NOTES: This is ever-evolving/always under construction. Feel free to suggest stories or inform me of broken links in the comments. And I should warn you: my tastes are... kinda strange. ALSO: I highly encourage you to leave comments at the stories. Doesn't matter how old the fic is. Just do it. :D

A note on categories: PU = Parallel Universe, where canon is mostly the same, just with a twist that we know not to be true in the universe. AU = Alternate Universe, where all bets are off.

Fast & Furious RPF

Vin/Paul

Voices Off (explicit) (1,476 words)
Author's summary: Vin and Paul had to have seen each other at the MTV Movie Awards. What went on between them?
Thalia's thoughts: Unicorn-rare pairing, and this fic captures their essence in a short, hot scene.

Harry Potter

Leverage

Eliot/Hardison

The Epiphany Job (teen) (3,609 words)
Author's summary: When he rolled out of bed that afternoon, heated up some Philly Steak & Cheese Hot Pockets for breakfast, and then went to the office, Alec Hardison was not expecting to experience a paradigm shift.
Thalia's thoughts: The 'adorkable' tag is so, so applicable.
How To Seduce Your Geek (G) (2,364 words)
Author's summary: There is a right way, a wrong way, and then there is a geeky way.

Merlin & Merlin RPF

Oceans #

Danny/Rusty

Advantages (NC-17) (no length given)
Author's summary: [none given]
Thalia's thoughts: Set after Ocean's 12, this fic had me at 'the Assorted European Forces of Profitable Evil' and never let go; it balances on the razor edge of sharp wit between humor and angst, just as it should with these two. It's well-paced and admirably written, and that sounds like a brush-off, but trust me when I say it is well and truly not.
Chump Change (14A) (no length given)
Author's summary: Danny met Rusty at the New York State Fair.
Thalia's notes: A humorous and believable origin story that you'll immediately want to see on film.
Most Important (no rating given) (774 words)
Author's summary: Danny is split two ways and it's hard to choose.
Thalia's thoughts: Post Ocean's 11. Perfectly in-key, in-tune, and in character.

Pirates of the Caribbean

gen

Men of Good Fortune (PG) (no length given)
Author's summary [none given, but here's my favorite line: And Jack was never one to tell another that their treasure wasn't fine, so that was that.]
Thalia's thoughts: Reverse chronology what-if that is Sparrow and Norrington based, but shows a lot about the rest of the cast as well. All while being beautifully written.
Untitled (PG-13) (346 words)
Author's summary: [none given]
Thalia's thoughts: Elizabeth Swann, post Dead Man's Chest. Plenty said in few words.

RED

gen

The Sharpest Lives (PG-13) (2,743 words)
Author's summary: Cooper is home sick over the Christmas holidays while his family is away, and Frank takes it upon himself to keep him company.
Thalia's thoughts: What can I say? It's Cooper and Frank and soup and banter.

SGA

McKay/Sheppard

Cleave (NC-17) (~15,000 words)
Author's summary: v. cleave (klev): 1. To split with or as if with a sharp instrument. See Synonyms at tear. 2. To adhere, cling, or stick fast. Rodney bit his lip and shrugged. "Welcome to my world Colonel. Want your EpiPen engraved?"
Thalia's notes: Now, listen. I've never seen any SGA. I'm not 100% sure I even know what it stands for. And yet, I enjoyed the hell out of this (non-AU) fic.

Sherlock (tv)

Sports Night

Star Trek (reboot) and Star Trek (reboot) RPF

Supernatural & Supernatural RPF

Wonderfalls

Sharon/Beth

Five Times Sharon Had a Cigarette, and One She Didn’t (PG) (no length given)
Author's summary: This was so, so much worse than paying way too much attention to the models in Seventeen.
Thalia's thoughts: Painful but lovely Sharon character study.

X-Files

crack

Diamonds in the Rough (no length given) (no rating given)
Author's summary: When a Nebraskan farmhouse disappears, Mulder and Scully trace the answers to the diamond industry in Canada, and find more than they anticipated.
Thalia's thoughts: BRB dying of laughter. Meta-humor ftw. My fave was TLG. And of course the making out.

X-Men First Class

Charles/Erik

Short People Got Somebody To Love (none given) (1,658 words)
Author's summary: Erik watches and admires.
Thalia's thoughts: In character and light-hearted and hot.

crossovers

Harry Potter/Pirates of the Caribbean

Parrot (PG) (no length given) (gen)
Author's summary: Jack's always been an odd bird.
Thalia's thoughts: Awesome premise, and at times startlingly well-written.

Harry Potter/Star Trek

When Harry Finally Got Ron (teen) (no length given) (Harry/Ron) (Kirk/McCoy)
Author's summary: While on a Starfleet/Hogwarts exchange (work with me here) Harry gets Ron to admit his feelings. Doesn't hurt to have the Enterprise's CMO and Captain in on it, though it probably would've been polite to have informed the First Officer.
Thalia's thoughts: You will wee yourself laughing. THERE'S DOLL-ON-DOLL ACTION. ENOUGH SAID.

Sports Night/Harry Potter

Draft Day (PG) (no length given) (Dan/Casey)
Author's summary: Charlie is 11.
Thalia's thoughts: The perfect premise for such a crossover.

Sports Night/Studio 60

Bert and Ernie (PG) (~1,100 words) (Casey/Dan)
Author's summary: "I think the Bert and Ernie sketch is more subversive than it seems."
Thalia's thoughts: So very in-Sorkin, and will make you clap your hands gleefully.

Star Trek/Doom

Family Reunion (PG) (no length given) (Kirk/McCoy)
Author's summary: [none given]
Thalia's thoughts: Most STXI/Doom crossovers involve Bones being John, for, well, obvious reasons. This one does not, and it pulls itself off admirably.

Star Trek/Iron Man

Tonight (I’m Fucking You) (NC-17) (5,100 words) (McCoy/Stark, McCoy/Kirk)
Author's summary: Tony meets a hot, intriguing stranger at a fundraiser. Obviously he takes him home.

Thalia's thoughts: A hilarious, moving, action-packed, extremely well-written crossover with the Harry Potter universe, just post DH and 'All Hell Breaks Loose'. It's fucking genius. Just trust me on this.
