100 Things: Post #11: Fanfiction

arenee1999My love of fanfic began in the Buffy fandom and quickly spiraled out of control. XD I generally gage how fannish I am about a show/movie/book series by whether I want to read fic about it and if so, how much fic I read before I get bored with it.
By that definition the only thing I am truly fannish about at the moment is Harry Potter. While I am still reading fic in a few other fandoms, mostly for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
epic_recs, HP is the only one I currently am still at the stage where I HAVE TO READ EVERYTHING!!!! *g*
Over the years I have read fic in the following fandoms: Highlander, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Doctor Who, Blake's 7, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Harry Potter, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Tin Man (Sy Fy), Robing Hood (BBC), Sherlock Holmes (RDJ!Movieverse), Andromeda, Star Trek TOS, White Collar, Torchwood, The Beatles RPS, The Who RPS, RDJ/Jude Law RPS
I have even written a few fics. Most of them are now up on AO3 or can be found here under the 'my fic' tag or in my memories. I have written in Highlander (I don't suggest reading those), Blake's 7 (I actually like a few of those), 1 Star Trek Drabble (I wish I knew how to make this longer), 1 HP ficlet (which I actually like quite a bit), and 1 Sherlock Holmes/Iron Man crossover double-drabble (that is hilarious).
A few favorites (in multiple fandoms):
Survival of the Species by Romaine [Harry Potter, Harry/Draco, NC-17]
Draco approaches Harry on the 9 ¾ platform, after their sons have boarded the Hogwarts Express, and invites him over for tea. The discussion they have leads them on an adventure that neither could have expected. There be dragons! HPDH compliant.
Note: This is the fic that made me love Lucius. He's not even in it until the end, but something in those last few scenes made my heart melt. Oh, and despite the warnings on this one it does have a happy ending!
Kiss the Steel and Kiss of Shadows by esjay [Highlander, Duncan/Methos, NC-17]
"Nobody else dies because of me." Then someone did. And he might not be the last.
Note: There is so much angst in this, but it is a beautiful story.
Death Brings Clarity Series by JK Philips [BtVS, Buffy/Giles, R] (with optional NC-17 scene)
Post-“Gift” epic. Giles has a moment of clarity, but it’s too late. How he deals with Buffy’s death and how she comes back to him.
Note: One of the 'must reads' of the pairing.
Reflections by Van [Doctor Who, Two/Jamie, NC-17]
Charged with saving the universe, can the Doctor overcome his own darkness to defeat the Daleks? A Mirrorverse fic.
Note: Just choosing one of Van's fics was nearly impossible. I highly recommend any and all of his fics. He's written in multiple fandoms over the years, but the majority of them are probably DW.
The Price and Courts of Honor by Syn Ferguson [Star Trek: TOS, Kirk/Spock, NC-17]
A newcomer to the Enterprise awakens troubling feelings in both Kirk and Spock. Before they have a chance to resolve things, Kirk sends Spock on a difficult mission from which the Vulcan will not return unscathed.
Note: Go read it! No, seriously. Go. Read.
Ok. I think I'll stop there. As always my HP recs can be found here. There are quite a few pairings in there and not all of them are slash. I also have quite the collection of recs in my memories here. Those cover multiple fandoms. If you find something with a broken link, I may have a working link. A few links broke when GeoCities went down a few years ago and I haven't gone back to add the new links. And my recs atepic_recs can be found here.
I'm always willing to give recs in any fandom I read/have read in. :) My pairings list (for all fandoms) can be found here, If you've been thinking of reading something in one of those fandoms or need new recs, I'm always willing to give a list of my favorites or a list of places I go to read certain pairings/fandoms. ;)
