So, I've wanted to do something like this for a long long time.
This is a post for all of you, everyone out there who may feel sad and alone or fearful. Take a look at this, smile, be encouraged. You're on my mind and though we may not know each other you mean something to me.
So the other day I was making a list of some 'classic' general fics for someone newer to the community and I know there's a few other 'newbie' guides out there, but hopefully this will only further help everyone :)
Under The Cut : - Some 'classic' recs for general, wincest, and j2. - Some must see videos for the fandom. - Where to find... (icons, headers, other graphics.) - Helpful links/communities.
I ask you to note that while this is to help people newer to the fandom become familiar with some of the areas there are that it can also help older fans expand their horizon and find some new favorites, perhaps.
Title: Been A Long Day Prompt: High and Right - Losing one's temper or rationality; from the common error of a poorshooter to jerk the trigger and impact the upper right side of a target. Rating: PG-13 Warnings: Potentially triggering subjects dealing with PTSD. Disclaimer: I do not own these characters. The story is fictional and any resemblance is purely coincidental. Summary: The war has only just begun for Nate. A/N: Written for combat_jack. This story was inspired by Rosi Golan's Been a Long Day, a beautiful song that I had on repeat throughout this entire process. You can listen to it here. I would also like to note that absolutely no disrespect was meant by the theme of this sensitive topic. I tried very hard to deal with it in a realistic manner that would maintain due respect for the subject at hand, and I hope it came across that way. A big thank you to lunasky and noted for being willing to read this over for me, I appreciate it! Also a big thank you to team day for your support and awesomeness!
Title : Fields Inside My Mind Rating : PG-13 (for theme and violence) Pairing : Arthur/Merlin Summary : Magic cannot heal all things. Prompt : Arthur/Merlin. Merlin gamely goes along with the "mental affliction" jokes normally, but when he returns from war, he hides the fact that he's suffering from PTSD and the jokes are no longer funny. (http://community.livejournal.com/k…) Warnings/Author Note : This fic deals with some post-war psychological situations. I feel it's incredibly important to respect the situation and all those who face it today. While doing all that I had to keep in mind the time period I was writing in so I hope I was able to do that in a way that was both realistic and respectful. I thoroughly enjoyed working with this piece and am considering writing a bit more :) The quote below served as an inspiration for this.

Title: Clear Author: egotists Gift recipient: keerawa Characters/Pairing : Sam&(/)Dean (However you choose), Bobby Rating: PG-13 for language Warnings: Angst Summary: Dean's tired of the painful rhythm. Note: Dear Keerawa, I'm incredibly sorry I'm late with this. I feel absolutely awful that it's not more but I wanted to give you at least something so I hope you like it and if you'd like I can write you something else or more or even the fic in Sam's POV. Whatever you want :)
Also thank you to noted for looking this over for me <3
