And the very silly way you grin
Jan. 5th, 2012 11:58 pmI should be asleep now, instead I am posting my day 6 entry for the Snowflake Challenge. Today's challenge is as follows:
... rec at least 3 fanworks you thought you wouldn't like (because they weren't your fandom or they pushed against your boundaries or you thought you just wouldn't be interested) and that you ended up loving.
This one was harder because I don't have a lot of hard limits where fic is concerned... but taking a look through my Pinboard I think I managed to get a decent cross section of things that fit the bill.
First off, is a pairing that I never would have thought I would like. I love Trek, love Trek fic and I even love the way Spock and McCoy jibe at each other... but I can honestly say I never in a million years would have thought I would like Spock/McCoy. What turned me around was Scarred Beautiful by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
notboldly. Everyone is perfectly in character and the slow progression of things is pitch perfect. Summary: McCoy had never put much credence in judging people based on their scars, probably because he had more than a few himself.
This one hits one of my strange self imposed limits. Yes, I am in the SPN fandom, and yes I read Wincest. BUT, I don't like and never read any RPS incest between actual siblings, it squicks the hell out of me. I just can't do it. And this fic is one of the only - if not the only - exception I can remember to that rule. It is another case of loving the author and basically devouring any/everything they write. Sorry Neil... but I love this one. Blue_Soaring's I know there's better brothers but you're the only one that's mine Summary: Glamdom. Adam Lambert/Neil Lambert. NC-17. ~6300 words. Incest. Pre-idol. Neil would like to think he's had a remarkably dick-free life when it comes to Adam.
And then there is the most WTF fic I ever loved *laugh* But see, I lovecherrybina and I trust her not to steer me wrong fannishly, so when she recced formerdinosaur's The Scenic Route and flailed about it, I had to give it a try. Even though it was South Park fic. Yes, that South Park. BUT don't think I have lost it... it's the South Park boys all grown up and heading off to college. It's an epic story (clocking in at around 100k) about coming of age and road trips with friends and trying to figure out who you are and what you want and best friends and fuck it's just gorgeous. Seriously, if you ignore everything else I have recced, give this one a try. Summary: Summary: The boys embark on a six day road trip to California before separating for college. Cartman is a pain in the ass, Kenny has no future, Butters is in crisis, and Kyle doesn't know how he'll say goodbye to Stan.
