The Fandom Snowflake Challenge Day 2

[kate]

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Drop a link to your post in the comments. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom and maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.

Oh boy, I haven't really been keeping track of stuff lately, eep. And the things I've been partaking of have been pretty much fic in large-ish fandoms, so (and I've been reccing Yuletide and Losers already, so...). Eep. Well, here are some things I can rec, anyway, from sga_santa which hasn't had reveals yet (LJ seems to be under attack again), so they'll have to be anon.

However Improbable, an SGA/Sherlock fusion where Rodney is Sherlock, John is... Lestrade, I suppose? And Ronon is Watson. It may take a second to hear them as British, but once you do, the story is delightful. It's an interesting take on it, a nice shortfic that captures both canons well. McShep, NC17, 5700 words

Keepsakes, a long, interesting bug!John fic. I'm not a huge fan of bug!John, tbh, but this one was Rodney's POV, and it was his steadfastness, his belief that really made this such a compelling read. Also, great Elizabeth in the first few scenes, lovely Ronon and Teyla throughout. McShep, PG13, 11,500 words

Fitting Together, a really interesting take on Cam and John. Solid Ronon and Rodney, good team. It's Cam POV and there's some interesting backstory that I truly enjoy. Plus ace!John which is a huge "yes, please!" for me. Cam/John, R, 4700 words.

Those sound good, thanks.

You're welcome! I'm still about fifteen short of finishing the fest, but there's been some really solid stuff so far.

Oh man, you're getting me nostalgic for SGA! That rarely happens. Thanks for the links - am def checking out the John & Cam story :D

AHahah, I totally understand! I rarely read fic in SGA anymore, except for this fest (which seems to be my last holdout in the fandom). There have been some lovely stories this year - I did a couple of rec sets of the first six days posting on solstice_calendar. Recs part one and part two. These three are more even more solid than the first two sets, though.
