I'm not a part of the SGA fandom at all, but these fics are brilliant and I think can be appreciated by Canadians and knitters alike!


Title: The Universe is Not Enough
Author: trinityofone
Rating: K+
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Summary: Based on ficklememeer’s postcard. Deadly-calm, deadly-serious: “I’m a spy,” Rodney said.

Title: #435, The Atlantis Local Stitch'n'Bitch Chapter
Author: rageprufrock
Rating: K+
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Summary: Rodney narrowed his eyes. "You'll rue this day when they take over the city and make us all wear knit caps."

Sorry I'm a little late on this, but I have a fic rec for the person wanting to read fics dealing with ghosts and hauntings.

Fandom: FFVIII
Title: Revenant
Author: Race Ulfson
Rating: MA
Pairing:Irvine, Squall, Seifer, Zell--in just about every possible combination
Summary: One section of B-Garden isn't used. There is a reason for that. Yaoi!Slash!

This is one of the few fics I've ever seen that manages to combine humor and horror successfully. The fic is very, very funny in places--but the the humor doesn't undercut the horror sections. Those are very creepy.

Revenant

I'm doing some anime-related recs for a change.

Does anybody have any recs ( fandom doesn't matter ) for fanfics with hauntings or ghosts? I'd really like to see the different styles on how to approach this.

Thanks!

Seriously, I cannot Phoenix Rising. Yeah, it is 24 chapters (probably the longest fic I've ever read) but it was so darn good. Set aside plenty of time to read this, because I couldn't stop.

Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel
Title: Phoenix Rising
Author: Yahtzee
Rating: M
Pairing: Buffy/Angel
Summary: This is a follow-up to "The Gift" quite unlike most you will have seen. Buffy awakens from death to find a world vastly changed.

And in the Chronicles of Narnia front, I cannot recommend The Queen in Exile enough!

Author: H.S. Kim
Rating: T
Pairing: None
Summary: This is a comic strip parody of "Harry Potter," the series of mega popular children's fantasy novels by J.K. Rowling, crossed with "Kill Bill," the last grand opus from Quentin Tarantino, who's apparently as much of an Otaku as well as a Wigger.

Rating: T
Pairing: None
Summary: He has eaten death, darkness and oblivion, and now there's only memory and madness.

Wow - Bri and I think its awesome how the community is being used so far. Keep those recs coming!

Anyway, we've noticed that there's been some difference in the ratings systems used for fics, and well, we've decided it will be easier to go with just one rating system. So, from now on, if you guys could use the system fictionratings.com uses (which is used by fanfiction.net), that would be awesome.

( Fic Ratings )

My newest fandom. Runaways by Marvel manga. A series about kids who discover their parents are really super-villians. The manga is akin to Buffy, with pop-culture references, quick quips, and an underlying dark tone. Each manga is about six issues. www.runawaysthecomic.com

And thus, I had to find fanfic.

Fandom: Runaways
Title: Discovery
Author: Milleniumrex
Rating: T
Pairing: slash! Nico/Karolina
Summary: So cute. Nico hurts her foot and Karolina eases her pain.

Fandom: Runaways
Title: Tryst
Author: Sandoz
Rating: T
Pairing: Alex/Nico
Summary: Alex and Nico before a mission.

These have lines that just hit you so hard. I love them. Yes, this is the lamest rec post I've ever done. I also tried really hard to find a 4400 rec but sadly, I hate all the fanfic for that show so far.

Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Title: Five Ways to Name a Rose
Author: Lavender
Rating: T
Pairing: Anya/Xander
Summary: An exploration of Anya's names and history. Really well done.

Fandom: Law and Order: SVU
Title: Accident Prone
Author: quasiradiant
Rating: T
Pairing: slash! Olivia/Casey
Summary: Explores every possible facet of Casey. The life imagined for her, the inner monologues, everything is SO perfect and so true to what is shown on the show. And Olivia is written so very true it hurts.

Excerpt: No one ever hit you, not really, but, of course, it's still a violation every time some swaggering defense attorney shimmies his eyes up your legs like he owns them or you, and his hands are wet when you shake. And those knuckles never healed quite right and sometimes they still ache when it's cold, and you don't know how to say, "You don't know me," when everyone thinks you're weak.

I feel like I give strange reccomendations. Hehe. This one's not really well written per se. It's just amusing and fun to read. It's a pretty old piece but still is a favorite of mine.

Fandom: Yami no Matsuei
Title: Red Herring
Author: SupremeOverlordErin-chan
Rating: K
Pairing: Various
Summary: Short, misleading ficlets. How dirty minded are YOU?

Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Title: Come the Day
Author: Kyra Cullinan
Rating: G
Pairing: None
Summary: Kyra's fic 'The Girl with Kaleidoscope Eyes' has probably been recced over 100 times over, and while I love that piece, I also love this one. Such a shrewd look at Anya.

Excerpt: She has made her hair brown again. Glossy and dark, like it was when she was last a demon. The blonde came with humanity, bottles of hair dye like television commercials advertised, as she tried to figure out all the nuances of being a real girl.

Fandom: Veronica Mars
Title: What If?
Author: cadhla
Rating: PG
Pairing:
Summary: cadhla takes us through Veronica Mars if it were written by Wes Craven, Robin Cook then Laurel K Hamilton, Stephen King, Tom Clancy, Joss Whedon, Hannah Barbera ( of Scooby Doo, Flintstones, etc fame ), Gene Roddenberry, Terry Pratchett, William Shakespeare. The imitations are pretty much spot-on and hilarious to boot. Truly a great read, even if you aren't even really a VM fan.

Those are two are heavy enough pieces for now. :)

Updated the memories again. Keep posting your recs! It doesn't matter if you only rec one thing in a post, its the recs that matter. You want these stories to get recognition.

Fandom: X-Men: The Comics
Title: Adornment
Author: Kathryne
Rating: G
Pairing: None
Summary: Emma Frost has always been one of my favorite characters and this simple piece about jewelry and diamonds just captures her character so well.

Excerpt: Some of them are blood diamonds, she knows. Normally, when she wears them, the faint psychic tendrils attached to them loop around her mind and scream in pain and loss.

Title: How to Have a Social Life Without Really Trying
Author: Wintertime
Rating: T
Pairing: Grissom/Sara
Summary: Because, at one point, everyone has to write one of the popular Greg-throws-a-party stories, and one also has to write a Grissom-and-Sara-play-Truth-or-Dare story. I’m killing two birds with one stone here.

Title: 4 AM

Rating: K+
Pairing: None
Summary: At least once in a lifetime, everyone sees something that they can’t explain. Grissom receives a phone call at 4 am from Nick.

Title: Birdsong
Author: sophiap
Rating: K+
Pairing: None
Summary: Grissom, Sara, and Nick are out in the desert, analyzing a crime scene. Only two of them listen to the birds though.
