recthething | Rectember - Fics I Keep Rereading

A handful of fics I come back to again and again, from a variety of fandoms.

The Timeline of Theseus by Applea [The Magnus Archives - Elias & Jon - 80k words, WIP]

Jon travels back in time, and the Eye now has an 8 year old Avatar who doesn't realize that he has powers. Elias doesn't trust him to anyone else's supervision, so he adopts him. I've only been in TMA fandom for a few months but I've reread this like half a dozen times, at least. It's a very fun romp. (Major spoilers for TMA.)

The Moon Laughs by Lady_Origami [The Umbrella Academy - Five & The Hargreeves (but especially Klaus, Ben, and Vanya) - 94k, WIP]

Five is stuck in a timeloop, starting from the day of Reginald's funeral. I always love timeloop stuff, and this one also has delicious, delicious hurt/comfort, which is why I keep coming back.

that one catastrophe bnha youtube/buzzfeed au by Origamidragons [Boku no Hero Academia - Kaminari & Todoroki; League of Villains ensemble - 15k words across 2 fics]

Kaminari realizes Todoroki "Are you All Might's love child?" Shouto is the perfect person to make a hero conspiracy Youtube channel with. Class 1A, and later the League of Villains, come along for the ride.

Long Shadows by esama [Detroit: Become Human / Iron Man - Connor & JARVIS - 86k, complete]

Connor consults JARVIS, the first "deviant" AI, on how to handle deviants (and recalcitrant humans). Whenever I feel the itch to read Detroit: Become Human fic, I come back to this fic again (and again.)

A Helpful FAQ by Siamesa [A Song of Ice and Fire - Renly Baratheon - 5k, complete]

AU where Renly Baratheon sits on King Stannis' small council and decides to provide some helpful advice to the newest council member. Absolutely hilarious.
