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.

I love J2 AU fics. Some of my favorites are:

In from the Cold (http://ladyjanelly.livejournal.com/tag/homeless+jensen) by ladyjanelly. Jensen's homeless, Jared works in a shelter. I love the way she gets in both boys' heads.

Spin the light to gold (http://belyste.livejournal.com/28306.html) by belyste. The boys are volunteers @ a summercamp. This is my go-to fic if I need to be reminded of summer, it makes me happy.

The billionaire's bidding (http://raina-at.livejournal.com/283248.html) by raina_at. I love fics where the guys were friends growing up, then drifted apart and then get back together. This is my favorite of those.

apreludetoanend got me into SPN fandom, so I'll rec all of her spn fics. They're always wonderfully atmospheric and she has such a great style, her sentences always make me go 'wow'.
