properly improper by @lizardcookie

“Marry me,” Mr. Potter repeats, closing the distance between them by striding back up towards the sofa, only to stop and crouch to one knee right there at her feet, looking up at her. Burning. “Pick me,” he elaborates. “Pick me, choose me, love me instead.”

- this fic is the reason why I comment the way that I do (spoiler it's because it's amazing)

The Wedding Ring by @mppmaraudergirl

What is undeniably worse than attending your sister's wedding looking as desolate and forgotten as a wilted houseplant? Drunkenly ringing your ex-boyfriend and asking him to be your date.

- SOBS UNCONTROLLABLY AT THE PERFECTION

Oh my god, they were ROOMMATES by @magic-girl-in-a-muggle-world

Silly one-shot, Muggle AU with Fem!Jily as pining roommates and Marlene as their matchmaker.

- the fic that brought me back to jily and inspired my deep obsession of fem!jily

Swipe Right, Swing Left by @downn-in-flames

The unspoken rule of using dating apps in D.C. is that you always start with where you work.

James Potter, it seems, never picked up on that one.

- giddy just thinking about this gem

'Tis the Damn Season by @petalstofish

It doesn't feel like Christmas for Lily Evans, not after losing her parents to COVID before the Holiday season. She anticipates spending Christmas all alone until a boy from her past shows up and offers her a mutually benefiting deal that has her calling him 'babe' just for the weekend. 'Tis the damn season, after all.

- cries in respect for lyrical writing

Watch Me Unwind by @maraudersftw

Lily Evans hates her job, hates the bigoted customers she has to serve as a bartender at the richest club in the city. But the one person who makes bearing all of it worth it has someone else in his arms tonight. (Rated: M)

- obsessed with the way the plot jumps around the time line in this

oil be there for you by @abby10fanfic

Texting/Social Media AU: Lily and James haven't spoken for 2 years. But that's all about to change thanks to Peter and his involvement in an essential oil pyramid scheme. Featuring boss babes, toxin-free lifestyles, binding contracts, and a very oily journey.

- YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE HOW FAB THIS IS

a matchmaking mission by @downn-in-flames

James Potter has a mission: get Sirius Black and Remus Lupin to finally admit that they both fancy the pants off each other by Valentine's Day.

His partner in crime? Lily Evans, Remus' flatmate, who he also happens to be slightly in love with

- DOUBLE the amount of pining idiots in love :")

about time by @jilyss

'sure, yeah, I can accompany you to that black tie event for your work tonight. wait. why are we on a red carpet?'

- this is my emotional comfort fic, your honor

whiskey business by @elanev91

Sirius Black has a (bad?) habit of picking up hobbies that take over his and James' flat -- this most recent one? Homemade vodka that James now has to try and peddle to everyone in the building.

- hysterical! must read!

Fashion Disaster by @maraudersftw

James Potter is roped into an awful dare by his best-mate, which involves him wearing atrocious pieces of clothing for all days until Christmas as dictated by Sirius. If this wasn't terrible enough, he now has to contend with his maddening crush on the beautiful saleswoman at the clothing store.

- classic hijinks that I live for

it wasn't a pity invite by @elanev91

Part of the December "Winter Tropes" Jily challenge. Prompt: my family invites you to join our holiday meal as an obvious setup and omG i’m so sorry

- awkward Christmas date that owns my heart

spice and honey by @clare-with-no-i

tagging along with her food reporter sister to profile James Potter, London's hottest young chef, is not how Lily Evans pictured her Monday going - especially if he's anything like Petunia’s described.

needless to say, she's in for a whirlwind at Chez Maraudeur.

- I'm one re-read away from printing this out and putting it on my bookshelf.

Waffle Wars by @elanev91

There's only one waffle maker in the dining hall and it literally always breaks. So, naturally, the only reasonable course of action is to meticulously map out when it's working and, ultimately, do a heist.

- the witty narration in this fic can not be matched

You Can Hear It In The Silence by @alrightginger

Lily is non-verbal and deaf in a world where the things your soulmate says about you end up written on your skin. She has known about her soulmate since she was seven, but knows they don't have a clue she exists and possibly never will.

- exquisite, cue me sobbing forever

out the window by @displayheartcode

A new family moves to Ottery St Catchpole.

- everything I could ever want in a fic, forever in my mind rent free

An Evans Family Christmas: Petunia is bringing her fiancé and Lily is bringing her…Friend…

- petunia pov that gives me WINGS

Football, Calculus, and Cappuccinos by @moonawrites

At eighteen years old, James Potter has a lot going on. He's a rising star navigating the politics of professional football, the pitfalls of sudden fame, the fallout from choosing his dream over his father's company... and a serious crush on the red headed new barista at his favourite coffee shop.

- I'm still working my way through this fic, but trust me when I say its a GEM

if u like pina coladas by @zephyrcove

Lily is desperate for a date to Petunia's wedding, James has been pining, and their friends meddle ;)

- explain to me how characters can be so perfect via texting fics?

Shelf Awareness by @ghostofbambifanfiction

It's too far out of her way and she's wasting so much money, but Lily can't help but return to the bookstore every weekend, where her passion for good literature has, perhaps, been unexpectedly reignited by the messy-haired, pun-making, rather handsome bloke who works there.

- you absolutely must know that I binge read this and then immediately REREAD it

How to win a witch in 10 days by @adenei

“She’s going to find some unsuspecting wizard, get him to fall for her, and then do all the things that turn men away to get him to break things off! Won’t it be the best way to see what witches do that drives men crazy?” But what happens when the man in question is a blast from Lily Evans's past? A Jily Magical AU based on the romantic comedy "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days."

- fic based off of a rom com? YES PLZ :’)

The Fight Before Christmas by @ghostofbambifanfiction

The heartwarming Christmas tale of Lily Evans and James Potter - two plucky kids who hated one other, until the day they really, really didn't.

- complete sucker for this one

All This Time by @thejilyship

James and Lily grew up next door to one another. Their bedroom windows giving them glimpses into the others life, and also offering prime opportunities to argue with each other over every little thing. They never figured out how to be friends when they were kids, but now that they've graduated from college and are home for the summer, they have a second chance to get things right.

- one of my favvvv tropes

Let Me Love You by @thejilyship

With only a month until she's set to take the throne of Gryffindor, Lily is informed that she'll have to get married or choose to give up her throne. She never thought she'd have to even entertain the idea of an arranged marriage. Enter, James Potter.

- cries in princess diares AU

The Fabulous Baker Brothers by @frustratedpoetwrites

Lily walks a different route home from work and stumbles upon a cute little Bakery with an even cuter baker in the window.

- yes yes yes to embarrassed pining.

Marigold Mornings by @mppmaraudergirl

This is a fun game she thinks, as she removes her hand from his side and reaches up to run it down his chest.  He catches her hand in his own, takes a step forward so that her nose nearly brushes against his shirt. She can feel the heat radiating off of him—or maybe it’s from her. He licks his lips and her eyes are drawn to the motion.  She knows it is a bad idea, absolutely knows it.

- incredible storytelling featuring dynamic characters :') a favvv

Welcome to Pettyville by@women-inthe-sequel @alrightginger

When Lily Evans accidentally sends a text to the wrong number, she isn’t expecting to find the right person behind it. She can’t stop talking to Prongs. The only thing is, Prongs can’t stop talking about the girl in his class. What could go wrong, other than the number?

- LOVE SQUARE ANYONE

The Kiss a Stranger Project by @alrightginger

“What’s your name, then?” she asks, realizing they haven’t even properly introduced themselves yet. She nervously crosses her arms.

You shouldn’t kiss a guy without knowing his name first.

Right?

- THIS ONE WILL LIVE IN MY MIND FOREVER

Marathon, Portrait & Beats

Marathon: Rec a favourite epic fic (more than 50K) you read this year 

heart rise above by @onceuponamirror: “It wasn’t an experiment with freedom borne of some Americana fantasy; rather, a road trip of purely logistical intentions. The plan was simple. Drive from Boston to Chicago for his sister’s college graduation. That’s it.” 

you were a kindness by @fxyeahriverdale (saltwaterkid95): “After his father has been arrested for stealing from the Serpents and Hiram Lodge, Jughead Jones is forced to pay off his father’s debt by being a get away driver for the Serpents. Their next target is the Blossom mansion. Jughead is forced to transfer to Riverdale High undercover. His mission is to fit in as a normal Northside student while gathering information to help the Serpents with their next crime, but Jughead runs into a few distractions during his mission.” 

bughead by wordgirl80: “This started out as one-shots to go in between the episodes of season 1, but evolved into my own version of season 2.” 

Portrait: Rec a fic you loved this year with killer characterisation 

a study in contrasts by arlathahn: “Betty Cooper can divide her life into two distinct parts: there’s before Archie, and there’s after Archie. And buried somewhere in between, there’s Jughead Jones.” 

clouds of white by IndianSummer13: “Everything’s piling up and to top it off, Betty just can’t seem to get the right consistency for her frosting. Enter Jughead.” 

a matter of the heart by Yavannie: “When Ethel has an unrequited crush on Jughead, he asks Betty for help.” 

skate key & ethel muggs and the infinite gherkin by @mistressofmalplaquet: “Out of the blue, Betty starts kissing Jughead goodbye.” 

oil can grin by DefaltManifesto: “In that way, she and Jughead are a lot alike. He wears his defense on his sleeve. Hers lurks, capable of camouflage to survive with an emotionally wise but abusive mother. FP was no saint, but he was like a bludgeon where Alice was a knife gliding between the ribs so smoothly it didn’t even hurt.” 

choices, sartorial & otherwise by @wagamiller: “The girl he loves actually recoils from him, one hand raised in front of her to stay his approach, and the jacket that fit him like a glove just a moment ago is suddenly too heavy, too tight, too much.” 

it’s no surprise by @aswellingstorm: “When Gladys and Jellybean come to visit for the fourth of July while FP is still in jail, the day turns out to be more explosive than everyone had hoped.” 

Beats: Rec a favourite fanvid you saw this year 

…you know, up until I was asked this question I didn’t have any Bughead fanvids to recommend. So I had to scour the internet for something good. One of the many reasons why it took me this long to reply to these asks. 

.

disclaimer: I haven’t read Riverdale fanfiction since end of October, so I’m not including the new fanfics that came out. Sorry ‘bout that.

Warrior’s Fic Recs

I’ve wanted to create a list of fic recs for a while now! I have these bookmarked on AO3, but there’s not really a system like that for Tumblr. So, here we are! I did “Draw the Squad” doodles for each of these, and they have nothing to do with the fics themselves, but they were super fun to make!

Marvel:

“To Walk Together” by @shootingstarsojourner

Original “Draw the Squad” template by @mugges

“To Walk Together” is a Captain America/Reader fic that’s paired with my own series, “Of Different Emotions”! Expect a lot of fluff! Star is the queen of fluff. She’s really nice! Go talk to her!

Series Summary:

“You are a sojourner of the stars. You go from galaxy to galaxy, realm to realm, discovering the wonders of worlds everywhere.

In a life so big and full, how can one be so lonely? You’ve been running away from your feelings of hurt and loss after your recent relationship breakup. You welcome distraction.

But trouble has a thing for finding you, and suddenly you find yourself falling to Earth, where a certain, lonely Captain from Brooklyn finds you and gives you refuge in New York.

Steve Rogers is a man out of place and time and has been dealing with post-traumatic stress in his new modern-day setting. No friends, no motive, he’s just trying to get through the days. Now you’ve fallen right into his lap.

Neither of you expect the blossoming bonds stemming from meeting one another. Are you willing to walk together to mend from the wounds of loss, or will you runaway again?”

---

“Power and Magic” by @sidrisa

Original “Draw the Squad” template by @mamafrankee

“Power and Magic” is a Loki/Reader fic that I cannot scream about enough. It motivated me to get back into fanfiction and inspired my first fic on AO3. I have immense respect for this author.

Series Summary:

“The princes come with their exalted Father arriving amidst a hail of pomp and pageantry all parties would rather forgo.

This is war, where men die, their blood purchasing land and peace until it’s time for more men and more blood.

But your mother adheres to the old rules of hearth and hospitality. The Lords of Asgard must be given their due despite the grim business precipitating their arrival.

It is too bad they don’t deserve it.

There is nothing to recommend him, Loki, Prince of Asgard. He is rude and cold and childish. You try to find some merit in him.

You find none.

Exactly none.

But maybe, after trial and tribulation,

You will.”

---

“The Tower” by @littlemisssyreid

Original “Draw the Squad” template found at @submit-your-oc

“The Tower” is a Loki/Reader fic that I’m having a blast reading. The author is a wonderful person, and the story itself is an excellent mish-mash of fairy tales and takes place on Asgard. Give it a read!

Series Summary:

“After attempting to rule another realm, nobody in the courts of Asgard was opposed to Loki’s conviction. However, years later, in a turn of events that nobody is privy to, Odin wonders whether his youngest son was sentenced too harshly. Unbeknownst to anyone, Loki is moved to a new type of cell, with new terms of imprisonment too, in the hopes he will have a chance for redemption. However, as days become months and months become years, the world moves on without him in it. Will Loki really benefit as intended or has he simply been condemned to a new type of torture? The arrival of a stranger puts everything to the test…

Despite being overlooked in your hometown on a daily basis, your spirit is not easily broken - not, until one day when an incident on the road out of town leaves you broken and bruised. With nowhere else to turn, you find yourself at the doorstep of a man with no interest in saving anyone but himself…”

---

“Liars in the Dark” by @padawantimelord

Original “Draw the Squad” template by @snuffysbox

“Liars in the Dark” is a Loki/Reader fic that I thoroughly enjoyed reading! The angst is strong with this one, you guys. Great Reader character and awesome writing style!

Series Summary:

“You don't like thinking about the accident. The one that spiraled you out of control, that shattered your normal high school life and turned you into a hermit working at your grandparent's farm. You don't talk about your problems. You pretend not to see what others can't see. And your grandfather doesn't say anything about the watery whiskey you've been diluting to hide how much you drink because the pills don't work.

You're pretty fucked up. And though, during your most desperate and sober moments, you think about how much you would love to go to college and learn science and astronomy more than anything. But then you notice the rippling fabric of time, or the gentle brushing of something outside your reality and you're back in the liquor cabinet sneaking booze from the bottle.Then an angel falls from the sky and changes everything. You patch his never healing wounds on his flesh, and he tries to touch the ever churning storm within you. Loki shows you how much better you can be, and in the process, how much better he can be as well.”

---

“Hubris” by @seekerofvalhalla

Original “Draw the Squad” template by @croxovergoddess

“Hubris” is a Loki/Reader fic that I was so excited to find! It takes some inspiration from Mulan and has a lot of action and violence. Had me hooked from the first chapter!

Series Summary:

“Asgardian men and women normally fought battles side by side, so when the Allfather strips away your opportunity to seek your revenge, you disguise yourself as a man. Your pride prevents you from quitting, but how long can you keep your walls built up before someone sees through the cracks?”

---

Miraculous:

“Once a Thief Always a Thief” by @saijspellhart

Original “Draw the Squad” template by @looneyfrechie

“Once a Thief Always a Thief” is a Chat Noir/Marinette Dupain-Cheng fic that was suggested to me by @shootingstarsojourner​! It was my introduction into the “Miraculous” fandom, and is the first non Reader-insert fic on this list! A totally awesome read with amazing art from the author!

Series Summary:

“Things were starting to look up for Marinette as museum curator. She had a prestigious new exhibit to run, and an ace team to help coordinate it. That is until she crosses paths with the internationally infamous cat burglar, aptly named Chat Noir. She wants to hate him, but this suave and charming thief has his eyes set on more than just her exhibit's priceless Bastet artifact.”

---

I’ll be updating this with any other great fics I find, as well as some more dumb doodles to go with them.

Stay awesome!

[blueandgoldoffice]

Heya, I'm looking for something to read that really makes you really feel, but is also light hearted and a bit funny. I don't know if you know of anything like that I feel like it's kind of niche but if so I would love if you could rec me something!!! You guys are the best

Heya! This is kind of a subjective ask, so I’ve been fretting over it for a bit. Finally, I chose a handful of fics that both make me laugh, and make a stupid, goofy, smile start bubbling up in my chest only to be noticed on my face at the end of the fic when my husband asks “Are you looking at our wedding pictures again?” Hope that works for you!

Camp Sweetwater by @wordsonpages

Rating: Mature     Chapters:1/1

Summary:  Betty Cooper didn’t want to spend her summer at Camp Sweetwater as a counselor but of course her mother didn’t give her a say in the matter. But then she meets Jughead Jones her co-counselor with gorgeous eyes and lean muscles and that damn smirk… okay so maybe this summer wouldn’t be so bad after all.

—

In The Market For by @justcourbeau

Rating: Teen and Up  Chapters: 1/1

Summary: A few things happened, all at once and in no particular order. Jughead finished rolling the other back seat window down for some air circulation. Archie took a corner tightly. A large container truck glided past them in the opposite direction as Archie corrected himself with a jerk. A gust of air was forced through all the open windows, and Jughead’s fingers were a fraction of a second too late. His beanie was gone, out the window, and Jughead turned to watch it disappear around a corner, his face frozen in horror. [an instagram au involving road trips, and of course, Betty saves the day.]

Tenth Frame by @mistressofmalplaquet

Where They May by @stillscape

Rating: General   Chapters: 1/1

Summary: Raptorlily prompted: “Betty helps Jughead deal with Ethel’s crush on him. Pre-relationship preferably, because I’m a sucker for it, but entirely up to you!” My advance apologies to Ethel Muggs, who is a canonically lovely person.
