recthething | Saturday Night Recs

All of these are fics I read in the past month and added to my fanfic database. (Pretty much just keeping up with new fics for fandoms I already have, since I'm still working on Yahoo Groups and haven't had time to add a new fandom in.) There's some creative ones in this lot! (And plenty of super shippy fluff too.)

Guide to icons used:
WIPs: WIP

(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.

Below are the recs:

The Matrix

Most of these fics are for the new film, but this is not marked below. If you want to know before clicking whether a film is for Resurrections or not, you may want to stick to browsing my Matrix recs linked here (there are four posts of them), where all fics for the new film are marked.
