There are absolutely loads of fics I've read, re-read and read again because they're that good. So I thought i'd have a go at posting some of these fics here, because I know first hand how hard it is to scour the deepest reaches of the net searching for a fic you haven't read yet.

It'll probably take a long time for me to go back and find all the fics I've read so far (I've been reading fanfiction since I was about 15... i'm now 22), but I'm hoping i'll build up a good database of fics while i'm at it.

They'll be sorted by Fandom, and i'll make a new post for each, so it'll be easier to use. =3

I'll keep updating this post with links to the different fandoms. ...So work in progress, I guess. =P


If you can suggest any fics to add to this list, then please comment and tell me! I really want to know! Comment on the page of the fandom you're recommending. =P Thanks!

My fic recs for xxxHolic : If you've got any you'd like to add, please let me know by commenting. =3


Not a Dangerous Mission by Orochimaru Han. Rating: T. Oneshot

Pairing: Watanuki/Doumeki
Yuko sends Watanuki on a mission that, while not at all dangerous, spirals out of his control.

There are a lot of similar fics to this, but this one sticks out as being one of the better ones. ^_^


Claustrophobia by Orochimaru Han. Rating: M. Oneshot

Pairing: Watanuki/Doumeki
Doumeki and Watanuki are on a simple mission from Yuuko, stay put from before sunset until after sunrise to be able to retrieve the item she wants, but it's the middle of summer and their hiding place is cramped..

What can I say? Doumeki, Watanuki, a very small enclosed space... always makes for a good fic. The characters are spot on in this writers fics. =3 The tension between the two is really cool as well, as is the decidedly dodgy last line, lol.

Here's the fic recs for Final Fantasy IX. =3

If there's anything you'd recommend adding to this list, then let me know by commenting! ^_^


Be The Reaper by CrimsonCobwebs. Rating: T. 11 Chapters - Incomplete

Pairing: Zidane/Dagger
Zidane has returned and everyone's ecstatic. Everyone. Both living... and dead... Would you take up an offer to become a god? Could you ward off insanity when there's voices battling in your head?

I don't think this is finished, and I really wish it was, but I absolutely love CrimsonCobwebs' fics. This one addresses that issue that a lot of fics seem to side-step; that Zidane is NOT human, and he was actually pretty close to becoming an Angel of Death, which, in effect, would probably be along the lines of super-evil-villan type. It's one of the things I find fascinating about Zidane; the fact that he has all this power and he doesn't show it a lot.



Fur Beneath her Fingertips by CrimsonCobwebs. Rating: T. 3 Chapters - Finished?

Pairing: Zidane/Dagger
Garnet's thoughts on Zidane's tail. Fluff - no pun intended ha ha. Lime.


And another one of CrimsonCobwebs' fics with another one of my favourite themes about FFIX - Zidane's tail! Why aren't there more fics about Zidane's tail?! It's something else that fascinates me about him, lol. I'd put all of CrimsonCobwebs' FFIX fics on here, but i'd be here all night. I fully recommend going to her FF.net profile and reading them all.



Brick By Brick by CrimsonCobwebs. Rating: T. 23 Chapters - Complete

Pairing: Zidane/Dagger
A princess, a thief, and a look into the building of a tumultuous relationship. Be warned: limes and swearing.


Okay, okay, last CrimsonCobwebs rec. But this is the type of fic I love - one that builds a relationship up slowly and believably, with lots of thought and emotion. Not every pairing dives straight into the good stuff, and I like there to be a bit of build up.


Practical Medicine by Myushu. Rating: M. 14 Chapters - Complete

Pairing: Zidane/Freya
Zidane, Freya, and how to learn nothing the hard way. Warning: swearing and sexual content.


Usually i'm pretty faithful to my OTPs, but now and again up comes a fic that's written in such a witty way, it's enjoyable to read regardless of how awkward I usually find that pairing. This fic made me think a little more about Zidane and Freya's relationship, which is a good thing, in my opinion. =P

My fic recs for Final Fantasy VII. There are absolutely loads of these that i'd recommend. It'll take a while for me to compile them all though, so bear with me. =3

If there's anything you'd recommend adding to this list, then let me know by commenting! ^_^

Word of the Day by Kainos Ktisis. Rating: K+. 20 chapters - Incomplete

Pairing: Cloud/Tifa
Because i'm an English nerd. An eclectic collection of oneshots inspired by Dictionary-dot-com's Word of the Day.

Usually I try to steer clear of incomplete fics (I get so mad when they don't update for years), but this is more of a compilation of one-shots, which works really well. This person is obviously a very intelligent writer. =3


More Then Words by Sekihara Tae. Rating: MA. Oneshot

Pairing: Cloud/Tifa
Prompt for ... , who variously requested (1) Night under the highwind; (2) First time for both Cloud and Tifa; and (3) Use of the phrase: "Death was likely only a sunrise away, but Cloud touched her as though they had all the time in the world."

Tae is the QUEEN of Final Fantasy VII Cloti Smut, in my opinion, and pretty much everything she writes is gold. This is no different and although it's a 'Night under the Highwind' fic (which, however many I read, I still love), her writing makes it unique. Awesome, awesome stuff. ♥

Here are my fic recs for Legal / Lawful / Gohou Drug. ^_^

If there are any fics you'd recommend putting in this list, then please comment and tell me!

Other Bed by Kagome reincarnation. - Rating: T. Oneshot

Pairing: Kazahaya/Rikuo
When a guy wakes up in another guy's bed, his first reaction is to wake the other guy up. But when the other guy won't wake up and pins him on top of that... Well, what's a guy to do?

This is really cute - it's one of those fics where Kazahaya's innocence comes through in a really nice, non-obstructive way, with a little hint of nice!Rikuo.


Third Tuesday by Crystal Delphina. Rating: T. 3 Chapters - Complete

Pairing: Kazahaya/Rikuo
If he wasn't forced every third Tuesday to stock a particular item in the store, perhaps Kazahaya's life would be slightly more tolerable: Saiga wouldn't tease him as badly and maybe Rikuo would stop acting strangely. The day just needs to end.

Really well written and witty. Full of tension. Kazahaya is just adorable in this. =]


Second Sunday by Crystal Delphina. Rating: M. 4 Chapters - Complete

Pairing: Kazahaya/Rikuo
A 12 hour work day of inventory is dismal at best. Good thing the faithful employees are playing a game with each other to spice up the boring Sunday. War tactics and flirting go hand in hand, along with some good natured betting. Sequel to Third Tuesday.

Just as good as 'Third Tuesday'.


Corrected Bone by Kagome reincarnation. Rating: K+. Oneshot

Pairing: Kazahaya/Rikuo
Kazahaya accidentally gets in between Rikuo's 'break' ability and the object to be broken. The result? A broken arm.

Very cute, chaste little fic.


Don't Say a Word by PsychicDreams. Rating: M. 16 Chapters - Finished

Pairing: Kazahaya/Rikuo
When the parents are away, the children will play. Unfortunately, sometimes that play becomes something terrible and leaves behind indelible scars.

Really brilliantly written - Doesn't progress too quickly, or too slowly, and the characters are pretty much spot on. There's so much build up to important parts of the story which makes them well worth the anticipation, but not so much that you lose interest. Really good!


Untitled, since its just a bonus chapter by YN Ame. - Rating: NOT FOR KIDDIES! Mature content. Oneshot

Pairing: Kazahaya/Rikuo
Rikuou has just had a horrible day, Kazahaya tries to help. There's angst, smut (tastefully written I hope, but smut none the less), hints of a deeper plot, and it ties in with an old drabble of mine titled Sweet Distraction so please read that first, if you haven't already.

This works really well for some reason - it's just nice to see Kazahaya take the initiative and do something like this for Rikuo for once. And it's not just pointless smut either, it's actually heartfelt and meaningful. Really nice. =]
