Veronica Mars.

Dick

Conflict Resolution by Strongly Worded (One Shot)

[PG-13 Mac begins the healing process and, surpisingly enough, Dick has a hand in it]

Wow. I just love Dick and the author just gets this so, so right. The characterisation of Dick is perfect, with just that extra little bit of something that shows what Dick could be liked deep down. I loved it. This story is in no way boring with a capital b-o-h.

Ghost World by alixnoorchis (One Shot)

[R Dealing with life]

This is a Dick and Mac story. Like i said i love Dick and i love this look at him and how he is dealing with his brothers death etc. I love how Mac is there for him and the sweet progression of Mac and Dick's friendship is fantastic and how they bond over a video game. It's just so Mac and Dick.

Logan and Veronica

How to Hold Your Breath Underwater by Sara (One Shot)

[NC-17 A long fatal love chase, or: your ex lover is dead. Well, as good as dead, anyway]

A nice one shot. Verygreat elemants of what makes Love, Love.

Caricature Of by Sam (everything_inme) (One Shot)

[R Veronica Mars is not dating Logan Echolls. And it's not her fault that everyone seems to think she is, either.]

There are some really great Love fics out there. This one is a favourite. A four part look at the Love relationship with that mix of lighthearted banter that makes Veronica Mars oh so cool.

A Fine and Endless Cycle by the_spin (One Shot)

[NC-17 A freshman year at Hearst and the cyclical nature of love]

I love the mix between the Piz/Veronica scenes/feelings and the Logan/Veronica flashbacks. This could be so canon and i know that even though Piz and Veronica were together when the show ended it was pretty obvious she'd always go back to Logan. I like how this follows on from the finale.

The Necessity of Heat by sadiekate (One Shot)

[R]

An angsty look at a V/L summer. Still lovely as always though.

A Keen Observer of the Human Condition by the_spin (One Shot)

[NC-17 A sleuth in snapshots]

Another great story by the_spin. This is an alternate look at the L/V relationship with some lovely scenes between the two. Love the ending.

Getcha, Getcha, Getcha, Getcha by kantayra (One Shot)

[NC-17 Veronica and Logan prank each other. Really it's shameless the way they flirt]

Haha you just can't help but imagine L/V actually pranking each other in this way. So fun!

How to Hold Your Breath Underwater by Sara (addictedkitten) (One Shot)

[NC-17 A long fatal love chase]

Hello sexyness. Hello amazing story. Hello it's true i'd be pretty hysterical if i'd never had an orgasm. Love the Veronica characterisation in this! Great story.

Jailbait by ladydisdain225 (One Shot)

[NC-17 The author locks Veronica and Logan into a room together until they stop fighting and get it on]

I loved Lamb on VM. I thought he was so silly that it was hilarious and i just love how Veronica gets the better of him everytime. Here is a fun story about that very thing. Another sexy one... (there's a few in the VM fandom hey!)

Narcolepsy by the_spin (One Shot)

[NC-17 'There's a bone in my hand that connects to a drink, in a crowded room where the glasses clink]

the_spin is an awesome L/V writer and this story is no exception. The writer just get's Logan. The story is so true to his angsty, dark side, while staying true to the humour of the show (and Logan's thing with Veronica).

Seven Times Logan Echolls Went to Jail by sowell (One Shot)

[R Who thinks Logan Echolls behind bars is sexy]

LOVE THIS. It's so much fun and funny and i just love the way Veronica is still there for Logan despite Piz. Another great alternate set of events for L/V. Probarbly one of my favourite L/V stories out there!

The Date (Death by Chocolate Remix) by dark_roast (One Shot)

[R]

A lovely little one shot about Veronica Mars doing what she does best... taking control.

The Other Shoe Dropping by sadiekate (One Shot)

[PG-13 Veronica and Logan getting married]

In her summary the author states that she thought L/V would never be able to get married (and i guess it means married in the conventional type of wedding way). This is how L/V would be if they got married.. from the way the question is ask to the wedding itself i love this look at the furture of the L/V relationship.

Misc

Breadcrumbs by Sam (everything_inme) (One Shot)

[PG Veronica leaves. Logan breaks. And Mac tries not to think about what happens next.]

I always did think Veronica was a little harsh to Logan and it comes out in this AU. Plus it has Dick... and he is just amazing when written well... like he is here. Love it.

Gilmore Girls.

Tristan and Rory

Nine Months by Professional Scatterbrain (Abandoned)

[T Tristan returns to Chilton, and to the game, but Rory's not playing. Dark Trory]

If i was to be honest i would tell you i'm good friends with this girl and beta'd this story, but that really doesn't influence how much i love it. It is amazing. Rory is so broken, so much more what a normal person would be like. And the Tristan is sad and strong and there. The description, the language, the story is brilliant.

The More Things Change by Surya (Abandoned)

[M A realistic look at Rory dealing with the choices she made]

This is a very dangerous story line in the Gilmore Girl world but somehow Surya manages to execute this really well. And her Tristan is amazing, so true to form. If the shows writers had actually developed Tristan's character, Surya's depiction is how he would have turned out. This is however, a story that won't ever be updated. Sad.

Girlfriend and its sequel Gone by Hito (Complete)

[NC-17 Rory is becoming dissatisfied with her relationship with Jess, and Tristan is eager to take advantage of the situation.

T Consquences of actions that really should have been thought through]

Tristan's the good guy. The in between's make this story (think the two at Henry's house, the concert etc.) Still one of my favourites.

Leaves by Hito (Complete)

[PG-13 New Years and new resolutions]

One Shot. Hito is a genius.

Sensory Effect by BehrBeMine (One Shot)

[R He wanter her, he wanted this; his happiness lived in her]

This is a really lovely little one shot. I really love the Tristan in this story, i love his choice at the end. The progression between the two (in such a short story) is really quite something.

That 70's Show.

Hyde and Jackie

Secrets by Lirazel (One Shot)

[PG? There are some things no one else knows. And there are things neither one of them can forget]

The first H/J i read. Still one of the best. A one shot of all the times we didn't see on the television. Lovely.

The Unfreezing by Katy Moon Beam (One Shot)

[PG? A detente between Hyde and Jackie]

My very favourite. The writing is gritty and the story line sad, but the ending is quite special. Hyde is true to character and Jackie is true too, but grown up, and it's a nice and mature her.

See Me Watching, Learning Truths by Bobbie (One Shot)

[G? Through Kelso's eyes]

Very short. Well worth the read. And it's Kelso... and what's not to love about him.

Jekyll and Hyde by Mistiec (Misty Flores) (One Shot)

[PG-13 The students at Point Place High knew senior year meant changes. They just wern't prepared for how many there would be]

Sweet. A very sweet story about the development of a very sweet couple. Misty Flores gives readers a real outide perspective of the H/J relationship.

Chasing Windmills by Sooki28 (One Shot)

[T Words can mean anything, depending on their context. A Jackie and Hyde character study set post season eight]

I love the way the author has developed the characters, what she has done to their furture selves and most importantly how she brings them back together. The scenario is very real, the emotions deep, the writing... wonderful.

Broken Hallelujahs by Sooki28 (One Shot)

[T It's the night of her engagement and all Jackie Burkhart wants to do is be alone]

Short, nice, poor foreign guy.

2017 :(

The Morning After by ShaghaiLily

Dawson's Creek.

Pacey and Joey

Sailing by Juliet (Complete)

[NC-17? Continues on from the series final]

This is how you imagine it. The simple act of P/J learning about each other all over again, would have made good television. Juliet really writes the next best thing.

A Home in You by Juliet (Complete)

[NC-17? A look at Pacey and Joeys life in the near distant future]

Quite lovely really. You could never expect P/J to be in a relationship without issues and these issues are so realistic. Another great Juliet story.

Hope is a Four Letter Word and its sequel A Hopeful Life by Juliet (Complete)

[NC-17? An alternative turn of events]

Juliet really is the best P/J writer out there. Her alternative universe stories are interesting and all worth a read, but this one is my favourite. The way P/J manage to slip into a relationship albeit with the expected problems is lovely. The best thing about Juliet is those little things she manages to include in her story (like the first 'mummy' scene in 'A Hopeful Life').


Laundry by Caspian (One Shot)

[PG? Pacey does laundry]

Sad. Very sad. It's how you would imagine it to be. Pacey especially.

Bubbles by LJ212 (One Shot)

[PG? Pacey in the bath]

A very sweet, short one shot.

Never Again by DruesNaughtyAngel (One Shot)

[NC-17 Alternative ending to the episode Love Bites]

This is a sexy little one shot. Pacey's anger is so completly understandable, yet despite it he is still concerned for Joey. It's just so.... Pacey. The author captures his character well.

The 16th by Caspian (One Shot)

[PG? A missing scene from the finale]

Like the author i feel cheated that we didn't get to see this scene on the show. The second best option is this one shot. It's really quite lovely.

The Unadventures of Us by Caspian (One Shot)

[PG? What could have been]

A quaint little one shot.

Everything But the Script by Caspian (One Shot)

[PG? A graduation and a declaration which must have caused sweety palms]

This was really funny. Pacey was really funny. Jack was really funny. I loved it. Good for a giggle.

Old, New, Borrowed by Juliet (Complete)

[NC-17? An alternative forward into the future]

I kind of forgot about this one as i read it ages ago, but i stumbled across it and decided to re-read it. Very worth it. Juliet is amazing, i'll probarbly rec almost all her stories, they're all so good, but this one was really great. I loved Joey's attitude for once.

This is It by Abagail Snow (Complete)

[R? An alternative end of the Joey/Pacey season six relationship]

This was very well written. If only the show had actually gone like this.

One Last Night by Abagail Snow (One Shot)

[PG? A missing scene]

To use the author's words this is extremely angsty. And sad. And did i mention really, really angsty? Definetly a nice one shot and well worth the read.

New Years Eve by Arles (One Shot)

[PG? Joey and Pacey on New Years Eve]

I don't usually like first person stories but this one seems to have become an exception since it is so well written. The fact that Joey asks the big question in this story makes it even more special.

Harry Potter.

Draco and Hermione

The Fallout by Sage (WIP)

[NC-17 Hermione learns about growing up through the redemption of Draco Malfoy]

I don't read any HP fiction anymore except for this lovely thing. I can't tell you how amazing Sage is. This story is like nothing else i've ever read, it's so intricate and her portrayal of Hermione is just so real. This is how the war should have been. The Fallout is by far the best D/Hr story out there.

Adamo Fidelitas by Pixiezombie (Abandoned)

[NC- 17 When Draco makes a potion to fix his love life, things go completely awry. Will he and Hermione kill each other? Or will they find a way to deal with uncontrollable lust, while hiding it from the school, significant others, and Deatheaters]


The most believable D/Hr story out there. While it's never going to be completed it's well worth the read. It has a particularly strong and realistic portray of Draco and Hermione.

Hermione Malfoy by Superscar (Abandoned)
[M At the Request of Dumbledore, Hermione Granger marries Draco Malfoy]

It's the only D/Hr comedy i've ever liked. I laughed. Quite a lot.

Lights Out and its sequel As Beautiful As Days Can Be by Kphoebe (One Shot)

[NC-17 "And that's why there they're this Tuesday night, he and Granger. They walk through the dark places of Hogwarts, after all the dormitory lights go out, and Hogwarts' students resign themselves to whatever waits in their dreams."

NC-17 "Of course you can" she shouts. "You have the choice!" Anger flashes into his own face. "I don't!" Draco shouts, and steps towards her, his body tense. "I don't have the luxury of your choices, Granger!"]

Two of the best one shots. The sex is amazing, the proposal amazing, the hope the two characters maintain... even more so.

Room Serviced by pir8fancier (One Shot)

[NC-17 Post Hogwarts: The War still rages on. Hermione learns that any port in a storm comes at a price]
Raw, broken, real... pir8fancier writes what you'd imagine war to be really like. The final few scenes are beautiful.

Beautiful Disaster by ashleyfanfic (WIP)
[NC-17 Veela Draco discovers his mate is the least likely person on the planet, and the discovery leads him and his father in new directions]
Veela Draco is such a great concept. I love it. And this is the best of them out there.

The Painted Past by Adelaide E (Abandoned)
[T Drace had always thought her bothersome. Like an annoyingly durable fundamentalist of The Church of Harry Potter. She couldn't leave well enough alone, couldn't imagine letting people be their flawed selves. Like Weasley for example]
Another one which doesn't look like it will ever be finished, but the 20 odd chapters are still worth a read. As much as i do love this, and find the plot very interesting it did annoy me to no end that i was never really sure of who Hermione would end up with... i definetly would have felt cheated if i read the whole story and then she ended up with Ron... maybe it's better that this won't be finished...

Reach Out by eyepennies (One Shot)
[M Ron was killed in the Second War, and his death has left Hermione emotionally incapacitated. A permanent resident at St Mungo's, she seems completly unreachable... until someone comes along who might have suffered more than her]
It's a lovely development and the end is quite something. Poor Draco.
