bad man.
he told me i was holy by liketogetlost (Mature, one-shot)
Seth is almost like a wild animal himself when he fights. When it’s all over he’s panting, sweaty and covered in the vibrant red blood that seems to follow them wherever they go.
But when Kate looks at him she still sees a wounded bird, wings broken and left on the side of the road.
a fresh poison each week by devil divine (jaegerjagues)  (Teen, one-shot)
Seth has visions, but they're nothing like Richie's.
Burn My Bridges by openhearts (Teen/Mature, series)
Kate thinks about asking “then what?” and she opens her mouth around the words before closing it again. She leans her head back against the headrest and lets her eyes slip closed. Seth is quiet now, for once, and she isn’t sure whether she’s glad of it or not. Isn’t sure she really wants to feel alone in her head.
Come From Way Above by liketogetlost  (Explicit, series)
Kate feels like she’s tapped into his center, like she knows how to pull and tug at his strings. It feels wrong, like no one should have that much power over another person but Kate wants it, wants to be selfish and just fucking pull until he unravels.
there in the dark with our two hands by artemidos  (teen, one-shot)
they share things that they can't talk about when it's light out. it's not easy to bare themselves, but sometimes just before sleep, it happens.
flintlocked by waterfront  (teen, one-shot)
‘au where seth doesn’t leave her and instead they both go to uncle eddie’s for help and end up having a sit down dinner with richie and kisa.’ (season 2)
Eddie was family and family was the only thing that could set them on the right course.
affection. by djcotrona  (Mature, one-shot)
Two months after they left the Twister, they found themselves holed up in a motel, this one was a little nicer than the others. There was promise of a pool, but when they arrived they found it lacked water. The weather was hot, had been all day, and the air conditioner was broken.
and I am telling you / I'm not going by ameliajessica  (Teen, one-shot)
"Be my guest," he spat at her, reaching across to push the door open.
or: an alternate take on the few days after Seth and Kate were meant to go their separate ways in season 2.
somewhere i have never travelled by quiet_rebel  (Explicit, one-shot)
This isn't a love story. | Set after the events of season 1.
come on mess me up by artemidos  (Teen, One-shot)
“When was your rebellious phase, exactly?”
“You could say it was already in full swing when I met you.” And then she laughed and all that Seth could do was look at her.
from our own separate sides by kendrasaunders/Overdressedtokill (SkyeStan)  (Mature, one-shot)
there is only one bed in the motel room. this is nothing new.
down the road a ways by jdphoenix  (Teen, one-shot)
She’s got one of those faces, you know? Could be sixteen, could be twenty-one, could be anywhere in between. So he’s not really sure just how screwed he is.
opia by liketogetlost  (Mature, one-shot)
Opia - n. the ambiguous intensity of looking someone in the eye, which can feel simultaneously invasive and vulnerable.
WIPs
the good left undone by imaginedfables  (Mature, multi-chapter)
There's a story where she stays.
Carry The Ghost by imaginedfables  (Mature, multi-chapter)
This is what her beautiful life had come to. Dirty bathrooms in broken backroads and trembling hands with dried blood caked underneath her fingernails. A bag full of stolen money that she’d trade without missing a beat if she could only have at least one member of her family there with her for her to take comfort in. A baby growing inside of her from a man she didn’t know where to find and wasn’t sure she really wanted to, anyways. She is three weeks shy of turning eighteen, her whole family is dead or out causing death, and the father of her child is a heroin-addicted criminal: a wanted fugitive. Her mother was probably rolling over in her grave.
Valley of Decision by Pervymonk  (Teen, multichapter)
So things went fubar at Matanzas, and a mysterious woman sends Seth Gecko back to keep Kate from becoming possessed by Amaru. But can they stay together, or are they destined to be driven apart?
Tumblr media
the pale morning sings by seren_ccd  (Teen, multichapter)
Santanico Pandemonium breathes in the smell of a thousand souls worth of blood, but it’s Kisa that breathes out, gives the site one last look, and starts to turn the bike around. It’s the flutter of a white sheet trapped on the branches of a bush that has her pause before she turns back to look more closely. Kate Fuller stares back at her.
aka 'Kisa and Kate go on a road trip.'
blood money, blood money by kendrasaunders/Overdressedtokill (SkyeStan)  (Teen, one-shot)
seth and kate have a confrontation of sorts. how much does "i love you" cost?
until we hit the ground by Noducksinpond  (Mature, multichapter)
She remembered the blood flowing through her, the overwhelming need for revenge. Seth, Richie, Scott, you loved them so much and they used you until there was nothing left! Make them pay! Make them pay!
Worship like a Dog by xXBeckyFoo  (Teen, one-shot)
The four times Seth hears Kate after she's gone.
Transformation by OnlyInAutumn  (Mature, two-shot)
Richie turned Kate into a culebra at the blood well, and as a result of a guilty conscience, Seth offers himself up to her as Kate's personal blood source. As it turns out, Seth doesn't mind so much. Sexual tension and pining ensues.
WIPs
Find the Girl by quiet_rebel  (Explicit, multichapter)
Set after the events of the season 2 finale | It's a new empire, but who will rise up and who will fall?
Tumblr media
Timeline by xXBeckyFoo  (Teen, one-shot (long))
That look was in Seth's eyes again, the one that made Kate feel like everything in life had led them to this moment. To each other.
you can dance to lady gaga by waterfront  (Gen, oneshot)
it's Kate's 21st and the whole gang comes out to celebrate. but there's one thing Seth can't quite get over: Kate Fuller kinda said she loved him. Did she mean it? If he asks her to dance, could everything literally implode? (plus sequel where do we stand/here or on that sink?)
only proof (that i need) by caramelle  (Teen, one-shot)
The thing is, as long as they're working a job, he has to spend a good three-quarters of his day calling Kate Fuller his wife.
… Not that it's a chore, or anything.
But, ultimately, it's fucking terrible, because he's officially stopped thinking twice before opening his mouth to say the damned words.
dead ringers by duchamp  (Mature, one-shot)
Preacher’s daughter, he thinks. Thinks of songs about a girl that can’t be reached, some angelic idol not to be sullied; where in others she crashes down to earth, is revealed to be a reviled mortal like all other common folk.
make you feel like you've been blessed by arsonistlullaby  (Explicit, one-shot)
There is still a lot of shit they have to deal with, even after they’ve stopped the apocalypse. Or maybe because they stopped it, depending on which way you decide to look at it.
Home by xXBeckyFoo  (Teen, one-shot)
They say it takes seven years to grow a new body, so Kate counts the days until she doesn't feel like ripping off her own skin.
Pop Goes the Question by madjm  (Teen, one-shot)
Five times Seth asks Kate to marry him, and one time he doesn't.
we are fated to grow old by waterfront  (Teen, one-shot)
Scott is angry with the world until the day he isn't.
Seth and Kate's relationship through the eyes of her younger, vengeful brother. Based on a prompt: Scott's journey to realizing and accepting that Seth and Kate are in love
Wake Your Ghost by quiet_rebel  (Gen, Drabble)
If Seth could do things differently, would he? | spoilers for 3x07
WIPs
journeys end in lovers meeting by notahotlibrarian  (Teen, multichapter)
It's been a long road from Bethel to wherever Kate Fuller is now, but her journey is not yet over.
After Matanzas, Kate decides to take a road trip to figure some things out. But no matter what turns she makes, all roads lead back to the Geckos. But is it destiny or is it her choice?
Tumblr media
Good Grief by waterfront  (Teen, multichapter)
“But okay, fine, let’s say the answer to your problem isn’t with the girl you abandoned five years ago. The woman, or whatever, who can fix your brother lives in Bear Claw, Alaska.” Richie’s been bitten by something even culebras dare not mention. He’s dying. Unless Seth can repair his relationship with Kate, Richie’s a goner. Seems like enough motivation to seek out the girl you left naked in a motel room five years ago. But he left with questions unanswered, and with a new life built around her, Kate has secrets of her own. Seth should have remembered something he learned years ago: never underestimate Kate Fuller.
Catch Me Again by quiet_rebel  (Gen, multichapter, AU from early season 2)
“You caught me once; Maybe on the flipside, you could catch me again.”
bartered with bone by alamorn  (Teen, series of one-shots)
There's a thousand different ways Kate could have met the Geckos. They all start the same: preacher's daughter, criminal brothers. They all end the same: together and bloody.
When destiny catches up with Kate, she sees them all
let me go by writerlily  (Gen, one-shot)
Kate didn't think she would simply "hang around" after her death. She believed in Heaven and Hell and those were the only two choices for her.
She was wrong.
Born To Die by ArkStationsLibrary  (Explicit, one-shot)
Seth Gecko is an immortal who decides to make Kate Fuller part of his world whether she likes it or not.
Further Away by omqueenkay  (Mature, one-shot)
The one where Seth keeps calling Sonja by Kate's name.
The Road of Excess by KaelsMiscellany  (Teen, two part series)  (Richie/Kate /Seth)
In 1815 a stranger came to Bethel, Texas; and a few months later married the preacher’s daughter.
In 1816 he faced the firing squad for killing a murderer; and in that long winter his brother comes to town.
WIPs
like clockwork by writerlily  (Gen, multi-chapter)
she was not expecting something like this.
(soulmate tattoo AU)
These Eyes are Natural Disasters by kategecko  (Mature, multichapter)
She wasn't sure what they had done to her when they let the serpent bite her as she laid strapped to yet another altar but she could feel the snake’s poison flowing through her veins like molten lava.
profane words scrawled black across the sun by artemidos  (Explicit, series of one-shots)  (Seth/Kate/Richie)
live life for the moment by Roksed  (Mature, one-shot series)
No matter the distance, Kate and Seth always find each other again and again.
Alternate retellings of the TV series.
Tumblr media
alone / with you by artemidos  (Mature, multichapter)
suddenly there's someone in her room and a new voice in her head. she never wanted this. he never wanted it either. they're both screwed.
the heartland by silenceisnotmyfriend  (Teen, one-shot)
If her momma could see her now, she would say "God is many things." (Soulmate AU)
Cigarette Daydreams by imaginedfables  (Mature, multichapter)
They’ve been showing up at the bar on random nights for the past three weeks.
It’s pretty hard to miss them, and even if she wanted to turn a blind eye to the American brothers, their loud mouths (Seth) and the fist fights they (again, Seth) tend to start would give their presence away in a heartbeat.
(And, no, Richie, she doesn’t have any horchata.)
put me through hell again by liketogetlost  (Explicit, one-shot)  (Seth/Kate/Richie)
Two boys in black came to her town, wearing the skin of Preachers, like her daddy. They got real close to her father and the people of her church, conning their way into their hearts and wallets.
(Kate runs away with conmen Gecko Preachers.)
he said to 'be cool', but i don't know how yet by artemidos  (Explicit, one-shot)
Bare feet glued to the tiled floors that led into the room, she’d stood and stared for a good minute. His arms bulged with muscle and he wasn’t wearing a shirt. In fact she couldn’t see beyond the table to know if he was wearing anything at all. Was this the type of guy her mother always brought home? Men with tattoos curling up their arms who sat in her kitchen wearing next to nothing?
girl, i'm just trying to kiss your neck without a word by longhairandbarefeet  (Explicit, Two-shot)
Kate always thought it was boring, going to races and sitting in the box with her dad while he blabbered on and on about the business, but her interest soon began to peak at the sight of Seth Gecko on their team. a.k.a. au where Seth is a race car driver.
daisies and diamonds by theredhoodie  (Teen, one-shot)
The year is 1946. The war has just finished, crime in Southern U.S. is on the rise, and a young woman named Kate Fuller is stuck in a life of repetitive boring days. That is, until the night when she happens to meet a real-life bank robber.
To the Store, To the Store by caramelle  (Teen, one-shot)
the one where Kate somehow always manages to find herself at the same grocery checkout line as a handsome, surly stranger in black.
delusional by artemidos  (Teen, one-shot)
kate and seth work at the dew drop resort. although 'work' is a little generous a word to use for what seth does. kate accidentally becomes the only way to get him to come do his damn job.
This Could Be Easy by caramelle  (Teen, one-shot)
It's not that Kate was trying to get partnered up with Seth Gecko. Honestly, she wasn't.
She just happened to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and sorely under-informed on extenuating circumstances.
Or, the one where Kate is a newly minted detective, and Seth is the grouchy old-timer she gets stuck with.
String of Blinking Lights by madjm  (Teen, one-shot)
"I knew when I married you I was getting Richie, too, but I didn’t know I was getting my beautiful home turned into ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.’”
Don't Need Saving by the_stargazing_dreamer  (Mature, one-shot)
Strait-laced businessman Seth is spending the week in Houston and meets free spirited call girl Kate when Richie leaves him at a club. He doesn't need or want anyone in his life but his damn knight in shining armor complex is getting in the way of things. Kate is only in it for the money and definitely doesn't need or want some Prince Charming to come sweep her off her feet.
Sin by shadowglove  (Teen, multichapter)
When Kate meets her new neighbors, Seth and Vanessa Gecko, she immediately develops a crush on the handsome man. She does her best to fight her growing crush, but as she and Seth become friends, and she realizes that there is a LOT of trouble in Seth and Vanessa's marriage, Kate begins to fear that she will stop caring that her feelings for him are pure sin.
make you better by longhairandbarefeet  (Mature, one-shot)
“You heard me.” She replies leaning into him, close enough so he could smell the liquor on her breath, the same that lingers on his own. She swipes her tongue across her bottom lip, and loops her arms around his neck to pull him in to press an urgent kiss to his mouth. He doesn’t respond immediately, shocked at the simple and soft feel of her. His head is swimming, and he doesn’t know if it’s her mouth, hot against his own or the copious amounts of alcohol they’ve shared over the last few hours. It could be a little bit of both. a.k.a. the five times seth and kate have sex, and the one time they don't
WIPs
gun it coming off the line by artemidos  (Teen, multichapter)
seth and richie work for carlos finding and bringing in the people who owe him. they don't care about why and they never fail to bring someone in.
until kate, of course.
You Wanna Go To Heaven (but you're human tonight) by only_halfway_there  (Teen, multichapter)
If Persephone was a good little preacher's daughter, Hades was a Gecko, and the Underworld was somewhere in Texas, it might look a little something like this ...
From Hell With Love by corinnemaree  (Mature, multichapter)
She's an angel. He's a demon. She's supposed to save the world from the likes of him. Now she's on the run with him? Kate doesn't know how she ended up with Seth Gecko, but there are times where she doesn't complain about it.
this war of hearts by jynscassian  (Teen, multichapter)
Fate had a funny way of showing itself. Just when Kate decides that soulmates and destiny doesn’t matter to her, she happens to meet the very man whose initials are tattooed on her wrist.
blue and silver: the detective and her criminal by sarahandrelouise & waterfront  (Teen, multichapter)
It's an early morning line up and everybody is a little sleepy. Coffee is required. Flirting with criminals is optional.
Speak now, or forever hold your peace. by hasitsclaws  (Explicit, multichapter)
Seth Gecko is doing your usual, run-of-the-mill drug smuggling gig when he finds out he's going to be deported. His brother's solution to the problem? Get married, of course. All Seth has to do is find a nice woman willing to be his "wife" until he gets his green card, and Richie has an idea as to who's the perfect girl for the job.
Only problem is, Kate Fuller is a lot more than either of the Gecko brothers bargained for.
(Fake!Married AU)

Tagged by both @tuntematonkorppi and @myletternevercame, thanks for tagging me!!! 🥰
three ships: Always and forever SethKate. And for the other two today I’ll go with some more of my favorite partners in love: Hal/Maggie (Falling Skies)   and Audrey/Nathan (Haven) I have a TYPE, ok.
last song i listened to: Hit and Run by LOLO Maybe someday when I have way more time I’ll try and make the very weird over the top vid that plays out in my head whenever I hear this song.
currently watching: Still Fringe and Twin Peaks at the moment! And it is a very odd combination, my friends. Enjoyable! but very whiplashy in tone and mood to go back and forth between the two.
currently reading: Finished we are fated to grow old by
waterfront aka @youbecool, a Scott POV fic that pulls zero punches, and really digs into all that mix of anger and love that carries him through the show and beyond. I highly recommend it, it packs so much interesting insight into all the things he was thinking and feeling and believing, both the stuff we saw and the pieces of his journey we missed on screen! And I’m about to reread for the one thousandth time one of my all time favorites: A Lesson In Navigation by @sandalaris (WIP) which is such pitch perfect Kate (and Seth! And SethKate! and Everyone Else) that it makes me just ache. A deep dive into a different path for her in season 2 (with Seth by her side instead of on her own this time around, and her by his) as she grows and learns and adapts to everything life throws at her. I love that it explores how she stands her ground or fights back when pushed, not just the how but also the why, the battles she picks and the ones she lets go and how carefully and deliberately she weighs which is which. And the way she observes and examines and reassess new information and new feelings with such determination be true to both who she was and who is she becoming! 💖💖💖 This fic captures so much of Kate’s heart and her mind for me, her strength and her doubts and fears and beliefs, all the things I love most and find so fascinating about her, and I will always reread it when I miss her. Which is now.
how’s it going: emotional about the Fuller Siblings once again, and SethKate so more of the same 😂 Also wishing I wasn’t so tired by the time the day was done for me, because I want to make so many things right now, and write about 500 metas if I had the energy and ambition to do so. Oh well, tomorrow is another day!
Since I just played this a few days ago, I’m not going to tag anyone this time around, but if anybody wants to play, either for the first time or again, then I’m tagging YOU! If not, carry on.

What type of AUs are your favorites? Give a general description. Modern AU. I love realistic fics that have lots of angst too.
What makes you give up on reading a fic? Grammar and formatting. If the language and mechanics are terrible or the lines are squashed together I will not even try it.  
What makes you pick up a fic, what makes it sound interesting? I get a lot of recs from friends. Also just browsing. 
Name a fic that made you cry (or that made you come close). Winter by @eight-0f-hearts and currently this house isn’t a home by @colinschest
Name a fic that made you laugh a lot. Umm... Glimpses of Geckos by the_stargazing_dreamer

Do you leave reviews after reading fics? If so, what do they sound like? Sometimes. Normally I talk about what I like or what I am excited to see in upcoming chapters. I always thank them for taking the time out to write the fic. 
When you read a good fic, do you go to the author’s page? Yep.

Has a fic ever left you unable to fall asleep or think about anything else? I often stay up late to read fic like that. There have been several fic that ended up giving me life revelations. I remember one fic from the Roswell fandom that forever altered the way I thought about relationships. 
Are you good about keeping up when reading Work in Progresses? Normally, I am very good at it. I read it as soon as I get the notification. Recently, I haven’t been so good at it because of work and school. 
Name some of your favorite fic recommendations pages. @shady-swan-jones makes great lists for Captain Swan, as well as @timeless-love-story and @loving-cs-fanfiction.

All of, what I consider, the old school CS writers: @nowforruin, @killians-dimples, @xerxesrises, @startswithhope, @seastarved, @caprelloidea, @this-too-too-sullied-flesh, @initiala, @msgenevieve447, and @weezlywrites

im anon from last time about fdtd ITS SO GOOD and sethkate is so...Good like .... do you have any fanfic recs that you love? x
YESSSS im glad you love it!! i need to rewatch s3 tbh… anyway i can’t say I’ve read a lot of sethkate fic. partly bc of the age gap lol i think that may be the reason, i dont particularly like reading explicit fic of them (Yes i know they are now both consenting adults and I’m not shaming anyone who likes reading sethkate smut, it’s just not been my cup of tea)
but i firmly believe @wellamyblake characterizes them so so unerringly well in her drabble series Tales from a Mexican Honeymoon (set between s1 and s2, so if you havent finished s1 you might wanna wait).
Also read @mellamymake‘s drabble Is It Such a Problem? because it’s so IC and entertaining. She has a bunch of sethkate stories on her profile and she is a great writer in general so you really can’t go wrong there, if you want more.

People were interested in me doing a thing like this, so here we go! I figured I’d do a short little blurb about each writer, including one or two of my favorite works by them. So, in no real order (like, I literally randomized the list) here are some of the most talented people* whose art I’ve had the pleasure of reading:
*Please note that some of these people haven’t written for bellarke in a while! That doesn’t mean you should pester them about it! Appreciate the heck out of what they have written instead. Cool? Cool.
1. Maria @rebelprincebell AO3
Maria’s written a good variety of longer and shorter fics, and each of them is excellent. (She’s also an amazing human/friend, but that’s more of a side perk.) She’s currently writing Things We Shouldn’t Do which is what everyone wants out of a multi-chap, fake-dating, actors AU. Or for something shorter, check out T.O.P. S.E.C.R.E.T. for some friends-with-benefits/feelings-reveal goodness. And maybe if she loves me she’ll finish Let’s Go to the Mall but it’s nbd.
2. Steph @ofhobbitsandwomen AO3
I read The Squire (multi-chap, medieval AU) when I was pretty new to the fandom, and I’m still completely in awe of it. Steph’s also written a million other amazing bellarke fics, like this fluffy-af youtubers AU (and, recently, some fucking amazing Jyn/Cassian stuff, if you’re into that) so make sure to check out all of her incredible writing.
3. M @ahmren AO3
M’s writing is magical. At the risk of sounding cliche, it wraps you up and carries you to another world. I could survive on nothing but her collection of soulmate AUs for years to come. 
4. Chash @ponyregrets AO3
Chash has written a million and one amazing fics, so obvs read everything she’s written, but one of my particular faves is Some Cheese With That Whine. It gives me all the best-friends-to-lovers feelings. Amazing. Plus she likes all my posts when I’m flailing about ffx <3
5. Katelyn @nathenmiller AO3
Secrets is the only arranged marriage fic you ever need to read. Period. I also love this fluffy lil childhood-friends-meet-up-ten-years-later AU. Plus, on top of all the fantastic writing, K’s one of the incredibly hardworking ladies behind bff. What a girl??
6. Lana @marauders-groupie AO3
Lana’s another one of those writers where I know I’ll like everything she publishes. She’s like, the queen a soulmate AU’s. Her most recent one is here--a cool iteration where you feel whatever pain your soulmate feels. As with all the other authors here, don’t forget to check out all her other stories!
7. Kacka @katchyalater AO3
I discovered Kacka this summer, and her stories saved me from boredom on the countless train rides I was taking across Europe. By which I mean you should just read through everything on her AO3 page, like I did. Everyone loves a good coffee-shop AU, right? Check out Got to Find Those Extra Cups to Fill. She’s a fantastic, inspiring writer and an even lovelier human being.
8. Emily @prosciuttoe AO3
Emily had the nerve to make me cry by posting a canonverse fic, Hold This Heart Steady, today. So do yourself a favor and read that. Other Emily faves include: Your Heart Is Your Own (So Build Me A Home) and Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic (for all your Hogwarts AU needs).
9. Brianna @jvnscass AO3
Bri’s another one of the authors I first read when I joined the fandom! She doesn’t write much bellarke anymore, but it’s all still up on her AO3 along with a ton of quality Jyn/Cassian fics, if that’s your jam!
10. Nai @hiddenpolkadots AO3
Want canon-verse smut? Nai’s got u covered: Mouth Like Heaven, Kisses Like Stars. Or for something on the fluffier/hurtcomfort side, try the light that sits at the bottom of your chest. You literally can’t go wrong. She writes Jily too!
11. Kayla @kay-emm-gee AO3
Kayla’s the first person I ever considered my “favorite fanfic author” and the title still fits, even if I do have about a million “favorite” authors now. Full Circle is an older, post s2, fic of hers, but it’s undeniably still one of my faves. A more recent fave is: this is your heart (can you feel it). These are both canonverse, but she writes amazing modern AUs as well. <3
12. Meghan @bellamyfrecklefaceblake AO3
I feel like Meghan writes the best epic-feelings-reveal scenes?? Some faves are: A Drunk Mind Speaks A Sober Heart and You Won’t Get Rid of Me Without a Fight. I want to live in the feelings at the end of these fics pls and thx. (Also, hope your hand is doing better!!)
13. Mel @caramelkru AO3
Is it getting old for me to keep saying I like everything insert-name-here writes?? I’d stop, except that it’s TRUE. Mel is fantastic. Her last installment in Good Times Gonna Come is so cute I can’t actually stand it. Something In The Air (That Night) is also super good. (She also writes Sethkate and Jyn/Cassian!)
(Okay I’m running out of time for these last few--gotta get to class--so I’ll just do one fic rec from each writer, BUT they’re all such fucking talented authors. Everything they write is amazing.)
14. Katie @dreamingundone AO3
take a running start
15. Jazz @hooksandheroics  AO3
Out of All the Gin Joints
16. S @kinetic-elaboration  AO3
Since There’s No Place To Go
17. Amber @bilexualclarke  AO3
asleep in the bathtub (also, like... her blog title doesn’t lie)
18. Emily @kieraknighted  AO3
Walk With Me
19. Annie @clarkescrusade  AO3
those broken and delicate things
20. Julia @enoughtotemptme  AO3
Aurora Borealis
21. @queenofchildren  AO3
But We Fight For Roses Too
I also asked for some lesser known fic recs, so check these out!
Lay It All On Me by @peetaspikelets
The Thing About Pre-Med by theprincessandtheking
In My Dreams We Are Always Together by andsowemeetagain
OKAY PHEW. I think that’s everything. As a last note, don’t forget to appreciate your favorite authors! A comment or reblog here and there goes a long way. Kudos and likes are lovely, but not quite as tangible as comments and tags.
Happy Reading!
