What story were you reading so I can avoid like the plague?
On a different note, I've been, because Bitchin' Party, re-reading a LOT of fake dating and therefore need recs if you've got 'em.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There's a pretend relationship tag on PolyRecs, if that helps.
It was "Dumbledore's Army and the Year of Darkness". I really want a proper "Neville Longbottom, leader of the motherfucking resistance" story, so I gave it a shot. I didn't regret it until that last section, though. Much more gruesome than in Rowling's original.

There's some cool stuff there, but it should be recognized as an AU because the characterizations are just way off, and very Marty Stu.

I wrote a thing. [link]
I don't know WHY I wrote a thing, but I wrote a thing.
I lie. I know why I wrote a thing: I wrote a thing so I could avoid writing the other things.

Dude. There are only 35 stories in that fandom.

Maybe it's a small fandom because there's no need for fix-it fic or alternate pairings?

Quite possibly! It did have a surprisingly active Yuletide this past year, but surprisingly active in this case meant three additional stories, two of which were written for me.
It's one of those sources where it seems like, for a lot of us, there's not an immediate rush to go read or write something, but we're generally pretty pleased if we stumble across it.
There are only 17 for the actual canon pairing. I think the rest are all the weird crossover ones. Even some of the 17 are weird crossover ones.
(Technically, I have written in smaller fandoms. But Divas Las Vegas isn't something anyone but me actually saw a need to write or read, and that was just a couple hundred words of ridiculous vs. a couple thousand words of fluff.)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
So...I just started a Sleepy Hollow/Ninth Doctor crossover fanfic to fix the mess that was the Sleepy Hollow finale. Because why not?

Woo! That's what fic is for!
My recipient loved their surprise NYR fic. Yay! I have written 500+ words since 2:30 pm in the same fandom. Which was supposed to be one-and-done.
Oops? (I don't have an infinite number of variations here like I do with Push. I just have a particular post-canon space I want to play in with a bunch of interconnected stories.)

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.
WooHoo, crossover! Or maybe that should be WooWho!
