Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Yudkowsky recced Carpetbaggers? That's.....interesting. Y'know, I bet it was one of those, "This is a fic that thinks through the implications of it's world better than the source," deals.

Because books.

Anybody who wants to give me non-AU Winter Soldier fic (such as what happens after the movie ends, etc.) would be awesome.

Possibly? He doesn't say, and I'm damned if I know where he got the rec, since the hits on that thing have been in dribbles for the last year.

It is nice to get hits, but damn, 800+ hits in the last 48 hours, and no comments at all. t sulks

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am confused by that man and that website. But I tend to be confused by rationality because I think that not considering emotions is actually irrational because people have emotions. But I did not read too far.

Yeah, I think I tried to read that story once, and gave up shortly into it. It's not that I think that story can't be told, but it's not doing what I usually want when I read HP fic, so I put it down.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

What I'd love from Winter Soldier post canon is some Natasha-centric gen. Or low-key Steve/Natasha. She was my favourite thing in the film and there doesn't seem to be much fic about her. I was trolling AO3 for fic then gave up after getting lost in a sea of Steve/Bucky and Steve/Sam (which I totally see good bases for in the movie! It's just not my thing.)

Amy, I have some things bookmarked as recs on AO3.

What mood are you looking for with it?


Amy - Jun 02, 2014 9:10:30 am PDT #8976 of 10434
Because books.

Angsty, angsty Bucky would be good. Even angsty Steve. Natasha taking care of things. Sex or not, doesn't matter.

I wouldn't mind some let's-work-off-our-stress Sam/Steve, either. Or Natasha/Steve, for that matter.

I have most of the above, probably. I can verify when I get home.

Cool beans. And many thanks!
