hiya there I'm looking for a series of fics but I can't find the titles or the author. It's pretty damn popular and I think the series is called standing in awe of death or something very similar and yet I can't find it? sos (ps i'm a big big fan of your work... y'all are heroes amongst this fandom) (another quick question- do you recommend fics with pairings such as tddk or kiribaku when bakudeku is the endgame?)
Hello! To answer your question, we definitely can recommend love triangle fics/fics where they have exes if youād like! As long as the endgame is BakuDeku (or even a poly ship that includes the two), itās in our jurisdiction.Ā They are always tagged (āex:ship nameā).Ā
However, our default is to list fics that only feature BakuDeku (because, though we understand that there are a lot of multi-shippers, this is the BakuDeku Fic Library. We canāt assume that everyoneās fine with getting non-BakuDeku content, especially since a lot of BakuDeku fans have had their opinions of other ships soured solely because of an//tis), so unless it is stated in the request that they areĀ looking for fics with or are fine with there being TodoDeku/KiriBaku in the fics as long as BakuDeku is the endgame, we will avoid adding them. There have also been request where them being with other people is a part of it (such as the Pining for each other while being with other people mini-list).Ā
Now, when it comes to searching, I donāt know if itās the case with this fandom and its writers, but in the other fandoms Iāve been in, it hadĀ become an unspoken rule to tag the endgame & side ships as a relationship tag and the non-endgame/past pairings as a freeform tag. And thatās why when we search for fics, we narrow it down to fics that are only tagged as BakuDeku (but we donāt exclude ships that donāt involve one of them like Kiri/Kami, of course). That might explain why we have missed some fics, and if so, we are very sorry about that! We rely heavily on AO3ā²s search system, but itās not perfect since they donāt enforce any rules on tagging, but at the same time, we have to trust it or else we would have to comb through uhhhhh

A collection of Ajin!Izuku pieces.
