What are your favorite MaBill fanfics?
...DUDE. I almost went insane trying to find one of them, at this point it's a lost media case cuz apparently the author fell victim to the hysteria surrounding ships of Bill and any of the twins and deleted their works in "disgust" (oh my god it wasn't even controversial in any way to begin with), and unfortunately I can't find it on my pc... at least for now. Anyway, the fic in question is "Reality" by Evil-Ekat on fanfictionnet, and this wayback machine link is the only evidence of its existence. I'd gladly read it again if you happen to have a copy, because, from what I see in the old convos with friends where this fic is mentioned, I was very excited about it in general and some details of the ending in particular.
Also, if my memory doesn't fail me, back in 2015 and around that time, ao3 was mostly full of BillDip, while fanfictionnet had plenty of MaBill. Among those I found entertaining were also "One Step At A Time" by Sakura1221 (Mabel losing her voice and making a deal, but with a twist... maybe couple of twists) and "A Demon and his Shooting Star" by MistressOrchid, chapter 5 specifically, cuz the line about Bill removing his gloves was etched into my brain since then, that's how you write it.
Althooooough mind you, these are the recs from 2015 me. There was probably plenty of stuff on old tumblr, but I absolutely hated reading fics there (and I still hate when people post fics on this platform). Also, it's not like people published tons of fun MaBill works on places I used to visit, and later I switched to other stuff and lost track of them. I guess ao3 might have some good fics these days, and I simply haven't seen them. A good reason to come and check them out now, huh?
Btw I just checked ao3 and I'm VERY HAPPY to see some works (regardless of any ships) going from the idea of Bill not doing great in Theraprism and being sent back to the Pines as an alternative. Yeaah. Yeeaaaah, you get it.
Ladies and gentlemen.
I found "Reality". Full text.
With a bunch of other deleted works by the same author, as a treat.
