I Watched the Fire

Do you have any good Led Zeppelin fan fictions that you would recommend? There was one I read called “angel with a broken ring” I really liked that one. Sadly it’s unfinished I hope they make more chapter of that.

Hello anon, yes! There are so many talented writers in our fandom. There are actually too many to list here but I’ll give it a try! I usually only read Jimmy stories, so the list will mainly be centered around him. In no particular order bc they’re all amazing, and also sometimes the authors just have waaay too many great stories to list, so just check out their blogs!

The Farm Frolics series by @laluxea and @ri0thouse, and their other stories are incredible, too

Anything by @jonesyjonesyjonesy but my obsession of late is the absolutely fucking epic Wildflowers saga

Anything by @jimmys-zeppelin. Amazing one shots and addictive chapter stories, as well!

Anything by @ledbythreads. Beautiful, angsty, poignant and often heartbreaking Jimbert goodness.

Anything by LadyGrange on ao3. Thought provoking and visceral Jimmy smut.

Anything by @miss-violet. Her Pangbourne porn series is fucking killer smut!

“In the Light” and it’s sequel “Starshine” by @ritacaroline, a massive tale of true love, starring Jimmy!

@tremble-and-shake has some excellent Jimmy smut

@lady-jane3 is an incredibly prolific writer and has written for all four of the boys. One of my particular faves is a Jimmy/Jonesy/female OC threesome.

Anything by Mi_Chan on ao3. My personal favorite ever LZ fic is the “Good Times, Bad Times” series.

Sodium_Amytal on ao3 has authored some absolute fandom classics. “Five Years Gone” and “The Road So Far” might as well be required reading at this point. For good reason! I’ve read them over and over.

“For All The Gods Departed” is known as one of the original Zep fics from back in the 70’s. It was written by Pamela Rose and Nancy Arena and circulated amongst the fandom in physical form back in those days. For decades it was thought to be lostfic, but earlier this year the story in it’s entirety was uploaded to ao3 under the username pamela_rose. A fandom miracle! FATGD is a Jimbert story, but writing about Jimmy and Robert in such a way in the largely homophobic 70’s could have caused real-life fallout for them, so the characters of Tris, Alex, and their band, Paradox, are used as proxies. It is a full-length novel. It is absolutely epic. Strap yourself in.

@superstarfiction is a really fucking sexy Jimmy story. Unfinished but so worth the read.

@deadlynightshade-and-hyacinth has another insanely sexy Jimmy story. It’s unfinished but it’s some of the best smut I’ve ever read.

@lightandshade is also unfinished but undoubtedly worth your time. Two friends get picked out of the crowd to be Robert and Jimmy’s companions for the evening and marvelous, rapturous smut ensues.

@firethatgrewsolow is the creator of the fandom classic Mich and Rob series, and a few other incredible stories, as well. I’m a Jimmy girl through and through so I don’t usually read Robert fic, but the incredible writing and storytelling just sucked me right in.

@brownskinsugarplum76 also sucked me in with the Rob stories! Way too many to list, just close your eyes and choose one, they’re all wonderful.

@tangerine-page Has the “Jimmy Page: Session Man” story and it was actually the first LZ fic I ever read! It’s unfinished but a fun read.

@starrie-amethyst has a brand new, ultra-kinky Jimmy smut which I loved reading and can’t wait for more!

@summerofsmiles has two heartbreaking Jimmy stories which I just read recently, within the past month, and even though they’re heartbreaking, they were magnificent to read. Very physical and in the moment. There is also a third fic that is more lighthearted and was a super fun read.

And now I will shamelessly plug my own story, “The Taking of James,” which you can find on my blog by searching for ‘Jimmy Page Fan Fiction,’ and can also be found on my ao3, under the name lzep. It features incredibly smutty Zep group sex and I fully realize it may not be for everyone!

This one is a Robert / Jimmy tale during the Zep years:

This one is a story about Robert and Jimmy as detectives if I remember correctly ha!

There's a long one shot out there featuring Robert and a waitress where he sounds like Rhett Butler lol, but I can't find it.

A review of Led Zeppelin's shows in Seattle in 1975.

There are typos galore in this short write-up, including, "John Bohaw," "Cashmir," "Whole Lot of Love" and "Headbreaker."

"Guitarist Jimmy Page was so inspired in his performance that he continuously broke strings on his twelve string guitar.

"The concert can best be summed up with a comment made by the group's vocalist at the end of the show.
