Finn Centric Recommendations
Finn Centric Recommendations (or Finn Recs: A Star Wars Collection) is a Archive of Our Own collection dedicated Star Wars collection predominantly focused on stories about Finn (FN-2187) from the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy (The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker) which began in 2015 and ended in 2019.
The Star Wars fanfiction subset is unsurprisingly bereft of literature that treats Finn like a fully dimensional human being, and doesn't reduce him solely to an object in a ship where their favorite character (typically Poe Dameron or Rey) is the real center of attention. This has only gotten worse since 2017. Fics will most likely taper off now that the trilogy has ended with Finn unrealized as a character, but I know there are Finn Stans out there writing the best fics for the character around, so I would urge you to please submit your works here for people to read and enjoy.
Recommendations were posted on the tumblr blog @hisnameisfinn before its deletion in 2018. Despite the deletion of the blog on tumblr, we still accept submissions that follow the guideline: Stories are focused on Finn (FN-2187), be they romantic or otherwise.

Summary
“You don’t need a designation now. You get to have a name,” Finn explains patiently to the five ex-Stormtroopers gathered in the cantina like they’re expecting a firing squad.
Poe sits in on Finn's first orientation meeting for a new batch of defected Stormtroopers and begins to realize that Finn might have grasped the concept of naming a little better than the rest of his peers.

“So,” continued the man conversationally, as if they were chatting in the street rather than breaking out of a dungeon, “why? Why are you helping me?”
“Because,” Finn said, slotting key number seventeen in the lock and giving the stupidly handsome man an earnest look, “it’s the right thing to do.”In which Poe is a prince of D'Qar, Finn is a knight of the First Order, and even though the ruthless Prince Ren is after them and they're trying to return Poe safely to his kingdom, they still find time to fall in love.
