Kat Recs All The Fics, Round 2 - Day 1

[kat_lair]

Welcome to Kat Recs All The Fics, Round 2 - another week wherein I post 10 fic recs per day in a variety of fandoms. And still somehow manage to make headway with my thesis. Trufax.

Enjoy.

***


American Idol

Save Tonight - Adam/Kris, AU. Kris is a detective, Adam is a FBI-agent, they work together on an undercover operation that almost ends in tragedy. Oh my, this has lot of my favourite things including a genuinely tense 'oh god how will he get out of this?' situation. Bonus points for the GPS tracker location...

Starstruck - Adam/Kris, AU. This is amazing and deliciously long. Adam is a rock diva, Kris is his personal assistant. Told half in the present where Adam has disappeared and Kris is called back (after he resigned) to find him, and half as flashbacks charting their relationship, this is both hysterically funny and a wonderful lovestory. Look up rom-com in your fandom dictionary, and there's a link there to this fic. Go read now.



Harry Potter (yes, so I saw the film and now I basically want to read/re-read ALL the Draco/Harry in the world. Also umpteen fics about Neville kicking ass. Feel free to drop me recs of your own)

Cerulean Blue - Draco/Harry (also includes a sort-of-but-not-really Draco/Harry/Snape scene). I'm usually pretty iffy about amnesia fics, but this one managed to draw me in. Draco (now a Potions Master at Hogwarts) has a bit of an accident in the lab and loses the last four years of his life. It's up to Harry and Snape's portrait to sort him out... The magic in this was fascinating as was the trip through Draco's psyche.

Master Work - Draco/Harry. Draco is determined to repay Harry for saving his life and so he pledges to 'protect and serve' him for ten months. At which point my whole face split into a giant shit-eating grin, because hello there my favourite kinks all wrapped in a sexy little package of power dynamics and dependence and sacrifice and mutual dislike morphing into something quite else. Happy sigh of contentment.

On a Clear Day - Draco/Harry. Draco works for the War Orphans Trust. Harry won't attend their annual Charity Gala. Steps must be taken. This was just delightful in every way; slow relationship development, plenty of UST, great OCs and boys helping each other to deal with their issues. Also includes one of the best drunken almost-sex scenes ever (no really, it was beautiful and left me aching, you'll see. But it was okay because the actual sex scene made everything all better. Guh.)



Hawaii Five-0

Ending one minute at a time - Danny/Steve. Boys are kidnapped and Steve is forced to go to some extremes to protect his partner. Guys, there's cagefighting! What more do you need? Okay, well, there's also an awesome h/c element and a realistic look at violence and effects of it.

Instinct - Danny/Steve. Danny has a thing about tattoos. So does Steve. Funny that. Guh.

Sympathy for the werewolf - Danny/Steve, AU. Werewolf!fic but with a twist. I wanted a little more exploration of the government conspiracy plot but all in all this was an extremely entertaining read and interesting take on the myth. 

you in the sea - Danny/Steve. There's a sharp shooter killing people in downtown Honolulu and it seems he's doing it for no other reason than to get Steve's attention. Interesting case fic and the getting together at the end has a warm feel of inevitability.



Torchwood

Fading - Owen/Tosh. This is one of my favourite het pairings and while the canon broke my heart, this fic healed it, at least temporarily. This is beautiful and bittersweet, and Tosh here is exactly as she is in my head; brave and self-contained.

I'm very rarely convinced that Draco/Harry makes ANY SENSE AT ALL but in a strange twist of fate it is actually TOM FELTON and all his ridiculous comments about those two lately that has made me curious. So thanks for some recs to start me off! :D

Seconding the thanks for the Harry/Draco recs. It wasn't something that interested me at all during my first run as a Harry Potter fan (all Snape, all the time, tyvm), but having seen the movie I'm curious.

This should make for a good start. :)

Okay, first of all KAT SHOULD REC FICS FOREVER! (jsyk \o/) And also, omg that new movie has made me want HP fic too. WHAT HAS HAPPENED? I actually am totally interested in the RPS because apparently Tom Felton and Rupert Grint ship themselves. I may have to start looking for that. And while I kind of don't like Harry Potter as a character (I know, I know, blasphemy) I'll totally check out that last one you recced because that almost drunk sex scene sounds awesome!

HAI! I have all the words tonight apparently!

omg I started reading Master Work yesterday night. BAD DECISION! Had to make myself pull away because I need at least a few hours of sleep!

Great - more fic recs from Kat!! On a Clear Day is already in my folder of HP recs which I am going to pass on to you (probably on a disc). Everything else is new to me - apart, of course, from my own fic. (Hee!! You recced me!!)

I got into reading HP fanfic way late so saras_girl's Reparations was the first H/D story I ever read. I absolutely adore the worlds she builds! I love these rec lists that you do, thanks!

[phemie.livejournal.com]

yes, so I saw the film and now I basically want to read/re-read ALL the Draco/Harry in the world.

You too, eh? I've somehow managed to read NEW fics instead of going back to read the old classics from 2005 or something. I've also realized that wow, reading fics the way I used to do back in my Potter fandom days requires a) a monkeyjob where you spend all day surfing the internet or b) hell of a lot more of freetime than I have these days. *sigh*

You wouldn't happen to have any recs in the Neville Is Awesome genre by any chance?

I haven't read any Harry/Draco in years. BOOKMARKING LIKE WHOA!
