I first discovered QAF in 2011 and it took me well over a year to absorb all the awesome fanfic - so I know you have many many great stories ahead of you. There are so many awesome stories but my personal favourites (one's I've read over and over) are:
** For the HEA that Season 5 never delivered I recommend "A Love That Will Never Grow Old" by bdeviled. ** For a role-reversal AU "Trying to Make Some Sense of it All" by Kachelofen. ** For an awesome parallel universe (that's what I call it when a story is canon up to a point and then branches off into AU) "Subject to Change" by Soundczech.
