Day 31 - BONUS - Wildcard/Catch up on a missed day

I decided to go with: Fanfics for couples that you don't ship.

Fandom Category: Yu-Gi-Oh
Pairing: Mazaki Anzu/Motou Yugi
Fic Title: Say Something
Author: Chibi's Sister
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3912678/1/Say-Something
Rating/Warning(s): K
Genre: Romance/Drama
WIP?: No. Completed at 65,000 words.

Why This Must Be Read: Anzu thinks she has everything she's ever wanted in life... until she gets invited to Yugi's wedding. Priorities and past feelings abound. It's really an ensemble story (with background Rebecca/Yugi, Serenity/Tristan, Joey/Mai and a surprise pairing), and I love that the author uses the opportunity to showcase everyone's friendships and different voices. The core triangle isn't annoying, either, but fully realised and sympathetic to everyone involved -- not to mention featuring some of the best writing I've ever read, in the sense that it rings so true to life. I cannot recommend this story highly enough, or love this story more even if it had been written with one of my OTPs as the centre. It's that good.

Fandom Category: Batman/The Dark Knight Rises
Pairing: Selina Kyle/Bruce Wayne, Barbara Gordon/John Blake, Harleen Quinzel/The Joker
Fic Title: Adaptation
Author: Yours Hopefully
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8344110/
Rating/Warning(s): Mature
Genre: post-movie, long fic, drama
WIP?: yes.

Why This Must Be Read: Oh, guys, you have to read this story. Normally I only scour ff.net in my most desperate hours, and I hit that limit fairly quickly because AO3 is not updating with Selina/Bruce fics fast enough for my wants. Imagine my sheer giddiness when I stumble upon a long, in-character, well-written post-TDKR that features so many, many wonderful things. The first half of this fic is like a story unto itself: Selina and Bruce coming together and falling into a relationship. It is glorious, and a bit comforting after the sheer epic angst of the movie. Just freakin' good. But then? It ups the notch and introduces a plot which pivots the story on an idea I've always wanted explored: what happens when the Joker comes back?

Summary: Bruce domesticates Selina. Selina strips Bruce of his masks. John Blake meets Jim Gordon's daughter. Barbara Gordon shows the newly risen hero she's no slouch herself. A crazed Dr. Harleen Quinzel breaks the Clown Prince of Crime out of Arkham. Gotham's final curtain call comes, and all are just part of the plan. Post TDKR.

READ THIS. It's, yes, a WIP, but it's already 40k in, and quickly updated. And it's just a read worth it. My favorite Selina/Bruce fic out there thus far. (But, seriously, this comm should get on reccing more of this pairing so that I can test this theory as much as possible. GIMME more S/B fic please!)
