Fic recs for meeeee?

[raspberryhunter]

So this post started because I'm informed there are SGA fics out there that are better than the actual show, but I'm casting around for things to read and am open to recommendations from any fandom I actually know (including but not limited to SGU, OUAT, Vorkosigan Saga, and ST:DS9) -- or even anything I can read without needing to know canon. I tend to gravitate towards fics that are about more than a particular pairing (I mean, don't get me wrong, it's fine if they're pairing-centric, but I tend to like at least some character backstory/analysis/development and/or rudimentary plot) but I will try anything :) Bechdel Test passing is always a plus :)

but whoops, they're all porn

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT! The things I have read from your bookmarks list are all fabulous -- I didn't even know Councils of Despair was on AO3, that's one of my favorite Vorfics -- and Burn the Topless Towers was one of my favorites from Yuletide. (Perhaps I was unclear -- it's not that I won't read explicit stuff! It's just that it has to have something else going for it besides the porn -- I rarely do PWP's, although I can occasionally be convinced.)

More when I get through your other bookmarks :) Thanks for the suggestion to check them out!

Ha--it's not that I don't want to rec explicit stuff for you, it's just that I feel like I should be recommending something besides the sex. Which is where the "whoops" comes in. And then all of a sudden I'm submerged in the Generation Kill tag, which is not really RPF because of the miniseries, right? And reading about sex is better than reading about war, right?

My fic is being ethically difficult. (pout)

On the Harry Potter theme, Ombra mai fu is FABULOUS Minerva backstory and I'm sure is on Sophia's recc'd list above. I'm not much on Harry Potter anymore, but this stands well away from the teen-angst part of that universe. Go read!
