Today’s Aromantic Visibility Day so here’s a rec list of all the aro fics I’ve read and liked!

And also! While I’m here I would like to plug my own fic series where I headcanon Super Mario as aromantic :D It’s called Red-Green Colorblind and if you were to read only one fic from it I would recommend Ti voglio tanto bene for the queerplatonic Mareach vibes~

Anyway! The fandoms on this reclist are as follows:

• Ace Attorney [4]
• Call of Duty [1]
• DCU (Batman) [1]
• Harry Potter [1]
• Hazbin Hotel [1]
• Marvel Cinematic Universe [1]
• MCYT 
  • Dream SMP [1]
  • Hermitcraft SMP [4]
  • Last Life SMP Series [2]
  • SOS SMP [1]
• My Hero Academia [4]
• Percy Jackson [1]
• Professor Layton [1]
• Rhythm Doctor [1]
• Sonic the Hedgehog [5]
• The Murderbot Diaries [1]
• Xenoblade Chronicles 3 [1]

This week: a really funny and delightful Sonic fic in which Shadow's allowed to have a sense of humor, and a beautiful Hermitcraft fic that nails the character voices so good you'll hear them speaking the dialogue in your head. Seriously, both of these fics are most likely going on my favorite of the year list, they’re so good.

Five days before the world ends, Cleo is redrafting the outer parapets with graphite staining her fingers into an unflattering shade of grey, and Joe is reading the Odyssey aloud.
Four days after the world ends, Cleo wakes up.

Also, as a bonus: A really really cool found poem made entirely with dialogue from the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword!

...And a work on AO3 titled A Complete Guide to ‘Limited HTML' on AO3, which just saved my butt like an hour ago, lmao

This week: a Team Dark Week anthology, a super cute Hermitcraft fic, and a Bowuigi fic that I somehow hadn't bookmarked yet.

And to finish off Rec-Cember, it’s time for my favorite fics I read this year! Here's the spiel:

This list is based on my AO3 bookmarks and my fic tag on Tumblr! Obviously since this list is labelled “favorite” and not “best”, the fics that didn't make this list aren't necessarily “worse”! If you want them all, check out the two links above! (Or you can go to my Rec-Cember masterpost for most of them, as well)

Anyway, the fandom spread of this year’s list is:

• 40% MCYT
• 12% Sonic the Hedgehog
• 10% Super Mario
• 6% Ace Attorney and Murderbot Diaries each, and
• 26% from other assorted fandoms/crossover fic.

As always, for the fics that didn't have proper summaries nor titles, I filled them in to keep the list looking as uniform as possible!

Here’s another arbitrary category for you 🙂 I based this category on how exactly the fics were tagged, so if it doesn’t seem right, then that’s someone else’s problem, lmao.

Welcome to the start of the MCYT Fic Rec Week-Plus-Two-Days section of Rec-Cember! Because despite really only getting into MCYT last October, I managed to bookmark upwards of almost 400 MCYT fic in total. This was not helped by the time I spent in early January scrolling through the entire Hermitcraft SMP fandom tag on AO3 (filtered for fic with gen, sectioned by year). Which is why Hermitcraft is going to get two whole overflow days in January, lmao.

Anyway I need to get on scrolling through the 2025 Hermitcraft genfic at some point next year. That’ll be fun!
