Save me from myself.

I've spent most of the morning plot bunnied hard from a prompt I can't claim (not to mention with a plot more involved than anything I really have time to write at the moment.)

I don't know if the internet has soured me on a source so much as taught DO NOT ENGAGE with certain fans (House is the fandom that taught me that duscussion boards may well be of the devil, and I'm convinced that the reason I've had such a positive experience with SPN fandom is that I stay away from the anon comms.

Although some parts of the Sherlock fandom (especially the response over Elementary) have not made me go out of my way to catch up with S2.

[peachpai.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've heard SPN fandom can be very wanky, but I've personally never experienced it. I think you're right and that it is all about where you hang out. XD

I know what you mean about Sherlock fandom. I really enjoy the show and I'll read fics my friends write or rec to me, but I don't actively participate. It's too frightening. :/

Oh God, I will answer this again and more fully when I'm home and have my bookmarks. Um. Hell Or High Water by electricskeptic. Contrapasso. Virtually everything by strangeandcharm (strangenessandcharm on DW, now) but especially Some Guys Have All The Luck. That one where Cas and Dean get trapped in Ohio. Oh, the 2014 Dean/Cas/Jo one thinlizzy2 , I love that one and can't remember the name.

The Butterfly Effect is still my favorite SV fic, and there's a fic on AO3 called When The Storm Is Through that is everything I could want from a Clint/Coulson/Nat fic.

More later!

I've mentioned this before, but a few months ago I had a vivid dream where the angels, demons and hunters were Sons of Anarchy style biker gangs. It works alarmingly well.

And I'm sure this exists somewhere and I just haven't found it, but there needs to be an AU where the Avengers are an Oceans 11/Leverage type team of super thieves.

[kattahj.livejournal.com]

Both of those sound awesome. (Though I'm partial to the thieves, for my own fannish reasons.)

Checking Ao3 for Avengers thieves brings up these results. I haven't read the stories.

Man. I don't know? I don't think I'm that good with cracky stuff. The fic where Cas gives Dean a hellpuppy, maybe. Hellpuppies are always cute.

2 if you please.

Clint/Coulson hadn't even occurred to me as a pairing until I read sirona_gs fics about them (I'd forgotten Clint was in Thor entirely!) I think I would have come around to Clint/Coulson/Nat anyway - I loved her relationships with both of them in the movie, the voice crack in the phone call and Phil calling her Tasha and her teasing him about his cards, and of course the obvious connection between her and Clint - but going into the movie with those Clint/Coulson fics in the back of my mind certainly helped it along.

SPN wise, Dean/Victor had never occurred to me until I saw fics of it and then it was like, "Well, obviously." Sometimes my slash goggles are cloudy; I didn't see Doctor/Master as a potential pairing until I saw it in fandom either.

7 please and thank you.

I must have been about 3 when I got all squeeful about Maria and Luis realizing they were in love on Sesame Street(I vividly remember this.) And I can't say it was a ship war because I had no one to war with, but when I was around 6 I was very OTP about He-Man/Sorceress and would get very cranky about episodes that shipped him with Teela. (I hated Teela. The episode where she falls down the Bottomless Pit was one of the highlights of my childhood.)
