This post created to fulfill a request for fluff fics. I've done a few similar posts in the past year but I've also added a bunch more fics to the database, so this won't be identical to any of those, especially since with this one I made sure to remove any fic with emotional hurt/comfort or a mixed/ambivalent ending.

A Redditor requested short fluffy/humorous/cracky fics without smut, so I pulled what I could from my fic db. All of these are 4000 words or less, so are quick reads.

Since this is a request post, it will not be updated as time goes on. Links are valid as of the day posted, but no guarantees are made for the future.

I'm already aware that the fic marked with the tombstone is long vanished from the 'net and is not even on the Wayback Machine. However, if any of the other links above no longer work soon after the post date, please let me know so I can flag them as "Dead" in my database, thanks! (If it's been a long time since this post was made, please first check the regular post that the fic should be listed in to see if the link has been marked accordingly, since this post will not be kept up-to-date.)

In response to a user on Reddit who wanted recs for well-written fics, here are all the fics in my database which I've tagged as exceptionally well-written. Most are also tagged as favorites (i.e. I love re-reading them) and a few are not, but their lower level of re-read appeal to me has no bearing on how well-written they are, and what doesn't grab me emotionally may be the perfect fic for you. In each case I thought the author did an amazing job with words and turns of phrase, and that these fics should be seen by more people.

Someone asked for all the M/F fluff recs I had in my database, so I threw together a post.

Icon guide )

Explanation of ratings )

I listed any ships I thought were major below each fic, and all themes found within the fic are listed, so spoilers may abound. Please note that while I have been going through all the fics and marking the ending, I have not finished with this, so while likely all of these have a positive ending (given they all have fluff in them), if there's no note about the sort of ending it has, it means I haven't gotten to that fic yet.

Fics are sorted by fandom, and then by length, so you can use that to choose a fic based on how much time you have to read, if you want.

This list of recs was created on request for a friend, who wanted physical hurt/comfort fics (the last post of hurt/comfort were emotional ones). [Obviously, some fics will appear on both lists, because physical and emotional hurt/comfort go together quite well in a fic. :) ] All themes in the fics are listed below fics so it is highly spoilery. If you don't want to be spoiled, leave a comment on my master recs post to ask for a list to be made without the themes.

An important note: Due to my general state of busyness, I have not been able to keep up with most of the fandoms already in the database, and have many fics and fic updates to enter. Therefore, some fics which are listed as WIPs may actually be complete, and some more recent fics are missing which will end up in the database at some point.

The last post I sorted by author and then title, but it probably makes more sense to sort by wordcount. That way if you know you only have a limited amount of time, you won't click on a fic that's too long. (One hopes, lol.)

Fluff fics

doranwen: female nerds, rare and precious (Default)
This isn't a regular recs post, so it won't be linked in my master recs post, nor will it be updated with new fics as I add them to the database. I haven't had time to enter new fics into the database for a long while (thank you, Yahoo Groups) but when I saw a themed post - which accepted recs - on Reddit, I desperately wanted to be able to use my fic database for the first time in ages, so I set this one up with a tweak of an existing query.

So here the theme is fluff! Every one of the fics in this post I tagged with fluff when I entered it, so you know they're all heartwarming (or maybe tooth-rotting, lol) and full of happy feels. Most are quite shippy.

This post is my complete list of Push recs, organized by time in canon (and then sorted by length). (For Push recs organized by ship & author 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.

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

Content warnings and spoilers )

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.

This post is my complete list of crossovers (as far as I've added them in my database). I will endeavor to keep it updated as new crossover fics are added to the database.

I have included one of my own fics in this post, and tagged it as a favorite, because I like to re-read it. (I only do this for some of my fics.) It is not marked as exceptionally well-written because I couldn't evaluate my own work with clarity that way, even if I particularly like the way I wrote something. It's also tagged as a WIP because I never did get to finishing it. *sheepish grin*

This recs post will be hosted only on my journal, and will be updated continuously as I add to my database, due to its unique content. All of the fics in it are fics in my database that are outright inaccessible now, mostly because the authors deleted their fics (and in most cases, accounts as well). (The links were left in so you know where they came from, but none of them can be accessed at those links, even via the Wayback Machine.)

This icon represents all of these fics, sadly: tombstone

Fics I tagged as favorites: favorite
Fics I thought were exceptionally well-written: exceptionally well-written
WIPs: WIP
(Icons come from the Icon pack by Icons8.)


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 listed any ships I thought were major below each fic. If there are any minor/background ships or themes you want to avoid, please mention that when requesting fic (see the end of the post).

I included the author's original summaries (if they had any) below the ships. To the right of the list of ships, for some fics, is my personal commentary. I hope the two don't get confused. :)

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman )

Push (2009) )

The Matrix )

Tomorrow When the War Began (book/film) )

All of these I have on my hard drive saved for re-reading purposes. I saved them in one or more of three formats (which one[s] depending on a number of factors): epub, html, and/or pdf. (Occasionally I have an mht file as well but given the low compatibility of that format, I doubt anyone wants it.)

If you want to read one of these fics, please send me a PM or leave a comment with the following:
- your email address (which can receive attachments)
- the fandom/author/title for the fic(s) in question
- if there are any ships or themes you want to avoid or be warned about (full list of themes can be found here)
- whether you want all of the formats or just one (and if only one, please list the three options in order of your preference, as that fic may not be available in your first choice of format)

Comments are screened so that you can leave a comment with your email address if you want. Comments with email addresses in them will not be unscreened to preserve privacy.

I hope this is useful to someone. :)
doranwen: Clark and Chloe from Smallville, hinting that Chloe should become Lois (Between How It Is)
This is my first time trying a soulmates/soulbonds exchange, but I've done Multifandom Tropefest and AUex and other tropey exchanges, so I'm excited. :D

I hope you have a blast writing for me. I always comment on my gifts and appreciate the hard work my writers do in crafting a story for me, and I'm sure I'll enjoy what you write.

I've tried to help you out by describing what I love about each fandom and/or character, and I've written a few prompts in case you find them useful, but if you come up with something of your own, please write what you think will work best! I've been wonderfully surprised by fics that I never would have thought of in a million years but which were absolutely amazing.

Fics of any length beyond the minimum are fine with me. If your story runs away with you, please be reassured I will love it longer just as much as if it were between 1,000 and 2,000 words.

The icon may make it appear that I have a particular bias towards one fandom, but I just picked one icon that matched a fandom in the list - and which I haven't used recently - so please don't worry: I really truly will love fic for anything I've requested! :)

I once made up a 101 favorite tropes list (in no particular order), so feel free to make use of those if any of them get your muse going: https://doranwen.dreamwidth.org/240453.html


Yes please! )

DNWs )

Opt-ins I'm OK with )


If writing a romantic friendship, I'd prefer the line be drawn at forehead/cheek kisses and cuddles; please reserve lip kisses for sexual relationships.

If a prompt requires something that's listed as a DNW, please follow the prompt rather than the DNW. :)

Also, if choosing between writing the characters as true to themselves as you can, vs. writing a particular trope or prompt, I'd prefer you to keep the characters true to themselves.

As far as soulmates-specific things go: I don't care one way or the other about soulmarks, but prefer they not be the person's name or anything they say. I definitely do not want timers or a red string of fate. I'm OK in general with sharing scars, emotions, etc.


And now to the requests (in tagset category order):
Gold Diggers (1995)
Push (2009)
Leverage
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman
The Pretender (TV)
Rizzoli & Isles (TV)
Rookie Blue

I love doing Chocolate Box every year. :D Below I've done a lot of describing the awesomeness about each pairing, and gave a few prompts in case you find them useful. I hope you have a lot of fun writing for me. :)

What I love about relationships is all the emotional depth: vulnerability, loyalty, knowing someone so well you know what they feel/think/need, even just having someone there as an emotional "rock". The whole "not being alone" feeling is such a powerful theme.

I once made up a 101 favorite tropes list (in no particular order), so feel free to make use of those if any of them get your muse going: https://doranwen.dreamwidth.org/240453.html

Besides those tropes, here are my general likes:
deep platonic friendship, romantic friendship, asexual romance, found families, apocalyptic fic, hurt/comfort, nonsexual physical touch (including cuddling), self-sacrifice, characters being vulnerable, character redemption, survival fic, positive treatment of religion, characters dealing with trauma, trust building, missing scenes, canon divergence AU (especially fix-it fic)

DNWs: supernatural/fantasy beings (elves outside of LOTR, vampires, werewolves, gnomes, zombies, etc.), AUs other than canon divergence or alt beginnings, noncanonical deathfic or horror, calling an adult "baby" or "darling", mpreg, crackfic, gore (mild violence is OK, just not as graphic as a surgery documentary), uncensored profanity, first/second person fic

DNW/Caution note: I'm not averse to mentions of sex, but I'd prefer the fic not focus on it or indulge in the physical feelings. Emotional feelings/bonds are what I focus on in any ship. If a prompt requires a mention or implies sex in some way, feel free to include it as necessary as long as the focus of the fic is elsewhere.

Don't worry if someone's written a similar idea before. My first real fandom was one where people used to write a dozen versions of the same TV ep, and I loved reading them all. There are never too many versions of the same story, in my opinion.


And now to the requests (in tagset category order):

The Matrix (Movies)
X-Men (Original Timeline Movies)

Cybergeddon (Web Series)
Alphas (TV)
Rookie Blue
Women's Murder Club (TV)

doranwen: reading one book is like eating one potato chip (Reading One Book)
This is my first time trying Not Prime Time! I'm looking forward to it. :D I did a lot of describing the awesomeness about each character or pairing, and gave a few prompts in case you find them useful. I hope you have a lot of fun writing for me. :)

I love characters who are strong, characters who have quiet depth, characters with an active inner life, characters who think and/or feel… You'll probably see this in the characters I requested. :)

What I love about relationships is all the emotional depth: vulnerability, loyalty, knowing someone so well you know what they feel/think/need, even just having someone there as an emotional "rock". The whole "not being alone" feeling is such a powerful theme.

I once made up a 101 favorite tropes list (in no particular order), so feel free to make use of those if any of them get your muse going: http://doranwen.livejournal.com/246063.html

Besides those tropes, here are my general likes:
deep platonic friendship, romantic friendship, asexual romance, found families, apocalyptic fic, hurt/comfort, nonsexual physical touch (including cuddling), self-sacrifice, characters being vulnerable, character redemption, survival fic, positive treatment of religion, characters dealing with trauma, trust building, missing scenes, alternate universe (especially fix-it fic)

DNWs: sex or sexual feelings, supernatural/fantasy beings (elves, vampires, werewolves, gnomes, zombies, etc.), certain AUs (medieval, fantasy, supernatural, fairytale, feudal, space, historical), deathfic or horror, calling an adult "baby" or "darling", mpreg, crackfic, gore (mild violence is OK, just not as graphic as a surgery documentary), uncensored profanity, first/second person fic

Don't worry if someone's written a similar idea before (even as a gift for me!). My first real fandom was one where people used to write a dozen versions of the same TV ep, and I loved reading them all. There are never too many versions of the same story, in my opinion. I love to see how two people can take the same idea and come up with two totally different stories. :D

If you're crossover-inclined, you're welcome to cross these with any fandom I know: If I've requested it or listed it as a possible crossover fandom in one of my other exchange letters, you can totally use it! Every one of the fandoms I've requested crosses pretty well with others, I think.


And now to the requests (in the order of which I found them in the tagset):

Push (2009) )

X-Men (Original Timeline Movies) )

The Pretender )

Rizzoli & Isles )

Happy writing! :D
doranwen: reading one book is like eating one potato chip (Reading One Book)
This might be useful for anyone who just wants a good fic in a certain category, no matter the fandom. Everything is cut so if you don't want to see a particular category, just be sure to view this from the page for this date, and expand only the categories you want. I'll add more fics to this as I find them or think of them. This list is by no means all-inclusive; absence of a fic on it only means that fic has not come to my mind yet as an outstanding example of a particular category, though it may be well-written.

Please let me know if you run across any dead links to stories (that aren't specified - at least one of the stories in this post was deleted after I rec'd it, and I've left the rec up with a note to that effect).
