I just found out about HDG in the last week and omg yeah the stories I found hit me in such the right way. I can't wait to read more stories, you linked yours so that's probably next on my list hehe
yea, they really do hit different!
and if you're looking for a good place to get started here are my personal recommended starter stories:
Nurture & Acquisitions by AsphodelVeil - again, expert pacing, amazing prose and attention to detail, Gale is working on a new resort world, as an office worker, whent he affini arrive, and she ends up helping bridge a lot of the cultural gaps between the affini and terrans, Very good for folks are looking for consent, early amazing fic that inspired a lot
https://archiveofourown.org/works/48096388/chapters/121278985
Wellness Check by me - its about an autistic ADHD shut in, who gets her door knocked by the affini and they help her work through her issues, while coaxing her out of her shell, very Dubcon
https://archiveofourown.org/works/41249283/chapters/103414935
Divaricated by annabool its about a rebel who ends up stranded with nothing but a single affini on a distant world, very enemies to full time D/s dynamic, introduces a lot of worldbuilding bits
https://archiveofourown.org/works/41618376
Abscission by Fluxom - its the second HDG story ever written, about Autumn a rebel with a lot of mental health issues, and the suicidally depressed affini who ends up helping her get back on her feet while trying and failing to develop feelings for her, amazing story! Fluxom has a way with words that's just amazing, and the rest of the setting was basically built on Abcission's back so very good to read early
https://archiveofourown.org/works/44917270/chapters/113017723
Inosculate by SapphicSounds - its about a rebel who's girlfriend is captured by the dasteredly affini, so she flies a fighter in to try and save her, gets captures, and then realizes her girlfriend was fine, technically a spin off of a throwaway line in Abscission, but works perfectly as a standalone, and the first HDG story I ever read!
Hehehe wow thanks. I'm reading Wellness Check right now, I'll check out the rest of those when I'm done! I got introduced by sheepwave's story, and the one that's got me crying was Cat and Mouse (still on progress but the doll got to me a lot) https://archiveofourown.org/works/53751202/chapters/136064980
Wow yeah I so very thank you for the recommendations! Read all of them but Divaricated (and also read a few others and aaaaa yes thank you thank you thank you for the recs. One of my gfs is also adoring Wellness Check rn, and it's only on ch2
aaaa, glad you like the reccs and my stories!
yea those are basically the stories that built the setting, so a very good place to start
I read all the recs! Thank you so much for guiding my hand to find these awesome stories and authors, I'm so excited to read even more
glad you liked them!
here are some more recs:
Human Domestication Guide by GlitchyRobo - the original! a rebel gets captured by the affini and broken into a cute pet, its good, please enjoy!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/45190954/chapters/113686849
Petals and Vines by EveningRespite - its about a rebel figuring out her gender, but also realizing she wants to be a pet. Its an early fic and really cute, and good and written by my girlfriend!
https://readonlymind.com/@EveningRespite/PetalsandVines/
No Gods, No Masters by Kanagen - this story takes all the worldbuilding and really digs into it, its a really good story, and has a few kink scenes thrown in as well, its just super well written
https://archiveofourown.org/works/44810131/chapters/112743301
Courtship by teagan_the_doll - an affini declares she'll domesticate a terran in 1 year, and then proceeds to court her with dates and flirts, slowly drawing her in, extremely well written heavily inspired by Nurture & Acquisitions, recommend a bunch!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/48043465/chapters/121139263
Dog of War by Mindcrank - story about a merc serving aboard a rebel ship betraying them to the affini in an attempt to remain independent, its the new hotness and dethroned Divaricated as the biggest HDG story, and its more on the horny end than erotica like more classic stories
https://archiveofourown.org/works/45445342/chapters/114341152
The Grand Folia Hotel by keysmasht - a woman gets sent to spy on an affini outpost pretending to be a floret by some rebels and runs into an old friend and an affini who takes a shine to her, really good
https://archiveofourown.org/works/44922817/chapters/113032015
Milk & Cookies by Fluxom (and me!) - a story about a group of coworkers trapped on a station when an alien attacks and lurks through the halls capturing them one by one, but also the facists start shooting at it and end up being a bigger danger, the twist is obvious if you look and see the story is an HDG story, still its actiony and cute and gay and good
https://archiveofourown.org/works/47046481/chapters/118525363
so yea, basically anything Kanagen and Fluxom touch is perfect, so read all of their stories! (and maybe mine too)
Hehehe I'm proud of myself for having read some of those recs already, because yeah I looked through both your and fluxom's catalogue, and yeah milk and cookies was augh so good, I've also read the OG because I figured that would be a good starting point, but thank you thank you thank you for the rest of the recs! I can't wait to dig into them! (Also hehe oops this reply chain is starting to look like a classic Tumblr post with a lot of reblogs)
Divaricated is currently melting me. They're so good for eachother. ;v;
