Fic

[kellifer]

fleshflutter is having a lovely chick-flick moment over at her journal where people elect the story of theirs that most pleases them. Even if you're not a writer, it will probably be an awesome reading list when all's said and done. I'm planning on making my way through it on the weekend.

But that inspired me to wonder what stories of other people's please you? More specifically:

- What's your go-to story(s)? Those ones you have bookmarked/mem'd/have on a list somewhere and just can read over and over?

- What's that story(s) that hit you like a punch in the gut? Made you say, woah, didn't see that coming?

- What's that story that made you say, yeah, this writer just gets it - just sees the characters the way I do/wrote that story I wanted to/seemingly pried that right out of my head?

- What's that story(s) that first sucked you into a fandom/first story you read in a fandom?

I'll edit this post with my answers when I get home tonight so feel free to come on back. Also I have a loooong overdue long list of fic recs to post. That'll be another thing for tonight.

OMG, where do I even begin? And once I've begun how do I stop?

One story that holds a very special place in my heart is Occasions of Sin (http://hiyacynth.livejournal.com/186113.html) by hiyacynth. I love everything she writes but that one reintroduced me to Sam all over again and it's wonderful.

I can read Fistful of Rain (http://marinarusalka.livejournal.com/241002.html) by marinarusalka over and over and over again. It's one of, if not the, best '5 Things' fics I've ever read.

I adore Dust in the Wind (http://lyra-wing.livejournal.com/100679.html) by lyra_wing and consider it my own personal canon ending for Show.

And Car Parts (http://dotfic.livejournal.com/116615.html) by dotfic is just about as perfect as a crossover can get. It puts me into my happy place in no time flat.

I could seriously go on for ages. But I think this'll do it for now. ;-)
