For more in-depth, on-going discussion of individual pieces of fanfiction with your fellow posters, please head over to the Discussion of Fics We're Currently Loving thread. Thanks! :reading1:


I miss this thread so here we go.

Hit us with any good phanfic you have read recently.

I just read the most recent chapter of Those who trust (theshyauthor) and I'm just in awe.
Also always check out our very own alittledizzy (http://slightlydizzier.tumblr.com) because she is just the best

oh my god no. Not this one. that one just kills me. I genuinely tear up when I just think about it.
I remember when I first read it I was in shock for literally 2 days, having to reassure myself dan was alive and healthy and okay.

I'm not gonna list these out since it would overlap so much with what's already been posted here, but I keep a google doc of my favorite fics to rec. I updated it a couple times a week, generally, unless there's just a strange fic drought happening.

(I don't generally read WIP so the very few that have snared me in are listed toward the bottom. I also don't read unhappy ending/breakup fic or major character death so you should be safe on those fronts, but obviously heed the warnings on each individual fic since I didn't mark for any triggers.)

Fic rec doc!

Ooh, that looks great. Looking forward to reading, thanks.

Is this also a place to ask for recs? I have a thing for time skips/false memories/angsty love triangles, so if anyone has recs in those areas, hmu

It's midnight, I have to get up at 6 tomorrow but I'm going to read it right now because who needs to feel happy before going to bed. Wish me luck! :lol:

So, this is a phanfic rec but kinda different. In one of my twitter accounts, as a joke, I started a phanfic rec thread trying to describe them with The Smiths song titles.
Ridiculous idea, but here we are, they're all very good, thought u guys might appreciate my hard (not really) work on this.

!!! Aw, thank you for the rec! I love your stuff, this means so much (I'm kay_okay on AO3)

I'm a sucker for them too. My domestic recs:

unrelated conversations of a domestic nature by dizzy
that liquid guilt (on my lips) by snsk
temptations by ramonaspeaks
smooth by thatsmistertoyou
got me nostalgic by basicallymonsters
you look so beautiful in this light by internetakeover

(Also +1'ing on Atmosphere, little by little and those manchester days, those are some of my absolute favorites.)

Yes- the dialogue was so funny at times- and the fic was also pretty introspective-
If u haven't checked out the other works by that author, I totally recommend you do

Thank you, I'm reading the first one of the series and I already feel better. I genuinely don't know why I decided to read a sad one to start out with, bad descision on my part

Also, a little off topic, but is there a reason that "Bear" is Phil's nickname for Dan? I've also seen it used in instagram edits, and im confused because I've never seen it mentioned in any video or anything
