Still working my way through fic I've saved to read later. Here are a few recs.

( Glee )

( Little House series )

( Agents of Shield/Iron Man )

I've been meaning to post this for awhile, just adding to it and adding to it.

Glee

bana05 has been writing an amazing series of Mercedes/Sam stories that are just absolutely delightful. I already loved them as a couple, but this series is how I wish canon would go. (My heart.) And her Mercedes/Sam isn't the only good part. I love the ensemble pieces and Mike and Sam's friendship and the way the girls are friends, OH GOD, later, Mercedes and Santana, I will mark that one special. This series has really been the highlight of my summer; I don't comment enough, but every time I see a new one, I use it as a reward and a treat for me getting through some really rough times. AMAZING STUFF RIGHT HERE.

Then Came You

1. Beautiful Glow
2. Secret Makes It Better
3. Expert Advice
4. Already Gone
5. Dancing Royalty (Glee club dance party!)
6. Seasonal Considerations (Mercedes and Quinn friendship, MY HEART!)
7. Sugar for Lemonade
8. Before Bedtime (Sexy phone times!)
9. Starlight
10. Prescient Matters
11. To Burst the Bubble (Glee club friendships, MY HEART.)
12. Tabloid Fodder (Mercedes is BADASS, the Glee girls are amazing, and my heart grew three sizes with the awesome of this one.)
13. Tune Ups (Sexy, sexy times.)
14. Full Circle (FRIENDSHIPS and flirting and awesome.)
15. On the Hot Seat (Mercedes' family is fabulous.)
16. Mythical Fences (Friendships! Homecoming! Brittany being amazing! I am filled with joy!)
17. Altar Call (My heart, my heart.)
18. Thinking Before Leaping (Mercedes has some tough things to say to Sam, and this story really hit home for me.)
19. Before It's Too Late
20. Refreshing Fat (More friendships and flirtation and sexy times.

bana05 really nails the friendships and the dynamic of glee club here.)
21. Study Sessions (SEXY TIMES.)
22. Sticks and Stones and Short Cuts (This is the Santana and Mercedes story for me, but god, friendships and love and Mercedes and Santana have amazing women in their lives. TW: racist slurs, fat slurs.)
23. Family Ties (God, the ways family can hurt us too.)

Do yourself a favor and go read every bit of this series. It has all the things I want most in Glee fics: amazing friendships between the Glee girls, Mercedes getting love, Lauren/Puck and their awesome badassery, the glee club learning how to be an actual team, families being important, Mike getting solid friendships -- I love this so, so much.

Harry Potter

Cho Chang and the Jasmine Code by

xenokattz
Summary: (Set between Half-Blood Prince & Deathly Hallows) Before returning to help her former schoolmates in the Battle of Hogwarts, Cho Chang fought against Voldemort & his follows in a more covert manner.

This is amazing, beautiful. Cho is such a fleshed out character here, and the cover way she fights is perfect. I love this story.

Criminal Minds

The C in the Capwell Hotel (JJ/Garcia)
Summary: They had known each other almost exactly six months. JJ thought about an anniversary gift but wondered if it would be inappropriate.

callmesandy wrote this for me for Femslash 11, and it is delightful, charming and sweet and funny.

I have a ton of fic to rec (lots of Mercedes/Sam stories in particular), and even more to read, because I've mostly been away from LJ lately (and if you have any fic recs or links to your own fic, I'd love them), but I literally was sitting here thinking how much I wanted to read a Lauren fic when I found this, so I'm reccing it right away, in case you, too, need your Lauren fic needs met.

"Ambush" by

salmon_pink, Lauren/Santana
Summary: They don't play nice.

Hot and fun and rough, just how I like it.

I am doing work from home tonight, because we lost some work hours to the tornadoes here (I'm fine, office is fine, home is fine), so I don't get to do the fannish writing I planned to do, but I wanted to quickly share this fic.

"Adonis" by

jailynn24
Rating: Adult
Summary: School was out for summer.

jailynn24 wrote it for me when I requested a story based on a paradise icon she has, and it was a delightful surprise to come home to tonight. It's hot and hilarious; I love the way Lauren and Puck tease each other, giving as good as they get, and I love the way paradise is worked throughout the story.

I have been craving more Lauren and Puck fic (I love writing it, but I want to read it, too), and this was fun.

First, insta-rec: "How to Be a Doper Person (The Answer: Puppies)," Lauren/Puck by

skintightsocks

Summary: It's tiny and fluffy and has giant eyes and Puck falls pretty much instantly in love. He's a badass, okay, but he's been learning that he can be a badass and still have feelings, and, well, Puck's always been a sucker when it comes to animals. Which is why he tucks the dog under his arm and scales the fence behind the pound while he's having a "getting to know you" session with her.

It is AMAZING and I have hearts in my eyes.

( Glee spoilers )

Glee poly family is my OTP.

Summary:

Never let it be said that Santana doesn't do anything for anybody. She's a damn humanitarian. A gayitarian.

Also, she's pretty sure this is going to traumatize at least one individual, and she enjoys that.

So much ridiculous, ridiculous drunken fun. As always, Lexie's writing is fab.

Adorable.

I love Brittany here so much.

Booze is Not the Answer by inthehat
Summary: Mike, Tina, and Mercedes (and Matt, long distance) set about cheering up Santana.

Love this story of friendship.

So Tumblr's down. For someone who doesn't actually know how to use it, I sure am disappointed. All the pretty pictures. And also some good meta. (I'm escritoireazul there too, of course.) I am too tired and sick for writing or thinking or doing anything but blankly staring at the screen, alas.

Grab a Drink, Take a Seat by Anonymous
Summary:

glee_fluff_meme fill, Lauren gives Rachel another view of drunks.

This is seriously, seriously, seriously the most awesome "Blame It On the Alcohol" fic I've read. Lauren is so freaking badass and Rachel is ADORABLE. I wish this was canon for the show and for my poly fic, because it is perfect. I literally beamed so hard after I read this people asked what good news I'd received. I just want to squish this fic to my heart. (SO SAD I don't know who the author is so I can read more.)

Speaking of the poly fic, I have two more sections in progress, but my brain just can't handle writing so far this week. Ugh, I hate colds so much. SO MUCH. Maybe this weekend I will finish both the Mercedes/Quinn and the Quinn, Lauren, and Puck deal with Beth stories. Then maybe I can finally get to the Tina/Mike sex scene in the badass foursome story.

Oh yeah, and at some point, I need to type up what I have done for my Remix and figure out if I can really handle a Remix idea that looks like it might hit 8k to 10k accidentally.

OMG NEW MAKE IT OR BREAK IT. TV GYMNAST GIRLFRIENDS ARE BACK!

Why does writing never click until after nine and then I want to stay up to finish? Or maybe I should ask why must I work day jobs? Whatever, I have been writing over lunch and have pages and pages of Remix done, and tonight I finally started another theme-meme fill. I was beginning to think I had lost the urge to write Glee fic, but no, found a prompt that made me cackle, it was so awesome.

"Sea of No Cares" by

poisontaster
Summary: On a world without stars, he took to the sea.

Gorgeous Wash backstory.

Art: New Directions girls and Kurt in lingerie.

Fic writing is going slow tonight. (I did finally remember to bring home that Mercedes half-finished story, but now it is less half-finished and more what did I get myself into? Perhaps I will break it off at this one scene and leave the stuff I have no idea how to handle for a sequel. It's a part of the big poly fic anyway, there are lots of random scenes in their lives.) Instead of fic, have some recs.

tinylegacies has a bunch of really awesome "Original Song" icons. I have uploaded a bunch to LJ; I'm at my DW limit already.

Speaking of Glee poly fic, I found some that made me grin. (And made me want more.)

spin a bottle, smash a glass by Anonymous and Untitled by Anonymous
Prompt: (summarized) As adults, the glee poly group decides to pair off to get married for benefits. They pick partners by spinning a bottle.

Two awesome fills. Ridiculously cute, with a couple very heartbreaking moments. I am so sad I can't read more fic by these authors. DO WANT.

It's Sunset and Vine (Or What Blaine Anderson Doesn't Say) by

tara1031
Summary: They’re in the backyard, Blaine’s thirteen and on his spring break during his first year at St. Ignatius Boys’ Day High School and Drew’s spray painting an old wooden office chair they’d found in a dumpster three towns away. They’re both wearing paint masks and Blaine’s covered in dirt and no one from school would recognize him now, no sir.

I freaking love the characters in this, Blaine and Kurt and the original characters, Blaine's brother Drew, and Bagel. Awesome nonlinear story, too.

Lord, What Fools These Mortals Be by

videlicet90
Summary: For this prompt on the

glee_fluff_meme: "...Epic crack about Santana's quest to brave the labyrinth-like maze of sewers under Lima to rescue her girl."

So freaking much fun! I love Santana's epic quest and also the sharp perfection of her voice.

Untitled by

snorkellingfish
Prompt: Brittany gives Blaine the "hurt him you die," speech in her sweet more than slightly spacey way, because he's her favorite ex-boyfriend because of all the facials she got. (This was prompted and filled back in November, because I am still catching up on fanfic from before I was sucked back into the show.)

Hilarious. Unbelievably hilarious. Also, awesome.

Relationships: Will Schuester/Sue Sylvester
Characters: Will Schuester, Sue Sylvester, Shannon Beiste
Summary:

Will shaves his head, gets drunk with Sue on a Friday night and makes an impulsive decision. It’s what happens next, though, that he really needs to worry about. Featuring appearances by Will’s concerned BFF Shannon Beiste, a bottle of Johnnie Walker, fruitcake, verbal banter, Sue’s $1600 coffee maker and the Cleveland Browns (although not all at once).

This was amazing. I can't stand Will and Sue is a bad parody of her former self these days, but holy shit, this fic. This amazing fic.

I don't tend to rec stories that are incomplete (if it is a series and the individual stories work as stories, I rec those, but not WsIP), mostly because I don't tend to read them. (I get really disappointed when a story isn't finished, so I just wait until the end.) However, I am reading a lot of WsIP lately, and I will rec them when they are complete.

So awhile back there was this interview with Ashley Fink, who plays Lauren Zizes. (I believe you know my feelings on Lauren Zizes.) (Spoiler: Good feelings.)(Spoiler: In my pants.) And then I read this interview.

Who's your dream guest star?
Seth Green has been my ultimate celebrity crush -- well actually it was Raphael from 'Ninja Turtles' but then I realized I can't. But then it was Seth Green. I have his action figure. I've avoided meeting him left and right because I'm nervous. I've heard from everyone that he's the nicest person ever, but I would be such a geek. Seth Green would be my flip over. It would be my N'SYNC moment.

OMG Fink, want to be my BFF? I will totally bond with you over both of those crushes. (RAPHAEL <3<3<3) (And again, you all know my feelings on Seth Green.) (Spoiler: Good feelings.)(Spoiler: In my pants.) The down side is she says to trust the show. Yeah, no.

Uh, speaking of celebrity things, which I rarely do, Glee Twitter Fight Club Part One and Glee Twitter Fight Club Part Two. I love that they have so much fun while working.

(In case you missed it, my weekend was bookended with posting fic: "Another Confession to Make" (crossover with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veruca, Lauren/Puck, Tina/Mike, Brittany/Santana, Blaine/Kurt) and "Re: Re: beta" (Sam, Quinn, Lauren gen [Lauren/Puck, Sam/Santana, Sam/Quinn]).)

Summary:

Since Blaine dropped his botched attempt at being a mentor, he and Kurt have kissed twice. Once, chastely, for a stupid repeat game of spin the bottle, and once, this time both illegally tipsy, in the backyard of Sam Evan's house. Back then, they had both agreed that the kiss had been a mistake. Lately, Blaine hasn't felt so sure about that.

Blaine's voice here is amazing and his family incredible.

Jesus, this is awesome. It's hilarious and entertaining and sweet and then flat-out gut punch awesome of how the world works and how people do shitty shitty things without even realizing they are doing it. (I'm a little in love with David and Wes.)

Between the writing and the reading and the watching, I am not certain I haven't fallen into Opposite World. (Opposite world needs to warm the fuck up.)

Prompt: Finn is trying to find something in Kurt's room and stumbles on his vibrator. He's pretty confused about what it's for until someone explains anal sex to him. He's terrified for his new stepbrother…

The scene where Finn goes to talk to the Berrys about sex filled me with so much delight I had to reread it four times before I could finish the story. Excellent Finn characterization, too.

Gobling Queen by

lennoxave, Brittany/Santana, Puck
Summary: Basically, Britt gets lost in the sewers over the summer because she was kidnapped by the Goblin King. Santana (with an assist from Puck) goes to save her.

(NOTE: This is not a Labyrinth crossover, which I originally thought. Just so, uh, you~~r heart doesn't get broken like mine~~ know.) This is pretty fabulous and hilarious and Santana is wonderful, though there's a kinda sketchy bit about a dude being just like a girl because of his hair, hahaha. You know, basically what the show does all the time. And it's not as bad here, but it still made me frown. Still, Santana is badass.

Prompt: Puck realizes that Tina is the only Glee girl he has not dated, made out or had sex with. He wants to rectify that situation. Tina agrees but on her terms. She likes to top.

Holy sweet hell, people, this is beyond hot and Tina is amazing, confident and toppy and comfortable with loving sex and dear god, this hits my snarky badass who ends up bottoming to an awesome woman kink really, really hard. And she's so freaking competent. God, this fandom needs a lot more of Tina pegging the boys. Shit.

(I am so going to have to write that Lauren/Puck/Tina/Mike foursome thing I was already considering after the fic I posted last night.)

Green Eggs and Ham (Or Five Times No One Expected Sam to Reference Dr. Seuss and The One Time They Did But He Didn't) by

akirarabu, Sam
Rating: All ages
Summary: The first time Sam quotes Dr. Seuss, no one gets it.

Freaking hilarious. Nerd!Sam will never not be something I love. I wish more of his friends embraced it, and that we got to see that embracing of it on the show.

Sleepover by

heroes_and_cons, Kurt and Blaine
Rating: 13+
Synopsis: Post-Rachel-house-party-extravaganza, a very inebriated Blaine spends the night at Kurt's.

Freaking adorable and funny and sweet. Drunk!Blaine makes me grin and want to be BFFs. Actually, no, sober!Blaine does too. I find him ridiculously, awkwardly charming. Be my BFF, Blaine? And this story is delightful.

5 Times Blaine Misunderstands (and Totally Isn’t Jealous) and 1 Time Kurt Can’t Take His Stupidity Anymore by

jujuberry136, Kurt/Blaine
Rating: 13+
Summary: Wherein the Dalton boys mess with Blaine’s head and Blaine is really kind of an idiot.

A) Dalton boys are fabulous. B) I love getting to see Kurt being friends with the glee girls still. C) Blaine is so ridiculous and so awesome. Awkward, bumbling, oblivious Blaine just makes me want him for my BFF even more. Excellent funny story about how romance can go so very wrong and also so very right.

Fairytale of Ohio (Cause This Year's For Me and You) by

d_generate_girl, Kurt/Blaine
Rating: 13+
Summary: Kurt sticks his foot in his mouth, Blaine has holiday-related issues, and everyone else thinks it's about damn time they got their acts together. Not to mention Coach Sylvester and her interrogations, which may or may not resemble anything performed in Guantanamo Bay.

This story is amazing. AMAZING. Delightfully funny and sweet and wonderful.

Puckasaurus and Quinnzilla by Anonymous, Quinn and Puck
Rating: All ages
Prompt: Puck and Quinn using Quinn's baby-bump as landscape for dinosaur toys. Puckasaurus and Quinnzilla conquering... this land. Not necessarily romance, more friendship.

Freaking adorable and a little heart breaking, knowing what happens with Beth. And how much do I want some more about the fact that last year they had a freaking kid? I would say I want the show to deal with it, but I'm not sure I do. I don't trust the show. But fic dealing with it, hell yeah.

Great segue, actually.

Summary:

Artie just friended on the guy he spied on sort of dating one of his friends. It's not meant to get so complicated from that. Facebook!fic.

I had no idea I could enjoy a fic set on Facebook so much, but this made me cackle and grin. (If you have any recs for fic with similar style, I would love it.)

Well I Guess This is Growing Up by

videlicet90, Quinn & Santana
Rating: 13+
Summary: Basically, Quinn and Santana room together in their freshman year of college and have wacky hijinx.

Sharply funny, with a little bit of sweet beneath the biting wit. I love their friendship here.

Just the Way You Are by

tamakito, Kurt & Finn
Rating: 13+
Warning: Homophobia
Summary: Kurt is an awesome brother and Finn loves him, he really does. He just wishes Kurt weren’t gay.

God, you guys, this is amazing and heartbreaking and wonderful. I basically hate Finn in the show, but here he is really interesting, even if it's horrible the way he can love Kurt so much and love his new family so much and still have these really horrible thoughts because that's the way the world influences us. God. So good.

Last Friday Night by

miggy, ensemble
Part One | Part Two
Rating: 13+
Summary: Okay, so they somehow got left behind after Nationals (of both kinds). Kurt's pretty sure this isn't his fault; after all, they were the ones who proposed getting him drunk.

Freaking hilarious. I almost choked, I was laughing so hard.

Okay, it's a rainy gray Sunday and I'm not watching the Oscars tonight, though I'll probably read some liveblogging, so here's some fic recs.

Thunderheart

If you want Thunderheart fic, I highly recommend

carlyinrome's stories, because they are gorgeous. This one is particularly sweet.

"And He Kissed Me til the Morning Light" Ray Levoi/Walter Crow Horse. It is so sleepy and sweet it made my heart grow ten sizes, guys.

Glee

Untitled by Anonymous (Um, as much as I'm enjoying the memes, dude, I realize now how much I dislike anonymous fic when the author won't be announced. It really messes with my need for organization.) Puck's little sister writes a letter to Shelby Corcoran because Puck really misses Beth. Speaking of my heart growing ten sizes, god. I've already been writing about the littlest Puckerman, but now I kinda want to read all the fic about her ever.

(This does remind me I had a question; she's canonically unnamed, correct? I keep seeing a lot of Sarah, which makes sense, but I wanted to double check if that was her actual canon name.)

Warblers Meet New Directions by Anonymous
OMG You guys. I love the Warblers SO MUCH and am heartbroken that we won't get much more of them, I assume. This has comforted me somewhat because it is so amazing. I love these Warbler boys a lot and seeing them interact with New Directions makes me happier than I can say. It's adorable and funny and sweet.

Untitled by Anonymous
Dalton may have a zero tolerance policy, but the Warblers have no qualms about dissing New Directions in cruel and horrible ways, until Kurt goes all ice cold badass on them.

I didn't want to like this one, because as I have mentioned, I love the Warblers SO MUCH, but Kurt is amazing here, sharp and cold and loyal and fabulous, so I do.

Untitled by Anonymous
Blaine's having a bad, bad day, at least until Brittany figures out his deep dark secret: He's Harry Freaking Potter. You guys, this was HILARIOUS.

"counting down the ways" by

svz_insanity, Mike/Tina
Summary: Five times Mike fell for Tina before they got together and the one time Tina realizes she returned his feelings.

Tina and Mike are SO AWESOME here. So very, very awesome. And the meta digs at the show made my day.

"Tear the Roof Off the Sucker" by

lennoxave
Summary: Basically, New Directions and the Warblers get funkified before Regionals, and they join forces to get Vocal Adrenaline back.

I would do so many things to make this mash-up happen. OMG so many things. This is amazing and wonderful and just reading about the mash-up gave me chills. (Note: There's a bit in there about Kurt and god that made me give the side-eye.)
