Note: All my fic posts include a warning/enticement category, which has to be highlighted to be read. Yes, even if there's nothing in particular that needs mentioning. This is for the sake of the people who want/need spoilers and for the sake of people like me, for whom even the presence of a warning constitutes too much of a spoiler.

RECS: All fic recommendations, categorized by fandom, can be found here...

If it weren't for the Sherlock Holmes rec, you could barely get away from Clint Barton in this recs set. But...why would you want to? *g*

( 14 recs in 3 fandoms, including one crossover: Avengers (13), Hawkeye (1), Sherlock Holmes (1) )

As I've noted before, I will clearly never catch up with old stories. If you have a favorite story (your own or somebody else's) that you think I might have missed and it's in a fandom that I've recced before (see my main recs page, which includes links to all the individual major fandoms and a miscellaneous fandoms page), feel free to leave a link below. Most loved at the moment are stories from one of the following fandoms: Avengers, Doctor Who, Due South, Harry Potter, Hawkeye, James Bond, Lewis, Sherlock Holmes in all varieties, or White Collar, but everything is welcome.

So...there was a discussion about just how many "transformed into corgi" stories there are in The Avengers fandom (a trope which - I must admit - I kind of love), and an hour or so later...this happened.

Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~625
Possible warnings and/or enticements - highlight to view (may contain story spoilers): (skip)See AO3 notes, but...does it count as non-graphic bestiality when both parties are transformed into animals? Please leave a comment if you believe anything should be added here

Author Notes: gifted to midnitemaraud_r for REASONS. :)

Still on a multi-fandom kick...but I'm really waiting for the perfect 500K Clint/Coulson story to be posted. *g*

Many thanks to Marvel generally for creating these fantastic characters, and much love to Matt Fraction, David Aja, and everybody else who's been a part of the brilliant run of Hawkeye

BTW...for any readers who aren't familiar (yet) with the comic Hawkeye, all you need to know about "Dog Cops" is that it's an extremely popular t.v. show - and one that all the featured Marvel characters (Clint, Tony Stark, Wolverine, Spider-Man, etc.) seem to be watching.

(with additional thanks to Lunaris for a lightning fast beta!)

( (just like) starting over )

bethbethbeth

I'm starting to revisit some of my old fandoms, and I'm paying particular attention to the recs people are leaving for me, so this journal might be more multi-fandom in the weeks to come.

( 23 recs in 7 fandoms: Avengers (17), Due South (1), Iron Man (1), Hawkeye (1), James Bond (2), Phantom of the Opera (1), White Collar (1) )

As I've noted before, I will clearly never catch up with old stories. If you have a favorite story (your own or somebody else's) that you think I might have missed and it's in a fandom that I've recced before (see my main recs page, which includes links to all the individual major fandoms and a miscellaneous fandoms page). Most loved at the moment are stories from one of the following fandoms: Avengers, Discworld, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Lewis, Sherlock Holmes in all varieties, or White Collar (feel free to leave a link below), but everything is welcome.

Sixteen more Avengers recs this week and [almost] not a single Clint/Coulson rec in the bunch. Write faster, Clint/Coulson people!

( 16 recs in 1 fandom: Avengers (16) )

As I've noted before, I will clearly never catch up with old stories. If you have a favorite story (your own or somebody else's) that you think I might have missed and it's in a fandom that I've recced before (see my main recs page, which includes links to all the individual major fandoms and a miscellaneous fandoms page).

Nineteen recs this time and (almost) all Clint/Coulson! The next set of recs - coming up in a day or two - will be just about every pairing except Clint/Coulson. *g*

( 19 recs in 1 fandom: Avengers (19) )

As I've noted before, I will clearly never catch up with old stories.

Please note that while my current rec policy is to try and include story warnings, I make no guarantees. Generally speaking, there's little of a dark or violent nature to warn for in these stories, but...caveat lector. If you believe addition content information should be added to the rec, leave a comment below.

( JAMES BOND Recs )

bethbethbeth

Some non-yuletide recs to tide you over until the yuletide reveals. Note: I've put my initial, still-anonymous yuletide recommendations here on my journal for the time being.

As for these? Lots and lots of AU's and animal transformations, for some reason! And there are still over twenty recs to be made in the queue.

( 17 Recs in 3 Fandoms: Avengers (15), James Bond (1), Sherlock Holmes (1) )

As I've noted before, I will clearly never catch up with old stories.

I am so not catching up...although in my defense, I'm right in the middle of marking final papers and writing final exams. A bit of a mixed bag - i.e., not just the Avengers - but still very Clint Barton centric.

( 16 Recs in 4 Fandoms: Avengers (11), James Bond - Skyfall (2), Sherlock Holmes (2), The Unusuals (1) )

As I've noted before, I will clearly never catch up with old stories.

Thirty-plus stories at least still in the queue, almost all Avengers. Soon!

( 15 Recs in 3 Fandoms: Avengers (13), James Bond - Skyfall (1), Sherlock Holmes (1) )

bethbethbeth

I have something like 40 recs in the queue at the moment - almost all of which are Avengers - and I was idiotic enough to just bookmark them and not actual format any of them for the recs page - and of course, by now, I've forgotten what I meant to say about all of them. *sigh* So...I'm going to post a dozen or so recs every few days until I catch up.

( 11 Recs in 3 Fandoms: Avengers (10), RPF - Misc (1), X-Men (1) )

I'm happily reading all the usual fandoms, but much of my focus is over with the Yuletide nominations. Rare fandoms FTW!

bethbethbeth

A mix of pairings, but much, much more gen and team centered this time around. Still, whether plotty or not, it's the relationships that continue to be at the heart of just about everything I'm reccing, so even hard-core ship-only people should be able to find stories they like.

( 18 Recs in 2 Fandoms: Avengers (16), Misc Fandoms - The Bourne Legacy (2) )

( Finding Closure )

bethbethbeth

This Clint-centric update also includes a few of my favorites from various non-Avengers fests with which I’ve been involved recently (more to come in later editions!). It does not include anything from the HP Reversathon, since the reveals haven’t happened yet, and honestly...why aren’t you people reading those stories? Shoo!

( 28 Recs in 4 Fandoms: Avengers (14), Discworld (5), Harry Potter (6), Sherlock Holmes (3) )
