Blue jeans and blue sky [Mortal Instruments, Malec, Nc-17]

Blue jeans and blue sky by Evil_Keshi

Magnus was seven years old when he arrived in Colorado to start his new life - with new parents, a new language, a new everything. Making friends would have helped him, except that his first encounter with the neighbours' kids didn't go too well, and Magnus vowed to hate the Lightwoods forever.

Forever. No matter what.

First of all. Stories about horses (especially fics) always let me down. They are always this fictional shit where people just take the horse from the barn and gallops to the sunset. That's it. There is zero hard work, zero warmups for the horse and zero common sense when dealing with horses.

So I kind of did not know that this fic was going to revolve around horses. If I had known that, I probably wouldn't have opened the fic. But now I am really happy that I opened this fic. Everything was awesome in here. How they actually did some work with the horses and nothing was just handed to them.

Okay. I have to admit. This contains teenage angst and drama and what else. But it fits them when they are just teenagers. You can't really expect anything else from them but that. Also, the competitions bring more drama and action to their lives. Otherwise their life is pretty ordinary and kind of boring. They go to school, they ride and they do the normal teenage crap. There is no supernatural shit nor there are some weird murders that only teenagers can solve. So the whole fic is just something that I would like to read about teenagers more.

And I don't really have anything bad to say about this. I liked Magnus backstory, I liked how Jace was jealous of him and how their chemistry was logical but dramatic. The only part of this fic that I did not understand was Alec. But we can totally skip that part because in the books (and in the show) Alec is always falling in love pretty quickly and makes hasty stuff because of it. So it just fit the character too well to be a bad thing.

So yea. Totally worth it. And maybe if you want to write a story about horses, you should do your research better and take a look at a story that has a good example of how a horse story should go. So all the kudos about that. Seriously. All the kudos for the horse part. Everything. Yea.

What's A Secret Identity? [TeenWolf, Sterek]

What's A Secret Identity? by Chrystie, imabignerd, kate882

Stiles sipped at a mug of coffee, absently watching the news play in the break room. Because of course a news station couldn't play anything other than its own content, even in the one part of the office that was supposed to be a safe space from work. His interview with Superman was making a rerun and Stiles glanced at Derek before commenting absently, “I’d totally let Superman fuck me.”

Derek, who had been in the middle of a swig of coffee, choked violently, “That’s not something I needed to know at nine in the morning, Stiles.”

Stiles raised an eyebrow. “What time would you prefer I tell you about all of the things I would let Superman do to my body?”

I'm not a DC fan. I am all over Marvel. But I don't mind some of the movies so much (Batman movies are rather good, everything else, not so much) and Smallville was pretty awesome. So yea. This is kind of not my usual stuff.

But the thing is. This was pretty good. Stiles being observant and seeing shit that no one else seems to see. Seriously. Why can't anyone put Clark Kent and Superman together? It can't really be that hard people.

Also. Derek kind of fits to the Superman role and Stiles fits to be the nosy journalist who can't shut up. Everything just fits and makes sense. Okay. Maybe that is kind of weird but whatever. I liked this and that's all the matter. So please. Go have fun and read this! Thanks!

Daybreak [TeenWolf, Sterek, Nc-17]

"There . . ." Stiles swallowed and looked down at the bottle in his grasp as he slowly swirled the amber liquid inside. "There's really nothing left. For me. Everyone is . . . gone, and it feels like I haven't thought of tomorrow in years." His words rang in the air like a gunshot, he took another heavy drink. "I would trade every last breath I take to just have another shot—not even a guarantee, just a chance to make things right and bring back even one of them."
-----

The pack was gone. He had nothing left. He had no one. With nothing to lose, Stiles puts everything on the line to go back in time to try to prevent the future from becoming his past. Broken, guarded, and haunted by his past, only one overgrown-pup of a wolf seems able to get past his defenses. Changing the future? Easy. Finding a place for himself in the Hale Pack? Impossible.

This. This is something I am really glad I read. The whole story is just how things could have gone so, so wrong. Like how everyone could have just died. This also shows how lucky they are in the end. Like they find the details and are able to connect the dots. And there is nothing I don't like this one.

Even Stiles' PTSD is well written and you actually get the feeling that he has a PTSD. The other thing is the whole innocent Derek thing. How he is kind of such a baby and how the world has not done anything bad to him yet. Then the whole part where you put those two things together and somehow it feels like their roles are reversed. Stiles is the silent brooding one and Derek is the happy chatty type who can't shut up. And it doesn't even feel wrong or weird. It is just awesome.

And then the ending. Just trying everything together the way I just wanted to read more. Totally pageturner (wait, can you say something like that about fics? Don't' know, don't care).

So yea. If you have the time, the inspiration and are ready to cry. Seriously. Read this. That's it. Read this. And make the author feel loved with comments kudos and everything else. They deserve it.
