Recs from Sept. - October, Misc. Fandoms.
Battlestar: Galactica
There are some moments where I feel the tiniest bit overwhelmed with my love for fandom. This? This is one of those.
Pop Divas After The End of the World!
I can't really put it any better than this:
Summary: That was the other thing about Britney: when she wasn't threatening to shoot you on sight, she was almost always really nice.
Um, I guess it's an AU version of "Resistance". With Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson, and not the *actual* people who showed up in the actual episode. Er. Yeah. Spoilers for "Resistance", I guess. Or, like, SANITY.
Joan of Arcadia
I recced this a couple years back, but I got to talking about stories that shook me/upset me/got me emotional, that sort of thing, and this is one that I still maintain is just--really amazing and must be read by any and all. If you haven't come across it, absolutely, absolutely read this.
Goodnight, Moon, by yahtzee63. You don't need to know Joan of Arcadia canon to read this; I didn't. It's...horrible to read. I don't like the way it resonates with me--sometimes, I think this hits too close to home because it just...seems like there's so much to fix and it's overwhelming at times. I hope that makes sense. But it's--it's work like that that leaves you a little humbled to be part of fandom and getting the exposure to these things.
Prison Break
Panopticon by ragnarokskurai, Prison Break, Michael/Mahone.
I've loved the addition of Mahone this year, and this story was a wonderful look at these two characters. It's just--wow, it's really hot.
My favorite section:
Mahone checks up on LJ and finds out the kid’s in gen. pop, sharing a cell with a guy named Mikhail, an ex-banker with a wife, five kids, and ties to the Russian mob. He does a little background and finds out Mikhail’s wife is Abruzzi’s cousin. LJ hasn’t been to the Infirmary for so much as a scratch. Scofield has every angle covered. Mahone doesn’t know how Abruzzi engineered the cell transfer, or what Scofield has that’s keeping Abruzzi on his toes, but this is the first time he gets the feeling Scofield might be someone he can’t catch.
I've been craving a story like this in this fandom ever since Mahone showed up at the cemetary with Michael still there, and don't even get me started on that elevator scene. *purring*
Smallville
Wabbit Hunting, by supacat. Smallville, with this prompt: "Kryptonite turns Clark (or Superman) into a bunny. Lex grabs his gun and goes wabbit hunting." from SummerCon.
Lex picked up the bunny and looked it in the eye, holding it at arms length. Its long white ears had fluffy tips that gave it a faintly lopsided look. It was soft to the touch. Its eyes blinked up at him. Of the many and varied forms of victory over his adversary that Lex had fantasized about over the years, this bunny scenario hadn't featured in any of them. But Lex was nothing if not opportunistic.
"Oh, that's a French Angora, isn't it?" said Crystal, his personal assistant. "I just adore his little lavender collar."
"I call him Bunnykins," said Lex, with a feeling of intense pleasure.
*bounces* This was completely hilarious and Clark is still scared of breasts, and likes Lex's *shoe* and AWW.
All the Queen's Horses by elandrialore - Clark/Oliver (Lex). *Finally.* The world needs more Oliver fic.
Stargate: Atlantis
isaymckay, SGA iharthdarth style, by fan_this.
Entanglement Theory by seperis - Spoilery for The Return Part I, and so *adorable*, I melt. Featuring a very afraid John and Rodney--oh God, they're getting *respect*, and *things done for them*, and it's all just so wrong and traumatizing for their little heads.
Supernatural
The naked floor reminds me by musesfool, Supernatural, Sam, Dean. Wonderful series of five moments in Sam and Dean's lives and how Dean is such a good big brother it kind of makes you ache.
