Reccing from the SOUL, I tell you.

Holy fucking shit. I was just going back through a bunch of calufrax recs that I'd missed and I came across a story that has blown my mind. Blown my friggin' MIND. The original rec can be found here but I feel the need to rec it again because I love it more than I have loved any story in a long, long time. And considering how much fic I read and how incredibly awesome so much of it is, that is REALLLLLLY saying something. I'm not even sure what it is about this story that has killed my brain, but holy crap.

It's about Ian and Barbara after they make it home and it's nothing like what canon and fanon say their post-TARDIS life was like. It's a million times better and a million times worse in ways that are so utterly, UTTERLY in line with who I believe they were and who they had become that I was actually in tears reading it. It was like discovering a truth I hadn't even known I was looking for.

Am I being super dramatic? Yeah, I know I am. And who knows if anyone else will even enjoy the story. All I know is that I feel crazily moved from having read it and it has made me fall more in love with Ian and Barbara than I'd ever thought possible.

So, go read The Nooks of Soho by VMG. Even if you're just curious about what could make me go all swoony like this. ;-)

This one goes out to all my Torchwood peeps.

Apparently I did something right this week because all this fabulous fiction is falling in my lap. That makes me a happy, happy girl. It also makes me a happy, happy reccer. The ever-awesome paperclipbitch just posted an incredibly sick and absurdly delicious piece of Jack/John perversion that makes magnificent use of both canon and 2nd person POV. I know you sickos are gonna really dig this one. It's just SOOOOOO twisted and perfect.

I Nothing But To Please His Fancy

Oh, Jack. You really are a majorly fucked up dude. No wonder I love you so much.

OT: I wasn't just referring to fan fiction when I said I've been reading kick ass stuff this week. My friend lent me a copy of World War Z and I devoured it in a night. Best book I've read in far, far too long. Powerful and haunting and utterly horrifying. I can't recommend it strongly enough.
