Snowbaz fanfics RECLIST
I'm creating this reclist basically to put together all of my favs and easily find them later to re-read whenever I want to. Also, so I can share all of them with who's in search of a good story to read. I'll keep adding things here as time goes on!
I really do love all of them (so much), but the ones marked with a (♥) are my personal favs. And I'll just put them in order of word count.
(♥-♥) rebel rebel by BasicBathsheba
Baz Pitch loves, in no particular order: David Bowie, punk music, the feel of old vinyl, the smell of coffee (but not the taste), classic books, magic, David Byrne, the fact that he was raised by his aunt Fiona, and maybe, sometimes, Simon Snow. (15 chapters / 183k / rated T)
(♥) Game / Set / Match by NineMagicks
It's the beginning of the end for former up-and-coming tennis sensation, Simon Snow.

Now, these two once-bright stars are on collision course to meet at the tennis calendar's most prestigious event, the Watford Open. (20 chapters / 121k / rated T)
(♥) Holding Out For A Hero by sconelover
Simon Snow is just like everyone else. He has a job managing a bakery and dirty mugs piling up in his room.

(♥-♥) So This is Christmas by KrisRix

Love Is Always in Style by rainbowbaz
When Simon gets offered a job at the glamorous, high-fashion Natasha Magazine, he can hardly believe his luck. But being assistant to the complicated, rude, and quite frankly beautiful Editor-in-Chief Basilton Pitch makes his job a lot more difficult than he expected. (10 chapters / 39k / rated T)

All this soulmate shit by half_witch
Simon has learned to despise his 'evil anti-friendmate' Baz despite being connected to him through magic their entire lives.

Hang the Moon by aralias (added: march 2022)

(♥) Afterhours by annabellelux

[Podfic] Mine right now by f-ing-ruthless-baz, read by BazzyBelle
Sometimes I think I might not even have a soulmate. If I do, I'd feel sorry for the poor bastard, at any rate. Stuck with me. Really, I'm sparing him a lifetime of misery with me by not seeking him out. He should send me a fucking thank you card. Baz wants a distraction. Simon wants a choice. But what does want matter when it comes to fate? (6 chapters / 3-3.5 hours / rated M)
