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 just read that and damn. That's... I'm just going to read more by the author. And Plei if you have any other recs like that can you send them my way?

Check my AO3 bookmarks? I think my pinboard may have some similar from SPN days, too.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I hate to barge into this scintillating discussion , but my fic Google fu has failed me.

I'm looking for a series of Arthur/Eames fics, and I don't recall a lot about them. It was a series that filled several prompts while maintaining an internal consistency. One of them was buried alive. Another was a ghost story that turned out to be a bad batch of somnacin, and I think the final one was on a train in Russia (and Brick was subtly Arthur's backstory) and there was a teenaged girl peripheral to the plot.

And, to be petty, the metal arm fisting could totally be Stony while Stark is in the suit. (Maybe I've just decreased my chances of getting a reply to my search... oops).

A lot of Sherlock omegaverse stories are pretty fucked up. If you don't mind a WIP that's already over 200k, have I got the fic for you.

Plei, what do you go by on AO3? I want to see which one you recced and if I've read it yet.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

JB, it's not Reach The Sea, is it? [link]

The way Tony tends to be written in fic, I just assume he'd notice the nonagenarians are shagging and build them all sorts of toys.

I found the AO3 recs (forgot your handle was the same as your LJ), don't think I found the story askye was talking about, though.

I think you can find it by looking for holmescest omegaverse with a web search, probably. I think it is on AO3. It was early enough in the fandom that a lot of stuff was still on LJ.

I am some variation on Minim Calibre everywhere fannish but here. Oh, and ff.net, where I set the name to Helene Smithee, because anything I would ever post there would be one of my disavowed things. But mostly, Minim Calibre.

Ah, that's okay; I don't do holmescest. Totally not my beautiful cake. Well, except for indybaggins Cake and Other Sins, and I'm still ambivalent about it. The only incest I ever hankered after was when BtVS writers would turn Spike into twins (Spike and William of course).

It's brutal, explicit in a not hot way, and a fascinating look into how things could work in the typical omegaverse framework. From an intellectual standpoint, one of my favorites in the fandom.

Wait, I think I know the one you're talking about. Maybe. Mycroft sorta accidentally bonds with Sherlock when he's real young, but then abjures him. John wants to get with Sherlock and is quite pissed that Sherlock's alpha isn't around to take care of him and doesn't even find out until the 2nd or 3rd story in the series that Mycroft is Sherlock's alpha. Is that the one?

Different one. This one was a one-off, and a lot darker.
