Veronica/Weevil recs.

Fandom Category: Veronica Mars
Pairing: Veronica Mars/Eli "Weevil" Navarro, Veronica Mars/Felix Toombs
Fic Title: too soon, too strong
Author: obv_hot_mess
Link: http://obv-hot-mess.livejournal.com/688242.html
Rating/Warning(s): PG-13, AU.
Genre: AU, retelling, romance.
WIP?: Complete.

Why This Must Be Read: Because this short, achingly powerful bit of writing explores what could have happened if Keith Mars had died young. The Weevil and Veronica in this feel incredibly real and very much themselves, if harder (Veronica) and softer (Weevil). Something that I've always, always adored about this pairing is that Weevil has always been the one guy in Veronica's life who's never walked at her as less or more than an equal. He takes her for who she is whenever they cross paths, and this story brings that to vivid, perfect, hard life.

Rating/Warning(s): NC-17, futurefic.
Genre: Romance, AU.
WIP?: Complete.

Why This Must Be Read: Call me a sucker for future stories, but this story always, ALWAYS makes me smile. It's just so sweet (but not saccharine) and feels very real. I buy them as a long-time couple in this.

Fic Title: The Life You Choose
Author: mandilyn
Link: http://www.weever.laiquendai.co.uk/viewstory.php?sid=135
Rating/Warning(s): PG-13ish.
Genre: AU, romance, angst.
WIP?: Complete.

Why This Must Be Read: Because this is such a great, quiet love story. It's Weevil dealing with his life and doing the best he can to integrate Veronica and her moral compass (and different situation) into his own world. It's also the kind of love story I like best: one where someone fucks up and they fix it. I also adore the little touches of Weevil's life and home.

Fic Title: Crash Into Me
Author: total_fangirl/lit_chick08
Link: Crash Into Me
Rating/Warning(s): Hard R for a couple parts, but mostly PG-13, adultery.
Genre: AU, angst, romance.
WIP?: Complete.

Why This Must Be Read: This is one of my favorite AU stories ever written. Mostly because it takes a left turn in the middle of season 2 and completely charts its own territory. I love that we get a 10-years-later on a possible Veronica/Duncan romance (that does NOT back away from the outside pressures and realities), and that the rest of the cast is so vivid and important to the story. I also love that Veronica and Eli's affair is more a catalyst for Veronica's own agency than a suddenly-everything-is-perfect-healing-sex!

Pairing: Veronica Mars/Eli "Weevil" Navarro
Fic Title: Finding Magic Mountain, Wonderwall, We Could Go To Prom Together!, I Don't Break My Promises, Everywhere You Turn, There They Are, My Konstantine, Criminal, Just Feel Better, Puzzling It Out.
Author: total_fangirl/lit_chick08.
Link: Series
Rating/Warning(s): From PG to hard R. AU, adultery.
Genre: Epic, romance, angst, friendship, retelling.
WIP?: All the stories are complete, as is the series.

Why This Must Be Read: This is definitely the Veronica/Weevil epic relationship series. It follows the beginning of their relationship, all the way through a pretty major roadblock, and back. I don't know exactly how I can describe this series other than to say that it really, really brings home (to me) how amazing and equal Veronica and Eli could be. I'd also rec this sucker to high heaven, if just for the familial detail we get on Weevil. This series, barring nearly everything else ever written for the series, brings color and detail to his family and homelife. If you don't read anything else on this list, please read this.

Fic Title: Permanence
Author: 38gnihsurc
Link: http://38gnihsurc.livejournal.com/34256.html#cutid1
Rating/Warning(s): NC-17, implied violence.
Genre: AU, futurefic, friendship, romance.
WIP?: Complete.

Why This Must Be Read: Because this totally, completely, absolutely could have happened after the series 3 finale. This is a future that could have happened, and one that's absolutely fascinating in its tiny details. More than that, Veronica and Weevil's friendship shines through more than anything else (even the sexytimes!) and that just makes me so, so happy.

Fic Title: I Saw The Water Shimmer
Author: monimalia

Rating/Warning(s): PGish, spoilers for season 2.
Genre: Futurefic, angst, friendship, romance.
WIP?:

Why This Must Be Read: Because this is such a wistful, adult, grown up little piece of regret and hope. Veronica and Eli were never anything, for a lot of reasons, but this story makes the point that 'right now' doesn't mean forever. Also, it's mala, so read it.
