caia / izucaii’s fic recs
Welcome to the chronic worker’s fic recs page!
First things first, yes, I do read a lot. I love reading long fics that usually break 10-20k words, usually even 100k words. It’s a fantastic pastime, a Vibe. I am a sucker for long works, so, naturally, there will be a large range of word counts. Please do pay attention to the info cards beneath the titles and links in case certain word counts and genres aren’t your type!
This page will be updated sporadically as I go!
