I’ve never done this before, but I had a new follower ask for a Masterlist of my fan fictions—and I thought, wow, why has that never occurred to me? So without further ado, here it is…
(most of these are Works-in-Progress; I just have so many ideas, and write in several other fandoms as well, so that I am too often remiss in making regular updates)
Reader insert; fluff and fun, includes the young Novices of Kamar-Taj and some timely interaction with The Cloak of Levitation
Doctor Strange x Reader; angst, pining, friendship to romance to smut…and disco dancing ;-)
Stephen Strange x OFC; pre Infinity War; fluff with a little romance
sequel to ‘Friday in the Park with Stephen’; Stephen Strange x OFC; angst, a bit of hurt/comfort, romance, smut
explores the psychological effects of Stephen’s painstaking, devastating search for the one timeline to defeat Thanos (incomplete, as that theme is also explored in 14,000,604)
Stephen must travel back in time to Camelot, to gather information to help him defeat a modern day threat in the English countryside; needs updating
told from The Cloak of Levitation’s point of view; possible tie-in to ‘Faith is My Sword’
Stephen Strange x OFC; very slow-burn romance, angst, pining, magic that heals old wounds, magic that heals the heart…and smut; this one is my Strangebatch opus, with many chapters yet to come
(more titles under the cut)
Keep reading
the aesthetics of supernatural make me want to scream. it starts with dark foggy nights, lonely roads, morning dew on a windshield, black coffee with a vintage book, moving shadows and goosebumps and slowly fades into dark parallels. angel wings and demon eyes, a beautiful blade dripping with blood, burgers and fries paired with liquor and tears, classic rock playing over last breaths. its indescribable.
Haha being a part of AO3 family and Sherlock fandom has given me a reason to exist!
if you think about it, all religions and philosophies are basically elaborate fanfictions about the OG Creator and the creation story.
some are canon-compliant. some are wildly canon divergent. some are fix-it fics trying to rewrite “what went wrong.” some are fluff. some are angst. some are smut. some are full-blown parallel universes with different worldbuilding rules. some are written in metaphor and poetry (10k words of mystic pining). some are just meta commentary in disguise.
you’ve got -
canon-divergent AUs
crossover fics (syncretic religions mashing up pantheons like nobody’s business)
intense ship wars (wars have literally been fought over theology)
mystic fluff (divine love as the ultimate soulmate trope)
smutfic level intimacy (let’s not offend anyone but believe me there are some hardcore shit out there)
philosophy as fan essays debating the creator’s intent
crackfic cults that somehow still have a niche following
humanity’s been adding chapters to the same sprawling multi-universe fanfiction for thousands of years, and honestly? some of the worldbuilding is insane in the best way.
P.S just like the other canons, nobody is interested in this canon.
i love this man more than i’ve misspelled his name.

Someone write this fic nowww!!!!!!!
Fic idea
Dean goes to crash Sam's wedding because he found something shitty about Sam's fiance and is trying to save his baby brother
But he crashes the wrong wedding
"Don't do it! She's not who you want!" Dean yells the second he kicks open the Chappelle doors
Castiel doesn't wanna marry so and so, has been trying to get out of this arraigned bullshit for years
Sees a crazy dude crash his wedding and literally jumps at the opportunity. Doesn't think, just looks at his dad all "He's right father. She's not. I'm gay for that man!" Really awkwardly then runs to Dean, puts all his faith into this and jumps into his arms
Dean has no fucking idea what he just did, but the guards are behind him and now the groom in his arms is going "Run! Run! Run!"
And now Dean is running to his Impala, stuffing Castiel in it, and speeding away with him because fuck his life
And now Castiel is stuck in a road trip to save this random guy's brother from a sham marriage
