Recommended Fanfiction
So, this is a list of fanfiction I have read over the years that I like enough to favorite and recommend to others.
K-Pop fanfic recs are on a separate list (see link on the side).
I’m a bit of a romantic … okay, a major romantic. I adore pairings and romance fanfics. The vast majority of my list will consist of such. I have a soft spot for those angsty ones too. I love reading those tug-on-your-heartstrings, bawl-your-eyes-out stories that just make you want to hug someone/something. It’s strange, I know. :P
Moving on to ratings. As you will see, most of the ratings here are from G/K to PG-13/T. I usually do not read NC-17, M, or R rated fics simply because the vast majority of them involve sexual content and such content makes me uncomfortable. I have read a few, to be honest.
To make finding categories easier, click CTRL+F and search the category. :)
Categories include: Cartoons, Other, the Ace Attorney series, the Tales Of… series, The World Ends with You, How To Train Your Dragon, Fairy Tail, Naruto, and Pokemon.
Favorites will be denoted with a ♥ at the end of the summary.
