FBI (CBS Show) Recs - by time/length

updated 2022-05-26

This post is my complete list of FBI recs through Season 3, organized by time in canon (and then sorted by length). (For FBI recs organized by ship & author instead, go here.) I haven't watched any of Season 4 yet, so I won't be adding many fics to this until I do. (I will endeavor to keep any ongoing fics updated as new chapters are posted, however.)

I have included my own fics in this post. I have marked them as favorites (because I do re-read them from time to time!), though there are several fics of mine in other fandoms that I do not consider favorites. Neither of them are marked as exceptionally well-written because I couldn't objectively evaluate my own work that way, even when I particularly like the way I wrote something.

The fics below all have major ship(s) listed beneath them. 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.
