Proud-Eyed and Prodigal by Araine (Teen and up)

[irony-rocks.livejournal.com]

Fandom Category: Thor
Pairing: Sif/Loki, Jane/Thor
Fic Title: Proud-Eyed and Prodigal
Author: Araine
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/202551
Rating/Warning(s): teen and up
Genre: post-movie, general romance
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: A post-movie fic that explores the idea of Loki returning to his home, genuinely repentant, and how that changes the dynamic between Sif and Loki. Jane/Thor is in the background, but their little bit is just as adorable as it was in the movies. It's a lovely look at Sif, especially - her stubborness and caution, mixed in with her old longings. Wonderful read!

Fandom Category: Indiana Jones
Pairing: Marion/Indiana
Fic Title: When the Ground Falls Out from Underneath Your Feet
Author: romanticalgirl
Link: http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/78/whenthe.html
Rating/Warning(s): teen and up
Genre: post-movie (The Crystal Skull)
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: A great look at Indiana, Marion and Mutt - with drinking games, a little family discord over the idea of Indy suddenly a father, and with great characterization. This is the truest to form story I've seen of them.


Fandom Category: Indiana Jones
Pairing: Marion/Indy
Fic Title: This Time Around
Author: trolllogicfics
Link: http://trolllogicfics.livejournal.com/31018.html
Rating/Warning(s): PG
Genre: Character study
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: A great look at Marion, through the years. How she thought of Indy through all the ups and downs.

( Two more recs underneath the cut. )

Kid Things by Sowell

[kyra-gm.livejournal.com]

Fandom Category: Veronica Mars
Pairing: Veronica Mars/Logan Echolls
Fic Title: Kid Things
Author: http://sowell.livejournal.com/
Link: http://sowell.livejournal.com/2635.html#cutid1
Rating/Warning(s): R
Genre: Angst, Romance
WIP?: No
Special Rec: 29 of 31

Why This Must Be Read: 

Amazing story! It's five years after graduation and Logan comes back to ask Veronica for help. It's an AU after 2.22. And it's spectacular! The characters are real and incredibly well written. You feel for them, you really do. And their love, God, the way they painfully love each other...Truly amazing.

For Challenge #65: Ginger Snaps: 1 rec, Sam/Bridget. Juno: 1 rec, Juno/Mark

[sans-grace.livejournal.com]

Fandom Category: Ginger Snaps
Pairing: Sam/Bridget
Fic Title: Knotted
Author: Northlight
Link: http://www.ficwad.com/story/1531
Rating/Warnings: R (as rated by author)/Implications of one sided incestual feelings, medium spoilers
Genre: Drama
WIP: No.

Why this should be read: This is one of only two quality fics I've found in a very small fandom filled with not so talented writers. ( I'm just sayin'. Not that I'm in any particular position to judge, considering my own lack of talent.) Also It's the only thing I've read in this fandom from Sams point of view. With this piece the auther creates a thoughtful, intellegent character out of the little the movie gave her/him to work with.

Fandom Category: Juno
Pairing: Juno/Mark
Fic Title: Slip
Author: 0penhearts
Link: http://0penhearts.livejournal.com/4436.html
Rating/Warnings: MA/Minor sexual activity with a 16 year old that happens to be pregnant.
Genre: Drama, fooling around
WIP: No

Why this fic should be read: This fic really brings out the out of control panic and desperation that i can't help but believe was really under Marks facade of calm throughout the movie. The pregnancy is only mentioned twice (sqinting required), and the abstract way this piece is written made me forget how young she is.

Mods, may i please have a fandom tag for both Ginger Snaps and Juno and a ship tag for both Bridget/Sam and Juno/Mark?
