Snowflake Challenge #8
Challenge #8
Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create.
From shortest to longest (but all in my preferred sweet spot of about 2-7k words), some fics that have stuck with me and that I love to revisit, with a spread of fandoms.
The Sound of Wires Crossing (1934 words) by Mosca
Fandom: Chasing Amy (1995)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Banky Edwards/Holden McNeil, Banky Edwards/Original Male Character
Characters: Banky Edwards
Summary: Banky discovers the joys of gay sex and doesn't really get over Holden.
Rec: I have a weakness for Kevin Smith movies, and in some ways Chasing Amy is the most frustrating one, in a way that really, really makes me want to read fic for it. This is one of my favorites, it is satisfying in a way that feels honest.
Pursuit of the Last Lantern (2053 words) by Vulgarweed
Fandom: Lord of the Rings - Tolkien
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Merry Brandybuck/Dernhelm of Rohan
Additional Tags: Genderqueer, Angst, Crossdressing, Awkward Sexual Situations, Comfort Sex, Deceit, Disguise, Interspecies
Summary: On the eve of the Battle of the Pelennor Field, two misfit warriors won't quite admit fear -- but they will seek comfort. There is angst, there is hope, and there is someone who is not what he seems.
Rec: I went in to Lord of the Rings knowing in my heart I would ship Sam/Frodo, and I did. What I didn't expect to ship? Merry/Eowyn. This fic was my dream come true, capturing so much of what I love about them (misfit warriors!), and crossdressing on top of that.
Diane, I Am Now Upside Down (2100 words) by cjmarlowe
Fandom: Twin Peaks
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Dale Cooper/Dennis "Denise" Bryson
Characters: Dale Cooper, Dennis "Denise" Bryson
Additional Tags: flirtation, Friendship, reminiscance, Genderqueer Character, Yuletide 2013
Summary: Things in Twin Peaks were always more complicated than they at first appeared. Both Denise Bryson and Dale's feelings for her were no exception.
Rec: Just a sweet moment between two people in a complicated situation. Dale and Denise are so mature and thoughtful here, and that has always made me love it.
Natural Law (2379 words) by trill_gutterbug
Fandom: Black Sails
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Captain Flint/John Silver
Characters: Captain Flint (Black Sails), John Silver
Additional Tags: Anal Sex, Set Some Nebulous Time Between S3 & 4 I Guess?, In Which Trill Continues to Name Fics after Star Trek Episodes Because Why the Eff Not, Some Internalised Homophobia/Sex Shame, Dorks in Love
Summary: They've been fucking for three weeks.
Rec: Hot smut that feels precisely true for the ship.
Don't Say A Word (4331 words) by orphan_account
Fandom: Metal Gear
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: Major Character Death
Relationships: Otacon/Solid Snake
Characters: Sunny Emmerich, Sunny Gurlukovich, Otacon (Metal Gear), Solid Snake
Additional Tags: post MGS4, Grieving, Canon Divergence, Death
Summary: Now in her teens, Sunny finds herself drawn back home, only to realize that her father is looking less and less like Otacon these days. (Post old!Snake death, grieving and rebuilding. A bit of canon divergence cus I wanted the Jupiter family to get more time together, don't look at me)
Rec: After MGS4 this was exactly the fic I went looking for and was so happy to find existed. Otacon and Sunny-centric fic exploring grief and family and love.
Like Unto a Man (6519 words) by disenchanted
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Terror (TV 2018)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Rape/Non-Con
Relationships: Captain Francis Crozier/Cornelius Hickey, others
Characters: Captain Francis Crozier, Cornelius Hickey
Additional Tags: Alcohol Withdrawal, Dreams and Nightmares, Psychic Bond, Mind Sex, Crimes & Criminals, Identity Issues, psychic sex dreams, posthumanism, Underage Sex, Crozier is Protestant
Summary: While Crozier dries out, he dreams of a man on Terror.
Rec: Really digs into the gritty, nasty appeal of Crozier/Hickey through freaky nasty psychic dream sex.
