Recs! Some of which are not About Me

I have been podficced! This makes me incredibly ecstatic. mixed_reviews recorded my DH story "Waist Deep and Sinking" HERE. Go listen. I am awesome. *grin*

Come My Way by candle_beck; SPN; Sam/Dean; Adult
I have the feeling I am going to articulate this poorly, but you know how sometimes stories in fandom feel like they belong to a particular era of writing within the fandom even if they were actually written earlier or later? I think that some of the best writing in SPN came from the first season of the show and this feels very much like a story that was written in season one. A very lovely Wincest first time fic.

Homeless Hit A Bit Close (the These Rags of Memory remix) by tabaqui; SPN remix; gen
I love this unflinching look at what it must have meant to grow up Winchester, and the privation that both boys were surely subject to as a result. More than most authors I know in fandom, tabaqui has a real gift for illuminating the way class issues mold the characters she writes about and this fic is no exception.

Down to the River (Ain't no More Second Guessing remix) by essenceofmain; SPN remix; Sam/Dean; Adult
I adore fic that plays with the time loop of "Mystery Spot." I love that canon itself shows us a Sam who is raw and ragged and pushed to the edges of sanity and I love that we as fanficcers can take that characterization and drop poor Sammy over the edge. This is short, but brutally so, like a backhand across the cheekbone.

This Dark Shroud Hides a Face Beneath it (Underside Remix) by subterrain; SPN remix; Dean/OMCs; Adult; Warnings for underaged sex
The summary of this fic reads: these are the things Dean does for his family. *shivers* Dean in this story is so vulnerable, using the only capital he has (his body) to get what he and Sam need to survive. This is a bleak, bleak read.

Buildings and Bridges (the rockabye remix) by zooey_glass04; SPN remix; Sam/Dean; Adult
Sam and Dean build a treehouse when they are children and that treehouse comes to symbolize all the things they can never say out loud to each other. I love the way the fic is structured around this tangible symbol of their love.

Handlebars by flummery; Dr. Who vid
The very first time I heard this song on the radio I shut it off before the artist was even halfway through the first verse. The song annoyed me. I couldn't stand it. But someone on the flist linked to this vid and I found myself absolutely mesmerized by the way the lyrics and the images shown in this vid interact. I don't even watch Dr. Who and I can tell how powerful this vid is.

Never as Bad as Anticipated Until it Is by bluflamingo; SGA Big Bang; John/Mitchell; Adult
I like this pairing. I like it a lot. I think it has such potential to generate an interesting dynamic between the characters. I am very intrigued by the notion of a Cam Mitchell in charge of Atlantis and I love the way this fic handles the relationship between John and Rodney.

Push Until it Holds by zillah975; SGA Big Bang; John/Ronon; Adult
Again, I like this pairing. I like it a lot. And again, I like the way the relationship between John and Rodney is handled. I like that Rodney pursues John because he feels that he ought to; I love how desperately he tries to make something work between them. And I love how fragile Ronon is in the piece, how stoic, how enduring, how weary.

Two Untitled SG-1 Fic Snippets by 6beforelunch
I love both of these, but the second in particular. What happens to Jonas after the Ori take his planet? This, nothing but this, and no one will ever convince me otherwise.
