Oh man, I think I'm the worst person to ask. I haven't read enough fics to make a reading guide... I've never been much of a fanfic reader for various reasons, one of which is that my attention span when reading on screen is disastrous. I usually end up sticking to either one-shots or physical books (mostly physical books) 🫠 It's something I feel a bit awkward about because it makes it harder to connect with the Drarry community, but I also don't want to force myself. I've still read a few that I loved; I'm just veeeeeery slow, haha.
For e.g, I really liked Beholden by Faithwood, A Pulled Down Shade by Fastbrother, Nice Things by Adeomai, Plotty's one-shots—they're very funny and well-written. I also loved Writesbymiiso's depressing stories, and A Hop, a Skip and a Jump by RockingRobin.
This year, I'd also like to read some "classics," like Always Childish Things and It Was All Just a Game (which I started but, for some reason, never finished lol)
Anyway, that's a bit disappointing, sorry :')
