Saturday Night Recs

[doranwen]

Back with more fics I've read this past week. I won't be able to post on the 19th, so the next batch of these will be on the 26th.

I've finally caught up with FBI and FBI: Most Wanted - at least, with what I've spotted on AO3 and ff.n. If people are posting fics elsewhere, I have no idea how to find them and therefore haven't read them.

I've caught up with Matrix fics on AO3 now but have tons to go through on ff.n and other sites yet.

Guide to icons used:
Fics I tagged as favorites:
Fics I thought were exceptionally well-written:
WIPs:
(Icons come from the Icon pack by Icons8.)

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.
