omg hiiii, i haven't had time to make proper recs even tho i said i would (because of a plethora of reasons, sorry... T_T), but i'd absolutely loveeee to recommend you some now! honestly i read most stuff in the maettael tag by default — if they're the main pairing at least, haha... hah — but there was a bunch of really fun mttl stuff from jebemonthly this round! as well as: spideytthew goodness (i REALLY recommend this one i think about it constantly), very sexy phone sex, this banger royalty au, this really good trans tael character study, everything vampytthew and this really amazing hallmark movie-esque fic. also this one where there's only one chapter out but i'm sooo intrigued. i'm probably forgetting some because there's been a lot of good stuff + stuff i need to get around to still as well uhuhuh i'm always sad about accidentally leaving stuff out. anyway i'll also link u to my latest fic rec here!!

ALSOOO maettaelfest have done two fanwork fridays so far in october and november where i think it's really worth going through the quotes!!

i hope that can help u for now! i think i'd actually really like to do something like a "25 maettael fics to end 2025" type of thing but we'll see if i get around to it... if ur looking for anything specific to satisfy your maettael yaoi craving i'd love to help u with more specific recommendations also!! ♡
