7 multifandom recs

[irony-rocks.livejournal.com]

I've been meaning to rec these fics for a long time, so I'm just going to do a massive fic dump in one post.

Fandom Category: The Amazing Spiderman (2012)
Pairing: Gwen Stacy/Peter Parker
Fic Title: promise not to promise anymore
Author: ProfessorSpork
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/486601
Rating/Warning(s): teen and up
Genre: post-movie
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: A wonderful look at what was going on with Gwen at the end of the film, capturing all the emotion we didn't have time to see. From grief to anger to need to forgiveness, this is a great fic about Gwen and her struggle and confusion over Peter's decision.

Fandom Category: Inception/Harry Potter (infusion)
Pairing: Ariadne/Arthur
Fic Title: Further Studies in Impossibility
Author: metonymy
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/228321
Rating/Warning(s): Teen and up
Genre: fusion crossover
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: When I first read the idea, I was entirely dubious. But this is a surprisingly well written fusion where Ariadne is actually a witch in Harry Potter's world, and how she comes into Cobb's Inception world with that history. Her relationships and viewpoints are tainted by her experiences, and the muggle world is suddenly just as complicated as her wizarding world. Very well written.

Fandom Category: Doctor Who
Pairing: River Song/The Doctor
Fic Title: Stealing Time
Author: such_heights
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/528696
Rating/Warning(s): general audiences
Genre: post-ep "Angels in Manhattan."
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: Post-ep for "Angels in Manhattan," and a lovely look at River and what she does in the aftermath.

Fandom Category: The Matrix
Pairing: Trinity/Neo
Fic Title: The Edge of the Looking Glass
Author: Lizzen
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/141403
Rating/Warning(s): teen and up
Genre: romance/drama
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: The path untaken; AU, at the turning point, it is Trinity who becomes the One. With a summary like that, how can you guys resist?

Fandom Category: Luther (BBC)
Pairing: Alice Morgan/John Luther
Fic Title: Particle Collisions at Ultrarelativistic Speeds
Author: Isagel
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/140678
Rating/Warning(s): general audience
Genre: drama
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: “The thing is, John,” she says, softly, her mouth widening into a thin smile - inviting, dangerous - “I've committed a crime.” A fantastic look at their relationship. I just love their dynamic so much, and this author captures it perfectly.

Fandom Category: Luther (BBC)
Pairing: Alice Morgan/John Luther
Fic Title: The Road Runner
Author: Signe (oxoniensis)
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/301802
Rating/Warning(s): teen and up
Genre: drama
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: "They're Wile E. Coyote, and I'm The Road Runner. Meep, meep." A great look at Alice and her relationship with Luther as she runs.

Fandom Category: Young Justice
Pairing: Artemis Crock/Dick Grayson
Fic Title: Asphyxia
Author: animegoil
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/437996
Rating/Warning(s): teen and up
Genre: episode-related: Depths
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: There's always a before and after. Here's to the us that will never be as I send you into uncertain death. Dick's thoughts and struggles as he sends Artemis to her death. A great look at what his perspective could be, and a what-if of their relationship. Great narration.
