Oh dear god.

You have no idea, my sweet summer child.  None at all.

Okay.  If I tried to list everything, I will never be able to finish this post.  So – here are my three current fandoms (I have others, but yeah… long post will be long) and here are like a few fics off the top of my head.

Sherlock (Johnlock)

Performance in a Leading Role by madlori

This is one of the best Alternate Universes that it has ever been my privilege to read.  It’s still Sherlock Holmes and it’s still John Watson, even though they’re actors in this universe and not crimefighting super sleuths. 

It’s gorgeously written, it’s expanded into a universe in itself and it’s one of those fics that you can just sink yourself into and never want to leave. 

Captain America MCU (Stucky)

Tin Soldiers by idrilka

My absolute favorite thing in the MCU fandom is any fic that deals with the heroes in social media and in a meta-ish way.  This is THE ultimate outsider POV Stucky story – and even now, I’m in awe at how the author manages to capture every individual fan you know on the internet.

You KNOW these people.

They ARE your people.

They ARE you. 

It’s brilliant.  It’s Steve/Bucky and their presence is very tangible in this story, even though they themselves aren’t directly appearing to the reader.  Again, it’s not just a fic, it’s become a universe I can escape to.

you know i dreamed about you by napricot

basically, one of the best canon divergences i’ve ever read.  i mean, canon-wise, Bucky either gets killed or gets put through a lot of pain and this fic is like everything i want after watching CATWS and going, “please, somebody save bucky barnes and steve rogers!”

That Ass (Property of Bucky Barnes) by greenbergsays

Okay, technically speaking, this fic fucked me up in the BEST POSSIBLE WAY, by killing me with laughter.

Really.

Go read this.  I won’t be responsible for ruined keyboards and tears of laughter though. 😛

The Hobbit (Bagginshield & Gigolas)

Sansûkh by determamfidd

Epic.  This is a WIP but it’s worth keeping an eye on. 

This is how you do fan fic on an epic scale.  It is world building, it is expanding on the existing canon, it makes you think and imagine and cry and laugh and…. yeah, okay, this is why fan fiction is such a good thing.

Did you ever sit yourself down and wonder things about the fictional universe you just discovered in a book?  All those little details and nitty gritty things and stuff that the canon only hints at or doesn’t really get to tell because we have to keep the story going and there’s no time to get into it?

Sansukh does that and it retells the Lord of the Rings and the in-between years of the Hobbit not just from a dead Thorin Oakenshield’s point of view, but it basically attempts to tell us the stories that were not told because we were following Frodo and Aragorn on their own respective journeys.  It tells us about Dain and Erebor’s heroic stand and the kingdom Bard got to re-establish.  It tells us their stories and it makes the existing canon all the richer.

There & Sass Again:  A Love Story by bead-bead

This is short and sweet and funny as hell and adorable as anything.   Also hot but look, aside from going all nnnnnngh at the Good Bits, you’re still giving yourself gigglefits at all the lovey-doveying going on.

Ta-da.  Enjoy!
