Day 6

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) and that you ended up loving.

Title: Wing Trilogy: The Man Who Rose From Earth, Flux and The Rise and Fall by

trinityofone
Stargate: Atlantis. Rodney McKay/John Sheppard. 850 words, 1,385 words and 2,100 words. Yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

Here trinityofone transforms an over used cliche and turns it into something beautiful and haunting, a great character study of the characters.

Title: The Stolen Child by

atdelphi

Harry Potter. Albus Dumbledore/Severus Snape, Mature, 2500 words

Albus Dumbledore is not quite human..
Warning: mention of mental illness and implication of child abuse

To put it politely, I'm very not into Snape. I haven't ever thought of Snape/Dumbledore before I click on the story. But this story's beautiful and slightly creepy. The characters are very them too.

Title: Prelude by Veszelyite

Angel Sanctuary. Alexiel/Jibril, PG13, 2200 words
Summary: Alexiel and Jibril, before the start of the second rebellion in Heaven

Jinril's kind of a non-entity when I was reading Angel Sanctuary, and this story gives life to her and makes me ship this. Awesome.

Title: Humorous TOS Episode Commentaries by Laura Godwin (Kirk/Spock)

It convinces me of slash, of K/S, and shapes my ST: TOS head canon and a lot of things.

Once upon a time, I wasn't a Americal superhero fans. Once upon a time, I could barely tell you who Captain America and Iron Man were.

Now I'm still in the Captain America/Iron Man fandom. I write, read and interact with other fans.

Because of the people behind the coms.
