Challenge #10:

In your own space, rec a fanwork (fic, art, vid, playlist, anything!) you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Reccing things! My favorite ... and I cannot limit myself to 1, because rules are meant to be broken. So I'll add a zero and it's fitting because it is the 10th challenge. So here are my 10 go to recs, in variety of fandoms/ships:

1. A Road Paved in Gold by nadin (Wonder Woman/DCEU, Diana/Steve, Mature, 327,156)- this fic is set right toward the end of WW 2017 and goes off from there with the 2017 Justice League movie incorporated eventually, and it is excellent.
2. Clark Kent is Dead by brokenhighways (Smallville, Clark/Lois, Not Rated, 14,516)- A in depth look into Pandora!Clark, how he ended up in that situation and all that he learned. Such a good character study and all the Clois intertwined was lovely.
3. i'll pretend you're watching the sky too by buries (Gilmore Girls, Rory/Jess, PG-13, 24,904)- Okay so this was a gift to me but that doesn't change how absolutely incredible this s3 canon divergence was! Her Jess is so on point and the friendships/platonic relationships have such a big part of the story and I love that.
4. Eleven Men and a Baby by andrealyn (Ted Lasso (TV), Roy/Keeley, team, PG-13, 6,430)- Keeley finds out she is pregnant and the whole team wants to be involved. They nail the voices and the dynamics and this whole story made me smile.
5. walk with me by obsidienne (Star Trek: AOS, Kirk/Spock, Mature, 12,110)- set post ID and part of a series that is also very good. Love that Kirk weighs the consequences of what has happened and how he has internal doubts too. And I'm a sucker for some Spock pining!
6. Phantom Limbs by Bagheera (X-Men: ATS, Erik/Charles, PG-13, 8717)- One of the first XMFC fics I have read and an old favorite.
7. Friends? I'd Say Family by mockturtletale (Suits, Mike/Harvey, PG-13, 11988)- s1 AU in which Harvey has a kid. Kid fics can be tough but this one worked for me, because it felt like they were both still very IC and of course Harvey would have a smart talking child too.
8. Of the Devil's Party by mermaiddrunk (Elementary, Joan/Jamie, Mature, 52692)- In which Jamie starts writing letters to Joan after she is cleared. I love this ship and the story had me hooked.
9. we could jump the state lines (we only get the one life) by notcaycepollard (MCU, Bucky/Sam, Explicit, 33533) - one of the first longer Winterfalcon stories and I love the take on Bucky, Sam, and their relationship as it is a canon divergence post TWS.
10. you'll wait a long time by nanasekei (MCU, Steve/Tony, Explicit, 16516)- Where Steve and Tony connect at a wedding and it goes from there. I really love their writing in general. Really a great source of Stony fics, especially if you love Steve.

The X-Men fic sounds good, thank you!

[svgurl]

No problem! I hope you like it. I used to really love Charles/Erik but I'm not up to date anything in the past few years. If you liked that, a few more Cherik recs:

From Rage to Serenity (With All the Points in Between) by sky_reid

Know That It's True by luninosity

Rift by qikiqtarjuaq (Where Erik and Fassbender switch places)

[spikedluv]

Thank you! That last one sounds intriguing!

[svgurl]

You're welcome! It's been a while since I've read that one but I remember I thought it was funny at the time. :D

[enemytosleep]

These aren't my fandoms, but I love love seeing folks share expanded rec lists like this!!!

[svgurl]

Same! There are a lot of great lists out there, and while I'm not in a lot of the fandoms that people are sharing either, I'm glad that this challenge has given an opportunity for them to make some recs. :D

[peaked]

🥰 I'm so glad you like that GG fic! Thank you so much for reccing it!!

I'm marking that SV fic to read later once I get to that episode...

[svgurl]

No problem! It is really amazing and when I was reading it for the first time, I was just constantly freaking out over how perfect it was. :D

I hope you like it when you get around to it! :D

What are words. That is a mammoth of a story, lol. I'm kind of jealous they were able to write that much.

And awww, thank you so much for reccing Clark Kent Is Dead! It really means a lot to me! ❤️❤️❤️

I like that you have a variety of fandoms here! It's nice to have different things to read. All I could think of was Clois so I just went with the one I thought fewer people would have come across. :P

[svgurl]

I know right? It's amazing. She is good at writing long fic- even her current WIP, a WW84 retelling that I haven't started yet, is well over 250k.

You're welcome! It deserves it- I will legit jump at any chance to rec it, because it is just so good. ♥

I probably could've picked ten from most of those ships that I listed and I wanted to limit myself so I figured I would just go with one of each of ships I like/have liked in the past. And selfishly, I'm glad you went with Clois and the one you recc'd, because I hadn't come across it and since I don't go on FFN anymore, I wouldn't have anytime in the near future either. :D

[senmut]

awesome recs!

[svgurl]

Thank you! :D

[goddess47]

A large majority of folk have rec'd more than one thing. So, you're in good company!

This is what I love this challenge for. There are lots of amazing fic in fandom and everyone is so eager to share works with us.

A couple of those are going on my to-be-read after Snowflake list!

Thanks for sharing with us!

[svgurl]

I figured that would be the case before I even began to look at other people's responses, and that the number was just one to remove any pressure. It is nice that there were so many people who made lists too!

Same. I love recc'ing so this is definitely one of my favorite challenges. It can be hard to navigate with a limited amount of time and a vast amount of works so it is nice to get some recs.

Awesome! I hope you like them. :D

No problem!

[wearing_tearing]

I've never clicked on a link so fast like for that Ted Lasso rec lol Thank you forsharing!

[svgurl]

Haha good to hear! You're welcome! I hope you like it. I think there is a follow up too, but I haven't read it yet. :D

[cortue]

Ooo what a great list, thanks for these! In particular when I saw you had gilmore girls in your list of fandoms I was hoping you would have some recs~

[svgurl]

Thanks! And no problem! I didn't know you were a GG fan too! I tried to stick with one fic per ship and limit the whole list to 10 but I could've done 10 for almost every ship on here easily. What's your GG ship? Maybe I could give you more recs, if you would like them.

[cortue]

Oo yes, I'd like that if you have any. For shipping, any combination of Rory, Paris and Jess. I was also really fond of Lane and Dave when Dave was on the show. Not sure if they ever got any fic though.

[svgurl]

I ship Rory/Jess and Rory/Paris too. As much as I love Lane/Dave, I don't think I've any fic where they weren't a side ship. For Literati, I would recommend:

missgoalie75; they've written a lot of excellent Rory/Jess fic and they also wrote one Paris/Jess fic and it was well written but I wasn't a fan of the Rory characterization.

MrsMess has also written a lot of Rory/Jess fics that are interesting and well written.

ultra has written many Rory/Jess stories too, and she's a good writer.

the weight we carry by peterstank is a long one. I only started to read it but it was good.

buries also wrote me an excellent fic that did have some background Lane/Dave: spooky hollow

tosca1390. has also written some Literati fics.

hold on to the memories (they will hold onto you) by silverlandings , where Rory wishes she never met Jess and gets her wish, was good

pambeesly has written a few Literati fics too. I liked the FWB one that I haven't finished reading yet but since it is going to be part of series, you may have to be warned that that fic may not have a happy ending. IDK for sure though.

For Rory/Paris:

dollsome has written the ship many times, which you can find here. She also wrote two Rory/Jess fics, but she doesn't ship them anymore.

Hope you find something you like and haven't read!

[cortue]

Ooo what a list! Thanks very much!

You're welcome! :D
