I just did and am having the best time. What are some of those fics (or combination of tropes) that hit just right?

Oh man, I love finding those fics! Usually the ones that stick in my mind long-term are longfics, and pining is pretty much always a major element, but beyond that I'd say the components of my all time faves are extremely variable and specific to the particular OTP.

Revelations by the ride-to-church anon always stands out to me, because it's everything I want from a Starker fic, and it's basically the only Starker fic that truly gives me everything I want from that ship.

Parabiosis by Penumbra (The X-Files) was like a freaking religious experience for me the first time I read it, lol. Universal Invariants by Syntax6 (also TXF) was another mindblowingly satisfying read.

A River Without Banks by Chryse and The Paradox Series by Wordstrings (both Johnlock) land in this category for me.

And I would say Away Childish Things by Lettered and At Your Service by Faith Wood (both Drarry) are in this category, though I'm less hyperfixated on Drarry than I have been on my other OTPs, so the experience of reading really, really good fics for this ship is less intense overall.

I recently rediscovered my age gap kink and have been having fun tracking down pairings that contain the problematic dynamics I love. Magically old man who doesn’t look old with young human woman is apparently my thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can you please share some of your faves? This is a trope i love in soap operas/dramas and am naturally down for in fic (although I tend not to mind if it's also just an older guy and younger woman)

Seconding the request to share, please, OP.

S/A here with a couple recs

(Age gap without magically older man)
Buffy Summers/Rupert Giles - The Apocalypse Stone by antennapedia, rated Explicit: https://archiveofourown.org/works/387637

(No age gap, just four centuries of tension getting resolved)
China Sorrows/Skulduggery Pleasant - Under My Skin by d_first_into_the_impala (Into_The_Unknown), rated M: https://archiveofourown.org/works/22359778/chapters/53417392

Valkyrie Cain/Skulduggery Pleasant - Strangers in the Night by Jixico, rated M (but is explicit): https://archiveofourown.org/works/16969197/chapters/39882168
Note that Skulduggery is a 450 year old skeleton

Rogue/Logan (X-Men movieverse, original trilogy timeline) - The Wanting Time by JaqofSpades, rated Explicit: https://archiveofourown.org/works/202973/chapters/300814

This Walking Dead series hit me more emotionally than the show. https://archiveofourown.org/series/893985

This hurt/comfort Steve fic is fantastic. https://archiveofourown.org/works/747827/chapters/1394923

Yes! And I'm always so damn pleased!!! And then sad when it's a WiP lol or as I'm approaching the end, but if it is that good, then the end will be satisfying as well :)

Ugh! So good!!!

Those are so wonderful to find!

I love funny, joyful fics without angst but they are so rare for me that whenever I stumble on one it absolutely makes my day. All on AO3, recs are: grape expecations by snooki (NamJin); got me feeling sub kind of way by archived (arahir) (Sheith); Social Time by Tierfal (Royed); and Just Say the Magic Word by mi3likki (YoonKook)

The other fic that just gets me are ones with ace- or demisexuality. Reading The Inside of Emptiness by Tierfal made me realized that I was Ace and it was so beat for beat my own feelings that I just love it so much.

YEEEEEEEEEEESSSS, omg. When you find that kind of fic, you just...cling to it.
