Lots More Dark Angel Recs

I'm motivating myself to continue work on my DA fic by posting a bunch more recs. I will add them to my Max/Alec master post and my Everything-But-Max/Alec master post too.

Max/Alec


The Cure by [livejournal.com profile] lusmeitli (Max/Alec, PG-13) Summary: This is another take on 'the cure' situation, but with an additional twist. Funny and sweet - drunk!Alec FTW!

Nightly by [livejournal.com profile] lusmeitli (Max/Alec, PG-13) Summary: We learn a little about what Max is doing (and thinking whilst doing it) when she thinks no one's looking. Sweet, loving, and tender.

Untitled by [livejournal.com profile] _plastiqueink (Max/Alec, unrated) Very short, very good. So bittersweet.

Mixed Signals by [livejournal.com profile] dazedizzy (Max/Alec, PG-13) Summary: Alec finds out some very interesting things from Logan about Max. Yum!

Gen

Flower Child by amandak (Gen, unrated) - Cute story about out-of-control Alec. Features Joshua and Max.

One Sherrif at the Time
by amandak (Gen, unrated) - Solid action fic featuring Alec.

Wake Up Call by [livejournal.com profile] elishavah (Gen, unrated) Alec, Max, OC - about friendship and trust. Very enjoyable.

Glitch by [livejournal.com profile] minkmix (Gen, PG) Summary: Despite the lengths which he painstakingly took to explain the details, a girl would think the gist of his master plan would be crystal by the time he was through. That never seemed to be the case. Sweet story with a vulnerable Alec and a helpful Cindy.

Check by [livejournal.com profile] minkmix (Gen, PG) Summary: An evening in at the Cale residence. Cute and rather quirky, I like how it demonstrates the differences between X-5's and Ordinaries so perfectly.

Slash

Young by [livejournal.com profile] downfall35 (Alec/Logan, PG) Drabble fic that is sweet and romantic. Kissing fic.

Created in Image by [livejournal.com profile] amory_vain  (Ames White/Alec, sort of. Implied past Alec/Others; unrated but includes references to torture, sexual tension).  Intriguing!

Dark Angel Prompt table fics by [livejournal.com profile] amory_vain  (Alec/Logan, unrated) All short and related to one another, well written and deliciously angsty. There are 10 up so far. Maybe if we leave lots of comments she'll write more of these soon?

Lessons Learned
by [livejournal.com profile] mickeym (Alec/Biggs, PG-13) - Short and bittersweet. Touching.

Supernatural/Dark Angel Crossover

Mortal Wounds by [livejournal.com profile] splashpink (Sam/Alec, R) Summary: Sometimes loving Alec hurts worse than losing Dean. A quick peek at a larger picture. This story could use a beta, but is still vivid and compelling.

Wow a rec, thank you so much!

You're welcome! :-)

Know what.. I think there needs to be some Joshua fic..
cuz yeah. POOR PUPPY! *snuggles puppeh*

Although.. Alec fic certainly does keep me happy in my pants ;)

[identity profile] twasadark.livejournal.com 2008-11-08 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a writing prompt to me ... :-)

Being happy in your pants IS VITALLY IMPORTANT. LOL

[identity profile] alaerys.livejournal.com 2008-11-09 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
;)

THIS IS TRUE!!

*adds these to list*
Thanks for more! :D

[identity profile] twasadark.livejournal.com 2008-11-08 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You're welcome. Hope you enjoy! :-)

By the way, I was wondering how you came to read/make a podfic. I love listening to them and thought it would be kinda cool to read one one day. :) Also, just so you know, your reading of "Sound is Deep in the Dark" is superb. ;)

[identity profile] twasadark.livejournal.com 2008-11-09 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, wow! That would be soooooooooooo kick ass!! Here's a brief guide:

http://isiscolo.livejournal.com/377489.html

Basically, you buy a microphone (one with headphones is really helpful - about $20, I think) and download the free software Audacity to make the recordings ... if you're on a PC. There's a really easy video tutorial about how to use Audacity. I can find it if you want.

Oh, and thanks for your kind words about my DA podfic. I love that story. &hearts

[identity profile] zed-pm.livejournal.com 2008-11-09 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks for the links and info! And, you're very welcome. That is also one of my faves. <3

Oh and one more question...
Can you read anybody's story or do you have to ask the author first?

[identity profile] twasadark.livejournal.com 2008-11-09 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you have to ask permission from the author first. Most times they are flattered to give it, but sometimes they don't respond to the request at all. :-(

[identity profile] zed-pm.livejournal.com 2008-11-09 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
I kinda figured as much. lol
Thanks! :)

Thanks a lot for starting a new obsession. Like I really needed that! Alec is a great character. What is it about tormented, good looking men? I loved him on DA, but never read any fic. That is until recently, when you posted your earlier DA recs. I thought maybe I'd check out one, then another, and another. Next thing I knew, I'd gone thru the whole list. I refuse to start on this list. I have too much to do to sit around an read fic! I do! Damn you! *schmishes*

Now I need DA podfic.

[identity profile] twasadark.livejournal.com 2008-11-08 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
HAHAHA!! I know what you mean about new obsessions!! Well, I guess we wouldn't be fangirls if we didn't obsess like WHOA. The good news is that some of the above fics are really really short. Not that I'm trying to coerce you into reading them or anything. :-)

Re DA podfic, there are only 2 so far, but they are listed in this post, at the bottom: http://twasadark.livejournal.com/75729.html The good news is that [livejournal.com profile] tsuki_no_bara is going to do the whole Tom Sawyer 'verse. Plus, I'll probably podfic my own stories ... eventually. :-) I started on Blind Spot, by the way. I'm planning on posting 3 chapters at a time, I think. anyhow, that will happen ... soon?

[identity profile] kimmer1227.livejournal.com 2008-11-08 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I did see the two podfics. I listened to one already. It was too darn short. *heavy sigh* I'm holding off on Tom Sawyer cos' no Dean. I need Deeeeean!!

Thanks again for the Dragons fic. Loved it! Can't wait for Blind Spot.

Yay; you've just made it so much easier to find good slash fic without trawling through everything. Thank you :)

Sounds cheeky, but have you seen any Alec/Zack on your travels? I'm having trouble finding any.

[identity profile] twasadark.livejournal.com 2008-11-09 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You're welcome! I'm glad that my fic reading obsession can benefit someone else. :-)

Alec/Zack? Oooooh! That sounds YUMMY!! Unfortunately, I haven't found any. Hmm. I just might have to write it at some point, though. Oh, you know what? The [livejournal.com profile] smallfandomfest is requesting prompts right now, and they do list DA. You should totally submit this pairing as a prompt!
