Desert Island Fics

[unfeathered]

So, last Friday, jadesfire2808 requested this: I'd love to know what your 'desert island fics/vids/fandom-items' would be. 10 stories, vids, pieces of meta that would sustain you were you to become cut off from the rest of the world. You don't have to explain (unless you want to) but I'd love to know.

It's taken me a while to get my list of ten, and they're all fics (rather than vids etc.) because that's what I'm most into, but I've done it now and am posting it here.


(Listed alphabetically by author, in case you're wondering, because I couldn't decide on an order!)

Change by becky_writing because it’s hot and something about it just gets to me. I just keep wanting to read it.

Gotcha! by becky_writing because it’s incredibly powerful and hot (to me, though I know others don’t find it hot) and it sparked some absolutely fascinating onversations.

Naked by becky_writing because it’s hot and pretty much perfect. One I can read over and over and never get tired of.

Behind Closed Doors by janedavitt because it’s Giles/Spike in a D/s relationship, and because it’s gorgeous and dark and sexy and I have read it over and over again and still love it.

Old Man series by donutsweeper because I beta’d it and it’s dark and painful and feels incredibly realistic.

The Key by jadesfire2808 because it's an awesome account of the possible ways Jack's deaths recounted in Utopia. It also sparked several follow-up drabbles, including three by me. :-)

Show and Tell by mad_jaks because she wrote it as a follow-up to my fic, Lessons Learned and it’s hot and beautiful and wonderful.

I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then by _medley_ because it's Ten/Simm!Master at their best. It's also the story I found _medley_ by, and I'm so glad I did.

A New Dawn by omphalos because it’s Master/Doctor with a side of Jack at their best. Brilliant characterisations and a great story, exquisitely told.

Forget by smithy161 because it's beautiful and its ending is quite possibly the most painful I've ever read, and its sequel Remember because that makes it all right again and is equally beautiful.

*nods* You're on a list. :-)

It's a great fic, plus I still remember the thrill I got when you asked me if you could write it, because my story had made you want to!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

And *I* remember the thrill I got when you said yes *bounces*

Did you seriously think I'd say no???? *g*

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

I remember being terrified you might and nearly not asking you!!

[unfeathered]

Ah, you silly thing! It's incredibly flattering - I can't imagine anyone who'd say no! Thank goodness you did ask!

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

Good list! Especially that last one - I hear she's a stunner, too ;0)

[unfeathered]

She really is. *g*

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Can't say I've ever heard of her myself *smooches*

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

Well, she's nowhere near as good as that mad jaks person!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

LIAR! She's every bit as good if not better ♥

And we'd better not carry this on too much or Anna might feel obliged to knock our heads together ;-)

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

True, she might!

*blushes* and *feels guilty* yeah.. the old man series... I'm still working on that... right...

[unfeathered]

It's all right! It feels complete enough for me not to worry about it. I just... I think because I spent so much time on it, betaing it, I just feel really close to it and think about it a lot. :-)

Aw, thank you so much! I'm glad you found me too. *nods*
