Suga_BloomLili - we all know her works, fanfics and fanarts! she has multiple dnb fanfics in her work and another work which has many of her fanarts. i searched through pinterest before for dnb fanarts and i canʼt find any. i was devastated at that time AND THEN I FOUND LILIʼS FANART BOOK! sheʼs one of the best dnb artist out there. you should join her discord server (there are a tons of artists there that send fanarts and all of them are amazing!) or follow her private account on insta! i think she still posts dnb fanarts there. my favorite work of her was the royal au three-shot fic about techno finally proposing to dream. it was cute ><

scout (scout_eki) - i really canʼt exclude scout when he literally have like 90 works under the dnb tag. you canʼt tell me sheʼs not one of your favorite authors after that. scoutʼs works was my comfort fics back in the day, especially the royal au ones. i really want to thank them for making a huge (i mean, HUGE) amount of refreshment fics *sobbing*

cheesesqwee - cheese is probably going to be the next scout, to be honest (/pos). in a way where scout is a remarkable president and cheese is going to be the next one, but itʼs with authors in dnb fandom. i didnʼt notice them before until i realized they have like 30 works under dnb fandom. my favorite fic of them is the one here ranboo is a student and dream and techno are teachers.

quqin - for me, quqin is the equivalent of lili (/pos). like, have you seen their works??? especially to marry a dream?? HDJAJSJAHDJADJAKKSJSNAJDJD they way they write things is literally my standard and what i wish to achieve. i donʼt even know what to say. the moment i read to marry a dream i was like, “holy shit. this is fucking perfect,” because it is. genuinely. you should read their other works too, such as you fall, we rise and twenty-one summers.

Going_Supernova - yes, i know, i have read like 1 fic of them (a heroʼs lament) but i can assure you that their works are *chefʼs kiss* as far as i can see, they tend to write 3,000-5,000 words in one chapter (maybe more, or less) and itʼs the best that i could ask for. you would be satisfied with each chapter they published (well, cliffhangers would be in another topic). their other work about cottagecore!dream is also good. i have not finished it yet since i stopped reading dream-centric fanfics (without shipping) long ago, but itʼs really good. the dynamic between dream and other characters are top-tier.

technocrusade - honestly, take back what i said about quqin being the equivalent of lili. these three: lili, quqin, and technocrusade are probably three of best dnb writers out there. and iʼm serious about it. i canʼt even pick one out of all of them. technocrusadeʼs dnb fanfics are one of the best, especially the of gods and worship. their works (iʼm referring to the three of them) are excellent to anyone who wants a dnb fanfic collections of what to hyperfixate in. and technocrusadeʼs works in general is really good (good is even an understatement.)

personwithmanynames - if you are looking for nsfw fanfics with bottom!dream (since we donʼt accept bottom!techno in this household), one of my recommendations is pl! he has some good shit *chefʼs kiss* for nsfw. the tension and stuffs like that are HDKAHSAJUDHDHSJJDJAJ i have forget many things but i vaguely remember rivals or lovers (one of his fics) having tension that... exceeds... i donʼt know, mt. everest? seriously though, i would recommend his fics.

Samplingmoonsters - i would also recommend sammy because of course, we need to include the furry duo (sammy and pl) here <3 (also a bottom!dream enthusiastm. unless heʼs a traitor *squints eyes at remembering that one post about bottom!techno) sammy is also one of the best nsfw writers. and if youʼre into something that you donʼt know about... maybe, just maybe, read one of his fics (or all of them) *grins* just, read them. goodluck, i suppose?

kingpig - okay... if you are up for... hardcore... stuff, i would recommend their works! and donʼt worry, all of them are consensual just not safe or sane (well, at least thatʼs what i perceive). their series bloodwork is *chefʼs kiss* itʼs a bit gory for me because of the amount of mentions of blood but itʼs all good. if youʼre not into that, then please donʼt read it. when i said itʼs hardcore, believe me, it is.

aetheras - back to sfw because. yeah, take back what i said about cheese being the next president. scout, cheese and ego can be presidents all the same time. they have a ton of works under dnb tag and itʼs PERFECT. i also forgot a lot of fics ego wrote; i should probably read them again and put something on my recommendations list. their work, something about dream coming to nether, learning technoʼs language is one of my favorite fics. i want to put it in my recommendations but iʼm still scared of what the ending would be so iʼm holding it up until they published the last chapter. (ego also has nsfw works so if you to read them, then please do).

not_a_tuna_fish_ish - you know, honestly, iʼm going to include fish to lili, quqin and technocrusadeʼs trio. theyʼre quartet (or quadro in my perspective because it sounds pretty) now. fish is the author of my all time favorite dnb fanfic, an unending brevity. of course, i wouldnʼt forget them. theyʼre also the one who wrote the uncanny majesty with techno being part-hoglin. theyʼre works are HDFAJDHSHJAKAKSJZHjKZJX

---

i think thatʼs it...? well, hopefully. again, i already said this in my fanfic recommendations list but, these are just my preferences. please take this as a grain of salt for anyone who are easily insulted because their favorite author are not here. all the authors are perfect in their own way; these are just the authors that made something i will never forget :D

i will probably add another author(s) here in the near future, but for now, itʼs just them! please check out their works if you want to. i really like their fics and i think you would also like them! ^^

Day 1: Opening arguments

Andy Barber: Steve Rogers aka Captain America, a man that has put his life on the line for this country more times than we can count. Doing things most men wouldn’t even dream of doing now sits before us accused of treason.  How can anyone even think that a man with such high moral integrity be capable of treason?  As his lawyer, I will prove to you that this man before you is not just a superhero, but also a man that loves this country more than most. I will prove to you that Senator Ross is falsely accusing this American Icon for his own selfish ambitious reasons.

The prosecuting attorney glances over to his client Senator Ross who is sitting with his back firmly against the wooden chair. As opening arguments continue, Senator Ross frowns at Barber’s allegations. He mumbles something quietly to his attorney which only can be guessed however he is waved off as Barber continues.

Murmurs could be heard in the background as Barber accuses Senator Ross of abuse of power amongst other things against Captain Rogers that can only be heard in bits and pieces as the courtroom crowd grew rowdy, causing the presiding judge to call for order in the court.

Prosecutor: Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury while we all agree that Captain Rogers has served his country faithfully it does not allow him to break the laws and statutes set forth by the United Nations. Therefore, the United States Government is asking for you to take these accounts into consideration. The Sokovia Accords lays out a course of action if and when the Avenger team is called upon. Steve Rogers did not take this into consideration when he gathered his team members to his side in order to save the war criminal James Barnes. Yes, this man sitting before you is capable of treason and much more.

Andy can see the veins in Steve’s hands’ contract as he squeezes them together in anger at the mention that Bucky is just a common war criminal. His jaw is set hard enough that it ticks with frustration. More mummers erupt again throughout the courtroom as jurors exchange glances between them. The sounding of a loud gavel erupts again over the gallery as the judge demands order in her courtroom and effectively ending the first day of the trial.

Court TV Reporter:  Smooths hands over outfit as makeup assistant touches up red lipstick “Today’s trial proceedings in the case of United States v Steve Rogers began with opening arguments.  Andy Barber who is the hot attorney for Rogers called his client a man of high moral integrity, while the prosecutor pointed out Rogers aided and abetted the war criminal James Barnes whose trial is slated to begin later this month.”  

Day 2: Prosecutor’s Witnesses:

The Prosecutor had started the day with calling their list of witnesses against Rogers. Those that had suffered some kind of loss from the actions taken by Captain Rogers and his team who ignored the sole purpose of what the Accords stood for.  Protecting the people of the world from rogue superheroes.

Court TV Reporter: Wearing navy sweater  “Day two of the trial against Captain America started off with the prosecution calling their witnesses. First to the stand being the mother of Charlie Spencer; the young man who was killed while in Sokovia doing volunteer work. Miriam Sharpe blames the loss of her son on the arrogance of the Avengers and their lack of realizing the consequences of their actions.

Their next witness Helmut Zemo went on record to state that due to the arrogance of the so called superhero Avengers he lost everything.  His wife, his son, his father, and his home; despite having them evacuate to his father’s home outside of the city caused by the level of destruction.

However, Defense Attorney Andy Barber questioned Zemo about his involvement in implicating James Barnes. He stated that because of Zemo’s actions he had led Mr. Barnes; an innocent man to be brainwashed by the very enemy that he and Captain Rogers fought during the great war. Questioning the integrity of this witness as well as revamping the events he had set forth in action made the count room buzz with activity. The judge had to regain control several times thus causing Mr. Barber to ask for a recess which has been granted until tomorrow.  It was evident from today’s proceedings that Andy Barber has his work cut out for him.”

***

It was evident that the day's proceedings had worn heavy on Steve’s mind and heart. Some of it made him rethink his own involvement in Sokovia and the loss it had caused.  Then a voice in the back of his mind perks up. A familiar voice that reminds him of why he took on the moniker of Captain America in the first place.

“The strong man who has known power all his life, may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strength, and knows... compassion. Whatever happens, stay who you are, not just a soldier, but a good man.”

Steve looks at the window of the meeting room and blows out a frustrating breath. “You thinkin’ about jumping out the window?” Andy’s voice is both full of sarcasm and concern. Steve does not take his eyes from the window but decides to look down at the city street itself watching the cars pass.

“Naw, just thinking we are in the fight for our lives, at least mine. Do you think we have a chance at winning this case especially with the media circus?”

Andy straightens his brown tie and strides toward Steve. “The media might actually be helping your case. You have a lot of people that believe in you and what you stand for.”

“Maybe you’re right.” Steve watches as a crowd begins to gather outside of the courthouse holding signs. Some say ‘Free Captain America’ others are not as kind.

Steve really didn’t care about what the public thought of him, really he just wanted the trial to be over so he can either go on with being Captain America or be stripped of all responsibilities of being a superhero and just lead a normal life.  

Day3: Prosecutor’s Witnesses/Defense Witnesses:

Colonel James Rhodes was the last witness for the prosecutor. A hush fell over the chattery courtroom as Rhodes entered the room walking with the use of special designed braces made by the only Tony Stark.  

Steve’s heart sank the moment he saw his friend.  Rhodes was a good and honorable man and didn’t deserve the fate that he was served. Looking at his friend and how he was now partially paralized made him wonder if he shouldn’t be found guilty for treason.  The two teams were pitted against each other because both he and Tony were too stubborn to try and work through a compromise.  

He was more concerned for his lifelong friend and keeping him safe and it didn’t occur to him how his actions may affect the rest of his family.  

Court TV Reporter: smooths red dress and then begins report “The prosecutor has just rested his case against Steve Rogers, now it is up to the esteemed Andy Barber to defend Captain America to the jury. Natasha Romanoff was the first witness who spoke on behalf of Rogers. The famous Black Widow explained in detail how she had supported the Accords at first, but soon her mind was changed when faced with the idea that a war hero such as James Barnes could be guilty of the assissianation of Wakanda’s king.  She went on to explain how Steve had always placed the needs of others in front of his own.”

***

As the day ended on the third day, all Steve could think about was how his actions had hurt those most important to him.  Seeing Rhodes in braces come into the courtroom was too much for Steve to handle.

“Maybe we should just forget the case and I just turn myself in and accept the consequences.”

“No! We’ve come too far to just give up now.” Andy tried to reason with Steve to reassure him that he did the right thing. He placed his hands on Steve’s shoulders. Piercing blue eyes staring into the other man’s identical eyes.  It was almost like looking in a mirror.

Before they left the courthouse Andy made Steve agree to sleep on it and not make a rash decision to give up.  

Day 4: Defense Witnesses/Closing Arguments

The next day began as any other, however a somber mood had fallen over the courthouse. Andy had spent an hour reasoning with Steve about if he should take the stand. “It will either hurt your case or make them see the actual hero and man you are. There’s no inbetween. As your attorney, I think we should let the last witnesses testify and then decide whether or not to bring you to the stand.”

“Right now I’ll go with what you say, but if the jury needs to know I turned myself in and agreed to go on trial only as long as the rest of my team were released and their records erased,” Steve states pulling his long frame up from the chair.

“I’ll handle it in closing arguments. They will know where you stand.”  

Court TV Reporter: sporting red, white and blue blazer  “The fourth day of the trial has begun with hot Andy Barber leading the defense for Steve Rogers. The first witness being called today is Nick Fury, Commander of SHIELD. Commander Fury went on record defending Captain Steve Rogers’ impeccable service record.  Fury eyed the prosecution critically as he spoke about the numerous times Rogers had led his team through the dangers that the American public had no idea about due to national security. While the procustion tried to pressure Fury in answering detailed questions regarding specific cases, he calmly and tactfully told them in true Fury fashion that it was none of their business based on national security.

Based on the information Andy received he was fully prepared to handle Tony Stark as a hostile witness.

Tony walked up to stand and as he was sworn in he looked over at his long time friend and ally and took a deep breath.  Steve was and will always be his friend, no matter what happened in the past.  He could now see from Steve’s point of view after everything that has happened that the Accords would need a lot of fine tuning in order or any of them to continue to do what they did best. Save the world.

He had based his assessment of the Accords due to the attack at the U.N., Sokovia, Washington, and New York.  Yes maybe at the time they needed to have some accountability.  Someone to keep them in check, but after seeing what the division had done to him and the rest of the team; the family.  His anger fueled by the knowledge that The Winter Soldier was responsible for the death of his parents. Not understanding that Bucky had no control over what he’d done. The look on his face showed that. Showed the regret and guilt for what he had done.

***

Closing arguments Prosecution:  Ladies and gentlemen the only question in front of you today is if Steve Rogers is guilty of breaking the laws outlined within the Sokovia Accords. Whether he signed it or not has little consequence in this matter. The law is the law for humans and enhanced individuals. I employ you to look past his good nature and only at the facts. Captain Rogers helped cause a conflict among his teammates and aided and embedded James Barnes. With this information at hand you have only one choice to make, what should be done with this former American Hero.

Closing Arguments Defense: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury the only crime that has been committed is hindering this great man from doing his job, that of protecting the people of this nation as well as others from the threats of this world. We have seen attacks brought upon us in forms we cannot imagine. Now, Steve Rogers sits on trial for treason. Treason for what? Helping others and protecting them from the unrighteousness set into play by individuals and organizations who would harm our nation? Captain Rogers willingly turned himself into the government to be placed upon trial so the rest of his team would be released and their records erased. This is the sacrifice made by not a soldier but a good man. Overall, the prosecution has provided no evidence that this man should be found guilty of anything. This trial ladies and gentleman has been a joke, a witch hunt against a superhero defending the country and world.

A mummbring could be heard throughout the courtroom as the trail was turned over into the hands of the jury for deliberation. Steve now could only wait with Andy to see where his fate lay.

Day 5: Verdict

“Is it normal for a verdict to come in so soon?” Steve asks the guard as he quickly straightens his tie. Andy runs into the courthouse and meets Steve outside the courtroom once he heard the news that the jury had already come back with a decision.  With bated breath the two sat silently waiting for the jury to enter.

The foreman handed a piece of paper to the judge and the whole room went silent, it was like there was no one else in the room but him.  His heart raced and his palms sweat with anticipation. Whatever the outcome he would take his licks like had always done. He was a man of honor and integrity.  He had a deal.  His life for that of his team; his family.

***

Court TV Reporter: Sporting a red blazer and sharp blue paint suit. “Breaking news: a verdict has been reached in the trial against Captain Steve Rogers. We are waiting in anticipation for Andy Barber to address the press.” The camera pans to the courthouse steps where Andy walks out onto the steps.

“Mr. Barber, what was the outcome of the trial? Was Steve found innocent? Where is he? What is your impression of the prosecution? Will you appeal?” Questions rain down upon Andy like a storm.  

***

The trial was a whirlwind that seemed to end quickly. Speculations could be heard throughout the crowd that the outcome could not have been good for the jury to have come back with a verdict so quickly.  A hush fell over the crowd of reporters and onlookers from both sides.

“Captain Steve Rogers has been found innocent.” Andy began.  “Thank you to all the men and women of the jury that has found this man innocent of treason.  They found no evidence that Captain Rogers could be remotely capable of betraying his country.  Once again they have shown that this man is a man of true heroism.”
