DW: Everyman by basingstoke (Jack Harkness/The Universe)
My other favorite Doctor Who fic which I must recommend here for completeness: Everyman by

DW: This House Is Not For Sale by centaurea_m (Rose/Ten-ish)
I never got around to recommending my two favorite Doctor Who stories -- I don't watch the show or participate in the fandom anymore, but I've always felt this journal was incomplete without them.
First up, This House Is Not For Sale by centaurea_m (not very many words). It's a what-if set after "The Impossible Planet" but before "The Satan Pit" -- what if ( Read more... ) -
THG: The Unrecorded Hours by hollycomb (Katniss/Peeta)
I found the ending of The Hunger Games trilogy to be rushed and unsatisfying -- I know I'm not alone in that. The Unrecorded Hours by hollycomb takes 24,000 words to give Katniss a better ending. It's a bit of a wandering ramble through the post-traumatic healing process back in District 12, taking one step back for every two steps forward, going to ( Read more... ) -
HP: Second Life by Lariope (Snape/Hermione)
I had forgotten how big the Snape/Hermione pairing is -- tons of authors, tons of archives, tons of fic fests. And tons of words!
Second Life by lariopefic clocks in at 240,642 words. The length is mainly because the plot closely follows the end of Book 6 and all of Book 7, but with one difference: it posits that before shit hit the fan in Book 6, ( Read more... ) -
LOTR: The Price of Freedom by Erin Lasgalen (Eowyn/Legolas)
Without actually knowing anything about the author, I think of Erin Lasgalen's The Price of Freedom (FF.net link) as an early fanfic effort showing huge amounts of potential. The story needs polishing and scrubbing for spelling, grammar and formatting, but what's there shows so much raw talent, so much no-holds-barred asskicking storytelling, that ( Read more... ) -
Narnia: Buried by Ivy Blossom (Edmund)
ivyblossom's Buried is actually the third story in a trilogy which posits a relationship between Edmund and Bacchus, but I read it without reading the former two, and it felt fine to me. It takes place in the ordinary world of England, during The Last Battle when Peter and Edmund search for the rings. Edmund's ambivalence toward Narnia and his own post- ( Read more... ) -
Narnia: Growing Up by sheldrake (Susan, Lucy)
sheldrake's Growing Up is a story for everyone who had issues with C.S. Lewis's treatment of Susan in The Last Battle. Susan and Lucy are sisters -- their wants and desires may be different, they may be strangers to each other in certain respects, but they still share that one common ground. This story understands this, in a way that Lewis's published ( Read more... ) -
Narnia: Memory of Heaven by corbeaun (Edmund, Lucy)
It's easy to forget that The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe takes place during World War II and the London Blitz. corbeaun's Memory of Heaven remembers. Neither of Edmund's worlds really exists independent of the other -- the one bleeds into and infects the other, and his actions and their consequences are not so easily shakeable simply because he is ( Read more... ) -
HP: The Chosen by allecto (Crabbe/Harry)
Yes, you read the pairing right. Vincent Crabbe/Harry Potter. Trust me. It works. Open up allecto's The Chosen, get over your initial shock about the concept, and keep readingThis isn't a story about a shock pairing. It's about Vincent Crabbe, and what it means to be a pureblood wizard, the son of a Death Eater, a Slytherin, and finally, what it ( Read more... )
