Complete secret identity [1 2 3 ... 106 107 108] Sandboxes Alicorn, Nemo 2680 by Alicorn
Promise (a Bell from the setting of Visitor and sequels) goes to the "Cape" setting (canon is Worm) as run by Nemo. Serves as a reasonable introduction to Promise's standard backstory trajectory; settings are unfamiliar to one another and substantial explanation appears onscreen, so it's likely to be readable without prior exposure to either, but foreshadowing will make more sense with some knowledge of Worm. Particularly Good for plottiness. Recommended by Alicorn.
Complete in spite of a nail [1 2 3 ... 12 13 14] Sandboxes Alicorn, Kappa 332 by Alicorn
Slayer Bella is locked in an empty house with a vampire; it turns out unexpectedly well for her. You might need to know things about the Buffyverse to follow along. One of Kappa's only Really Truly Completed Threads No Kidding, and he says one of the most self-contained glowfic threads he's ever read or participated in. Recommended by Kappa.
Complete Pre-Jump Earth Literature [1 2 3 ... 11 12 13] Pixiethreads [emotionally intense teenagers] Aestrix, Kappa 319 by Kappa
Teenage Miles and Yvette study Shakespeare on Beta Colony. You probably need to know things about Nexus/Vorkosigan Saga to follow along. Kappa considers this thread some of his best work. Recommended by Kappa.
Complete picknicking [1 2 3 ... 33 34 35] Incandescence Chamomile Aestrix, Alicorn 856 by Alicorn
The first thread in Incandescence, abandoned. Very good introduction to His Dark Materials world. Involves a character new to the world encountering it for the first time, and most of the explanation happens on screen so the reader can also learn about the world. The HDM world isn’t seen too much in glowfic, but it does show up sometimes and often without explanation. Recommended by DanielH.
