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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That Sherlock was delightful!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That Sherlock/Addams Family crossover is one of my favorite fanfics ever, honestly.

Thrive to spite them

It was really great!

Somewhere I followed a link to a Little House on the Prairie (book version) post zombie apocalypse story but now I can't remember where it was and I didn't finish reading it.

Did someone mention it here or know what I'm talking about?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

So, um, I used to write Trek smut. Then I started watching Buffy. And for all the fic-ability of that show, apparently I cannot put out more than 500 words of fanfic unless I have shouted "Oh, come on, I can do better than that!" at the television during a given show. Which means, of course, that for several years I have written precious little. Having been spoiled by the high quality writing of Mutant Enemy, my tolerance for crap tv writing has gone way down.

And then there's The Mentalist, which I stumbled upon and started watching this last season. I only said the magic words once, during one of the early, first-season episodes as I was catching up. But that was enough to do the trick. Sadly I must confess to a certain bias in 'ships - Jane/Lisbon. Here is a "five things" fic, [link] - "Five Red Herrings To Cut Down Mighty Trees: Four Conversations That Never Happened, and One That Might". Aside from that, there are a handful of cute little ficlets, and one monster of an angst-ridden work-in-progress.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jane/Lisbon? You're a sick woman.

Most of it is just flirty banter. Unhinged is not sexy.

ETA: He bought her a couch. I can't get my boyfriend to buy me a couch and I live with him. That sure as heck wasn't a fatherly gesture.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Hmm. I think I'd have to say he bought her a couch only in the most technical of senses. He upgraded her couch because he likes to lie on the couch and hers wasn't up to snuff.
