Same old same old...or fic recs
So because about three people on my flist wanted it, including birthday girl
siubhlach , here are the same J2 AU fic recs - but this time organised by theme rather than alphabetically.
Man, themeing is really hard to do. I've tried to put them in categories based mainly on genre or job if it impacts story, but chances are I got it horribly wrong. If there are any you think really don't fit, let me know :D

you have rec'ed a few i've already read and the others are turning out to be so much what i love reading.
i have only gotten through the first theme and am almost done with the second one (i was going to start the gaming au by keepaofthecheez, but the tag doesn't exist. after some searching, this is the correct tag: http://keepaofthecheez.livejournal.com/tag/fic_july)
most of this stuff has been omgsohot and i am so grateful you put together such an awesome list of recs.
thank you!!!
no subject
Oh cool. Thank you. I didn't realise the link had changed for that fic. I have updated it... :D
You're very welcome. And in all seriousness it is pretty cool to hear that your finding lots of stuff you like from it!

*g* It probably wouldn't take so long if I didn't keep getting distracted by the fic & thinking how I really just should re-read that one... :D
no subject
I can only read AU because the actual "real" people thing squicks me out, but bring on the cowboys and teachers and hookers and space hookers!
I've read some of these, and I can tell that you have phenomenal taste. You're so awesome for doing this.
Thanks so much!
*dives in*

Yeah, I guess when it's a total AU fic, they can be like puppets with Jared & Jensen's faces on. The rest you can make whatever you want. Hee - I hear you on the space hookers :D

I'm taking a break from work this week just to go through this list :) Your comments on each story help IMMENSELY; so far all your favorites have been mine.
Pure gold.

I'm really glad you find it useful. Ha ha ha - a week for fic reading? That's a great plan! I've got this week off too & might end up doing the same :D

i've read a few by Vamphile where her stories has Jared as the weaker one, and i love those ones a lot, just as i'm sure others do as well.

Firstly, I guess, these are just meant to be my personal recs and not a completest list. The only criteria I have for fics for inclusion is that I really enjoy them. This means that they probably do run more to top!Jared fics as that's my preference [and there also seems to be more of them!]. However, that is only a minor part of what makes fics good for me, and there are some in these lists that do match your request, such as in the AU one there's 'The Homework Verse' by
The AU, established relationship, getting together & illness and injury rec lists do all contain fics with that relationship dynamic, they're just not singled out. Neither are they sorted the other way. Hopefully though, the authors summary and my comment should help direct you to those fics that have what you are looking for.
So I know I have a [PWP based] toppy Jared recs list and again, that's a personal preference but it also means that I'm probably not the best person to offer a bottom!Jared recs list as it's not totally my bag and I might not necessarily give those fics the love they deserve. It's a preference issue not a good or badly written fic issue, but recs should come from people that are really moved and joyous and inspired by something and not something done out of completest duty...y'know?
I plan to rec a vamphile story next time I update, but it will be TKO which I can see is the opposite of what you're looking for.
If you're looking specifically for those kinds of fics, there's a post on
I hope that make sense...

I just found this post and it's like a gold mine! I can only read J2 AU but my googlefu sucks. You literally saved my life (and hours of looking through LJ). LOVE.
no subject
Awwww. I'm really pleased to hear it's useful. Thank you. LOL, it can be overwhelming when you're looking for fic, I'm sure there are still loads of great stories out there that I've missed! But YAY glad you like it \o/

Speaking of that: I was very -shall we say- intrigued by the Basketball!AU Verse description (in the hooker, strippers & pornstars section;) only to be very sad to find the link now leads to a purged journal (ze_pink_lady). Luckily a friend of mine knew where the story moved to. In case you ever update the list of awesomeness: the verse can now be found here (http://narkypoon.livejournal.com/tag/basketball!au).

Oh cool. I'm pretty crappy at being aware of changes so you have saved me a hunt when I did eventually notice. THANK YOU. I've just updated the lists with your link :)
no subject
There’s things on here that I love, things I’ve lost, and things I’ve never even heard of. I’m so happy! *squee*
no subject
Heeee. I love finding and re-reading lost fic, you get such a warm glow of happy nostalgia. Glad the list was of service to you :)
