What I've been reading March 2025
January • February • 2024
I have read 5 million words in fanfic this month :D and also, I've surpassed 4k bookmarks on Ao3! 50 of them are my March Fic Recs!
The Geraskier obsession that had me in its grasp since reading the Accidental Warlord in February is still going strong, and the first weeks of march I really read nothing but Witcher fics! Now I've branched out a bit again through bookmark surfing (reading everything a fic author has written, then going to their bookmarks and reading them all, going to the author of the best one, rinse and repeat), and I've also read some James Bond 00Q, Marvel mainly ClintCoulson, NCIS Tibbs and H50 McDanno! Very slash heavy last month for main ships, I also ended up reading a bunch of femslash rarepairs in basically all of the fandoms I was reading in, looks like it might be time to get back to more of that xD probably Avorah, what with the new season of Hacks coming out soon!
When it comes to books, I've really just continued the bird book from the month before - made it to page 100 before I had to bring it back to the library last week. I'll for sure borrow it again! Check out this pretty illustration:
Whose fic I read is a lot more spread out than last month (tho some Witcher repeats, & I'm not spam tagging ppl who I've already tagged last month xD I'm not sure anyone but me cares about these stats anyway but I do like to give a little shoutout to everyone whose Tumblr I can find) , 37 works (6%) by penandinkprincess, 34 (6%) by whisperedstory, and also still 11 works (2%) by inexplicifics who was at 14% last month because of all the accidental Warlord works, and should probably be even higher wordcount wise bc the fics are so long!
And the new ones: 15 works (3%) also Witcher fics by @hummingbee-o0o hummingbeeooo and 14 (2%) by @suzukiblu suzukiblu, 13 (2%) 00q by @beaubete beaubete, and once again Witcher for the others: 12 (2%) @livingintheworldofstories snowkatze, 10 (2%) fandomtrash24601, 9 (2%) @eyesupmarksman eyesupmarksman, 9 (2%) @lurikko lurikko... So yeah apart from one 00q it's still all Witcher really xD
Thank you all for your many wonderful stories, allowing me to read so much :D
Of course I also read fics from authors with less fics or where I just stumbled across one and didn't get around to reading more yet, some of my faves were:
NCIS Tony/Gibbs
Something New by summersquares - Gibbs gets some new neighbors and a dog, and later a new love...
Hawaii 5-0 McDanno
Lost at the Edge of the Sun by @gilajames - Danny tries to hide from the team that he is homeless.
The Witcher Geraskier
when you feel bad about what you've done by ollyollyoxenfree - Jaskier is so used to bickering with Geralt that the mountain argument barely registers for him - but Geralt feels guilty!
of bards and witches and witchers by writethroughthenight - Jaskier and Yennefer are siblings. Jaskier made everyone forget that though...
James Bond 00q
Sigh No More by @dhampir72 - "Bond wants nothing more than for someone, just once, to be waiting for him at the airport when he returns home."
Remember Me by @consultingwriters, which I actually had an (fic spoilers!!) inspo idea for (but of course no energy to write it... Leaving the idea out there for maybe someone else to pick up!) - James forgets his gay revelation and his relationship with Q.
Fidelity by @marlowe-tops - Q is doomed to always fall for someone who won't be loyal to him. He thinks his unrequited crush on Bond will let him stay happily single without risking further heartbreak...
Out Tonight by @starredthought - Q is a drag queen, and James has many feelings, also on this but mainly on other matters entirely!
Thanks y'all's, really bringing me joy with all the fics <3
Those fics and more can be found in my Ao3 bookmarks and recs, feel free to check them out!
No pressure tagging everyone who sees this to show us your own fic or book recs and/or make some more Ao3 bookmarks :D (in a new post pls)
