I Must Share My Favorite Stories
I have to admit, I haven’t been at the top of my game lately. This summer was filled with high levels of anxiety, but I finally managed to sever ties with a toxic friend who was the source of many of my panic attacks. Now that I’ve cleared my head, I want to recommend some of my favorite writers and stories to you.
To ease the pressure on myself, I’ll only be sharing one story per writer, the story that truly speaks to me. I hope that if you enjoy these stories, you’ll take the time to explore more from these talented authors.
Remember, if you read any of these stories, please reblog them and leave a kind comment. Even a short “Great story!” means the world to a writer. Show them your support!
Now, let’s dive into the amazing stories I want to share with you.
Moon Knight
Fractured Moon by @melodygatesauthor: This story delves into the Yandere Moon boys’ dark side. It explores non-consensual themes and extreme violence, but the interpretations of the characters are truly exceptional.
Friendly Favors by @runa-falls: Best friends becoming something more? Friends with benefits? Friends to lovers? Yes, please! This story is a must-read for those who enjoy a heartfelt romance.
Rydal Keener
Oxford Comma by @whatthefishh: In this College AU, Rydall is unapologetically snarky and knows how to serve up some sass. Brace yourself for a whirlwind of emotions.
TLOU (Most of what I’m reading right now, if I’m being honest)
Linger On by @ramblers-lets-get-ramblin: Explore the pre-outbreak world with Joel in this angsty, steamy story. It features my boyfriend, Tommy (yes, I can be Tommy’s girlfriend, Angela said so).
Caught by @toxicanonymity: Inspired by “Keep Cry’n,” this story follows Joel as he catches you trying to run. Brace yourself for an intense read. And yes, Tommy is involved in part two!
Maintenance Man series by @gracieispunk: Joel may be married, but that doesn’t stop him from finding pleasure elsewhere. This story delves into the life of Joel, the maintenance man in our building. Expect some steamy encounters!
Hungry Hearts by @atinylittlepain: As you know, I’m a big fan of Bruce Springsteen. In this series, I’ve named two fics after his songs – one featuring Joel and one with Javi/Santi/Reader. The story spans two timelines – college-age and the 2000s. Joel has Sarah, and the reader is Ellie’s mom, which adds an interesting twist.
Exit Wounds by @strang3lov3: Tommy is a beloved character, but this story explores the consequences of cheating on him. Brace yourself for some drama!
Creep by @theywhowriteandknowthings: This story is a must-read. It has darker elements, but nothing too extreme. Use your discretion, but prepare for an unexpected twist!
Only Daddy That’ll Walk the Line by @millerscoffee: Joel isn’t the friendliest character in this story, but it’s worth the read. Dive into the world of complicated relationships and see how it all unfolds.
Not A Survivalist Girl by @tightjeansjavi: This story features some dirty talk that will leave you breathless. Just a heads up, Joel can be a bit of a jerk, but it only adds to the tension.
Miguel O’Hara
Halo by @missdictatorme: Miguel O’Hara takes on his inner Nathan Bateman and gets involved with an AI. Intriguing, right?
Only You Only Me by @astroboots: I must confess, I’m a bit behind on this one. But I promise to catch up soon! Expect a great read from this talented author.
No One But Me by @koshkamartell: In this story, you’ll find yourself torn between breaking things off with Joel and spending time with a hot librarian in Jackson. Trust me, Joel won’t be too happy about it.
Triple Frontier
Under Neon Lights by @campingwiththecharmings: Get ready for some steamy drunk sex with my all-time favorite, Santi <3
Through the Scope by @ssuperficialspacecadett: Reader works for Benny and falls for Frankie. This story explores great relationships with all the boys. Readers should be aware that there are themes of sexual trauma, which I find incredibly compelling.
Shared Breaths by @frenchiereading: Prepare yourself for a tale of love between Dad Frankie and a teacher reader. While Triple Frontier may have forgotten about Frankie having a baby, we certainly haven’t!
The Story of Us by @pimosworld: You served in the military with the boys, and there was an unspoken pact not to sleep with each other. But years later, after helping you escape an abusive situation, they begin to waver, one by one. The result? Well, let’s just say things get steamy. FishBen makes a guest appearance too!
Gosh, it seems like I’ve been reading TLOU stories nonstop lately. But hey, can you blame me? It’s an incredible fandom, and that’s where my writing inspiration lies. Of course, I’m also working on the Javier Peña x Reader x Santi story and a Will fic, but right now, TLOU has my full attention.
I’m sure I’ll remember more amazing Triple Frontier fics soon, but for now, these are the ones I want to highlight.
Before I go, I’d love to quickly plug my latest one-shot! It’s called Shana Tova and revolves around the Moon Boys and a non-Jewish reader. Experience their Jewish identity alongside them. It’s the perfect story to celebrate the holidays, and I can’t help but self-promote a little!
To all the talented writers out there, THANK YOU for your hard work. I appreciate each and every one of you. And to those whose work I may have missed or forgotten to tag, please know that it’s not because I thought your fic wasn’t worthy. I’ve simply been overwhelmed with the amount I’ve read and the chaos that was this summer. I apologize and promise to better organize everything in the future.
Oh, and one more thing – don’t forget to check out Ratingperson for more incredible content!
Happy reading, my friends!
