Recommendations for all. Of my stuff. So.... yeah. Something.

In the midst of not having any fic for you, I have some recs. Sort of. Rather like old-time rock and roll, these are some of the oldies, things I've written before and that really need a little more love. Also, if you're here for Inevitable and Dawning Light, please stay for the rest!

I

Alice's Room (Firefly) : River lives in a world of her own... more true than even she knows. (In which I delve into the mind of a fragile, dangerous little girl...)

Different Eyes (Firefly/Anita Blake) : Serenity gets four new passengers and, as usual, things are not as they seem. (In which I create the strangest crossover ever. After all these many months, I still love this story. It's got all those elements that one might strike off as Mary Sue-isms, but it works, and mixing of the 'verses doesn't feel forced)

In The Key of Major Finn (Gilmore Girls/BtVS) : Years later, Lorelai liked to start the story like this: One sunny summer Connecticut day, Adonis walked into the Dragonfly Inn. Riley Finn and Lorelai Gilmore -- two messed up people who need someone, and he drops into her lap. This pairing came to me out of nowhere, and it's still so much fun to read.)

Obituary (Anita Blake/BtVS) : Beside a snowy grave in St. Louis, Joyce found the one person she never expected to see: her dead brother's missing son. (This story still makes me cry. Seriously.)

Booty Call (Anita Blake) : Anita's in a quandary. It's 3 a.m., she's hankering for some male companionship, and she has absolutely no idea how to pull this off (Set immediately after "Killing Dance"). (Back when Anita and Jean-Claude were still a new couple. This is one of the cute ones...)

Family Hour (Anita Blake) : Anita is about to meet Micah's family for the very first time... what could possibly go wrong? (In which I give Micah back story and make myself like him just a little more.)

Kryptonite in the Palms of Her Hands (SGA) : Teyla hadn't spoken in three days. (Sometimes, a challenge just makes you sit up and write something *good*. I wanted to write an alien story where things weren't fixed, didn't get better. This is it.)

Hey Little Sister (SGA/SPN) : John Winchester has no illusions about his family. That's why he's never told the boys where they came from. (Because the only thing cooler than John Winchester is John Winchester who is related to Elizabeth frickin Weir. Yes, I'm a Lizzie fangirl.)

Songs Across the Ocean (HP/SPN) : Even though he's still walking around, Harry Potter didn't really survive the war. (Because Harry Potter=John Sheppard is the hottest thing since sliced bread. And yes, I mix my metaphors.)

Darkness Waits (AB/LoTR) : Darkness may sleep, but she has seen all. (Okay, I take it back. This is the strangest crossover in the history of the universe.)

Hey Little Sister - this just rocks. /"I'm going to save the world." Maybe it was the alcohol, but in that instant, he believed she could do it./ Two of my favorite fandoms ever, combined in a non-cheesy package.
Different Eyes - oh, how I wish this was an epic about how they resettled before whatever happened with Earth That Was.
In the Key of Major Finn - I've never been a regular follower of GG (don't pelt me with tomatoes!) but your witty Lorelai banter sometimes makes me wish I was.
Alice's Room - creepifyingly good.
Kryptonite in the Palms of Her Hands - I like this for the way it makes me ache.
Songs Across the Ocean - all kinds of fun. I'm not sure why I like this so much, really. Maybe it's the mish-mash of angst, banter, Teyla/John and everything...
Darkness Waits - how can I not like this? Ah, LoTR...

Yippee! More fics to read! I think I've read most of these before, but I love to re-read! Sometimes I get fic cravings like others get food cravings...

Thanks for the recs hun *trots off to read*

[snippy]

I don't know Firefly, but I really liked Different Eyes.

I have always loved the John Winchester/Elizabeth Weir story "Hey Little Sister." I had always hoped you would right a sequel because it is a brilliant little story.

((((hug))))

I love Different Eyes -- everybody behaves the way you'd expect their characters to behave in that situation. And Anita's got one hell of a way of dealing with Reavers.

Booty Call -- yum. Anita needs to calm down. JC's learned over the centuries that freaking out is unproductive, no? Maybe Anita will figure this out too, after a few millenia go by.

Reminds me -- I need to get cracking again on this writing thing. Grrr.

another rec...

[(Anonymous)]

While I LOVE all of your recs (and have read most many times:) ) I wanted to rec something for you... The New Anita Blake. I was so mad at her last few books that I didn't want to buy it, but I ended up getting it anyway. I LOVED IT! It is exactly what I was hoping for! Seriously, go out and get it, you won't be disappointed!
:)

Or if you don't feel like buying it, at least plunk down at your big box bookstore of choice and skim through it for the Edward, Anita, and Peter interaction. Because there's just so much fic potential out there for conflicted, mixed-up Peter at age sixteen.

whee!~i'm glad i had no plans this evening.

i'm working my way along the list.

i hadn't read alices's room before and its really awesome and stunning. i think it'll take a few rereads for me to process everything that rocks about it, and have my final thoughts about it, but so far its on the 'freaking amazing' side of the scale.

different eyes is great. i really really loved the interactions between zoe and ashley, and the emotions you brought to life in zoe through them. my fav bit though will always be mal's reaction to the sack full of coffee.
