Saturday Night Recs

[doranwen]

Before I get to the rest of the post, I thought I should probably link to my dead fics post. From here on out I won't be posting any recs here on this comm for fics which are inaccessible even via the Wayback Machine. Any such fics I run across on my hard drive will be rec'd on that post instead, updated as necessary. (See the instructions there for how to read those fics, should you want to.) I won't try to keep the tags on this post updated to match, however (currently there are only recs for Push, Stick It, and The Matrix there, but at points in the future I'll be adding - at the very least - Pern, Rizzoli & Isles, Sue Thomas F.B.Eye, and Young Wizards fics to that post).

On to the Saturday Night Recs:
All of these are fics I read in the past couple of weeks and enjoyed or found interesting enough to add to my database. (I will also be unable to post on the 3rd, so the next Saturday Night Recs will be on July 10, if anyone cares, lol.)

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 have tried not to spoil readers too much.
Most of the fics in this list are given with no information beyond author, title, rating, word count, and major ships.
However, my database does store information on themes, which cover everything from grammatical things like tense & person (I mark for present tense, first person, second person, and direct address), to format (poetry, songfic, 5+1, etc.), trope (fake couple, stranded together, etc.), general feel (angst, fluff, etc.), and warnings (major character death, non-con, violence/wounds, etc.).
If you would like to see the themes for the recs from any of the fandom lists below, please comment and let me know so I can reply with that information. It is very simple to generate the recs for a large list of fics in such a way that all of the themes are listed.
If you would rather just have a list with certain themes excluded, please also comment to let me know which one(s). You can find the full list of themes here, titled Fanfic Themes.


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.
