( 17 Recs in 2 Fandoms: Good Omens (10), Lucifer (8) )

As I've noted before, I will 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, Due South, Hockey RPF (Sid/Geno), Lucifer, and Supernatural, but everything is welcome.

Special Note to Authors: If you're writing in a fandom set in the NYC area (Avengers, White Collar, etc), and you're looking for a beta for location-related issues in particular, feel free to email me at the gmail address on my profile page.

Posted by: bethbethbeth

It's been 5 years since I've done a major update to this recs page, but I'm finally starting to move bookmarked fic from AO3 to this recs site. Please note that because I have hundreds of fics to move, I'll be using the "share" function instead of coding, and I'm no longer committing to hiding warnings. Sorry about that, People-Like-Me-Who-Hate-Warnings. I'm also not committing to saying why I loved a story (because honestly, I've probably forgotten why by now), but if the story's on this page, I really like it!

FIC (Avengers): "Third Time's...the Charm?" (Clint/Phil, Bruce/Pepper/Tony, Natasha)

Sun, 24 Feb 2013 10:22:09 GMT

Posted by: bethbethbeth

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.

Author: Beth H (bethbethbeth)
Title: "Third Time's...the Charm?"
Fandom: Avengers
Characters and/or Pairing(s): Clint Barton/Phil Coulson, Bruce Banner/Pepper Potts/Tony Stark, Natasha Romanov, JARVIS
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
AO3 tags: Animal Transformation, Corgis, Threesome, Non-graphic corgi shenanigans, Crack, Metafiction
Author Notes: gifted to midnitemaraud_r for REASONS. :)

FIC (Avengers/Hawkeye): "Previously on Dog Cops..." (Clint, Team, Darcy, Jane, Kate)

Sun, 10 Feb 2013 20:45:45 GMT

Posted by: bethbethbeth

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!)

Author: Beth H (bethbethbeth)
Title: "Previously on Dog Cops..."
Fandom: Avengers (movie)/Hawkeye (comics)/Thor (movie)
Characters and/or Pairing(s): Clint Barton, Team, Darcy, Jane, Kate Bishop
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1725

Please note that while my current rec policy is to try and include story warnings, I make no guarantees.

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.

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.
