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.

Pretty much all the fics I have in my memories are fics I have/will be reading again more than once. To mention some I've read multiple times:
they put me in a cage full of lions; i learned to speak lion by amerella- Just a wonderful and beautifully fractured view of the world through wee!Dean's eyes.
Interesting Times by trollprincess - Funny in places, and really kicks a punch in others.
Vocabulary by innie_darling - Sam defining himself. This one always makes me smile.
Acoustic Shave by smilla02 - Set during Mystery Spot, and it really does break your heart.
In This Last of Meeting Places (We Grope Together and Avoid Speech) by apreludetoanend - Small Sam POV piece from AHBL Pt2.
On Duty by weesta - wee!Chesters at the beach, with John observing them. Excellent character insight, and it just makes me happy to get away from the angstfest from time to time.
We Could Be Heroes by missyjack - Sam and Dean as myths/urban legends.

...Scouring my memories, I just now discovered that one of the journals got deleted, and the stories aren't posted anywhere else *sadface*

I don't remember what it was in the Buffy fandom, since I read a few things here and there back when the show had only been on the air a couple of years.
In SPN, it was a story by apreludetoanend, though I don't know which one. I liked it so much, I promply read all of her stuff, so ;)

That's what I said underneath: one of the profiles got deleted. I've been looking around for another copy myself, but no luck so far *sadface*
