Rec the Thing

A friend of mine recently asked me to create a couple posts of recs from my database for her - emotional and physical hurt/comfort, and excluding any fics tagged with incest or crack/parody. She also wanted ALL of the themes (tropes and more) listed underneath so it would be very spoilery.

If that appeals to you at all - my previous posts have avoided potential spoilers via the tags - you are also welcome to browse them. I thought it might be useful to link them here:

Emotional Hurt/Comfort
Fandoms: Alphas, FBI CBS, FBI Most Wanted, Flood (2007), Fried Green Tomatoes (book/movie), Push (2009), Speed (1994), The Matrix

Physical Hurt/Comfort
Fandoms: Alphas, C-16: FBI, FBI CBS, FBI Most Wanted, Push (2009), Speed (1994), The Matrix

All of these are fics I read in the past month and enjoyed or found interesting enough to add to my database. I finally caught up to the end of the fics on Fanfiction.net but was only able to enter a few of them so far; the rest will come next time, most likely.

Below are the recs:

If any of the links above no longer work (and are inaccessible via the Wayback Machine), please let me know so I can flag them as "Dead" in my database, thanks!

Enjoy! :)

Tiny fandoms time! (At least the database is perfect for that right now, since those are what I started with.) I've rec'd some of these in earlier posts but I'm starting to lose track of which, lol, other than I know I've rec'd all the ones under 1k and over 50k, so I'll eliminate those here and just show the ones in between, which is a lot of them. I'm defining "tiny" as Yuletide-eligible, which technically includes Matrix fic at this point, I believe. (A bit of a loophole, that, but it's not the only one, at least.) I also eliminated any WIPs (as I did with the over 50k post) because I know a lot of people who don't like reading anything that's not complete (especially if there's little to no chance of it being finished).

Again, ratings from Fanfiction.net were translated into G to R, and ratings from AO3 were translated into PG to X (which was shorter than NC-17). Anything not rated on AO3 or other sites is marked Unrated. I'll try to give warnings if there's anything that would fall under the big four AO3 warnings, and any ships.

I don't promise that all of these are necessarily the best-written (though many are!), just that they have something about them that I've really enjoyed, and hopefully you will find the same thing in some of them. :)

( Crossovers )

( Alphas )

( Cybergeddon )

( Deep Impact )

( FBI (TV) )

( Flood (2007) )

( Fried Green Tomatoes )

( Gold Diggers (1995) )

( Push )

( Speed (1994) )

( Stick It (2006) )

( The Matrix )

Wow, that took a LOT longer than I expected - mostly because I had to skim-read each of them to write something up about them. Next time I'll just skip that part, maybe, lol. But I hope someone finds this list helpful in some way to make it worth it. :)
