AO3 Recs Comment Fest (running through December 18)

[wrangletangle]

For a break from mindlessly reposting from Tumblr, I'd like to take a moment to celebrate AO3's deeply inclusive content policy.

If you feel so inclined, please drop links to some of your favorite fanworks on AO3. They don't have to be NSFW. Any fandom, any genre, just things you enjoy.

For extra salt, I'm encouraging everyone to feel free to keep posting here through December 18. Fandom doesn't stop even if Tumblr implodes.

Comments

Long Live

[wrangletangle]

I'll start with a vid that reminds me of why we fandom in the first place: Long Live by cosmic_llin (Star Trek, gen, everyone)

Man in Twilight

Here's one of my favorite Pokemon fics of all time: Man in Twilight by shiplizard and binz (Pokemon Sun and Moon, gen, Nanu-focused precanon)

Oh, cool! I'll have to check that out.

My guilty pleasure is Tear You Apart by Zilchtastic, Gackt/Hyde j-pop RPF, sexy vampire idfic of doom. I first read it -- *checks comments* -- in 2011, and it's still as silly and hot now as it was then. Just the right mix of steamy and snarky. I don't know much about Gackt and nothing at all of Hyde, but it barely matters because this isn't really about the actual people so much as taking their public persona and turning it up to 11. Gackt is so ridiculously dramatic, it's delightful :D

And in the spirit of "you can truly post anything on AO3", another of my all-time favorites is Need To Know by ellen_fremedon. Star Trek (TOS)/Torchwood crossover, featuring Jack Harkness courting Naraht the Horta. If you didn't watch that particular episode of Star Trek, a horta is a highly acidic rock-tunneling creature that looks like this:



Jack Harkness Always Finds A Way.

Omg, a Moon Child homage! Brilliant!

The second one makes me think Ellen was challenged to make the Most Out There thing. With Jack all things are possible?
