Fic Recs - Dark Angel and Supernatural (Het and Gen)

[twasadark]

I need to get my butt back to fic betaing, which I will do as soon as I post this.  I also need to podfic and finish my own fic and .... *puts hands over hears and sings la la la la* Anyhow, hope you enjoy ...

Dark Angel

the edge in your affection broke my skin by glamorous_nymph  (Max/Alec, Max/Logan, NC-17) - must join darkangelfic  to view. 
 A painful, well done story.  Poor Alec!!!!

Down There I Make My Name by Phina_Tera (Gen, Mature) This is a darker version of Alec than we see on the show, in a short, but well-written piece.  Although the story was brutal and violent I love the strangely touching ending.

nickeldime_17  is one of the DA authors whose LJ I am currently stalking.  She's written an impressive amount of fics - in fact, she wrote a story for every letter of the alphabet.  I wrote a note at the bottom of one of the fics I printed out: "Cute, snarky, delicious, and delightful."  That pretty much describes all of her stuff.  Her work is my happy place lately.  I haven't finished reading all of her work yet, but these are my favorite so far, all from the alphabet series:
From A to Z: Anything by nickeldime_17  (Max/Alec, rated K+) 
From A to Z: Open by nickeldime_17  (Max/Alec, rated T) 
From A to Z: Xerox by nickeldime_17  (Max/Alec, rated T)

I know musesfool 's work from Supernatural, so I about squeed my pants when I saw she was writing for DA.  My favorite so far has been The Hubbert Peak, which issaro  is podficcing right now (weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!) but this one is great as well:
The Trick Is to Keep Breathing my musesfool  (Max/Alec; adult)  - Summary: "I come here to be alone." "So, no different from anywhere else then, huh?"  Beautifully written, intimate, and totally satisfying. YUM!

I'm working my way slowly through minkmix 's stuff right now, so expect recs for them at some point

Supernatural

I have a thing for Dean/Ellen, which I indulged by asking for it in the spn_summerlove  challenge.  And I love what I got:  Found by author withheld until reveal (Dean/Ellen, PG-13) Summary: Summary: It’s not the Roadhouse, this isn’t her life, and maybe she’s a little bit thankful for that. Author's Notes: Very loosely, loosely based upon Homer’s Odyssey (like, this is to the Odyssey what Clueless is to Emma).

Every time you update with DA stuff I feel bad because I have like four half-finished DA fics languishing on my harddrive. THIS FANDOM NEEDS TO BE BIGGER.

Tsk tsk. Well, then you really should finish those, now shouldn't you ... :-)

And yes, this fandom needs to be MUCH bigger. I guess there's a pretty big community over at the Nuns With Pens site, but it's not very well organized and I don't think they post a lot of recs. That's how I usually find fics. I guess I should go over there and issue a plea for them ...

Anyhow, will hopefully finish your beta either tonight or tomorrow.

You're welcome! I spend WAY too much time reading fanfic. Sigh. Oh, well. I suppose there are worse things I could be doing. *schemes*

Let me know what you come up with when you are done scheming. ;)
