Monday: Recs To Get You Through The Week

[narceus]

Happy Monday, guys. Hope you all survived your weekends at least reasonably intact. We've got five long days looming ahead of us until the next one (except for those of us who happen to live in Australia), so let's help them go by a little easier, okay?

HERE SHALL BE RECS. The rules for this post are simple: Is it a thing that exists? Online? Does it have to do with Glee? Then post a link to it here. That's fic, but that's also vids or art, and it also means meta, or any sort of interesting ideas you've run into poking around.

Any character, any pairing, go wild. Feel free to request recs along a certain theme if you're really feeling it, and one of your friendly local mods might pop along into the comments and suggest a theme if you're really stuck for ideas.


So, c'mon. Link me something good. Tell me why you like it. ;)

Okay, I have been in an oddly nostalgic mood lately, so you get: one dozen assorted S1 fics, all of them written previous to August of 2010.

To start with, a handful of shipfics:

Wonderwall, Faberry. Set just after 'Ballad', written back in the days before Rachel's dads even had names. Good times.

Where I Would Mumble, You Would Say, Brittana. Remember back when everybody knew Brittany wasn't always sharp with conventional logic, but nobody worried about whether or not she had the ability to consent? Those were good times.

And I Will Learn Throughout My Life To Never Lean On What Will Bend, Faberry and Brittana, to round out the girls.

Five Times Artie Was A Badass (and one time he admitted it) does not subscribe to any particular ship so much as Artie/everybody, with a side of Artie/awesomeness. I approve.

can't get enough gets us some hothothot Jesse/Rachel/Finn action, which I for one think fandom has never had enough of.

my postcard folds up to a heart proves that even as early as the F13, people were noticing Mike Chang's epic crush on Kurt Hummel. Again, I approve.

Summer 2010 is one of those stories that everybody's read, but is well worth reading again. Kurt/Finn, long, and lovely.

S1 was the golden age of Puckurt:
I'd Appreciate Your Advice On Whether I Should Let You Win, wherein Puck is confusing and Kurt is confused.

The Five Other Times Puck Got the Shovel Talk. And the One Time Kurt Did, in which Puck might just be more invested in this than Kurt is, if any of the rest of the club would believe him.

In Progress nicely bridges the gap between Puckurt and gen. Puck may or may not be trying to get into Kurt's pants; Kurt's just trying to get through high school. It also has one of the most spot-on, totally true, and brilliantly ironic last lines ever.

How Dirty Girls Get Clean, while we're on the subject of Puck, is a genfic all about sex: namely, about Puck, Santana, and the meaning of 'consent'. A little less chipper than everything else on the list, and short, but good.

And finally,
All The Single Ladies is gen, entirely, and it's just the best slice-of-life for the girls of Glee. Complete with a suggested playlist!

Fic recs!

Have not had much time to read this week, but here are two:

pass the salt, i'm glad you're here Finn was the ninja of making people feel awesome.

....oh and then Klaine angst/ONW reaction, that's always fun: Biting My Tongue All Week

Re: Fic recs!

I second Biting My Tongue All Week, and want to add that it does not end horribly for our boys, which is what I thought might happen when I started reading it.

Keep It Between Friends, a conversation between Blaine and Sebastian during OMW. Klaine, but hinting towards Seblaine, if that bothers you.

Go and Ride The Sun Away, a Blaine dealing with himself, post-Kurt.

Working On Drawing a Straight Line, an oldie, set just after SLS. Angsty and Blaine-centric.

It's All For Show by fictocriticism - NC17 - Darren/Chris/Grant

Smokin' hot threesome with voyeurism and grinding, and it starts with rehearsing kissing scenes. Chris is dominant, Darren is silly, and Grant is definitely not complaining. LOL.
