Once upon a time, about five years ago, I stumbled into the Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom, which eventually turned into the Angel fandom as well. Which mostly turned into, for me, the Buffy/Angel fandom. In the other rec posts, you can find a lot of happy ranting about these fics. I'm tired, so I'm just going to list them here.

So here's a summary of some Buffy fanfics that hit the shows highlights:
Buffy's Diary- Old school Buffy in that it's based in the early seasons and it was written then.
Swan Song- This is my favorite post-Gift fic. It goes sad and fluffy, but remains awesome throughout. It ventures into slight Angel/Spike slash, but not even enough for me to object.
Five Dates: The Mature Plan- I'm a big fan of Maren, who I first found through IWRY marathon. This is a gorgeous post-Chosen, post-NFA, post-everything fic that makes me smile a lot. Like super a lot. Happily ever after, my dovelings. The best way to live the B/A life.

Fluffy and proud!

Maybe you read the last post, maybe not, but I mentioned the I was (don't freak out) running out of fic. So here is the part of the meme and my life where I ask for recs.

I would especially like recs for Veronica Mars (Logan/Veronica), Friday Night Lights (Matt/Julie, Eric/Tami), Buffyverse (Buffy/Angel), Bones (Bones/Booth, Hodgins/Angela), Gilmore Girls (Rory/Logan)...but give me Chandler/Monica from Friends, Peter/Olivia (Fringe), Dollhouse (Anthony/Priya), Lie to Me's Cal/Gillian or even some Ned/Chuck (Pushing Daisies). Any length, for seriousness. I love oneshots because I can just go through them really quickly and because I often feel like they can get more profound, but I can get really absorbed in chapter fic, so that's super much fun too.

Hit me with it, m'kay?

So, maybe you know that I love fanfic?

Pretty sure the answer was yes.

Anywhosers...A fic that I've liked for a while (I believe I recced it in an earlier post, but am too lazy to check and one of my arms is falling asleep) is I'm the Hero of the Story. And when I somehow ran out of new fic, I realized I should reread my old favorites which was awesome and super time-wasting fun. And when I ran out of old fic, I explored the writers of old fic, whereupon I realized that the aforementioned fic was written by a super awesome person named [livejournal.com profile] monroeslittle who has written other awesome Veronica Mars fic AND a Friday Night Lights fic that I read twice with little interruption AND the best and only Hunger Games fic that I have ever read.

So in short, visit here to check out some of the super awesome fics now opened to you because we all know awesome people never get as much loving as they should.

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Drop a link to your post in the comments. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom and maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.

(I am restricting myself to fics with few comments because otherwise this list will be a million fics long.)

They were together for three seasons, and yet my favorite Gilmore Girls pairing (Rory/Logan. Love them. Unashamed.) does not have as much fic as it should (read: an unlimited amount for me to read). It’s probably because they are so often overshadowed by the long-standing tension between Luke and Lorelai and Jess’s bad boy allure. I wanted to bring to light one of my favorite of these fics, Fade to Color. I love every part of it, from the title to the descriptions to the resolution.

Logan. A diary. Light, slightly smutty and a-friggin-dorably romantic. I don’t know why there are only three comments at the end of this Look into the Diary of a Man.

Bones fic is explosive. And a lot of it is total crap. This might be because I’m too picky or I’m looking in the wrong places or I’m really jaded, but there you are. There are your star authors, your [livejournal.com profile] miss_margarets and [livejournal.com profile] obrien_blues, but they’re harder to find than you would think in such a huge archive. This is a fic that was recced by[livejournal.com profile] leni_ba. It might be overlooked because it was posted in the less-used comm [livejournal.com profile] thejeffersonian, but I’m so glad that I went over to see it. It’s Lab!verse and Wendell/VNM and I’m as shocked as you are at how well it works. The characters are spot on, the backgrounds given are perfect, and I kind of want to kill off the Finder and make his show into a Nine Million Bicycles-fest.

Dear Veronica.” The title and first words of this fic that I want more of. Real Logan, the Logan he could have been, should have been- honest and poetic and gorgeous; no wonder he’s my background for the month- in one glorious letter. It’s definitely not as much as I want, but it’s enough.

I also highly recommend every single fic from this list. They might be fairly well known, but for anyone who hasn't had a chance to see them, they are not to be missed. Because anyone who tells you that they don’t wish they were Harpy so they could break the rules of commas and make it into art, that they don’t want A Strange New Story Every Time made into a serum and injected into their arm, that Nightfall didn’t make them weep like a baby, that Bittersweet Legacy doesn’t make them want to twist the universe so that somehow in its alternate state it becomes exactly what you wish it really were…they are a liar and you should no longer associate with them.

This was the hardest one ever. I cannot even tell you how much I cut out, even with the bits of cheating I did. I hope all the links work. Comment if they don't. Also, most of the fics tend to fall into certain shippy patterns. What can I say, I'm a shipper at heart.

Fic rec #1

My first rec automatically goes to Kristi ([info]bashipforever; same on ff.net). She was not the first B/A author I read, but she was the first good one. And she's really good. What I think I really like about her writing is that we are on the same wavelength B/A-wise and ficwise. The former might be because her fic influenced my views (a lot of good writing does that; I won't say all because I'm uncomfortable with all-encompassing statements like that) and the latter is because we both enjoy a good dose of angst, but in the end, we love the happy ending. All her fic is amazing and I have read it all at least three times (correction: I have read all her B/A at least three times. Luckily for me, she has a lot. :D) but here are some of my faves (in no particular order):
