apocalyptothon 2009 fics are being posted this weekend and though I've been away from blogging for awhile now, I'm going to do some recs. I love apocalypse fics. Here's the Masterlist of Fic.

ryhana wrote "Cold Snap", Harry Potter.
Summary: Something came back with the children when school broke for the summer, something evil.

It is delicious and shivery and frightening. I had goose bumps and chills after reading it.

Summary: Hermione Granger is a Gryffindor, and she isn't going to stop being brave or taking care of people just because everything has come crashing down.

This is another delightfully creepy story with a Hermione I really believed.

katemonkey wrote "The Rational World", Supernatural.
Summary: The rational world is the hardest of all.

Delicious, twisty Castiel and Ruby story which actually had me not disliking Castiel. The language is perfect.

afrocurl wrote "Whimper", Veronica Mars.
Summary: Wallace is the only one! Or how to potentially survive the Apocalypse.

This is sharp and slow at the same time, a slow build throughout the story which made my toes curl and my spine bow. I love Wallace here, and the burn down to the end of the world with a whimper.

entangled_now wrote "We Go In Waves", Pushing Daises.
Summary: In which Ned may have caused the apocalypse.

Olive's voice is done so well here, and the plagues creepy and terrifying. The end has just enough hope in the middle of the apocalypse that I was left smiling.

akire_yta wrote "Hard Light", Dresden Files (bookverse).
Summary: The morning after the world ends changes every morning after that.

It ends very abruptly, which both fits into the end of the world, but is also kind of frustrating because the whole of the story seems to be building to a fight that just doesn't happen. It's a wonderful story on the way, though, with some fantastic characterization.

eisoj5 wrote "Ghost Riders in the Sky", Harry Potter.
Summary: Ten years after Deathly Hallows, a new challenge looms.

Fantastic and creepy and slightly heartbreaking. The characterization is sharp and I am left with chills and the need for more.

missmara wrote "Aim for the Head", Bones.
Summary: Angela Montenegro had always been of the 'make love not war' type, but that didn't mean she wasn't ready and willing to make a couple head shots to protect her people.

Angela is fantastic, kick ass and smart and still so full of love. I love the energy of the apocalypse and the way she keeps fighting no matter what happens.

missmara wrote "The Good Fight", Bones/Angel.
Summary: Dr. Temperance Brennan had always thought she would be the last person to lose her mind completely...

The explanation for the Angel and Booth thing is kind of crazy, but pretty fitting for Angel, at least. I love the characterization, fighting vampires at the end of the world, and the team working together.

maharetr wrote "Out Beyond the Breakers", X-Men Movieverse.
Summary: The first time Rogue kisses her, it’s the end of the world.

It's Kitty/Rogue and zombies and fighting at the end and it gave me chills and made me want to cry and made me want to go fight things. Kitty's amazing here, both what she does and who she is, and the whole world crashing down around them they still fight. I love it.

originalpuck wrote "Howling at the Moon: The Party at the End of the World", Harry Potter.
Summary: The Marauders always swore that their friendships would mean more to them than their individual lives. Now that a disaster has struck, and creatures are nibbling on the few survivors, their bonds are tested and bent into something new and altogether less forgiving.

Sirius's voice is sharp and in character. The end of the world is amazing, twisted and wonderful, and the way the characters interact, the sacrifices they make, so perfectly spot on.

cjmarlowe wrote "I'll Never Forget the Way You Look Tonight", Supernatural.
Request: The apocalypse has nothing to do with angels, demons, or Winchesters. They just get to enjoy it.

Fun and funny and Dean being awesome and Bobby being bad ass and Sam fretting and aliens. I'm not really sure what more you could ask for from a story like this. It was fantastic.
