What do I do now?

This is my list of timeless GinZura fics that I love from ao3, in no order of preference, from oldest to newest:

1. Instinct by pyrrhic_victoly (cthchewy)   Kitties being kitties. GinZura being stupid.

2. Fight on a Monday, Cry on a Tuesday, Throw Up on a Wednesday, but Always Laugh on Saturday & Sunday by  mangemouth

Anything by this author is timeless in my humble opinion. It is a nice fic, it evolves in a lovely way and it is very funny.

3. Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Right, But Sometimes Two Idiots Can Make a Genius by pyrrhic_victoly (cthchewy)

Everything by this author is legendary and funny in my opinion. I had never read an mpreg fic before but this was just too stupid and crack-y and funny. I love this fic so much.

4. but it’s burning like an effigy in here by  mangemouth

This is both onesided TakaZura and GinZura. It is very good.

5. creature comforts by  mangemouth

More stupid GinZura cat business and lovely YoroZura.

6. Resuscitation by  Xparrot

This is the fic everyone would recommend back in the day when GinTama was super popular. It is a gorgeous fic and I love Zura here. It also has ace Gintoki.

7. Toll by  athena_crikey

This is one of my favorite fics. It’s very good with lot’s of supernatural elements and Gintoki’s relationship with Zura. Basically the yorozuya are sent to perform an exorcism and Zura is also there, but things do not go well.

8. Echo by  athena_crikey

This author had so many awesome GinZura ideas. Anything by them is a really good read in my opinion. But this story in particular hits hard.

9. Festivales y peces. by  OlivierCash (Spanish)

Esta historia es muy linda y corta. De los fics en español que se me hacen bonitos.

10. call when you’re around by  guycecil

“You’ve caught me,” Zura says, and the idea that his fingers are still inside him, that he still has a hand wrapped around his dick while he says it, probably shouldn’t make Gintoki’s heart skip in just quite the way it does. “Prepare for the end, Gintoki.” It is smut without plot ¿?, but I love it so much.

11. Hollow King by  AvaCelt

It’s somewhat short, but I love it because it focuses on Zura so much. 

12. the monkey on your back is the latest trend by  guycecil  

Mainly because I love Kagura here!

13. Beginner’s Guide by  tanktrilby

This is probably one of my fav fics of the GinZura week in 2015. Zura is just so stupid in this one. But stupid good. This fic is funny and cute. I love jealous Zura so much.

14. the spaces we fill together by  swanfrost

This fic is just so, so sweet. The best Christmas fic I can recommend. It has such a heartwarming YoroZura and even more endearing GinZura. 

15. your love is like bad medicine by  Eddaic

Such a cute Valentine’s Day fic and I appreciate it is Gintoki reaching Zura.

16. and we’ll ask if we can stay by  Eddaic

Modern AU and … the bickering!! The bickering! The sense of destiny. Of they being each other’s constant…!

17. Halloween Is Scarier As An Adult by  experimentaldrama

Best Halloween fic with GinZura! But actually all the Kabukicho idiots appear in this story! 

18. your armour is just skin by  Eddaic

Katsura and Gintoki going together to Hagi for the first time in many years.

19. A Helping Hand by  Liatheus

Written post-Rakuyo arc. This is one of my favorite ZuraGin fics ever. No, I would say it IS the ZuraGin fic. It is a mature fic but it is so, so sweet. It is the sweetest smut. I love Zura and Gintoki both so much in this fic. It is one of those fics I come back to re-read so many times. It is just that good. It’s just such nice smut with lots of feelings inside. 

20. a good nurse is always doing a careful job with their patients by  ginkitty

This fic is mature as well and I must say it is very delicious to read. So kinky. But I bet Gintoki enjoyed this so much.

21. a good ending by  corvidity

A very heartwarming YoroZura fic and a good ending for Zura.

40. When an Editor Tells You To Follow the Mandated Shonen Action Ending Formula, Go Off the Rails and Do Something Else Instead by  StarryDustandFluffyStuff

I love this fic to the Moon and back! I just think it is wonderful when all the GinTama cast is added to the story. When you have a fic where many characters colaborate to help the main pairing get together. Also, this fic is just so, so GinTama! From the title, to the dialogues, everything. I really appreciate it and it became one of my favorites since the first time I read it.
