Veronica Mars Squeee of Doom and SPN recs

[lunabee34]

OMG! I just finished mainlining season one of Veronica Mars and I am speechless. Completely speechless. An almost flawless 22 episodes of television. I mean, so good I had to change the subtitle on my journal. I am mostly unspoiled for season two, so don't give me a headsup unless it's to tell me that Weevil and Logan totally get it on in detention cause, wow. They should. So, rec me some Veronica Mars fanfic, please! Het, slash, gen, all donations accepted. I know you guys know where the good stuff is.

A couple M*A*S*H recs to get us started off:

Letters Home by likethesun2 Hawkeye/Charles Winchester PG-13ish. You know how you had NO IDEA you wanted to read something? Sorta thought maybe if you did it'd be ridiculous or else a wee bit squicky? And then you read and you realize it was the very thing you'd been wanting all along? This fic is a lot like that. It's the Hawkeye we see more and more toward the end of the series, the one who's fragile and emotionally damaged, and the Winchester voice is spot on. Hawkeye stands in the gloom at the door of the Swamp, peering in. There isn’t that much different in him, Charles thinks, at least not when you look at him head-on. It’s when he doesn’t realize that he’s under scrutiny—there, as he throws a glance back over his shoulder, obliquely—that you see a faint flash. The white of the eyes, the twitch of the lips. It’s when he turns away that you see how he’s going away, and away, and away.

The Third Incurable Affliction by likethesun Hawkeye/BJ PG-13ish This is told from BJ's POV and mainly concerns his first experience in the OR.

Every Reason by garnettrees Hawkeye/BJ PG-13ish I think this is really lovely. Very sad. Very wistful. There's two narratives going on at once; a future perspective woven in with the events of the past that's done very well and makes for a very heart hurty piece.

SPN

there's gotta be a punchline in here somewhere by lyra_wing Sam/Dean Adult I really like fics where the boys switch bodies and that switch leads to really, really hot sex.

Battering Ram by astolat Sam/Dean Adult This fic is based on the concept of the Costner movie The Postman. It's Sam and Dean in a post-apocalyptic world and it's absolutely beautiful. I *believe* this fic; it feels very much like something that could happen.

Sinking like the Setting Sun by tigriswolf Dean-centric, variety of pairings including Wincest, Adult This is written in list format, which I love, and is an excellent character study. Little slices of the things that make Dean Dean.

Problem, Plan, Solution by albydarned J2 Adult This makes me laugh. Oh it makes me laugh. The Jared voice here is stellar--just shy of cracky and loads of fun. Then there's also the OMG!smokinghot Impala sex scene. *fans face*

Have I started?

*scoffs*

You grossly underestimate me, youngling.

LOL

I'm four eps away from the finale. Although, gotta say, not having the mad love for this season that I did for the first. Oh, sure, I like it, but not as well as the first season.

[lyr]

You move fast! I know what you mean about the second season, though. I loved the first one harder. I fear the third season isn't as near to my heart as the first one either. And tonight's finale just...I stared at the screen for a bit, then yelled, "That's it?!"

I know! *That* was her last moment with Wallace? What the hell?

I actually thought the last bit with her and Logan was pretty perfect. I was satisfied with that. And I loved teh way her dad didn't call her on what she'd done. It just all felt anti-climactic.

[lyr]

Yeah, anti-climactic. It would have been a good episode if it wasn't the last one. I hear there's still a chance VM might return in the FBI reincarnation, though, so maybe it isn't exactly the last.
