Fangirl Thursday!
Hi everyone. This is my first tour, I tried to go through and make sure that I am not reccing things that have already been recc'd before, but I haven't had access to a computer until last week. Long (boring) story.
My tour includes some: X-men (movieverse), Dr. Who, Star Trek 09, Harry Potter, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Hopefully, you will enjoy these stories at least half as much as I did. Enjoy! :)

Summary: "...suddenly you feel a surge of power that has nothing to do with mutation but everything do to with the fact that you are a girl alone with a boy and you can maybe do whatever you want to each other and it probably (please God) won’t result in one of you dead and the other crazy... "
Why I fangirl this: This is probably the best thing to come out of that last movie. *winks* Seriously, I really enjoyed the way this story was written. I didn't want this story to end, and I still hold out hope that there may be some sort of follow up. *grins*
Fandom: Dr. Who - Ten/Martha
Title: Dreaming in Metaphors - part 1 & Part 2

Why I fangirl this: Very well written and a fantastic ending. Really, really wonderful work.
Fandom: Star Trek 09 - Scotty (gen)
Title: Isn't it Delightful?
Author: hawkmoth
Rating: G

Summary: There's more to Delta Vega than meets the eye.
Why I fangirl this: A wonderful glimpse into what went through Scotty's head while on Delta Vega.
Fandom: Star Trek - Scotty/Gaila
Title: Tiny Spark
Author: sarah_actually
Rating: PG-13
Status: Complete
Summary: Scotty's drunken misadventures while on shore leave.
Why I fangirl this: I love this pairing, for some reason, it just works for me. This story is funny, sweet and told from Scotty's pov - which I enjoy immensely!
Fandom: Star Trek - Scotty/Gaila
Title: Slow Burn
Author: sarah_actually
Rating: PG-13
Status: Complete
Summary: a sequel to Tiny Spark.
Why I fangirl this: This is utterly addicting. Funny too!
Fandom: Harry Potter - Harry/Hermione
Title: Stregati
Author: ely_baby
Rating: NC-17
Status: Complete
Summary: Everything is possible in Venice, even what you thought would never happen.
Why I fangirl this: I rarely ever like adultery fics. This is probably my one exception. It is written extremely well and doesn't gloss things over. Very real and fantastic.
Fandom: Harry Potter - Hermione/ ??? Unknown
Title: The Pulse
Author: Chelle
Rating: NC-17
Status: WIP
Summary: One extraordinary witch out of each generation is afflicted. This is going to be a long year for Hermione.
Why I fangirl this: This story has great potential and I am really enjoying what has already been written. The mystery of who she is going to end up with is something that you rarely see in fandom.
Fandom: Harry Potter - Hermione/ ??? Unknown
Title: Be Kind, Rewind
Author: Anamar
Rating: R
Status: WIP
Summary: Hermione Granger is a fifty-two year-old know-it-all at the top of her profession, determined to stop the next Dark rising. Hermione Granger doesn't like being cannon fodder. Hermione Granger really doesn't like being badly used cannon fodder. Unfortunately for Hermione, in order to change things she's going to have to re-live the only experience worse than being a poorly-used pawn. Welcome to adolescence!
Why I fangirl this: Did I say that Hermione / Guess who is rare? lol Well, this is another one obviously. I have a weakness for time traveling fics. This one does not disappoint. It is a compelling story to see how a much older, wiser Hermione go through the trials of her early days at Hogwarts. I keep checking my inbox for updates on this one.
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Buffy / Faith
Title: Virtue
Author: faith1922
Rating: R
Status: Complete

Rating: NC-17
Status: WIP
Summary: Post "The Zeppo" - Anyanka tried to curse Xander for Cordelia. What happens when a different being takes an interest in the former couple?
Why I fangirl this: The premise of this is a little cracky but it works. Seriously. The way their relationship is shown in this story will have you wanting more. The author has mentioned that this story isn't abandoned so I am eagerly waiting for the next installment.

Title: Once Again
