fanfic recommendation for someone who never read a fanfic?
Hi! Ok thatâs a cool challenge. Please keep in mind that Iâm leaving a lot of great fics out, some because itâs humanly impossible to remember everything and others because I refuse to make a list the size of the bible. Anyway, I hope you like my suggestions ^-^
