antifragile is a little blog i post to every once in a while to share fanfic recommendations. i haven't updated it in a while because i haven't been reading fic, but i recently read a lot in one go, and i figured this sort of thing was perfect for leaflet.

please do not be worried and/or horrified at my freak taste in fanfiction i promise i am normal PLEASE believe me when i say that

one foot out the door (before we even start), 2mad4plaid, AO3 (locked).

oh man, this is such an excellent piece on roy harper. as the author puts it, it's a study in the form of smut, and this angle has never been truer to a character before until this was posted. the emotional pain seeping through in each section is too good.

through the noise and static and the call - shipyrds - Birds of Prey (Comics) [Archive of Our Own]

through the noise and static and the call, shipyrds, AO3.

SOOO HOT. ugh as one of the tags says, there is truly something inherently erotic about having a handler as we see in the comic and in this fic. the action and subsequent characterization of the two women here in the fic is amazing.

UGH so basically i've been hooked on jay/jon/nia since i read secret six (2025) and though there is a startling lack of fics featuring the three together in some way, this is not one of them, even if it mainly focuses on jay (and partially his relationship with jon). i brushed jay off as a bland nothing-burger of a character during jon's superman run, but in the years since, he's really grown into his own character, and this author absolutely understands that and him very well.

do you wish that you loved me ? - croc_crocuta - Stray Kids (Band) [Archive of Our Own]

do you wish that you loved me ?, croc_crocuta, AO3.

man i don't even GO here halfway (the SKZ side) and i still enjoyed this. i may only be here for chaewon but the dynamic between these two on display here was so fleshed out in so few words. amazing stuff.

weight of desire - Chapter 1 - habbangz (urocy0n) - NMIXX (Band) [Archive of Our Own]

weight of desire, habbanz (urocy0n), AO3.

sorry i'm a sucker and also a sicko for age gap relationships and this made me feel insane all throughout. this writer truly GETS lily so well.

made it weird, made it worse - 공일즈 (confetties) - ITZY (Band) [Archive of Our Own]

made it weird, made it worse, 공일즈 (confetties), AO3.

ending off on a high note with unabashed lesbian smut. as i said previously, i <3 gay age gaps and i am no different with this fic. yves' characterization is perfect here and i love bratty, know-what-she-wants chaeryeong here.

sorry for all that atproto friends do you still love me.

also YES I KNOW I ONLY LINKED TO AO3 STUFF HERE WHEN I'M THE WEBSITE WOMAN WITH HER OWN SITE. I PROMISE NEXT TIME I'LL SHARE FROM MY OWN SITE I AM STARTLINGLY BEHIND ON WHAT MY FRIENDS HAVE WRITTEN LMFAO 😭
