Fanfic Recs for a New Decade.

[sarkasticfics]

One of the original ideas of this blog was to not just post stories, but to occasionally post recs, as well. Now, I've basically got one resolution - albeit an extremely complicated resolution - for this year, and posting recs and stories on a more regular basis should be one of the results. Let's hope I manage to keep a New Year's resolution, for once.

As for the recs, most of these are SGA Big Bang stories, but there is a SGA/SPN story in there, as well as a smoking hot SPN-RPS fic. Enjoy!

  earthquakedream - Fic: Dirty Business
  
  J2 RPS, Jared/Jensen/Danneel, Smut, NC-17, short. Oh, Jesus Christ. I mean, how hot was that? Just, pure porn, pure deliciousness. Gave me some lovely mental images. Mmmm.

  Bluespirit - Fic: "Solitary man"
  
  SGA, John/Rodney, NC-17, AU. This slow, meandering story has a nice level of character development for John and is nicely built up and rounded off. A very enjoyable read.

  Savingfaith - Fic: What Happens In Vegas (10/10)
  
  SGA/SPN crossover, John/Rodney, Dean/Castiel, NC-17, lots of plot. Not sure how to cover everything I want to say about this story - I am a particular fan of crossovers, and a particular fan of the intersection of these two fandoms, so it was bound to please me, but this was awesome beyond that - the storyline makes sense, and the way these two worlds get meshed is done gently enough to do justice to both. I particularly liked Rodney's reaction to Castiel. Both Dean and John, who are the two PoV characters are extremely well done, and the way they just click is awesome.

  Dreamwaffles - Fic: "Calling Down the Lightning"
  
  SGA, John/Rodney, PG-13, Plot, angst, action! AU. OMG. OMG. OMG. I cannot recommend this story highly enough. It's premise is awesome, the writing is good, Rodney is spectacular... I enjoyed the heck out of this one. I'm already hoping for a sequel.

  Darsynia - Fic: "That Which"
  
  SGA, NC-17, John/Rodney, Angst. I liked this story. It was an AU with a more devious Michael and a slightly desparate Rodney. I loved Rodney's and John's developing relationship.

  the_cephalopod - Fic: "Genesis"
  
  SGA, NC-17, John/Rodney, missing scene. This is one of those stories that didn't have me flailing in glee or giggling out loud, but I enjoyed it. It's a standard post-Dorandan tale, with a nicely done narrative and a particularly nice focus on Rodney's attempts to better himself. My one quibble was that there were a few mistakes in the spelling, which is just... I'm a nazi. Sorry.

  Telesilla, Fic: Make the Devil Feel Surprise
  
  SGA, NC-17, Read the Warnings, AU, BDSM, John/Rodney. Holy shit. Heart palpitations, people. This wasn't a comfortable read, per se. Sometimes when I read D/s smut I can sort of totally ignore the whole psychological situation and just focus on the hotness of it, but somehow, Telesilla managed to keep up a level of subtle wrongness that was still so deliciously right and hot and smutty that I was sitting with huge eyes, staring at the story. Obviously, it shouldn't come as news to anyone that Telesilla's smut is hotter than burning, but it was the character elements that really pulled me in and kept me reading - otherwise my discomfort probably would have won out and I'd have stopped reading.

  Tarlan, Fic: Guardian
  
  SGA, NC-17, AU, John/Rodney. This fic was a fun, uncomplicated read, and sometimes that's precisely what you want. There was the occasional spelling/grammar error, but nothing that made me go AUGH. It gets squared away a little too neatly at the end, but I enjoyed it just fine.

  Kat Reitz & Perryvic: Fic - "Mercy of the Fallen"
  
  SGA, NC-17, AU, Epic. I loved the plot, I loved the smut, and the dynamics between John, Rodney and Carson were a lot of fun. I loved the way elements were taken out of several things I recognized. However, the worldbuilding was a little too vague - I spent most of the first part of the story going "huh?" at regular intervals.

  Auburn - Fic: "Know How To Fall"
  
  SGA, R, long, AU. Beautifully wrought story, with everyone's characters sounding perfectly true. The plot intrigued me a lot, and I had a lot of fun reading, even if I don't know shit about horses or horse riding. Ended too soon!
