RR: Rare Pairings, Gen, and Het Fics

  • Jul. 25th, 2010 at 7:39 AM
I hope you enjoyed our week of rare pairings and gen recs!  Even more, I hope you have a few fics to rec to us.  I'm also opening up the discussion to het recs, because I think they're more rare at ER these days than gen fics are and I know I'm not the only reccer here who'd like to see more het on the comm.

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.
-WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING NEW RECCERS.  Reccers are accepted by invitation only and the invitations are issued primarily based on their response to RR posts.  If you're interested, respond to this post (or one of the other RR posts originated by me) with a full rec, including Title, Author, Rating, Pairing, Genres, Length, Summary, and Review (including details of why you liked the story). 

That said, have at it!

Lunch and Other Obscenities (http://www.goldenmaze.com/lunch.htm) by Rheanna
Rating: PG
Fandom: Star Trek XI
Pairing: Uhura&Gaila friendship, some Spock/Uhura
Genres: gen, friendship, humor, pre-canon
Length: medium (9,786 words)
Summary: Nyota liked her roommate just fine until she met her.

Great fic about culture shock at the academy between roommates Gaila and Uhura. Also creates a backstory on the Spock/Uhura relationship - I didn't like the pairing in the film (I'm generally a K/S shipper), but I really like the way it's done in this fic.

The Cheap Trick Acceleration (http://archiveofourown.org/works/36862) by Liviapenn
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: the Big Bang Theory
Pairing: very slight Sheldon/Penny
Genres: friendship, time travel, gen, pre-het? (haha), humor
Length: medium (6379 words)
Summary: Penny racks her brain for the next twenty miles, trying to think of a subtle way to bring up the topic of meeting your time-traveling future self, or being sent on a mission to avert an apocalypse-related death. Finally she tells herself Forget it, Penny, it's Nerdtown. Sheldon and Leonard have weirder conversations six times a day. Sometimes before breakfast. Sometimes over Twitter.

Absolutely hilarious fic about the relationship between Penny and Sheldon. I'm neutral on the idea of Sheldon/Penny and this is the first fic that I've read about the two of them, so I have no idea how this compares with Sheldon/Penny fic...yeah. Anyway, this is so funny, Penny's voice is so well done, there are lots of references to Star Trek XI - in my opinion, a very good fic.
