#rec compilation

Snarry-a-Thon is the longest running Snarry fest, one near and dear to my heart. Many great Snarry stories have been shared for this fest over the years, and I decided to celebrate 15 years of Snarry-a-Thon by creating rec lists for each year, giving my Top 5 Recommendations for each fest year.

Hi anon!

Thank for the ask, it's nice to see the energy of a new fan around!

Yeah, we're still up and running (mostly thanks to my amazing co-mod) and we still take rec requests, though I cannot promise how quick we'll be about replying to them. There's some asks in our inbox from some years ago that are still in the works...

I haven't been that active in this fandom for a couple of years, even if it still owns my heart, so there may be newer fics I'm not aware of. There's a Mogami Arc tag on AO3 with several pages worth of content if you feel like checking it out, but here's my personal recs:

(I wasn't quite sure what kind of Mogami Arc Content you're looking for, so I featured a bunch)

(Note: I'm only including trigger warnings the author doesn't use here. Proceed with caution)

Canon Compliant fics taking place during the Mogami Arc (of which there aren't that many):

I don't step on bugs. by mobbus is short and the opposite of sweet. Much like the Mogami arc, it's chilling and painful to read. I like its take on Mob's pov

A Day in the Life of Mr. Perfect by MarenWithAnM is about the fake Ritsu from the Mogami work and suitably angsty, but its ending is more about actual Ritsu and recovery from the Mogami Arc

Sunless skies by flotar is the most chilling of the bunch to me. It shows how Mogami manipulates Mob's thoughts from Mob's point of view and also has the Mogamiland inhabitants acting scarily realistic with their bullying. Special warning for accusations of peeping and groping against Mob as part of the bullying.

Fics surrounding Mob recovering from the canonical Mogami Arc, ranging from an Angstfest to mostly comfort (of which there are more):

Not The First by Kerink is more angst than recovery, but it is extremely well written and I can just see it happening in canon. Mogami follows Mob around and tries to get him on his side again and doesn't succeed.

Sometimes by orphan_account: After the events of the Mogami Arc, Mob has a bad night. Beware, this is a Hurt No Comfort piece.

A Complex is a Good Thing to Have by this_kills_the_man is another short and sad post-Mogami Arc fic about Mob having a bad night and grappling with what Mogami told him about ESP and emotions.

Zoning Out by lethotep is a neat short character study where Mob reflects on how much he has changed and tries not to think about the bad parts of that change and the trauma of the Mogami Arc. Includes accidental self harm.

Little Blessings by tiredRobin is about Mob choosing to let a curse that hurts him stay in order to cope with the Mogami arc and hiding it from everyone else :(

Tell Me, Mr. Cat by jonbsims has Mob really feeling the after effects from the Mogami arc and refusing to tell Ritsu about it. Another one of the short and painful ones

A taste of what it's like without it by theovenbird also has Mob being affected by the animals of his real world reminding him of the Mogami world and the people around him taking note and trying to help.

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk by SpiritusRex: in which Reigen adopts a cat named milk and Mob worries about her. This is the sweetest of the bunch so far

Snap/Rewind by bikeaeathetic alternates between Mogamiland memories and Mob opening up to Ritsu about what happened. If you like Kageyama brothers bonding, you'll probably like this.

In Did The Years Tick By For You Like I? by Hino Shou and Mob encounter Minori years after the events of the Mogami Arc and Shou confronts her on behalf of his friend.

And for a fic I especially liked, there's the Return. Continue series by UncannyCookie, which is a 100k words long TeruMob fic. The first part in particular focuses on Mob coping with the after effects of the Mogami arc. The characterisation is very on point! Fair warning, it has been unfinished for a few years now.

Here's another last one that's one of my absolute favourite fics in the fandom: The Family That Stays Together, Freezes to Death Slightly Slower Together by nimagine and sweetbabyrayray! 50k+ words of post-Mogami Arc case fic where Ritsu tags along with Mob and Reigen on a new exorcism assignment because he noticed his brother acting odd. Quality team dynamics, quality banter and excellent mixture of angst and hurt/comfort

Alternate Mogami Arcs centering around Mob:

Different shoes by iamcurrentlycravingramen explores what might've happened if Dimple hadn't managed to get to Mob in time and Mob had emerged from the experience much more influenced by Mogami. Short and chilling.

Dark by amaranthinecanicular is about an alternate Mogami Arc where Reigen gets possessed by Mogami instead. It's deliciously angsty, but also - beware - as the title says quite dark!

People can change by theholychesse which is a tragedy where Mogami's world is Mob's reality, leading to him stepping into Mogami's shoes - except he's even worse and more dangerous about it.

Last but not least, A Breach of Trust by Phantomrose96, in which Mogami kidnaps Mob as a kid and Reigen ends up more or less accidentally rescuing him. This fic is famous within the fandom and spawned a lot of spin offs and art, so if you end up liking it, you have a lot of fanworks to look forward to!

Personally, I haven't kept up with the latest updates, but (as with the rest of these) watch out for the trigger warnings in the tags of the work.

Special mention to the river of three crossings by malfaisant which is a verse where Reigen gets Mogami arc'd instead and happens to be one of my favourite fics in this fandom as well!
