doranwen: female nerds, rare and precious (Default)

I don't have a lot of rarepairs to recommend, as either the fandoms are so rare that any fic for it is rare, or the rarepair fics were not my favorites for various reasons, but here's a handful of excellent ones.

[Alphas - Lee/Rachel] Six Kisses of Rachel Pirzad by Teyerin (3468 words)
At first the idea of this relationship raised my eyebrows very high - but by the time I finished reading, I was smiling at it. It's an interesting one!

[Rookie Blue - Dov/Gail] To hell with it by JadeSelena (7654 words)
A S2 fix-it for a pairing the show only used as a means of breaking up Chris/Gail. (What a waste of screen time when you could have this!)

[Rookie Blue - Dov/Gail/Chris] A Series Of (Un)fortunate Events by amathela (8290 words)
Not only are there very few fics for these three together, this fic has them as a poly vee ship, which is a rare version in the fandoms I've read so far (admittedly, I haven't seen a ton of poly ships in my favorite fandoms), with Gail as the pivot. It's all very fluffy.

[Sue Thomas F.B.Eye - Myles/Tara] WNE 1: Weekend in New England by aubreysmom (23459 words)
This fic was the one that got me to see the potential in Myles/Tara. I've seen those two that way ever since. It's not *exactly* shippy but it feels shippy enough to me, and the sequel to it is most definitely shippy. (You can find the sequel from the author's profile, but it's definitely a part 2 of 3, and they never wrote the third… This one can stand on its own.)

The rarest of rarepairs for STFBE I would share a link to (it's a Myles/Sue fic!!!), but it was only hosted on RomanticFanfiction.com (which went down years ago) and since one had to log in to read the fics there, none of them were saved in the Wayback Machine. Back in the day I painstakingly copied it into an epub to re-read (and I'm really glad I did, now), because it's super well-written. It was called Surrogate and written by JoM. Mentioning here out of honor for the rarity and the great writing.

[X-Men Original Movieverse - Scott/Ororo] Loss of Composure series by Diana / Titaniafae / Dee / viscerate (no wordcount available)
I've seen this author's stuff in at least three or four different places with a different name each time, so I'm really not sure which nick they prefer! But no matter which it is, this series is really well-done and was one of a tiny handful of fics that taught me to love Scott/Ororo. I linked to the overall fanfic page because it has the whole series all linked together there and in the correct reading order, and the fics themselves aren't linked one to each other.

Happy reading!
