[fic recs] BtVS, Dead Like Me, Supernatural, X-Men

liz_marcs wrote "Reaping the Whirlwind (Boom Boom Ba Remix)", a Buffy/Dead Like Me crossover which is epic. No, I mean that. Really, truly epic. It has fourteen parts and it is amazing. The characters are sharp and their voices fantastic and I love the adventure of it.

Summary: What does the addition of supernatural-related reaps to the reaping workload, Roxy’s promotion, the addition of a new grim reaper with supernatural experience, a new sort-of boyfriend who may or may not be a pirate, and an approaching apocalypse all have in common? New grim reaper boss George doesn’t know, but she’s willing to bet that in the middle of it all the universe will kick her ass. Again.

musesfool wrote "Wake Up a Little Bit Braver (Duet for Beginners)", a Supernatural story about Sarah Blake and Jo Harvelle. I love Sarah here, learning to be strong and to make a difference, and Jo's line about women hunters having to stick together resonated with me.

Summary: Sarah hasn't felt safe since she met Sam Winchester and he turned the universe upside down.

vylit wrote "The Gospel of Robert Singer (The Heavenly Choir Remix)", a Supernatural story about Bobby and how a bible gets written. I love Bobby here.

Summary: Sam and Dean aren't the only ones with a gospel.

redshoeson wrote "After All (Dying Whispers, Desperate Murmurs Remix)", a Supernatural story about Jess and Sam hunting together and how one decision an change the whole of the world. Jess is amazing and the story heartbreaking.

Summary: AU – Jess contemplates her life as a hunter with Sam.

angelgazing wrote "Separation Anxiety (The Zombie Apocalypse Remix)", a Supernatural story about Dean and zombies and the end of the world. Dean's voice is fantastic here and I love the details of the zombies.

Summary: It's just typical. Anytime he and Sam are separated, one of them dies, or sells their soul, or is nearly sacrificed, or starts the apocalypse.

musesfool wrote "One Minute at a Time (Blast from the Past Remix)", a nonlinear Supernatural story about Sam and Dean helping out someone Sam knew from college. I love nonlinear stories and the energy in this one carries through nicely.

Summary: Sam and Dean help out one of Sam's college friends who's in trouble. Because that always goes so well for the Winchesters.

flyakate wrote "Postcards from the Edge (Three Chord Overdub)", a BtVS story which basically reduced me to this: Oh, Oz.

Summary: “Learning music by reading about it is like making love by mail.” -- Luciano Pavarotti

wizefics wrote "Imperfect Contrition (the "Skeletons in the Closet" remix)", an X-Men story about serial killers and detectives and, oh, it's just fabulous. I even love Jean here, which is unusual for me.

Summary: A killer stalks mutantkind.

kasuchi wrote "Before the Storm (The Roll of Thunder Remix)", a Supernatural story about Sam and Dean weathering the storms that roll through their lives. I love the sibling relationship here, the trust and the layers of it.

Summary: Winchesters are tougher than thunder, tougher than the dark, and we definitely don't worry about closets. Five thunderstorms in the lives of the brothers Winchester, and one in Dean's.

harmonyangel wrote "Logan's Infamous Canadian Sandwiches (The Young and Glorious Remix)", an X-Men story which captures Hisako and Pixie and all the horrors of being young and watching the people around you die very, very well.

Summary: Hisako can’t sleep. Pixie is perky. Logan makes sandwiches.

dsudis wrote "Warm Strangers (The Next of Kin Remix)", a Supernatural story about Bobby and death and the way hunters can't really stay apart from the people they save. It's a really gorgeous look at hunters and hunters as family.

Summary: He listens long enough to hear Monument, Colorado and then he hangs up, pulls back onto the road and starts driving.
