Fic Recommendations

[greatcalico]

Hey y'all.

I've been craving some good Check Please fics lately, but have had a bit of a struggle finding them. I'm sorta looking for something largely in-universe, in character, maybe longer... 30k+ words. Honestly, most of these are very loosey-goosey. I just want some real good fic stuff going on.

Anyone have any favorites to share?

The two real stars of long-form fic in this fandom are Maybe I'm Waking Up by Idrilka, and Something Like This by Emmagrant01. They're both Zimbits AUs where The Kiss never happened, that imagine Year 3 differently; I enjoyed them both, though Maybe I'm Waking Up features an involuntary outing, and Something Like This made me a little uncomfortable with its use of real-life people and events.

Seconding staranise's comments. I loved like 95% of Something Like This, though.

If you're a Kent Parson fan, I adore fozmeadows' Scar Tissue (That I Wish You Saw). It's Kent/OMC but also Kent/happiness, and has some of the best OCs (and funniest dialogue) I've ever read, which is why I'm reccing it even though it's a WiP. Jack and Bitty are minor characters in this one, but there's some really touching scenes between Jack and Kent that I thought were handled well. (Warning for involuntary outing though.)
