top five griddlehark fics you would recommend. or just five, if "top" is too hard to choose.

not a top 5, but just 5 that come to mind first, in no particular order. i'm posting this on mobile which was been doin some weird things w links recently so i HOPE. the links work out ok.

hold you like a weapon by @gideonisms (40k, modern AU Gideon and Harrow dance together at the 9th house ballet and fitness. Gideon is roped into a couples dance competition with Harrow, and shenanigans ensue. SO WELL WRITTEN i love this fic deeply. some amazing art for this recently also by @iceboxhag i HIGHLY recomend checking out. 18+)

til the cows come home by varygud (10k, postcanon, Alecto has revived the cowwall cows and Gideon and Harrow are tasked with their care. Tender, heartbreaking and healing, deeply funny and extremely well written. made me cry positive. T)

the world hit her like a fall by @a-big-apple (8k. I think about this fic ALL THE TIME.... Modern figure skating AU with a HtN style twist. told across multiple time points, through multiple POVs. incredibly lovely fic. T)

waiting and better days by badgerjaw (9k. LOVELY fic. made me cry positive. Modern AU sickfic which I usually do not go for but TRUST ME on this one. it's good and sweet and lovely. T)

train up a swordsman / to stab you in the back by @nose-coffee (94k. GIDEON THE SEVENTH AU... aka what if Gideon was the 7th house cavalier. Excellent character voices, some of my favorite in text meme references etc, very interesting plot and some FUN twists along the way. M)

ETA: the links all broke so ok hoping these are better???
