*begs for recs*

Goddamnit I have a craving for Katekyo Hitman Reborn fic. But a specific kind of fic -- a fic that's about the Family aspect! I don't care who pairs off with who so long as there's that bond -- hell, they can and should!! have an orgy...

So I go to ffnet.

55% Hot Girl Is Tsuna's New Classmate/New Rival/New Family Member And Attracts The Attention of HotGuardians Who Fight Over Her Affections (with some xanxus and other such "hot" characters thrown in)
40% badly written yaoi, some of it really random
15% Varia fic
70% AUs (vampire, boys band, schoolfic -- THEY'RE ALREADY IN SCHOOL)
30% Tsuna Is Suddenly Hot And Badass/Tsuna Is The Perfect Uke/Tsuna Is Written Deliberately OOC And Everyone Wants Him
20% Fem!Tsuna.

*note, lots of these categories overlap. The fem!tsuna and mary-sue "who will have her!!", for one. And the OOC is everywhere.

And when it's not romance at all (gasp! those exist?!), it's usually utter crack.

Wauuuugh.

I don't care much for the Varia as a group, though Xanxus and Squalo can have interesting interaction with the Guardians. Squalo/Yamamoto can be fun but right now it's very much not what I want. Hibari romance is so rarely handled right I'm scared to look at it. Also I don't like Dino/Hibari or Dino/Tsuna. (Or Dino.) And most Yamamoto/Gokudera is completely centered on the two of them and sometimes you'll see a bit of Tsuna but rarely the rest of the Guardians...

... I just want mafia adventures and family bonds and Tsuna learning to become a real boss and manage his people. Preferaly reasonably IC. also it should be epic-long, complete, contain a fivesome or three, and bring me breakfast in bed.Does it even exist at all? T^T *shakes fist at [livejournal.com profile] metisket for awakening the craving*

Branchandroot's fic may have some of what you are interested in. This link will get you to all her KHR fic, but in an uncategorized list. There are links on the lefthand side of the page that will take you to connected story arcs and stuff.

I found Branch via her Angel Sanctuary fic a few years ago, and since then have taken to reading most of her stuff whether I know anything about the canon or not, because yeah, pretty. :-)

Entirely off topic, but I couldn't get to sleep last night. You know why? I was thinking about your zombie fic world. x_x I think my trying to tempt you has backfired.

But I'm trying to write original stuff! T_T

I really loved this 1827: Press on Me; We Are Restless Things (http://downjune.livejournal.com/39632.html) by [livejournal.com profile] downjune. She handles Hibari in a way that I actually really love, and I rarely love the way anyone handles Hibari lol.

And this one: The Sound of My Heart; It Startled Me (http://downjune.livejournal.com/33474.html)

And SO MUCH YES @ [livejournal.com profile] metisket. I woke up this morning with an alert in my inbox that she had updated and I was bouncing off the walls XD I've never loved genfic as much as when she writes it.

All of my Katekyo Hitman Reborn fanfic recs are here- I've enjoyed everything there, though it's mostly Varia-centric. Also, I definitely second all of Branch's fic!

Going off your Branchandroot rec I particularly suggest The Bond Between Land and Sea (http://www.branchandroot.net/archive/category/khr/generations/the-bond-between-the-land-and-sea/) which was sort of co-written with Lysapadin (there's a link back to They Also Serve at the top) since it sounds most like what you're looking for (ALL of her stuff is awesome though <3). Chronologically, Branch's fics happen first and then go Lysapadin's, I think.

Happy reading, Asuka! :)

If I knew anything at all about Katekyo Hitman Reborn and was someone who could just sit down and write I would make this for you (possibly even including the breakfast in bed) if only because this sounds like the kind of story I'd want to read myself.

I mean, very rarely do you get a good Naruto fic that's about them all being a team or just, you know, ninja and a generation that's probably the most well adjusted, which isn't saying much. Where are the friendship!fic, with training and banter and twelve-year-old antics where everyone is there and being adolesont ninja and there are NO PAIRINGS TO DISTRACT? Sorry, off topic.

This is not a fandom I am even remotely in, but I vaguely remember reading some things [livejournal.com profile] harukami did when she was in it because I read her stuff, and she's good enough that even though I can't remember the exact content I am confident in saying it would be readable and interesting.

Over on FFnet, one of the only ones I have found is by Sigyn-chi, the story is Raising Vongola Decimo sama series, which is primarily a "discover relationship in the future, back in the past trying to deal with it" series. It's a Hibari/Tsuna fic (very well done, everyone stays in character generally). It starts with Unexpected Revelation, then Unexpected Visit, Little One, Raising Vongola Decimo sama, and then RDV Sidetracks. The last two are still in progress and the author is still active, hope that helps.

This is the site I use for recs. It has Pairings You Hate, but also like two pagesworth of genfic, so it balances out. Not sure if there's much family proper in there, though.

... I did not need to share your craving. I somehow now do.

... Oh, well, more things to distract myself with!
