Fanfic Recommendation For Someone Who Never Read A Fanfic?

fanfic recommendation for someone who never read a fanfic?

Hi! Ok that’s a cool challenge. Please keep in mind that I’m leaving a lot of great fics out, some because it’s humanly impossible to remember everything and others because I refuse to make a list the size of the bible. Anyway, I hope you like my suggestions ^-^

If you don’t mind a bit of sexy times:

more women than warriors (modern au) by steklir is possibly my favourite fic of all time

in love and war and politics (modern au) by centuriesofexistence is hands down one of the best Clexa fics there is

what heart’s ease must queens neglect (modern royalty au) by thrace is just absolutely brilliant

blood rush in he hazy glow (modern au) by firetestsgold will always be a favourite of mine

oh you’ll find me between (the devil and the deep blue sea) (pirates au) by orangeyouglad8 is an awesome story with pirates and treasure hunts and mysteries ahoy

broken wands (fwb au) by smallamountsofmonster is one of my favourite HP au’s ever

she got me up all night (all i’m singing’ is love songs) (modern au) by mostlyunstablefangirl is my go-to happy one-shot

fight me series (modern au + canonverse) by fairytaleslayer is a beautiful second-person series of fics, two au and one canon

a pleasant undoing by mopeytropey (modern au) is one of those fics that I love, when the characters are roughly my age and I relate (and it’s simply amazing)

touch or carry (modern au) by paintthebrain has Clexa as beach volleyball players - need I say anything else?

suburbia (modern au) by raspberrytree has confident, sure of herself Lexa and it’s both sexy and fun

what is this feeling? (HP au) by aiscrimson is a soulmates au in the HP universe

“i found love” series (modern au) by crumbleduppieceofpaper wrecked me when I read the first one and is now patching me back up

black magic (magic au) by paintthebrain is awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome - awesooooome

two’s company series (modern au) by careyelizabeth is a wonderful ballet au

mystic coffee (magic au) by blindwire is magic, coffee shops, magic tattoos, tiny pet dragons, cool Clarke, and Lexa is glasses all wrapped into one

lifetimes (royalty au) by 8hedaofhearts8 is one of the most underrated fics there are - I love it to bits and pieces, it’s easily a top-5 of mine

if you don’t mind a lot of sexy times:

open windows, open hearts (modern au) by Sheisme is one of the hottest clexa fics out there

loving you in the light & dark series (modern au) by Tanagariel is one of the first I ever read

bare my soul (modern au) by Tanagariel was one of the first to explore the theme and it’s great

you’re fired (so yeah you win) (modern au) by LaFlashdrive was THE smutty fic in its time

this is heaven in hiding (modern au) by orangeyouglad is sexy, ridiculously well written, and fun

the whore’s queen (royal and medieval au) by w0rldofmy0wn is my current obsession

bought, owned, earned series (modern au) by sassymajesty is hot as hell and hits you hard on the feels

fearless. (modern au) by lordvoldyfarts is possibly the best road trip au ever

if you prefer your fics smut-free:

six (mythology au) by LingeringLillies is a beautiful, beautiful take on the Hades/Persephone story

habromanic (modern au) by alittlesoulcarryingacorpse is a sweet and witty one-shot

greencard (modern au) by coeurdastronaute (x and x) is heartbreaking but bloody fucking beautiful

the lay of looking-glass land series (canonverse) by KL_Morgan is a fantastic take on azgeda!clarke, it’s honestly so so great

falcon (modern au) by anonbeme is the age gap fic you’ve all been looking for

light a thousand fires under me. (modern au) by sovereignchicken is a beautiful high school au that deals with peer expectations

hooked on a feeling (HP au) by onebigroughdraft is my favourite bundle of joy

love remember me (sweetly and tenderly) by betteronpaper is, like this friend of mine’s other fics, ridiculously well written and beautifully bittersweet

special category: comedy

the 300 (modern au) by bucklethorpe is pure hilarity and beautiful fluff

the business of caring (modern au) by coldmackerel is simply hilarious

it’s called contraband for a reason (prison au) by coldmackerel can’t be described

I apologise once again to everyone whose fics I forgot to include or decided not to - I do love them.
