day 2; rec a fic
oh, man, here are some fics that have left the most impression on me since starting to read sheith fic
hover over the links for summaries.
Glimpse of White Cosmic Dust by dimplelegacymilaĀ this is probably my favorite of the sheith big bang last year. it really drives home struggles of a lot of interracial people, their struggle for identity, self-acceptance, and keithās struggle to be around people cause he faces backlash from people who only see the part-galra of him and ostracize him. this actually became extra personal cause as an interracial person, i donāt know any interracial person who hasnāt struggled with identity and where they belong amongst their their own heritage. and then here comes shiro, who doesnāt see keith as evil, who doesnāt pull away, who doesnāt try to change keith. itās such a sweet and angsty fic, and itās a really good keith pov, i think.
raise me to your lips by eunzos boy, during the early part of the fandom, dark shiro was a semi-popular thing, people were interested in kuroāiām not sure how the name came about, but it def stuck. even though keith loves shiroās gentle nature, he still wants shiro to go all animalistic on him and oh, man, it still gets me to this day. i think it was the first real big dark shiro fic that i came across and itās lit as fuck.
my heart is (actually) tremblingĀ byĀ rat (orphan_account)Ā so, around the beginning of last year, some antis thought it would be a good idea to spam the sheith ao3 tag with legit-sounding stories but were just long wikipedia copy/pastes. so, someone ended up taking one of the fic titles and turned it into a real fic. this is probs my fave porn fic, if not, top five, and iitās just really good tbh.
primalĀ byĀ velociraptorsĀ oooooh, my god, this fic is near and dear. itās a werewolf au where keith is a high school kid and shiro is a werewolf, and thereās little hints that drop that keith is part-werewolf and shiro knows but doesnāt let keith know. they spend time together at keithās shack and itās honestly so domestic? and itās adorable? shiro having to adopt human mannerisms and itās just??? so adorable??? i love it so much (plus they wrote a real good gladnoct fic and i love it)
my right-hand manĀ byĀ orphan_accountĀ holy shit, this fic. this fic is beautiful. like.the writing is so good, itās so pretty, and itās angsty and sad. itās shiro struggling to remember keith and feeling so awful about not being able to. it is major character death, and honestly, it made me Feel Things. i want to emphasis how itās really angsty and i fucking love angst fic and itās not a happy ending, but please, donāt let that stop you, the writing is so beautiful for it.
captive red lion seriesĀ by awkwardspaceturtle (CastelloFlare)Ā i love this series, and i do hope the writer would come back to it and continue you it cause i am interested in this, even two years later. keith is an infamous thief and itās what you would expect for a shith aladdin au but i love it so much
iām lost in faith (oh how true it is)Ā byĀ ShirosRedKnight (SweetFanfics)Ā let me preface this: my dick is still mega hard for dark shiro aka kuro, and i was really loving the trend of fics that appeared for it. this one? keith gets dpād by shiro and kuro and boiiiiiiii,i have never been more thankful for discovering it.
LAZARUSĀ by GlossolaliaĀ can you tell i like dark fic?well, i do, not gonna lie. but anyways, i love how this fic is done, i love the tone, the darkness, the morality of it, how keith morals are compromised because he desperately wants shiro back. and kuro knows this. iām always hoping that one day, one day, the author would consider coming back to this but last year, antis rolled through the fandom really hard and a lot of darker material stopped getting produced as people didnāt want to be put on antisā radar. but iām just hoping that this fic could be possibly continued.
et in arcadia egoĀ byĀ tootsonnewts so letās talk about my new interest in shiro being a demon or incubus that keith summons. thereās nothing like summoning a very powerful but mega hot demon that utterly destroys and wrecks your ass. this is my new Thing, and i enjoy it without shame.Ā
Slip the Surly Bonds by Sol1056 please let me emphasize this: this fic is so gorgeous and so well put together, like itās hard to remember that this fic isnāt actually canon and didnāt happen. thereās so much thought and planning that went into this that itās amazing and so well detailed. i canāt stop praising how well done this fic is.
