[REC] Stories For Reading And Sharing With Friends

According to my kid's 4th grade teacher (this was back when my kid was actually in 4th grade, which is... no longer the case) anything can be made fun when you do it with a friend. Granted, I think she was actually referring to long division at the time, but hey, whatever works, right? And it's not as if reading fanfiction isn't fun already, obviously, but I've found over the past year that when you can do it in full view of everyone, and post all about how reading something made you feel that day, or what you took from a piece of writing, or just sharing what the reading experience was like, with your friends, it's freakin' fantastic. I've been told that from the perspective of the writers of said pieces, it's kind of a neat thing to see too. So even though the recs project is over now, I'd kind of like to keep going.

So here's the deal. I'll continue reccing, but I can't do it every day, I have to think up a new project now. But I still have all these bookmarks left over, some for stories I haven't even read! And I'm pretty sure these stories are awesome and deserve a ton of praise, in that same way that pretty much every story was awesome if I got as far as bookmarking it for the recs project. I don't want to just keep these to myself. I would also love to read some recs about them, even if I don't write all of them up myself. So, here's my challenge to you:

Pick a story. Read it if you haven't already. If you like it, rec it. Leave a comment here, or send me a PM or an email or a pigeon or whatnot, and I'll update this list to point to your rec. Multiple recs for the same story are welcome! If I might ask a favor: please be generous, and kind, and remember to tell us all about the good parts :) And feel free to pass this on!

There are three parts to this list, because it's too big for one post: Part One is all stories I've read, and would have recced had I not run out of time. Parts Two and Three are unread stories that I'm almost certain are fantastic. In total there are 250 stories, so you know, this should keep us all busy for a while:

PART ONE
stories I read, and loved, and would have loved to rec:
gems you would love too

PART TWO
stories I bookmarked but haven't yet (re-)read:
Stargate SG-1 · Stargate Atlantis · Stargate RPS ·
Supernatural · Supernatural RPS
Generation Kill · due South
Star Trek (TOS) · Star Trek (AOS) · Star Trek (DS9) · Star Trek RPS
Sherlock (BBC) · Sherlock Holmes (2009) movie-verse

PART THREE
more stories I bookmarked but haven't yet (re-)read:
The Avengers (movie-verse) / Marvel Avengers (comics-verses) · X-Men: First Class
Die Hard · Hawaii Five-0 · Inception · The Losers (2010)
Smallville · Sports Night · Watchmen
Hockey RPS · Baseball RPS · Historical RPS
and everything else (tons!)

I hope you take me up on this little reccing project, and we manage to fill this all in by the end of 2013. But even if you don't, I hope you read some of the stories, and enjoy them, and just... have a good time ♥

P.S. A big, heartfelt THANK YOU to every one of you who recced me a story this year. I couldn't have found all of these without you. You are AWESOME.
