find me in the ashes

Hey, sincaraz nation, at this point i read almost all the sincaraz long fics we have and i guess caring is sharing so here is my suggestions with small summary to some of them. Also i didn’t put here some of my favourites so we need a part two, yeah?) :)

I’m going to rank them, but remember my opinion is subjective and sth i didn’t get maybe will become your favourite fic ever!! (and vice versa), let’s start

- Get You Where You Wanna Go, If You Know What I Mean by deliriouslyshipping - 138,845 words, 34/34 chapters.

f1 jannik au. This story is about being scared, believing in someone and feeling, any feelings you can imagine. Be ready to a lot of hot scenes, overall 10/10 with their insane chemistry between each other. Good angst in the middle and then… you need to read last chapters by yourself, it’s amazing.

- the seas catch fire by japrufrocks - 68,313 words, 5/5 chapters.

Real setting, 2029 yr. My favourite fanfiction about them, you really can’t stop once you started, it’s about love, pain and coping mechanisms and their consequences. The tag from this fic - “everything is about tennis except for tennis which is about love” is the best description for it. But be ready for a lot of angst and don’t touch if you know can’t handle it rn(or just cry). Good start to get into the Tennis RPF overall. 10/10

- The Last Tyrolean Dynasty by thensheappeared - 85,583 words, 13/25(ongoing)

Au with Carlos nanny for kids of, estate owner, Jannik. Once i saw someone commented this a “more novel then a fic” and they were so so right. Domestic, slow-burn fic what makes you cry from all the emotions, especially last chapters, go read it!! be ready it’s a real slow-burn and sometimes feels tense. + I have to warn you even if updates are regularly, they happen about once a month. 10/10

- the ghost from years before by kira_donow - 76.416 words, 13/17(ongoing).

original setting with Carlos injured what caused his retirement. And if you love angst you have to read it. It’s absolutely masterpiece what will touch everything in your soul with those boys own problems and breakdowns. Amazing work, really underrated imo, but be careful because angst here is dark, not easy to read, even with amazing writing style it contains. Only in last chapters we might can see some sun behind the clouds. Author updates regularly(about 1-2 times per month). 10/10.

- Sinners by deliriouslyshipping, 122,576 words, 14/14.

Mafia au. The author is not joking about dark topics, so please check the tags before reading. Not my favourite work from this author(and i adore this creator!!) but definitely worth your attention. The relationship between jannik and carlos here is absolutely insane and you really can’t just stop reading this. You can feel how many resources and time were put in this project. The relationships here progress step by step as Carlos’s own convictions and resistance do the same. Many references from classic books, really enjoyable, but not easy to read. So if you like mafia and codependency you really should read that. 10/10

- Half a life by Youthgoneoscarwilde for Lauraaa26 - 79,469 words, 38/38 chapters.

Carlos and Jannik soccer players au, many angst, many heartbreak, was really dark at some point. Read if you want to read something about domestic abuse(not from jannik/carlos of course!!!) and hurt/comfort. 8/10

- C'est la flamme, qui enflamme sans brûler by Nephiphi - 76,896 words, 17/?(ongoing)

Au Carlos bodyguard to prince Jannik. I would not call it really “light work” because at some point angst is really impressive, but overall with author really catchy(in a good way) writing style you should try it. The story that easy to read even with all the “prince” ongoing problems. Have to say chapters are solid and author updates really regularly, the fic worth its popularity. 9/10

- you pull my strings (and I like it) by liefde - 58,987 words, 11/11 chapters.

Au Jannik singer. Surprisingly heavy story, but it’s definitely worth it, +Jannik here is really well-written. You can feel emotions of theirs so good, have to admit that the author’s style is virtuous, good one to start getting into au world of them. And the way autor describes feelings and italian music - pretty sure liefde(author) is deeply connected to at least one of this topics. 10/10

- Begin Again by pandaa55 - 56,945 words, 10/10 chapters.

Uni au where carlos is college athlete. Not exactly light, but kind of story you will read in one evening and sleep with a smile on your face, seeing them in your dreams. Story tells about hope, toxic experience and being scared, but still act brave(not always of course). Amazing Iga Swiateck and Jack here!! Read this if you are tired of sincarazes always being alone, they finally have friends here :). 9/10

- my reputation's never been worse, so (you must like me for me) by flamballboyant. - 47,726 words, 10/15 chapters(not ongoing)

Au writer Carlos. I really don’t usually start and recommend not finished/ongoing fics overall but this really worth it. The healthiest relationships between them i ever read and they make you smile again and again. Especially love how many sides Carlos have here and how well-written are his dilemas. The last update was 17th august 2025 so let’s hope author will come back and bless us with next chapters with them. 10/10.

- Bruises by fralue - 45,671 words, 44/? chapters(not ongoing ig)

Real setting. Not something you usually read but believe me with every chapter story gets into you and every chapter is better then previous one. Really complicated relationships between them which they try to solve out. Kinda sad author left us on such a cliffhanger and just not really my cup of tea, but if you love complexity and compact chapters - try for sure!! 7/10

- call me by your name by bangonoscah - 45,334 words, 14/14 chapters.

Au journalist Jannik. Also the story you read in one evening and then think about this for days instead of your final exams. The beginning is absolutely catchy and the all story overall written in very well tempo which will make it impossible to stop reading till 3 am. Have to say the last chapters will make you smile so much your cheeks will be hurting. Additionally the love language Jannik uses makes you reconsider all things you ever written. Please read it if you love aus!! 9/10

- crooked the road by restless5oul - 43,901 words, 16/16 chapters.

Injured and retired Carlos. Dark story, really interesting way how they get connected to each other more and more step by step. This story is about… recovery and starting believing again. Pretty dark so reconsider your mental health before reading this. 8.5/10

- Wishing on Dandelions by deliriouslyshipping - 33,956 words, 11/? chapters(ongoing)

A/B/O carlos is pregnant(not from Jannik). Even with hard setting this story is surprising light(knowing the author it’s even more surprising) makes you smile and believe the good things exist in hard times. Confident alpha Jannik here, something you should read if you like “roommates” trope and hopeful stories(but angst is coming, believe me). And I had to put here at least one a/b/o story, because it’s ao3, isn’t it? :) 8.5/10
