• Missed Signals, Lost Lines Reguri
  • During his journey across Kanto, Red starts recording what other people have to say about Green in his new electronic device, the Fame Checker.
  • A chatty gossip like you… That thing's perfect, Green said, ignoring every truth about their situation in the process.

A fucking masterpiece. I've read this twice and cried both times. A must read.

• We're Fire Waiting for a Spark Reguri
  • Oh, Green realizes, there it is. There were signs, sure, signs he didn’t want to think about, but they’ve crept up on him too slowly for him to label them, and now it’s like he’s been dunked underwater, the same way he was when he first started training with Chuck. This time, the water comes in the form of bright red eyes and a heart of gold, and still, Green can hardly breathe.
  • So, he’s fourteen and in love with his rival and best friend. He can think of worse things that could happen.

*Sobs violently* Pokemon Special,,, my beloved. The ending punched me in the gut like it had a personal vendetta. The pining, the internalized denial of feelings because he thinks he doesn't stand a chance, the implication that he did have a shot but it's too late now, GOSH. This fic has everything. Go read it, and Pokemon Special too while you're at it.

• Services Rendered SuperBat
  • Golden and Silver Age comics certainly featured a lot of superheroes in charity kissing booths, didn't they?

Just regular ol' SuperBat shenanigans in the Silver Age comics. Love it.

• Force of Habit NaruMitsu
  • Phoenix is a little too used to ending phone calls with Trucy with "Okay, I love you, bye!"
  • So what happens when he ends a phone call with Edgeworth like that?
• Special Valentines NaruMitsu
  • Nine-year-old Phoenix just wants to feel special for Valentine's Day. His classmate Miles hates the silly holiday, but wants his friend to be happy. Kid-fluff!
• How to Make a Newsie's Day NaruMitsu
  • "A Lunch Date with Opposing Counsel Causes No “Objections”! screams the headline. The picture is of Phoenix and Edgeworth, sitting together at that little cafe near the courthouse that Phoenix likes to drag Edgeworth to when he sees his friend hasn’t been eating. They’re leaning in close and Phoenix is laughing at something Edgeworth had been saying. He must have been, because Edgeworth has that little smug quirk to the corner of his lips that he always gets whenever he makes Phoenix laugh so hard he has trouble breathing."
• Satisfaction Brought It Back SuperBat
  • Bruce always thought that Superman's cute shtick of rescuing cats from trees was a bid for publicity—until a confrontation with a magic user leaves him stuck as a cat. He learns how mistaken he was when Superman not only rescues him, but takes him back to a small Metropolis apartment. The opportunity to learn more about the alien can't be ignored, but is Bruce ready for everything he will learn about someone he has only ever regarded with distrust and dislike?

Bruce gets turned into a cat and catches feelings for Clark. That's it. That's the fic.

• aphelion NanaGo
  • She will wonder if the man with white hair is in love. She will wonder if his friend feels the same.
  • Nanami and Gojo through the eyes of an observer.

GOSHHHHH. This fic wrecked me when I first read it. It's short and anything but sweet. I loved every word of it.

• Are You Bold Enough to Reach for Love MunaSaka
  • It's getting closer to Valentine's Day, and Sakakura would like to confess, but... for now a love letter will have to do.
• the rest of our sunsets ItaJunpei
  • You never forget your first love.

*Sobs violently* JUNPEIIII

• (honey) there is no right way Hedric + Time Loop
  • ‘Have you tried everything?’ Hermione asked insistently.
  • ‘Yes! Every time I get to the cup and Cedric doesn’t take it with me I go immediately back to my bed in the morning. But all the times he is with me, he dies and after I fall asleep I return too.’
  • ‘I guess it is obvious then, isn’t it?’ Both Harry and Hermione turned to stare at Ron, who looked at them defensively and shrugged ‘You have to go with Diggory and make sure he survives.’
• Demon Cyborg's Livestream GenoSai
  • Despite this being his first stream, and despite the fact that there has been absolutely no information regarding when he would begin streaming at all, just the tiny “Coming soon!” graphic next to his name on the website, there’s immediately a group of fans excitedly and immediately tuning in once Genos' livestream finally comes online. They’d been waiting, actually, ever since his name was added to the HA’s list of heroes taking part of their new Exciting Daily Lives of heroes-livestream project, and word is spreading fast via the HA’s subforums, people pinging each other to tune in immediately. The viewer count steadily rises by the minute.

• Encore! Time Travel Fix-It
  • Michael Afton was fully prepared for his death. Sadly for him, the universe (or, rather, Charlie Emily) had other plans. What was he supposed to do when offered a chance to rewrite his life?

One of the first time travel Michael-centric fics I read! Waiting for every update and seeing it get closer to the end was an experience. (It's so nice when you watch a long fic get updated in real time omg). I felt like the ending was a little underwhelming, but this fic started off really strong and even inspired me to start writing my own Afton Family-centric fic. The William interludes were so creepy and were my favorites to read through. Good fic.

• A Safe Place Evan and William Centric
  • Evan, terrified by Michael's incessant scaring, hides himself away in the diner's storage room.
  • What follows makes Evan question if anywhere, or anyone for that matter, is safe.

The gaslighting is strong in this one. Another fic that inspired me to write my fic! Evan and William interaction fics are so scarce for some reason, and this happens to be one of my favorites. Creepy portrayals of William are always neat to read, and the fact it's in Evan's perspective only amplifies that.

• Sea Waves Reguri
  • At first, Red is reluctant to go with Green to a foreign region. His expectations are exceeded; Alola's a beautiful place. He just doesn't expect to fall in love while he's there, is all.

One of the first Reguri fics I remember reading! I miss the Alola fics so much, and the characterization of the two makes my heart melt. Honestly I crumble into a mess of pure giddiness when I read this so I can't give any coherent thoughts, but their interactions, the pining, beautiful.

• right here, on my phone ZenTan
  • Zenitsu has a magical device that keeps track of his relationships in real life with cute hearts, kind of like an otome game!
  • Wait, why does Tanjirou have bombs? what do the bombs mean does Tanjirou hate him oh fuck Tanjirou hates him wh-

One of the first ZenTan fics I read. Holy shit. The characterization in this is so good???? Woefully oblivious Zenitsu getting himself into accidental romantic situations while Tanjirou watches on growing more and more jealous each time it happens. BOY. I love it.

• Communicate Reguri
  • Red's fine with having a crush on Green (and therefore having bad taste in guys), he can keep that to himself; but that doesn't mean he knows how to handle Green possibly having eyes for someone.
  • Poorly, most likely.

Miscommunication! Jealousy! Valentine's! Red running away from his feelings! This fic has it all. I love it.

• fulfilling life-changing events SuperBat + Batfam shenanigans
  • Vorfreude (German; noun) is defined as the intense euphoric sensation you experience from thinking about future pleasures and joyful anticipations, such as playing a prank, going on a date, getting married, punching someone in the face, and many other fulfilling, life-changing events.

This is it. This is the only social media SuperBat fanfic ever. I've read this like five times now and I still laugh at all the shit that happens.

• In a Country Churchyard Hedric + fix-it
  • They passed through the barrier and found themselves in Kings Crossing proper, everywhere thronged by children also back for the summer holiday. Any one of the smiling adults could be Harry's relations, so Cedric kept his eyes sharp for lanky builds or unruly dark hair or bright green eyes, amid all the joyful reunions going on around them. It was hard not to be infected by the celebratory mood.
  • Maybe a summer holiday in the peaceful, uncomplicated muggle world was exactly what Cedric needed.

Cedric lives! And ends up pining.

• (un)just desserts AtsuKita
  • Atsumu's role as head of the party planning committee comes in handy when it's time to plan the birthday party of his crush in HR.
  • All that's left to do is pick up the cake.
• whisper laughter AtsuKita
  • Atsumu is screwed.
  • He’s got no clue why he just said that, because honestly, everyone knows he’s lying. Atsumu is known to be many things, but being Kita Shinsuke’s boyfriend has never been one of them.
  • And yet, what had just come out of his mouth at this party, completely sober but drunk on the energy, was that he’s been dating their team captain for a little over a week.
  • So, really. Atsumu is screwed.
• Replay Value KomaNami
  • She’s not sure how many times she’s played his route. This was either the 55th or the 15545th time.
  • That best ending has eluded her every single time.
  • (Post-SDR2 AU where Nanami is trying to fix and wake Komaeda through a retread of the intended island simulation but ends up having to restart her attempts so many times due to failure that she might end up breaking herself.)
• An Incredible Simulation KomaNami
  • As he watched over the girl, a motion on the screen soon lead Komaeda to realise that the handheld system had been left on. Out of curiosity, he plucked it off her, earning a frown, as if she could feel herself being distanced from the device, even in her sleep.
  • Komaeda 'helps' Nanami with one of her games.
• Professor Graham's Cheekbones Hotty & Extraordinary Foodie Husband Hannigram
  • Online classes due to the quarantine are how Professor Graham's students learn that: 1) Professor Graham has a cute dog; 2) Professor Graham is married; and 3) Professor Graham's husband is smoking hot.

• The Body of a Dream (Series) William and Henry Centric
  • It began with a dream.

GOSHHHH. This whole series is fantastic. The portrayal of William and how Henry mostly sees him in a positive light for years until shit hits the fan. My personal favorite is Ears, I love his interactions with the Funtimes and his moment with William before Freddy scares him in the vent. Beautifully written all the way through. Go read it.
