Fanfic Recs

[lotus_beauty]

Since I love reading fanfics, I figured I should rec some. Thing is, I didn't start saving fics in my memories til recently, so what I rec will probably all be TVXQ related ^^;;

This is for my reference as well as letting people know what I thought was well written, and hoping to let the authors know their writing and story was enjoyed ^_^v


TVXQ

Fiction:

By Any Other Name by wreckingtrains
pairing: Yunho/Jaejoong + tons of random characters
type: unfinished, multi-chapter AU
why: Despite being unfinished, this fic was pretty damn amazing. I do hope she ends up finishing it because while the plot was ridiculous, she pulled it off so well and made the characters believable. I really enjoyed reading this fic a LOT. Mostly I just loved Jaejoong carrying around a gun and being all >[ faced XD But don't we all? 8D

of book stores and word vomit by holdmetightx in maskyouwear
pairing: Yoochun/Jaejoong, Yunho/Changmin
type: one-shot
why: oh god, I could go on about how much I love the awkward interactions in this fic, but I adore the way Yoochun is completely bowled over by Jaejoong at the beginning and thinks he's going to die from it XD Just, GAH, I love this fic XD And Jae's hair tied up is a plus XD

ERROR: ♥ by mrsedjack
pairing: Jaejoong/Changmin
type: one-shot
why: oh man, the way Changmin practically trips over himself because of Jaejoong is hilarious. I love their interactions and the way Jaejoong flirts.

Porn Star by dong_bang in kiiteruno
pairing: Jaejoong/Changmin
type: multi-part - she has them all linked together, so just click the link to the next chapter when you finish one - status is ongoing ^^v
why: oh god, how can I express my fangirly glee at seeing someone portray Jaejoong as a porn star like they should have long ago. I absolutely love the characterization in this fic and especially the way Jaejoong acts toward Changmin and calls him kid (and uses ♥s in his texts XD). If you haven't read this one, YOU MUST! :D It's well written and it will make you laugh at points just from Changmin's pov ^_^

Dune by butterflyweb & nemesis_cry
pairing: Yoochun/Yunho
type: multi-part - part 1/2 | part 3/4 | part 5/6 | part 7/8
why: I had commented to kenaressa on the pairing Yunho/Yoochun and she said she couldn't wrap her head around it at all. I lamented to vanilla_klise that I hardly ever saw the pairing and hadn't seen it lately (since jaeho seems to rule all 9.9) and she recommended this fic. I was surprised by how I found myself liking the plot and the way the two interacted in the fic. And omg, THEY ACT LIKE MEN. Shock and awe XD The plot is a mix between Dune and My Enemy Mine (is how she described it after she finally got me to watch Dune). It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I found it well written and plotted out.

i'm ready to change my facebook relationship status if you are by yassan
pairing: Yoochun/Junsu
type: one-shot
why: hilarity through text messages. I reread this from time to time just to laugh hysterically XD

dear heechul-sshi. by unlearned
pairing: none really
type: one-shot
why: Changmin waxing poetic to Heechul on Yunho's phone is just pure crack.

Where Junsu Gets Away With Everything by sugarfrosting
pairing: OT5
type: one-shot
why: because it's SO true.

boxers or panties? by sleepish
pairing: Jaejoong/Yoochun
type: multi-part - part 1 | part 2 + art
why: I usually hate mpreg and genderbending, and stay away from them like the plague. shinigamitabris linked this to me and I loved reading it. The art that went with it was great too. I really liked Jae's thoughts concerning Yoochun and uh... yeah I won't spoil it XD;

Five Ways To Say Goodnight: Way 5 (Extended Version) by kallistei
pairing: Jaejoong/Changmin
type: one-shot
why: seems more like a good morning than goodnight, but who am I to complain? :3

the comfort of fireflies by kallistei
featuring: Changmin, Jaejoong
type: one-shot
why: it was just very sweet ^_^

know this place like the back of my hand by kallistei
pairing: Yunho/Jaejoong
type: one-shot
why: because I liked the vignettes sprinkled throughout the whole thing. very sweet.

the shape you take by kallistei
pairing: Jaejoong/Yoochun
type: one-shot
why: "Rough sex in the kitchen." nuff said.

A slow dance (to bring the evening home) by kallistei
pairing: Yunho/Yoochun
type: one-shot...ish (has a very short part that happens before it, but it's linked on that page ^^v)
why: liked the way the unexpected pairing of 2u comes out in this. I like how they interacted and got together. Dance club + alcohol are a plus XD;

be the breath on my face by kallistei
pairing: Yunho/Changmin
type: one-shot
why: I think this was the first Homin I read and it got me on a kick of reading that pairing for like, a week XD I liked the way they played off one another and their interactions as well as the dialogue.

Love Spectacle by quirke
pairing: Yunho/Jaejoong
type: one-shot
why: ah clutziness, they has it :3

A Black Tie Affair by kallistei
pairing: Yoochun/Changmin
type: one-shot
why: boys in a limo. what more could you ask for?


Art:

corkart : love the way she captures their facial structures and expressions :3

jumotic : does mostly Yunho/Jaejoong stuff, but she does pretty well with body structure for the most part and their faces ^^

city_of_gods : her art is more her own style than the actual way the boys look, but it's really well done and I love the way the images are manipulated with color and design




Gundam Wing

Asylum by Spooks (scroll down to the fic title to read ^^)
type: multi-part - includes prologue, 13 parts and epilogue
why: When this fic was posted, I thought it was absolutely amazing. The imagination that went into this fic was astounding to me and a lot of other people who read it at the time. I think it was posted in 2000 on the y!group I was on. To be honest, I saved every part to my hard drive as it was written and I probably STILL have it, just hidden away on the old hard drive that I don't use much anymore. I haven't read it since I got out of the GW fandom, but I still love this fic to bits.



My favorite Final Fantasy VIII fics are all up on Noire Sensus, so I'll have to go through there again and find the ones I really liked ^_^

[lotus-beauty.livejournal.com]

lol, np! i tend to read humor stuff or things friends send links of to me. i dont often go finding things on my own unfortunately XD;;

[ekkusuchan.livejournal.com]

read many of those recs. do you have more, since you gave it a tag? ^^

[chelsea101jung.livejournal.com]

woah...gundam wing has fanfics O.O

[lotus-beauty.livejournal.com]

every fandom has fanfics, trust me XD

[chelsea101jung.livejournal.com]

u can probably tell i've been too fixated on tvxq fics xD ...but never imagined that...so anime and manga series too? scary and awesome world out there ^^

[chelsea101jung.livejournal.com]

oh yeah...a bit late but u don't mind that i've added u, do u? do i have to explain my name and such cuz some authors tend to want that 0.o

[lotus-beauty.livejournal.com]

anime, manga, tv shows, groups, you name it has fanfics. you haven't been in fandom long, have you?

i don't see why you'd have to explain your name, this makes no sense to me O_o;

[chelsea101jung.livejournal.com]

actually 4 years? about...although i've only been in tvxq fanfics for a year or so..i have to confess i started with ronin warriors although i didn't realize until earlier this year that it was an anime series...i thought it was just a story that someone created online and posted it for others to read and then i found yunjae and realized it was somewhat similar but didn't think much of it.....opps really long comment. just to summarize, i love tvxq fanfics and occasional jpop fanfics but just didn't realize until u told me that things have fanfics? lols...sorry if that block of words was too much to read >.< might have overdone my explaining
and sometimes, authors want to know ur name and just say something about urself...i think it's so that they know somewhat who friended them and such...familiarity maybe? i'm not really sure...
i'm guessing that this huge comment was a side-effect of the holiday spirit? no? xD just to end the day....MERRY CHRISTMAS! ^^

random, but ilu :D

I couldn't remember who wrote Porn Star, and I lost the link when I reformatted my hard drive last year...I found your post googling it, and now I am going to go and re-read the yumminess ♥
