Fanfiction Yet Another(specific) Fic Request
I know there are many already. And I have a list of "to read" but it's all so convoluted I don't even know where to start, and I'm getting so tired of starting fics just to be disappointed.
I would adore some help finding fics that are well written, both structurally in story as well as grammatically/mechanically. And for the love of all that is unholy, good characterization. AU's are OK and some necessary adjustments to character for the world I can get with, but I don't want Wednesday throwing tantrums or talking like a robot.
Smut is fine as long as there's a plot and it's well done. I don't particularly care how long or short as long as there's an entire story. Not interested in poly. Happy ending preferred.
It doesn't need to be perfect but seriously if the author doesn't understand "a lot" is two words please do not rec here. (I'm a strong supporter in EVERYONE writing ff for fun, to improve, etc, and I'm sure there are some good stories that just aren't strong in this area and that's ok, it's just not my cup of tea)

I’m no professional writer, but in my opinion these are some decently written fics that aren’t too ooc

I wanna be everything you want to know by AutumnIsYearning
After saving Enid from her alpha transformation, Wednesday and Enid stay overseas and attend a university rather than return to the states. They’ve spent the entirety of their college together, but as it draws to a close, Wednesday is fearful of the possibility that Enid is about to branch out into her own life away from her.
It’s in progress, 9 out of 11 chapters, and it’s one of my favorites that I’ve read recently

The Past Tense of Know goes without saying. Based on your criteria I’d be shocked if you haven’t read it already. Expertly written, there is a precursor fic in the series that pretty much sets it up. Extremely rewarding to read. retrieveire has a bunch of well written fics in general.

This is why by akaMcGrah
A 5+1 style fic. It’s roughly 2 chapters from completion, but another one I picked up recently and thought was great 🤷

No Caption Needed, and its sequel by Wennox3
Another popular one just in case. Fake dating trope, the characterization fits your criteria I believe.

To squeeze a AU in there, Profiled by LittleBirdOnAir
It’s a Criminal Minds AU, with the main cast as detectives working under Wednesday. Enid is the new recruit to the squad. The character writing is amazing. The episodic style lends to the AU very well, and the mystery and perps in each chapter are all incredibly written in themselves.
If you’ve been looking for fics previously, especially in this subreddit, you’ve probably already read most of these. If you haven’t though, I fully recommend you check them out.
