Fanfic
Some CMJF fanfics that I like! Definitely read the warnings and tags and stuff, a lot are explicit, and they're all at least a little fucked up. Click the drop down arrow to see more info!
Loser At Love by slapfool
- Rating: Explicit
- Word Count: 58,491
- Summary: Meet the most eligible bachelor from Plainsview, Long Island on this season of 'Love is Dynamite'. Maxwell Jacob Friedman is searching for love among a group of twenty beautiful women. Who will tame his bad boy heart? Who will receive...the final rose? That is - if the production can even make it to the end. Lead Producer 'Punk', overworked and stressed, has a big problem. MJF is not only an insufferable prick, he thinks all of this is bullshit and is just here as a publicity stunt to try and repair his public image. Punk is depending on this season to be a hit to save his job after an almost career-ending scandal. In a clash of staggering egos, they struggle over control of the show, digging up each other's skeletons, and seeing who's the real cynic when it comes to finding true love.
- Notes: Top ten fics that understand the way in which Punk is a bad person. Stayed up hella late reading this one and I'll do it again. Definitely mind the tags, it's pretty heavy at times, but incredibly gripping! Who would have thought a dating show au could be so fucking amazing.

- Summary: Max, the ever-so-explosive Head of Marketing at All Elite leaves his job after the company breaks into a scandal. The video of his argument with the president of the company gets leaked, dooming him into hiding. For the first time in his life, he goes to therapy and finds himself sitting across an older man with inked skin and tired eyes. It's here that some of the worst parts of himself start to dig their way through. Or, five times Max sees his therapist and the one time he really sees him.
- Notes: This is part one of a 2-part series where Punk is a therapist and Max is an office worker. It's so good and I absolutely adore how dysfunctional they are. But like, heavy on the dysfuntional and heavy on the psychiatric malpractice so, again, be warned.

- Summary: His computer quietly buzzes. Approve? Him and Caster met in a Human Resources Compliance Training program, funnily enough. He looks at his hands, flexing his sore wrists. The scar between his right index and middle finger runs deep.
- Notes: The second part to the one above! This one is even heavier on the dysfunction, if you can believe it. It also involves Max Caster, who I've not explained at all in this shrine (mainly cause I don't know him) but just don't worry about it. He's really obsessed with MJF, that's all you really need to know for this one. Mind the violence tag.

- Summary: cmjf-flavoured fight club au, but mostly focusing on the weird, fucked up relationship between our protagonists. in which punk is the narrator, and also tyler durden, and maxwell may also be tyler but is definitely marla singer
- Notes: Who would have thought that tumblr user fightclubgayporn would enjoy the Fight Club AU. This one's really really good, if you like Fight Club. Fight Club warnings apply.
hating you at yesterday by dogstigmatism
- Rating: Explicit
- Word Count: 28,873
- Summary: A curse sends Maxwell 20 years back in time. When he opens his eyes he sees someone with a shitty blond dye-job, deep eyebags and a penchant for being insufferable and pretentious. He knows very well who this is, the intolerable CM Punk, so he does what any other normal guy does and offers to give him life-changing head. Things do not go the way he intended.
- Notes: Guys. This is some freak shit. And it's not even all shit that I'm into but the concept is just so compelling that I can't not love it. But like yeah this is like crazy porn with also crazy time loop slash time travel shit so be extremely warned. Also, Piper is Max's cat.
