RR -- Small Fandoms

  • Aug. 26th, 2012 at 11:39 AM
We've finished out another Small Fandom theme week and had a blast reccing stories in fandoms we don't talk about very often.

Do you have some favorite fics in fandoms that rarely ever show up at [info]epic_recs? We'd love for you to tell us about them!

"Small" Fandoms at ER are any fandoms who have 5 recs or less in the comm, regardless of the how big the actual fandom is (you can check out how many recs a fandom has with our tags, delicious bookmarks, and/or pinboard bookmarks). 

Things to keep in mind:
-Recced stories can be any length, any fandom, and any pairing, as long as they fit the theme
-You don't need to write a review (unless you want to). All that you need to include are title, author, and link to the story (all parts if there are more than one).
-Stories as a single file are preferred, if available.

Today's Topic: Small Fandom

Previous RR topics can be found here.

In a bid to make the Once-ler finally face what he's doing, the Lorax suggests a day trip to see what's going on with the promise that he'll leave him alone if he's not convinced. The Once-ler agrees to try to get some peace. How bad could it possibly be?
(Comprehensible without canon knowledge.)
An AU where things go less tragically.

Mother of Demons (Eric Flint)
Tin Soldiers
Parhelion
http://archiveofourown.org/works/300032
For both the human soldier and the gukuy warrior, struggling with emotions proved tougher than battling vast cannibal hordes. It was a pity that gaining the weapons they so desperately needed would demand more prowess with the former kind of skirmishing than the latter.

A slice of life post-story, focusing on Joseph and Nukurren.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
So Not My Problem
Sarah1281
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5672156/1/So_Not_My_Problem
All Revan wanted to do was stay alive and try to get with Bastila, in that order. He doesn't want to save the galaxy and he's not looking to help everyone he meets. Tragically, he's surrounded by hero types that keep trying to drag him along for the ride.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7970033/1/Reverse_Stockholm

Embers
Vathara
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5398503/1/Embers
WIP. Dragon's fire is not so easily extinguished; when Zuko rediscovers a lost firebending technique, shifting flames can shift the world... Follows "Theft Absolute".
(Knowing the canon is advisable, but not necessary.)
An AU which attempts to have realistic world-building, as well as more-or-less incorporate most of canon, characters with common sense and many Xanatos gambits.

Detective Conan/Case Closed + Magic Kaito
Three Thieves
ysabet
http://threethieves.livejournal.com/451.html
A story about crossing boundaries...

I've been reading all of the Teen Wolf fic I could get my hands on, and I thought I'd share the love!

Title: Headlong (I'm Falling In A)
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Pairing: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski
Categories: Future Fic, Domestic, Romance, First Time, Pack Dynamics/Family
Length: 80,931

Author Summary: When Stiles goes to college, for some reason, he has to share an apartment with Derek, which sucks, because Derek still hates him the most. They fall in love.

Headlong (I'm Falling In A) on the AO3 (http://archiveofourown.org/works/295390)

(Porny) Bonus Rec:

Title: The Cooperative Bargaining Approach to Intra-household Economics (NC-17)
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Pairing: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Boyd/Stiles Stilinski, Erica Reyes/Stiles Stilinski, Isaac Lahey/Stiles, Stilinski Boyd/Isaac Lahey/Erica Reyes/Stiles Stilinski, (it boils down to Stiles/everybody-except-Scott-and-Allison)
Categories: Supernatural, PWP, (+ Pack Dynamics)
Length: 11780
Warnings: The author has tagged the fic Mildly Dub Con, but it's not really the definition I'd use. It's more of a trading favours kind of thing.

Author Summary: Scott has boundaries, Stiles negotiates, the pack goes after what it wants, and a favor is a favor.

The Cooperative Bargaining Approach to Intra-household Economics on the AO3 (http://archiveofourown.org/works/437185)

+
(Also, I'm not sure if Elementary is allowed, as the show hasn't even started airing yet?)

Title: Indubitably, Dear Watson
Fandom: Elementary
Pairing: None.
Categories: Friendship
Length: 2,001

Author Summary: In another life, Joan Watson thinks she could have made a good soldier. She can see herself now, prowling around the bloodied sands of whatever country (probably Afghanistan…Western Europe loved to go to war with Afghanistan). Of course, in that life she'd have had the good sense to be born with a penis.

As it stands, she and her uterus chose medicine.

I'm quite in love with the works the Elementary fandom has been producing just to show the BBC stans where exactly they can shove it. I love me some strong women, and the Joan that fans are writing is one of those.

I wish they'd gone all out, and made both Holmes & Watson women. That would have been AMAZING. :D Very curious what this new version will be like; I hope they do the characters well, especially Joan.

That would have been very awesome indeed. (I'm such a sucker for genderbending of any kind, it's ridiculous.) I'm just glad that the producers have stated that they're not going for a Watson/Holmes love interest kind of story but are instead focusing on their friendship. It will be glorious.


Plus, Jonny Lee Miller has owned my little fangirl heart ever since Hackers came out. I fucking loved that movie.

WIP -
Karkat Vantas is a 6 sweeps old troll with a secret so big it could shake the very foundations of the Alternian Empire. But now the purrbeast is out of the bag, and the heretics who follow the teachings of his Ancestor rush to send their Messiah to the safety of a planet so distant, it knows nothing of Alternia.
Meanwhile, Karkat hates his life and these stupid old squatters and his ancestor and pretty much everything there ever was in the world of forever. Platonically.

WIP.
An Ashen fanfic.
No friendships. Ever. That's what Kanaya told her weeks prior, but Rose never really grasped the full of it until she found herself at the end of an Ashen crush. Now the Trolls are growing and the culture gap widening, the demon pounding on the door and the horrors whispering in ears. At the centre of it all: Rose, trying to stand on both sides of the shore: without magic, without guidance and without one of her closest friends thanks to the very gap she is trying to bridge. This fic is dedicated to the Alternian third wheel.

Home Is Where The Heart Is
celynBrum (Celyn_Brum)
http://archiveofourown.org/chapters/604939
"An immense saucer descending from the clouds and impacting the ground, as the press and through them the people of Earth looked on in shock and awe. That was the scene in California's Mohave desert two years ago today: the historic first view of the Alternian ship upon its dramatic arrival. Their ship was a refugee ship carrying a quarter million children and young adults ready to settle in almost any environment, but they washed ashore on Earth with no way to get back to where they came from. Civil liberties attorneys successfully lobbied for the Alternians' release from quarantine and in the last two years, the Alternians have become the latest addition to the population of Los Angeles."
The representitives of a race of newcomers fight to give their people a home on Earth- but even without the deadly killer stalking the streets of LA, just surviving is hard enough for some. Can humans and aliens work together to build a better future? Or is it all doomed to end in bloodshed?
One thing is for sure - for sixteen teenagers, this is going to be a dangerous week.

It's Probably Plain to See That I Got a Whole Lot of Pain In Me

http://archiveofourown.org/works/385258
Your moirail is something of a shambling disaster -- his hair is a tangled, frizzy mess, his clothes are tattered at the hems and grimy, and he could stand a wash or five himself. But it isn't, you've realized, that Gamzee doesn't want to care for himself, it's more that he doesn't know how to take care of himself well. You're not sure why, since he had access to the same schoolfeeding as everyone else, but maybe it was because he was alone too much for so long. Maybe it's hard to care, or know to care, when there's no one to fuss over you.

Gamzee Makara fully expects to be culled on conscription for poor health and sopor addiction - what he doesn't count on is the personal attention and protection of the Grand Highblood.

Hi Abigail, Sorry for the confusion. [livejournal.com profile] slyprentice is going to be posting the recs every Friday starting in September.

All comments in the post were screened, but neither slyprentice nor myself see a comment from you in the post. Do you have an alternate username you use?
