Favorite Stories of 2014
Dec. 25th, 2014 03:34 pmIt's been a few years since I've made a favorite fics of the year posts. I thought it was time to start it again. Sorry if my reviews aren't all that great, I try very hard not to give spoilers, and I sometimes hit that point where it's hard to find new ways to say a story is amazing...The stories are listed in no particular order.

Stargate Atlantis and Thor recs
Nov. 23rd, 2014 11:47 amStargate Atlantis
canis_lupus - Decade INSTANT REC!!! I could not stop reading this story once I started. I loved seeing the expedition members from the pov of Jack O'Neill and figuring out what had happened during the 10 years Earth lost contact with the Atlantis expedition.
Thor
Arvensis5 - Tapestry I loved seeing all the "what if" threads of fate and the character voices.
CatKing_Catkin - Days and Steps INSTANT REC!!! I loved this series, the character voices felt spot on, the recovery for Loki worked for me, and I loved how Loki and Thor learned how to be brothers again. Parts of this series made me cry, which was awkward because I was on jury duty while reading the fic.
I planned to have more recs this week, however since Pinboard went down a few days ago, my "Pinboard to Dreamwidth" script hasn't quite worked. I've made test bookmarks but they aren't being pushed out to my Dreamwidth account.

It took my grandparent asking why I hadn't posted to my LJ/DW in so long for me to realize it's been well over a month since I've posted any recs.
I was distracted by Escapade and going to Texas for a week during Spring Break. Plus I'm learning how to ski this winter. :)

Lay Me Down So by lovesrain44 (Pairing:Sheppard/McKay) I could not stop reading once I started. I loved the detail of the prison camp and I almost cried more than once.
X- Men
The Winter of Banked Fires by Yahtzee (Pairing:Xavier/Magneto Pairing:Rogue/Wolverine) INSTANT REC!!! I could not stop reading this story once I started.

Wonder Woman Vid Rec

This is about a months worth of recs...I think this may be my only rec post for the month of February and second post of the month. I think school is keeping me far too busy. That and re-watching all of Farscape...I'd forgotten how awesome this series was and I'm having a tough time finding good fan fiction in the Farscape fandom.
Fullmetal Alchemist
Sex Ed Teacher by skydark - The Adventures of Roy Mustang (Pairing:Ed/Roy) INSTANT REC!!! I had a blast reading this story. I don't think I've laughed this much from the antics of the characters in forever. I highly recommend reading the sequel, Better Living Through Alchemy and the 3rd story in the series is a WIP so read that one at your own risk. Basically, this was an all around fun story to read and I loved the character voices.
Window Dressing by thehoyden (Pairing:Ed/Roy) This was short but I loved the Roy's character voice and Ed's was spot on. :)
You and Your Fuck Awful Timing by lightgetsin (Pairing:Ed/Roy) I loved the character voices and the progressions in the story. :)
DCU
Ties That Bind by thehoyden (Pairing:Bruce/Dick Tim/Kon) This was hot and funny. :)
Stargate Atlantis
Character Witness by mad_maudlin I LOVED the premise and the character voices. This was short but said a lot.
Merlin
These Castle Walls Bleed Lies by marguerite_26 (merlin/arthur) INSTANT REC!!! I loved the character voices, the plot, and I loved the ending.
Doctor Who
The Swan Princess by Mad_Maudlin (Pairing:Amy/Rory) I loved this fusion and the character voices were spot on and Rory was so awesome. :)
Harry Potter
In Loco Parentis by Dolores_Crane (Pairing:Hermione/Harry Harry/Snape) INSTANT REC!!! This wasn't like any Harry Potter fic I've read in ages. It's probably because it's told from Hermione's pov but it also it touches on some much deeper issues and I could not stop reading once I started. I'll also add that one part made me cry.
Inception
Rough Trade by whiskyrunner (Pairing:Arthur/Eames) It starts off with hot sex and just gets better. :)
Supernatural
One Brick at a Time by nutkin (Sam/Dean Sam/OFC) This was very hot. I loved the build up and the ending really worked for me.
Worship Not These False Idols by killabeez (Sam/Ruby) I loved Sam's pov and the sex was hot.
Some (Don't) Like It Hot by strangeandcharm (Pairing:Castiel/Dean Pairing:Castiel/Sam) I loved the concept and this was hot. :)
