Hi guys! Does anyone have any good story recommendations? My personal favourites are Romance with a hint of hurt/comfort (any rating is fine) Even if you have access to stories that are not on ff.net/archive of our own etc, I would be happy to PM you my email address. - I just read 'Variations of a Theme' yesterday and I absolutely loved it. Thanks in advance  |

Eek there's a lot of em, but I'll just put some fics that I absolutely love re-reading.
- Accidental Governess by mquest
- Gypsy Travellers by mquest (incomplete)
- In a Look by scullypout
- The Widow by augiesannie
- Love and Memory by augiesannie
- Water Under the Bridge by warmwoolenmittens
- Checkmate by ThePoorDidntWantThisOne
- ABC's of Georg and Maria by lemacd
- Pillow Talk by thoroughlymodernJulie
- the entire Fleur de L'Amour series (in four parts) by Bellarsam Chrisjulittle
Also, I think there might be a few more threads in here about our favorite things—I mean, fics, and I'm sure they'll be quite helpful 💕

There's an AU story by pussycatwithattitude, I believe it is titled, "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor". I can't remember if it has hurt/comfort, but it has a little bit of angst. The ending is kind of sad. It is one of my favorites to read.

It is a very good read though. |

I’d also add Untouched by augiesannie and Arrangement (I think that one is Bellarsam Chrisjulittle?). Under the Bridge is my favorite of warmwoolenmittens, but you can’t go wrong with ANY story of her(?)s. |

I particularly enjoyed ‘Attention’ and their latest, ‘Trapp’s Labyrinth’. I second the ‘Untouched’ recommendation, and also offer up ‘The Wishing Ring’ by augiesannie which I reread maybe once a month. There’s also Lauryn Vi’s ‘Northern Star’ which isn’t finished yet, but it’s worth the wait for each new chapter! |

I check daily to see if there’s a new chapter of Northern Star yet! |

Also, I forgot to add Bremerhaven by scrubso, Warm Hearts by zestylime (I loooove coffee shop A/Us), and Aigen Shipping by ThePoorDidntWantThisOne ! They're still incomplete fics, but they're def at the top of my list, too! |

A well written piece that shows different sides of the characters, and of course, it gives you a giant dose of feels (if you're an emotional sap like me). I love it. |

you are so sweet Silver-White-Winters. I don't have a lot to add here, because I love all the same stories you guys do! I still REALLY love shahrazad63's stories, they are what brought me to fanfic in the first place and I still reread them all the time. BTW I was quite amused to see Wishing Ring mentioned by scullypout. This was an experiment on my part to get into more of a fantasy/SF mode and I think it proved I'm not very good at fantasy, like what was the point? But I'm glad you liked it. I have just begun my next project - unfortunately you won't see it for a long time! - which will be somewhat repetitive of the things I've done before because certain ideas just get stuck in my mind, but maybe I shouldn't worry too much about repeating myself :-). Or about more mature content... |

@crispapplestrudels thanks so much for the shout out! It means a lot 🥺 augiesannie I know that it's freaky but I'm super (more like /too/) excited to read what you have in store for us! No rush, though. As they say, one can't rush art. We'll just, you know, wait here like the *patient* people that we are. As mentioned above, I'm sure it'll definitely be worth the wait |

I’ve been away from this forum for some time, and oh gosh, I owe a HUGE apology to those reading the Northern Star (scullypout, sillywhistle, itsdayandnight - don’t know how to tag on my phone  ) who I’ve kept waiting forever. Writing chapter length stories is a relatively new endeavour, mostly because of this fear that I won’t be able to finish the story. Thank you for being so patient with me 🙏🙏 |

In addition to the wonderful stories already mentioned, I LOVE:
Worth Any Price, by augiesannie (completely altered how I saw TSOM)
If Love Finds You Worthy, by lemacd (so many feels...)
Summertime, by RKF55 (made me wish this was in the movie)
Short stories:
Sister Berthe; the Fun Nun, by lemacd
Taxi, by thepoordidntwantthisone
The Wishing Ring (already mentioned, but deserves another mention - I also reach for it time and again, one of my ‘favourite things’ 😁)

Oh, there’s one where Georg finds Maria in town singing in a choir I think? and follows her until they meet up and he ends up taking her home to the villa for Christmas. It’s good, and of course I don’t remember the title at all. There’s also the one where she’s a teacher at the children’s school. I believe it’s the one where she pulls an Anne of Green Gables with a sinking dory and Georg rescues her. He gifts her some fabric and she makes a dress out of it and wears it to the school Christmas program. |

The first one where she is singing in the choir and then comes back to the villa is called Come Away With Me by IDontKnowYourSignal. I don't know the second one. Does anyone remember the title of the story where Georg gives Maria a broche that looks like one her mother had for a Christmas exchange gift? |

sillywhistle I think the Anne of Green Gables one is We Can Start from the Beginning by Lauryn Vi. reverendcaptain I remeber that one with the broach, but I cant remember the title... I'll have to look for it. There are actualy two stories with the same name - Lost by ThePoorDidntWantThisOne and Lost by augiesannie - both are very good and fluffy. There's also one by Warmwoolenmittens that I believe is called Underneath the Mistletoe which is als a fun, festive read.

I found the broach story. It is called Secret Santa by warmwoollenmittens. It's a good read for Christmas feels.

Hello! Bringing this up again because I am so curious to see what everyone else's favourites are. I haven't read anything in quite a while (except those I get notifications for), and though I claim to have read most fics from both the ff dot net and ao3 archives, I'm still constantly looking for fics to (re)read. So if anyone does have any (additional) recommendations, I will forever be grateful!

I just recently read some of laurynvi’s stories. They are so good, both the canon ones and others that are really AU and yet she nails M&G’s characters perfectly. |

Second Annie's vote about laurynvi - and of course, anything written by augiesannie ; also check out IDontKnowYourSignal. She's not on here, but her stories are lovely. She just finished "A Black Swan" a few months ago  |
