Participants' Favourite Reads From 2024! Part One

This year (for the 2024 reading year) we decided to put together a list of 1-5 fics per reader who chose to contribute their favourite reads from throughout the year and share them with you! The list is wildly eclectic, but I have faith in them that they're excellent reads and I may even be trying out some new fandoms next year as a result! I do hope you find something you like!

Part One | Part Two

Juuls: I tried to find the authors’ handles on Tumblr but if I got you wrong, just let me know and it’s a quick fix! 😘😊 If you happen to know the handle of a fic mentioned, let me know as well! ❤️💙💜

@onceuponaswanqueen

Orchards by winlatter

Relationship: Harry/Ginny

This fic is set the summer of HBP prior to Hogwarts starting with flash forwards to post series.

A look at how Harry went from seeing Ginny as Ron's little sister to something more.

The Victors' Project by oisin55

A story for every victor (The Hunger Games), not compatible with Songbirds and Snakes.

The best piece of fanfiction I have ever read.

tell all the truth (but tell it slant) by susiecarter

Relationship: Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne

A fake dating fic that was so good it left me flabbergasted. I don't even ship this, i am not even in this fandom, but holy shit this was one of the best things i have ever read.

@Elvira_Kamgut

In tales or in history by @bisquared

Relationship: Bard/Thranduil

A 1001 nights AU.

Ship-to-ship combat by @pomeloquat

Relationship: Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne

The one where Clark starts writing Batman/Bruce Wayne fanfiction to pay his rent and accidentally falls in love with Bruce Wayne while being hung up over Batman.

Ni Partayli, Gar Darasuum (I Remember You, So You Are Eternal) by LeeTheHobbit

Fandom: Star Wars/The Mandalorian

A time travel fix-it, where The Mandalorian and friends accidentally travel back in time and land in the middel of the Battle on Korda VI.

@brandileigh2003

crimson rivers by @bizarrestars

Fandom: Harry Potter/Marauders era

Rating: Explicit (not so much for sex, though it's present; more for violence, etc)

Relationship: James Potter/Regulus Black and Sirius Black/Remus Lupin

So well written, one of my fave characteristizations of Remus, Sirius, and Wolfstar in general.

orange juice (i've been ready for you to come home for so long) by @raggedyponnd

Fandom: Harry Potter/Marauders era

Relationship: Sirius Black/Remus Lupin

Not Rated

Wonderful writing, emotions, some of my favorite tropes and disabled/chronically ill Remus and rep is so so important to me.

love finds a way by @littleoldrachel

Fandom: Harry Potter/Marauders era

Relationship: Sirius Black/Remus Lupin.

Jurassic Park crossover, getting back together trope, trans and disabled Remus. I didn't want to put this down!!

Rescue Me by @welfycat

Fandom: CSI: Las Vegas.

I read this fandom blind and it's such an amazing case-fic that it made me get into the show.

Cambion by callowyn (@cambionverse) & @thegeminisage

Fandom: Supernatural

Explores minor characters from the show that were left behind and it's so so good.

@sparkylurkdragon

The Sword Reforged by Ardil the Traveller

Fandom: The Legend of Zelda

Rating: T

Rec notes: An epic reimagining of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. It's an excellent fix-it fic, still in progress, but the author is very driven to get it finished, one week at a time.

Dream Girl by Teorwyn

Fandom: The Legend of Zelda

Rating: T

Relationship: Link/Marin

Rec notes: A novelization of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, with a twist: Marin realises she's in the Wind Fish's dream.

Hanging By a Thread by Arwriter

Fandom: Batman

Rating: NR

Rec notes: I'll let the summary speak for itself. Great angst-with-a-happy-ending even fandom-blind. "He pushed his way through the rickety hallway, shoving open the basement door and taking the steps two at a time. Only to freeze at the bottom, breath catching in his throat. They'd hung his brother from a noose."

@jandjsalmon

Missed Connections by @powerofadyingsun

Relationship: Cahir/Cirilla

Rated E, 7/7 chapters

A Modern The Witcher AU that deals with royalty with a side of ptsd thrown in. SO good. It was my first Cahir/Cirilla fic but won’t be my last because it was wonderful and I was VERY emotional reading it.

Pomegranate. by @theravenandtheartist

Relationship: Wednesday/Xavier

Rated T, 1/1 chapters

Wednesday is perfectly in character. Xavier is adorkable. And honestly, I just have a unhealthy love for Hades and Persephone. So while this is NOT a Greek Myth AU, the mythology does play into the story and I loved how it was done.

Folie à Deux by @cypresssunns

Relationship: Marta/Ransom -

Rated E, 1/1 chapters

A super delightful Knives Out fic. It is a “Marriage of Convenience/Ransom remains a sociopath but Marta kinda likes him like that” kinda fic. It was delightful and if you’re into co-dependency and couples where no one is really a good person - this is the fic for you!

our bodies are made of celestial light by @starlightafterastorm

Relationship: Osha/Qimir

Fandom: The Acolyte/Star Wars — Rated M, 3/3 chapters

Did you say SOULMATES?! Yes. Red string of fate. It’s absolutely gorgeous. My particular fave is how Qimir is written. Perfectly in character with what we got in The Acolyte. Just delish. AND soulmates. SO good. 10/10 would/will read again.

@42donotpanic

The Five Stages of Neighborly Affection wirtten by phonecallfromgod & youshallnotfinditso, and read by AlannaLioness (Fic and Podfic included).

Rating: T

Relationship: Matt Murdock/Foggy Nelson, Stephanie Brown/Tim Drake, Bruce Wayne/Clark Kent.

One of my favourite fics, with a whole lot of identity shenanigans, a mystery… and Foggy, who is just done with Vigilantes.

the head doesn't always rule the heart written and read by @flowerparrish

Rating: M

Relationship: Matt Murdock/Sam Winchester

A very cute and fluffy Soulmate 'verse that focuses on falling in love the old fashioned way and makes me squeal happily every time I listen to it.

A Thousand Paper Cranes written by @missmoochy

Rating: G

Relationship: Matt Murdock/Foggy Nelson

A sweet, slightly angsty fic about being too late and missing out on a chance.

Different Kinds of Love written by myself (Series)

Rating: Main fic is rated T, the oneshots are rated E.

Relationship: Clint Barton/Matt Murdock, Matt Murdock/Natasha Romanov.

A series about Love and how it can take different shapes and forms.

Fake Out by redbirdandbluebird23 — tumblr: @redbirdandbluebird23

Anonymous

Détraquée - Hystaracal

Harry Potter - Draco/Hermione - M - 728,097 words

One small thing Hermione does differently in 6th year leads to an avalanche of changes. This is easily one of the best fics I have ever read, and it completed posting this year. It's Hermione-centric but eventual dramione, told from her perspective (and therefore unreliable and full of her mental quirks), and I spent every update enraptured by the poesy of the writing style.

Peeta Mellark's Five Favorite Things to Bake - aimmyarrowshigh

The Hunger Games - Gen, but mild Katniss/Peeta, Annie/Finnick - T - 2,348 words

A study of Peeta during and after the Games, with the additional perspective time can give. This is a very short read but has so much packed into it. It's bittersweet but so, so filling.

my love, all we'll ever be is a tragedy - irridescence

Avatar: The Last Airbender - Katara/Zuko - T - 16,747 words

In which Zuko dies, goes back in time, and tries again. This one is full angst, but so beautifully written you almost don't care that you're crying about it all.

@secretsofthemourning

Fresh Blood (series) by @babygotbooks

Fandom: Wednesday (2022)

Relationship: Wednesday/Xavier

Rated E, 7/7 chapters in the series, and 4 stories overall, complete

Gothic Romance with serial killer!Xavier and cannibal!Wednesday in which Wednesday needs to consume human flesh in order to survive and sustain her life force and the subsequent tale that follows from their teen to adult years. (This can easily be used as a “coming-of-age,” character AU, or universe/story AU to complete the challenge requirement, or character has mental-illness such as PTSD.)

Put The Heat On by @darnold-longkid

Fandom: Hey Arnold!

Helga Pataki/Arnold Shortman – E, 23/23 chapters — (All characters are age 18+ and high school seniors)

A very horny Shortaki fic with a lot of heart. In which Arnold accident finds himself unintentionally playing the voyeur to Helga without her knowledge. Now he can’t stop thinking about her. Too bad he messed up their friendship last year, and she refuses to have anything to do with him.

(Perfect for tasks that need stories with ships of 75K words or more, most popular fic/ship fic in fandom, or a fic that references one of the five senses. Also perfect for classic “childhood friends,” “Enemies-to-lovers,” “Rivals-to-lovers,” “Friends-to-enemies-to-lovers,” or any combination thereof. Or a fandom that has not produced any canon content in the last 5 years (excluding Nickelodeon video games and such using Arnold, Helga, and Gerald etc.))

Stacy’s Cardamom by @babsvibes

Fandom: Bob’s Burgers

(Louise/Logan – M, 2/2) (Chapter 2 is bonus scene, if strictly reading Chapter 1, rating is T and can still be read as complete story) (All characters are aged-up and grown adults.)

According to Logan Bush, Louise’s mom has got it goin’ on. Or that’s what he wants her to think. Logan Bush is back in town and is spending way too much time at the Belcher’s restaurant and way too much time with his sights set on Linda. Logan is getting under Louise’s skin, but it’s not going the way he pictured. If everyone else can see past Logan’s charade, why is Louise still so oblivious?

(You can complete several of the tasks for LGBTQIA+ characters and stories with Genderfluid!Gene and Bisexual Louise, Can be used for month/week based writing/reading challenge as one of the chapters was included as a contribution to Louigan Week 2023, a pet not typically found in the fandom’s canon, or fic that takes place ten or more years in the future, if they’re there in the 2025 sheet.)

The Spider and the Fly by GoodMourningCoffee (myself)

Fandom: Beetlejuice

(Lydia/Betelgeuse – E, 2/2) (Chapter 2 is full trigger list and playlist, Chapter 1 is full story.)

A “fix-it”/ “what-if” fic in which Betelgeuse’s plans succeed. Mixes elements of the musical and the 1988 movie, but is predominately based on the movie. A gothic “romance”, dark fic/Dead Dove fic that is absolutely morally reprehensible with Betelgeuse and Charles both being absolute villains. Check triggers.

Can be used to satisfy requirements of canon divergent, “first fic in this fandom” by established author in other fandoms, fic that passes the Bechdel Test (and possibly the Mako Mori test? Mako Mori passing is questionable depending on perspective), character whump, good guy teams up with bad guy, or read fic from 10 different kinks/tropes, or fic title that comes from a song/song title.

[Let Me Try](Series) by coldcreation: Original omegaverse, M/M/M/M. Some of my favorite filth with way more feelings than should be allowed.

[In A Family Way] by puddleofgoo. Stargate Atlantis. M/M Crackfic with poor McKay accidentally acquiring a collection of color-coded, post-it note wielding squid.

[The Right Dom for the Job] by VelvetPaw. HockeyRPF, several M/M pairings. A favorite Hockey BDSM fic from a favorite author.

@slashmultiverse Daily Pride Prompt Day 6: Voyage

@julybreakbingo Prompt: Pirate AU

Up Here

Clint was standing in the crow's nest, leaning into Bucky’s embrace and watching into the distance. He let his gaze wander over the open sea.

Up here, where he was alone and could see for miles and miles, surrounded only by water and wind, he felt truly free and truly like himself.

Under him, the crew was busy. People were cleaning the planks, working on the sails, or fixing the damage the last fight had caused. Men were running around, yelling, and working loudly.

But up here, everything was quiet.

Clint’s hearing had never been the best, but after years of cannon fire and taking a few too many hits, he was barely able to understand human speech anymore.

But that didn’t matter up here.

Up here, everything was quiet anyway.

Up here, everything that mattered was how far he could see and how early he could make out land or other ships.

There was a reason Clint was the one sitting in the crow’s nest. It was the same reason they called him Hawkeye.

Clint had always had phenomenal eyesight.

And that was everything that mattered up here.

Clint looked down for a moment. He saw the chaos and all the other sailors working.

Sometimes, he thought back to the days he spent running around, cleaning, or fixing stuff. It had been good days, full of excitement and other people.

Still, he preferred being up here.

Up here, he met few people.

Sometimes Bucky would join him when the chaos between the others got too much for him or when he felt lonely.

But most times, Clint was alone up here.

On long travels, Clint could spend days up here.

Only climbing down to fulfil basic human needs or when he saw a ship they wanted to fight.

Otherwise, he would stay up here, being visited by Bucky every once in a while but spending most of the time on his own.

Up here, everything he had was wind and weather, and the open sea.

That was everything he needed up here.

Up here, Clint felt safe.

And being up here meant to be free.

Being up here was what being a pirate meant to Clint.

for the WIP guessing game: looking after 👀

I found a lot of "looking up" and "looking at" But no looking after...

Do you take this three sentences that feature the word "look" three times, including "looking forward"?

He looked at the piece of pastry in his hand. It looked delicious, filled with hazelnut cream and decorated with mini marshmallows. Clint had been looking forward to it since he had finished his last mission in the early hours of the morning.

Chapters: 1/11 Fandom: Daredevil (TV) Rating: Mature Warnings: Major Character Death Relationships: Matt Murdock & Franklin “Foggy” Nelson, Jonathan “Jack” Murdock & Matt Murdock Characters: Matt Murdock, Franklin “Foggy” Nelson, Jonathan “Jack” Murdock, Stick (Marvel), Margaret Murdock Additional Tags: Canon-Typical Violence, Character Death, Funeral, Hospitals, Abusive Stick (Daredevil) Series: Part 10 of Kill A Character Bingo, Part 7 of 26 Ways to break Matt Murdock’s Heart Summary:

“A Murdock never stays down,” Foggy said, looking over the painfully small group of people sitting in the chapel. “That’s what Matt lived by. Be it in the boxing ring, after a failed exam, or even one of the admittedly too many times we were out at night, strolling through the city and drinking too much cheap beer. He never stayed down.”

“A Murdock never stays down,” Jack muttered through the tears, dragging himself from the couch to tend to a screaming baby. “A Murdock never gives up.” A collab with @42donotpanic for @killacharacterbingo!

EVERYONE LOOK AT SOMFT MATTY!

THIS IS SO CUTE, I LOVE IT!

Relationship: Rahul "Ray" Nadeem/Matt Murdock

Characters: Ray Nadeem, Matt Murdock, Lester | Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter, Nihar Nadeem, Seema Nadeem, Tammy Hattley, Misty Knight, Colleen Wing, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones (Marvel), Danny Rand, Turk Barrett, Karen Page, Sami Nadeem

Additional Tags: Mystery, Character Death Fix

Summary: Ten days after taking a bullet to the head, Ray wakes up in the hospital: a family man with an absent family, a career man with a hopelessly tanked job. He's left to piece back together the life he counted on losing, a task that feels impossible until the collision course of his old life and his new one entangle, and Matt Murdock asks his help in investigating an art smuggling operation backed by an unknown player. The work makes Ray feel like himself again for the first time in months, even if working around Matt in particular holds its own unique set of challenges that Ray had to grit his teeth and ignore.

Surviving certain death means a series of repeated events: waking up, and doing it the next day, and the next, and the next.

--

If that summary doesn't make you want to run and read some delicious angst and mystery and getting-together fic, featuring a cast of legends including the one and only and beloved Ray Nadeem... *winkwink*

Fanart of the ship Matt Murdock/Ray Nadeem from the Netflix/Disney+ Daredevil tv show. The fanart depicts Ray and Matt snuggled up on a couch together, Ray has his arm wrapped around Matt’s shoulder and has his face turned towards him, while their legs are stretched out in front of them, socked feet propped up on a coffee table. There is a laptop on Ray’s lap and Matt has a blue cup lifted to his mouth, drinking something. Matt is dressed in an orange t-shirt, light grey sweatpants and forest green socks, while Ray wears a red t-shirt, khaki pants and dark socks with blue tips. They’re sitting on a dark brown couch, and either side of them are two big, red throw pillows, and a green blanket is thrown over the one arm of the couch. The atmosphere is playful and romantic, Ray is smiling softly at Matt, while Matt has one eyebrow quirked in a playful gesture.
