( Pocketful of Posies... and Plague )

Well, I had vague thoughts that I'd read all the stories and then make one recs post with all my favorites in them. Then, I started reading... and there are too many good stories for me to fit them all into one post! So, here goes part one of a two part series of recs. :)

************

Burn Notice

penmage wrote What You're Thinking While the World is Ending. PG-13. First things first, this was written for me, so I am naturally biased. But, that said, this would be high high on my list regardless. It is *awesome*! The POV is second person, which I can't write to save my life, but it works so fantastically for this piece that it's like watching an episode of the show. It's absolutely incredible, and I'm convinced you'll love it as much as I did if you read it.

lyl_devil wrote Life After. R. I can't even put into words how fantastic this fic is. It's pitch perfect for all the characters, has a riveting plot, a fantastic villian, and Michael is a ruthless and amazing as he really is. Plus, Fiona. Oh, man. Fiona! Gah. That's all I can say about her without devolving into a fangirl. A quick summary: With the government in ruins, Michael's skills are in demand again, despite the burn notice.


Psych

storydivagirl wrote The Four Stages of the Psych Zombie Attack. PG. This fic has it all. It has Shawn. And Gus. And Henry! Not to mention zombies and squabbles and laugh out loud humor. It's a true gem of a fic in a fandom without enough fic to begin with!

gryvon wrote The Four Stages of the Psych Zombie Attack. R. I am not generally a fan of Shawn/Lassiter fics. This one has gone a long way to making me reconsider. The portrayal of Lassiter in this fic, through Shawn's eyes, made me look at the detective again myself. It's sweet and bittersweet, and very nicely done.


Supernatural/X-men

nekare wrote Migratory Birds. PG-13. Epic. That's the only way I can think to describe this fic. It picks up at the end of X-3, is basically an AU for all of Supernatural, and is so good it hurts. I am utterly blown away by the detail and world crafting, the ease and skill applied to this crossover, and the intensity and depth of the plot. In a word, this fic is fantastic. Told from the Winchesters' POV, it's a tale of brothers who end up on opposites sides in the mutant v. human war, and the realization that sometimes family, however it's defined, matters more than anything else. Plus, the other characters that appear, X-men and Supernatural both, are just superbly written.


X-men

danniisupernova wrote Anumarana. PG-13. Beautiful and bleak. This isn't a request that I asked for, but it's similar to one that I asked for. What happens if Magneto wins? Haunting and heartbreaking. Told from Pyro's POV, it's his deconstruction from god to insect again.


resolute wrote World's End, In Ice. PG. This was a seriously creepy fic, in a very understated way that will crawl through your thoughts when you're trying to sleep. It's resolute, so you already know it's quality story-telling, but I was very impressed by the story she didn't tell here, as well.
