Staring Into the Abyss

Snowflake Challenge Day 6

In your own space, rec at least 3 fanworks you thought you wouldn't like (because they weren't your fandom or they pushed against your boundaries or you thought you just wouldn't be interested) and that you ended up loving.

This is hard for me. I read a lot of fic and frankly, I'll read almost anything and am not shy about it. At all. But, I finally came up with some fic that were not my norm that impacted me in some way.

Marvel
Chaos War by astolat | NC-17 | 34,203 | Thor/Loki | It was never easy to find Loki when he wanted to hide, but he wasn't doing a particularly good job of it at the moment. Probably he didn't think anyone from Asgard would be wasting their time hunting for him while the shining ones churned their way steadily through all the realm. | Warnings: Dubious Consent, Incest

♠ Before I read this, I was wanting to read Loki fic, but I wasn't sold on the idea of Thor/Loki, partially because I was still coming to terms with the incestuous aspect. Before this, I had read (and written) incest pairings before, but almost exclusively in the angsty or porny one-shot way, not a novel where the relationship actually grows and develops, but the sheer number of kudos and comments on this fic made me try it. It blew me away. It has one of the best Loki's I've read and I just adored the entire thing. After reading it, I have no problem reading Thor/Loki as a pairing, in fact I quite enjoy it. I may even write it. :D

Hawaii Five-0
The Blood and Love Theory by portraitofafool | NC-17 | 6521 | Steve/Danny | It started as a theory, a curiosity Danny wanted to explore further and something he could do for Steve because he seemed to need it. Then Danny started to need it, too. | Warnings: Bloodplay, Knifeplay, S/M

♠ I had read fic that contained these elements before, mostly late at night and just PWPs, but when I read this I was blown away. This fic slowly showed the development in Steve and Danny's relationship that led to them both enjoying S/M. The way she painted Danny in particular was astounding. For the first time, I really bought this type of a relationship as a believable development of the characters.

Melody, Unchained by somehowunbroken | NC-17 | 6375 | Steve/Mary | They're not hurting anybody. | Warnings: Underage, Incest

♠ This fic belongs here for several reasons. First off, as a rule I don't like reading about Mary, but enjoyed reading her here. Secondly, underage sibling incest is not something I normally admit to reading even if I do (glances askance at the Weasleys), but this one was so well done that it prompted me to want to write my own take on Steve and Mary's fucked up childhood. That's right, this fic prompted me to write my own underage sibling incest. It also made me kind of ship Steve/Mary just a little. This fic moved me creatively in ways I never would have expected.

So there you go, three fic that changed my mind, led me in new creative directions, and pushed my boundaries. :D
