PPC Rec Center/Zingenmir's List

Hi there, and welcome to DawnFire's Rec List! As I read a lot of both fan and original fiction, and have been doing so for quite a few years now, I have a long list of goodfic (and good books, but this isn't the place to rec them) saved in my bookmarks. They won't all make it up here at once, I'm afraid, since there really are quite a lot of them, but the list will grow. (And grow, and grow, and grow...) Hopefully, you'll be able to find something on this list that you want to read, and if not...well, there are other Rec Lists to check out!

Crossovers

 * The Magic of Torchwood by Bella The Strange - T rated - Torchwood x Harry Potter
 * Writing Status: WiP
 * Summary: The Torchwood team have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Set between Adam and Reset. Rated T because of Jack Harkness, swearing, mature themes, slash etc... it's Torchwood!
 * Warnings: Nothing worse than what's in Torchwood, really. Some swearing, Jack Harkness, Voldemort and Death Eaters, war, mentions of torture, brief mention of rape viewed through a 51st century lens...nothing particularly graphic, though. It doesn't go above the T rating.
 * Why do I like it? This amazing fic takes the Torchwood team, de-ages them, and sends them to Hogwarts. Everyone is IC, there are extremely few details that make the reader suspend disbelief, and, speaking of details, it's incredibly detailed in terms of plot and characterization. Add good writing, good SPaG, and good storytelling to the mix and you've got "The Magic of Torchwood". It's funny, dramatic, and gripping, and a great read. While this is still a WiP, she updates every Wednesday, generally without fail. The story is currently in the events of the seventh Harry Potter book. There's also a Facebook group, which is full of great people who discuss the story, recommend fics, post pictures and articles relating to different fandoms, ask questions, suggest stories, post links to or pieces of some of their own stories...in essence, a full community, and they're quite welcoming. Check it out!

Avengers

 * Doppelgangers by scintillulae - K+ rated (author's rating: PG) - 2012 movieverse
 * Writing Status: Complete
 * Summary: Steve makes the mistake of taking Thor to the zoo. Tony makes the mistake of buying nine penguins. Everyone else thinks they’ve made the mistake of joining the Avengers in the first place.
 * Warnings: Some language, hilarity
 * Why do I like it? Well, penguins. And the Avengers. And everyone's in character, too, which means it's amazing. It's hilarious, it's wonderful, and I don't think I could ever manage to read it without laughing. A wonderful humorfic, whether you're feeling down or not.

More to come!
