there are so many of you......where did you all come from........

best fics in the whole world (as of january 1st 2022) below the cut

in the year of our lord 2021 we mourn the loss of one of the greats, @/makerofaqueen, who deactivated earlier this year. let their loss be a reminder that leaving mean comments is a shitty thing to do, and doing so can result in literally bullying somebody off of a website where they are writing stuff for you for free, out of the kindness of their heart. that being said! everyone reading this is now contractually obligated to leave a nice comment on every fic on this list. spread a little new year’s joy to all of my talented friends <3

“You are the son of Apollo?” the King asks.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Will says calmly.

“And why have you come?”

“My kingdom has fallen,” Will tells him, “My family is dead. I have nowhere else to go. I heard of the graciousness of Olympus and how they are receiving refugees from what seems to be the end of times. I came to ask for sanctuary.”

give me one good honest kiss [6,081 words] [valgrace!!!!]

One second Jason is across from him, lounging against the wall; the next, he’s leaning in, closing the distance between them. And then the warmth is back, blooming across Leo’s face, and he’s worried he’s going to start a fire. His eyes subconsciously slide shut. He registers a soft pressure on his cheek, Jason’s hand, and Leo is certain that his face must be burning.

Jason sits back before he’s set aflame, though, and a smile flickers on his face. Leo’s lips tingle. Jason’s hand is still on his cheek. Without thinking, Leo darts his tongue out to lick his lips. Cherry.

“Does that answer your question?”

wordsofink on ao3 (who does not have a tumblr which means you all have to go subscribe to their ao3 now <3 )

tumblr's cool but so is real life [7,532 words]

Nico's not obsessed with Will Solace, the keyboard player in a popular band. Sure, he has a Tumblr, but that was just out of respect for Will's obvious talents and good looks. So what happens when Nico meets his celebrity crush?

Of all the places he could have walked into--of all the tea shops in Ba Sing Se--(of which there are many)--he had chosen the one that Prince-fucking-Zuko worked at.

anna @solace-seekers 

all the things i could do, if i had a little (stolen) money [1,566 words]

Will knew it was finally time. He and Nico had reached a place in their relationship and this was the next step for them. He could not be more excited for it.
