One Monstrous Fanfic Rec: 1/3 (Anime/Manga, Cartoons, Comics, Games)
As everyone knows, I ran out of fanfiction a week ago or so.
So, with a bit of a suggestion from my roommate, I dedicated myself to creating a massive fanfic rec from my favorites from ff.net, my story alerts from ff.net., and various LJ and Whofic pieces I've bookmarked here and there.
This is the result. Be prepared to scroll and click a few links. I originally had this as one huge post, but I'd run out of space for new recs and decided to split it into three separate posts to make room.
Part 1: Anime/Manga, Cartoons, Comics, Games
Part 2: Books, Movies, TV
Part 3: Crossovers
Note: Most of the fics in this post have m/m pairings. However, all of the fandoms have at least one pairing-less fic except for Ouran High School Host Club, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (although one involves them as kids, so I dunno if it really counts as a "pairing"), and xxxHolic.
I've done my best to provide warnings for any major/substantial spoilers in the fics, but if you spot one that I might've missed, please don't hesitate to let me know.
So, let the rec list BEGIN.

The Gotham Vigilante's Guide to Christmas by klose
Summary: Bruce and Damian bond, Dick's far too selfless, and Alfred worries. So much fluff with a pinch of angst, because Dick. Of course, Bruce had needed separate convincing about that, too, since his idea of family bonding involved hunting down escaped Arkham inmates. In the end, Dick--with Alfred's help--had shut both Bruce and Damian in the TV room and forced them to watch cheesy Christmas films together. // Which was no help whatsoever now that he was indisposed in an abandoned building, with broken ribs, a punctured lung, and what appeared to be a fracture in his right arm. // ...

So, with a bit of a suggestion from my roommate, I dedicated myself to creating a massive fanfic rec from my favorites from ff.net, my story alerts from ff.net., and various LJ and Whofic pieces I've bookmarked here and there.
This is the result. Be prepared to scroll and click a few links. I originally had this as one huge post, but I'd run out of space for new recs and decided to split it into three separate posts to make room.
Part 1: Anime/Manga, Cartoons, Comics, Games
Part 2: Books, Movies, TV
Part 3: Crossovers
Note: Most of the fics in this post have m/m pairings. However, all of the fandoms have at least one pairing-less fic except for Ouran High School Host Club, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (although one involves them as kids, so I dunno if it really counts as a "pairing"), and xxxHolic.
I've done my best to provide warnings for any major/substantial spoilers in the fics, but if you spot one that I might've missed, please don't hesitate to let me know.
So, let the rec list BEGIN.

In the end, Dick--with Alfred's help--had shut both Bruce and Damian in the TV room and forced them to watch cheesy Christmas films together. // Which was no help whatsoever now that he was indisposed in an abandoned building, with broken ribs, a punctured lung, and what appeared to be a fracture in his right arm. // ...
