Eighth-horizon's been writing some SPN wingfic. pt. 1, 2, and 3

Actually, it might even have been in LOTR RPS; I don't read either so I coldn't say.

...er, yes there was.

::looks shifty::

Not that I read it. At all. Obviously. Er. Because I never read LotRiPS. No sir. Not me. Um.

Mostly wingfic as a subgenre makes me go ???? because it seems so bloody random a thing. Or at least - well, no, I dare say everyone has had dreams of flying, because flying sounds cool...but then there are other equally cool things, you know? By that logic there should by rights be an equal volume of wake-up-invisible fanfic, for example. (If not wake-up-a-beetle fanfic.)

I've read a couple of stories in which characters grew wings - something in SGA, something in SPN, something in LoTRiPS, but that's about it. I mean, it's interesting enough as a cracktastic what if. But as a kink, it's slightly surprising to me. I suppose there's the whole wings-being-soft-and-touchable business? Or the whole sense of angelicness, and fallen angels, and all that? Or - actually,this is silly of me, isn't it? No fathoming the twists and turns fannish kinks will take. (Big Gay Penguins, for example.)

Ah, fandom. How I love thee.

...meanwhile, I am now quite tempted to write beakfic myself. Just because. Or maybe chickenfeet fic.

Heh.

I am now quite tempted to write beakfic myself. Just because. Or maybe chickenfeet fic.

do it! do it!

Please?

SA'd know, I bet.

Is it this? [link]

or this [link]

or possibly this [link]

but I have a strong bet that it's this [link]

though it might very well be this [link]

as I recall this one was kind of funny [link]

and this is getting embarrassing, so I'm going to stop.

There's one particular nsync story (of the many, many good ones that are out there) that still sticks with me, because it was futuristic cyberpunk noir wingfic and really quite moving and beautiful. I'll have to go back and find it when I'm at my computer.

it was futuristic cyberpunk noir wingfic

...God, I love fandom.

Don't you just?

The scenario was that it was the future and there was an underground group of young people who competed in fast-flying competitions, getting wings surgically implanted on their frames. Lance was a detective hired to find a missing man, who turns out to be JC (or maybe Justin; fandom writes them similarly a lot of the time and I can get them confused), competing in the competing. It of course developed into sex. and slash. And Lance got sucked into the world of the competitors. Great story.

SA,

a) bouncebouncebounce -- thanks for the links.

b) The one Plei mentioned was killer SPN RPS Wingfic-- do you know where that might be?

(I said I had wingfic issues already, didn't I?)

Oh! SPN RPS. Hmm. Let me nose around.

For those who liked "Freedom's Just a Word for Nothing Left to Lose", the post-series SGA story about Rodney in academia, Syn just posted a sequel.

and this is getting embarrassing, so I'm going to stop.

Don't stop! At least not until you've found the J/J one with the wings for Lee.
