Introductory Rec Thread!

[sparrow_lately]

Hello, anybody maybe reading this! Here's just a thread to rec any/all Jesse (or general) fics you've read and liked before! Since we are starting out here with a seven year old fandom...

I'll start!
Cumbres Toltec by laliquey, which is a lovely and super upsetting fic about Jesse making Big Plans post-season two.

That Jesse Pinkman essay is a classic. I still refer people to it all the time.

And yes, both of those stories are great. I would also add Contrails from warriorpoet.

These fics are some of my favorites in the fandom. I'll chip in a few fanmix recs, because that's where I'm at these days:

i hear that pinkman kid got away by littlemoretouchme on 8tracks: a really lovely upbeatish post-felina mix for Jesse (I highly recommend both this user's other Breaking Bad mixes)

arigrayson has three very excellent Jesse-themed fanmixes, as different as can be: i chanced one dream for Jesse and Andrea, everything's fine for S5b Jesse devastation, and the disturbingly aptly named pet for Jesse and Todd.

And for a more cheerful, quirky option: panatheist's Jesse & Saul mix, old yeller (again, protip: check out their other BrBa playlists! well worth a listen).

.....essentially, I've been making myself at home in 8tracks Jesse Pinkman tag for a few months.

Yeah, not one for fanmixes. I think I've read pretty much everything of worth in the fandom, though, and my recs are a pretty small list. I do some writing myself.

Feel free to (re)post or link anything you're written here! :)

Also: from tumblr user lospollospinkmanos, this horrifying little gem, an awful exploration of the question "but what if they HAD killed jesse off early, as originally intended?"
