Push Recs - by ship/author

[doranwen]

updated 2022-02-13

This post is my complete list of Push recs, organized by ship or ship combo (and then by author). (For Push recs organized by time in canon & wordcount instead, go here.) Fics here are from LJ as well as AO3 and Fanfiction.net, and I welcome links to Push fics found on other sites, if you should know of any.

I have included my own fics in this post. I have marked some as favorites (because I do re-read them from time to time!), and others I have not. None 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.

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


Please note that with the original author summaries included, some summaries may contain explicit or other adult language.

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, major ships, and the summary the author gave it.
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.), fic ending (positive, sad/unhappy, mixed/ambivalent, 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 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.


The fics below are all organized by major ship(s). 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.

RaeRaeC / shoesatplaces - For Granted, 494 words, PG
Ficlet in which Cassie realizes she had begun to take Nick for granted. I have marked this story as complete, but more than likely this will become a collection of all the Push ficlets I have (there are a lot). Anyway, talk at me, I'm always looking for more plot bunnies to write.

redbrunja - My Heart Will Surely Fail, 626 words, R
So she's on the run with a totally hot older guy with stubble and shoulders and blue eyes and she's possibly going to die very very soon (long story, not that entertaining) the point is, given that life is short and Nick is hot, doesn't it make sense that once, just once, they should hook up?

redbrunja - No Maps To Where I Want To Be, 417 words, PG-13

Nick wants to say that Cassie looks older, that the twenty-one year old woman standing in front of him looks nothing like the seventeen year old girl he last saw heading to bed in a motel room in Omaha wearing pajama pants with cupcakes on them. Her hips are a little broader, her face a little wider, and she’s grown another inch or two, but it’s the same girl. She’s always looked like this: fierce, tempestuous, beautiful. Nick makes a choice and bears the cost.

sevenfoxes - the present and probable future, 5165 words, R
"Every decision echos upward. Every choice you could possibly make, every branch of eventuality. That's what watchers see - probability. That's why our visions are so fleeting. The future never changes - decisions just tell us which branch off the path a person will actually take. The good watchers can see more than a few hours into the paths, navigate them, follow the decisions to the inevitable conclusion of the probability. Some can see days - years - into the future." The future is a game of chance. Nick's always been a gambler.

On her eighteenth birthday, Nick gives Cassie a small box. It isn't wrapped, the lid of it just taped down, but she doesn't care.

pink_lemonade (lamourche) - Daydreams, 10125 words, R
As much as other girls daydreamed about having superpowers, Cassie daydreamed about being a regular teenager. That boring life sounded so easy, so refreshingly dull. She wouldn't be chased by men with guns. She wouldn't see visions of her own death. She wouldn't have an age-inappropriate attraction to a guy who ruffled her hair and called her kiddo. She really wanted that boring life sometimes. There was definitely something wrong with her, because sometimes she wanted this life too. Like right now. Nick bursts out the back door of the run-down gambling house in Macau. The evening didn't go as well as it should have, she guesses, what with the way he’s stuffing bills in his pockets and yelling at her to run.
