Hi there!

I’ve been in love with fanfiction for a long time and I’d love to share my first rec list with you. For everyone who has enjoyed “Anne of Green Gables” or the “Anne with an E” netflix show!

I mainly love reading Shirbert (ofcourse), but I did add some other pairings for variety. (And because there are some gems out there!) I tried to include a lot of different genres, so everyone could fine something to their taste.

So here they are, in no particular order:

my anne with an e : We start of with a very short, very sweet one shot. This gives a little glimpse into Gilberts mind after the last episode. Honestly, it leaves you craving for more, but I still wanted to share the sweetness.

Avonlea’s Summer of 1880 Great Game of Capture the Flag! This is such a joyful, vibrant read! I loved every second of it. It's perfect when you miss the whole Avonlea gang together. And there are some sweet Shirbert moments. Maybe my favourite!

Whatever our soulds are made of : A continuation of Anne's and Gilberts love story in letters. Sweet & fluffy. I did like the first part better than the second.

The anatomist : I mainly include this one for the people looking for NSFW fics (don't we all sometimes?). This one is hot and sweet at the same time. If you're into historical accuracy, this one might not be for you (for example, the G spot was not a thing back then, it only got its name in the 1980's).

The choice of a boundless future, with her heart : Okay, who loves the idea of Diana and Winnifred ending up together? Me! If you do too, this one might be for you!

I will be myself : Just to warn you.. This is an Anne/Diana fic. I know it's not the most popular pairing, but I find this way too wel written to not recommend it. I just love Diana's development in this one. So if you're not totally opposed to the pairing, I'd say.. give it a read!

her best friend forever and ever : Wouldn't we all want to see Gertrude and Jo together? Here is a little glimpse into their life. It is lovely!

Trippingly, on the tongue : What if Anne and Gilbert don't find out about the lost letters? What if Gilbert leaves for Paris without clearing the air? This author gives our lovely couple a sevond chance at love, some years later. It's really sweet, with a lot of pining.

The many faces of Gilbert Blythe : If you feel like reading something dramatic, romantic, bittersweet and with a lot of pining, this might be the one for you. It's an alternative universe where Anne does not end up with Matthew and Marilla, but works as a maid for Diana's family. I loved how Anne was written here. She's still so lively and admirable (a lot of fan fics have a tendency to 'flatten' Anne's character, or or exaggerate all her quirky traits and make her really unlikable - I guess she must be hard to write). But she's also a tad more bitter, has more sharp edges. As I said, this story gets quite dramatic, so that might be a turnoff if you're not into that.

I'll see you in the orchard . Last, but definitely not least! The last episode of AWAE (and Shirbert finally getting together) is soo good. But if you're still open to an alternative... What if they've got a little bit more time before Gilbert has to leave again? Ofcourse they would run through the orchard and have such a happy time together. I loved this alternative getting together!

Diane: you're a bit quiet today.
