          Breathing in Life // Dreamnotfound written by Winter_Wolf17 on Wattpad.
          25 parts, ~26000 words, 2h 11m
          No sexual material.
          I personally haven't seen five feet apart, but as I've understood from the comments, this story seems to take a lot of inspiration from that. If you have seen that, a lot of the medical stuff will likely make sense to you and if not, a quick Google search on the disease can catch you up. The plot has a nice flow, having a more mellow aura and picking up to a quicker pace part way through. I like that they've themed the story as almost a warning to live your life like it's your last day because there are some things you'll only ever get to do once. I also really appreciate that they've written alternate endings to complete the story as happy or tragedy. Of course, I liked the tragedy ending more as I'm a sucker for tragedy but also because the author did a really good job of bringing the story full circle. While there are a couple hilarious spelling errors (shacking instead of shaking on multiple occasions ), this story really holds it own and I recommend.
          Potential TW otherwise not mentioned: sickness, coughing, difficulty breathing, medical settings, surgery, coma, (major character death in one of the endings, but not in the other).

where'd all the time go written by heartsighss on Ao3 and Wattpad was added to S Class. This was beautifully written and has wonderfully portrayed characters. There were multiple scenes that were so reminiscent of the ccs and their personas that I had to remind myself that the events weren't real. The use of different writing styles in this story adds a creative way of showing parallels between what's written and the plot. The plot itself is very good, with moderate tension and clever pushes toward the final goal. Excellent imagery. Very few spelling or grammar errors. Overall, very fun read.
          Potential TW otherwise not mentioned: none.

Coming Undone written by purplesunsets on Ao3 (the copy posted to Wattpad is posted by a fan. If you can, please read on AO3, otherwise, there is an option for you here) was added to A Class. Mysterious and full of twists, this horror story does a great job of using expressive dialogue and intricate storytelling to show how easy it is to go from one foot in the ocean to ten feet below the waves. I found myself shocked by the outcomes, constantly questioning where it was going and what would come next. The gruesome plot is fairly concise without too much filler but all readers should mind the tags listed on Ao3 and trigger warnings below because there are many. The characterizations, while mostly inaccurate, are believable as characters and, particularly in the case of George and Sapnap, easy to picture them getting to that point under the circumstances. Few to no spelling or grammatical errors.
          Potential TW otherwise not listed: Stockholm syndrome, paranoia, death, violence, homophobia, blood and gore, major character death, suicide, hallucinations caused by sleep deprivation, eating disorder, murder, guns, medical procedures, drug usage, drug addictions, unhealthy coping mechanisms, self harm, manipulation, delusional parasitosis, entomophobia triggers.

Accelerate written by honkdaddyy and isntitcrazy on Ao3 and Wattpad was added to A Class. This story is entirely smut, so if you don't like that, go check out a different story. Furthermore, as the tags on Ao3 clearly state there is no plot, I'm going to disregard that particular category in the rating. And now, Accelerate is a strongly written story that I highly recommend. If you're at all interested in racing and similar themes, you'll likely enjoy it. Its strongest areas are its vivid story telling and brilliant imagery. As with most AUs and smut, the characters are very ooc, but still entertaining to read along with. There are few to no spelling errors.
          Potential TW otherwise not listed: cop chase, reckless driving
          

Begonias written by FlowingPastYourStuff (SleepyGurl) was added to C Class. The hanahaki disease trope is one I recommend every fan read at least once. It gives room for tons of tragedy and tension as the characters are battling this seemingly incurable disease. Begonias, while entertaining to read, only made C class for a few reasons. The plot got very jumbled in the middle as characters basically forgot about the main drive of the story and, for several chapters, it was easy to forget the story was supposed to be a DNF fanfic at all. Not the best scenario when you're trying to convince a reader that A is so in love with B they got sick. Furthermore, the characterization is very inconsistent. I almost feel like the characters from the beginning were replaced in the middle and again at the end. Though I really appreciate the push for femininity in men and having a character in this au be trans, it often came off as very OOC and almost Mary Sue in nature because of the inconsistencies. The grammar and spelling are average but not unreadable. Despite all of this,I thouroughly enjoyed reading and recommend to all.
          The author is very good at listing trigger warnings before they come and giving clear stops for when they've ended. Below is a summary.
          Potential TW otherwise not listed: panic attacks, blood, coughing blood, choking, vomit, self harm, relapsing, cutting, surreal torture (in a dream), gore, suicidal idealization/thoughts.

Passerine written by (thcscus) blujamas was added to S Class. I could understand within minutes of reading this masterpiece why so many people have been moved to honor this story with fanart, animatics, etc. Beautifully written, this story is full of plot twists that are expertly foreshadowed and yet still a complete surprise. The imagery and parallels created through scene and dialogue truly give this piece it's charm and the characters are all highly realistic, and entertaining to follow. Where some books struggle with having multiple point of views, Passerine uses it to it's advantage to create a tense story flow that follows the most interesting parts. There was no point in which I was bored and waiting for it to switch. The author has also done an amazing job with writing parallels between their story and the Dream SMP which gives tons of little easter eggs to look out for when reading. Overall, I don't think anything could make this story better and I intend to reread it many times over. The last point I'd like to touch on is, if you've heard about this story through Sadist's animation and don't want to read it because you've already seen the spoiler, that isn't even the biggest event in the story. Her animatic doesn't really go into anything past the first few chapters. Even for fans that don't follow Techno, Wilbur, Philza, and Tommy (I'm included in this), there is still a lot to gain for reading and I would still recommend you give it a try.
          Potential TW otherwise not listed include: blood and gore, scenes or minor and intense violence, major character death, puking, panic attacks, depictions of death, violence, war themes, derealization, and manipulation.

Into The Shifting Sea written by holdingontolou on Wattpad and Ao3 was added to S Class. I have never been more enthralled by a plot before. If you thought ff1970 was tragic, you have yet to be enlightened. This story from beginning to end is beautifully written, on par with Heat Waves in imagery and characterization. It honestly frustrates me that this story does not have more attention. I love that the author has separated chapters into before, in-between, and during as it really portrays the reality of how sudden something like the events in this story can uproot entire lives. I don't typically cry at stories (occasionally I'll tear up, but it takes effort), but by the end of this book, I was balling and couldn't stop for 20 minutes. Very few spelling or grammatical errors. I will recommend this story to anyone that will listen. Avoid TWs for spoilers.
          Potential TW otherwise not mentioned: medical scenes, vomiting, headaches, violence and/or aggression, major character death.

rooftops - dnf written by honk-may was added to A Class. This story earned it's rank mostly though it's plot flow. From the excellent pacing of events to the placement of foreshadowing, rooftops creates a dynamic flow that intrigues the reader from beginning to end. I personally love the quirky use of chapter length near the end to further develop the plot and create interesting parallels. This is a great story for people that struggle with waiting the entire book for the main characters to get together. It gets right into the fluffy bits and brings the plot along with it. I enjoyed the tension that the plot brought to fluffy bits; the overall sense to 'make this count because it might not last'. It has an overarching theme of confronting mistakes and forgiving others and one's self. I don't find the characterization to be very accurate and the pov switches can get confusing at times, but the characters are still relatable and easy to follow. Not many grammatical errors, some spelling errors. I believe the author is from Britain which may cause some of the things I found to be errors to actually just be a difference in styles.
          TWs are mentioned before chapters, but to summarize: panic attacks, drug and alcohol use, couple cases of vomiting,  depression which results in eating disorders and suicidal thoughts/attempts.

Chasing Snowflakes written by passmethemolly was added to A Class. This story is full of emotional battles that leave you begging for the next scene. I really appreciated the realistic and sassy dialogue throughout and love that the author showed how difficult it is to just talk about things sometimes. The characters are a bit off to inspiration, but still amazing to follow along with. Few grammar errors throughout. The overarching theme of coming to terms with how you feel/believe, even when you've been taught otherwise, and accepting others' struggles really tied the plot together and left with a beautiful conclusion. 
          Potential TW otherwise not listed: pretty intense internalized homophobia.
          *I'd ignore the comments section if you're triggered by those listed as Wattpad in particular tends to have younger and consequently more ignorant readers that can post on any paragraph and the overwhelming amount of hate towards characters at times can be a lot.

Seven Minutes in Heaven, But it's Seven Days in Florida (DNF) written by Ship_On_The_Sea  was added to B Class. Other than the overarching prompt, there isn't much plot. It's mostly fluff that results in some tense scenes before the confession, but stays pretty light hearted. I think the author could have built up the confession better and created more tension than what happens in the story, even if just by a cliche, over dramatic running to the airplane and not letting them leave until they know, which is part of the reason this story didn't make A class. It's fine now, but the story drops off a bit after the confession and was harder to get through (Though this may just be me and my addiction to angst). Rereading some of the comments, many people don't remember what the story is about and that's typically what you want to avoid. The characterization is realistic to inspiration in some areas and not in others, though always imaginable as a person. Several grammatical errors or misuse of words, but nothing unbearable. Overall, it's still a good read with interesting character arcs and plot base. It's worth the first read through without a doubt, however some commenters' claims of rereading upwards of four times seems excessive unless you just really like fluff.
