No worries! I figure you always do amazing recs for us so if you ask for some I should at least share what I can.

I did something wrong in the previous post. Try this:

A Dancing With the Stars AU where Bellamy is a pro-dancer and Clarke is the daughter of the American Vice President. Actually a good amount of plot and angst.

This series is a long soul-mate AU canon-verse that I always recall getting me in the feels each time I read it. Extremely slow burn because Bellarke are incapable of not making their own lives more complicated. Also only rated Teen.

This one is a canon-verse, what if Bellarke met on the Ark. I believe it was written before Season 1 was even over.

My idea of Bellarke fix it is them getting together are early as possible in the time line and / or the story not leaving Earth because the last couple of seasons just gave me anxiety. Hopefully this isn’t too distant from your idea of a fix-it

If you want very well written smutty modern-AU all the stories that I remember from this author are a good bet. She mainly writes Bellarke as D/s with a splash of sane and consensual BDSM.

A weirdly fun AU about all the times that Poker Night Rules were broken. I remember it always made me laugh.

These are fun Modern-AU.

University-AU with an unexplained body-swap that leads to everyone thinking they are dating and then they end up dating as a result. Very cute, no angst that I remember.

Sadly my favourite Bellarke author has nuked their account in the intervening years so I don’t have links to my faves. So here are some fics that I was still able to find. I believe all of them are from before the series ended, hopefully you can forgive me if these are already known to you.

Be kind to yourself and do whatever you need to safeguard your mental health. Take all the time you need.

I’m just sad that I was being slow and didn’t finish writing my comment on Inyë to tell you how much I am enjoying it.

The big thing you have to hand to Sauron, he believes so strongly in his enemies to lovers arc, 850k+ words, dark romance, HEA story.
July 5, 2025 at 6:32 AM
Yep and all of the eye sex and all the pining and all of his power fantasies and it’s his own greatest temptation. At the exact moment that he should be paying more attention to the sad boy weeping over his father.
July 5, 2025 at 6:26 AM
If it happens in RoP, my vote is for during the final battle of the Last Alliance after Sauron kills Gil-Galad and Elendil and this is the distraction used so that Isildur can cut of the One Ring. A scene like that has been my headcanon ever since Halbrand was revealed as Sauron in Season 1.
July 5, 2025 at 6:14 AM
So all of this back and forth has been because you are hyper focused on one line that made a generalization?
July 3, 2025 at 10:00 PM
From my perspective, you joined a thread about discouraging comments and are using it to grandstand about your views on what you call concrit.

It is very hard to see your comments as anything other than tone deaf considering what the rest of us are discussing.

Your beliefs don’t make you correct.
July 3, 2025 at 5:58 PM
Again our realities differ on that.

You have used it to preach from your pulpit about the glories of an idealized form of constructive criticism.

The rest of us are talking about how the reality of these comments NOT being constructive or encouraging is why they are unwanted and unhelpful.
July 3, 2025 at 5:24 PM
The comments everyone else is discussing are not constructive criticism. That is the reason we are discussing them.

We don’t want to be rudely criticized by a rando for something that we shared in an act that benefits them far more than it benefits us. That is the point of this thread.
July 3, 2025 at 5:13 PM
And it feels like you are trying to define every comment we are discussing as constructive criticism while ignoring all of us saying that these comments aren’t constructive or encouraging.
July 3, 2025 at 5:01 PM
Because you joined a thread of people talking about how the current criticism that is being experienced is neither constructive nor encouraging.

You are the one trying to push your view of reality on everyone else.

I’m trying to show you that your reality is not universal.
July 3, 2025 at 4:54 PM
It’s not mutual when it when it goes directly against what we asked for! It’s not bolstering if isn’t wanted! It’s not supportive if it discourages us!

You don’t get to decide what is best for people who have provided you with free entertainment!!!

What part of this is so difficult to grasp?
July 3, 2025 at 4:43 PM
I don’t want empty praise. We have Kudos if you want to do that.
But if you are going to comment you need to remember that that is your payment to the author who did this for free. It should encourage them to keep going and be excited to do so.
Even one about a typo needs more than just “typo here.”
July 3, 2025 at 4:32 PM
Everything that is being discussed here is neither helpful nor bolstering and that is our point.

I’ve been reading fanfic online since 1996, long before comment boxes. When they were added it was to encourage and maybe to point out a typo.

You aren’t being helpful, you are being entitled.
July 3, 2025 at 4:13 PM
It’s really frustrating that this is the hill you want to die on. Have there always been irritating and irreverent people in fandom spaces - yes. That has never been ok. What this is about is how much worse it is for us now. I’m sorry that your normal is terrible but we want better.
