Saturday Night Recs

[doranwen]

All of these are fics I read in the past month and enjoyed or found interesting enough to add to my database. I have NOT seen the Matrix: Resurrections trailer yet, so I avoided reading any Matrix fics that mentioned it was based on or inspired by the trailer. I've also not had the opportunity to watch the season openers for any of the FBI shows, so I'm avoiding new FBI and FBI: Most Wanted fic until I can, lol. What I have in this post was posted before those came out.

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.

Enjoy! :)
