Rectember: [Works Over 50K] Star Trek, Supernatural and The 100

[kingstoken]

Dependency by walkingivy
Fandom: Star Trek TOS
Pairing: Bones/Spock
Word Count: 158,197 words (for the entire series)
Rating: T (parts 1-4), E (part 5)
Warnings: Hurt/Comfort
Summary: When Spock and Bones are trapped in a no-win scenario on a slave planet, they become closer than anyone would have thought possible.
Reccer's Note: This story is as good as any of the Star Trek tie-ins I've read with the added bonus of Spones. The author does such a great job of creating believable Trek missions with interesting aliens, while also blending in canon events. It is very McCoy focused, but there are other POVs, and everyone sounds in character. The author also does an amazing job of bringing back small plot points from the early part of the series and making them relevant later on. The romance between Spock and McCoy is very, very slow burn, but feels amazingly worth it. The first four parts (128,197 words) make a complete and satisfying story, the fifth part was a sequel that the author became disillusioned with and never completed, so you can skip it if you want.

One Night by story_monger
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Castiel/Sam
Word Count: 56,289 words
Rating: T
Warnings: Sex work, discussions of drug addiction, some discussion of past child abuse, Non-Supernatural AU, some self hatred by Cas, but he is ultimately accepting of his own and Sam's sexuality
Summary: Castiel has already gone through the rigmarole of coming out as asexual and aromantic. That somehow doesn't stop a few unruly cousins from setting Castiel up with a stupidly tall sex worker named Sam. Castiel is mortified and ready to put the whole thing behind him, except he and Sam inexplicably bump into each other again a few weeks later. It marks the beginning of a friendship that ushers them into new territories, both with each other and the people around them.
Reccer's Note: I don't normally like non-supernatural AUs, but this is one of my all time favourite Sastiel fics. I haven't read a lot of asexual Cas, but I think this fic handles it really well. Cas works at a museum, and Sam is a law student who pays for school via sex work. I think Sam's profession is also handled well, it showcases that it is okay for Sam to be a sex worker, while also not shying away from some of the dangers inherit in that type of work. It is such a great fic that shows Cas and Sam forming an unlikely friendship, and the two them trying to figure out what type of relationship they can have while dealing with a variety of issues. This is also where I confess that in AU fics I love when all the angels are part of a large extended, dysfunctional family, and this fic delivers. This fic is chocked full of side characters, and not just the angels, Meg, Charlie, Benny, Mrs Tran, Ellen, Jo, Ash and of course Dean. It deals with some tough issues while also managing to be sweet. I can't tell you how much I love this fic, I was sad to see it end, I just wanted to read more about their lives together

The Last Outpost of All That Is by gekizetsu
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Word Count: 59,037 words
Rating: Not Rated (but I would say it's M)
Warnings: N/A
Summary: Sam and Dean are the last two people left on Earth
Reccer's Note: The author does a fantastic job describing a post-apocalyptic world where Sam and Dean are the only two survivors, and this isn't like the apocalypse from the show with Angels and Demons, and epic battles, no this is a quiet apocalypse where Sam and Dean wake up one morning and everyone else is gone. Set roughly after the ending of season 2. The story really focuses on Dean and Sam trying to process what has happened, and the trauma of such a situation. It is wincest, but how they come together makes complete sense given the context of the story, they only have each other to turn to for comfort.

A Flower In Autumn by enigmaticagentscully
Fandom: The 100
Pairing: Kane/Abby, minor background Bellamy/Clarke
Word Count: 63,627 words
Rating: T
Warnings: AU - Regency
Summary: A.K.A. The Melodramatic Kabby Regency Romance AU You Never Knew You Needed Until Now
Reccer's Note: If you like regency romance novels you will probably enjoy this fic. The author was able to make Abby and Kane sound pretty in character even though they had been plunked into a different genre and time period, which is a feat within the itself. There are also some delightful cameos from early seasons characters like Vera Kane and Diana Sydney.

6 longer fics for which NO canon knowledge is required. :DDD

* The Romance of Old Clothes by fringecity (Explicit, Yoongi/Taehyung, 59.6k) - Non-Idol AU in which Yoongi is an Art Director, Taehyung is a wardrobe stylist, and they have to collaborate on an important TV project. I really enjoyed the writing, the characterizations, the fact that this was a true Enemies to Frenemies to Lovers fic. It also had a dollop of magical realism that was interwoven into the plot. ALSO, if you like vintage clothing (especially the designer kind) or are interested in fashion at all, then this fic will be a treat.

Oh, and it did something that's a MASSIVE SPOILER in such a skillful way I still <3____<3 when I think abt this story.


* let the light in by sharpa (Teen, Yoongi/Jungkook, 65.6k) - AU in which Jungkook is trying to not fail college while in NYC. Some people have magical powers, some do not. A beautifully written story abt found family, romantic love, and OT7 friendship. Reading this fic gave me COZIEST FEELINGS EVER.


* Fake Sugar by minverse (Explicit, Seokjin/Jungkook, 87.5k) - One of the best things about the Seokjin/Jungkook ship is how GOOD CHAOTIC they can be when they're together. This story does a really good job of showing why Seokjin/Jungkook is a fun ship to check out.

All you need to know is that Seokjin is a competitive eater who ends up getting Jungkook as a fake sugar daddy. It's lolarious from beginning to end with added sexy and sweet moments throughout the story.


* Darling, Just Say You'll Stay by tusaisbts and (Explicit, Yoongi/Jimin, side ships for Taehyung/Hobi and RM/Seokjin, 91.3k) - This fic is set in an Old West AU where homophobia doesn't exist. Jimin travels from NYC to a little city out west to marry a rancher he's never met.

Do you like slow burn? As in actual slow burn? The kind where you're just about to explode because you're 30k in and the MCs are still pining for each other? Then this might be the fic for you. The longing Yoongi and Jimin felt was the best AND worst thing ever.


* Summer Sands by jvante (Explicit, Seokjin/Yoongi that then becomes Seokjin/Yoongi/Jungkook, 94.4k)- Jungkook is a broke college student that, on a whim, decides to join a sugar daddy/sugar baby app. He thinks he's getting catfished when one of the replies is from a v. famous male model...

I really loved the individual dynamics in this story. Since it's pretty long, there was enough time and space for everyone's relationship to get established. It's also hella hot. >:D


* turn up your light by spudcity (Explicit, Yoongi/Jimin, 101.7k) - A fantasy court AU in which Yoongi marries Jimin without any expectations of love. It's supposed to be a strategic marriage...until it becomes something more.

A+ characterization of Jimin (and everyone else, but I really liked the Jimin in this story) plus the way Jimin and Yoongi became a surprise POWER COUPLE. There's also some yummy plot to keep you reading this story late into the night. ;)

In the Shadows of Tall Buildings -- by SorchaR, Kings TV series. Technically it's only over 50,000 words if the whole series is included, but the first story is over 40,000 words, so I hope it's not too much of a cheat. It's David/Jack and takes place after the end of the series. Jack shows up at David's family farm having escaped from Silas house arrest. It goes on from there.

The Fool in the Mirror -- by thepinupchemist, Marvel Film Universe. It's Steve/Bucky. Definitely an AU. It's also A/B/O. It deals with depression and suicidal ideation in Steve Rogers, so heed the warnings. As someone who's worked a suicide hotline, I think it's pretty accurate. It's over 100,000 words.

No Misunderstandings -- by eretria, Marvel Film Universe, Peggy Carter during the war. There's Steve and Bucky, too. Beautifully written and 66,000+ words.

Single Use Weapon -- by Fahye, Kings TV series. Another after the end of the series story. Another David/Jack. It shows Jack in an intriguing light.
