Lea's Kradam Fic Reclist: Part One





So I really enjoy reccing fics, and since Kradam is officially my OTP, I decided to make a Kradam fic reclist.

My taste tends toward happier fics (and things with hot sex), but I'm kind of picky, so everything you'll find here is really quality, I promise.

Each section is arranged generally in order of which I personally like most.

Unfortunately, the reclist got too long for one entry. This is now Part One. Don't miss:


Key:
&hearts: my absolute favorites
Italics: a new addition to the list! (Can also be found using the {NEW} tag.)

NEW! Introducing the new tagging system: control-f any of these key words to easily search for specific types of fics.
{NEW}- New to the reclist.
{est. rel.}- Established relationship.
{dys./ap.}- Apocalyptic or dystopian future fics.
{intoxication}- Drunkenness, weed, drug addictions, love drugs, etc.
{hospitals}- Injuries, they work in a hospital, etc.
{weddings}- Wedding planner fics, accidental marriages, arranged marriages, etc.
{rimming}- I'm sure there are more fics with rimming, but this is all I could remember.
Other: {underwear} {crime au} {thanksgiving} {body swap} {high school au} {robot!Kris} {angst} {angels/wings} {bottom!Adam} {morning after} {Idols tour} {Idol} {genderswap} {domestic} {unicorns} {sickness} {atmosphere} {rain} And more to be added soon!
(Note: I didn't tag podfic.) (Also, keywords that only apply to sequels are in parenthesis.)

You can also check out My Delicious account. It contains about half of this list, as well as all the new stuff I've read but haven't had a chance to add here yet, and the tagging system is much better (a.k.a. out of control detailed).

Fandom Classics
Obviously, this is just my opinion. You might consider different fics to be fandom classics; that's fine.


♥♥Take This Sinking Boat by [info]ink_like_blood- This is actually the first Kradam fic I ever read. Obviously, afterwards, I was hooked. This is also literally the best thing ever in the entire world. Hot, pwp sequel: Then We'll Throw It On the Fire.

♥♥More Myself With You by [info]jerakeen- The ultimate future fic. Also known as the 42k fic. Kris and Adam are best friends and slowly become more. This is kind of a must read requirement sort of fic. Because it's amazing. It has like a billion sequels, collected as Ever After. Quite a few of the sequels are completely, incredibly amazing, even as stand alone fics. Basically, this is the best, most realistic, most fully developed future fic universe in all of Kradam fic.

House of the Living by [info]astolat- In the middle of the Idol tour, a zombie outbreak occurs! The Idols have to deal with it. I have a zombie fetish, so, um, hell yes! Also check out this theatrical trailer by [info]cheapxdate. {sickness} {dys./ap.} {angst} {Idols tour}

If It Kills Me by [info]buffyx- The first time I read this, it was 5:30 am and I was at a friend's house. Her internet stopped working right as I was trying to click from part 3 to 4. So I snuck out of her house, got in my car with my laptop, and drove around her neighborhood until I found some free wifi. It was that important that I read this. (Just thought I'd share the depths of my insanity with everyone here.) Now with a sequel! Here We Are

The Rescue Blues by [info]phaballa- The Kris has amnesia fic.

Apples Are Not the Only Fruit by [info]bexless- The Adam's car breaks down in Kris's small town and Kris helps him fix it and Adam is a movie star AU.

♥♥Melt Into Time by [info]butterfly- I don't even know how to describe how amazing this fic is. Kris finds out Adam is engaged and goes back in time to change things. It's so intense and so emotional and I don't know if I have ever been so excited about a fic while reading it. {angst} {bottom!Adam}

Just One Sheep by [info]abusing_sarcasm- The end possibly the best thing ever in the entire world. (And by end, I mean sex scene.) {Idols tour}

Southside of Heaven by [info]asouthernthing- Adam is on drugs AU. Ridiculously awesome beyond belief. Warnings for drug use, but it's overall hopeful, don't worry. {intoxication}

Future Legend by [info]winterlive- Post-apocalyptic fic! I love post-apocalyptic everything, and this was completely genius and creative and just amazing. Adam in this story, just oh my god. Now with a short sequel thing! {dys./ap.}

Wizard Not Included by [info]phaballa- Very Adam-centric. Adam/Brad and Adam's feelings about the his life, as well as some Adam/Kris friendship, I guess? But it's freaking awesome. {Idol}

Percentages by [info]cathalin- This fic is awesome, but what are even more awesome are it's two sequels.

All These Things That I've Done by [info]winterlive- This fic is weird. It's an AU, a violent, weird, genius AU. And you should read it because despite it being completely not what I expected when I started reading it, I still loved it. {angst} {crime au}

Summer Boys by [info]ruby_fruit- Superpowers-summercamp!AU. Um. Read it anyway! Now with an amazingly hot, must read sequel!!! Hearing Only One Root Note ({bottom!Adam} {rimming} {est. rel.}

Building Jerusalem (Directions Not Included) by [info]amproof- So, I haven't actually read this one, but only because it is 125,419 words long O_O, but I think it should be on here regardless, because [info]amproof is amazing, and this is one fic that almost everyone who has read it agrees on: it's a true fandom classic. {NEW}

(This Is) Not a Statement by [info]seperis- This is another one I haven't actually read yet, and this time that is basically BLASPHEMY, because [info]seperis is my favorite ever ever ever, but the word count is over 50,000, and I've kind of been saving it for a time when I could really really enjoy it, and somehow now I've built it up into kind of a thing, and... no one really cares, I'm sure. But anyway, I have heard from every person who has read this fic that it is the best thing to ever exist, and [info]seperis is my god, so, read it. (Link is to the last part; previous parts are linked on that page.) {NEW}




Things that could have taken place in this world- Future fics


♥♥On the Verge of Something Wonderful by [info]jerakeen- I may say 'this is the hottest fic ever' about some other fics, but if I do, I am lying. This fic, it receives the title of The Hottest Fic Lea Has Ever Read. There is one particular moment that wins it that title definitively, but I can't tell you what it is or it will ruin it. READ IT.

take what we want and give the rest away by [info]lux__aeterna- OH MY GOD. I just read this, and it blew my mind. The details make this fic amazing; it feels so real! And there is this one line that is just the best thing ever. And tons of lines that are close to being the best thing ever.

♥♥♥Only Take What You Can Carry by [info]seperis- Um, where do I even begin. This is officially one of my favorite fics ever ever ever. YOU MUST READ IT. MUST. It's told out of order and it's Kris and Adam on a road trip to South by Southwest but why I cannot tell you or it would ruin it. (If you want to know what I think of it, I guess go check out the longest comment in the world after you finish reading the fic, but why anyone would care what I think I have no idea.) (Also, the title comes from a Snow Patrol song!!!! (Snow Patrol is my favorite band.))

All the More For That by [info]jerakeen- 10 years after Idol, Kris and Adam haven't talked in a while. When they have to see each other again at Allison's wedding, they have to figure out if the feelings are still there. For some reason, this is officially my favorite Jerakeen fic. And there isn't even lots of sex! It's just INCREDIBLE anyway. {angst} {weddings}

Heart Line by [info]cathalin- This fic just sucks you in and makes you feel all the tension and intensity as if you were actually living it. It's incredible. {atmosphere}

Shuffling the Cards [Watching the World Go Round] by [info]holycitygirl- Kris goes back to Arkansas to try to move on from Adam. Unsurprisingly, that doesn't quite work out as planned.

There's Always a Reason to Take the Scenic Route by [info]jeyhawk- This fic made me smile so hard! It was so completely awesomely adorable! :D

want to be with you, be with you [night and day] by [info]holycitygirl- So this is the fic that started my [info]holycitygirl obsession. Kris didn't call Adam to wish him a happy new year and all Adam wants is for him to not have to be the one to reach out and start something. This is gorgeous and amazing, and Come On by Tegan and Sara just happened to come up on shuffle while I was reading and I was like 'holy shit this song is perfect for this fic!' and now Come On is one of my favorite songs ever and I wouldn't have ever paid attention to it without this fic. (You can listen to it here or download it here (longer version) and here (original version), if you're interested.)

Once by [info]cathalin- This made me want to cry, but in a good way. And there's one line that made my heart feel all funny. {angst} {Idols tour}

We'd Be Good, We'd Be Great by [info]adelate- Kris and Adam get mistaken for a couple sometimes, but that doesn't actually mean anything of course. Except, duh, it does. {Idols tour}

But in the Bright Lights by [info]preromantics- Adam is wearing lacy underwear. Kris tries to ignore it but can't. {underwear} {Idol}

The Killing Moon by [info]lux__aeterna- This has a warning at the top that says 'if you just read "take what we want...", don't read this. it might kill your buzz.' That = TRUTH. I love the summary/quote thing, this is the worst thing you've ever done. This fic is fucked up, but so well done. {angst} {Idol}

Precious Heart by [info]cydsa- Adam rejected Kris because he thought it was the right thing to do, but now he's sad and Kris is too and... anyway, basically they have to get past that, and it's awesome. I love get together fics.

Day Grows Slowly by [info]abriata- Kris and Adam have wings. I think this was intended to be a pwp, but they have wings and they can fly and even though there is no flying in the story, I just, that is the best image I have ever had in my mind, Kris and Adam, flying with their wings.

Kradam football AU by [info]captanddeastar- This is unfinished. It's notes on a fic and a few excerpts. You should read it anyway. It doesn't matter that it's incomplete, it's genius and there's one really brilliant passage in one of the snippets that makes it completely worth it.

Falling All Over You by [info]jeyhawk- (Link is to the last part, with links to the other parts there.) A series about public sex. Kris and Adam meet by having sex in public and then continue doing so. There is an over arching plot, but the hotness almost overwhelms it. (This is still a WIP, just warning you.)

You should save each fic in a word document first before reading so you can still go on even with disruptions in internet connection. I've got an entire folder in my laptop that I read to take a break from work and study.

[info]delorispea

October 13 2009, 23:27:36 UTC 2 years ago

I NEED THIS FOLDER I BELIEVE.

[info]norosegarden

October 13 2009, 22:55:55 UTC 2 years ago

SO many of my favorites here! And jerakeen knows I love her way too much.

I came to the fandom really late so thanks for pointing out some I hadn't found yet!

[info]weddingbeaches

October 13 2009, 23:25:21 UTC 2 years ago

Awesome! I'm so glad you were able to find something you liked!

Thanks so much for this! I'm a huge freaking fan of Jerakens work, and have been looking forward to good stories to read.

I have to admit I kind of liked Kradam_ai before the summer when there werent so many writers. It was easier to find the epic! ones.

[info]weddingbeaches

October 15 2009, 06:48:59 UTC 2 years ago

You're so welcome! I hope you find lots of stories you like.

And I think I know how you feel. I haven't even been involved in the fandom that long, but it feels like it has grown a lot.

[info]nor_ryn

October 14 2009, 13:09:35 UTC 2 years ago

this is just a suggestion; to be included or not is totally up to you :)
fics by [info]radiogaga33 are good too

[info]weddingbeaches

October 14 2009, 21:50:24 UTC 2 years ago

You know, I've heard that, but for some reason, I've never read anything by her. I'll try to actually get around to checking them out sometime soon, lol.

[info]blackemerald12

October 15 2009, 05:30:42 UTC 2 years ago

Wow, can I just say what a treat and amazing surprise this rec list is? I truly thought that I had read most of the epic/higher quality fic in fandom. This has had me up all night and let me rediscover authors that I had somehow lost track of.
Thank you so much!

[info]weddingbeaches

October 15 2009, 05:45:57 UTC 2 years ago

*flails* Eeeee!!! This comment makes me so happy! What you've said is exactly what I hoped it would be able to do! I love reccing things, and I always hope I'll get a response like this, so yay!!!! Thank you for such an awesome comment! :) :)

October 15 2009, 07:02:19 UTC 2 years ago

Thank you !!!! for making this list. It's awesome!

I love the picture of you driving around hunting free wifi. I live in an apartment - one night my cable stopped working (something to do with the box), and I didn't know because my laptop just automatically switched to wifi of other people in the building. Heh.

[info]weddingbeaches

October 15 2009, 22:19:47 UTC 2 years ago

You're welcome! :)

Lol, oh the wifi hunting. I was so afraid someone was going to wake up and notice that I was gone and then ask me what I had been doing when I got back, but luckily it was a very successful mission. That's awesome that you can steal internet if yours ever goes out! Very useful.

[info]nzfan

October 23 2009, 02:30:03 UTC 2 years ago

Thank you so much for this list. I had already read a lot of them, but there were some other really good fics in here that I had missed, so thanks <3333

Good recs but you need BYGONE and A LITTLE DOWN THAT ROAD by gypsy_scribbles on there. They're amazing, and fandom classics.

[info]weddingbeaches

January 28 2010, 18:34:45 UTC 2 years ago

I haven't read Bygone yet! I've been meaning to, I swear! It's saved to my memories as 'Bygone: NEED TO READ'! And A Little Down that Road is the... New Mexico? some place like that? fic, right? Cause I could have sworn that one was one there..... *fixes*

[info]dnewton99

January 28 2010, 18:43:12 UTC 2 years ago

Thank you, thank you, thank you

I am so thrilled you put this together. So hard to track back to all the good ones without someone who does this.

Search capability in LJ is not good for finding all these.

Thanks for all the time it took to do this.

Bookmarked forever

(i completely agree with every single one of your fandom classics, and i can't think of one that you missed. this is probably a first.)

TL;TOO INCOHERENT, THIS IS AMAZING AND I MIGHT TURN FIFTY BEFORE I GET THROUGH ALL OF THESE AND I DON'T MIND

[info]weddingbeaches

January 28 2010, 19:24:43 UTC 2 years ago

I LOVE YOU.

You comment just made my life, I think. Or at least my day. You know.

I've never actually discussed the concept of fandom classics with anyone before, so it's really cool that you think I got it right!

And I know right? Looking at this list always makes me want to reread and just never stop reading! It's crazy.
