zagene library

YES I know

I would say that there aren’t really any super “classic” fics because the ship/tag is so small, but i did make a list! i just posted it, or you can find it here

anon asked if I had any classics to recommend. while that’s pretty hard to say, because the zagene fandom is still relatively small, there are a few that either I really really love, or have a lot of hits. if you have any fics that you think are “classics” within the fandom, shoot me a little link in the inbox!

swimming in our sins again by halfwheeze

description: Your ao3 says to leave you prompts so um, zagene: "Are you flirting with me?" "Have been for the past x years but thanks for noticing," with Eugene as the flirter

chapters: 1/1

words: 1045

commentary: this is the perfect mix of classic trope and genuine creativity. there’s also a cheesy harry potter related pickup line, so judge that as you will. halfwheeze is consistently a blessing to the Buzzfeed fandoms.

i’m blowing your job by fringewrites - NSFW

description: Based on the Sexy Alcohol Taste Test. Zach gets in his own head, and he wants to try the blowjob shot again. Eugene isn't sure what that's got to do with him.

chapters: 2/2

words: 10,187

commentary: this one is VERY NSFW. beyond that, it’s spot on with characterization, in my opinion, and generally is everything one might want from a smut fic that has plot. 

just like kisses on the necks of best friends. by holdingnotoyou - NSFW

description: It's time, Zach decides as he pulls his laptop into his lap, it's now or never.

chapters: 1/1

words: 9,145

commentary: this is, in my opinion, the trans!zach fic to read if you could only read one(lobviously, you can read them all, and you should.) not only is it beautifully written and smutty as all hell(I believe it pops up on my zagene smut list), it’s exactly the kind of college au that zagene needs. 

puppy love by tryasockon

description: Zach's Rebranding Strategy for High School hadn't included a boyfriend that was, without a doubt, cooler than he is, but he's not going to complain about plan improvisation.

chapters: 2/2

words: 18,448

commentary: this. is. my. favorite. zagene fic. i think. i have so many that i absolutely adore, but i think if i was going to give one a medal, it would take it. it has everything a wonderful fic needs - spot on characterizations, a solid highschool au, it’s long as hell, and most importantly, dogs! it’s adorable, i’ve recommended it before and i will again. give it a read. 

of mornings and vegas weddings by Hugabug

description: "You know, out of the both of us I thought I was going to be the one with the Las Vegas wedding."

chapters: 1/1

words: 1,153

Must be under 25

hey nonnie! i just posted a four-fic smut list for your enjoyment :)

ah yes, time for maggie to sin, and sin hard. enjoy little cuties, here’s a list of some very nsfw fics for y’all. if you’re like, twelve, please don’t click any of the links below.

‘til you’re burning up, ‘til you get enough by punk_rock_yuppie

description: Zach pulls off. "Feels nice? That's what every dude wants to hear. That's great. Feels nice, sure." He's not really upset, he's grinning far too much for that, and he works his hand lazily around Eugene's base.

"Nice is all you get so far," Eugene retorts even as his more refined thinking skills go out the window. The pressure around the base of his cock is enough to keep him on edge but not coming. "If you keep going, maybe you'll get a better score."

Zach shrugs. "It's what I came here to do, isn't it?"

chapters: 1/1

words: 2676

commentary: this is based off of the dirty alcohol taste test video(specifically eugene and zach’s blowjob shot - you know the one), and it’s pretty amazing. highly recommend. 

just like kisses on the necks of best friends. by alvaughn

description: It's time, Zach decides as he pulls his laptop into his lap, it's now or never.

chapters: 1/1

words: 9145

commentary: okay, if you’ve ever talked to me, you probably know that I absolutely fangirl over anything by alvaughn, and this one is no different. also, it features trans!zach(ftm), so be aware of that! this is also a beautiful consent-positive fic, so be prepared to love these dorky boys

Good Boy by anonymous

description: He hadn’t been able to help himself: teasing Zach in front of the camera was just too much fun.

chapters: 1/1

words: 3054

commentary: vaguely bdsm; dom!zach, be ready for some strong dom/sub action

i only want to be alone with you. by alvaughn

description: "You can't call me dude after we just fucked, Eugene."

chapters: 1/1

words: 1007

hello my lovelies!

as you’ve probably noticed, I’ve been super inactive. I’m taking four AP classes this schoolyear and to be honest, it’s kicking my ass. that said, I’m on break for the next week and am hoping to be as active as possible(and also to queue some goodies for ya lil cuties). since I’ve been on semi-hiatus, this wonderful little blog has passed 500 followers!!! thank you all so much! 

please, send in your asks and recs (both to me and to @unsolvedmaggie - which is where I post all of my fanfic, standrew, zagene, and shyan related)!

also, I’m thinking about putting up an ask-the-admin type thing sometime today, so give this post a like if you’d be interested in asking me some questions!

I hope you’re having a good day(or night)! whatever it is, wherever you are, I hope it’s a good one <3

I don’t know of any that follow the “we’re fake dating so my parents stop asking when I’ll get a boyfriend” type trope. The only fic I can think of that comes semi-close to matching fake dating is something I wrote (lmao, shameless self promo). It’s a tropey Zach-in-danger, Eugene saves him and also pretends to be his boyfriend type trope, and you can find it here!

Okay, so this is kind of complicated because obviously, people are complicated, but I’ll do my best. I’m also gonna do more about zach and eugene because i’m assuming you’ll be focusing on them in your fic

so here are some things that you should keep in mind/things i think fit with their personalities when you’re writing them

Keith - loyal, super bright and happy, goofy, more the type of person to try to make you laugh when you’re sad than try to give advice, would never choose between his friends, super supportive but will tell you if you’re fucking up

Ned - prioritizes his friends and family above all else, competitive, sometimes overly/brutally honest but would lie, has a lot of feelings about things, opinionated

Zach - although he complains a lot, he isn’t just a whiner, he goes through a lot and it has made him strong, pushes through pain, will complain but doesn’t want to ask something of his friends that he thinks would burden them, will literally die for his friends, loves his dog, occasionally very insecure but also has moments of self love, physically affectionate, wants to be honest but would rather lie than hurt his friend’s feelings, remembers little things about people like their favorite candy or something, and then will surprise them with that just because he think it’ll make them happy, not to receive gratitude
