Fic Rec #49
Why yes, it is a fic rec, thank you for asking. I actually feel a little awkward posting this so quickly after the class-on-fanfiction clusterfuck, but I'm also not a professor and this is my personal blog. Just... maybe don't leave any comments on the fics if you're not used to it, okay? I'd kind of hate to think I'd accidentally subjected someone to an influx of morons. Not that you guys are morons... yeah, I'm just going to stop while I'm ahead here.

Interruptus
Fandom: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Category: Slash
Rating: Hard R

I can’t usually play video games very well. They all seem to have that damn shaky-cam thing that makes me sick to my stomach, so I really only use my PS3 as a BluRay player, with a few exceptions for games I know I can play. Yeah, I know. But I do like to play games on my phone, because it’s small enough that it doesn’t upset my stomach. Anyway, Capcom released the Phoenix Wright games for iOS so I’ve been playing them in my spare time, and I’ve really enjoyed them. So of course I went to go look for fic (especially for Phoenix/Edgeworth slash)… and I’ve found plenty. In this one, people keep interrupting them at the most awkward times. While this fic isn’t quite to the NC-17 level I’d still consider it pretty NSFW, so keep that in mind.

Steve Rogers at 100: Celebrating Captain America on Film
Fandom: The Avengers
Category: Indeterminate (see notes)
Rating: PG-13

This story is kind of hard to describe. It’s certainly completely different from any fanfiction I’ve ever read. Parts of it are written like someone’s term paper for a film studies class, some parts of it are in blog excerpts, a good portion of it is like a movie script, and only a very small portion of it is actually anything you might recognize as a fanfiction. Basically, Steve turns 100, so there’s going to be a film festival dedicated to presentations of him in movies. He and Bucky end up watching them… which usually doesn’t end very well. The poor guys end up seeing themselves totally bastardized in the popular imagination, and the unorthodox (well, is anything about fanfiction really orthodox to begin with) format works exceptionally well.


Turnabout Pizzeria
Fandom: Crossover between Five Nights at Freddy’s and Phoenix Wright: Apollo Justice
Category: Gen
Rating: PG-13
Completion Status: 38 posts, sequel in project (possibly dropped sequel)
Notes: The on-screen violence is not particularly graphic, but what is hinted at to have happened in the past is extremely disturbing.

If you want a good creepy story, this is for you. Five Nights at Freddy’s is a survival horror video game, where you are a security guard at a Chuck E. Cheese style pizza parlor overnight, where the robotic mascots turn homicidal at night. I’ll be honest- I’ve never played the game, largely because of my inability to play a lot of video games, but I read a lot about it, and know the basic storyline. In this fic, Apollo and Athena get a job as the security guards and work to discover the truth behind the homicidal robots. What turned the robots into the “kill all humans” type is truly horrifying- I don’t want to give away what happened, but if you’re easily upset I’d give this one a pass.

The Boogeyman’s Lullaby
Fandom: Rise of the Guardians
Category: pre-slash
Rating: PG-13
Completion Status: 20 chapters, in progress

While the current rating of the story is at PG-13 and there hasn’t been anything really slashy yet, if this story continues on its trajectory it’s very likely that the rating will change and it will become more slash, rather than just pre-slash. Jack is very close to becoming a hikikomori when he receives a weird email that summons something into his room… a very bad-tempered boogeyman.
