recthething | 100 fics I've read & enjoyed in the past nine days

I've been catching up on fics posted months ago (adding them to my database), and enjoying so many good ones, that I had to share them.

Rather than make a bunch of separate posts, I thought it might be easier to just flag the tagged ones with suitable icons:

Fics I tagged as favorites:

Fics I thought were exceptionally well-written:

WIPs:

(Icons come from the Icon pack by Icons8.)

I enjoyed reading all of these fics so much that very few stood out above the rest. There's a lot of great fic here! (More FBI than anything else, as I've been going through the archives to catch up there.)

As always with my db-generated lists, ratings are all converted to a single system for convenience:
Fanfiction.net - G through R
AO3 - PG through X (though the occasional child-friendly fic I mark G)
anything without a rating (AO3 or other site) - Unrated

I listed any ships I thought were major below each fic. If there are any minor/background ships you want to avoid, please leave a comment and ask for a list to be made for you. Note that ships may refer to one-sided or unrequited ones as well as to requited/mutual.
