Basic Info| Name: | Nomad's Multifandom Gen Recs |

| Description: | Gen recs in a wide range of fandoms. |
AboutThis is the new home of my fic recs, which used to be hosted on my website Nomad's Realm. I'm very multi-fandom, and I read and rec mostly all gen fic, although I'm not het or slash unfriendly. I do scavenge from other people's recs lists, but I'm also a big archive-trawler, and I rec stories regardless of whether they're new or first posted years ago. I label WIPs but otherwise don't give any content warnings.
Allergy Advice: Recs may contain death, darkness, unhappy endings, references to canon relationships, original characters, villains being redeemed, villains not being redeemed, het elements, slash elements, political elements, mathematical elements, bad jokes, and traces of nuts. Rarely all at the same time.

What I Like:
I like plot, and lots of it. My tastes skew towards longer stories, and I seldom read anything drabble-length. I generally prefer clean and simple prose to flowery language and verbose description. Accurate character voices are a big deal-breaker for me, and I love snappy banter and bickering. I tend to gravitate towards older characters and relationships with lots of history: I like adversaries who were once friends or have reluctantly become friends, and hardass parents who love but struggle to raise their kids. My favourite characters are usually competent, pragmatic, emotionally repressed and cranky. I like geeks of all flavours, arrogant geniuses, and stoics who put duty above all else. Snarky humour, hard-earned emotions from self-controlled characters, and grudging partnerships between antagonists are good ways to win my heart.What I Read:
