Recommended Reading

So, here is the list of all the fanfics that everyone submitted on the other handless blog as recommended reading. I have NOT read them all, so if you read one and think it sucks, do not blame me.

My Recommendations

This is just the list of ones that I have read, remember, and know that I specially enjoy. It is not a slight on any other fics/authors here, and if you're seeing something that you consider brilliant on this list, but it's not on my list of recs, that's probably because I have not read it or do not remember it...

This list is incomplete; there are more recommendations to be added, probably in all categories, but I am taking a break and shall post this so that you all can peruse that which you have not read. Feel free to comment with further recommendations! (Although, bare in mind, I have your previous recommendations still, so if you are certain you have already posted them, there isn't any need to post them again)

UPDATED 3/21: still incomplete, but a longer list.

Love,
Jules
