Fanfic Recs / SPY×FAMILY

Proof that the remaining 10% is worth getting stress-induced stomachaches for.

These are recommendations made by Tropers for Spy X Family fanfics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found here.

You can also add to the current recommendations if you want. Refrain from posting Conversation in the Main Page though; that goes in the discussion page. No-name recommendations will be zapped. Nobody would back up the rec. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business.

Cascade by On_The_Fr1tz

• Recommended by stillalive
• Status: Complete
• Synopsis: An explosion at a fertilizer plant in Ostania was, for a day, the biggest news story in the nation. It left a particular impact on young Anya Forger, whose mental health is sent on a downward spiral after the fact. She's not acting right, in fact she seems to be an entirely different person. Her behavior is unacceptable and her emotions are on the fritz. The Forgers enlist a therapist to try and help their daughter, wondering if Anya's in the midst of a temper tantrum or a genuine depressive episode... All while Anya grapples with her own feelings, unable to truly express what has turned her into this.
• Comments: An extremely well-written, impeccably paced and absolutely harrowing look at the mental and moral weight of Anya's Telepathy, especially in light of her life experiences. Can get incredibly psychologically heavy, but has a hint of hope at the end.

Détente by Word_Devourer

• Recommended by jjs42
• Status: Ongoing
• Synopsis: If the threat of war is what keeps her father away, Anya will find a way to eliminate it.
• Pairing(s): Damian Desmond/Anya Forger, Becky Blackbell & Anya Forger
• Comments: I considered putting this in the shipping category, since a major part of the plot is Anya fake-dating Damian, but the primary focus is on Anya's efforts to gather intel to prevent war. I made a trope page for this because I enjoyed it so much.
