Since I was bored out of my mind today and my fic-hunt turned up nothing, I decided now is as good a time as any to put together a few rec lists of some of my favorite  fics bookmarked over on ao3. So! Letâs get started with a Spideypool list:
-Â All That You Love Will Be Carried Away; by beetle:Â Â
 Peter is massively damaged. But then, so is Deadpool. Thisâs mostly free-floating angst and a soupcon of smut. But you should probably assume some vague, incidental spoilers for the MCU/The Amazing Spider-Man. Mentions of suicides. (complete, one chapter, 2000-5000 words)
Why you should read it: The fic that will probably make Those Who Fluff and Those Who Tragic Angst all agree and cry grossly, hand in hand. So fucking worth it.
-Â And When It Comes, It Will Feel Like A Kiss; by Saucery:Â
In a world where Omegas far outnumber Alphas, a dowry system is in place, whereby an Omegaâs family offers a dowry in order to secure a respectable Alpha match, with the highest dowries netting the âbestâ Alphas.
Aunt May struggles to secure an Alpha for her Omega nephewâs first heat. All her meager savings can afford is a butt-ugly (by his own admission) Alpha without much experience to speak of.
Peter would rather go unmated than lose his virginity to a guy that canât go five seconds without making a Monty Python reference. However, it seems Peter has no choiceâŚ(WIP, 5 chapters, 10 000-20 000 words)
Why you should read it: Safe, consensual, respecful A/B/O fics matter a lot to me and I make a point to rec the hell out of them. Thatâs kind of my Thing. But more than that? The writing is excellent. Wade is an adorable softie and he deserves all the hugs.
-Â Baise Moi; by chewysugar:
Peter has been neglecting Wade lately. Wade decides to play a game to remind him how good he has it.(Complete, one chapter, 5000-10 000 words)
Why you should read it: First itâs hilarious, and then itâs hot as hell.Â
Peter was having the worst day the author couldâve come up with - and thatâs even before he accidently killed Deadpool. (Complete, one chapter, 2000-5000 words)
Why you should read it: Because you are a bunch of sadists who love seeing how crap Peter Parkerâs life is?
-Â Cold Hands; by StumblingBlock:
In which Deadpool needs an in with the Avengers and Peter needs an alpha to take to his cousinâs wedding, the Greek tragedy.(WIP, 4 chapters, 20 000- 50 000 words)
Why you should read it: So wingfics are not that much of a thing in my other fandoms, but. Spideypool wingfics are surprisingly intense nerdy good. This one is my favorite. Featuring: Repressed idiots. Also counts as an A/B/O dynamics fic, the power balance between Peter (omega) and Wade (alpha) looks pretty promising so far :)
- DIY Sutures; by fizzyfingermotorfuck:Â
Peter doesnât understand Deadpool, and comes to realize that it might be because he never really tried to.(Complete, one chapter, 5000-10 000 words)
Why you should read it: Good characterization. It doesnât immediately gloss over Wadeâs scars and the general awkwardness. Almost makes it a point to linger on the scars, and, well, thatâs another Thing for me, I guess. Insta-acceptance is good and all, but this here is more what I want from spideypool fics.
-Â Get Off The Phone (or how to get off over the phone); by darkavengerz (darkavenger):
âOoo, somebodyâs grouchy,â Wade snickers down the phone, voice annoyingly loud, cheery and very much awake. âFine, fine, I wonât make you get your lazy butt out of bed -â
â- lazy?!â Peter splutters, indignant. Wade ignores him and verbally steamrollers over him as per normal.
â - we can do this over the phone.â
(Complete, one chapter, 2000-5000 words)
Why you should read it: Important phone-sex fic (in case it wasnât obvious)
- Peter And The Terrible, Horrible, No GoodâŚVery Best Day; by beetle:
Deadpool is impulsive, has a big mouth, and absolutely no tact. And Ellie ⌠well, the apple doesnât fall far from the tree. See end notes for prompt.(Complete, one chapter, 5000-10 000 words)
Why you should read it: Reason 1, Spidey and Deadpool have been bros for ages, Reason 2, WADE WILSON AND HIS DAUGHTER ELLIE LIVING TOGETHER Â ARF?RKLGTL, Reason 3 UNCLE SPIDEY EFRKLGNRLKGN.
âŚ.DID I MENTION THE FLIRTING????? This is a capslock required fic, folks.
-Â Pictures; by darkavengerz (darkavenger):
Deadpool has some pictures of him that jeopardise his secret identity. Peter wants them back.(Complete, one chapter, 5000-10 000 words)
Why you should read it:Â Theyâre a mess and it hurts so good.
-Â See From Your Eyes; by TheBlazeCall:
Soulmates can peak into each otherâs lives for 5 seconds once a month, which was on itâs own bizar, but for Peter Parker it could mean life or dead. What bothers him most is his soulmates timing and the fact that he wished they would just give up, because he didnât feel like risking someone elseâs life.(Complete, one chapter, 2000-5000 words)
Why you should read it: Okay, so, gonna use a bit of raw honesty here, fact is, If youâre looking for 100% flawless editing? This is not the perfect fic for you. What is outstanding is the pure genius of the soulmate identification method.Â
I love soulmates having to work for it and being so effing frustrated yet still hopeful, still yearning for that one stranger in the whole world who completes them. Up there in my top list because of its lovely, poetic imagery.
-Â Self-Fulfilling Prophesy; by rubberbutton:
Wade pisses off a goddess, and Peter has three days to convince him to apologize before she drags him to the Underworld.(Complete, one chapter, 10 000-20 000 words)
Why you should read it: Iâm gonna be short and to the point - Spider-Man making Deadpool his responsability through sex. Yeah.Â
-Â Surprises And Starts; by Birdie (Robin_Mask):
Peter knew it was impossible. It wasnât possible for a male to be pregnant, let alone a single male. It wasnât possible for Wade to be the father, no matter how close their friendship was [âŚ]. Spider-Man had a responsibility to the people of the city. Peter had a responsibility to the life inside him âŚ(Complete, 15 chapters, +70 000 words)
Why you should read it:Â Letâs call this one âThe angsty mpreg ficâ (The angsty mpreg fic, with a baby that happened without sex, which is a premise for crack if I ever heard one, and yet. And YET.)
 Also a very insighful and appropriate outlook on pregnancy and parenthood. Honestly, this fic is a one of a kind.
-Â Thatâs What He Said; by CAPSING:Â Â
 Spider-Man comes out of the closet. Peter Parker would give anything to crawl back in.(Complete, one chapter, 2000-5000 words)
Why you should read it: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Deadpool is the only good thing in the world and JERKS with a capital J are JERKS.Â
-Â Two Teachers, One Classroom; by MysticMoonhigh:
Two teachers, one classroom.
What could possibly go wrong?
(Complete, 9 chapters, 20 000-50 000 words)
Why you should read it: First off, not enough AUs in this fandom. Top-quality characterization for both of them as well as stuck-up!Peter, which is a personal favorite of mine. Lots of fun. The UST kills me. The lack of powers? Yeah, not a drawback for this one. Donât take my word for it, go read it.
-Â You Grow Up And You Lose Touch; by scarlett_starlett:
Peter always thought that when he had kids, there would be someone by his side.
Instead, he has a mouthy mercenary acting as a chef every night for him and his newly adopted son and a narcissistic billionaire philanthropist paying child support on the sly. But Peter figures it isnât all bad, especially when Miles loses that dullness in his eyes whenever Wade slips on the banana peels he âstrategicallyâ places all over the apartment for Peter as a joke.(Complete, 3 chapters, 50 000-70 000 words)
Why you should read it:Â Good. The fic packs a few excellent one-liners, and the rest is both light-hearted and punctuated with a pinch of angst here and there. Disgustingly domestic in the best way possible.Â
And, for those who - like me - care a great deal about that kind of things, both the introduction and the end are interesting and wonât bore you to tears, I promise.
