I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

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.

You can't have a headcanon about a real person!

That was my favorite line!

I love that fic too! So hilarious.

I'm going to preface this with these two fics shouldn't work, and it was unbridled curiosity that prompted me to read the first one. But they're so great!

Such an Old-Fashioned Word and the sequel Less than Kind.

They're Good Omens / Hannibal crossovers. No murder hijinks, and you don't need to have seen Hannibal. They're oddly sweet.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Ooooooh. That worked shockingly well!

I have a GO fic rec, but I feel like it needs some caveats. (Or maybe I feel defensive about loving it so much!) I'm really not a fan of fics where Aziraphale and Crowley are human, whether it's within the GO-verse or in an AU. And, in fact, I don't care for AUs in general. So, by those standards, I should never have liked this fic, but someone whose opinion I trust recommended it, and I reluctantly checked it out, and I am head over goddamn heels for it.

Slow Show. It's an AU where Aziraphale and Crowley are actors on the same TV show. (Absolutely *not* RPF, to be clear. Definitely an AU of the characters.)

It's not complete, if that matters to people (I know some folks don't like reading WIPs). There are 10 of 12 chapters up. I love it ridiculously.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I could probably google, but was there a Yuletide this year? Are there recs? I miss the days when shrift and Dana read all the fics so I didn't have to!

Polyamorous Recs is still a thing, but I don't know that they've reviewed Yuletide stuff yet. [link]

My subscriptions went a little crazy with unexpected fandom fic toward the end of the year, so I suspect that Yuletide happened.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ha ha, we have not made a yuletide update yet.

Yuletide definitely happened, but I've been sick since December 24, so I'm behind on reading. I have many, many bookmarks, though.

Here's the 2019 collection: [link]

I will say, this is one of those quintessential yuletide stories, and it is hilarious.
