Matrix Recs, post 3 of 4 - by time/length
Mar. 6th, 2022 10:51 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
doranwenThis post is the third of four posts of Matrix recs, organized by time in canon (then wordcount). (For Matrix recs organized by ship & author instead, go to my master recs post for the links.) I will endeavor to keep it updated as new fics are posted.
Guide to icons used:
Fics I tagged as favorites:
Fics I thought were exceptionally well-written:
WIPs:
Dead link (must use Wayback Machine (WBM) to read):
(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, 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.
Any R-rated or X-rated fic from The Construct requires a password to access; you can find the password on their site here. Please note that because the original author summaries are now included, some summaries may contain explicit or other adult language.
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.

1532 words, X, Neo/Trinity
Trinity sensed it for a split second before she actually felt it, the charge in the air before Neo’s palms landed soundly on her shoulders. She knew better than cry out in surprise, or else wake up the exact people who she was supposed to be helping by taking the night shift. She also knew better than to turn toward Neo. She knew how he liked to do this. Kinkmeme promt: Neo likes to visit Trinity when she has night duty as an Operator.

“Yeah, Trin, but -- it works reverse, too. Obviously if you die in real life, you die in the Matrix...but it’s not just injuries. It’s whatever stimuli you’re experiencing.” Trinity nodded, not quite sure if he was saying exactly what she thought he was saying. Not a problem though, she was already quite good at making him tell her what he wanted. “What kind of stimuli are you referring to, Neo?” The patchy blush across his neck confirmed her suspicions. Trinity and Neo experiment with sensory inputs. Filling the prompt "one of them touching the other sexually while they're jacked in. could be prearranged or a surprise."
