I love how even more unhinged this site gets when ao3 goes down. I hope you all survive.

Taken — Anakin Skywalker.
— CW: 18+. Smut. Toxic!Anakin. Blowjob. Toxic relationship. Dubcon (for taking pictures without readers explicit consent). | Word count: 1k (not proofread!)
— a/n: Follow up to this. I do not condone any of these behaviors. Don't let anyone do this to you, you are important and valuable and you matter. This is fiction :). Thanks to @sublimeflowerpersona for helping me and for always giving me the best ideas and contributing to my most fucked up Anakin fics <3.
Tumblr media
Scrolling through your phone, Anakin checks app through app, conversation after conversation, rereading messages to make sure he didn’t miss anything: a double-edged text, an insinuation, an extra heart emoji… anything. His legs were spread on your couch as you were settled in the middle, worshiping his cock the way he liked, the way he explained to you it needed to be done. Sitting there he looked almost nonchalant, as if it was his right as your boyfriend to invade your privacy and pry on your personal and professional conversations to make sure you were still loyal to him.
Meanwhile, you lower your mouth to fit one of his balls inside your mouth, sucking it gently and being granted with the slightest reaction in the form of a small grunt. His grip on your hair tightens, pressing you impossibly closer to his ballsack and forcing you to inhale the warm musk of his crotch. His cock lays heavy on your face, the throbbing base twitching with every little thing he found that proved that you were in fact still faithful. Opening your messages for the third time that night he scrolled from top to bottom, erasing the conversations he didn’t find interesting or important, before deleting the saved number. If you don’t text them anymore, why do you need them? You should be thanking him for always cleaning up your mess. You should be thanking Anakin for being a thoughtful boyfriend and making sure to keep unnecessary people away from you. They were just robbing you from giving him the attention he needed. 
Switching your attention to his cock, you wrap your hand around the base and guide the tip between your lips making sure to lick clean the copious amount of precum leaking. Anakin doesn’t say a thing but he pushes your head further so you might be doing the right thing— for once. “Who’s Brandon?” He asks, switching his attention from your phone to you, who is struggling to fit his whole cock inside your mouth. 
You try to reply but it is more of a rhetorical question— or so it seems— because the pathetic reply you try to give is muffled and melted into a choke that then turns into tears. Anakin rolls his eyes but you feel his hips jolting at the way your throat constricts around him. “Is it the new guy at work you told me?” With a weak nod, Anakin huffs. It is not your fault you are so nice and try to help to make everyone have a friendly and comfortable work environment. “Why is he texting you?”
This time is a real question and you can tell by the tone of his voice. Pulling out his length from your mouth, you keep your hand around it to stroke it making sure to not leave it unattended. “Laura is on vacation,” The girl from HR. “And my boss asked me to send him the new schedule.” To make sure you were telling the truth, Anakin read the conversation, his lips twitching to a smirk when he saw the PDF attached to your message explaining to this Brandon guy the new working schedule and dynamics for his new position. 
“Does he know you have a boyfriend?” Anakin reads his messages. Brandon is too nice for his liking. 
“Yes, he does.” You reply almost instantly. It is almost impossible for someone at work (or in any situation, really) to not know you are already taken, branded, owned; you have a picture of you and Anakin on your desk, your desktop wallpaper is a picture of you and Anakin in Disneyland, you wear a flashy gold necklace with a pendant shaped like an “A”, and he picks you up for lunch almost every day. Plus, he calls you every time you are about to end your shift to make sure you are still at work and that you are headed home once you leave the office. 
“Good.” 
Anakin instructs you to get back to your real work with a simple cheek pat, his smirk transforming to a wide smile as you comply. He checks your social media again, going through the comments on your pictures, the likes, and who follows you before checking your DMs and most importantly, your message requests. He groans as you deepthroat his cock, deleting all the requests with a trembling thumb. He needs to make sure everyone knows you are off the market for good.
Just when he is satisfied and ready to reward you for being such a good, loyal girlfriend, your phone buzzes in his hand causing his smile to falter. He sees Brandon’s name on the screen and his stomach twists in what he continuously denies to be jealousy. He isn’t jealous because there would never be anyone better than him, he isn’t insecure because he knows no one will give you what he gives you. No one will take care of his girl the way he does. He reads the message and opens it immediately, frows burrowing in clear anger at the proposal this dipshit dared to send you. Some drinks, he says, as a ‘thank you’ for being so nice, he says. Did no one ever treat him with basic respect so now he thinks he can hit on a girl who is clearly taken?
Anakin types a quick message before snapping a picture of you with his cock buried down your throat, making sure to capture how your glassy eyes look at him with pure adoration and devotion. He needs to make sure Brandon remembers you would never give him the privilege of your attention. In fact— this is the perfect opportunity for Anakin to insist on you quitting your job. You don’t even need it in the first place, he makes enough money to pay for your and his expenses and pay the bills. So as he sends the text declining his offer with that image of you worshiping his cock the way it was meant to be, he hopes this time he gets the message loud and clear.
Pushing your face until your forehead rubs against his lower abdomen, Anakin groans your name and lets your phone fall from his hand, shooting thick ropes of cum down your throat making you choke and dig your nails to his thigh, begging for him to let you go. 
“That’s the only fucking drink you need.”

Zyxyz’s Comprehensive Fanfic Rec List: 5/23 Update
yep! I'm back! update post once again shamelessly copypasteedited from the last time I did one of these here:                                                    
Way back in approx. December of 2013, I created a simple Word document to list my favorite fanfiction, so that if I wanted to reread something I could easily find it again. Five and a half years ago today, I uploaded it as a proper multifandom rec list, having realized how huge the scale of it had gotten and its potential as more than just a reference for my own use. And now, it’s time for the semiannual public version update once again, bringing the uploaded file up-to-date with my continuously-updated personal copy.
With this expansion, the list goes from 2,578 to 2,813 total fics, from 122 to 126 fandoms represented, and from ~53.4 million to over 58.7 million words. (There’s a stats section that goes into more detail on such things at the end of the list document, if you’re interested.)
Updated links below:

Just feeding my local author here!
I have reread your Gloom and Doom fic no less than 7 times
I have a sudden urge to see if nightmares goop is flammable now because of you after what he did to dust lol
I have literally fallen asleep reading your fics and got woken up by my heavy ass phone smacking me in the face
I have downloaded a pdf file of your whole story just so I can read it offline when I don't have wifi on my phone
I desperately wanna nap with dust on top of axe/horror while watching shitty TV shows (or true crime documentaries that's always fun!)
I also now wish to know what the readers favorite sushi equivalent would be irl
I need a Snickers...
Oh right! And while Dust has always been my favorite bad sans you have only deepened my obsession with him lol
10/10 would probably make him my go to skeleton out of all the boys in the castle for some company
I now have the inexplicable urge to make pillow forts of my own every time I dare read an Undertale au fanfic and I entirely blame you
I now have issues sleeping without making my 'Ilxina Nest' of snacks and bad TV while intermittently checking to see if you updated (not rushing you I am just paranoid that I'm going to miss a chapter and be the last to know about it lol)
I have officially adopted the name 'naptime' as the 'nickname' for reader because honestly... Dude fucking same man 😩
I used to raise chickens and mine were the sweetest things (all incubated and hand raised) and I literally could walk into their nesting boxes and take eggs right out of them without them having a care in the world and your little bit of having reader help gather eggs sparked this memory (I gathered eggs in the evening since they laid throughout the day... And it was always hot in the summer lol)
I feel like killer is plotting to do something something to reader and I refuse to be told otherwise... Shenanigans and dusts murderous rage is bound to make an appearance at some point lol
Lol hope you have a good day/night, stay hydrated, and get plenty of sleep (we all know that last one is a hope in vain since you're an author but still lol) 🫀
I am nourished and fed and writing the next chapter.

I just want to say that I completely understand and support your decision to stop writing steddie fics after March 2024. It is really admirable that you can notice when you are close to burn out and see when you need a break from something that you have been completely immersed in for a long time. I will miss you dearly, but what you have already contributed to the fandom is just so amazing and masterful that I know I can go back to reread your works when need be.
For the stories that are in progress now, do you plan on posting them to ao3 and then making the pdf version of them like you did previously for your other fics? I would love to bind all of your books and let them have their own section on my book shelf one day.
Also, have you ever thought of publishing novels? The way you write is so eloquent and lovely, something like I have never read or experienced before.
-🍓
Hi! Thank you so much. This is honestly SO kind, and I know I panicked people when i said I wasn't writing Steddie for myself past March 2024 but I'll still be here, I'll still be writing and absolutely releasing books and sharing new creations with anyone who likes them!
I will have completed ALL currently incomplete works but then. This is one of the reasons why I'm giving myself a specific date, so i can focus and work towards completion.
As with all my fics, they will live forever on AO3 and I will make PDFs for all the main ones, for anyone who wants them, they'll be on my linktree!
I do absolutely plan to publish my own original works! I have a book im releasing soon called 'HIDE' and there are details scattered through my Tumblr about it, and on my Patreon! 🥰💞✨️

Hi! I believe you were the person who wrote asylum? It was a sanders sides au from back when I was in like the 5th grade. It was a huge part of me getting into writing and then poetry and art and somewhat triggered a chain of reactions in my life and I was wondering if there's a way I could read this fanfiction again? It would truly mean the world to me
Hoo boy, that was the first fanfic I ever really wrote. First long fic, first series, when I was thirteen.
So, the first book got rewritten two years ago and I started rewriting the second, but I guess I kind of lost motivation on it. I want to keep rewriting it, but every time I think about that series the cringe nearly kills me. There have been times where I thought about deleting it from my AO3 because there's obviously a lot I did wrong there and that fic is no longer a reflection of my skill or who I am as a person, but I've never been able to. Sentimental value, I guess, like those pictures your mom keeps of you as a baby in the bath that you hate but would never be able to stomach throwing away. But you just can't look at it, y'know?
This ask changed that.
I thought no one liked that fic, no one remembered it, because it was absolutely bad. So why put in the effort to fix it, y'know? Why try to fix a dumpster fire if no one cares that the dumpster is on fire? I had no motivation to improve upon this series, my first series, because I thought it wouldn't matter. But this... you are eager to reread it. You want into my inbox off anon and told me how much you like it, how much you want to reread it... this means the world to me, man. This reignited me wanting to fix it.
Thank you for this. I'm going to keep rewriting it, I'm going to finish it. I wish I could properly express my gratitude to you. The first book, Asylum, is already rewritten (though it probably needs rewritten again,) and part of Survivor is, and eventually it all will be. Thank you.
Wow, I really just unloaded on you. I am sorry about that, I just want you to know how much this means to me and how much I want to thank you.
As for where you can read the series, it's on my AO3, Callie_Girl. Here's a link but, because of the whole AI issue, my account is restricted. You won't be able to access it if you don't have an account
If you don't have an account, feel free to send me another ask or shoot me a private message and I can send you the PDFs. Some of it won't make sense because of what I changed when I started the rewrite, but I'm working on that now.
Everyone, by the way, this is why you comment. This is why you tell the artist you liked what they made. I can't stress to you how important this was to me, how happy this made me.
Thank you so much for this. Thank you beyond words.

Do you have any favorite edbella fics that you would recommend?
ohhhh this is embarrassing....... i haven't really read fanfiction since i was in grade 9, and back then i read it for two reasons: i wanted to see the characters from twilight in a more lighthearted setting, and i wanted e/b to smash lol. so my taste for fanfics is kinda stuck in 2011, and i never branched out much
my humble rec would be the one i mentioned in my tags, edward wallbanger, now published as wallbanger by alice clayton. it's a steamy romcom and it's not a literary masterpiece but i've reread it about 5 times and have a blast every time. i absolutely adore this woman's humor. i own a copy of the published version (in spite of the absolutely atrocious cover that doesn't match the vibe AT ALL 😭) but still have a soft spot for the original fanfic as it includes extra scenes from edward's POV that are super fun and endearing. i still got a pdf of the original so if you wanna check it out, hmu
i also really liked this one shot called five nights which is like... no thoughts, head empty, characters are horny and the writing style mirrors meyer's so well (in a good way) that i feel like it could effortlessly fit in the eclipse canon.

hi i just have to thank you for mentioning Not Easily Conquered! i don’t even usually read stucky/marvel but oh my god i cannot stop thinking about that fic even though i finished it four days ago. i think it changed me forever. so i have to know if you know of any similar fics, either stucky specifically or that level of quality in any fandom bc clearly you’ve got great taste lol. ty in advance! <3
oh wow i’m so glad you liked it! it ruined my fucking life when i was a 16 year old stucky stan and even now when i dislike them there’s just something special and insanity inducing contained in that fic. it’s one of the most romantic things i’ve ever read in my life and i will never be over it. and thank you for the compliment >:) the secret to good taste in fic is only read fics that have been thoroughly vetted beforehand
as for other fics…ummm to be honest i don’t really read a lot of fic. i don’t know of any stucky fics that are on the level of nec but i can list off a few well-written ones that i remember being my favorites
no matter how long the day is (i’ll come home to you) by alby_mangroves and talkplaylove: steve is the regular canon captain america struggling to adjust to modern day life. he meets bucky, a civilian bookshop owner, and they bond while bucky helps to ground him in modern life
thirty-eight days and counting by thecommodore_squid: bucky is in witness protection and steve is the agent assigned to protect him. posing as his husband ofc. clintasha is there as a supporting couple
various stucky fics by thebrotherswinchester: these fics were all deleted from ao3 bc the author started publishing real books but you can download the pdfs from that link. i don’t remember the plots of most of them but i know they were well-written. the reason i bring them up is bc this author wrote one of my favorite fics ever which i’ll mention later
where there’s no end or need for goodbyes by buckyjerkbarnes: bucky is a lighthouse keeper and steve washes up on his island after a storm one day. bucky patches him up and they start to get to know each other. i really debated including this one bc it was my white whale when i was in the stucky trenches. it’s a wip that was abandoned halfway through and steve and buckys relationship isn’t even close to being resolved. but the writing is good enough that i think it’s worth the lack of closure and you can just like imagine for yourself what happens next
for other fandoms
i’m assuming you know the spn classics but my personal favorites are and this, your living kiss and so says the sword
this could be a city by cherryice: spn, deanbenny. i have to spread the deanbenny agenda or i’ll die. alternate s8 where benny stays in the bunker. examines and begins to dismantle the tenets of monster hunting. found family galore. plate tectonics. my deanbenny scholar bestie swears by the rest of cherryice’s fics too but this is the only one of theirs i’ve personally read
tell me about the big bang by thebrotherswinchester: star wars, finnpoe. post-tfa character study of finn adjusting to. like. being a person instead of a stormtrooper. it was written before tlj so there’s no reference to any of that bullshit. this is the fic i mentioned before. its one of my favorite fics of all time and i reread it yearly. it’s got a few off moments but if you’re not a militant finn stan like me they won’t bother you
i loved you first by thirdactlove: tenet, protagoneil. only read this one if you’ve seen tenet as it won’t really make sense otherwise. follows neil before, during, and after the events of the movie and details his relationship with the protagonist. the sequel follows the protagonist and does the same from his own pov. had me writhing around in my bed at 3am out of misery and lovesickness

I read all my destiel via ebook so download mobi format I’ve recently rereading For Every Alpha an Omega by thepopeisdope however their ao3 has been deleted do you know anywhere I can get their other works even in pdf format? Thanks for this it’s a great idea to keep these fics so that others can enjoy them.when I have time I’m going to download my bookmarks to pdf so I won’t have this problem in the future!!
I have (I think) everything they posted (as PDF - I primarily archive PDF). I can send them wherever, just need an e-mail address. <3
And yes, definitely back up your bookmarks! Esp cause I won't distribute things I have if the author asks me not to, so having your own back ups is important!

37 and 40 for the writing asks!
37. Promote one of your own “deep cut” fics (an underrated one, or one that never got as much traction as you think it deserves!). What do you like about it?
Let me introduce you to Hold My Hand When This Ends. I fully understand why it never got much attention - nobody knows the characters, the pairing is very niche, the subject is... well, problematic. But why it's dear to my heart... it's one of the rare fics that simply appear out of nowhere and demand to be written, and this almost felt like memories of a past life I simply transformed into a story. The style is also very experimental and different from my usual way of writing.
If you ever decide to read it, I recommend Hel nazazu eskutik by Ken Zazpi as a soundtrack. The title is taken from that song.
40. Do you tend to reread fics or are you a one-and-done kind of person?
I tend to reread, I mean... if it's one of my favorite fics, I've probably read it a hundred times already. My history on AO3 is constantly repeating and I have my absolute favs downloaded in PDF out of fear of losing them.

Anonymous asked:
Happy holidays you guys! Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season. Here's a fun question for all of you; If you were stuck on a desert island and could only bring one fic to read, which would you pick and why!
LYNNE
My favorite story ever, is Everyday, but honestly if I had to have one to comfort me over and over again, it’d be Where There’s Smoke. That story just wraps me up like a warm blanket. Love it.
Where There’s Smoke by stoney  [also on LJ]
Fireman AU, set 7 years after graduation. Kurt is Kurt, except that he never met Blaine Anderson. Blaine grew up in Brooklyn with his mother and firefighter father. Rachel and Kurt have graduated NYADA, Kurt gained a Masters from Tisch, and now they’re in their first post-college apartment together ready to tackle their dreams. Unfortunately, Rachel never learned how to properly cook and almost sets their new house on fire. Enter Dreamy McFirepants.
Note: The fic is locked on AO3, meaning you need an AO3 account to access it.
PDFs:
Where There’s Smoke
Saying Goodbye to the Engine Co 204
And Hello to Station 114
A Love I Can Be Sure of
~~~~~
MARJAN
I’d go with a fic that isn’t finished, but so lovely to read, again and again:
Model Behavior by @themuse19
AU, set in Kurt's freshman year of college. Kurt has never met Blaine. Burt's heart attack left Kurt concerned about his father's health so he put his dreams on hold, but a surprise opportunity may be all that Kurt has wished for and more.
As I said, this story is still unfinished, but there are 124 chapters of wonderful story-telling and worldbuilding, so it’s well worth reading. And it doesn’t stop on a cliffhanger at all, so it’s quite safe to venture in :-) Give this amazing fic a try if you haven’t so far. I promise you’ll love it!
~~~~~
HKVOYAGE
Crowded House by kellyb321
All of your favorite Warblers and a few new faces, too. Follow our boys as they start their lives in NYC, each couple facing their own challenges, heartbreak, self-discovery and redemption. Stick around as they realize support, acceptance and most importantly, true love can all be found in one big Crowded House. Heavy on the Klaine and Niff.
I picked this fic for several reasons.
1. It's 924, 400 words long which would keep me occupied for a very long time.
2. There are so many sub plots that I could reread this story and still be interested.
3. It has the perfect blend of fluff, smut, angst. I absolutely love Kellyb321's special brand of humor.
4. The Warblers. Niff. Great Sebastian. Cooper.

So, explanation on why all of my stories have done the *poof*.
Last night, I received a multitude of comments, mainly on IINHF. OII? but on a few other fics as well that were… pretty bad. I’m not sure why or who or how but for some reason a few or a group of people decided that commenting very negative things on my fics was a good idea. I’m unsure of IINHF was shared somewhere and it upset people or what tbh.
But, being me, panicked when several comments appeared that went along the lines of “this is some of the worst writing I’ve ever read”, “of course an addict would write something like this”, “this makes me sick”, and “you should kill yourself”, among other things. I mean I ✨panicked✨, broke down, couldn’t really keep up with all the comments that were coming in (there were a lot), and decided in the moment that deleting everything was the best idea. 😅
I understand that when a piece of writing gets somewhat “popular”, especially in a fandom, there’s bound to be someone who doesn’t like it. Which is fine, I’ve always had the mindset of “to each their own” and appreciated if someone gave one of my stories a try, even if they didn’t like it in the end. I’m unsure if the topics I wrote on is what made some people so upset or… I’m not sure honestly.
But yeah, the stories aren’t gone forever I’m just… gonna need a little bit to recover from that. I think I’ll eventually repost them, a few chapters at a time. (Gives me a chance to go over everything and fix things I’ve wanted to fixer rewrite/rephrase for a while so I guess that’s one plus with the whole situation. Not a very big one but, bright side right?)
I think I’m definitely going to need a little time to get over my newly created anxiety of posting any writing now though.
Thank you all for your support and I apologize for deleting everything in a panic. I know some people were reading it, rereading it, and whatnot when it was deleted. I have pdf versions of the stories I can send to people if anyone wants them in the meantime. Just let me know.

Any Klaine fic recommendations?
I read more wlw pairing fics but Klaine has like 17k on AO3 so I figured I’d try some out
ohh yes i do. this list ended up pretty long so i hope theres something you enjoy
shorter fics (under 10k)
(b)romance by klaineanummel (@klaineanummel)
kurt and blaine meet at a party and become friends. kurt eats 35 diet pudding cups. somewhere along the way they start dating
You Know I'm Waiting For You by readfah_cwen
this one is great because it has blaine being friends with all the girls. and the girls are amazing. also awkward flirting
Until Our Stitching Unravels by AntarcticBird
this one is just fun. it’s about kurt puppet and blaine puppet getting married and what’s not to love about that (you do need an ao3 account to read this one though)
Boop by lovetheblazer
a reaction fic to tested and just a lot of fluff. i’m not even the biggest fan of fluff but i can make an exception for this one
Heresy by mailroomorder
im not actually sure how to describe this one. it’s an au. it’s kinda haunting. it definitely left me wanting to read more. i’d say it’s definitely worth checking out
Welcome Home by justgleekout (@justgleekout)
i love this one. it’s pretty much just kurt picking up blaine from the airport but it’s so adorable and good
longer fics (pretty much everything between 10k and 100k)
The Hating Game by coffeeorder (@coffeeorderwrites)
this fic is so good. enemies to lovers with kurt and blaine (but especially blaine) being oblivious idiots. and it made me permanently feel a lot of emotions over kurt calling blaine cheddar so theres that as well
id say check out all of her other fics as well but especially Warbler's Lonely Hearts Radio Show which is currently still a WIP but amazing and hilarious and definitely worth checking out
now I know my ABCs (next time won't you sing with me) by villiageidiot
all the tropes. literally all the tropes. it’s a collection of aus and all of them are amazing
Don’t Do It by BeautifulUnseen
kurt is an idiot. that’s the fic. he works for a letter-writing service and pretends to be the guy blaine is dating. his only job is to not be caught and to not fall in love with blaine. things don’t go according to plan
Pride & Prejudice & Superheroes by a_simple_rainbow
blaine develops superpowers. he also really can’t stand kurt. the feeling is mutual. somehow they work it out in the end
eighteen going on extinct by klaineanummel (@klaineanummel)
this is basically a mamma mia au. kurt is quinn’s child and wants to find out who his father is. blaine is the new transfer student. it might not sound like it from just this description but this fic is kinda dark sometimes so i’d encourage you to read the tags
Sum-verse by flaming_muse
im just gonna rec all the flaming_muse fics here. but this one is especially cute in my opinion. it’s canon compliant and covers a lot of the missing klaine moments between original song and the end of season 2
Friends in Low Places by Esperanto (@esperantoauthor)
blaine is a bad boy (or at least something resembling a bad boy). kurt meets him in a dumpster. and if that premise alone isn’t enough to convince you there is also a podfic version available (even if the podfic isn’t finished yet)
Sing to me Instead by heartsmadeofbooks (@heartsmadeofbooks)
another author where i encourage you to check out all of her works. but i chose this one because roommates au. with a lot of drama and a lot of slowburn. it’s really good
the really long fics (over 100k)
Near Misses by flaming_muse
another flaming_muse fic because i love this one so so much. it’s an au in which kurt and blaine never met in high school. now they’re going to the same college and almost immediately get off the wrong foot after they hook up at a party. this fic is basically a lot of miscommunication but i can’t stress enough how good it is
All The Other Ghosts and it’s sequel Grey by rainjoy (i linked the posts where you can find the pdf and epub versions of these fics but here is also the podfic of All The Other Ghosts)
atog is a classic and im pretty sure that most people can agree that it’s amazing. it’s a superhero au and i don’t even normally care that much for superhero aus but this fic is still one of the best things i’ve ever read. basically kurt is the ghost of new york. blaine is a fanboy who also has some powers of his own. they meet and everything starts to escalate from there (fair warning this fic gets really dark)
Hell & High Water by mmerainbows
full disclosure i haven’t finished this one yet but i read the first half and i remember it being very good and i definitely plan on rereading and finishing this fic. it’s a dystopian au in which the world has been taken over by the others. kurt is just trying to survive but then blaine shows up and things get complicated

what are your favorite H/L fics?
Anon, thank you so much for that question, because it’s my favourite question in the world. Sadly, it is also the most difficult one to answer, because since I’ve joined the fandom in 2015, I have lived and breathed fanfic. I read on the way to the bus, on the bus, in bed, in uni classes (sorry), on holiday, on work breaks, basically every minute I can spare. So I know my 952 bookmarks may look like I use them instead of my Marked for Later list, but I actually don’t. These are the ones that I’ve read and would rec! 
Asking for favourite fics always brings the danger that people only rec the classics, so I’m trying to reduce it to a few, but I know and loved almost all of them! So instead of trying to rank my faves, I’m trying to give a bit of an overview of what kind of fics I like and I would love to rec more specific fics, if anyone is interested! Please always ask!
So first, my absolute favourite fic of all time. I have read it at least ten times, no exaggeration. It is, indeed, a classic: Unbelievers by @isthatyoularry
Second of all, my favourite “older fics/classics”, I’ve tried to choose three, so it’s been a struggle: my heart is breathing for this moment in time by usedtothebeach, Who Painted the Moon Black by throughthedark, and Run Like the Devil by benzos
Next up, my favourite trope in the world: long fics about Omega!Harry. I’d like to thank all the authors who’ve written so many amazing fics with this trope recently, because there has been a lack of them for a long time! Face Your Fears and Just for Tonight (I can be yours) by @sadaveniren, Say Something by @kingsofeverything, A Distant Hazy Light by @greenfeelings, Pretty Please (With Sugar On Top) by @angelichl  and But Please Don’t Bite by shyserious (this one has been deleted but I can send you the pdf if you message me off anon!)
This one has got to be its own category, because in 2016, the time where I was most active and involved in fandom, I’ve been obsessed with everything by @alivingfire. The one I can reread time and time again is Inconceivable (this woud actually also belong in the comfort fics category), but of course Hiding Place and Say Hallelujah, Say Goodnight are absolute masterpieces and I need to mention them. I can’t really choose favourites here, I love all of them equally!!
Another favourite category of mine is Girl Direction! There have been almost none of them when I first joined the fandom but thankfully that has changed lately! My faves are Harriet and Louise by @newleafover, Daisy Chains and I Must Confess (I Still Believe) by @alienfuckeronmain and Kiss the Girl by @hazzabeeforlou!
I have a few comfort fics, so many in fact, that I once started drafting up a rec post for them specifically, but I’m going to mention 3 again: Loathly by orphan_account, blend into my favourite colour by @rainbowninja and Watch Him As He Goes by LoadedGunn
And at last, here are 3 fics that I’ve enjoyed recently! adjudication by @bottomlinsons, gathered on wings by @twopoppies and we can only look behind by @hereforlou
This post has been hard. I’m now sad because I have not recced so many of my favourite fics, so if anyone’s interested, I could definitely do more of these posts! Thank you for asking!

Hey! I've been your follower since u wrote AT fanfics and because of your work, amongst other beautiful fanfics I've read over time, I've really wanted to try making my own.
I was just wondering what books have u read since u wrote Pray for the Preacher's daughter? Also do u have any book recommendation for newbies in creative writing?
English isn't my native language so sorry if it's a bit confusing to read
dang son that's a long time to be following me. like. a long time. wow hi nice to still have you here in spite of... fandom hopping and all that haha. thank you, i'm always so chuffed to hear someone likes my writing, literal day-maker tbh, god bless ♥
i uh... haven't read as much recently as i might like actually. i find it hard to get invested in new books and my living situation doesn't give me room to be storing books anyway. mostly i just reread a few of the ones i have pdfs of.
for book recs, i find those real hard to give out actually, mostly since people have different tastes you know? what do you like, mate? haha
still, for the simple fact of learning about writing styles i can recommend a few series/authors. this is not an exhaustive list, it's just some books i think have nice writing.
for the simple fact that the show is airing rn and i have it on the brain: if you can find a copy of robert jordan's wheel of time series (and you have the stomach for a monolithic 14 book series that gets real boring and slow in the middle ngl) you should definitely read it. world-building, characterisation, various cultures, all that is really good. his descriptive writing is out of this world and i guarantee you'll learn more new words in the first book than you might think. i know i did. just. really good jumping off point for third-person story-telling.
if you make it through those books and you're like, huh. what else? do yourself a favour and read literally any book by brandon sanderson. he finished the wheel of time books and like... you can't go wrong with any pick of his books. the mistborn trilogy will give you FEELINGS, but if you're after a stand-alone novel, i can not recommend warbreaker or the legion books enough. they're short, they're punchy, and his magic systems are always breathtaking.
kj taylor's fallen moon trilogy is quite good, excellent if you're looking for How To Write Convincing Villains. the author herself is a delight as well if that matters at all lmao. can't speak for the follow up trilogy bc i haven't read it but i'm sure it's just as good. (also she's aussie which always delights me, love a good aussie author)
also do yourself a favour and read the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. douglas adams was a master wordsmith and the books are so much fun. it's one of the few hard copies i have here in england bc i just love it so so much. never fails to make me laugh.
if you're more into crime stuff, i do recommend karen slaughter. i've only read a few of her books (courtesy of my mum who's an avid fan) but the ones i did read were thrilling cover to cover.
i guess my best advice is to read widely? my typical fare is fantasy, i'm such a ho for a good fantasy book, idk if it's obvious in my fic writing but that's where my soul lives, it's what i first started writing (literally my very first original writing was some stupid knock off of the dragonlink series).
go grimdark gothic and pick up brent weeks' way of shadows books (incredible covers is why i picked them up and the story did not disappoint). traumatise yourself and read stephen king (i've read just a few of his but 'the outsider' was so gripping i legit stole it off my mum for two days to binge read it and she got mad at me). read some kristin cashore books (bitterblue is fabulous, just saying) and enjoy your tropey fantasy. i've got 'everything leads to you' by nina lacour and 'the abyss surrounds us' by emily skrutskie and like any of malinda lo's books and OMG 'the memoirs of lady trent' by marie brennan.
and uh. don't forget to keep reading fanfics haha. much of my writing style is grounded very firmly in the third person fantasy from whence i came, but my transition into present tense is fanfiction's fault entirely baby. and you pick up tropes - my foundation stones! - much better in fic because it distils them down nicely i feel. people who've been writing fic a while already have a feel for the tropes that make stories work so you might have to pay a bit more attention when you start out, don't worry about it, that'll come naturally with practice. which you gotta do.
also also, dictionaries and thesauruses are your friends. thesaurus.com is part of my dna now. go there. sign up. word of the day yourself. it's great stuff and even if you don't remember all of them, adding a few new words to your arsenal now and then can't hurt.
just practice. experiment with what you write and how you write it. not everything you type has to be published either. lord knows i don't post any of my personal work anywhere and half my fics never see the light of day either. write for you and have fun.
hope this helps somewhat. feel free to hmu if you wanna ask anything else lol i know i got a bit longwinded my bad ^^;
