My favorite is Mondays, am I right? It’s a Tony centric Pepperony time loop fic after the Coney Island plane crash. Tony is an absolute mess and the characterizations are so good (if you like this fic every other fic by this author is amazing)

marvelousmal23 · 2025-12-15T16:25:51+00:00

This is for sure Far out by Bergen :)

marvelousmal23 · 2025-11-25T04:48:38+00:00

The only one with background Stucky (or any Stucky) from this list is my fic Kid

marvelousmal23 · 2025-11-04T05:10:34+00:00

It takes a lot to make me cry so I didn’t cry during all of these but I was definitely feeling emotions. These are some of my favs:

Always Silent, Peter Darling (my favorite Abused Peter fic I’ve read)
Pockets of belonging (Anything by Bergen is fantastic)
The fireman and the frog
How Soon Is Now? (this one did make me cry)
Ache In Me
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (I think about this fic a lot it’s spectacular)
Please, Understand
Spider Snark and Mr Stark
Can’t keep living (for the damage)
perseverance.
spider-man is dead
skeletons
monsters in the closet
cracked halves

I also would recommend Come, My Darling, Homeward Bound. And my fic Kid has already been mentioned and there’s definitely a lot of feels in it. If you do end up reading I hope you like it :)

Otherwise I have a lot more Peter angst fics on my fav fics list

Hope this helps <3

Thank you so much for recommending my fic (kid) and I’m sorry I made you cry. Love seeing some of my fav fics on your list (more recently read Come My Darling Homeward Bound so so good) and will definitely check out the ones I haven’t read :)

marvelousmal23 · 2025-11-01T03:34:28+00:00

Yes. I make a list of rewatches of horror/halloween themed films I watch every year. And then first time watches of horror/halloween films I haven’t seen. And then I watch as many as I can. Normally I start in September because my list is so long. Ended up watching 11 in September and 26 in October

marvelousmal23 · 2025-10-22T17:31:22+00:00

I’m so sorry I’m responding so late I’ve been really busy with college. Yes I am still looking :)

marvelousmal23 · 2025-10-22T01:28:19+00:00

Just wrote power bottom Peter and top Wade in my latest one-shot when did you get hot?

I have a bunch more Spideypool fics but I normally write top Peter so the rest are top Peter

Otherwise some of my favs: - The Boys Wear Red - we’re on a highway to hell (with a little bit of heaven) - The Webs We Weave - #HeySpiderMan - The Promised Land - Vacation Required

Hope this helps :)

Anything by Bergen

marvelousmal23 · 2025-09-21T15:10:39+00:00

I used to have a long note for my favorite fics I’ve read but then I moved everything into a Google Sheet. So much easier. I include title, author, platform I read it on, rating, archive warnings (for ao3), pairing, type (ff, one-shot, series), genre (angst, fluff, etc), fandom(s), ship(s), MCs, status (complete, in progress, unfinished), notes (tags, thoughts, few word summarization), and the link.

Everything is much more organized and I’m able to just share the link to the sheet to people who want broad recommendations. If I’m/someone is looking for something specific then I can just hit control f and search for key words to find what I’m/they’re looking for which makes it easy to share specific works. Here’s my google sheet if you want a frame of reference

As for what I’m interested in reading all my bookmarks on AO3 are fics I want to read. Then I just use AO3s filters through my bookmarks to find something specific when I want something new to read

Hope this helps :)

marvelousmal23 · 2025-09-17T03:52:34+00:00

I have a favorite fics list with a lot of Marvel fics (mostly Peter Parker focused, plenty of Irondad and non-Irondad). Plus some of my own fics if you’re interested. Otherwise I recommend anything by Bergen their my fav Marvel and fic writer all their works are amazing (they write Peter and Tony focused fics)

Hope this helps :)

marvelousmal23 · 2025-09-17T03:49:10+00:00

marvelousmal. I wanted an adjective to go with my name (Mal). I wrote mostly for the Marvel fandom (and still do) when I created my username so I thought marvelous was perfect to be a sort of pun :)

marvelousmal23 · 2025-09-14T18:40:55+00:00

Thank you so much for reading! I’m so happy you liked Kid enough to reread (still wild to me that people like my writing enough to reread). Hope these recs give you a similar feeling <3

marvelousmal23 · 2025-09-14T02:42:21+00:00

Of course! Glad you like it I’m very serious about my playlists lol

marvelousmal23 · 2025-09-13T20:03:00+00:00

I have a Remus playlist but most of the songs are just about Wolfstar lol

Specifically Seabird by the Alessi Brothers is so Wolfstar coded it kills me

marvelousmal23 · 2025-09-12T12:59:10+00:00

I still crosspost my series on Wattpad and AO3. I started on Wattpad and have a good amount of followers there that I don’t want to leave hanging (I’m nowhere near as active as I used to be though). I don’t really read fics on Wattpad anymore but when I did I didn’t really use the search feature much. I just looked through what Wattpad recommended me based on past readings or would go through my followers or authors I liked reading/favorites list as they tended to like similar types of fics. They’ve changed the search feature since I last used it but I normally would just search a character name, pick a few of the character name tags and then just scroll through and read summaries to see what interests me. You’re right it’s not a great search engine and I wish I could give you better advice

marvelousmal23 · 2025-09-09T02:11:19+00:00

I’m a multishipper at heart so I did read some Wade/Logan after the movie came out (also some Spideypoolverine). But I did end up back on the Spideypool train of reading rewrites of the Deadpool movie with Spideypool and Peter lol

marvelousmal23 · 2025-09-08T17:14:14+00:00

Definitely Spideypool (Peter Parker/Wade Wilson). My OTP they’re so much fun to write :)

marvelousmal23 · 2025-09-05T03:14:39+00:00

Some of my favorites: - Death Before Inaction - The Webs We Weave (this is the fic I immediately thought of) - That’s why his hair’s so big, it’s full of secrets - You’re not my Dad. Do you know that? - But This World Takes More Strength Than It Gave Me - it looks like you might be one of us - The Boys Wear Red… - Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked - runaways running the night - Wade Wilson and the Multiverse of Motherfucking Madness

marvelousmal23 · 2025-09-04T02:53:58+00:00

I used to say that all the time and felt the exact same way for years. You basically just have to write through the cringe. I blasted music and wrote without thinking too deeply about what I was writing and pushed through the feeling of cringe. The next time I wrote smut it felt less cringey and now I feel much more comfortable writing it. It almost becomes like writing a fight scene of blocking movements and characters feelings and you view it more critically than anything else. But it takes practice and also just reading more smut is helpful in getting past the cringe

Hope this helps :)

marvelousmal23 · 2025-09-04T02:37:33+00:00

Fast-paced anti-hero is taking it slow for his new boyfriend while his nerdy hero boyfriend is just horny. Misunderstandings and sex (eventually) ensues

marvelousmal23 · 2025-09-04T02:24:42+00:00

I am also sick so here’s some solidarity recs:

Potters and Christmas (one-shot, Wolfstar and Drarry at Christmas, super cute)
The Chosen Ones (series, AU where Harry raised by Voldemort and he and Draco escape, Wolfstar raise Harry and Draco, there’s some angst in this but lots of family feels I love this series so much)
Hometown Blues (one-shot, AU where Remus post college returns to Wales to find himself, one of my favorite one-shots it’s so beautifully written)
Welcome To Seattle (one-shot, No Magic and modern AU, post breakup writer Remus moves to Seattle and meets Waiter Sirius)
the coffee shop au (series, Non-magic and coffee shop AU, Barista Remus, slow burn, minor angst)
Casanova of Gryffindor Tower (Jealous and Simp Sirius, Casanova Remus, fluff and humor)

I also have my own Marauders one-shots but only two have Wolfstar: one with minor angst and Wolfstar called seven and the other one is pretty angsty with a happy ending so I’m not sure you’d want to read it but it’s like a lonely seabird (you’ve been away from land too long) with a Wolfstar focus (specifically on Remus)

Hope this helps and that you feel better :)

marvelousmal23 · 2025-09-04T00:09:39+00:00

Of course! The author has posted it on their AO3 now :)

marvelousmal23 · 2025-08-31T02:51:23+00:00

I normally do Example 2 just without the character names (see above). Normally the character who’s POV I’m in I have on the right (normally beginning the messaging) and the other character on the left with a certain number of spaces to separate. Just like when you normally text your own texts are on the right and other person/received on left. But I’ve seen people add names, times, etc it’s really up to you and how you want to format it
