I haven't read much Mentalist fic, but this, Five Ways Patrick Jane Hasn't Died Yet (And One Way He Never Will) totally got me. Bleak as all hell, obvious character death.
Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
How the hell did I miss a Mentalist story Dira posted? Maybe the premise scared me.
::emerges from month-long zombie state::
Jesus Christ on a pogo stick - I've just written a story that's 152,288 words long. Over five weeks.
That would be a 600 page novel.
::is astounded::
Damn, Fay. I can't imagine ever being able to get that many words out that quickly. I guess you really had a story you wanted to tell!
It was REALLY good! I am sorry it ended.
Oh, my goodness, Fay. That's spectacular. Go you!
Congratulations, Fay!
Whoomph! That must feel like a huge accomplishment and a relief to be done!
Oh, hell with it. I'll self-pimp a SPN piece I just posted the other day: Five People Dean Has Screwed Who Weren't Human, One Who Doesn't Count, One He Would Have Screwed, and One He Still Might .
The first part of the title was the challenge prompt almost word-for-word. Gets into serious dub-con territory, and is not fluffy despite the goofiness of the title.
And yes, it ends with Dean/Castiel
Fay - Link?
