SSHG Fic Recs

Jul 28, 2010 15:02

I know y’all are going to think I’m so lame for this, but it’s my SSHG anniversary today!

A year ago, on this date, I fell completely for this bizarre and wonderful ship.

The long and winding path to shipperhood )

Cool! It's always great getting to share my faves with other people, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did! ^_^

And duuuude. The Dissolution Law...I was just praising you to the heavens for that last week, I think? So yeah, it and CoMC were at the forefront of my mind when I was making this list. Anyone who can make me wibble and flail at the angst that much and come back for more...considering what a sensitive little marshmallow I am, that's just genius on your part.*squish*

My, but you've been busy :) I remember the days when I played your guide into ship-hood! I haven't read most of these. Must catch up! Thanks for posting this, and thanks for mentioning Iridescent Snow. It'll get finished some day. *nods determinedly. And nice new journal layout :-) I think I WILL be an insufferable know-it-all!

I hope you enjoy the fics you haven't read! I don't blame you for not being up to date, what with RL being so hectic for you. Hopefully you can find a stretch of peace and quiet to have a nice long read! *squish*

And I re-read Iridescent Snow recently and was mournfully wishing there was more. *sighs* Still, as long as you're still intending on finishing it, I shall be patient!

nice new journal layout :-) I think I WILL be an insufferable know-it-all!

LMAO! You do that! *huggles*

I’m so glad you approve! *squish* Have fun reading!

PS. Have you read Madeline’s Adaptation? It’s based on Riley’s Pawn to Queen, but so much more epic. The ending is kinda bittersweet, but the fic is just amazing.

I've just copy pasted Pawn to Queen so it's on the list of things to do. Do you have a link for Madeline's Adaptation?

I gotta tell you - I'm overwhelmed right now (in a good way) - so many fics I haven't read and they truly seem amazing!

P.S. Have you read Laurilover's Out of the Depths? Some of the emotionaly scenes there were truly amazing! (not to mention the smut :-)

It's funny, because as much as I liked PtQ, there were some things that annoyed me about it, and then Adaptation- a fanfic of a fanfic, lol, I hadn't heard of that before! Or at least, not seen it done well- came along and fixed everything that bugged me!

The first four chapters are here:

I'm so glad you're enjoying working through the list! I know that feeling of excitement when coming across a list of recs with new and wonderful fics to read, and I'm feeling good about giving you that feeling!

PS. I have indeed read Out of the Depths. Damn it, I KNEW there were a few fics I'd left off, but I didn't have time to go hunting them down. That would've been a good one for the 'Plotty Smut' category, which is sadly lacking. I read tons of smut but I don't often save links for them, so that category's under-represented. Oops ( ... )

You were born from a vat of awesomesauce.

This is a beautiful list, and my mouth has already started watering. I am so excited to peruse them (stuff them on my PSP and read naughty naughtyies whilst on the bus and at work. HAHAHAHA!)

Thank you SO much from the bottom of my heart. Being new(ish) to this breathtaking area of the fandom, you are truly a guiding light. Thank you so much for taking the time to list these, to share. :) I really appreciate it.

♥♥ Je t'aaaaaaaaaaaaaime!

*beams* You are too kind, my luff! *squish* I hope you enjoy working through the list!

I wanted to include my thoughts on various fics, but LJ was already being pissy about the length, so I just kept it to summaries. I mean, basically, all I’m going to say is ‘WONDERFUL’ and ‘AMAZING’ and so on and so forth, so that wouldn’t help much. I’m open to fic discussion, if you like, though!

stuff them on my PSP and read naughty naughtyies whilst on the bus and at work. HAHAHAHA!

Hee, reading illicit so-wrong-but-so-right fic in public, how daring!

You are ever so welcome, darling, it was a true pleasure doing this list for you. ^_^ I’m glad you gave me the excuse, really, I’ve started re-reading some old faves I haven’t touched in a while and it’s so fun to think of you reading them for the first time and hopefully having a fantastic time!

PS. I don’t know if you’ve come across The Coward’s Kiss and what you think of it…but if you haven’t read it yet, don’t judge it by the first chapter or two. I kinda snorted and gave up the first ( ... )

DO YOU REALIZE HOW WANTON I AM FEELING RIGHT NOW FOR MORE OF THAT FIC?

....I failed to realize that was a WIP. *eyes you sternly*

I think you are an enabler, madame, and should feel some remorse. Now, here I am, gulping for air because I have been affected by the Coward's Kiss and I am breathing, grasping for more.

It sounds dramatic but my body is demanding right now.

*poutpoutpout*

BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH for the great suggestion. I am absolutely adoring that fic and your list! :D

♥♥SOMUCHLOVE

*huggleglomps* I knew you would love it, I KNEW IT. That writing style reminded me of you, and I so hoped you'd appreciated its beauty and elegance. ^_^

And lol, I do feel remorse that you didn't realize it was a WiP, but not for getting you hooked on it! :P

*wuvs you muchly*
