Friday Fic Recs: Multifandom

[kellifer]

I completely failed to read much this week. I've been packing for the most part... I keep seeing stories on my flist and going "Ohhh... I'd like to read that" but because I'm skimming I completely fail to bookmark/remember and are then crap.

I have a paltry two stories to offer today so tell me, what have you read this week/month that you've really enjoyed and I'll add it to the post. :)

And Back Again by oxoniensis, (GG, Rory/Dean) - I'm not sure why it took me so long to find her but I'm glad I did!! I can just devour these stories like cheesecake. They're sweet and intensley satisfying.

At The Hour When We Are Trembling by frostfire_17, (SGA/SG-1, Daniel/John). This is apoca!fic and plotty and long. It's just wonderful.

Clearly you're way more patient than me - I can't wait for shows to come to England!

A couple more recs in fandoms I'm certain you read, in that case. One older one, an AU, which is something I wouldn't normally read, but this one gripped me:
The Pegasus Device by liketheriverrun (SGA, Sheppard/McKay, Ronon, Carson, Teyla, etc, T, 41,000 words)

If you don't read Sam/Dean, sorry, just ignore this rec - I don't read a huge amount of gen fic in the fandom though, and most of what I have read has been yours!
American Myth by candle_beck (Supernatural, Dean/Sam, adult, 11,525 words)
This was just incredible - I thought the way Sam and Dean were with each other was spot on, and the main plot line, revolving around the Impala, was both unusual for the fandom and pretty much guaranteed to have every fan on the edge of their seat.

(BTW - I'm so pleased you enjoyed my little GG fic so much!)

Hahahaa... I don't usually but I hadn't really heard about Pushing Daisies so I didn't know to snag it from somewhere... what's it about and is it worth it making the gentle enquiries... :D

I'm hoping flattery will get me everywhere... bwahahaaa... mine is an evil laugh!

I *love* Pushing Daisies. It's sort of magical and timeless and beautiful and quirky, and so charming and funny and adorable...

Basically, Ned (the piemaker) has the power to bring the dead back to life, but only for one minute otherwise someone else will die in their place. If he touches them again, they die. He resurrects his childhood sweetheart, Chuck, to ask her who murdered her, only he can't bring himself to let her die again. So now she's alive, but they can't touch. Which sounds potentially awful, but is just handled so well!

And then there's Emerson Cod, the private detective, who Ned works with sometimes, solving murders (Ned is a piemaker full time) - Emerson likes knitting! And is incredibly snarky, especially towards Chuck. He basically makes sure the show is the right mix between sweet and funny.

And there's Olive, the waitress at the Piehole, and Digby, Ned's dog. And Chuck's aunts, a synchronized swimming team called the Darling Mermaid Darlings.

Do try this show! And if you don't know where to find it, email me, and I will send you in the right direction.

I'd like to believe I am above flattery. But I'm so not! *g*

It sounds ridiculously cracktastic! I will search about and if I cannot find a willing donor I will definitely give you a yell... :)
