Fanfiction Rec List - Star Trek, Doctor Who, Merlin, Batman
The following is a compiled reclist of the fanfiction I have come to love for my current fandoms that I've come across in my internet journeys (which is to say, "the best in my humble opinion, that appealed to me first and foremost as a reader, and that I think others may enjoy as well, but should not be assumed to be definitive in any way.") My current Fandoms include: Star Trek: Reboot, Doctor Who, Merlin, and Batman/The Dark Knight. There is a bunch of gen fics but most romantic fics revolve around my OTPs or pairings I feel fond of such as Kirk/Uhura, Doctor/Rose, Martha/Owen, Arthur/Morgana and Bruce/Lois.
Also please note that I love a lot of fics by some of the authors here, but I decided just to post my favorites (except in three cases where I couldn't choose and just linked to their masterlists) I tried to keep one favorite fic per author, otherwise this list would have been as long as the phone book.

And since I couldn't pick a single fic from these three authors to represent their utter awesomesauce (I wish I could have posted all of them, but no rec list should be this damn long), please check out anti-social-ite's fic tag (I absolutley love the way she writes Rose, I think she's one of the few authors who really gets the character, so to speak), electrictoes 's fic master list is full of win and I am very fond of her baby fics (especially the Adventure 'verse I <3 Aida, Tomas and Jack!) and lastly
jlrpuck , who is pretty much the reason I want Rose to run off with Peter Carlisle, you can find her stories at her fic comm.
