any recs?

[hoosierbitch]

Just got my period, so I'm bedridden for the day.

If anyone can think of any long (5k at the least) fics that revolve around insecurity/self-esteem/angsty-abusive-backstories, rec them please? They're like Midol for my brain.

A few fandoms I'm familiar with, and my fave characters in those fandoms: Avengers (Clint), Merlin & Merlin RPF (Arthur/Bradley), White Collar (duh, Neal), X-Men (Alex Summers), Leverage (Eliot), Str Trek Reboot (Kirk), or anything on my fandoms list. If in doubt, rec it? I am desperate...

ILU all.

Two of my favorites directly from my journal posts about them:

I have been devouring Avenger Tony/Steve fic. My focus is really this pairing only and my man Steve. I love how he's the man out of time. So I have to recommend a lovely portrayal of Steve and Tony pairing. This is from the Marvel big bang (and who knew about that - not me). It is In the Stillness of Remembering by elise_509. Tony and Steve are constantly at odds, trying desperately to understand the other and revolving around the point that they cannot accept - each other. The story starts out with them at cross purposes, then Steve's past comes to haunt him. He disappears and Tony follows after him. This is really a story focused on the characters and not just the Superhero part of it. Just when you think they've made the strides in the right direction, everything comes crashing down. Everything breaks a part and they are miles a part again. It takes the whole team to put them together again.

One of the most wonderful things about a good author is that they will sweep you away into their world and you will want more and more of it. Thus is the reason I am now hungrily devouring Avenger fic with Tony/Steve pairing (any rating - yes I am even reading fluff). The author is - of course the well known Shaenie. The series is Don't Look too Closely (all the angles are oblique) . I only decided to read the first story because it was written by Shaenie and I have a devotion to good (well extremely amazing authors). I read it and was hooked. This series is BDSM of the best sort.

Speaking of Shaenie, B, if you haven't read her WC/ST:AOS fusion fic "Breakdown in the Shape of Things to Come" yet, then what are you waiting for?

It's got plenty of angsty half-Vulcan Neal backstory plus mind-blowingly hot smex.

I 2nd, 3rd and 4th this rec. I avoided the ST fic cuz it's wasn't my thing, but Neal/Peter IS my thing, so I broke down and read "Breakdown...", and then, once I finished, I immediately starting reading it again. I have currently lost count of the number of times I've re-read the fic and it remains one of my all-time favorite fics kinda ever (there's a LOTR massive 30 part, with each part being multi-chaptered fic called "Greenleaf and Imladris" that is my all time favorite fanfic ever written). Anyone who is a Legolas fic fan should read it, but I digress...

"Breakdown in the Shape of Things to Come is amazingly, amazingly fantastic. Go! Read it now. Or, Re-read it now! ;-)
