I’d like to take a moment to point some attention and praise at my incredible fandom friends and the fic they’ve created this year so please read this thread if you’re looking for some great Turks writers. And if you see someone I missed who you think is awesome please share!
I will start with @mechewchew who I truly believe has been the beating heart of this fandom at least since I joined twitter. My favorite fic of hers is “their little devils”

Next up is @sherribon whose favorite fic of mine is “how rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist”. Even her smuttiest Tsengru manages to beautifully capture the love between them in the process and I love that

@OCCVII writes some of the most beautiful prose I’ve personally ever read and especially manages to capture the quiet and sometimes melancholy of Tsengru so beautifully. My favorite piece is “Lavish”

@LicoriceAllsor1 is (I believe) one of the most talented authors in the fandom with an incredible catalogue of fics under her belt. My personal favorite is “caged”, a story of how Tseng comes to join the Turks. The dialogue is maybe my favorite part

@turksontour wrote one of my fav fics I read this year, but I’ve already gone on about different class extensively so instead I’ll share another fic of hers I simply love. “Mangled guts pretending”. I’m especially fond of her proud but emotional Tseng

@duskynebula writes a lot of Reno/rude which I admittedly need to read more of but I really loved their fic “False Sunsets” because I love fics that explore Reno’s more emotional and thoughtful side https://archiveofourown.org/works/25418944
Also where would any of us be without @OwnedbyRShinra cursing our timeline with her posts? But I also love her fics and really enjoy her vampire au “a kiss of fate”

@OneBrainSel wrote a great Tseng/Elena piece but my favorite fic of hers is “Supernova” even though it hurts my heart

@MantaWords is another reno/rude author who has an excellent sense of voice in their fics. My favorite being a fun little au where reno is a witch

@procrastynol only has one Tsengru fic that I know of but it’s SO cute and I love it to pieces

@HardNoctLife has written quite a few great ff7 fics, my favorite being “terms of engagement” (bottom Tseng rights)

If I forgot anyone please add to this thread! I’m the absolute worst about remembering to bookmark fics I enjoy and as I said I haven’t read nearly enough reno/rude or reno/Rufus so I’m sure there’s even more!
