Tropisms
While covering sporting events in Cascade, Casey and Dan run into Jim and Blair, respectively. Musical beds ensues.
Up until the very last quarter of this fic I was sure I was going to rec it. It's a quiet, well-written story, with lots of emotional angst and with two sets of partners miscommunicating up ( Read more... ) -
Bertie Wooster and the Force of Will by triedunture
Bertie Wooster and the Force of Will
When Aunt Agatha dies, she leaves a corker of a will, with a long series of codicils to ensure that everyone turns out exactly the way she always wanted them to. Then she adds that everyone has to agree to all the codicils or no one gets any money. Unsurprisingly, this causes a lot of conflict. And angst. Can ( Read more... ) -
WOS: O.O
The following author's note is from a fic that has been recced to me. Because of that rec I'll give the story a try, but I have to admit that I remember opening this story in the past and reading this note and giving up before I even got to the text of the fic, because this? Is ridiculous. Even with someone reccing the fic, I have a hard time ( Read more... ) -
Star Trek: Reboot - The Parody
Here's the thing: I wish I were reccing more Star Trek: Reboot fic. There's so much long, quite well-written fic in the fandom that normally I *would* be reccing more. Unfortunately, most of the stories I've read so far are so ridiculously over the top and OOC that I'd assume they were parodies, if they weren't so obviously meant to be taken ( Read more... ) -
Smoke on the Water by Mousme
Smoke on the Water
Michael Weston gets wind of a serial killer in Miami. The presence of the Winchester brothers implies that the killer is of the supernatural variety.
If you're following janes_recs , you've probably guessed that I've been working through my crossover folder; this is the latest of that bunch and, full disclosure, I only managed about a ( Read more... ) -
WOS: Beta Bashing
Recently found in a story that shall not be named:
Chapter 1(rewritten, because for some reason everyone is assuming that Sarah is going to be the DADA teacher for Hogwarts… which she ISN'T! and Plus, these chapters were redone by my coughgreatcough beta… kinda crappily…)
Wow. Just... wow. I'm not going to claim that every beta on earth is a ( Read more... ) -
A Tale of the Woman by snarky_panda
A Tale of the Woman
AKA the anti-Disney Mulan. Rather than try to write a summary, here's everything the author provided before the start of the story:
Summary: Alternate storyline based on another outcome that could have occurred because Mulan failed the matchmaker's test. Also sort of a crossover fic inspired by Raise the Red Lantern.
A/N: Part 1 ( Read more... ) -
From a Harry Potter fic summary
Found on a Harry Potter fic summary:
"Non-magic AU. Slash. Mpreg."
For some reason this totally cracked me up. (Then again, I'm traveling again and am running on five hours of sleep a night, so YMMV.) -
Queen of the Ban
Just a fair warning (albeit, a fair warning to folks who probably don't need it): I am done playing Miss Nice Moderator. There is only one rule at this comm and that is to be civil. Anyone who cannot follow that rule will be banned. No exceptions, no waiting, no warning. -
Introducing Long and Complete (on AO3)
If you're anything like me, browsing through Archive of Our Own can be a frustrating experience, especially in the big fandoms where dozens or even hundreds of stories are posted every week. Fortunately llamabitchyo has come to the rescue with Long and Complete (on AO3), which provides a weekly list of all new completed stories over 20,000 words. With fandom ( Read more... )
