Hello!

Recs for many a fandom here, if you are interested in fic...and who isn't! I want to know. Actually, don't tell me. You'll break my heart.

I threw caution to the wind this morning and wore a linen dress to work, yes, in the middle of winter. It was nearly 80 degrees here today, yo', and I think we're firmly between Labor Day and Memorial Day, so I'm not sure which I'm before and/or after. I'm a wrinkled mess, is what I am. Linen! *iron fist* I bought this dress two years ago and never wore it because it pretty much didn't fit by the next day. I figured if I didn't wear it now, I might never get the chance, damn the consequences. There haven't been any consequences but there might have been. You never know. A boy passing me on the sidewalk told me he liked my dress and winked at me. It's been a long time since anyone flirted with me that I'm not sure that's what it was. He could have been a cross dresser and simply really liked my dress. I'm not judging. It's a very pretty dress.

So MPREG. I just. It boggles! I know I've talked about here before but it is so prevelent in the Suits fandom and I'm gasping for fic because the show comes back in two days so there are pictures of Gabriel Macht looking perfect and Patrick Adams being tall and geeky and flat out wonderful so sometimes, you know, it happens--not to me, but I've seen it happen to other people. I would never want to find out someone made fun of something I wrote and shared, so I won't do that here but...mpreg! Oh my goodness. I don't understand and I keep reading it because nobody is churning out really good Suits D/s fic on a daily basis, which I need.

Also Kili/Fili. It doesn't appeal and yet it totally does. I like gen, too, but the thing is, I love romance. So far, Kili/Fili has been all high angst because...you know...brothers. *sigh* Why couldn't they have been second cousins once removed? Not that it's stopping me from reading if the fic seems well written... Luckily some kind souls have written gen and that's good, too, and I like it, like I said, but. I'm really not feeling Bilbo/Thorin, which seems to be the other option, and, oddly, Hobbit RPS didn't catch me in the same way Lotrips did.

Nobady's churning out really good Suits fic. Full stop.

I tend to stay away from mpreg fics. I've read them, if they've been highly rec'd to death by everyone I know, but otherwise, I stay away. And for some reason, I'm just really uncomfortable with D/S in Suits fandom. Too much of a power imbalance I think. Also, I tend to think of Suits as one of my previous work place and getting D/S into that scenario is just... *brain explodes*

Yeah, I have a weird brain.

I have no such similar compunctions. More D/s for me :D I like the power imbalance, to be honest, I think that's kind of what does it for me. I would be completely appalled by the same dynamic in reality but fic? I'm all right with it. It helps, I'm sure, that it doesn't really connect with anything or anyone I know. I think if I was in your similar position, I'd probably be bothered by it, too. Since I'm not, alllll the D/s for me :D at least with Suits.

There have been a couple of all right fic but yeah, I wish there was suddenly a great treasure trove of really great stories.

Do you know, I used to be super squicked by mpreg. Like, seriously, OMG EWW WTF IS THIS type reaction, but then Omegaverse with its self-lubricating asses and sometimes D/s leanings came into my life and now I roll around in it, luxuriating in the amazingness. I think non-Omegaverse mpreg might still make me side-eye, because HOW, okay? But Omegaverse answers that question, and so I can let go of my chokehold on reality and go with it.

Really, though, D/s fic? Done well it is a complete treasure, and I do treasure it, because there's a lot of folks out there who, uh, don't do it well. I say that because D/s is one of those things I will read any fandom, any pairing for if it's good, so I've read it in tons of corners I might not have ventured into otherwise. D/s, omegaverse, and daemon AUs, I'll try anything anywhere. That being said, I'll be checking out your recs. I love recs, so thank you in advance! =D

It's funny because the one I wasn't complaining about here was an mpreg in Omega verse, which I had actually never come across before in all my wide and varied fandom travellings. It was jarring! I was all What! Reflecting though, this actually makes mpreg at least make some sense--it provides an answer to some biological questions that were hanging me up :D I suspect I'd read another (who am I kidding! of course I'd read another) but the one I was reading was really crass in its language, which is what I suspect mostly put me off.

D/s yes! So I'll make a rec: Needs Must (http://archiveofourown.org/works/330890/chapters/533978") by thatotherperv. It's actually how I stumbled into Suits fandom. I wanted to read D/s but "starring" Remus/Sirius and there wasn't any, so I looked on AO3 for one I could substitute the characters for the one I wanted to read, and this was it. Except about three chapters in, I was more interested in the stories and characters as written. It was compelling. And then suddenly I was in the Suits fandom, so I thought maybe I should watch the show before I finished my first fic (it was a close thing :D) What I like about it is that not only is it in character (totally is) and not only is it hot (oh yes) but there is a lot of negotiating that happens and discussion about aftercare.
