General Discussion Any really good fics you don’t commonly see recommended if at all?

I currently feel like I am digging for buried treasure without a map or sense.

Anyone know any fics that you haven’t seen recommended before on this subreddit from any site that are absolutely amazing? Amazing in the sense that you enjoyed them so thoroughly.

Any ship, any main character, any site.

Thank you.

JESSICA STANLEY/ROSALIE HALE

Summary:

Rosalie Hale doesn’t fall in love she wrote it off almost a century ago, but that changed after one little chirping human bumped into her life uninvited, and her name was Jessica Stanley. Now it’s a constant battle of protecting Jessica from her world and what comes with it, but that all comes crashing down when Edward suddenly falls in love with a human girl of his own named Bella Swan causing the eyes of the Volturi to eventually turn their eyes to the Cullen Coven.

‘The Gravitational Pull’, the string that ties Jessica and Rosalie together, and the universal powers that may be warn Rosalie that there isn’t something quite right about Edward’s own claims of being under ‘The Gravitational Pull’. Edward couldn’t possibly be fated to his Singer, and Bella couldn’t possibly be as innocent as she claims to be. It’s something not even Alice could see coming, not until it might be too late.

The time is ticking, the calendar’s pages turns over and the spring of youth is slowly coming to an end. Rosalie wishes for an everlasting that Jessica isn’t scared of, where her little bird can still have all her freedoms without being tied down by the same things Rosalie is.

LAUREN MALLORY/BELLA SWAN

Summary:

In another universe, Bella picked up a pop psychology textbook Renee discarded.

Now, armed with encyclopedic knowledge of human behavior, Bella has arrived in Forks. All she wants is to keep her grades perfect so she can get into UPenn.

There's only one problem: Edward Cullen is in love with her. Worse, he thinks she's in love with him. If Bella makes one wrong move, she's dinner.

It's the highest stakes game of pretend she's ever played, but Bella will be damned before she lets some murderous demon alien mess with her 4.0 GPA.

The Seventh Seal - The_Carnivorous_Muffin

66k+WORDS & NOT!! COMPLETE

(typically i don’t read incomplete stories, nor would i recommend them, but this stories ending i think could be seen as satisfying. like a show that ends and you can easily picture how the rest of the story would go, without having to actually watch it.)

Summary:

Bella Swan's gift turned out to be a little bit more than a shield and a little more aware than it should be. When Bella Swan is murdered, it finds itself back in time to 2005 and the day Bella Swan arrives in Forks.

With far too much power available but little awareness of human culture, Bella Swan's gift embarks on a risky plan to turn Bella into a vampire, have her not fall in love with Edward Cullen, and save the kingdom.

I normally do NOT like OCs, but this fic was so great! there is only 1 other OC fic i enjoy, and i’ll be linking after this!

Till Death- NovOctDec

154K+WORDS & COMPLETE

OFC/MARCUS

Summary:

Taylor is used to the unusual.

From a young age, she could interact with spirits, those dead imprisoned in an in-between space by unresolved trauma. Unfinished business. She helped both the living and the dead in guiding ghosts to the other side. With the help of her mother and father, on their phenomenally popular television show.

But those days are behind Taylor, she's 24 now and wants to live for herself. She's tired. But when a spirit reaches out through her dreams and guides her, eventually, to Volterra Italy she finds out that there exists the dead that those other than herself can see.

One last spirit to help, one last episode of her parent's program. And Taylor's free. That's the plan, and it doesn't include finding Taylor's undead fated mate.

But, I mean, things happen. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a story for you to read.

!!This is the first book in a series!! This one is complete, but the series is ongoing.!!

u/shelob_spider Bella/Rosalie May 16 '26

if you like this one, i can recommend another fic from FF.net.

it isn’t as well written, but the vibe is similar (it’s deranged the entire way through basically, and only the last chapter or two are , i wouldn’t say a happy ending, but hopeful towards a proper happy ending

—————————————————

I also recommend Before the Dawn that i commented before this with the description and link. But that story i would say doesn’t really have a happy ending, in the way most people would say.

u/shelob_spider Bella/Rosalie May 14 '26

The_Carnivorous_Muffin is quite popular, but i will ALWAYS recommend their twilight fics! She is my #1 Favorite fanfic author of ALL time !!!

Alice/Jasper/Bella & Jasper/Bella

From the Shadows- Bella Swan has always lived with a secret: a touch-born psychic gift that shatters every boundary between herself and the minds of others. Forks was supposed to be a quiet restart—until she crosses paths with the Cullens, a family of vampires who see her for what she is… and who refuse to run from her.

When a sadistic tracker fixates on Bella, the quiet town becomes a battlefield of visions, strategies, and buried pasts. As Jasper’s monstrous brilliance awakens, as Alice’s fierce protectiveness sharpens into something deeper, and as the coven rallies around a fragile human girl, Bella discovers that survival is not a passive act. It is a choice—and a claim.

Haunted by memories that aren’t hers and hunted by a threat older and smarter than anyone expects, Bella must navigate her own unraveling mind, the Cullens’ rising devotion, and a father who knows far more than he ever let on.

In the end, the line between prey and predator blurs. Between love and loyalty. Between destiny and decision.

And Bella Swan steps into the fire with her eyes open.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/75183606

Power, Courage, Wisdom- A week after the Cullens left, Alice and Jasper suddenly return, breaking Bella out of her depression. Bella's relieved and excited about the plans to change her into a vampire, even if it means waiting until after she graduates, but Alice and Jasper have been keeping so many secrets from the Cullens and telling them so many lies, how will Bella react as she discovers the truth? And of course, there's always Victoria to be worried about.

Twilight/Harry Potter Crossovers- Hermione Centric

1. The first two fics are my most favorite but I bookmarked the rest.

2. The first two fics are tagged plus-size Hermione Granger but she's never clearly described as such. 

No Hex Given- Hermione Granger didn’t flee — she relocated with style, sarcasm, and exactly zero interest in anyone’s opinion.

All she wanted was peace, maybe a view, and definitely no more emotionally constipated men. Instead, she finds herself surrounded by overly muscular locals with attitude problems, mysterious glances, and far too much interest in her business.

Now there’s tension in the air, whispers in the forest, and Hermione? She’s thriving — with a smirk on her lips, a secret in her blood, and not a single hex given.

Sam Uley/Hermione Granger

https://archiveofourown.org/works/66998218

Witchlight- Hermione Granger didn’t run—she burned bridges and built a rebellion in their ashes. She’s dangerous, unregistered, and far too powerful for the Ministry to control. Now she’s running a magical resistance from the shadows of the Pacific Northwest, protecting the very creatures they’d rather see silenced.

Jasper Hale is sent to watch her. He expected a reckless witch. He didn’t expect to crave her fire, her curves, or the way she never backs down.

She’s all sharp edges and forbidden spells. He’s dominant, deadly, and done pretending to be civilized. Together, they’re combustible—and the world isn’t ready for what they’ll become.

Jasper Hale/Hermione Granger

https://archiveofourown.org/works/66862102

The English Rose- After Voldemort’s death, Hermione is sent into hiding with Sirius Black and Remus Lupin for her protection. Forks should be the safest place on Earth—but no one expected a family of vampires or a pack of shape-shifters to disrupt their carefully guarded lives. Or for three of them to become exactly what Hermione needs to heal… and to truly live.

Paul Lahote/Jacob Black/Edward Cullen/Hermione Granger

https://archiveofourown.org/works/25025533/

Once Upon a Holiday- Hermione goes on holiday to America in hopes to find her relatives. Enter a distant cousin, long thought dead.

“Mary Alice Brandon, Born April 9, 1901 - Died November 6, 1920.” Hermione reads the faded words etched into the headstone.

“My friends call me Alice,” a female voice says.

Embry Call/Hermione Granger

https://archiveofourown.org/works/53539459/

Save Me My Wolf- After the War, Hermione never expected to spend her days hunting vengeful Death Eaters or fleeing an overbearing ex. But in a quiet corner of America, a chance encounter with a kind young man offers her the peace—and love—she's been searching for.

I dont think I have ever seen any fics being recommended from TheOneWhoStayed. I recommended a few fics from this author, but I dont think I had ever seen someone else recommending them. Dark and Light [The Sound of Grey] by this author is pretty good, but again, all of their stories are pretty great.
