Some random FF VII and KH recs

Fri, 26 Jan 2007 01:23:47 GMT

You may not like any of these but I figured if you were hard up for fic they might keep you occupied for an hour or so. LOL They're mostly WIPs and may not have substantial slash. I hope one of them can amuse you though.

Also, Mouthful of Poison updated. I hope that it continues to update. I want to see Jenova!Cloud. ^_^

Title:The Other Side
Author: Spaerle
Rating: T
Pairing: None
Summary: Cloud meets a friend on the outskirts of Midgar.
Comments: Oneshot This story so made me go all woobie. I thought it was very cute and hope that you get a kick out of it too. I only wish it had another chapter.

Title:The Only One
Author: Ostara Ravenwood
Rating: T
Pairing: Reno/Cloud
Summary: Rufus is rebuilding ShinRa from the ground up, and has a position in mind for Cloud. Will he put aside his resentment for the opportunity of a new life?
Comments: WIP It hasn't been updated since October but it's an interesting plot and is written well.

Title:Darkshines
Author: Matinee Idol
Rating: K+
Pairing: Sephiroth/Cloud
Summary: The least he can do is offer Cloud that dark euphoria.
Comments: Oneshot Nice KH crazyroth POV fic on what he intends to do with Cloud. XD

Title:Next to Never
Author: Takefuji
Rating: T
Pairing: Zack/Cloud
Summary: Zack awakes to find himself in Halloweentown. Convinced that Cloud is alive somewhere, he is determined to find his best friend again . . . even if his friend doesn't remember him.
Comments: WIP Zack lives!fic but set in KH instead. Really interesting so far and hopefully will be updated soon.

Title:Not Like They Used To
Author: inky2
Rating: T
Pairing: None?
Summary: Cloud's appearance at the end of the game comes as an unpleasant surprise for Cid Highwind. Soon, however, they set off on an adventure.
Comments: WIP Set in Kingdom Hearts. I love how this author kept the FF VII back story for the characters instead of going with what KH said it was. Also, I thought it'd be awesome if there was a fic where Cloud and Cid hung out together in KH and was delighted when I found this. May not be your cup of tea but I figured I'd link it.

After promising you this for months, Krysti, I finally sat down today and just DID IT (hopefully soon I'll be able to devote a similar day to my fanart list, but I have the feeling that's going to take much longer to compile...). So here it is, for your reading pleasure (hopefully?), my giant list of bookmarks.

Comments: WIP This is the fic I was talking about! Cloud is sent to an AU where he was evil in order to help the heroes there that took him down. Considering they don't trust him and Jenova keeps trying to make him her "Son" doesn't make it easy. Very good story so far. I just hope that the author updates it again soon. *crosses fingers*

Title: Darkness Rising
Author: Chibi Nataku
Rating: M

Summary: [COMPLETE! SephxCloud yaoi pairing Cloud made a deal with Hades to search for someone, but he may have taken off a bit more than he expected. There are some in the world that wish to control him for more than his fighting ability!
Comments: Takes place in the Kingdom Hearts game and has an AU past for Cloud and Sephiroth but what I've read so far is great even though I know nothing about the game. LOL Written extremely well. I need to finish reading this one.

Title: Mouthful of Poison
Author: Konitsu
Rating: M
Pairing: Sephiroth/Cloud (I think)
Summary: Jenova has claimed Cloud Strife as her second son. What will Avalanche do, caught between the Calamity, Shinra, and the end of the world – with a familiar face staring at them from the other side of the battle lines? Timeline Divergent AU

Title: Bandages
Author: Konitsu
Rating: M
Pairing: Sephiroth/Cloud
Summary: FFVIIVIII Distrust, dishonesty. Can two groups put aside their suspicions long enough to destroy the danger that Jenova represents? Not if Cloud and Squall kill each other first.
Comments: WIP Despite the fact that I know nothing about FF VIII this is a very good story that involves Psycho!Sephiroth and he totally takes control over Cloud and stuff. XD Good crossover story.

Author: XD (I love this author's name, LOL)
Rating: K+
Pairing: Sephiroth/Cloud
Summary: In a world where Materia is but a mere memory, the Planet demands an ancient war hero be brought back to neutralise an ancient war threat. Cloud has always been condoning of the Planet's wiles. Not quite so anymore, now that Sephiroth is in the picture.
Comments: WIP Great story! Features Sane!Sephiroth being summoned to the future where Cloud and Vincent are still alive. I really like this story and hope you do too. :)

Title: Untitled 5
Author: xblackstatic
Rating: T
Pairing: Sephiroth/Cloud
Summary: [YAOI : Se x Cl] Reasonably cliched amnesia centric fic with a bad title. So kill me.
Comments: WIP It's been 20 years since the end of FF VII and Cloud has become the General for Shinra. Long story short he has an accident that makes him remember nothing after being 15 years old. Well written story except I got thrown off by the plot twist in the last chapter but I still plan to follow it.

Okay here's a website with some S/C fics some of which I've recced already. noire . sensus

*pokes link list* I know I've got some more stuff in here but I need to organize and find it. *coughs* Anyways, I think this is the majority of what I've found. Hope you enjoy reading and don't mind that they're mostly WIP.

BONUS: That Kadaj/Cloud fic I was talking about.

Title: For the Reunion
Author: chibi_nataku
Rating: PG
Pairing: KadajxCloud
Summary: An AU of the church scene in AC
Comments: *luvs* I wish this wasn't a one shot so bad! Read it I know you'll like it...XD

Title: We Can Be Like They Are
Author: spurkycreations
Rating: NC-17/Adult
Pairing: KadajxCloud
Summary: Cloud gets tired and gives in. Warnings character death.
Comments: I get a kick out of the photo manip they did. It's too bad they didn't use one of the screen caps where Cloud's eyes were naturally like that. I liked the idea behind this story and wish they could have expanded the whole geostigma part. That and the end's sad but since it was one of the few geostigma!Cloud fics I've found I wanted to share.

I also have read some other Kadaj is into Cloud fics just gotta relocate them but that's it for now. Hope ya like!

LOTR Reincarnation/Modern Time recs!

Fri, 11 Aug 2006 04:51:55 GMT

Title: The Patient
Author: Scribe
Rating: T
Pairing: Possibly Aragorn/Arwen, I don't really remember.
Summary: When Dr Aaron Stone is asked to conduct a psychiatric examination of a patient with severe schizophrenia, he becomes the key to unlocking a mystery that alters everything he knows of the world and his own past.
Comments: Awesome reincarnation story set in modern times. One of the ones I read like a few years ago. I'm really happy I managed to find it again. I remember enjoying it a lot so I'm going to re-read it. XD

There is also a sequel but I don't remember if I ever finished reading it. I'm just going to have to read that one over too then. ^_^
Title: Triumvirate
Author: Scribe
Rating: T
Pairing: *shrugs* Same as above?
Summary: The one who made it. The one who unmade it and the one who was unmade because of it. With these prophetic words, Aaron discovers that darkness did not die with Malcolm and his plans for global chaos is still alive. Sequel to The Patient.

Title: Unblinded
Author: Victoria Hughes
Rating: T
Pairing: No main paring is featured
Summary: Something has gone horribly wrong, and all the work of the Valar has been undone; Middle-Earth is utterly destroyed. And in the modern day Sauron rises again ...
Comments: Doesn't really have reincarnation but a descendant of one of the Fellowship. Focuses on the Elves and also brings in Maglor from The Silmarillion. It was a very good fic but it looks like the author has set it aside for other fandoms for now. I hope that it'll be updated once again but I can't be sure. However, what was written was very good.

Title: There and Back Again
Author: Down the Rabbit Hole
Rating: T
Pairing: Just what's featured in the books already.
Summary: Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter crossover. Takes place during Harry's fifth year. The mortals of the Fellowship are reborn and they have recovered their memories.
Comments: Yes, it's a reincarnation crossover fic. Be still my heart! lol Unfortunately, it also has not been updated in some time but what is done is well worth reading!

Title: Brothers In Arms
Author: The Nightrunners
Rating: T
Pairing: Sam/Frodo, Aragorn/Arwen, and maybe Eoywn/Faramir
Summary: (AU Modern-Day) Part 2 has started. Warning: Do *not* perform CPR on the elf unless you want to drastically screw up your life.
Comments: It's a reincarnation fic that takes place in a future that's pretty grisly and ordinary humans can have odd mystical powers. The Elves are still around as well. From what I remember the reincarnated Frodo was being targeted by the modern Nazgul and the Elves were searching for him to protect him. It's a long(there's a separate part 2 to this fic which is up to 28 chapters) complicated story that has 39 chapters, but it was really good once you got the hang of how their world works.

Amanda's HP Rec List

Wed, 09 Aug 2006 16:15:33 GMT

OMG, after MONTHS of trying to get this together (I am so slow, and I wanted to re-read the majority of them so I could make comments, LOL), I've finally finished it. My rec list of favorite HP fics. Yeah, it's kind of small, but that's only because the majority of the fics I read don't often turn out to be favorites; I'm a little picky when it comes to fic.

I am planning on updating this whenever I find another I love, so keep checking back!

Last updated 8/9/06

Amanda's HP Rec List

Completed Fics

Careful Who You're Caught With by maxine_chan
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; HP/DM
Rating: M... which is... R?
Comment: Eeee! I've always liked this fic. I read it a long time ago, thought I'd lost it, and then re-found it (which is always a good feeling). I've seen several stories with the "magic mistletoe" plot and this one does it the best. Eeeee again. XD

A Consummation Devoutly to be Wished by mirasfics
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; HP/DM
Rating: NC-17
Comment: I swear this has to be one of the only actually good Veela fics ever. It's also a humor fic and completely awesome. It has to be on every HP/DM rec list from here to the end of the world, and so it is on mine as well.

The Crush Trilogy (I, II, III) by hackthis
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; HP/DM
Rating: PG? PG-13?
Comment: I really like the style this fic is written in. And it's sweet, but not sickeningly so, which is good.

Draco Malfoy, Ruler of the Universe by sarahtales
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; gen.
Rating: PG-13
Comment: Another parody fic (I do love them). This one's great, especially the Obviously Evil Defense Professor.

A Huge, Horrible, Drunken Mistake by spectacular
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter, HP/DM
Rating: Er... PG-13?
Comment: Another semi-sweet H/D fic, middling in length. An enjoyable read.

If You've a Ready Mind by sarahtales
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; HP/DM (eventually), other pairings in between that I don't really feel like going back and listing right now, sorry. XD
Rating: ~~Awesome~~ Err... PG-13? It's been so long since I've read some of the earlier chapters I can't really say.
Comment: OMFG, OMFG. I love this fic so much. Just OMG. The plot is really interesting, the writing is just brilliant, characterization fantastic; just an all around great fic. Not to mention I have so much love for the glasses-wearing Ravenclaw!Draco. <3

In Between by spark_of_chaos
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; HP/DM
Rating: R
Comment: This is so completely the exact opposite of what I would normally read - a serious, angsty fic with character death, written in first person. However, this fic's so interesting that even I was able to overcome my usual fic prejudices (LOL), and I really enjoyed it.

A Lot to be Upset About by thegraybook
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; DM/GW
Rating: PG-13
Comment: I always refer to this fic as "That one where Harry talks in caps the whole time," because it is. And that's why it's so fantastic. Harry seems to be completely insane and Draco is the only person who noticies. This fic has me in absolute stiches through its entirety.

Something Impossible by thegraybook
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; HP/DM
Rating: PG
Comment: Semi-short, sweet, and funny. The Gryffindors are amusing in this fic, and Crabbe and Goyle are portrayed brilliantly (literally, LOL).

Stealing Harry & Laocoon's Children (years 1-2) by sam_storyteller
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; SB/RL
Rating: PG-13 - R
Comment: God dammit, I love this story and the giant sequel(s) it spawned. I think this is the way half of us wish Harry Potter would be -- the One Big Happy Sirius, Remus & Harry Family. <3 Laocoon's Children, which focus on Harry's Hogwarts years, are brilliant in that they follow the plot lines of the books but are totally different at the same time. Laocoon's Children is on year three right now (see WIP list), and I'm eating up every chapter.

Tempus Fugit by stylophile
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; HP/DM
Rating: R
Comment: An enjoyable, multi-chaptered time travel fic (omg <3 well-written time travel).

Walking the Line by silentauror
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; HP/DM
Rating: NC-17
Comment: I remember following this fic on pins and needles, checking it regularly every day to see if it had updated. A really interesting approach to the aftermath of HP6.

WIPs

Laocoon's Children, year 3by sam_storyteller
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; SB/RL
Rating: Er... PG? (I am so bad at rating un-rated stories)
Comment: See Stealing Harry entry for all my gushing on this series. <3

Sex Magic by velvetblood_fic
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; HP/DM
Rating: NC-17
Comment: This fic is rather slow updating, but I don't mind so long as it keeps updating, because it's quite interesting.

KKM Rec!

Sat, 22 Jul 2006 00:39:03 GMT

Found this story over at FF.net. Try it out it's pretty good!

Title: Of Age
Author: Lena Inverse
Fandom Kyou Kara Maou
Pairing: Yuri/Wolfram
Rating: M
Summary Demon Law states that on one's sixteenth birthday, he has to decide what to do with his life. With Yuri’s birthday just three weeks away, he finds himself filled with uncertainty about which world to call his home. (Author's summary)

Hope this helps alleviate the KKM fic withdrawals. XD

To Do!

Thu, 13 Apr 2006 23:32:24 GMT

When summer vacation begins and I actually get some time, I plan to create a big rec list (which I will add to over time) for my own further reference and also for you to peruse. I really need to do this because there are so many good fics that I read and lose because I don't save the links, and, you know, they all kind of blend together over time, so yeah. I need to do that.

I'm writing this here so I don't forget when the time does come. ;)

-- Amanda

All the HP fic you ever wanted!

Fri, 31 Mar 2006 02:48:12 GMT

All right, so! I was browsing my fanfic links, and I found something I can't believe I never fully explored before.

painless_j has a shit-ton of HP fic lists organized by theme. If that wasn't awesome enough, he/she updates these lists. Regularly. To top it off, he/she has a list of other thematic lists.

Thanks to these lists, I was able to find the fic I had mentioned to you earlier.

Tempus Fugit by stylophile
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; HP/DM
Rating: R
Comment: I read this awhile ago, so I don't remember much except that it's a time travel fic and I enjoyed it. Or at least I think I did. I must have, or else it wouldn't stick out in my mind like it does. Anyway! Here it is!

OMFG wheeeee!

Sun, 26 Feb 2006 03:52:27 GMT

Dude!!! Let's join some KKM fic communities or something! I can't stand waiting to read fic before I finish the series OMFG!! XDDD

-- Amanda

I Found It! falls over in relief

Thu, 16 Feb 2006 05:23:55 GMT

Title: The Chrysalis
Author: Mina (vikkir)
Pairing Luke/Mara (but she's dead so...*shrugs*)
Rating Uh, didn't see one. Let's say PG-13ish
Summary: 22 year post ROTJ, with the Republic defeated by the Yuzzan Vong, the Jedi dead, and Mara dying, the Force sends Luke and his infant son, Ben, back in time to ESB Bespin to change the future. Which is something of a for shock, for both Luke and Vader...

I lifted the summary straight from the author. *is lazy* After hours of searching I finally found the livejournal where this story lives. *cries tears of joy* It's also been updated since then! *rubs hands together gleefully* This is an awesome time traveling story. NJO spoilers, but I don't really care because OMG good time travel fic! God, I'm so glad I found it again.

And here's a slashy Star Wars time travel rec but also extremely well done.

Title: White Rabbits
Author: Diana Michelle (butterfly)
Pairing Anakin/Obi-Wan Some Han/Leia
Rating: Depends on the chapter. PG/PG-13 to R/NC-17
Summary Through some mishap Obi-Wan and Anakin end up on post ROTJ Coruscant. Does not follow the EU book canon. Slash develops as story goes along but there's a lot of great Anakin interaction with Luke, Leia and Han. All the characters seem to get fic screen time. Isn't updated as frequently as it used to be, but it's up to 38 parts now. I highly recommend it.

~Krysti

OMFG

Thu, 16 Feb 2006 03:41:10 GMT

OMFG -- Big Bang 2.

I so totally don't have time to read all of these novel-length fics right now, so I'm going to save this for another day. Seems like they have a lot more fic than last time, though, so this is exciting. I absolutely loved (I think) two of the four from the first Big Bang.

Current WIPs

Fri, 10 Feb 2006 01:16:09 GMT

Okay, here's a list of all the WIPs I'm currently reading. These all link to LJs. None of them (except one) use tags or anything, so I just linked the authors' main journals. If you're interested in reading, unfortunately you'll have to scroll back and try to find them yourself. Sorry!

If You've a Ready Mind by sarahtales
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; HP/DM
Rating: R?
Comment: Realistic Ravenclaw!Draco! This fic is so amazingly fantastic, but I don't know if it's going to be finished. She was updating fairly rapidly but stopped for other writing adventures, it seems. Don't know if she's going to pick it back up, but I'm hoping!! Extremely well-written.

Sex Magic by velvetblood_fic
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; HP/DM
Rating: NC-17.
Comment: This fic is built around a pretty interesting (yet highly improbable -- IMO) concept of a "sex magic" class that Fred & George enter Harry in as a joke. Rarely updates, but good enough for me to keep looking back for updates. The last chapter ended on a cliff hanger. :/

Walking the Line by silentauror
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; HP/DM
Rating: NC-17
Comment: This fic had me a bit confused at first (probably due to my not paying attention) but I kept following it and I'm so hooked. Updates quite often.

Velvet Captivity by elfflame
Fandom & Pairing: Harry Potter; HP/LM
Rating: NC-17
Comment: I feel so awful for liking this (I don't know why), but I do (like it, I mean). SO MUCH. Anyway, this fic is being written for fanfic100 so it's not linear at the moment. Awhile ago the author posted a (linear) list here. I'd recommend (if you even want to read the fic -- I don't know if you'd find the pairing squicky) reading the fics in the order posted there, then go back and read the new ones she's posted since posting that list. Even though the pairing in question is notorious for scariness and squick, this one is relatively tame -- a little bit of non-con, I'd say, but not in a scary or horrible way.

WTF. My mouse is being el diablo. I just gave you new batteries, mouse! Stop it! *lays beatdown*

Title: The Water's Edge
Author: obaona
Fandom: Star Wars
Pairing: None(slight Padme/Anakin, Siri/Obi-Wan if I remember right)
Rating: K+(ff.net rating)
Comment: Okay, this story is Obi-Wan centric and it's post ROTS. It was written I think before the movie came out so if there are any inconsistencies then that would be why. The basic plot is that while fleeing from Vader Obi-Wan is sent by the Force to a reality where he no longer exists and his past was a lot darker. The story has characters from the Jedi Apprentice series and mentions events from those books. It isn't too hard to get the gist of what went on and who the EU characters are. Main one to look out for would be Xanatos who was Qui-Gon's apprentice before Obi-Wan and turned to the darkside. I think anything else gets explained.

Why do I like this story? It gives Obi-Wan the opportunity to see people(and angst) that were killed in his reality as well as have to face all of his issues and hang ups. It's got an interesting plot and was written believably. In short it was awesome and I was addicted to it like crack when I first found it. If you're in the mood for a good reality AU story this is it.

And that's my first rec ever as well as my first post. *grins* I think this is going to be fun.

So here's our new fic journal, and I'm really looking forward to adding some communities to the watch list and putting up some recs to share. I'm really glad we decided to go into this together because I probably would have felt really dumb doing this myself. Wheefic!
