genshin fic recs
ofc i have fic recs. can you imagine if i didn't also read fanfiction. that'd be insane.
i guess to be fair, i have seen authors who don't read fics for their active fandom specifically so that they don't become too swayed by the current/popular fanon, but i'm not like that. i actually read shitty fanfiction with the absolute worst characterization on purpose sometimes just for fun. if it makes me feel like i'm on ffn in 2012, then that is a unique feeling in itself and it should be treasured without fail.
HowEver, i am a much bigger appreciator of incredibly fine quality fics which just fucking Get It™, which is what THIS rec list is for!! (if you want my anti-rec list, you're gonna have to ask me on discord 
)
anyway, Mind The Warnings when looking through the details of each fic!! i know that my writing is "no archive warnings apply" unless otherwise stated, but there's honestly not really any major warning i won't read— although MCD & Graphic Depictions of Violence are much more common than rape/non-con or underage. (the former i tend to filter out, while the latter i simply find uninteresting most of the time.)
that said, you probably won't find much here that the average fan will find "terribly objectionable" bc at the end of the day, my tastes are kind of basic. LOL.
before i get on with the recs, though, if any of these links are broken for whatever reason, if i'm among the people recommending it, i should have a copy downloaded, so feel free to drop a line (with a return email address!!) asking for a copy!!!
want to submit a rec?? for js reasons, i will need you to fill out the information here and send me a txt file of your results if you're not already on my Trust list.
rec list last updated haha you don't have js enabled.
anyway, it would also be remiss of me to not also include this xiaoven fic rec doc put together by juuxzi (whom i believe went by "qingxinq" on twt at the time) that i definitely relied heavily on in my early days of exploring xv!!
its last (and considering the original maintainer's current interests, i presume final) update was on 27 september 2022, so do keep that in mind!!
