fulmination recs
These aren't, properly, reading orders, and don't include all possible related reading. They're recommendations for threads, split by what sorts of moods we think they feel. See Fulmination Reading Orders for series plus dependencies.
Murder gfs (Ellie/ Fate) threads are all femslash first and foremost, and they're all centrally romances. The majority of threads contain S/M relationships, some contain D/S, and polyamory is decently common.
Power couple (Lily/ 2B) threads are mostly femslash, though some might be m/f. The vast majority are heavy D/S, with some light S/M. Polyamory is less common but still pretty common to some extent. Most power couple threads are also murder gfs threads.
Other pairings of note are the Eridani ships (Eridani/ Ridis, Eridani/ Fate, and Eridani/ Lily). These don't have ship names (or a lot of threads) yet, but are almost always going to be femslash, with a good bit of S/M and D/S.

Proper Murderkitty Representation
These are 'classic' murder gfs. They're generally the most light-hearted threads, with a focus on romance (and committing murder while flirting) than serious emotions, plot, or fixing anything (unless the thing that needs fixed is a paucity of sexy lesbian serial killers, they're all over that). Expect warnings throughout for serial killers, torture, and violence.
mixed with the lightning of slaughter
The one, the only, the original murder gfs thread. This is a massive thread (7,777 tags for thread proper) with complicated dependencies. The other things you need to read to get the full story add a bit over 18,000 tags. Luckily, it has an index.
This thread is best if you're after a really long yarn, the historic development of the ship, murder fun times, cool power use, a giant peal, big emotions, and a minimal focus on side characters.
subtitle: you had me at "let's burn down wizarding britain"
Harry Potter setting, except it's early in the Marauder's Era and voldemort is replaced with a sexy lesbian. Ellie/ Fate as central pairing, with some Fate/ Fate. Has femslash, polyamory, rival-mance, hot dark ladies, and both a world and romance plot.
Accidentally Rat-blob
These are various Fulmination sets who accidentally ended up less murder-y and more prosocial. Generally contain a lot of worldbuilding and plots outside of the romance.
subtitle: lay of leithian, or, why decima is no longer allowed to propose thread ideas while manic
This thread is good if you're into romance with a side of grand plot, timetravel, villains who're secretly more-or-less heroic, and plot twists. Ellie/ Fate as central pairing.
plan for noon and plan for night
Subcontinuity, set in Harry Potter Except It Makes Sense. Featuring Ellie as the Girl-Who-Lived, another Ellie as Fleur, and like three different Fates. The first seven threads are more or less in this blob, and the eighth thread is a Very Problematic epilogue.
This series features a lot of adorable magic lesbians, very long character/ relationship development arcs, worldbuilding fixes that don't totally overhaul the setting, and an actual full all-seven-books rewrite. (The eighth thread introduces polyamory and also is more or less porn.) Ellie/ Fate as central pairing.
