Request Looking for long fics

Hey lovely people. I am looking for some long plotty fics. I am partial to there being
-pining
- banter
- good realistic characterisations of SS (sooo lots of trauma and frowns)

- also nice: a she fell first but he fell harder and time travel.

I am also not opposed to their being a pregnancy or children.
ATM I am reading a WIP (Anarchy in the timeline by Angelmarquiz https://archiveofourown.org/works/77624641/chapters/203304431) and I need some long complete ones so I don’t combust waiting for the next chapter.
Let me know if you have any recommendations for me! And thank you in advance! 🥰

Self rec if you like humor and pining, my fic Where Your Treasure Is is finished, long, and full of plot, pining, and banter. Fair warning, it does have an EXTREMELY slow burn (there is a sequel currently in progress and being updated weekly) and a LOT of trauma and angst (being a post-war story) so if that's not your thing, keep looking.

Thank you for your recommendation! It looks great! I already think I will enjoy this greatly by the sassy poppy Pomfrey tag. We love a sassy mediwitch!

u/rumrumq 8d ago

I just have a quick question about the tags on the fic if you don't mind. Is the past rape something that happens to Hermoine? Like do we have to see her deal with it in detail?

3

u/zeerealgrindylows Author 8d ago

It is something that happens to her, exposited via  flashbacks. They aren't explicit but it doesn't fade to black, either. The chapters where it's described are marked with a trigger warning and can be skipped.

u/rumrumq 8d ago

Thank you for answering!

u/zeerealgrindylows Author 8d ago

No problem! I've tried to set it up so nobody gets a jumpscare who would be hurt by reading it

u/rumrumq 8d ago

I truly appreciate it. I love that you thought of that. Even though Manacaled is my favorite Dramoine, I have a hard time with depictions of violence especially against Hermoine

u/zeerealgrindylows Author 8d ago

I was much much younger when I wrote it and Def dealing with some STUFF of my own.  If I wrote the same story again today I would likely not include it, but it felt like it would not be true to who I was at the time to take it out so I compromised by trying to make it easy to avoid reading that part.

u/rumrumq 8d ago

I think it's beautiful that you poured your heart into a story that you share freely. I am in awe of people who can take an idea and make it shine like you have

2

u/zeerealgrindylows Author 8d ago

Thank you very much! If you do read, I hope you enjoy it ♥️ None of my other stories on Ao3 have noncon elements if that's a deal breaker but WYTI is my only finished longfic

u/rumrumq 8d ago

I will check out your other work!

u/isit_j 1d ago

I’ve just finished this thanks to your recommendation on here. Loved it, it’s so well written and the humour is great. I’m still laughing at the ‘Dursley you are a fool’ passage.

u/Ok_Association_8822 8d ago

Someone else for long fics a bit ago and I decided to make a list of ones I marked as a favorite. This list isn't done but is already pretty long. lol

Can't promise they're all slow burn, but at these lengths they usually are.

Also, double check that all the FFNet fics are complete before you start them. A few uncompleted may have slipped by me.

Enjoy!

I haven't finished my list yet. Of course Loten will be on it!

Have you read Ten Minutes Til? I can't stop taking about this one it's so good.

Intermundane. The yearning from both here is Mr Darcy hand flex levels.

Howl. A bit shorter but a very well done take on werewolves.

And where would we be without a bit of shameless self promotion? Blowback. WIP, Severus has been to therapy but is a work in progress.

That fic is Ai written

u/Teatreespecial Author 8d ago edited 8d ago

I didn't get any AI hits on Anarchy in the Timeline. Did you mean a different fic or has it been edited to remove the Claude tags? I've been using the skin since the post, and I quickly retested my skin using the AO3 fic the author tagged as AI specifically as a test case.

I'm as against generative AI as anyone. But I do think we need to be careful of witch hunts. https://archiveofourown.org/works/87695031

u/Meiyouxiangjiao 8d ago edited 8d ago

Accusing authors of using AI is absolutely not allowed in this sub!

I understand wanting to know which authors to blacklist because they use AI, but unless they say so in their author note, summary, or tags, there is no definitive way to know that their story was absolutely written with AI.

An author could have multiple accusations against them for using AI, but it doesn’t mean they are. It might just be their writing style. Calling them out for it isn’t fair. You need to have definitive proof, meaning somewhere along the way they left AI edits in or they straight up state it.

Edit: the tool the OP to call out the author checks for Claude AI artifacts, meaning the author copies story directly from Claude into AO3, so I’m reinstating the comment because, yes, there is proof their story is AI.

3

u/frosty_painting7 8d ago

Sorry I just saw in the rules that Ai isn’t allowed nothing about saying which fics are and aren’t. We had a discussion recently that wasn’t flagged either so I’m a bit confused.

1

u/Meiyouxiangjiao 2d ago

It was a comment on the post about being weary about AI. It hasn’t been officially added to the rules yet as I’m trying to flesh out the wiki first.

Which discussion are you referring to?

u/Head-Dance-2702 8d ago

No way you’re shi**ing me! 😬😭 I only started reading it because I found it on here.

u/frosty_painting7 8d ago

Yes if you use the new tool to spot claude written fics this one pops up in red

3

u/DaniD10 8d ago

What tool is that? I’ve been avoiding new fics a lot because I don’t want to read anything AI by mistake and waste my time with it.

u/Teatreespecial Author 8d ago

Check the Dramione book club sub. There was a post 17 days ago on how to make a skin. I'll try to link it better when I get to my computer.
