I've managed to give one of mine away!
Does that make me more specialer?

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.

I feel the need to pimp a fic I believe is seriously underappreciated. It's a Star Trek gen fic and so there just aren't as many communities to post it to, so it's not getting the traffic it deserves.
The Light of Distant Skies (gen, PG-13).
Summary: 16.45 years after Vulcan's destruction, the last light from Vulcan shines on an Earth on the verge of war, and on Starfleet officers facing decisions on whether to confront the enemy or seek out new life.

Sail, that was a remarkably good story. Thanks for posting the link.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The SPN thread is full of fan fic recs and anti-recs, but this one stood out to me recently: It's Always The End Of The World Somewhere. It's an NC-17 high school AU (Dean/Cas pairing), but if all that doesn't turn you off, it's really good. It's got some of the most complex AU Castiel characterisation I've read anyone accomplish. I've read a decent amount I've enjoyed recently, but when I consider recommending something to my sister who doesn't even watch the show, then I know I'm hooked.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The master list has been posted for the spn_summergen fics.
I wrote two fics for the challenge this year, Black Dog on My Shoulder Again, which is a Stanford-era fic where Sam gets pulled into a hunt. It's rather dark, and it draws on a number of things we learned in Season 5.
Fightin' Words is the closest I have ever come to writing crack!fic. Sam and Dean have any number of childhood traumas and hunts-gone-wrong that they don't talk about, not because of man!pain, but because of sheer embarrassment.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Those two just got bumped to the top of my list, Anne!

I don't know how to describe the fic I'm reccing today, except that it totally blew me out of the water and left me in tears for hours, despite the fact it's ostensibly a happy ending. It's just a must-read in my mind.
Snow Country. STXI, Kirk/McCoy, PG-13.
Summary: Jim dies and arrives in the afterlife to find that "eternity" is a single memory that he must choose from his lifetime. He also meets McCoy -- who died before the first mission ended, and who won't tell Jim why he hasn't been able to move into the afterlife ...
