Sorry for the long delay in recs. When delicious changed ownership it lost the blog posting feature that I relied on. I recently discovered how to have my pinboard bookmarks post to my dreamwidth account and this is my first use of the tool. (Formatting may be weird)

Avengers (Thor/Iron Man/Captain America)

walktheboat: Run for the Light

(recs-Merlin,f4,Length:200k-300k,Pairing:Merlin/Arthur,has:Pairing,has:Length)

(PairingType:General,f4,Trope:Crossover,recs-BuffyTheVampireSlayer,recs-DCU,author-musesfool)

I'm using the cut tag because I have a month's worth of recs and I didn't want to kill anyone's bandwidth. :) I'm also about a month behind on updating the Ebook Library. But I think I needed the break. School for the semester is almost over but I'm going to take 2 classes in a 5 week period for Summer I so I'm not sure how that'll go in terms of time required? I suspect updates may be few and far between until summer is over.

( Recs behind the cut! )

Inception

The Man Who Had Only Dreams by gemnoire (Pairing:Arthur/Eames) INSTANT REC!!! I loved the build up in the story and the character voices for Arthur and Eames was spot on. The author did a great job of showing the passage of time and building a backstory.

This is about a months worth of recs...I think this may be my only rec post for the month of February and second post of the month. I think school is keeping me far too busy. That and re-watching all of Farscape...I'd forgotten how awesome this series was and I'm having a tough time finding good fan fiction in the Farscape fandom.

Fullmetal Alchemist

Sex Ed Teacher by skydark - The Adventures of Roy Mustang (Pairing:Ed/Roy) INSTANT REC!!! I had a blast reading this story. I don't think I've laughed this much from the antics of the characters in forever. I highly recommend reading the sequel, Better Living Through Alchemy and the 3rd story in the series is a WIP so read that one at your own risk. Basically, this was an all around fun story to read and I loved the character voices.


Window Dressing by thehoyden (Pairing:Ed/Roy) This was short but I loved the Roy's character voice and Ed's was spot on. :)


You and Your Fuck Awful Timing by lightgetsin (Pairing:Ed/Roy) I loved the character voices and the progressions in the story. :)


DCU

Ties That Bind by thehoyden (Pairing:Bruce/Dick Tim/Kon) This was hot and funny. :)


Stargate Atlantis

Character Witness by mad_maudlin I LOVED the premise and the character voices. This was short but said a lot.


Merlin

These Castle Walls Bleed Lies by marguerite_26 (merlin/arthur) INSTANT REC!!! I loved the character voices, the plot, and I loved the ending.


Doctor Who

The Swan Princess by Mad_Maudlin (Pairing:Amy/Rory) I loved this fusion and the character voices were spot on and Rory was so awesome. :)


Harry Potter

In Loco Parentis by Dolores_Crane (Pairing:Hermione/Harry Harry/Snape) INSTANT REC!!! This wasn't like any Harry Potter fic I've read in ages. It's probably because it's told from Hermione's pov but it also it touches on some much deeper issues and I could not stop reading once I started. I'll also add that one part made me cry.


Inception

Rough Trade by whiskyrunner (Pairing:Arthur/Eames) It starts off with hot sex and just gets better. :)


Supernatural

One Brick at a Time by nutkin (Sam/Dean Sam/OFC) This was very hot. I loved the build up and the ending really worked for me.


Worship Not These False Idols by killabeez (Sam/Ruby) I loved Sam's pov and the sex was hot.


Some (Don't) Like It Hot by strangeandcharm (Pairing:Castiel/Dean Pairing:Castiel/Sam) I loved the concept and this was hot. :)


Farscape Vid Rec

Deep by rhoboat (vid:recs:farscape) This vid hit all my buttons and I loved how twisted it was.

The stories below are listed in no particular order or fandom preference. This year it was again difficult to narrow down my absolute favorites.

Star Trek Reboot, Supernatural, Stargate Atlantis, Merlin, Inception, Vid Recs

Stargate Atlantis

Unnatural Selection by auburn (Sheppard/McKay) INSTANT REC!!! If you love science fiction and action/adventure and a good mystery this is the story for you. I was hooked from page one and could not stop reading until I'd finished the story. I loved all the twists and turns this story took and how the characters are slightly different but still themselves. Seriously at this point you should already be at the story, not reading my post.


Dragonlord by Icarus (Sheppard/McKay) INSTANT REC!!! I loved the concept and the writing was engaging.


Inception

But the House is Haunted and the Ride Gets Rough by dreamlittleyo (Pairing:Arthur/Cobb) This hit my kinks rather hard and I loved it.


Supernatural

Praise The Lord (And Pass The Ammunition) by nekomitsu (Pairing:Castiel/Dean) INSTANT REC!!! I had so much fun reading this story. I loved the humor, the way Dean learned to navigate his new situation, and how he came to realize how much he loved Castiel.


Quartering The Odds by eighth_horizon (Sam/Dean) This is an AU of the Turn of the Wheel series and though it was short she packed a whole bunch of good stuff in this story. But I think I was pretty much sold at Hooker!Wingfic! and then Sam and Dean being themselves. :)


Merlin

I Keep Going Over the World We Knew (Over and Over) by Mellacita (merlin/arthur) I loved the concept of reincarnation and how Merlin and Arthur found each other again.


What We Have (and What We Have Left) by morcalivan I had a blast reading this story. It was sweet and Merlin's voice sounded spot on. I loved the premise of Merlin going to Camelot to kill Arthur and ends up shagging him instead. It was hot. :)


Doctor Who

Vita Longa by sam_storyteller (Pairing:Amy/Eleven Pairing:Rory/Eleven) I adored Rory's pov in this story.


Star Trek Original

Personal Effects by jesmihr (kirk/spock) This story made me laugh and I loved the concept of an android made for Spock. :)
