tpb fic rec list
for @jaceladag
i've tried (and failed) to stick to canon-compliant works, and i've also tried (and also failed) to stick to works that take place only in tpb: some are pre-tpb, a few drift after. alphabetical by title.
as flows the river, calm and deep — just some good leopardfur and sunfish fluff.
conscience, thy name is stonefur — while the title always makes me giggle, this is one of my favourite stonefur fics.
every claw finds its way to a heart — you don't think you need sandpaw and longtail friendship, but you do.
full moon gossiping — just some elders talking.
hand in unlovable hand — major au, but it tore me apart. firepaw is a shadowclan apprentice. kind of. you have to read it.
he's beauty and he's grace, he landed on his face — i like this bit with firestar, and it's some of the very limited fire/sand/grey content that's out there.
how to feel different, how to feel new — yellowfang and cinderpaw bonding.
if lies were cats — the more i reread this one, the more obsessed i become. the game between leopardstar and blackfoot is wonderful, and i love the deep sense of culture they are both imbued with.
kin and kindling — a very good spottedleaf and firepaw fic.
late at night your bones will stir — there's just something so achingly wonderful about this. another fic about tigerstar's death and body.
the light that shines on you — i've recommended this many times, and i'll continue, because it truly is. so good.
a lion with no teeth — stormpaw angst for y'all.
maybe one day, the memories and grief will fade — the only fic that's ever made me feel guilty for not letting thunderclan keep featherkit and stormkit.
the minor fall, the major lift — redtail. the redtail fic. that's all i can say.
my dreams made music — this fic is music, this fic is magic. i reread it and i feel and i hurt. also, fire/grey/sand.
nursery rhymes as told by briarpatches — made me cry. three queens, all of whom went through heartbreak.
once more, with feeling — reincarnation, and it's good. i love. so much of this.
prayers to medea — i will never stop gushing over this fic. i'm obsessed with it. i think about it so much. i breathe it in.
renew — before blackfoot's leadership ceremony.
resonance — stonefur's vigil, or lack thereof.
solitude — dawnpaw is alone when greystripe's kits escape.
the stars could have mourned — a cute bit, featuring stonefur.
that sinless aeaea — i have to have recommended this hundreds of times, but i won't stop. it's the leopard & stone content i crave.
to disappear what troubles you — great exploration of bluestar and yellowfang's relationship.
who sits the tyrant's vigil — i'm a sucker for this kind of thing. also this title inspired an aspect of "the sun won't shine on the both of us."
yesterday and today — this one hurts. a lot. stonefur makes a different choice at the bonehill.
this is far from every good tpb fic, but. these are (some of) my favourites.
