reconcilable differences by shallot; 40.113 words

Smallville: Clark/Lex.

So, you know, comics canon is far more invested in crack fic than fanfiction could ever hope to compete with. Shallot makes use of one of my favorite bits of DC canon wtf-level crack: Kon, aka Superboy, who is the test-tube baby of Superman and Lex Luthor. No seriously. In DC comics canon Lex Luthor and Clark Kent have a baby together. This story is fabulously funny and wonderfully long; no previous knowledge of DC canon needed to enjoy.

Reconcilable Differences

safety check by lilysaid; 8.300 words

Filed under: 5.000-10.000 words, nc-17, slash, stargate atlantis rps — theantimodel @ 11:21 pm

Stargate Atlantis RPS: Joe/David.

So I basically love lily’s writing no matter what; she’s written my other favorite sga rps story as well. She’s always, always, always fabulous on building plots and relationships and complexity. David is especially sympathetic in this, and I’m really just enamoured of the whole story really.

Safety Check

a farm in iowa by cate; 12.000 words

Filed under: 10.000-20.000 words, r, slash, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 11:20 pm

Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay.

Some fandoms lend themselves better to AUs than others. For me, SGA is one of those fandoms in which I cannot read enough AUs. This story is AU to a point: John is still in the Air Force, at least at the beginning of the story, and Rodney is still a physicist, but they never go to Atlantis. Instead, John finishes out his tour in Antarctica and goes to Iowa to live on the farm his grandfather left him when he died. And Rodney meets him there after his tire blows out near John’s farm. What I like most about this are the details and the slow build of their friendship. Good characterization and solid pacing.

A Farm in Iowa

blue dog on a yellow couch by cathybites; 2.159 words

Filed under: 1-2.500 words, nc-17, slash, wb rps — theantimodel @ 11:19 pm

WB rps: Jensen/Jared.

So I’m just going to quote ’s feedback here. This is pure, unadulterated PORN with a side of kinky!Jensen & pliant!Jared. There’s rimming and hotness galore. Guh.

Blue Dog on a Yellow Couch

reminders of echoes by maygra; 5.993 words

Filed under: 5.000-10.000 words, gen, pg-13, slash, supernatural — theantimodel @ 11:18 pm

Supernatural: gen, or very mild Dean/Sam slash.

Maygra brings the creepy more than a lot of authors in the Supernatural fandom, and it never fails to make me happy. This is a little less on the creepy side than on the oh hey that’s cool side.

Reminders of Echoes

the only people for me are the mad ones by ignipes; 3.500 words

Filed under: 2.500-5.000 words, gen, pg-13, supernatural — theantimodel @ 11:17 pm

Supernatural: Gen.

The Winchester version of a happy ending after they get the demon. This is gen but it could just as easily be labeled non-explicit slash. Such a lovely story, good characterization, interesting, well detailed.

the only people for me are the mad ones

and feel what it’s like to be new by flipmontigirl; 2.647 words

Filed under: 2.500-5.000 words, pg-13, slash, supernatural — theantimodel @ 11:16 pm

Supernatural: Dean/Sam.

Light on the slash and heavier on the introspection. This is a post-Devil’s Trap story with an angsty, lightly written touch.

interesting times by trollprincess; 4.100 words

Filed under: 2.500-5.000 words, gen, r, supernatural — theantimodel @ 11:15 pm

Supernatural: Gen.

So I don’t read a ton of gen in this fandom (or any other really) because I’m OTP enough to prefer to see Sam and Dean be SamandDean, but Trollprincess is one of those authors whose fic is guaranteed to be good no matter what. In this one Dean gets cursed with that ancient proverb: May you live in interesting times. This is almost a five Sam’s that didn’t exist type story and it’s really fucking awesome. The kind of story which would make for a damned interesting episode.

Interesting Times

people livin’ in competition by ladyjaida; 1.440 words

Filed under: 1-2.500 words, r, slash, supernatural — theantimodel @ 11:14 pm

Supernatural: Dean/Sam.

Dude. Oneupmanship is one of my very favorite things in fic. And Dean and Sam are perfect for it because they’re brothers and they compete and play practical jokes and bicker. And I’m pretty sure I was just waiting for someone to write this story. I’m very pleased that was the one to do it too, because she pretty much guarantees a good read.

the touch of your hand by jenn; 3.422 words

Filed under: 2.500-5.000 words, nc-17, slash, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 1:04 pm

Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay.

Slow, hot, and lyrical; absolutely perfect for the story’s desert setting. One of my favorite things about Jenn is that she does versatility so well, infuse a story with mood and setting until it oozes with atmosphere and everything is poetry and then in the very next story she writes, she’ll do the same thing with gritty hardness and realism.

The Touch of Your Hand

an the first two don’t count by ladyjaida; 5.254 words

Filed under: 5.000-10.000 words, nc-17, slash, supernatural — theantimodel @ 1:04 pm

Supernatural: Dean/Sam.

Ladyjaida has always been particularly good with characterization in all of the fandoms I’ve read her in. Supernatural is no exception for that, Sam is very good in this.

And the First Two Don’t Count

deemed salvageable by hans; 2.066 words

Filed under: 1-2.500 words, nc-17, slash, supernatural — theantimodel @ 1:03 pm

strong>Supernatural: Dean/Sam.

Post-Devil’s Trap. A sorta pwp with just the right amount of complexity and outside meaning.

When it happens, they aren’t drunk or thoughtlessly looking to relieve morning wood. It’s barely dawn and Sam is stirring contentedly from a sunlit dream when he feels a wetness on his back where Dean’s cheek is pressed against it. He freezes, certain that Dean is crying and will never, ever forgive him if he turns around, when Dean snorts loudly and Sam realizes that his brother is merely drooling on him.

Deemed Salvageable

until i can see again by poisontaster; 19.194 words

Filed under: 10.000-20.000 words, nc-17, slash, supernatural — theantimodel @ 1:02 pm

Supernatural: Dean/Sam.

There’s Sam learning about his powers and Dean angsting as Dean does, and a Missouri we maybe sort of got a glimpse at in canon, and really, really good plotting.

Until I Can See Again

and here we are on a darkling plain by lyra; 3.583 words

Filed under: 2.500-5.000 words, r, slash, supernatural — theantimodel @ 1:01 pm

Supernatural: Dean/Sam.

Set during one of the months Lyra wrote about in In Miles, In Laughter, In Strife this story is a brilliant, fun piece about what happens when a Satanist’s spell gives Dean angelic powers and Sam demonic powers for one month.

And we are here as on a darkling plain

in miles, in laughter, in strife by lyra; 7.466

Filed under: 5.000-10.000 words, r, slash, supernatural — theantimodel @ 1:00 pm

Supernatural: Dean/Sam.

So canon tells us that a year passed from the beginning of the season to the end of it. And Lyra fills in the blanks between all of the episodes we saw and all of the other stuff that must have gone on off screen. At times funny and at times serious, but always imaginative. I think that’s probably how I would describe all of Lyra’s writing actually: imaginative. And the Supernatural universe lends itself to that perfectly.

In Miles, In Laughter, In Strife

falling like rain by rachel shanz; 2.700 words

Filed under: 2.500-5.000 words, nc-17, slash, supernatural — theantimodel @ 12:59 pm

Supernatural: Dean/Sam.

I’m not generally a fan of the idea of Dean and Sam having had sex pre-series, but for some reason it works for me in this story. And I like the author’s summary because it’s pretty true to the story: Sam doesn’t think it will ever go back to how it used to be. But mostly, any plot this has is really just an excuse for the porn.

Falling Like Rain

fall by sinistral; 3.212 words

Filed under: 2.500-5.000 words, nc-17, omg favorites, slash, wb rps — theantimodel @ 12:58 pm

WB rps: Jensen/Jared.

I mentioned the fantastic pacing in my other recced story by Sinistral, No Sleep Til Bedtime, and I’m pretty much going to expand on that theme in this rec. This one is all about the mounting tension and lust, which, if you couldn’t tell by the stories I tend to rec most often, is a huge, huge turn on for me fic-wise. Any author that can make me feel what the character’s feeling pretty much takes the cake and this story is the perfect example of that. Both Jensen and Jared are fanfuckingtastic.

Fall

no sleep til bedtime by sinistral; 9.731 words

Filed under: 5.000-10.000 words, nc-17, omg favorites, slash, wb rps — theantimodel @ 12:56 pm

WB rps: Jensen/Jared.

Oh this is quite possibly one of my favorites in the fandom so far. Set immediately before the Paley festival (where Jensen said in an interview that they’d only gotten 3 hours of sleep on the plane down to LA and an 18 hour shoot before that) there’s tired, sleepy hysteria, and insanely smutty sex with so much wanting and lust that the words just melt, and fabulous, fabulous characterization. Everything works and the pacing is fantastic, too.

No Sleep Til Bedtime

sports night by brenda; 850 words

Filed under: 1-2.500 words, nc-17, slash, wb rps — theantimodel @ 12:55 pm

WB rps: Jensen/Jared.

Just a short, sports related pwp, but hot, funny, and detailed like everything writes.
