I've posted these recs elsewhere, but this seemed like a good place to crosspost them. :D
I haven't had a chance to read widely in this fandom yet, so if anyone has read these and knows of other awesome canon-universe fics with a similar feel, I'd love to hear about them.
01. Wear Sunscreen by Winterhill. Lio/Galo, 6.1k, rated M.
Cute friends-to-lovers postcanon fic with Galo teaching Lio to swim, and the two of them figuring out what they are to each other, with rebuilding going on in the background. I thought it was really sweet.
02. Sparks Dance Under Your Fingertips by TaurusVersant. Heris/Lucia, 8.3k, G-rated. Post-canon, guilt & recovery, and the beginning of a relationship.
The shipping in this is low-key and understated; it's at the beginning stages and more of a hint that whatever Lucia and Heris have built up might lead to more.
03. Without you is how I disappear by henriqua. Lio/Gueira/Meis, 6.2k, rated T. Post-canon, with some hurt/comfort, and understated pining that ends with the beginning of a relationship. *This fic is part of a series; more details at the link.
This was sweet. The way the author wrote the dynamic between the Mad Burnish trio was very comfortable and cozy. It's exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to find for them.
04. Light Up the Sky by Oripoke. Lio/Galo + ensemble, 81k, rated M. Postcanon, friends-to-lovers, action/adventure, worldbuilding.
This fic does a great job of keeping up the general feel of canon; by that I mean mechs and fire and stuff blowing up. Like, if there were a second film, a lot of the plot-related stuff in here would be things that I can see happening. Ori takes what we get with the worldbuilding and explores it a bit; there's a lot that the film doesn't show us, so it was cool to see someone play with that. Take a look at this one if you're familiar with the canon and are in the mood to sink your teeth into something nice and long!
05. Rising From the Ashes by runicmagitek. Lio/Galo, 2.1k, rated T. Postcanon, friends-to-lovers. A sequence of triple drabbles.
Bite-sized and sweet postcanon fic in which Galo tries to help Lio figure out how to live an ordinary life now that everything has changed for him.
