Road Trip!! - rec me, PLEASE!

[skoosiepants]

Dear Flist:

The problem is that I'm an impatient reader. I can't find a fic and then SAVE it, but I'm going to try really, really hard this time. So - I'm road-tripping to Atlanta with my parents (yes, I'm almost 30 and still go on road trips with my parents *g*) to visit my brother next friday (I'm actually thankful we're on stargate hiatus right now or I would've freaked out over missing new eps) and the trip is THIRTEEN HOURS! And then there's another thirteen hours back to deal with, too. And pretty much all my family ever does in the car is read and sleep.

Thus, I need stories to read, since I won't have a computer or internet access for most of the weekend. I need LONG, JUICY, PLOTTY stories. I can't find anything GOOD that I haven't already read, so I'm begging, please, give me something - anything!

Fandoms I'm looking for:

1) RPS in Popslash (any pairing), WB/CW (any slash pairing), or SGA (joe/david - I'm pretty sure I've read all there is of these, though)
2) SGA McKay/Sheppard or Lorne/Novak or Lorne/Parrish
3) Harry Potter Ron/Draco
4) Supernatural Dean/Sam
5) Smallville Lex/Clark
6) Sports Night gen or Dan/Casey
7) The OC Ryan/Seth
8) X-files Mulder/Krycek (yeah, I know, I have a weakness)
9) due South Fraser/RayK
10) Good Omens
11) Scrubs
12) Buffy Xander/Spike, Xander/Oz
13) Any combination/crossover/fusion of any of the above. Bonus for any AUs!!!
ETA: I'll take any Stargate SG-1 fics, too! Daniel/Jack, Daniel/Cam, Daniel/Vala.


The longer the better, and I don't mind angst - love it, actually - but I NEED happy endings. So no deathfic or sadness or irreparable breakups or something.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for anything you come up with!

I'm sorry, I have no recs. All mine come from the newletter usually. HOWEVER, if I have time, I'll try and write you a quick one. No promises though.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

if I have time, I'll try and write you a quick one. Oooo! YAY!

[veracity]

*Grins* I thought you'd like that dear. Since my aunt went home today, I should have more time available to write something for you. Cracktastic, to be sure.

You've probably already had these recc'd but...

Anything Sam/Dean by Gillian is fabulous

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Oh cool! I don't think I've read any of hers before! Thank you :)

Stuff I've read at work this week, because I am also lacking the internets there (long live memory sticks :D)

One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten Eleven

(Also, hah, I was going to rec you this hilarious fic where Ronon finds an egg. But, yeah :D)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I haven't read a couple of those - how did I miss that boochicken one? *shakes head at self*

(Also, hah, I was going to rec you this hilarious fic where Ronon finds an egg. But, yeah :D) hee!

[lincolnkw.livejournal.com]

I'm going to assume you've read Tarowen's popslash Au "Talliswood" - the very definition of long, juicy, plotty.Found here if by some chance you havent read it: http://www.angelfire.com/boybands/druid555/reunion.html

Then there's this one: http://www.angelfire.com/boybands/druid555/reunion.html

It's Xander/Spike yes, but it's also Oz/Eddie Munster. Xander discovers he's Marilyn Munster's son. Not angsty but damn funny.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I did finally tackle Talliswood... I was putting it off because it was so damn long, but I loved it anyway once I got into it!

Oz/Eddie Munster? Oh wow. Very, very intriguing... thanks for the rec!

[moon-brain.livejournal.com]

Ok!

http://www.dymphna.net/ucsl/archive/jamesmadpoetess.html
-anything written by James Walkswithwind and Madpoetess is amazing. It's funny, it's loving, it's adorable and it's some of the best written BtVS fic I've read. I strongly rec:
Small Fry (and it's sequel, Son of Small Fry)
The Domestic Pirahna Series. Yes, all twenty two parts.

McShep:
http://auburnnotlisa.livejournal.com/858.html
Ardhanavishvara, by Auburnnotlisa. You've probably read it, but it is upwards of 10 parts, and riveting to boot. Gender-f*ck.

http://sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com/tag/iowa+universe
A Farm in Iowa, by sheafrotherdon. This story is my North Star in the night sky that is well written SGA AUs. Pretty long, but the most recent part is a futurestory/deathfic, so maybe avoid.

Some other fandoms that you haven't requested, but are epic in length and the highest in quality. And happy.

http://www.shanksadelic.net/users/exlibris/magicratindex.html
Magic Rat's sprawling LotR universe, focusing on Rivendell and all it's silly elves. Multiple pairings, mainly Glorfindel/Erestor

http://www.csi-forensics.com/viewuser.php?uid=140
Evan Nicholas' series "What you Want" (and sequels "What you Have" and "What you Choose") is CSI Gil/Nick and Gil/Nick/Greg. Beautifully wrought. Nicely long. Bit emotionally bumpy, but leaves you glowing.

Enjoy!

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

Are you looking for new things to read? Or if I rec you the big, obvious stories in Smallville (that fill with me with love!) will that work?

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm looking for new things, yeah, but I'll take the big obvious stuff, too :) I could've missed some, and anyways it's always fun to read over something I haven't for a while *g*

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Cool! Thanks for the recs! Do I need to know anything about CSI to enjoy that story? 'Cause I have no idea who anybody is.

[moon-brain.livejournal.com]

Well, it always helps to know something of the characters, but I think you'd get a pretty full story anyway.
Here's some newbie guides:

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Thanks :)

[lincolnkw.livejournal.com]

Welll, now.

If you're possibly going to dip your toes into CSI then I must send you over to the pit o' voles. Yes fanfiction.net. No, don;t run away! Look for the author Marcus Rowland. He's a professional who posts his fanfic there. Look for his CSI/Buffy crossovers (actually almost everything is crossover, he has some seriously kickass Buffy/SG1 and Buffy/Smallville stuff as well), I think there's six of them. All completely Gen with het overtones but ohmygod are they well written. And funny. And make you go "hmmm." with the logical of it all.

[moon-brain.livejournal.com]

Indeed.
Some other good CSI authors include janissa/emily/ebrunson, knightmusic, thetenthmuse, and geekwriter.

http://www.csi-forensics.com/index.php
http://csi.fictionresource.com/index.php
http://www.nickandgreg.com/main.html

They can be found here, here, and here. Have fun!

What, me? Pimp?

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

ha! Okay, well, I'll try it, but i'm not sure... the show really isn't my thing, but that doesn't necessarily rule out fics for me :)

[nunshavingfun.livejournal.com]

Lorne/Novak is santanistic!!!

oh man! I wish my surprise was ready for you! Eugh. I suck.

I CAN recc you good omens stuff though.... Gimme a few mins....

Here is a general GO site:http://library.good-omens.com/

Feathers: http://library.good-omens.com/viewstory.php?sid=115

and a bat out of hell:
http://library.good-omens.com/viewstory.php?sid=13

Those two are awesome.

The revenge of the houseplants: http://library.good-omens.com/viewstory.php?sid=90&i=1

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Good Omens! YAY! You are THE BEST!

Lorne/Novak is santanistic!!! Nooooo! they are so cute together!!!!!

oh man! I wish my surprise was ready for you! Eugh. I suck. SURPRISE! Is this the story you've been working on???

[nunshavingfun.livejournal.com]

YAY! I am happy you are down with Good Omens fic! It's got wings!!!

Bleh! They always kill off parrish to make lorne/novak!

*shifty eyes* Uh what? :D

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

*laughs* oh man, I haven't read any kill-off-parrish fics yet :)

[nunshavingfun.livejournal.com]

Not kill him off in a funny way. Like they give him ass babies and then have him die of cancer or something. I'm like you impregnated and killed him off? That is so not nice!!! And then Lorne sluts it up with Novak. *harrumphs*

Poor parrish.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

wow, that sounds like horrible badfic, not the fun kind of badfic *nods*

[nunshavingfun.livejournal.com]

*nods*

[foxglove-chant.livejournal.com]

I almost recced you a really good Ron/Draco fic ... but then I remembered that you wrote it.

I'll keep thinking.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

*giggles* well, that's very flattering, thank you!!

[xxsignsoflifexx.livejournal.com]

There's a brand new smokin' hot Joe/David on the RPS com LJ, 9000 or so words.

Lance/Eminem- my very favorite popslash story ever http://geneli4.sitesled.com/stoplooklisten.html
I think it's a 7000+ wordcount.

If you are into Krycek/Skinner at all you will adore the Lodge series
http://squidge.org/ratb/warmthoughts/josan_lodge1.htm

Hope this helps!

Val

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

There's a brand new smokin' hot Joe/David on the RPS com LJ Oh, yeah, I jumped on that immediately instead of saving it. DARN IT ALL! I'm so impatient!

Thank you for the other recs! I think I've read that Lance/Eminem one, but not the X-files... I'm a little wary of attempting to read a Skinner relationship fic, but I might give it a try :)

[xxsignsoflifexx.livejournal.com]

I really urge you to try the Skinner/Krycek- it isn't overly graphic, and supremely well written. Mulder and Scully make appearances that to me were very in character. Also, I have a Daniel/Jack that I love called The Grave Yields Back Her Robberies. If I could only read one SG-1 story again this would be the one- it's very believable and I love Sam's reactions at the end of the story.
http://slashcity.org/quercus/Stargate/HappyDaniel.html

How about an Oz/Chris Kirkpatrick crossover? It's a hoot and a half and long enough to keep you engaged for a good hour or so.

http://www.fubitchacademy.net/stories/Singing_With_the_Radio-LH.htm

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

OOoo, yay Jack/Daniel!! Thanks!

I've read that Lucy Hale fic before... so awesome. Probably worth another read, too :)

[general-jinjur.livejournal.com]

i can't imagine i'll wind up with anything new for you, but i'll try. (yeah, i'm reading other peoples' flists. because mine is slow right now. hope this isn't intrusive.)

xander/oz:
cicatrix (http://teland.com/cica1.html) is very long and xander/oz eventually. i'm pretty sure.

nice shirt (http://www.exitseraphim.net/glossings/niceshirt.html) - seems like you must have read this already, i know you have recced other stuff from glossing.

lessons in cool (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=jinjreads&keyword=btvs%7Clessonsincool)

and a couple of shorter ones -
for the widows in paradise (http://calendae.livejournal.com/244529.html), sorrows like wild grass (http://tesla321.livejournal.com/47500.html), mellow (http://witling.livejournal.com/83156.html)


i'm not sure where to start with spike/xander.
anything (http://www.drizzle.com/~eliade/btvs_slash.html) from eliade, of course, but especially subtleties, sidelines and involutary bodies.
pretty much anything from witling, but the longer ones are prawnverse (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=jinjreads&keyword=btvs%7Cprawnverse), magic number (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=jinjreads&keyword=btvs%7Cmagicnumber), bus stop boxer (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=jinjreads&keyword=btvs%7Cbusstopboxer), the assistant (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=jinjreads&keyword=btvs%7Cassistant), land of the lost (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=jinjreads&keyword=btvs%7Clandofthelost), gloryhole (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=jinjreads&keyword=btvs%7Cgloryhole), and boglescat (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=jinjreads&keyword=btvs%7Cboglescat)

a critique of pure reason (http://www.annakovsky.com/purereason.html) is xander/dom monaghan, by annakovsky.

i'm going to take a hard look at house of pants before i go any farther...

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

YAY! I don't think I've read any of those... cool beans! You can stop by my lj any time :)

[general-jinjur.livejournal.com]

hooray!

[general-jinjur.livejournal.com]

well, maybe these won't be new, but you will have forgotten some? i don't *think* they were on your lists, but i can't guarantee.

visiting hours (http://www.improvidence.net/visiting_hours.html), a long gold sliding into dawn (http://www.kekkai.org/synecdochic/sga/long_gold_sliding.html), as the stars fade out (http://cottontail73.livejournal.com/12631.html), absolute corruption (http://community.livejournal.com/mckay_sheppard/1043974.html), biggest ever sky (http://www.improvidence.net/circus.html),
you've read string theory (http://alternateuniverses.com/toft/stringtheory.html), right?

the whole publishing au is here (http://aleuromancy.net/lalejandra/publishingAU.html) - various pairings, but ultimately sheppard/dex. which i was leery of, but it really works.

and some gen that are still totally worthwhile, and certainly long & plotty if you haven't already read them:
eurydice turns left (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=jinjreads&keyword=sga%7Ceurydiceturnsleft), i feel the earth move (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=jinjreads&keyword=sga%7Cifeeltheearthmove), planet megalodon wraith defense force (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=jinjreads&keyword=sga%7Cplanetmegalodonwraithdefenseforce), scheherazade (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=jinjreads&keyword=sga%7Cscheherazade)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I've read most of those SGA's, but not the whole publishing AU or the gen... Sheppard/Dex? I'm torn!! I don't know if I can take that, but I loved the first story in the series.

[general-jinjur.livejournal.com]

the publishing au is actually the only setting where i can deal with sheppard/dex. part of what makes it ok, i think, is that the publishing au mckay is so incredibly awesome.

i thought you probably had. :/

i am shy of gen lately, i really can't get into it - but those stories are the exceptions.

[sandalstrap.livejournal.com]

Have you ever read Down To You by mousewitchy ? It's a long, lovely Jeannie story from, oh, way back before M&MM came out. Kavanaugh gets a punch to the face! It's posted in four parts all linked together.

The first piece starts here if you want it. (http://mousewitchy.livejournal.com/4837.html)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Alas, I have read Down To You, wonderful piece :)

[siegeofangels.livejournal.com]

I once made a list of SGA Greatest Hits; it ended up being about fifty fics or so. Sadly, I didn't include links so I can't give you that.

Here (http://siegeofangels.livejournal.com/221277.html) is a even dozen with links, though, all McShep.

Thing is, since I pretty much know the Greatest Hits, you've probably already read them.

Also, friended you, which I thought I'd done already. Go me.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, I have read all of them, but some of them not for a while, and they're always fun to re-read :)

And YAY for friending! *g*
