NOTES:
*I'm pretty bad at leaving reviews, mostly because I read on my Ipod and I really don't like writing on that thing. But if you wrote any of the stories above, consider this my congratulations on your work and a very big thank you for sharing it.
*Chaptered fics will be the only ones where I'll add a "completed" or "WIP", warning. If it doesn't say anything, then it's a one shot.
*Fics are from both, fanfiction.net and Livejournal. Ocassional fics from ArchiveofOurOwn and Dreamwidth, if I somehow stumble upon them, but I don't usually "go" to those places to look for fics.
*If you have a rec for me that isn't here, please let me know, I'm always on the look for new fics to read. I have a lits of my fandoms & pairings here.
*I'm a big fan of NC-17 rated fics, (regret nothing!) so don't be surprised if a lot of these get that rating.
*If a fic is chaptered, the main link will lead you to the first one (in the case of fanfiction.net), to the last one in Livejournal (if the author links to previous chapters) or to the tag of the series (if the author has one). If none of these applies, I'll just have to get creative.
*I warn of ratings not triggers, that's why I advice you to read the authors' note to make sure you are okay.
*I'm excited about this now, and as much as I want to promise to keep it updated, I can't. But I can promise to try, is that enough?

NOTES:
*I'm pretty bad at leaving reviews, mostly because I read on my Ipod and I really don't like writing on that thing. But if you wrote any of the stories above, consider this my congratulations on your work and a very big thank you for sharing it.
*Chaptered fics will be the only ones where I'll add a "completed" or "WIP", warning. If it doesn't say anything, then it's a one shot.
*Fics are from both, fanfiction.net and Livejournal. Ocassional fics from ArchiveofOurOwn and Dreamwidth, if I somehow stumble upon them, but I don't usually "go" to those places to look for fics.
*If you have a rec for me that isn't here, please let me know, I'm always on the look for new fics to read. I have a lits of my fandoms & pairings here.
*I'm a big fan of NC-17 rated fics, (regret nothing!) so don't be surprised if a lot of these get that rating.
*If a fic is chaptered, the main link will lead you to the first one (in the case of fanfiction.net), to the last one in Livejournal (if the author links to previous chapters) or to the tag of the series (if the author has one). If none of these applies, I'll just have to get creative.
*I warn of ratings not triggers, that's why I advice you to read the authors' note to make sure you are okay.
*I'm excited about this now, and as much as I want to promise to keep it updated, I can't. But I can promise to try, is that enough?
