I've been reading lots of fanfics recently, and I wanted to share a few recs. I'll start with a thread for AUs and I'll keep adding more!

BTW, I welcome recs and suggestions based on these ones!!

Note: if you’ve written any of these and would like to be tagged with your mastodon account instead of the AO3 handle, just let me know! (Or if you don't want your fanfic here or whatever.)
