Rec List!!!

This took me forever to decide to make because I knew. I just knew. If I made a rec list, I’d have to comb through the dozens of fics I’ve read and you’d all see just how much trash I am for this ship. But I owe you guys a thing for 200 followers and it seemed like a small price to pay xD So here they are, in no particular order:

For Every Evil by A_Lonely_Soul (ImpendingExodus) ; Okay this may be hands down my favorite sheith fic of all time. The plot is simple, the whole stranded-on-an-alien-planet-trope is done perfectly, especially when you add in the fact that Shiro’s been paralyzed and they’re running out of time. It’s set somewhere in the future canonverse, it’s got great characterisation and introspection into the characters, and it’s just all around heart-wrenching (in the best way) Please for the love of everything, read this.

Under Neon Skies by mongoose_bite ; This one is slightly AUish?, set after season 2, following Shiro’s journey in a parallel universe where Keith was raised by the BOM. The worldbuilding is insane, the characterisation is A+, and the interactions are honestly just perfect. Definitely recommend this one.

everything was normal but it wasn’t right by starboykeith ; Whooboy fuck me up, this was a Beautiful™ look into how Shiro really changed, not just in the obvious ways but also how he viewed himself, and what goes on more in his head (so, more introspection) but it somehow takes it outside too, and includes the others and the atmosphere of the Castle, which was really well done.

Little Wounds by Nova_Cain ; A one-shot set after season two where Keith gets a nose scar in battle… you can figure out the direction of it (angst) but it has Coran and something about it is just so… melancholic? I just really enjoyed it for some reason, even if it was short.

Falling Forward by flyingisland ; FLUFF. PINING SHIRO. WINGMAN PIDGE. WHAT ELSE COULD YOU WANT.

Old Honeycomb by HiddenEye ; Matt pov because who doesn’t love that? Goes from fluff to angst to more angst and confessions, and it spans pre-kerb to post s4 and it’s wonderful.

Slip the Surly Bonds by Sol1056 ; This is 21 chapters of pre-kerb world-building. I’m not even sure where to start with this one, it’s just that good. The author really manages to delve into the platonic relationship while keeping the entirety of the story so separate from the canonverse line- simply put, the Garrison and the two students’ hopes and dreams are the plot, and it really focuses on just that. This is a masterpiece, it’s so well written.

and all that’s left is you by arahir ; Tbh this is probably another one everyone’s read, and it’s amazing. It goes through some pre-kerb, up to the end of s2, and everythi n g hu rts -the characterisation is spot on, it’s all in line with canon, and you may cry from the secondhand grief but you’ll be happy?? Read this one, seriously.

Text me, maybe by captainhurricane is 24 chapters of pure, adorable falling-in-love-over-texts-trope fic, and it will make you laugh and squeal guaranteed. Check the tags for tw’s, but I think it really did a good job at delving into the trauma, and that made it more heartbreakingly fulfilling at the end.

don’t forget the salt by tagteamme ; Cooking shenanigans and Dad Of Marmora Kolivan, sign me the fuck up. It’s domestic and fluffy and will make you cringe and laugh- just read it. Do it.

And there you have it! Let me know if the links aren’t working!

See, that’s what the app is perfect for.
