Title: When There's No Ground
Author: finkpishnets
Canon: Shadowhunters
Pairing: Raphael Santiago/Simon Lewis
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 2,780
Summary: “What do I do?” Simon asks, and Magnus nods like it’s the right question. “You can stop playing Shadowhunter and start being a vampire,” he says. “You can fix what you broke.”

Recommendation: Simon has to vampire up, and take care of things. It’s about damn time.

Title: A Phoenix in the Fire
Author: capsize
Canon: Shadowhunters
Pairing: Raphael Santiago/Simon Lewis
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 8,470
Summary: Five times Simon almost gets a clan member killed, and one time he doesn’t.

Recommendation: I’m not saying that Simon isn’t bad at being a vampire but quite a lot of this stuff could be chalked up to ignorance rather than malicious intent. He just need remedial vampire school ;).

Title: Baby's First Steps
Author: Luuna
Canon: Shadowhunters
Pairing: Raphael Santiago/Simon Lewis
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 4,877
Summary: Simon wasn’t flustered, he really wasn’t. And Raphael checking up on him all the time wasn’t a big deal. It wasn’t like he had a crush or something. It might have been true… if only Raphael stopped calling him baby.

Recommendation: I have to give this one props for acknowledging Raphael as asexual but not aromantic. I loved Simon being all flustered over being called baby ‘cause I’ve got to admit that even reading it knowing that at least in the beginning it was meant ‘baby vampire’ not a term of endearment it still kept throwing me.

Title: Amado
Author: The_Jade_Goblin
Canon: Shadowhunters
Pairing: Raphael Santiago/Simon Lewis
Rating: General [G]
Word Count: 3,046
Summary: Simon’s going to Alec’s wedding, but not without some fashion advice from Raphael. In return, Simon just has to tell Raphael everything about the wedding. Or; The one where Simon’s a cute nerd and Raphael loves him.

Recommendation: The obligatory Raphael dresses Simon for THE WEDDING story, with all the Spanish endearments and smooches that that entails.

Title: Your Left Hand Man
Author: finkpishnets
Canon: Shadowhunters
Pairing: Raphael Santiago/Simon Lewis
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 3,958
Summary: “Okay,” Simon says, shoving a shirt back into the overly ornate closet that takes up half his room, “this isn’t a nineties movie. There’s not going to be a shopping montage to indie rock chick music, and even though tiny backpacks are probably cool again, please don’t ever buy one.” Raphael looks at him like he’s a moron. “Do you even understand half the stuff that comes out of your mouth?”

Recommendation: I feel like everyone was just sitting back and not saying anything because they wanted to know how long it would take for Simon to finally twig. It takes an embarrassing amount of time and I really don’t think Simon listens to himself ‘cause he was totally giving the game away.

Title: I'll Go Wherever You Are (I'll Follow Behind)
Author: groundopenwide
Canon: Shadowhunters
Pairing: Raphael Santiago/Simon Lewis
Rating: Mature [R]
Word Count: 5,332
Summary: Simon. Raphael’s thoughts are almost delirious, soaked in desperation. We’ll be— “Bonded?” Simon offers him a wry smile. “I think it’s a bit too late to be worrying about that.” Post 1x13: Raphael goes missing. Simon is the one to find him.

Recommendation: No vampire pairing is complete without the “bonding” story.

Title: Siempre
Author: heartsdesire456
Canon: Shadowhunters
Pairing: Raphael Santiago/Simon Lewis
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 10,583
Summary: If Simon and Clary hadn’t gone to free Camille, and instead Simon had brought Raphael in on what they needed from Camille, things might have gone a lot differently between them.

Recommendation: Ah, look at all the trouble that can be saved by some open and honest communication. No betrayal, no banishment just cooperation, backstory and smooches.

Title: It Was Stolen (Or Exchanged)
Author: wolfiery
Canon: Shadowhunters
Pairing: Raphael Santiago/Simon Lewis
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 3,877
Summary: “Oh my god,” Simon baffles, sounding horrified as soon as he recognizes the song playing that’s echoing throughout the whole lounge. “Is this Mozart? Are you listening to Requiem Introitus?” Raphael feels the annoying start of goosebumps when the fledgling starts speaking to him, interrupting a perfectly quiet evening to enjoy reading. It seems he was wrong. “The Death Mass,” Simon explains with disbelief. “Even for an immortal, that’s incredibly morbid of you.”

Recommendation: Simon is like a nerdy ray of sunshine. Bowling, seriously Simon? He’s such an adorable dork, Raphael totally agrees with me.

Title: Five Times Simon Thought Raphael Was Insulting Him in Spanish (One Time Simon Realized He Wasn't)
Author: lizards
Canon: Shadowhunters
Pairing: Raphael Santiago/Simon Lewis
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 6,042
Summary: Raphael likes to lowkey compliment Simon, the only problem is that Simon highkey has no freaking clue what he’s saying.

Recommendation: So this is ridiculously cute, I’m really rather surprised it took so long for Simon to try to figure out what Raphael was saying but, alas, Simon is not the brightest crayon in the box. But seriously, Raphael pouring on the charm to impress the Lewis ladies is the best.

Title: Then You'll Wake Up
Author: finkpishnets
Canon: Shadowhunters
Pairing: Raphael Santiago/Simon Lewis
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 3,527
Summary: “How is the training going?” Clary asks, and Simon shrugs, resisting the urge to pull a face. “Well, Raphael hasn’t staked me yet, so that’s progress.”

Recommendation: Holy crap, the COFFEE! I feel Simon’s pain. That sucks, and not in the fun way. Raphael makes up for it though.

Title: The Claiming of Simon Lewis
Author: blu_eyed_demon
Canon: Shadowhunters
Pairing: Raphael Santiago/Simon Lewis
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 8,842
Summary: Simon goes to Raphael in the hope to make peace with him after the events of Season 1’s finale. It goes a whole lot better than he could ever have expected.

Recommendation: So I know that Malec is the pairing de jour for this fandom but I accidentally got sucked into Saphael (thanks Tumblr) so I’ll get to Malec later. This story has all the things one could want from vampire sexytimes, blood, biting etc. but these two seem to bring the adorable no matter what. Not that I’m complaining.

Title: Watching Lights Around Us Fill the Night
Author: pseudofoucault333
Canon: Shadowhunters
Pairing: Raphael Santiago/Simon Lewis
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 2,645
Summary: The night of their first anniversary together Simon wonders if Raphael even remembers, but the elder makes sure to surprise him.

Recommendation: Long, long ago I read Cassandra Clare’s Harry Potter slash fanfiction, and more than a decade later I still carry around pieces of her writing that grip my heart when I think of them. In the interim, she’s gone on to become a published author in her own right (congrats) and to have a tv show based on her work (kudos), and low, the Circle of Slash Life is completed and I’m reading a slash fanfiction based on her characters. So anyway, I’ve also arrived at the seventh year of my marriage, too bad we’re not vampires so this could go on indefinitely.
