And I managed to read some pretty amazing fics, too, so recs for a few of my favourites under the cut:


The Hawk and the Bat (6587 words) by sevenofspade
Fandom: DCU - Comicverse, Marvel 616
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Stephanie Brown, Kate Bishop
Summary: Stephanie Brown's fight with gravity carries on into the next universe.

This was the fic written for me, and it is so, so amazing, seriously. Steph falls through a wormhole or whatever to the Marvel universe and teams up with Kate, and it's just, <3 <3 <3. BEST TAMUP EVER, this fic is pretty much my life right now.

Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown, Damian Wayne

Summary: In which Black Bat and Batgirl save the day. Err, night.

Steph and Cass teaming up to save Damian! This fic is super amazing, and basically it gives me all the Batfamily feels.


We come correct, we keep it clean (2915 words) by jouissant
Fandom: Hawkeye (Comics), Marvel (Comics), Marvel 616
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Clint Barton & Kate Bishop
Characters: Kate Bishop, Clint Barton, Lucky (Hawkeye), Hawkeye (Marvel)
Additional Tags: UST
Summary: She couldn’t remember the last time she’d seen him without a mess of assorted bandages on his face. They didn’t call it getting into a scrape for nothing; Clint Barton was proof enough of that. Stop staring, Kate.

Kate, Clint, and a wedding. Which goes about as well as you'd expect, given canon. Very true to the comics, and a lovely snapshot of their relationship.


No Crash Landings (2262 words) by jouissant
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Saga (Comics)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Relationships: The Stalk/The Will
Characters: The Stalk, The Will
Additional Tags: Freelancers gonna freelance, Backstory, Childhood Sexual Abuse, Pre-Canon
Summary: "I know what you must be feeling right now, darling. I escaped monsters a lot like these ones when I was just about your age."

or: a girl, a spaceship, a master plan.

Saga fic! I'm loving Saga so much, and I really love The Stalk, so I was delighted that someone actually wrote this. This was the perfect backstory fic for her, tying in her relationship with The Will and their relationship in the comics.


The Unexpected Univille Telecommunication Phenomenon (5507 words) by lilacsigil
Fandom: The Middleman (TV), Warehouse 13
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Lacey Thornfield/Wendy Watson
Characters: Wendy Watson, Lacey Thornfield, Ida (The Middleman), Leena (Warehouse 13), Claudia Donovan
Summary: When Lacey wins a grant to bring confronfrontational spoken-word performance art to small towns around America, the mere mention of Univille sets off Ida's alarms. Wendy Watson is ready to discover the secrets of Univille and maybe even finally get to attend one of Lacey's performances.

This is a super amazing The Middleman/Warehouse 13 crossover, because it turns out those things go together really well. Awesome case of the week, featuring Lacey's signature confrontational spoken word performance art and some adorable Lacey/Wendy at the end.
