Snowflake Challenge #10 - 5 Things

Here is a list of my Top Five Re-Reads:

1. BDSM Universe by Xanthe. The OG BDSM AU, so if you haven't read it you really should! My favorite story from the whole series is "Hiding in Plain Sight" an SGA/NCIS crossover, which has several great pairings, but is primarily Gibbs/Tony. This Tony is heartbreaking in a beautiful way.

2. Ties that Bind Series by Kiera Marcos. This is Keira playing with her take on a BDSM AU and it is the BEST. THING. EVER. SGA John/Rodney, and so many other excellent pairings, including some iconic OCs. Kiera is incredible at consistent characterization and world building.

3. The Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop. My all time favorite series of books. I come back to this series over and over. I assume it would be considered Dark Fantasy, given some of the themes, but it always leaves me feeling hopeful and bittersweet. I've read many of the additional books in the Realms of the Blood, but haven't yet read the new trilogy starting with "The Queen's Bargain." 

4. "Emergence" by Jilly James. NCIS Gibbs/Tony story with crossovers to SG-1 and the Magnificent Seven in later chapters. They're DRAGONS!!! I don't think I need to say more, right?

5. The Talents Universe by Anne McCaffrey. I've read a lot of the Pern books too, but her sci-fi series about the Talents is one that brings me back to reread them again and again. Its also one of those eerie situations where you watch things from so-called fiction written decades ago coming true IRL right now, and its unnerving. 

Advanced Notice: Final Friday Fics on January 26, 2024

My next open prompt call is set for Friday, January 26th, 2024 with a theme of "Wishes." I'm using the Final Friday Fics event as a way to reach out to readers to gain inspiration at the end of the month to write stories they would like to read.

 

For the theme of "Wishes" I'm hoping to get prompts for all kinds of desires - heartfelt wishes, secret desires, yearnings, cravings, and what characters might long for. Feel free to make suggestions that tie into my ongoing series or for something completely new. 

 

Please hold actual prompts until the "Final Friday Fics" post next week. If you're intrigued please come by my blog then and comment with your ideas, comment on other people's suggestions, encourage others to come check me out, or whatever makes you happy! I hope to see you next Friday!
