MOAR RECOMMENDATIONS, YOU SAY?

I'm sure that if anybody knows my tastes well, they'll know that I absolutely love well-written crossovers. As such, I thought I'd link you guys to the best stuff I've run across thus far... and that I can think of off the top of my head and can dig up easily enough.

I really don't have time for this, but... they're so tempting and shiny and I already opened four links just as a start.

Long shot, but I've been trying to find this fic again for a year now. Have you ever read the crossover where House meets Wolverine? The first is a one-shot, Logan's acting as a courier, and they go fishing. In the second story, some Wolverine antics are required and House figures a few things out, and the writing is awesome but no search engine has been at all helpful.

I... have never heard of this fic BUT I WANT TO READ IT SO BADLY NOW.

I did find http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3927264/1/Death_of_the_Heart which is pretty damn medically accurate from what I know, but it's not the fic.

Hank sent Logan as a courier because he knew that Wolvie and House would get along, and later Logan and House are on vacation and there's some mumbling about a New Jersey Devil, and Logan saves an entire houseful of people and.... I don't even remember titles, I just can't find it, but it was SO GOOD.

Keep searching! If you have any luck, let me know! :D

I still can't find it. The closest I came was somebody that was talking about the story and couldn't find it again.

It wasn't on ff.net or livejournal. I think the author had a private site with nobody else's fic hosted, but that and a vaguely cream/yellow background are all that I really remember. I look for it periodically just in case, the New Jersey Devil plotline was awesome. Baddies took over this little bed-and-bath out in the country, they had guns, Wolverine takes care of that while House does the medical detail... I can picture most of it, but the details were completely worth a second read.

I did have the page bookmarked, but my computer's hard drive blew up and I didn't find it again. The other person mentioned reading it in 2006, so it might not even be online anymore.

Sad face! That's one of the reasons why I'm so grateful to websites like fanfiction.net and livejournal, because they're unlikely to suddenly go offline anytime soon... I tend to save fics from private websites if they're particularly awesome, but once I remember reading this amazing fanfic and THE VERY DAY I WENT TO GO SAVE IT the author took down all of their works. :(

I thought one author's site was really stable, but now she just offers downloads for Kindle/other platforms. Her entire website is gone, and my favorite stories were the ones that ff.net wouldn't have liked. (When she wrote sex, it was there because leaving it out would have been insane. It helped that it generally happened after a WHOLE lot of story, and in a few characters she wrote having sex at all was a gigantic milestone. Minisinoo in the X-men fandom with the amazing stories)

If I ever manage to find this story again, I am saving a copy to two hard drives to make sure I can read it again.

(and send me a copy too)

My favourite sex scenes always happen much later in the story. Having two characters jump into bed together simply because the author thinks they should is a bad way to go about it: I like character development. That's why I really liked this one Inuyasha fic (Tales of the House of the Moon) because it was the first believable Kagome/Sesshoumaru fic I'd ever read. I mean, it takes them at least a dozen long chapters to even trust each other, and I don't think that they even kiss until like chapter 40. Other, plot-related things have to happen first. ;)

My favorite stories used sex as a giant insight into the character. An ex-prostitute has had a very long, very slow romance with another character, and the author never glosses over "this is really hard and survival sex leaves permanent effects on people." There are problems, it's not instantly a porn movie, but when they work out their issues (requiring a very loud screaming match)... the reader's been waiting for so long that you're thrilled for both of the characters ( ... )

Oh god dewy flower... D:

"So far, I haven't had many stories where I even need to imply sex. I like working with series written for children, generally, and want to write Young Adult/YA. There's not generally a call for anything past getting a shirt off." It depends on the series, of course, but I get your point. ;)
