been home reading gendrya fic after gendrya fic so decided to make a little list/review to help lure others into the black hole that is gendrya fanfiction.

one-shots:

♡ "our love full of storms" by @alltheworldsinmyhead - finished reading this right before i posted. such a beautiful, real and raw piece about a side of arya and gendry's love story that we don't usually get to read about. (ft. sansa the saint & sweet bbs.)

|| 17k+ | E | Modern AU ||

♡ "the many faces of the years that have changed us" by @chocolatecarstairs - the combination of book/tv show lore and real life is incredibly charming and witty! read this three more times since i first read it. (ft. a familiar and adorable interview.)

|| 18k+ | M | Actress/Actor AU ||

♡ "in the heat of moments with your heart playing up cold" by @ariastarke - arya and gendry's growth and relationship in this warmed my heart up more than winterfell's forges ever could. sweet and true to character! (ft. robb's true calling as master of whispers to arya.)

|| 16k+ | M | Canon Divergence AU ||

♡ "half hope" by @scrubclub - i adore everything by this author and this was no different. for persuasion lovers, like me, this was such fun to read! (ft. tension that could kill.)

|| 7k+ | G | Persuasion AU ||

♡ "forging anew" by @crossingwinter - much shorter than my usual picks but no less enjoyable. if only canon season 8 could be as good as this. this gave me all the warm fuzzies! (ft. our fave forge.)

|| 1k+ | G | Post-Canon ||

short(ish) multi-chaps:

♡ "for whatever it's worth" by @nickscratch - romcom flick material! only gendrya would end up falling in love this way. (ft. davos aka dadvos, need i say more?)

|| 26k+ | 3/3 | E | Modern AU |

♡ "twist and shout" by @ellieohno - i love how much effort was put into the detail of the dance world this story is set in. arya and gendry's slowburn was deliciously steamy and a treat to read. (ft. our faves in leotards.)

|| 68k + | 2/2 | E | Dancers AU ||

♡ "war paint" by sherrifandsteel - probably the most outrageous and random concept for an AU, which is why i absolutely loved it! gendrya's chemistry made this great and their chemistry with the other characters made it even greater! would love to join in if this happened in real life. (ft. bran being a badass on wheels.)

|| 15k + | 4/4 | G | Mordern AU ||

♡ "heartburned" by @ghostofbambifanfiction - hands down the funniest fic i've ever read! scared my fam from laughing out loud while i read this. not only is it written in text-style which i always love to read, the author made the best references and paired it with hilariously on point dialogue. (ft. moooo!)

|| 12k+ | 3/3 | G | Modern AU ||

♡ "Cultured in Westeros" by natalia17 & @stagaawolf - a super creative mix of photo editing magic and word magic! this made my shipping heart oh so happy! (ft. gorgeous art & sweet marg.)

|| 5k+ | 2/2 | G | Modern Magazine AU |

long multi-chaps:

♡ "Drift Shift" by PuzzledHats - the way the author merged the pacific rim world with got/asoiaf details was so satisfying and interesting to read. the steamy gendrya scenes were a welcomed bonus to the great story. (ft. lotsa jaegers & jealous tension.)

|| 18k+ | 12/12 | M | Pacific Rim AU ||

♡ "re: weapons (and you)" by @scrubclub - i bow down to this author. never knew how badly i needed history nerds gendrya until i came across this fic. my weird love of writing business e-mails made reading this even more fun! (ft. pod being a cute hoe.)

|| 21k+ | 7/7 | G | Modern AU ||

♡ "love, war and a few things in between" by @scrubclub - another masterpiece by the master. my fave fic from this author. if game of thrones is the love of my young adult life, harry potter is the childhood crush i never quite got over. which is why this combo in a fic, along with a generous mix of quidditch and teen gendrya angst, is a dream come true! (ft. satisfying punches!)

so yeah, let's continue to go on adventures in the fanfics we read & write until our world is ready to have us back. spread love not the virus.
