If you were recommending a single masterpiece of Rogue/Gambit fanfiction... what fic/author would you have a newbie read?
Hi, thanks for asking. I love Romy fics and there are so many great ones out there.
I’ve struggled to choose a single fic/author, so here are a couple of favorite authors (and a fic rec for each) that I think would be good for a newbie. I would definitely suggest reading anything these authors have written.
- The Irony Series by @chellerbelles
Rogue and Gambit meet while in the queue to get the Cure.
This is a great series. It has an amazing slow burn with a strong dose of angst. Chelle’s put a lot of care and research into this series. It’s great read and it gives me so many feels each time I read it.
- Devil’s Poison by @codealiaswave
The prophecies of the Thieves Guild aren’t so secret. Everyone knows about Le Diable Blanc. Each Guild did their best to use him to their advantage. But is a lesser known prophecy the key to Assassin rule? If they acquire Le Poison du Diable, will the odds turn back to their favor? Or will the prophecies end in both Guilds’ ruination? Romy, AU.
This is a slow burn, enemies-to-lovers romance. Code has created a complicated, well-researched, should-be-canon version of the Guild and their history. You feel you're really in New Orleans as you read. It’s a story I can’t put down.
And, if I may be so bold, I will add one of my own fics.
- Risk and Reward by @dayenurose
There's an old adage that goes, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. As a thief, Remy LeBeau knows full well that oftentimes the greatest risks come with the greatest rewards. When he starts to fall for the enigmatic Rogue, Remy must decide if the risks are worth the possible reward.
Six times Gambit risks kissing Rogue and one time he earns his reward.
I hope you enjoy these recommendations.
