A metric assload of fic recs

So I've put off posting a real fic rec post for so long, it's kind of piled up a LOT. And I haven't even gotten to read all of the [livejournal.com profile] apocalyptothon entries that have been posted yet, so there should be more of them coming.

A Life Eternal, by [livejournal.com profile] sadiekate (Veronica Mars, Duncan/Meg, [livejournal.com profile] apocalyptothon) -- It's Duncan and Meg and they're zombies. No, really. No, not metaphorically. (Okay, so maybe a little that way, too, but STILL.)

This Is How We Fall Apart, by [livejournal.com profile] rachel_shanz (Veronica Mars, Veronica/Lamb, [livejournal.com profile] apocalyptothon) -- Oh, man. One thing I like in post-apocalyptic stuff is when it comes down to two people, when it's just two people who never got along or couldn't be together or had some other horrible difficulty suddenly coming together because there's simply no one else left to turn to.

Existential Teenage Angst, by [livejournal.com profile] impertinence (Supernatural, Sam/Dean) -- Complete and total crack. Sam and Dean are left to their own devices when it starts raining cats and dogs. Like, literally. And then there's a crazed alligator and a blowjob. Just go with it, people.

Endless Night, by [livejournal.com profile] thisdistance (Supernatural, Sam/Dean) -- Sam and Dean pick up a hitchhiker, and things get weird and creepy and just generally wrong from there. It'll make you dizzy, and you'll love every minute of it.

Do Nothing For The Dead, by [livejournal.com profile] ladyjaida (Supernatural, Sam and Dean) -- Post-"Devil's Trap" fic that's sad and painful and it just hurts.

People Livin' In Competition, by [livejournal.com profile] ladyjaida (Supernatural, Sam/Dean) -- You know how Sam and Dean's prank wars escalate? Well, this is what happens when that slap of the ass in "Bugs" escalates. *snickers*

Coin Toss, by [livejournal.com profile] azewewish (CW RPS, Jeff/Jensen, Jensen/Jared) -- Oh, holy fuck. Let me warn you ahead of time. You might want to have booze handy for this, and make sure you're alone (or have someone handy you can totally use for cheap sex), and possibly be prepared for a cold shower afterwards.

This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms, by [livejournal.com profile] lyra_wing -- When something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Oh. OH. It's so dark, and there's an apocalypse, and ... and ... *flails and points*

Making Me Crawl In the Dust Again, by [livejournal.com profile] keepaofthecheez (Supernatural, Sam/Dean) -- Sam’s real motivation for leaving for college. And what motivation it is.

This is the Way the World Ends, by [livejournal.com profile] storydivagirl (Supernatural, Sam and Dean, [livejournal.com profile] apocalyptothon) -- Dean, Sam, and a nuclear holocaust. 'Nuff said.

The Only People For Me Are The Mad Ones, by [livejournal.com profile] ignipes (Supernatural, Sam and Dean) -- The demon is gone. The job is finished. And life goes on. It sure as hell ain't happily ever after, but it's close enough. A fabulous what-may-be scenario.

What Comes Around, by [livejournal.com profile] spastic_visions (Supernatural/Dark Angel, Sam and Alec) -- He should have left this city the minute he walked into Crash and saw the double of his brother. I've seen maybe fifteen minutes of one episode of DA, but I love what's done here with Alec and his connection with Sam.

Dean Slept Here, by [livejournal.com profile] profcricket (Supernatural, Sam/Dean, John/OFC) -- Sometimes the simplest things are the only anchors you’ve got. Dean knows this all too well. Oh, I love Dean in this story so much. Plus, big props for a wicked-cool OFC.

Nice Girls Finish Last, by [livejournal.com profile] rachel_shanz (Supernatural/Veronica Mars, Lilly/Sam/Dean) -- Does that threesome need any elaboration to get you interested? Honestly, Lilly would have had a field day with those two.

Feast For The Senses, by [livejournal.com profile] dannyblue (Supernatural, Sam and Dean) -- An AU in which Sam's been vamped. Oh, how I love the thought of Sam having been vamped. Now, we just need more stories where Dean was the one who got vamped. Or better yet, John. Ooooo.

Angels Losing Sleep, by [livejournal.com profile] sugardrop (Supernatural, Sam and Dean) -- Post-"Devil's Trap" fic that just breaks your heart and then jumps up and down on the pieces. I would pay cold hard cash to see more of this version of what happens after. It won't happen on the show, that's for damn sure, but OH, YES.

Temporary, by [livejournal.com profile] penknife (X-Men movieverse, Rogue) -- Five ways Rogue finds out nothing's permanent. As much as I dislike the way they handled Rogue in the movie (although not what she did, which I get), this is what I'm waiting for ... what comes after things change the way you know they will after the end of the movie. (This is the second post-X3 fic that's made me want to snatch up Bobby and run for the hills for him before something bad happens to him. Poor baby. *whimpers*)

Radio Silence, by [livejournal.com profile] knitmeapony (Firefly, River and Book, [livejournal.com profile] apocalyptothon) -- Twenty-seven loosely connected drabbles featuring River at the end of everything. River in fic can drive me up a wall sometimes, but I love her in this.

The Water's Fine, by [livejournal.com profile] elishavah (Supernatural, Dean/Andrea) -- Yay! There's not nearly enough het fic in SPN fandom for obvious reasons (Jess and Mary are dead, they haven't gotten a chance for Sam to go back and see Sarah, you can count the number of people who liked Cassie on one hand), but I really like the idea of Dean going back to see Andrea from "Dead in the Water", even it is for one smoking-hot afternoon fling.

Yamim Nora'im (Days of Awe), by [livejournal.com profile] marag (X-Men movieverse, OMC) -- The Rosh Hashana sermon of Rabbi Jacob Bloom of Congregation Beth Tikva. I love this like candy.

Betrayals and Resurrections, by [livejournal.com profile] c_elisa (X-Men movieverse, a little bit of everybody) -- Five things that didn't happen at the end of X3. I particularly loved the Magneto section. HEE.

Faultline, by [livejournal.com profile] monkeycrackmary (Supernatural, Dean, Sam, John, and Mary) -- An AU in which Dean is the younger brother. Sad and touching.

With This Ring, by [livejournal.com profile] babyofthegroup (CW RPS, Jared/Jensen) -- Weddingfic! Half of it is the thought of Jensen and Jared getting married, which you know would end up being a comedy of errors right there. But I would pay for tickets to watch Chris and Mayhem throw a bachelor party.

But I Never Could Sharpen No Blade, Quite the Way He Say, by [livejournal.com profile] onelittlesleep (Supernatural, Sam and Dean) -- Pre-series, Sam and Dean hit the road together. When you can finally see the road ahead, you'll just want to hug the both of them.

Fic recs left: 415 fic recs

And now, the plotbunnies are calling to me. *sigh*

eee! Reccage! *bounces* Oh man, that Lilly/Wincest fic. The crack I must have been on...

[identity profile] apocalypsos.livejournal.com 2006-06-14 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
But that was the GOOD crack! That story made it patently obvious that if Faith can't fuck both boys, then Lilly should.

Actually, now that I think about it, all four of them should go at it.

... oh, God, now I'll never get to sleep.

[identity profile] offtheceiling.livejournal.com 2006-06-14 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Ooooh, Lilly would so do Faith. They could use snark as foreplay. Ahem.

::bounces like Tigger:: Yay! Thank you :)

[identity profile] babyofthegroup.livejournal.com 2006-06-14 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, thanks for the rec!

I would pay for tickets to watch Chris and Mayhem throw a bachelor party

You and me both. And I'd bring the popcorn!
