#but there’s tons of cowboys at my uni

cowboy gojo who wakes up early to watch the sunrise. he makes his rounds, feeding all his animals and giving all his cows a smooch on the head before moving onto his daily chores.
cowboy gojo who hires you, a newly graduated vet, to take care of his animals exclusively bc he loves them that much. you don’t mind, he’s paying you handsomely and it’s peaceful in the small town. plus all the animals are kind and welcoming, just like gojo.
cowboy gojo who watches with a fond smile as you give his horse a regular checkup. she can be temperamental with others, but his horse immediately takes a liking to you and she even follows you around the ranch sometimes when you’re out and about. he watches as you hold each chicken carefully, talking to them and cooing over them as you do your best to make sure they’re in good health.
cowboy gojo who goes out in a tank top tucked into his jeans when the weather gets too hot, a smile on his face as he wipes the sweat off his forehead before getting back to work, muscles flexing as he moves stuff around his ranch. you can’t help the way your eyes stray to his muscular thighs, straining against the tough denim of his pants as he carried bundles of hay to his truck.
cowboy gojo who helps you get used to living in the town, taking you into the city and introducing you to everyone. he takes you to the farmers market, the summer festivals, and even to the local rodeo, where you find out he’s the top competitor.
cowboy gojo who goes all out in his next competition, winning in the barrel race and the calf tying before giving the crowd a victorious grin. he makes his way over to where you’re waiting on the sidelines, climbing off his horse before placing his hat on your head, earning gasps from those around you. gojo’s never done that before, never even implied that he’s been interested in anyone. but he’s just made his interest in you public knowledge.
cowboy gojo who offers to show you how to ride his horse, laughing when you give him a hesitant look. his hands are rough and strong as he pulls you up, positioning you in front of him before reaching around you to grab the reins. his broad chest is pressed up to your back as he slips the reins into your hands, his fingers enveloping yours as he leans in close to whisper instructions.
cowboy gojo who turns bright red when you turn around and pluck his hat from his head, placing it on yours before leaning back into him. he almost chokes on his breath when you give him a sly smile, commenting on how simple riding seems and if there was anything else on the ranch that could give you a bigger challenge.

Hiiii I don't know if you've already done one like this, but who are your favorite fic writers? I always love your recs and I'd love to know who your favorites are so I can check them out! Also I love your fics!
Tumblr media
hii! thank you so much for this ask I can’t believe I hadn’t though of doing this before! 
most of these authors are people that I have talked with at least once before, and I can vouch for their character 1000%. reading their writing is so much more gratifying not only because it’s well written, but because of the satisfaction of knowing that they are truly good individuals as well. I am also thinking about doing one of these recs for artists and other content creators as well if anyone would be interested in that! 
I'm in the middle of midterms right now so my brain is very scattered and I'm sure I’ve forgotten some people, but know that there is no way I could possibly list all of the wonderful authors that have made a difference in my life. but please check out these authors and leave them some love if you do! as always, please stick to your own interests and don’t spread any hate! 
----
please let me know if I have used any incorrect pronouns or linked anything incorrectly, or if you'd like me to unlink to something! :)

where do I start? the plots she comes up with are 10/10, the writing is absolutely amazing, and she’s just generally a wonderful and considerate person. you can just tell by reading her work how passionate she is about writing when you read her work. each and every one of her fics is a huge yes from me and I'm so excited to for all of her wips! and it definitely doesn’t hurt that she’s an amazing person in general either!

they only have one work out as of this date but oh boy it’s so so good!! the imagery here is just on an entirely different level. they make it so easy to visualize the scenes and it makes the fics that much more lovely to read! (+ happy birthday ashley!)

andy is amazing!! I just finished their most recent fic last night and I'm obsessed. I love the dialogue with their works and they always manage to write raw emotion so beautifully. the angst is wonderful as well! their work is always just the right amount of length and detail to always leave you wanting more :)

I'm not entirely sure why hayley doesn’t think her fics are anything less than amazing. she only has two out currently but I can’t tell you how excited I am to see some of what she’s been teasing on twitter! she has a gift with her scenes! the way she describes the settings makes you feel like you’re there with the characters, and it’s easy to get lost in the words (in the best way!).

TONS of awesome fics to choose from! there’s definitely something for everyone here. anitra is a lovely person in general and I, as well as many others, appreciate her dedication to writing consistently lovely fics over and over again. I still haven’t made my way through all of them yet but I have no doubt I’ll love them! she also runs a *podcast* for other fic writers and reviews which spreads so much positivity and happiness in our corner of the fandom :) she’s amazing!

super super talented! their fics are always well written and they’re probably my favorite fantasy writer in the fandom!! I really like the magic elements and the different takes on popular mythical tropes, and you can really feel the emotion through the dialogue and the settings. despite having a lot of fantasy aspects, every fic feels very realistic which is usually very hard to do with these topics!

I'm a sucker for literally all of emma’s storylines. I think I've reread her most recent fic about five times now! even after not writing for a bit it’s clear that the talent never left! she’s definitely got some classics in her portfolio and I can’t wait to see what’s coming :)

I'm pretty sure everyone already knows about this author but they’re so incredibly talented and their fics are some of my favorites so I couldn’t leave them off of this list! they have thirty two lovely fics as of this day to choose from for this fandom, as well as a few for others as well. they’re another author that has something for everyone! there’s just something about the way they write that lets you get lost in it. I always finish their fics with a smile on my face and feeling fulfilled from another wonderful read!

I still need to finish reading the rest of their works but I cannot say enough about ‘collision’! this author’s attention to detail and dedication to accuracy and descriptions in their writing is just incredible! you can tell just how much time and effort went into it, and, in my opinion, it was so so worth it! I admire them so much :) it’s so refreshing when these kinds of tropes are well done and you can just get lost in the writing from the first word down to the last line!

another fandom favorite! I've been absolutely obsessed with ‘feeling it out’ since it was first published! they write a/b/o (and everything else!) so well that they make it look easy! the characterizations are so unique and I've never read anything like them before - I can’t get enough! I always look forward to their posts and already know it’ll be one of my new favorites!

I really admire this author because of the way they tend to go against the grain. they write the things they want and it’s obvious that they enjoy it, and I really admire their ability to do so! there are tons of options here as well! (check the tags before reading!)

their first fic still has me absolutely floored - it’s definitely one of my all time favorites! their writing is usually between 10k - 20k but it’s amazing the amount of detail and plot they can articulate in that length. if you’re looking for a simple, cute, lovely read, you’ve chosen the right author! :)

I'm not sure if they want me to tag their main account so I'll just tag the one above :) this author definitely has a way with words! I only found their work recently and it hasn’t disappointed throughout the many rereads in the time since. they write tension and emotion beautifully and their characterization is lovely! I'm looking forward to anything else they might publish!

pretty sure I've already talked about this author several times but I couldn’t leave them off! their fics are written so beautifully and realistically that you cannot put it down until it’s over. the first time I found them I fell down a rabbit hole and read all of their works within the week! I reread their fics on a monthly basis and I have absolutely no regrets.

I so much admire the variety in these fics, as well as the time and dedication this author has put forth for readers. it’s obvious how much they love writing! everything from the meet-cute’s to the smut is exceptionally well written and immersive. their work has been and will always be very close to my heart , so if you check them out please leave them some love! :) (also please make sure to check the tags before you read!)

I'm sure this author is also no stranger! they truly have a gift for writing such aesthetically pleasing and wonderfully worded fics, stock full with dreamy settings and descriptions. their writing is just on a whole different kind of genre and I don’t think I'll ever get tired of reading and rereading their works!

reading this author’s fics is almost like you’re being allowed into a private moment between the characters. sometimes I even hold my breath when I'm reading so I don’t disturb the moment! this writing is soft and lovely and every single scene is thick with emotion in the best way. the chemistry between their characters is insane!

I have yet to read this author’s second work but I have no doubt it will be just as absolutely amazing as the first one was! I am amazed at their ability to twist such a classic storyline and completely make it feel like their own, and to do so effortlessly. I adore their attention to detail and originality in their fics and I can’t wait until I have some time to dig into their latest one! (and it helps that they’re just a very lovely person!)

reading this author’s work is like getting immersed in another world. I have yet to find another author that can so beautifully write this melancholic and yet morally satisfying type of aura through their words. this is another person that writes dialogue and emotion very tactfully, and it really resonates when reading. (check the tags!)

oh boy I'm already sweating! I really really enjoy the way that this author describes and I hope they come back at some point! all of their storylines are so unique and very refreshing. not to mention how they have a way of writing smut that literally has me so hooked into the story that I forget to breathe sometimes! truly a fantastic writer!

one of my all time favorite authors!!! I've been reading their works for years now and I still can’t get enough. it’s soft and lovely and warm and just very very comforting in general. they have a way of making their fics seem like an entire little world no matter how short or long they are. they haven’t written in a bit but I'll continue dutifully waiting on a notification! 
✰ sunflowerstyles
ao3 | @sunflowerstyles
common work tags/tropes: bottom Louis, hurt/comfort, daddy kink, 
personal recs: x , x 
this author is kind of like the b!L version of mercutionotromeo, at least in my opinion. their last fic was published in 2016 but I've reread their work so many times since then in hopes they'll come back at some point! this person does a wonderful job with angst & hurt/comfort and when I'm in the mood for those tropes these fics are definitely some of my first contenders! (make sure to check the tags! some of the hurt/comfort aspects may be triggering for some readers). lots of emotion and very soft, loving fics! 
----
please let me know if you need any more! happy reading and I hope you find some more lovely authors to choose from! :)

Hi Ravens fans,I am a UK based Ravens fan and I thought you may like to hear my story ahead of the game in the UK, I got into the NFL through a cheap purchase of a second hand Madden in a bargain bin in a video game store after I won a gift card to that game store in a pub quiz. When I turned them game on and flicked through the teams trying to decide who to play as I landed on the Ravens, mainly because of my love of the TV show the Wire, little did I know then I was to be hooked in by these unknown names Flacco, Lewis and Reed. I played Madden throughout the summer and started getting into the sport with it not being in season I went on Pirate Bay and downloaded old NFL games to watch and learn more.My first season was 2010, I had o friends in to the NFL at this time and watched alone, left heartbroken by our Steelers loss, in the summer I went to America with my family, my brother had started watching me play madden and as we where in New york decided to root for the Jets (Been years of pain since). that year I got a few of my friends into the sport and found a few people in my home town of Liverpool who followed it and started to play fantasy football, Cundiff wide left ended the season in heartbreak and at that moment I really knew I was going nowhere I was so upset by this bizarre sport miles away, I also attended my first game in this season Bears vs Buccs at Wembley.2012, what a year, in the Summer I left uni, and with a UK gripped in a financial crises I headed for Canada and better opportunities, my one aim while living and working in Canada was get to Baltimore, I booked a return flight from Toronto for the Steelers game and headed to America. I arrived in Baltimore with little idea of the city, arriving on game day the city was buzzing the train I got from the airport downtown was filling with fans, when I arrived I chose not to check in just dumped my bag in the hotel so I could go straight to the game. Tailgaiting blew me away, I am a big fan of real football over here and had never seen anything like it thousands of fans, when I chatted to people and told them I was a UK fan I got free beer and food from various people, the game started and i was overwhelmed by the pregame hype, sadly my hero Ray Lewis missed the game through injury and the result was horrific Charlie Batch in a defensive slug one for the Steelers, I headed to a restaurant by the Orioles stadium after the game and a random group of fans let me sit with them they where shocked with my knowledge and passion for the NFL. I followed by staying in Baltimore for two days I bought a ton of Merchandise (Including a Ray Rice jersey I later binned) and I loved the city, its a beautiful place but the people really stood out to me, so many chatted for ages about my UK love of the Ravens and bought me things showed me round a groundskeeper even let me in Camden Yards for photos! We won the superbowl, I watched in my living room in Toronto and danced around like a madman.The next season the Ravens played in Buffalo which is just over the border from Toronto, again I headed down, this time on a bus full of Canadian Bills fans, again we lost to an awful quarterback EJ Manuel, Flacco was horrible, the ride back with abuse from drunken Bills fans was a nightmare.The next year I moved back to England, since then the NFL has exploded, so many people follow, the games are a feature - I have been to Cheifs vs Lions and Jets vs Dolphins int he past two years, but then I saw the Ravens where coming, having been over to America twice and seen two awful losses I hope this changes my curse, I live in Liverpool in Englands north and I am coming down for the weekend dragging my Cowboys supporting best mate along he will be one of us for the weekend, I am not a big fan of the city of London but its a great place to visit as a tourist so I hope all Americans travelling enjoy, if you get a chance check out some of the rest of the country! I cant wait to see us here in the UK and I hope I can meet Ray Lewis at the pub on Saturday and repay the fact I never got to see him live! If anyone else has any stories they want to share I would love to hear about how other fans got into the Ravens and if they got the same amazing hospitality in Baltimore. via /r/ravens

hii! thank you so much for this ask I can’t believe I hadn’t though of doing this before!
most of these authors are people that I have talked with at least once before, and I can vouch for their character 1000%. reading their writing is so much more gratifying not only because it’s well written, but because of the satisfaction of knowing that they are truly good individuals as well. I am also thinking about doing one of these recs for artists and other content creators as well if anyone would be interested in that!
I'm in the middle of midterms right now so my brain is very scattered and I'm sure I’ve forgotten some people, but know that there is no way I could possibly list all of the wonderful authors that have made a difference in my life. but please check out these authors and leave them some love if you do! as always, please stick to your own interests and don’t spread any hate!

where do I start? the plots she comes up with are 10/10, the writing is absolutely amazing, and she’s just generally a wonderful and considerate person. you can just tell by reading her work how passionate she is about writing when you read her work. each and every one of her fics is a huge yes from me and I'm so excited to for all of her wips! and it definitely doesn’t hurt that she’s an amazing person in general either!

andy is amazing!! I just finished their most recent fic last night and I'm obsessed. I love the dialogue with their works and they always manage to write raw emotion so beautifully. the angst is wonderful as well! their work is always just the right amount of length and detail to always leave you wanting more :)

I'm not entirely sure why hayley doesn’t think her fics are anything less than amazing. she only has two out currently but I can’t tell you how excited I am to see some of what she’s been teasing on twitter! she has a gift with her scenes! the way she describes the settings makes you feel like you’re there with the characters, and it’s easy to get lost in the words (in the best way!).

TONS of awesome fics to choose from! there’s definitely something for everyone here. anitra is a lovely person in general and I, as well as many others, appreciate her dedication to writing consistently lovely fics over and over again. I still haven’t made my way through all of them yet but I have no doubt I’ll love them! she also runs a *podcast* for other fic writers and reviews which spreads so much positivity and happiness in our corner of the fandom :) she’s amazing!

super super talented! their fics are always well written and they’re probably my favorite fantasy writer in the fandom!! I really like the magic elements and the different takes on popular mythical tropes, and you can really feel the emotion through the dialogue and the settings. despite having a lot of fantasy aspects, every fic feels very realistic which is usually very hard to do with these topics!

I'm a sucker for literally all of emma’s storylines. I think I've reread her most recent fic about five times now! even after not writing for a bit it’s clear that the talent never left! she’s definitely got some classics in her portfolio and I can’t wait to see what’s coming :)

I'm pretty sure everyone already knows about this author but they’re so incredibly talented and their fics are some of my favorites so I couldn’t leave them off of this list! they have thirty two lovely fics as of this day to choose from for this fandom, as well as a few for others as well. they’re another author that has something for everyone! there’s just something about the way they write that lets you get lost in it. I always finish their fics with a smile on my face and feeling fulfilled from another wonderful read!

I still need to finish reading the rest of their works but I cannot say enough about ‘collision’! this author’s attention to detail and dedication to accuracy and descriptions in their writing is just incredible! you can tell just how much time and effort went into it, and, in my opinion, it was so so worth it! I admire them so much :) it’s so refreshing when these kinds of tropes are well done and you can just get lost in the writing from the first word down to the last line!

another fandom favorite! I've been absolutely obsessed with ‘feeling it out’ since it was first published! they write a/b/o (and everything else!) so well that they make it look easy! the characterizations are so unique and I've never read anything like them before - I can’t get enough! I always look forward to their posts and already know it’ll be one of my new favorites!

I really admire this author because of the way they tend to go against the grain. they write the things they want and it’s obvious that they enjoy it, and I really admire their ability to do so! there are tons of options here as well! (check the tags before reading!)

their first fic still has me absolutely floored - it’s definitely one of my all time favorites! their writing is usually between 10k - 20k but it’s amazing the amount of detail and plot they can articulate in that length. if you’re looking for a simple, cute, lovely read, you’ve chosen the right author! :)

I'm not sure if they want me to tag their main account so I'll just tag the one above :) this author definitely has a way with words! I only found their work recently and it hasn’t disappointed throughout the many rereads in the time since. they write tension and emotion beautifully and their characterization is lovely! I'm looking forward to anything else they might publish!

pretty sure I've already talked about this author several times but I couldn’t leave them off! their fics are written so beautifully and realistically that you cannot put it down until it’s over. the first time I found them I fell down a rabbit hole and read all of their works within the week! I reread their fics on a monthly basis and I have absolutely no regrets.

I so much admire the variety in these fics, as well as the time and dedication this author has put forth for readers. it’s obvious how much they love writing! everything from the meet-cute’s to the smut is exceptionally well written and immersive. their work has been and will always be very close to my heart , so if you check them out please leave them some love! :) (also please make sure to check the tags before you read!)

I'm sure this author is also no stranger! they truly have a gift for writing such aesthetically pleasing and wonderfully worded fics, stock full with dreamy settings and descriptions. their writing is just on a whole different kind of genre and I don’t think I'll ever get tired of reading and rereading their works!

reading this author’s fics is almost like you’re being allowed into a private moment between the characters. sometimes I even hold my breath when I'm reading so I don’t disturb the moment! this writing is soft and lovely and every single scene is thick with emotion in the best way. the chemistry between their characters is insane!

I have yet to read this author’s second work but I have no doubt it will be just as absolutely amazing as the first one was! I am amazed at their ability to twist such a classic storyline and completely make it feel like their own, and to do so effortlessly. I adore their attention to detail and originality in their fics and I can’t wait until I have some time to dig into their latest one! (and it helps that they’re just a very lovely person!)

reading this author’s work is like getting immersed in another world. I have yet to find another author that can so beautifully write this melancholic and yet morally satisfying type of aura through their words. this is another person that writes dialogue and emotion very tactfully, and it really resonates when reading.

oh boy I'm already sweating! I really really enjoy the way that this author describes and I hope they come back at some point! all of their storylines are so unique and very refreshing. not to mention how they have a way of writing smut that literally has me so hooked into the story that I forget to breathe sometimes! truly a fantastic writer!

one of my all time favorite authors!!! I've been reading their works for years now and I still can’t get enough. it’s soft and lovely and warm and just very very comforting in general. they have a way of making their fics seem like an entire little world no matter how short or long they are. they haven’t written in a bit but I'll continue dutifully waiting on a notification!

this author is kind of like the b!L version of mercutionotromeo, at least in my opinion. their last fic was published in 2016 but I've reread their work so many times since then in hopes they'll come back at some point! this person does a wonderful job with angst & hurt/comfort and when I'm in the mood for those tropes these fics are definitely some of my first contenders! (make sure to check the tags! some of the hurt/comfort aspects may be triggering for some readers). lots of emotion and very soft, loving fics!

please let me know if you need any more! happy reading and I hope you find some more lovely authors to choose from! :)
