So, I'm not sure what pairings you like in Glee, or what fic you've read, so I am bringing you a smattering of fic recs!

Five Stages (http://archiveofourown.org/works/173558/chapters/253650#comment_224879) by thememoriesfire is the first in a rather long series that focuses on Santana. It's femslash but it's more then that--I'm not sure I can accurately describe what she does here. It's amazingly written and brilliant in both scope and pacing, so I strongly recommend it. It is REALLY long, though, so fair warning. ;)

Most Verse (http://miggy.livejournal.com/tag/fanfiction:%20glee:%20mostverse) by miggy is a gen series that focuses on Kurt and Rachel and their life after Glee. It, too, is very long and it deals with some very sensitive subjects (including eating disorders). Kurt and Rachel in NYC as apartment mates, without actually even liking each other? (This was started before they were friends) and just--yes! Glorious!

Endgame (http://kurt-blaine.livejournal.com/397520.html) by villageidiot is a short humor piece that has a slight Kurt/Blaine slant. Basically, Blaine and Kurt are friends and hang out all the time, but Blaine hasn't met any of Kurt's other friends. So he does. Just--it's hilarious and touching and I seriously, SERIOUSLY, wish some of these conversations would happen on the show. :)

You and Her Loathing This Cruel World (http://archiveofourown.org/works/221542) by thememoriesfire is an alternative look at the first season of Glee--what if Kurt and Quinn slept together? And Quinn got pregnant? Kurt/Sam and Quinn/Rachel. This one is very fairytaleesque but super cute and fun.

Title: White Rabbit
Author: sparrowshellcat
Fandom: Chronicles of Riddick/Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Pairing(s): Richard B. Riddick/Xander Harris
Rating: R
Warning: Character death, attempted rape, violence, mpreg, m/m relationship.
Word Count: 163,816
Author Summary: Xander Harris has no idea that he is adopted. But in the span of a week, he not only finds out that his parents aren't his birth parents, manages to get put into "protective house arrest" by his friends (and he's not even really sure why), and gets sent into space, where he literally lands on the head of the most wanted convict in the verse. Exploring space with a criminal sounds like a terrifying idea, especially as things start getting stranger and he starts to think even more and more that his birth parents might not have been human.


This is a giant (and I do mean giant) Pitch Black/Chronicles of Riddik and Buffy Fusion in which Xander's parents were not originally from earth. When Angel(us) convinces his friends that Xander was the one who beat him up, they try a spell and of course that goes terribly wrong. He lands in Dark Athena, the prison colony that is supposedly escape-proof, right on top of Riddick, the most dangerous man in the universe.

What follows is an amazing ride from Pre-series Riddick canon through the two movies and beyond. The writing is solid, the story engaging and character growth palpable — of course Xander changes slowly, a thing that he himself admits, but it is a slow process. I especially like the handling of the whole friend/family situation back on earth. It's one of the few stories I've read so far that actually make Jessica Harris a fully fleshed-out character.

All in all a good, satisfying read. And although the author is playing with the thought of writing more in this 'verse it is a standalone story (albeit with a small cliffhanger at the end).

Title: By Way Of Sorrow
Author: coldthermistor
Fandom: Inception
Rating: (Author puts down NC-17 for gore and character death) PG-15
Characters: Arthur, Eames, Cobb
Wordcount:20.000
Summary: Cobb jumps, on that anniversary night, with Mal. Arthur is left to pick up the pieces. Eames is patient. Arthur/Eames, implied one-sided Arthur/Cobb.


This is a what-if-Cobb had jumped story where Arthur is left behind and he struggles to care for the kids and to handle Mal's parents and then Eames shows up at his doorstep. It's intense; Arthur is broken by his friends' death and he's afraid that he'll lose his grip on reality as well. Eames just wants to help.

It's an interesting and thoughtful take on one of the central problems of the original movie, and though gritty and a bit raw it left me satisfied at the end, which is something I need in difficult fics.

Goodbye cheetahanabel!

I know right? That was my thought and then I squeed when I saw the length and then I spent my entire night up reading. (It was literally 5am here when I was finally done. Alas, that is the danger of long!fic.)

Enjoy!

Well, I don't think I can help you with the mpreg, but there's a rather old one on Twisting the Hellmouth, simply titled 'The Chronicles of Riddick: The Underverse' (http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-8042/aewnaur+The+Chronicles+of+Riddick+The+Underverse.htm) which was quite enjoyable, if I remember correctly.

That's all I can think of, at the top of my head, but I think there might be a bit more. If you're at all interested in the Harry Potter Fandom, then I know that there were two or three fics worth reading on that side of the crossover front, but although I'm sure they were on AFF.net, they don't seem to have survived the last five years or so.

But there is a Harry/Xander/Riddik fic called Dehctiws (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3617005/1/Dehctiws) which is an enjoyable enough read, although I have my issues with first person narration.

And should you enjoy a bit of Het once in a while, The Firefly Chronicles are an excellent merging of both Firefly and Riddick canon, though (as in most Riddick crossovers) it doesn't bring all that many new things into the plotline.

Sorry, this is all I have in my bookmarks. Hope you can find anything at all to satisfy your Riddick Crossover urge.

Bye Cheta, We'll miss you!!!!!

Stars and Birds (http://archiveofourown.org/works/236654) by carolinecrane (T)

Title : Stars and Birds
Author : carolinecrane
Fandom : Glee
Pairings : Kurt Hummel/Noah Puckerman, Finn Hudson/Will Schuester
Categories : Crossover, Alternate Universe
Length : Long (~ 18500 words)


Author in LJ : carolinecrane


Summary: It's season whatever of Project Runway, and Kurt's made it to the top seven and the dreaded menswear challenge. The assignment: To design a red carpet-worthy look for Broadway star Will Schuester to wear to the Tonys. Kurt's the only designer smart enough to find a way around tailoring pants, but he's relying on a model he's never worked with before to sell his concept to the judges and to Will. Enter Noah Puckerman, runway model. He knows how to work a runway, and he's determined to see that Kurt wins.


Review : A well-done Fusion from one of my favorite author in the Glee fandom. Carolincrane always makes me believe her stories could happen even when there are total AU.
This fic was written was the 2011 Alternate Universe BigBangand the art accompagningit is just great. (Go and look here (http://rinnia.livejournal.com/328554.html) to see the pretty pictures...)

Title: The Loveseat (http://the-con-cept.insanejournal.com/412851.html?format=light)
Author: the_con_cept
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Genre: Crack, humor, romance, letter correspondence/communication
Rating/Length: Long ( 17,000 words)
Warnings: N/A

Summary: Harry buys a second-hand sofa and gets more than he ever anticipated.

Review: Harry buys a couch and soon discovers it's enchanted when he finds a note wedged between the cushions. When Harry next sits on the sofa, he decides to give the new journal Hermione had bought him a try. He only manages a few sentences before he rips the page out in disgust with his "whiny" feelings and leaves the page a crinkled up ball on the couch. A few days later he discovers a scathing, hateful response that leaves him stunned, disturbed, and furious. And thus begins a very snarky (as well as amusing) correspondence that prompts Harry to find out his correspondent's secret identity.

This fic is brilliantly hilarious as most of AbstractConcept's fics tend to be. Somehow, she manages to seamlessly intertwine a hilarious cracky sense of humor with an underlining serious (and steamy) romance. This is the type of fic that will have you crying with laughter one minute, frustrated for Harry the next, and on the edge of your seat the entire time hoping it'll never end.

Everyone is perfectly in character and absolutely charming: Ron as Harry's faithful (if doubtful of his sanity) friend, Hermione as an intelligent (if somewhat concerned) healer who's always willing to help, and even Neville who relates Harry's couch problem with a past encounter he'd had with depressed gladioli (which he'd resolved by putting prozac in the plant's water). My heart goes out to poor, outraged Draco who unwillingly becomes Harry's go-to source as he tries to discover Snape's identity (and drives the Slytherin crazy in the process).

Excerpt: Harry groaned. He collapsed in a seat across from his friend. He had to be careful because Ron didn’t have a private office, so Harry leant forward and tried to talk without moving his lips very much. “I think my sofa’s been sending me letters,” he muttered.

Now Ron looked concerned. “Oh. Er . . . oh. Really?” he said, sounding desperately casual. “What sort of letters? Like, like, buy genuine wood polish, the other gets in my grain and itches, sort of thing?”

“Ron! This is serious! I fell asleep last night and this morning there was a letter between the cushions and it said it hoped Satan buggered me with a pitchfork or something.”

“Sounds like you need to be treating your furniture with a bit more TLC, mate,” Ron said, staring.

“It isn’t funny! My CHAIR HAS GONE MAD!” Harry shouted.

Title: The Choosen (http://allecto.livejournal.com/421688.html)
Author: allecto
Pairing: Harry/Crabbe
Genre: Marriage of Convenience, bonding, humor, drama
Rating/Length: Medium (9,869 words)
Warnings: death fic

Summary/Excerpt: Numbers never lied.

Vincent learned that at an early age, learned that numbers were the only things that didn't lie. Mothers lied, and fathers home from Azkaban, they lied a lot, and friends certainly lied. Numbers, though. Numbers never called him names, or sold him out to tall, cold men. Numbers were exactly what they claimed to be, and rather than manipulate him, Vincent could manipulate them. Numbers were cold, hard fact.

Numbers were telling him to marry Harry Potter.

Well, to be accurate (Vincent placed great store in accuracy), Hermione Granger was telling him to marry Potter. But she was using Arithmancy to do it, and having gotten his only N.E.W.T. O in Arithmancy, Vincent was inclined to believe her. Unfortunately.

Review: The Choosen is haunting and utterly superb. Allecto weaves a stunning Crabbe POV that is both gripping and engaging. She gives you a new, previously unseen side to Crabbe and Slytherins/purebloods mentality while still managing to keep a canon root. She gives you a glimpse into their strict sense of honor, lineage, and traditions (while still being anti-Voldemore) that Harry's never seen more than the fringe of and seamlessly makes you believe.

Crabbe is so well done and completely in character that it's almost disappointing when you finally finish the fic and realize it's most likely the first and last fic you'll ever find with such a perfect portrayal of him. Harry is exactly himself here as he is in canon-- stomping around in anger, oblivious to others, ignorant in his immaturity, and yet unable to stop himself from caring as he's swept into this mess against his will without full knowledge of what it all entails until it's too late.

Oh, and in case you missed the warning above, this is a death fic (where the characters die and stay dead.)-- something you will only ever see me recommend once or twice (ever), but please do not let that stop you because this fic is worth the angst. In the very beginning, there are hints that this bond Crabbe creates with Harry are damaging him-- not to mention the ominous phrase, "A life for a life."

The Choosen gives you more than enough time to prepare yourself for the death as Harry finds out about halfway through and Crabbe grows progressively more ill. While he's shocked to learn the full extent of the spell and how much Crabbe's giving up for him, Crabbe (and Snape) have known it all along and have long since accepted it for fact. The ending is still a little tearjerking, however, so keeping a box of tissues nearby is recommended. All in all, this fic is absolutely one of my most favorite HP fic despite the sad (and somehow perfect) ending.
