The Fandom Snowflake Challenge: Day 9

[ashesandghostff]

 In your own space, rec at least 3 fanworks you thought you wouldn't like (because they weren't your fandom or they pushed against your boundaries or you thought you just wouldn't be interested) but you ended up loving. 

Oh, boy. Here we go.

So, first and most obvious: 

 

Something Almost Tender by oanja. I rec'd this one back on one of the previous days. It's Omegaverse, firstly, and secondly, Zach Parise/Mikko Koivu?! What?! But seriously, it is incredible. I adore it. It's one of my favorite soulbonding fics. 

Must Love Quidditch by dracosoftie. First of all, it's 103k words. Something you should know about me-- in general I don't read fic longer than 20k or so. Just out of time constraints, I prefer shorter fic. This one is NOT SHORTER FIC. Also it's heavily based on a big fat secret and misunderstanding, which are usually tropes that drive me CRAZY. This one, though, the misunderstanding part isn't actually dragged out too long, they get their shit straight pretty quickly, and there's a secondary issue that's not misunderstanding based for the second half of the book. Oh, and? It's kidfic. I don't usually read ANYTHING involving children, but the kid in this book isn't annoying and doesn't take away from the story at all.

and finally:

The series Stark Technologies, For All Your Text and E-mail Requirements by kyaticlikestea. I wasn't sure about this one at first, because some of the pairings-- I mean, Bruce Banner/Thor?? But it is SO FREAKING FUNNY. Seriously. I almost hurt myself trying to stifle my laughter, reading it at work.
