wanted: fic recs...

[txorakeriak]

Do you know the feeling when at first you don't have time to read fic and then you don't dare to read any because you're afraid you might pick a bad one and it might spoil the experience forever and you won't feel like reading any more after that? Well, that was basically what I did the past few weeks. First I didn't have time, then I didn't want to. But this week I started to miss fanfiction and decided to give it a try. Thankfully, I picked a really really awesome fic to end my fic-hiatus (thanks, nahco3!!) and can happily continue reading. And I've read enough awesome fics since then to make up for the horrors that I was faced with when going through the backlog of submitted fics at the archive. Mind you, not all of them were bad, but the few bad ones were SO bad that they count for about 1000 averagely bad fics. Ugh.

Anyway!

Since I have more time to read fic now, I'm looking for fic recs. Any pairing, any rating, as long as it's mindblowingly good. :D Feel free to link other people to this post because everyone likes different stuff and I'd like to get as much variety as possible.

Meanwhile, here are my own recommendations out of the fics I read recently:

By the way, speaking of the fic archive, I've created a RSS feed for fic updates (let's hope it works), here it is: njag_archive. If you add that to your LJ friends list, you'll get news on your timeline whenever a new fic has been added to the archive. :)

Now, your recs, please! :D
