reccing a rec post

snacky's running a great all-fandoms-included fic recs poll in her journal:

Occasionally, I see discussions about how this is the best damn fic ever, and you'd give it to people who weren't even in fandom to read!

...

Tell me about the greatest fic, the one you'd give to people who aren't in fandom (although, I'd think they'd need to have at least a familiarity with the source material, but that's up to you) and say, "OH MY GOD, YOU HAVE TO READ THIS, IT'S SO GOOD!" It doesn't have to be anything recent - it can be the first or last fic you read, however many years or months or days ago. If you can't narrow it down, pick two. And please, feel free to discuss the fic in the comments.

It's completely awesome for finding really amazing stuff you missed out on the first time, or rediscovering old favorites. I was pleased as punch to find a bunch of X-Files epics that I'd never read, and a Labyrinth fic that was really quite decent. (However-- seriously, y'all, you can stop reccing Freedom's Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose anytime now, cause it's already in there about ten times. Yes, it is astounding and amazing and yes, it made me cry, too. But c'mon, give us your next fic down the list!)
