I have just joined the party like 2 decades late and I don't know how to use fanfiction.net

awww i don't think anyone's ever asked me this! unfortunately the list isn't all that long because, well, it's an old fandom and most of the fics are on ff.net rather than ao3 and though i know how to use it, wading through those is a greater task than i could ever embark on (again), and unfortunately one of my faves has been deleted off of ao3 too 💔

(it was about Cox moving in temporarily with JD after breaking up with Jordan, then ending up living there and basically doing everything backwards by dating before their first kiss even — if anyone has that fic downloaded by any chance pls pls pls hit me up)

Second Opinions by dashwood

A collection of unrelated bits and scenes; mostly inspired by moments from the show.

[okay, so, this is my absolute favourite jdox fic ever and it's actually a collection of oneshots and outtakes, and without exception anytime i rewatch the show i read through them because i've never read anyone get these characters so perfectly before. highly, highly recommend]

Heart on your sleeve by dashwood

He feared that he was in for another variation on one of their greatest hits: The soulmark on his arm and why the hell he had decided to shack up with Jordan when he could have gone for the doe-eyed disaster whose thoughts kept flickering across his skin in a never-ending stream of consciousness instead.

[i'm not usually one for soulmate AUs but this one warms me all over every time, what can i say, i'm a sucker for these two idiots dancing around each other]

the hardest thing i'll ever have to lie by lunarqueens

“Look, Newbie,” he said, not even trying to hide the panic seeping into his voice this time as he started to back away. “Just go to bed. I’m leaving now, just -” “I’m in love with you.” He froze. (or; JD gets drunk and Perry takes him home. JD makes a confession that has the potential to change, well, everything.)

[summary says it all pretty much. it's angsty, it's soft and just my kinda painful with a happy ending <3]

Bad Days & Not-So-Bad Days by lunarqueens

Perry Cox isn't used to feeling jealous. In fact, as a rule, he doesn't get jealous, period. (Until he does.) (And, as usual, it's Newbie's fault.)

[this is more of a silly one, but it's fun and if you're into the jealousy trope this is definitely a good pick]

hope you'll enjoy reading these and if you do, show some love to the authors, no kudos or comment is ever too late, mwuah <33

who:

yells at rom-com characters to, “stop being so stupid and just talk,”

definitely ben, which i think is so funny considering he is emotionally stunted but he totally does this to try and pretend that he doesn’t like rom-coms, even though callum absolutely knows how much ben loves them

and who spends most of the movie watching the other fondly?

okay, callum’s favourite thing is to just watch ben’s disgruntled commentary at literally anything they watch because ben’s incapable of shutting up through a whole film. callum literally just finds it so sweet how he complains about the characters and how ben’s trying to pretend he hates the movie or whatever but is actually so invested in it, enough to get angry at the plot lmao. also ben gets a really soft confused look on his face and callum just wants to kiss it and they almost never get through an entire movie without ending up making out on the sofa (unless they’re with someone else, and sometimes not even then)(jay has definitely told them off for it on multiple occasions)(but he actually secretly finds it kinda sweet when they end up like asleep on top of each other)

i would love to see Roman win, he’s been my favourite from the start!

“Never had a chance to do it before, It's nice.”

Chapter 34

"...Did you just kiss my forehead?" Liam asked incredulously. Theo shoved him away.
