Star Wars
Force Awakens (The)
(This refers to fic relating to the film 'The Force Awakens'.)
- In Tandem, by nymja. Rated G. (Some Han/Leia). Recommended by Bea.
Author's summary: Leia tries to picture Han as a father. She envisions her infant son being asked to hold a plasma torch as dad attempts to weld a coupling that’s come undone for the fifth or sixth time. Han tries to picture Leia as a mother. He sees his kid, with tons of hair. Just. Lots and lots of hair.
Bea's comments: This fic is set in the same universe as 'The Force Awakens' but several years before the events of that film (i.e. post 'Return of the Jedi'). Also, this fic is both hilarious and incredibly adorable. :)

Bea's comments: Please note that this fic is an attempt to reconcile the Star Wars expanded universe/Legends with the events of 'The Force Awakens'. I thought it worked pretty well.

NB: More fic by this author can be found in our 'Avengers (The)' recs section and is also here. - Twist and Shout, by gabriel and standbyme. NC-17 (Dean/Castiel slash). Recommended by Bea.
Authors' summary: What begins as a transforming love between Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak in the summer of 1965 quickly derails into something far more tumultuous when Dean is drafted in the Vietnam War. Though the two both voice their relationship is one where saying goodbye is never a real truth, their story becomes fraught with the tragedy of circumstance. In an era where homosexuality was especially vulnerable, Twist and Shout is the story of the love transcending time, returning over and over in its many forms, as faithful as the sea.
Bea's comments: It is true that this majorly AU fic is not entirely faithful to the characters (a criticism I mention because I've seen many discuss this fic online). It is however a *beautiful* love story and entirely worth reading, IMHO.
NB: More fic by these authors can be found here and here. - When you hear me singing you get the rifle down, by embroiderama. PG-13. Recommended by Bea. Set many years before the series. Dean tries to protect his brother like his father taught him.
