Recs!

So, when I mentioned all my fandoms? I started noticing a pattern. I tend to like military-ish fandoms, where there are lots of fit boys and machine guns --- or, in the case of dueSouth and White Collar, well-dressed boys and handcuffs! Grimm's got a cop and a plucky sidekick, Generation Kill's got, well, everything, and I freely admit that I've got no idea what the Hockey RPF's got, but it apparently works? idk.

So this weekend I read some really kickass fanfic from The Losers, and I wanted to point people at them. (Your kinks are not my kinks, which is fine, please mind the warnings.)

First up is Walk a While With Me by [personal profile] ladyjanelly. 34k of Jensen being a hairdresser -- no, wait, come back, it's fine, I promise!! Jensen leaves the Army before he ever gets a chance to be a Loser. Cougar meets him anyway. This fic made me cry and bite my nails and wince and laugh and want to curl up protectively around them. You should read this, but only if you also read the warnings first.

Secondly -- and this one's long -- there's Team Dynamics, Family, and Other Things That Will Hurt You. This one? Yeah. This one's chock-full of hurts and issues and bad things happening to good people, but it's also 94k of Jensen's life and ... and I can't explain. Again, READ THE WARNINGS, but this made me soooo happy because we're all fucked up and the best we can hope for in this world is to find someone else who loves us anyway. Like they do.

"Jensen takes a deep breath and tears his eyes away from Cougar and puts them on the screen where Dora is smiling and giggling like she knows.

This is Dora's fault. It has to be. He's been brainwashed by her rainbows and Spanish. There is no other explanation."

Merlin Rec!

...and it's a DOOZY!!

Series: Loaded March (link goes to AO3)
Author: [personal profile] loaded_march
Fandom: BBC Merlin (though it's a modern AU, I guess you could think of other faces)
Rating: R to NC-17
Word count: 331,461 Not even kidding, folks. AND EVERY WORD WAS AWESOME.
Warnings: Modern AU, Military, BANTER! First meetings, a smidge of homophobia
Author Summary (part 1): The reason SAS Captain Arthur Pendragon can't keep a communications specialist in Team Excalibur is because none of them are good enough. And then Lieutenant Merlin Emrys gets assigned to his squad, and Arthur does everything he can to prove that Merlin isn't good enough, either. Except he is.

MY AWED SUMMARY: Read this. Read it now. Yes, yes, yes, it's in seven parts -- and four behind-the-scene snippets -- but this entire story is made of win. Don't let the word count scare you!! Each part can be read as a stand-alone, though you should probably read them in order to get the full "oomph" effect. The dialogue and banter are brilliant and the characters -- all of them! -- make me squirm on my seat with joy. There are plots that evolve and shift like you're watching a chess game played by masters. I stayed up till five in the freakin' morning just devouring the whole thing, my brain was so in love.

Just. Just do it, okay? I swear, it's good. And you know I don't swear much, okay??

NCIS rec!

I've got a list of authors' sites that I go back every once in a while and check. Because, like I say in my profile, if you've managed to hook me with your writing, I will follow you. Into other fandoms. Into other pairings. At this point, my "fandom" is spread out between shows/stories like a scant half-teaspoon of butter on rye. On the minus side, I don't have time to read all the wonderful recs and writings that come up on my flist. On the plus side, I'm *swamped* with wonderful recs and writings that come up on my flist!

This one took me three days and it is ohhhhh so good. 147,000 words. MIND THE WARNINGS!

Title: Two Wolves
Author: Xanthe
Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: Gibbs/DiNozzo
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Violence, rape/non-con, whipping
Keywords: Angst, hurt/comfort, drama, action, first time
Summary: "While investigating the disappearance of a Marine, Gibbs is abducted, sold, and forced to fight in a brutal tournament where the price of winning is almost as high as the cost of losing..."

Another Rec! Hahahahah!

Found this one for the Merlin fandom earlier tonight, and the dialogue voices had me in stitches the entire read. I highly recommend it, if you haven't read it before.

Series: The Road to Advancement (Link goes to AO3)
Fandom: BBC Merlin
Rating: PG (maybe pre-slash, if you have goggles on. Tinted ones.)
Word count: for the whole series ~ 30k
Summary: New Knight hopeful, Percy, has been at Court four months, but it might be another four years before Prince Arthur stops calling him Perrin. That's where Merlin comes in.

Dear god. So good. Ahaha. Hah. *wipes tears of laughter*
