PPC Rec Center/eatpraylove's List

Hello, random person. This is a (partial) list of fanfiction I read that interested me, eatpraylove, and delivered something truly memorable. I hope the same happens to you.

Crossovers
Another Day for the Whooves by Golden Vision - rated Everyone Existence is the Most Exciting Thing of All series by SailorPtah - series rated Mature, individual Books rated Teen The Hetalian Job by RainyMeadows - rated T Paper Mario: The Land of Harmony by Blade Strike - rated Teen
 * Fandoms: Doctor Who and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
 * Complete (has a prequel)
 * Synopsis: Wake up, clean the TARDIS, have some tea, get chased by Daleks, have more tea, lose the Vortex, make muffins, find the Vortex, eat muffins and tea, blow up the planet. It's just another day for the Whooves family!  ...Oh, and Carrot Top has NO idea what's going on. Just saying.
 * I like it because...: It's brimming with the kind of insane, almost-over-the-top hilarity that the best Doctor Who/My Little Pony crossover fics have. The first chapter has Sparkler fighting a Cybermat that broke her coffee mug and Dinky's toys talking to her/each other, and things only escalate from there. Definitely good for reading if you've had a bad day.
 * Fandoms: Welcome to Night Vale and His Dark Materials
 * Book One and first interquel complete; Book Two in progress
 * Warnings: canon-typical violence (including torture), creepy images (mostly due to Strexcorp. Those monsters.), explicit male/male sex scenes
 * Pairings: Cecil/Carlos, OC/OC (within Carlos' team of scientists), possibly Dana/Vithya and/or Dana/Maureen
 * Synopsis: Carlos and his Magisterium-approved team are on a mission to study Rusakov particles in the most theologically interesting community in Hispania Nova. They are in no way prepared for anything they're about to meet. (A partial list: angels, witches, hooded spectres, portals between worlds, and a man who walks around with no daemon in sight and knows things he shouldn't possibly be able to know.)
 * I like it because...: To be frank, this is the best crossover AU I have ever read.
 * Fandoms: Soul Eater and Hetalia: Axis Powers
 * Complete, as are its two sequels (which also come recommended)
 * Warnings: violence (including torture), blood, swearing, attempted suicide/suicidal thoughts (one character)
 * Pairings: Primarily GerIta, though the sequels include more.
 * Summary: It was supposed to be a simple mission: go in, slay the prospective kishin, come straight back out. But when Death the Kid encounters an asymmetrical pasta-loving coward, his life becomes anything but simple. Rated T for violence, swearing and dark themes, but not enough to constitute an M. Image by Skim-ART. First in the SoulHeta series.
 * I like it because...: Well, for one thing, everyone reacts believably in-character to the weirder aspects of Soul Eater. And by "believably in-character," I usually also mean "in a way that gives me the giggles." Italy also gets to be a MAJOR badass partway through, and anything that makes Italy awesome is fine by me.
 * Fandoms: Paper Mario universe and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
 * On hiatus since August 2014
 * Summary: When Princesses Peach Peach [sic] and Daisy drag Mario and friends all the way from the Mushroom Kingdom to Equestria, Mario was expecting (for once) a normal vacation. In a land of talking ponies. However, as luck would have it, tragedy strikes during Princess Peach and Princess Celestia's meeting, when the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony are attacked and the Elements scattered throughout a papery Equestria! Now Mario, Hammer in hand, cap on head, and a baby dragon sidekick at his side, has to save not just Equestria, but the entire world from a sinister plot that was NOT made by Bowser. Cheesy? Yes. Fun? Hopefully!
 * I like it because...: The author wrote it as if he were pitching a Wii U game. No, really, he included controls and everything. Mario's characterization is believable, the OCs work well (special mention goes to Diggsie the Diamond Dog), and the villains are appropriate(ly hilarious) for both canons.
 * Strikes: The fourth wall humor/breaking can get excessive, and as you see from the summary, the author's technical abilities could use some improvement.

Single Fandom
Alphabet Soup by CoffeeIncluded - rated T Better Off Alone by The Great Chicken Miasma - rated T Follow Me by SakuraMota - rated T Fortitude by Ingie - rated T It Takes a Village by Determamfidd - rated T
 * Fandom: Pokémon
 * Complete
 * Pairings: Dualrival (Cheren/Bianca), Ferriswheel (White/N)
 * Summary: N can only remember bits of the ceremony. Bree can't remember anything from before her sixth birthday. Bree White, Cheren Shiro, and Bianca Noir are in no way prepared for what lies buried. Memory's a funny thing, isn't it? Slight Cheren/Bianca, White/N
 * I like it because...: I don't normally ship White/N, but this fic made it work for me. It's that well-written and funny. The author really delves into the logistics of Pokémon (Black and White); how Steel-types stay healthy under a trainer's care, for example, and why people think Litwick "go all dementor on you", as Bianca says (according to the author, they just cause radiation poisoning). Also, she ensures that every time something Sueish happens to Bree, she (the character) has to work her ass off and/or suffer to make up for it, thereby making her not a Sue. Definitely worth your time.
 * Fandom: Paper Mario universe (specifically The Thousand-Year Door)
 * Complete
 * Warning: Physical and emotional abuse within a "family"
 * Pairing: Vivian/Koops
 * Summary: Vivian can only wonder if she'll ever fit in anywhere. Often abused and put down by the world, she quietly laments in the darkness of her own fate... This is a moving tale about how everyone deserves love, friendship... and a second chance.
 * I like it because...: Goes into some really astounding depth regarding the reign of the Shadow Queen, the Crystal Stars, Shadow Sirens in general, and the four heroes who defeated her (the Shadow Queen) the first time. Also, everyone's in character and Vivian's woobie-ness is believable. (I just wanna hug her!)
 * Fandom: Pokémon
 * In progress
 * Pairings: SoulSilver, NewBark (Gold/Kris), Leaf/Green, teased Soul/Red
 * Summary: After Soul lets slip she met Giovanni, Silver sets off, determined to find him, with Soul along for the ride. Can they survive the journey together, or will their tempers drive them apart? Can they get together by journey's end?
 * I like it because...: Good writing, funny interactions between characters, a believable romance arc or three, and most importantly, Silver stays in character. The first fanfiction I ever favorited on deviantART! (Be warned, certain scenes will hit you right in the feels.)
 * Fandom: The Legend of Zelda
 * Complete (undergoing "Epic Edit")
 * Warnings: violence, possible trigger for abuse
 * Summary: Nearly 15 years after Ocarina of Time, Link and Zelda struggle to preserve political peace after their controversial marriage. But when disaster strikes, Zelda finds herself facing far more than political turmoil...
 * I like it because...: Ingie has written a very convincing political-magic-romance-drama while keeping the canons in character (so far as I can tell) and the various OCs non-disruptive. (Except for Ashton, but he drives the main conflict, so...) She does a very good job at portraying Zelda's emotions as well; her fear, her anger, her love. Has a TV Tropes page which desperately needs expansion and editing.
 * Fandom: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
 * Complete
 * Pairings: Fluttermac, Spike/OC, Rainbow Dash/Applejack, others alluded to
 * Summary: Spike only wants things to stay the same. Time, however, has other ideas. He's going to need a lot of help... An Everypony Story.
 * I like it because...: Dragons haven't really been explored in canon, and Determamfidd's vision feels like it could work. It's a coming-of-age story about Spike getting used to his larger body and what that means for Ponyville as a whole. (Here's a hint; lots and lots of drama.)
