Reader's Rec -- Homeless!fic

  • Aug. 5th, 2007 at 3:33 PM
It has come to my attention that the explanation and execution of the Reader's Recs is making no sense whatsoever.  Er, sorry about that (please continue to send feedback like that in, BTW -- this community is for you, and I'd like it to be as useful as possible:)

To that end, I'm switching things up a bit. First of all, RR's will be posted as I come up with them, rather than at a set time each week.  They have nothing to do with the recs I post each week, so please don't feel limited by the fandoms I'm reccing in or the pairings I'm posting.

Secondly, I'll be posting links to all past RR's each time I post a new one.  If you read a story that fits into an earlier theme/topic, please feel free to rec away!

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).

That said, have at it!

Today's Topic: Homeless!fic

Previous Topics:
Genres:
-Marriage of Convenience
-Harleqin AUs

Fandoms:
-Long Due South AUs
-Crime Procedurals (anyone posting Bones (Boothe/Bones) or Monk (Stottlemeyer/Disher) fic gets a rec in any fandom of their choice, even if I have to acquaint myself with the fandom first)
-Due South fic (F/V would be a bonus, as I haven't read any before)

On the homeless!fic front, Romslinger (sorry, don't know if she's got an LJ) wrote one I love: Harbor of My Heart. It's a nice, long, meaty AU, with homeless!Jim and cop!Blair. Plus! I found when looking for this one that she's written a companion piece called Haven of My Soul, in which Blair is the homeless one. Haven't read this yet, but I've pretty much loved everything else of hers, so... :-)

P.S. Sorry this is late; that'll teach me to slack off reading LJ!

Actually, Harbor of My Heart has already been recced here (and I *loved* it). Haven of My Soul probably will be recced as well, though I didn't like it quite as much as Harbor of My Heart (possibly because HoMH is my single favorite homeless!fic of all time:)

Thanks for the recs!

Oops, sorry about the duplicate, should have checked! And yeah, I agreed; "Haven" isn't as good as "Harbor", unfortunately -- I finished reading it last night.

As a substitute for "Harbor", how about The Lazarus Gap, by [livejournal.com profile] dolimir_k? Nice long Smallville AU in which both Clark and Lex end up homeless. There's also amnesia involved -- don't know if you like that as much as I do, but I consider it an added bonus. :-)

Ooo, excellent. I actually haven't read that one before (I never realized how well-read I was in fanfic till folks started reccing to me), so it's going on my 'read right now' list:)

Thanks!
