Some are recs from others, some are ones I browsed through. Chances are, this is the only rec list I'll manage because that's how I tend to roll...

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Mirrim (Dragonriders of Pern), Lessa (Dragonriders of Pern), Menolly (Dragonriders of Pern), Manora (Dragonriders of Pern), T’gellan
Additional Tags: Drunkeness, mention of sexual harassment
Summary:
Mirrim has always been blunt about what she thinks about everyone else. But when her sharp tongue gets her exiled from the excitement of the discoveries at the plateau on the Southern Continent, she has far too much time to be blunt about what she thinks about herself.
I've found myself with a soft spot for Mirrim in the last couple of years; so it's lovely to see things that treat her a little more sympathetically than in the books.

Relationships: Dominic Alastair/Mary Challoner
Characters: Mary Challoner, Dominic Alastair
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Consent Issues, Forced Marriage, Pining

Three ways Mary Challoner could have married Dominic Alistair.
I am always a sucker for Devil's Cub fics, and the AUs seem to be particularly enjoyable. This one has three scenarios, and each one is successively better.

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Young Wizards - Diane Duane
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Nita Callahan/Kit Rodriguez
Characters: Nita Callahan, Kit Rodriguez, Rhiow (Cats of Grand Central), Urruah (Cats of Grand Central), Original Characters
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Relationship Problems
Summary:
Kit and Nita go to college separately and figure some things out together.
I'll be honest, I was terrified that this was an unlabelled 'breakup fic'. I was so scared, when I accidentally hit the 'end page' button and scrolled all the way down to the end, I just went and read the ending. (I haven't done that in years.) That said, it's spectacular and really beautifully balanced in emotion and action and how it all hangs together. A real work of art!

(next year it’ll be clear) this was only leading me to that
Fandom: 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
Characters: Katherine Stratford, Patrick Verona, Bianca Stratford
Pairings: Kat Stratford/Patrick Verona
Summary: “Who the hell is this? D’you know what fucking time it is?”
“Hi, Patrick. And yeah, sorry about the time. It’s just-I kinda need you to bail me out? Well. Me and like seven other girls.”
“...Kat? Kat Stratford?”
Or, five times Kat calls Patrick, and one time Patrick calls Kat. Post-movie.
I love the way their relationship unfolds through the years, how it pieces together and works itself out. And the way the author has Kat finally reflecting on her relationship with her sister is great.
