(Un)Graceful

I read an ALARMING amount of Fanfiction, and this is the easiest way for me to catalog some of my favorite Fanfiction. I love AO3 but I wish I could put things in categories and separate folders like GoodReads. I will be updating this list periodically and they are in no particular order. However, I will star some of my favorites!

Please note that most of these have smut! These are also all long fics, no one shots in here.

These will just be my AO3 favorite fanfics, I will make another master post for the Tumblr specific fics.

Here is a link to my subscription list on AO3 that is the most up to date.

Color Key:

Gwynriel

Elucien

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes

the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually

liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space

preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good

no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl

liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that

just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny 

some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have

no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems

abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships

y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

We just printed the coolest damn creature.. im so i love with him..

Nessian:

Au ACOSF by @theladyofbloodshed (rewrite of acosf)

The Hands that thieve by @saphie3243 (sequel to sympathy for the devil except it's for acosf)

The Rage by @ladynestaarcheron (rewrite of that scene where cassian was sad and nesta gave him a bj and it's done much better than canon)

Kings, Queens, and Vagabonds by @gingerwritess

The Autumn Flame by The_Twisted_Kingdom (I haven't finished it yet but it's great, has elucien traveling prythian, and is currently at 627 chapters)

Also @velidewrites writes great elucien (and that smutty nessian piece ;)

Notes: Some of you have been asking for a teaser for chapter 51 of E&L and given that you've been patient after that last cliffhanger ending, I thought I'd give you... more agony? Sorry in advance...

Under cut due to spoilers. Sorry for anyone who saw the other post before I deleted it if they weren't all caught up!

‘There are not enough words to convey what a piece of shit Beron Vanserra was.’ Helion drained another glass of wine.
