Mayo's Ultimate Top Fic Recs
The top of the top when it comes to my fic recs. The fics that fundamentally changed me. The fics that left me thinking about them for days. The fics that made me who I am today.

Summary
Three blows from a bayonet had transfixed Combeferre’s breast, followed by a fall from the barricade as he rapidly lost first blood and then consciousness. But neither of these, it seemed, was enough to kill him, as much as later he might perhaps wish that they were.

I've listened to this so many times I'm pretty sure I can recite it by heart. Matriaya has such a lovely voice to listen to and the pacing is perfect.

“The universe didn’t tell me to love you,” Steve says finally, passing a hand over the scars on his torso, as he often does. “It told me to save you. They’re– they’re two different things.”
— a coda to the lathe

Heavy fic, heed the tags and warnings, but absolutely beautiful.
Eddie in this fic pulls out the kind of aching feelings I have when I think about my younger self. It's the Start of the journey. With Joyce not being Eddie's mom but being something, relationship with Little Byers, Robin being iconic and Steve and Eddie giving me years to my life.

We Should Just Kiss (Like Real People Do) by Oonionchiver

Summary
‘Please?’
Eddie stops him again, this time by holding his face. Steve feels Eddie’s thumb moving over his cheek, he feels the cool metal of his rings. He feels everything except what he needs.
‘I’ve never loved anything the way I love you, Steve Harrington,’ Eddie says, dark brown eyes moving between Steve’s own. ‘This isn’t the moment, sweetheart.’
It’s not a rejection, but it’s not a kiss. Steve quietly cries, insides cut up on the broken shards of his stupid little heart and Eddie holds him, he holds him all night until they fall asleep together.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is the fic that I yelled about in discord until other people read it. This is the fic that has to be experienced to be understood. My brain in a fork and this fic is the garbage disposal ding ding ding ding ding. This is learning to love in a time of trauma and learning what that means in a time of peace. It's healing and hurting and pain and pleasure. It's snow day and star shine and being a safe space for each other and the wider family. It's about the trauma that came before and healing by becoming what you needed. It's grief and it's growth.
