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.
Smallville: Clark/Lex.
So, you know, I have a not so secret love for mpreg when it’s written well. Well as in fully recognizing the ridiculousness of the genre and delighting in taking a bizarre situation and making it funny and awesome all at the same time. There’s banter, and and it’s a post-rift future fic and Lex built a Superbot and just yes. You should read this.
WB rps: Jensen/Chris, Jensen/Jared.
This totally blew me away. Jensen is fabulous as is Chris and Jared. Also, I really feel like the locations are characters too because the whole story just oozes atmosphere. And it had me aching for everyone involved because it’s messy and heartbreaking, and gorgeous all the same.
WB rps: a little Jensen/Christian Kane, a lot Jensen/Jared.
Long and well detailed and incredibly well written. I really love this story.
Supernatural: Dean/Sam.
This is such an entertaining and fascinating amnesia fic (which, by the way, like pretty much every other fanfic cliché, I am a huge fan of when it’s done right.)
Supernatural/Hellblazer (comics version): Dean/John Constantine.
This is a really cool crossover. Set just before the tv series starts, it’s Dean on a job in New Orleans without his dad and in deeper over his head than he’d ever have known. I really like this story because the crossover potential between two canon universes like these is so strong but also because John Constantine is in a whole different league than the Winchester boys never even knew existed. Constantine goes up against the fucking devil himself and lives to fight more demons another day, and that is so much bigger than Dean’s rock salt shotgun and gritty bravado have ever faced.
Supernatural: gen.
Dean gets cursed and turned into a seven year old kid. The author calls this crack!fic, and the premise totally is, but this is a surprisingly insightful and complex story for a premise as potentially one-dimensional as some writers may have made it. Emily Brunson is in no way shape or form that writer. We all wonder about exactly what Papa Winchester was teaching Dean when he was growing up and this story goes into that in some really interesting ways. Sam is amazing, sympathetic and perfect in the situation because this opens his eyes up to so many things about how Dean must have grown up (something he sure as hell never thought about from Dean’s perspective ever before.) Plus, Dean is pretty much the most adorable thing on the block no matter how old he is, and at seven I just want to pinch his cheeks and play flashlight tag with him until Sam comes to feed him dinner and glare at me like the over-protective brother he is.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
This is a good, long adventure fic. Good plotting and interesting characters, both familiar and original. I really liked this story but I did have some issues with it, McKay annoyed me and, while I wouldn’t normally complain about something like this, Sheppard and McKay did stop to makeout at improbable moments while they were still trying to get to safety.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
Eleveninches always knows how to bring the fun and this story is such a wonderful AU set in Atlantis. Sheppard is a skateboard riding botanist! Rodney is the exact same (except not in charge!) Completely hilarious and endearing.
The West Wing: Sam/Josh
This story, or series of stories is really charming. Andrealyn has real talent for dialogue and she balances it by detailing the fast-paced world of the West Wing perfectly. The series is long an plotty and each section story is told from a different point of view: first Josh, then Donna, and lastly, Sam.
All That’s Fit to Print The Bad Case of Loving You Tomorrow, No One Will Remember
The West Wing: Sam/Josh
This won 3rd place in 2001 for Outstanding Josh/Sam in The Jeds West Wing awards. While I’ve got some issues with it, I do like the story. It’s first person pov (Josh’s), but Jori has created so much create background for her Josh and Sam that I can’t help but like it.
The West Wing: Sam/Josh
This is good, it’s long it has a politically driven plot and a good amount of angst and confusion. It also has some Josh/Amy and even less Sam/Ainsley so if the het really scares you then stay away.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
Billed as Pru’s answer to the romantic comedy genre this is a hilariously funny and gloriously heart-wrenching au where Rodney is a college professor and John is a sometimes stripper and Rodney’s physics TA. Pru has a definte knack for comedy and throwing the boys into unbelievable situations. Her characters are both sympathetic and larger than life and I love this story a lot. It’s long and detailed and really, it’d be hard not to fall in love with a John that draws F-14s on student’s papers when he’s happy with their work or with a Rodney whose greatest nemesis is a fellow professor who hates String Theory.
Bell Curve or Ladies Night at the Boom Boom Room
And the sequel–of sorts–to Bell Curve. You’ll definitely want to read this once you’re done with Bell Curve:
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
This is everything I could ever ask for in a story. Long, brilliantly paced, wonderfully characterized, and lovingly complex. It’s about what happens in Atlantis after Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is revoked. Seriously, this is the story I’ve been waiting to read.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
This is a really awesome AU and I don’t want to say too much about the story except that it’s long and it’s good and it’s terribly fun and I am so glad that Cesperanza actually went there (which you’ll get once you read it).
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
Lamardeuse is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors of the fandom. This is an astonishingly well done depression era AU in which Rodney is an aeronautical engineer and John is a test pilot and all roads lead to Atlantis in that way that I just love. Also, this is satisfyingly long, about 38,000 words.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
Rodney gives John the entire Star Trek series on dvd, it must be love. I really like a lot of the ideas in this story, like the exploration of the Atlantis black market, and what kinds of goods would be used as presents. Nice details and long too.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
I fucking love this story. In the beginning of Hide and Seek we saw a hint of the fun John and Rodney could get into when playing around with ancient tech. After watching all of the shows to date going back and seeing John actually laughing after he threw Rodney off the balcony is amazing. Cimorene picked up on that thread of fun and the possibility for adventure and ran with it. John and Rodney get to be the fantastically dorky boys they are when they find a personal teleportation device. This story showcases everything I like about the pairing and wraps it up into this fantastic package with spot-on dialogue and interesting Ancient technology and emotionally satisfying relationships and really hot sex.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
Oh god. Best. Crossover. Ever. And it deals with a lot of the issues left over from The Seige I II and III. The John/Rondey dynamic in this is really good and the story is fantastically fun throughout.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
This is a really cool story. It’s not an AU, but it takes place before the series starts, basically on the idea that John, as a pilot, probably flew a lot of the scientists out to the SGC base and that he and Rodney had met each other before Atlantis. Unique and well plotted and just very, very cool.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
Shallot makes everything better. Seriously, if I had to pick one author’s catalogue to take with me on a desert island? It’d definitely be Shallot. Babies! and wacky alien technology! and John and Rodney being dense dense dense! All without a hint of the sarcasm I’ve just summed it up with. Shallot takes the most clichéd sounding plotlines and does amazing things to them. A note: this is, no joke, not mpreg, so don’t let the baby thing scare you off.
Smallville: Clark/Lex
Te is a really talented writer. Her stories are guaranteed to be unique, complex and scortchingly hot.
Smallville: Clark/Lex with a side of Bruce Wayne.
Hot, long, plotty and interesting. I love the way Dana writes in the smallville universe. She’s always got an interesting take on the universe.
Smallville: Clark/Lex
Good writing, well paced, read everything, really. note: the fencing lessons series is linked halfway down the page.
Smallville: Clark/Lex
Pete’s POV, and light on the slash but really, really good.
Smallville: Clark/Lex
Don’t let the body switching throw you off, this story is hilarious and intense all at the same time.
Smallville: Clark/Lex
AU where Lex never went to Smallville. I think this is possibly one of philtre’s best written pieces. It’s got a good, complex plot and Batman cameos which is always fun, or you know, interesting at least.
Smallville: Clark/Lex
This story is among my top ten SV stories ever. It’s brilliant, such an amazing Lex. It’s disturbing, hot, utterly fascinating and so deep. I love the ambiguities and how open to interpretation it is. One of the best stories out there.
