heroes_exchange rec list

[cruiscin_lan]

I meant to do this earlier, but I got lost in organizing tags and updating my fic masterlist yesterday, so here it is now. I just wanted to share some of the fics that I really enjoyed from the heroes_exchange, especially now that all the authors have been revealed. This is by no means a comprehensive list (I haven't gotten around to reading everything yet, so I might add more later), and it's got a few different pairings/ratings/prompts that you might not be interested in reading, but I suggest at least clicking. Who knows, you might like it after all!

Inevitable by etoile_dunord
Sylar and Bennet work together to stop Hiro. What drew me into this fic originally was the thoughts on waffles in the beginning, but I stayed for the compelling characterization of Hiro.

Let Nothing You Dismay by soda_and_capes
If you like your fluff tinged with angst, here's a Sylar/Elle Christmas fic you might enjoy.

Namesake by doctor_caduceus
Claude helps Bennet with Baby!Claire. Can't have too much Claude ever, and it's funny to see Bennet as the awkward new father. Slashy undertones, but nothing explicit - unless Noah calling Claude "fetching" is explicit...

Walking Blind by shimmeree
Dark babyfic? Yes please. Sylar/Claire, with a side of Peter Petrelli, and baby!Noah.

Midnight in the City by sara_wolf
Gabriel/Elle on Christmas Eve. I won't give too much away. This one you'll have to read for yourself.

These were the fics that were written for me this year, the first for heroes_exchange and the second for the sylarelle Secret Santa.

Grieve for a Moment by toestastegood
Knox/Claire in the future based on episode 3.04 (because you know they were doing it while Daphne was home with her family, you guys!). This fic is beautifully written and emotional and everything I wanted and more.

Sea Change by acinogan
Taking inspiration from Margot & the Nuclear So and So's song "A Sea Chanty of Sorts," acinogan rewrites Sylar and Elle's last scene on the beach. Introspective on the part of Sylar, and amazingly still true to canon... mostly.

As long as I'm posting a buttload of links now anyway, I thought I'd pimp out the stories I wrote for the exchange as well. Annapolis, 1989 details how Nathan Petrelli and Meredith Gordon first met, and Extraordinary Again has Hiro accidentally showing up at Claire's Christmas party. I'll be posting these to my own journal soon, but I don't want to be spammy, so I'll probably backdate them and then link them on the masterlist.
