RR - Canon Pairings

  • May. 30th, 2011 at 8:15 PM
Many people turn to fanfiction to find the romantic relationships they envisioned that were not present in canon. Sometimes, however, we look for fics that focus on the relationships that were present in the original source, either because we loved them so much we can't get enough or because we are looking for a 'fix-it' for the mistakes we believe were perpetrated by TPTB. This week we are focusing on these canon pairings and the fics that best represent them.

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: Canon Pairings

Re: Canon pairings, potpourri ...
It seems like a lot, until I look at the hundreds of recs I have in so many fandoms, and these are the only canon pairings ones! (Well, I have more Torchwood, but you all do a great job of covering that.)
