I Read This Instead of Sleeping
Fics I recommend that will keep you up all night, happily trade your sleep for that will leave you with dry and/or puffy eyes the next morning, but oh-so satisfied... and wanting more.
List shall include fics with at least ten-thousand words or more, and quite a few crossovers and genderbends.

Summary
A normal dream of being under a sexy and hot villain diverted into a path the dreamer never thought it would take. She transmigrated into the body of her newest crush, Wen Ruohan's, wife. A woman whose existence was a blip in the scale of this series. Nothing more than the woman who birthed Wen Ruohan's children and died off screen. The dreamer promised herself to divert Wen Ruohan into a less evil path. Anything was better than what her new husband got himself into during the canon storyline.

I love the writing! It's so surprising that this one hasn't been abandoned even if there is a long time in between chapters. I'm glad to have discovered this hidden gem. It's so funny and exciting to see the subtle differences in the Lore or the development in each character and sect.
Also who doesn't get the fangirl tingles when a big bad (hot) villain becomes a doting and devoted husband? -

Summary
He met her like he met everything else in his life. With incredible brute force.
-
Katsuki stared, immobilized.
ba-thump.
What was that? It came from somewhere deep in his chest. An injury? No. He had been keeping meticulous tabs on their moves - this was training after all, he had to be able to analyze the fight once it was over in order to improve.
ba-thump.
"I actually won," Hikaru repeated breathlessly. The corners of her lips twitched into a smile. The messy strands of her hair stuck to her flushed cheeks.
Despite the usual contempt of frustration that came with defeat, Katsuki felt something else. Something foreign. Something new.
ba-thump.
His pulse pounded in his ears. He clenched his fists but the distinct anger that he used to cling to faded away into nothing but a single thought running rampant through his head.
ba-thump.
Damn it.
ba-thump.
She looked real fuckin' pretty.

Where Fools Roam by HotShotHappiness
completed / chapter 19
BNHA AU, Bakugo x OC, Slow Burn, Slice of Life, Pro Hero!Characters, Crack & Angst, Growing Up, Trigger Warnings: Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Self-esteem Issues, Angery babies being Angery, ANGST,This is like, the most convoluted fluff fic I've read in some time. And I like it so much. I love the characterizations and how they're so consistent all throughout the fic even with account the character development gradually happening. I love how the vast majority of the fic came from Katsuki's POV and we get a front row seat of his thought process and feelings. I love how it didn't feel rushed but also wasn't stretched out unnecessarily. I love how the Mains are always, always trying to do better, even when circumstances aren't in their favor. Especially then, even.
Also I sweat Kirishima and Kaminari are the best bros Bakugo could ever have in his corner. And I know there's a sequel, but I also really like how open ended this one finished. So even if anyone doesn't want to go and get wrecked in the heart again, or one isn't ready to bet on their feelings in the sequel; this ending is a good place to rest and let the imagination run wild for these two.
May this Ship run free and wild always.

Petardo by Bluu6293
chapter 58
BNHA AU, Canon-verse, Bakugo x OC, Slow Burn, Eventual Romance, DadMight & DadZawa, POC!OC, Spanish Language inside, Best Boi Izuku, Best Girls Mina & Ochako, Protective!1-A, Bakugo Katsuki is a SIMP, Trigger Warnings: Canon Typical Violence, Trauma, PTSD, Neglect, Allusions to Torture (Kamino Arc), Panic Attacks, etc.Super happy and excited for this fic. The character development is great, the dynamics is heart warming and I love me some simp Bakugo who doesn't shy away from his feelings. We love a self-assured man. And also MVP goes to Dadzawa and DadMight, these two literally keeping their kids together with love and full support 🥹 and Mama Inko being super supportive and a gentle kindness for Izuku and Isabel, as does Mama Mitsuki being the aggressive but inwardly softy backbone.
Looking forward to see how this progresses. Both in the relationship part and the emotional turmoil/trauma part.Petardo means Firecracker in Spanish

Summary
Reading dark Percy and Apollo fanfics? Fun.
Waking up inside one? Not so much.At some point in our lives, we all dream of something more—living an adventure, stepping into a fantasy world, falling in love with our favorite character.
And when it happens—when you find that series, movie, book, or video game that hooks you—you can’t help but imagine yourself in it.
But that’s all it is. Imagination. Fantasy. A dream.So tell me—how the hell am I lying on a beach in my hospital scrubs with a guy who claims to be Percy Jackson?
And to make it worse, this all seems to be exactly the plot of that Perpollo fanfic I was reading before I fell asleep.I could stay out of it. Just survive.
But damn it, why do I have to have such a good heart?Someone has to save Percy.
And it looks like that someone is me.- Language:

The Plot! The World building! Absolute Top-tier shit! It has a kind-of fanfiception going on with the Plot, what with our MC having been isekaied into one of those angsty, filthy, taumatizing PerPollo fics that just so happen to be in actual Ancient Greece. Our girl is not having the time of her life, and is absolutely miserable from not just trying to protect the TiredTM!Hero of Olympus, but of also trying to piece what tf is happening to her body and soul after being hijacked by sentient shadows.
We're in for a looong bumpy ride, mfs. Prepare tissues and stress balls cause we won't be able to reach in a strangle a few characters and our girl is Just Tired of the sht already. And we're not even in the fun part yet! Holy Shit.

Green Light in the Dark by hopefullydreaming
Chapter 74
Harry Potter AU, OC x Theodore Nott, Slow Burn, Eventual Romance, Pureblood Society, Pureblood Politics, Black Family Lore, Growing Up, Canon Typical Violence,There's a lot going on, but it's a really good read, and written nicely too. It's LONG by the way, so sometimes I get bored reading in the middle and take breaks. But the flow is fine, a and it doesn't drag each year on and on unlike other fics. Though inter character dynamics are a bit messy, but then again our main character is a bit (a lot) of an unreliable narrator so it feels like we're missing a lot of off-screen context when she does as well.
We're at 4th year and we're still not seeing the endgame ship rock (or any ship at all lmao), so this one would probably take as long as the James-Lily ship going. 😆WE NEED PATIENCE!
