A NejiHina fanfiction recommendation listing
Annex 4 - Fanfiction, to my NejiHina fandom essay.
In a separate post because of character limit.
In you need tips on writing NejiHina, you can always check out my Personal Guide to Writing NejiHina.
Note: This is not a comprehensive list of NejiHina recommendation. Because NejiHina fans are impossible ;_; .
They can't seem to decide on how to label their fic (NejiHina, NejiHinata, Neji x Hinata, Hyugacest, Hyuugacest or plain no pairing labels argh), and can't seem to decide on a unified posting location (works on fanfiction.net are easier to find, but some only post in livejournal, and others post only part on ff.net and the other half on LJJ - ack).
So if I've missed any, please do the work for me and recommend for me! :D *bricked*
How to start? NejiHina has authors with various styles exploring the various possibilities. What one prefers ends up a matter of personal preference. For those new to the fandom, here are a handful of works to get you started:
- Rosemary For Remembrance (M) - by Sintari.
- Sight , Loss and The Days Passing By - by Hiasobi
- Learning How to Breathe and This is not a love story - by Sunfreak
- They never romanced - by Kaiyrah
- The Sun - by Moonsheen
- Historical Fiction - by Mariagoner
- A Distance Erased (M) - by Thursday-kat
- It Falls to Words - by Chevira Lowe
- Heroes are overrated - by Nidaba
- Finding the Sun (M) - by ThyLaSlain
- Upholding Traditions - by Runespoor
- An Answer by Sessy-sama
- Downward Spiral (M) - by AubreyWitch
- Intertwined - by Ju
- Hollow (M) - by Sharingank
- Solitary Bygone - by CelticDaemonWitch
I initially wanted to recommend a lot more, but upon tallying up the list, I realized that I had ended up with over 40 fics by 35 authors. At which point I had decided that you, oh dear reader, are perfectly capable of sifting through the rest of this recommendation list by yourself. :o
So rather than having to chose more myself, I'll let you do the work for me, oh dear readers, by asking you to leave your own top recommendations, as well as any other fiction you might recommend, in the comments area of this post! :D *gets bricked*
Without further ado...

In a separate post because of character limit.
In you need tips on writing NejiHina, you can always check out my Personal Guide to Writing NejiHina.
Note: This is not a comprehensive list of NejiHina recommendation. Because NejiHina fans are impossible ;_; .
They can't seem to decide on how to label their fic (NejiHina, NejiHinata, Neji x Hinata, Hyugacest, Hyuugacest or plain no pairing labels argh), and can't seem to decide on a unified posting location (works on fanfiction.net are easier to find, but some only post in livejournal, and others post only part on ff.net and the other half on LJJ - ack).
So if I've missed any, please do the work for me and recommend for me! :D *bricked*
How to start? NejiHina has authors with various styles exploring the various possibilities. What one prefers ends up a matter of personal preference. For those new to the fandom, here are a handful of works to get you started:
- Rosemary For Remembrance (M) - by Sintari.
- Sight , Loss and The Days Passing By - by Hiasobi
- Learning How to Breathe and This is not a love story - by Sunfreak
- They never romanced - by Kaiyrah
- The Sun - by Moonsheen
- Historical Fiction - by Mariagoner
- A Distance Erased (M) - by Thursday-kat
- It Falls to Words - by Chevira Lowe
- Heroes are overrated - by Nidaba
- Finding the Sun (M) - by ThyLaSlain
- Upholding Traditions - by Runespoor
- An Answer by Sessy-sama
- Downward Spiral (M) - by AubreyWitch
- Intertwined - by Ju
- Hollow (M) - by Sharingank
- Solitary Bygone - by CelticDaemonWitch
I initially wanted to recommend a lot more, but upon tallying up the list, I realized that I had ended up with over 40 fics by 35 authors. At which point I had decided that you, oh dear reader, are perfectly capable of sifting through the rest of this recommendation list by yourself. :o
So rather than having to chose more myself, I'll let you do the work for me, oh dear readers, by asking you to leave your own top recommendations, as well as any other fiction you might recommend, in the comments area of this post! :D *gets bricked*
Without further ado...
