Unique Takes on Good Ideas
Out of thousands of fanfics and stories I've read, these here are a cut above the rest for me. These are all my personal favourites, so do whatever you want with these.
Currently, I'm combing through my bookmarks, so this will continuously be updated with new content.
If you have a recommendation, please send it! I'm open to a lot, just nothing excessively explicit.

Summary
Tommy was handed a small flyer in printed in black and white, with the words “POETRY NIGHT - OPEN MIC” splayed across the front in bubbled font. He fumbled with his binder as he took it, eyes wide as he said, “are you sure? I mean, I love poetry and all, but I don’t think-I’m not sure—what if I can’t write poetry?”
Mr. Sam’s dark eyes softened, and he reached out to place a hand on Tommy’s shoulder, squeezing it gently. “Everyone has to start somewhere; every poet, from me to Rudy Francisco, started off without knowing a clue about what we were doing. Tommy, it’s not about if you can or cannot write poetry, it’s about if you want to.”

The performance poetry AU in which Tommy joins a slam team and finds a home in the arts. -

Bookmarker's Notes
This was amazing to read, and I only wish there was more because this? This is what I am always looking for.
This is an amazing series of stories covering transitioning from both the child and parent view, mental health and it's degradation in isolation, world building and development in its purest form, and interpersonal relationships and how they make living better. I cannot express just how much I like this series, and how it made me genuinely flap my hands and cry while laughing from the way it created scenarios and interactions. Everyone feels genuine and real, like real people, and I cannot love that any more than I already do. Give this a read, even if you don't know Dr. STONE it still works, though the knowledge does help somewhat.
I cannot state this enough, but this is an amazing masterpiece, whose only flaws would be a bit of spell check for the words accidentally smushed together, but even that doesn't impact the reading expereince.

Summary
A series of drabbles/headcannons I have for Edward Elric told in the form of short oneshots. Each chapter is about another one of Ed's little quirks, they don't all apply to cannon but you can't help what you wish happened for real.
These stories are told in the point of view of the people around Ed, and sometimes Ed himself.

Bookmarker's Notes
By this point, Hanahaki, Sex Pollen, and A/B/O fics are a dime a dozen. The concept of "forced into a situation" due to love or lust is exceptionally common, and more often than not overused.
This is a genuinely unique take on it, where both participants have an ability to back out if they absolutely want to. It is stressful, it is fun, and above all else it is lovely to read. This is a fantastic slow burn looking at the outside interactions and developing romances beyond the curated forced love/lust scenarios.
I would reccomend to anyone willing to sit down and read a quarter of a million words.

Summary
After finding a torn comic in the trash when told to clean Dudley’s room, four year old Harry Potter puts it together with some odd things that have happened around him, and concludes that he’s the Avatar.
- Not a crossover so much as a fic in which Harry Potter is convinced that Avatar: The Last Airbender is a historical documentary.

I almost desperately want another installment of this book; it's just so oddly perfect in the way crack treated seriously can be.

Summary
He didn’t think it would matter if Midoriya were taking him to a sewer convention; it was probably still going to be the highlight of his Golden Week.
To avoid a visit from his unpleasant grandparents, Todoroki attends a hero convention with Midoriya and learns a few things along the way.
