Yeeek! I found another awesome fan fic! A Pokemon AU called Journey of an Autistic Trainer! It's an AU where Ash is re-imagined as being autistic, and events are different from the anime. It's only six chapters in, but I'm already madly in love with it! Pokemon fans or autists, read it!

Title: The Meaning of Love

Author: Kaiyosei

Fandom: Sailor Moon

The promises we do not speak of by Blue Jeans

Immortal cage: an impasse to nowhere land by Blue Jeans

These two connected stories by Blue Jeans are some of the most melancholic Helios/Chibi Usa fanfic I've ever read, but it's written very beautifully and the bittersweet ending had me in want of tissue at the end. ;_;

Forevermore by Nasu Hasami

A modern AU where Lady and Helios are a normal, young married couple. But in the intervening years since their marriage the two have started drifting apart, until one of them could bear it no more. There are small bits of humor sprinkled through out, but for the most part it's a serious contemplation about love and how some times we become complacent with our relationships. I love this fanfic for it's depiction of the ups and downs of a marriage, and it offers an interesting look into what life might've been like for these two had there been no magical powers and they are but two ordinary people working through a low point in their relationship.

Dreaming gods by Singing Muse

A short story about the relationship between Saturn and Helios during the Silver Millennium. It examines the platonic relationship the two had, as two children living outside the world of humans and gods alike.

SailorMoon Crystal Generation by Ame Yumeko

A story I am currently obsessed with, the author does a fantastic job of not only fleshing out the Sailor Quartet, but also her original characters in this version of the 30th century. It's very hard to describe this story without giving away spoilers, but the insinuations of character's true identities and the mystery surrounding their motives and the truth behind their enemy has me perched on the edge of my seat. There's also a character named Pegasus Kamen, and you know with a name like that things have to be interesting (though I can tell you this Kamen character isn't who you probably think he is).

So... A very long time ago I read a fic that was basically an AU retelling of the final battle in the DK arc from the 90's anime and it was freaking amazing. Still Beryl and the DD Girls but reimagined. I think there was a little blood description and stuff but nothing over pg-13... I've never found it again since but I haven't looked very hard because how does one search for it in the huge mass of fics out there without knowing the title or author?? OTL

Does anyone happen to recognize my description of it? Please tell me I didn't dream it up OTL.

Have you heard about that fanfic where someone in the Harry Potter world has an ideology the author really likes and it's superior to everything the wizards have and makes him or them super powerful?

No?

How about the one where the ideology is "being a powergaming Dungeons and Dragons munchkin" and they're exactly as insane as the wizarding world in a totally different way, and turn every plot into an absolutely beautiful trainwreck? And the prose is brilliant and hilarious, the workings of the magics are better thought out than in either source material, the dialogue is memorable and has such gems as "If they have newspapers, then they have a society. And if they have a society, then they have morons. And if they have morons, we have a way in." and everyone is insanely likeable, even Draco, even Lucius Malfoy, even Hufflepuffs*? And it's the best fanfic ever?

Harry Potter and the Natural 20

*Nothing wrong with Hufflepuffs of course. Perfectly respectable house.
