One (1) biscuit full of yummy choco

Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it.

Welp!!!! I have a whole bunch of bookmarks on AO3, plus a tag just for fic recs! I know it skews things to whatever I read most recently though, so here are some prime fanfics that are a little bit older.

No Bed of Roses by montparnasse is the first Jack/Miranda fic I ever read and it just. It shook me with a vast and inchoate longing for more. I love how messy and raw they are with each other, I love the slow transformation of mutual friction sparking into mutual passion, I love the little pieces of background character dynamics with the rest of the crew and I love how raw and sensual it is. And now that I've recc'd it, I'm going to have to read it again.

And Wolves Beneath Their Seams by cyprith is a slowburn F!LW/Charon fic and was the first longfic I ever read, as well as the first fic that ever made me reconsider the Charon character dynamics. It still resonates with me because of the use of language, both stark and lovely, and how much it pried into the world as presented to the player/character compared to what the game tells us we should think. This is the story that really got me into writing fanfic, not just reading it, and thinking about the characters extending beyond the canon.

To be seen, feeling by stonestrewn is the Josephine/Vivienne fic of my heart, the thing I feverishly flail for, the thing that encapsulates everything I love about this ship and their dynamics and the sheer swoony romance of two very sensible women having their own insensible moment as they fall in love and just. The final scene where Vivienne duels for Josephine's hand? Just. MWAH.

Hi hello I'm Choco! My pronouns are she/her and they/them and I'm a multifandom mess. I came to fandom relatively late; I'm in my 30s, and only started being active in fandom as of 2013. I was fandom-adjacent during high school, thanks to having friends in the Anime Club, but didn't really dive in until later. (Fun fact: I still remember when fic was rated as 'lemon' or 'lime,' but again. Mostly due to having friends who were Extremely Into fandom, even though that terminology was pretty much gone by the time I started. I also remember glomping and the yaoi paddles.)

I am mostly into video game fandoms (Dragon Age, Fallout, and Mass Effect are probably the most obvious examples from my fic tags!) but I also dabble in Harry Potter and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. I will also write (or yell about!) other things I enjoy, like the books I've been reading or other games I've played.

And...this prompt is also a good reminder that I need to update my interests! :D *goes to do so*
