Fanworks
Fanworks are a core part of what keeps Rictor and Shatterstar fans engaged, as they often both disappear for comics from years at a time. Fanfiction in particular is quite popular and is the focus of this page. Because the popularity of these two as a romantic pairing started in the 90s, a time before fanfiction sites became consolidated, there are a number of works spread out across the internet about these two. below you'll find links to the Rictor/Shatterstar page on Archive of Our Own, Fanfiction dot net, and then a sortable table of archived fanfiction that floats around on the internet, some no longer accessible outside of archival means.
Can't find a fanfic that suits your taste? Try asking on the Rictor/Shatterstar kinkmeme and see if someone will write the idea! Entries can be anonymous.

Archival Fanfiction
This is a collection of ricstar fanfiction unable to be found on AO3 or FFN. Some works were posted to LiveJournal, personal websites, and a myriad of other places across the internet. This website does not directly host said fanfic, but merely acts as a "recommendation list" to places were these fics were originally hosted. Not all are optimized for mobile. Some phones allow for a "read mode" in your settings, which may help read-ability for some of these odl webpages. Old ratings are also not consistent and have been loosely translated to follow AO3's rating guidelines for ease. You can sort each column alphabetically by clicking on the table header.
If you've found something you want me to archive here, or you're an author and don't want your fic linked for whatever reason, send me an email at basilknell@gmail.com. Please let me know ASAP if something is broken/linked wrong/missing a part, etc. A big thank you to star-hopper for their help in compiling fics.

| intravenusann | Sur une route noire du désert | Explicit | One night in a Mexican compound turned hotel, Ric and Star share a bed, neither of them are sleeping. A bit angsty. |
| intravenusann | Never Let Me Go | Explicit | Written for the marvel_kink meme. For the prompt: "Rictor/Shatterstar Bondage Star isn't letting Rictor go this time." Quickly before it gets Joss'd by the issue coming out this week! |

| intravenusann | Reunion | Explicit | Written for the marvel_kink meme. For the prompt "Rictor/Shatterstar, ANYTHING." A smutty follow up to however they're going to stop Cortex and save Jamie and Layla from the future (assuming they do). |
| intravenusann | Swords and Earthquakes | Explicit | Mexico-era. Shatterstar works out. Rictor shows off. Violence and destruction should not be turn-ons, but this is them. Also, there's a sunrise. It's very romantic. |

| JBMcDragon | The Therapy Thing | Teen | Ric learns to cope. Shatty doesn't. |
| JBMcDragon | I'll Be There For You | Not Rated | A totally slash-less story about Ric and Shatty, back before they were friends. Fluff. |
| JBMcDragon | And the World Trembled | Mature | Not a pretty story about Rictor's time with the Right. PG-13, maybe R for child abuse. |
