Still in a nostalgic mood, so I'm going Old-School...anya_elizabethNovember 29 2009, 14:49:14 UTC
First fic that comes to mind? PG-13. I just had to look it up to check which one of the series it was, and oh God it still quite literally makes me stop breathing. When I read that first? I think I might have actually died right then. I am of course talking about Almost, at Times, the Fool.
The rest of the series is, of course, smokin' hot *reads chap 20 of A Wizard Song again to, ahem, confirm* but that was such a defining moment on my path to Snarry and, indeed, to good writing. I remember thinking at the time that I wanted to be able to write a kiss that incendiary. It's a long-term goal. :)
THe other fic which springs to mind - and it does so quite a lot, actually - is A Choriambic Progression. That scene in the forest at the end... yeah. Defining moment again. I want to, one day, write something that perfect.
And I am not going to talk about amanuensis1. I devour my flangst and fluff. I seek out the happy and the angst with happy endings and the simply smutty. But deep dark bits of my psyche cry oh God yes to Amanuensis.

First fic that comes to mind? PG-13.
*Nods* There's definitely more to eroticism than explicit sex. I was about to rec a Star Trek fic that I really enjoyed that was both PG-13 and insanely hot. But I decided to keep this HP focused (except for that last Merlin rec that insisted on staying on the list).
I think I'm one of the few people that isn't overly fond of A Choriambic Progression. I should probably re-read it one of these days. Though I'm also not especially fond of Between Days either and every loves it, too. Different strokes, I suppose. *shrugs*
And so much WORD about amanuensis1. Dark, hot, and wrong. I love her and ravenna_c_tan for those.

Oooh go on, I wanna see Trek fic! I like to dabble :)
*nods* Different strokes indeed, I can think of plenty of fic that everyone loves but just didn't work for me. It's fine except you can't help being a bit sad cos it seems like you're missing a party!

I rarely read outside of HP, but I should, because these are awesome. K/S one is my fave though. The new film has made me such a shipper! And of course, K/S has the best ship-name-smoosh. I always like the ones with the best name-smoosh. Is there a technical word for that?

*snicker* But - but - name-smooshing that epic just shows the ship is fate! Other ships don't even have the privilege of a pronounceable name-smoosh, let alone a real word!

Well, since you asked. Some Trek recs:
How to Avoid Kicking Puppies and Other Valuable Lessons in Leadership No porn, but lots of UST
I'm Just a Jealous Guy Kirk/McCoy that is fantastic and made my K/S OTP-lovin' soul wibble.
The Illustrated Man Another K/Mc by the last author.
And You Take Me the Way that I Am Okay, I love everything from this author. Girl!McCoy/Kirk
Stars Apart Shine the Same K/S finally.
I'll stop here. ;D

You mean Kock or Spork? Trust me, those are all courtesy of Reboot. Most of the old TOSers would spit on you for it. ;D
