Eight Days of Happiness: Alternate Universes

May 09, 2009 17:12

I love alternate universes. Good ones, that is. I just got finished trying to read an original fiction author's hideous, horrible attempt to write an AU of her own (published) work, and it made me appreciate fandom even more than I usually do ( Read more... )

Thank you. I had plans for doing *stuff* around the house this morning. Stuff ended up having to wait as the first story ate me up (Though I started with the remix) and then how could I resist going on to read baaaaaaby robots and the two sequels. Especially as there was Lorne! Heh.

I have bookmarked Merlin for dueing the week!

I just wanted to thank you beyond measure for your wonderful, wonderful recs of this story and The Soul and the Company Store Remix. You've made my heart swell with happiness, too. :D

Was going to recommend Stargazing by lovely lavvyan but some enterprising soul already did that. Well, that story is totally worth recommending twice.

About Teacup story. I'm beginning to think that I should stick to modern day AU only (and gen, too, says me, forever slasher, because I get bad goose bumps down my spine and my jaw hurts from grinding when I read how that master/servant relationship transfers into sexual situations - mind you, usually transfers, and God bless astolat for once again writing more or less bedroom equals in defiance to all fandom). So, modern day AUs. Why? paperclipbitch wrote Next Time, I Will Remember This And I Will Say 'No', and it is good. astolat wrote a dozen stories, and they are good, especially The Crown of the Summer Court. But. None of them give me that wonderful magical old days feeling that the show does. I know that the show is anachronistic as hell, and language there isn't exactly old English. But somehow I want that all from non-AU Merlin fic. It's sad, really. Am I justified in being whiny little edjit? The only consoling ( ... )

There is a Merlin hacker AU! At least I think it's a hacker AU. I only read a little of it and then I got distracted. Let me see if I can hunt it down.

Found it! http://little-giddy.livejournal.com/91931.html

Alas, it is not about hackers at all. I was deceived by the presence of computers in the beginning. Instead it is somehow based of The Incredible Hulk.
