I was looking through my bookmarks recently and realized that, despite how extensive my
favorite stories list is on
Fanfiction.net, it wasn't anywhere near complete. Quite a few stories that I'm absolutely in love with aren't even on
Fanfiction.net, let alone my favorites list. So, I decided to compile my own list of favorite fics and post it here on LiveJournal.
This list will be an ongoing project, I'm almost positive. As I find more stories to fall in love with, this list will grow. Fandoms will be added, but fandoms will never be taken away. Once a story is on the list, it will stay on the list. This is by no means comprehensive of the fandoms listed; it's just stories that I've stumbled upon that have touched me in some ways. I would definitely recommend every story on this list whole-heartedly, but that's just my oh-so-humble opinion. ;)
I've included as much information as possible for each story. Please note: there are stories on this list that contain strictly adult material and have been listed as such. If this offends you, please don't click on the link. You have been warned.
Fandoms are listed in alphabetical order and the stories within each fandom are listed in alphabetical order underneath the appropriate cut tag.
Now, enough blabbing from me. Enjoy!
