YOU GUYS THANK YOU SO MUCH. KEEP 'EM COMING.
a few recs for you
Date: 2009-03-18 03:46 pm (UTC)I highly recommend this one whether or not you are into AU. It is one of my all time favorites!
Before There was You There Was You by Gina Marie on Midnight Whispers
Sequels - Return to Me and A Stitch in Time (WIP – being updated regularly)
All three can be found here: http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewuser.php?uid=14
If you are into AUs I recommend anything by Julia and Elsa Rose (aka Moonshadow Woman) http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewuser.php?uid=42; http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewuser.php?uid=2
A lot of Elsa Roses revolve around magic and other extremely AU scenerios, however I absolutely adore her work.
Also good is the Talisman of Time series by Peansong, which can be found on MW as well. This fic is a post 5-13 and somewhat anti-Mikey, and anti-Lindsey (though not too extreme): http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewuser.php?uid=68
The order of the stories can be a bit confusing, so here is the correct order.
Sparring Partners
Meanwhile in Toronto (sequel/sidebar to Sparring Partners)
Superheroes
Session in the Pitts (sequel/sidebar to Superheroes)
More Sessions in the Pitts
Talisman of Time
Between Now and Then
The Return of Devina Devore
And So Moving Forward Part 1
The Thorne Saga
The Thorne Saga II (WIP/abandoned?)
The Gathering (WIP/abandoned?)
Warning some chapters are better than others, but the good ones make the whole thing worth reading – especially up through And So Moving Forward
The next two fics are fairly lacking in angst, but if you like that kind of thing I recommend The Gus Diaries by
http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=shadownyc, unfortunately not all chapters seem to be listed here, but you should be able to jump to the correct ones easily enough
and Sunshine Files by Thyme and Sabina http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/TS1.htm
Again, lots of really good fics in the postings above!
