Put Your Ray Gun To My Head by grocketinmypocket

Summary
Peter's sleep was deep, perfect, and dreamless. He would have probably slept for a day or more, but woke in the pitch darkness of midnight to a familiar, heavy sensation on his chest. Rocket. His whiskers were tickling Peter's face, and tears were dripping hotly onto Peter's face and neck, but Peter stayed completely still, still like there was a venomous wasp on his cheek, because above the soft sound of Rocket sobbing, he heard the whine of one of his own pistols charging.

Bookmarker's Notes
It hurts exquisitely. As someone who's been in this situation from both sides, it's all so agonizingly, amazingly genuine. Came for the Raccoon, stayed for the pain, and somehow even the sex scene got me invested despite my lack of lewd interest. Just, just read it, trust me.

A very satisfying and fulfilling sequel, combined with the first to make the best MHA fic I've yet read. Read the first one. Cry. Read this one. Cry some more but also start feeling okay! Know I'm definitely gonna go back and read it every now and then.

This is a companion piece to my story, "The Shepard Code."

Bookmarker's Notes
The only OC/canon I've read so far that is legitimately great. It's a very human tale about Garrus unable to let Shepard go, the woman he marries not feeling good enough for him as a result, and their journey reconciling those two important but conflicting needs. Don't miss this one!

Summary
Five years after the events in-game, Mae and Bea have saved up enough money to move to Bright Harbor, following in Gregg and Angus' footsteps. Now living with Bea, Mae struggles to hide her feelings for her. Things don't always go how you wanted them to, however, but that doesn't mean that what happens instead can't also be what you truly wanted.

Bookmarker's Notes
A very, very, very rough diamond. In desperate need of more narration and descriptions to better set the mood and break up all the dialogue walls, also has a tentative grasp on the proper use of punctuation, but such a good story otherwise. Seriously stressed me out in the later tragic scenes, at least one part I wanted to cry, so it was clearly doing something right!

Summary
When a figure from Badgerclops's past shows up in Pure Heart Valley, the sheriff's department is thrown into chaos. With the lives of everyone in the city on the line, can Badgerclops and Mao Mao hold themselves together and fend off this new enemy? Or will they crack under pressure and let Pure Heart be destroyed?
Plot-heavy fic focused on developing Badgerclops's backstory while showing how it impacts his present-day relationship with Mao Mao & his feelings about himself. Completed! No more updates :)

The Essay Writing Competition by stardustedruins

Summary
“I have a single condition that your participant list must meet.”
Shouta simply arches an eyebrow.
“Midoriya Izuku will have to participate, regardless of whether he volunteers or not.”
It starts with a seemingly innocent essay competition, but Aizawa Shouta can never be too careful when his problem child and Nedzu are involved in the same plan.

Summary
Shouta gripped the phone tight enough to make the phone case groan. “So it’s true. Midoriya was Quirkless.”
“Until soon before the entrance exam,” Nedzu confirmed. “That’s not relevant now, though, because—“
“Relevant?” Shouta hissed. “Midoriya is barely functional, socially. He doesn’t trust any adult. He thinks the whole world hates him. He apologizes for everything except breaking the law, and I’m sure I can trace every single one of those things back to his Quirklessness. You call that irrelevant?”
Aizawa visits Aldera Junior High and finds out some disturbing truths.

Most popular NitW fic for damn good reason. Sears and soothes the soul as it goes and makes everything feel Right. As far as I'm concerned, this is how the sequel would have gone.

Summary
Mao Mao has finally confessed his romantic feelings to Badgerclops! So now Badgerclops would like to see him naked, please.
This is a short fic about the ways in which Mao Mao's traumas and insecurities are reflected in his body, and how Badgerclops helps him make peace with that. I wanted to zoom in on Mao Mao early in his process of recovery - his thoughts and coping mechanisms are still pretty bad, but he's actively trying to do better.

Despite his misgivings about his former lover, Tom Nook decides to allow Redd to participate in the event as a vendor. What Tom wasn't quite prepared for was for Timmy and Tommy to so desperately want to spend time with their 'Uncle Redd' again...

The sex scene at the climax (huehue) is in desperate need of a phallic thesaurus, but all the buildup to it is lovely work. And now as far as I'm concerned the canon name of the New Horizons island is Whileaway, it's just such a good one.

Lovely little story. The stuff in the "present" of New Horizons is nice, but the gut-wrenching betrayal of the flashbacks is so good I can't help but believe that's what canonically happened between them, even as I read other Nook/Redd fics.

The sort of syrupy saccharine sweetness I needed lately; brought a big, dopey smile to my face and gentle warmth to my heart. Not a fan of the humanization aspect, but it's never overt and in fact pretty easily ignored.

What canonically happens after The Devil's Playhouse, as far as anyone should be concerned. The sort of cathartic tragedy that makes it all feel right again. On a personal note, also what got me back into fanfiction after many years of not reading.
