the horror, the horror...

reccing this is so wrong, I don't want to be right...

I know I'm going to catch holy hell for this, but this is some spectacular fic even if the pairing is beyond rare and possibly offensive to some.

Law & Order, SVU, Olivia/Maureen (or Molita as the originators jokingly refer to it). As in, Eliot's college-age daughter, Maureen. That Maureen. If that squicks, please don't read.
Although, Maureen is above the age of consent (attending Columbia) and the fics are from her
POV, so this isn't some creepy pedophiliac Olivia.

The Molita history according to projectjulie: It started out as a private joke and ended up as some incredibly intense fic. Remember being a teenager and longing for an older woman? then you'll relate to these fics. Now, imagine that woman was the hotness and totally alcoholic/bipolar complexity of Olivia.

It started with some comments/jokes in an LJ thread, which lead to this brilliant piece of fic: Separation by aeonian, PG.

Which lead to another short, History again by aeonian, again PG and the joke was pretty much over because, well, there's nothing funny about beautifully written, dark and intense fic. This quote, in particular, really got me: Maureen knows she has an unfair advantage. She knows all the secrets her father knows, and then some: Olivia's mother was an alcoholic, her father was a rapist, and she will do anything to get in bed with a blue-eyed blonde again. GAH!

Then theholyinnocent gets involved with the beautiful and tragic I can't believe I wrote the whole thing... R-ish and I'm now totally sold on this insanely wrong pairing.

It's amazing what a few unbelievably good writers can do for a pairing I would have 1) never thought of 2) never ever believed could work 3)never believed I would ever even read
and now I'm imagining Molita icons. ugh.

Tomorrow fluffy, non-SVU fic. promise.

Edited to add the gah! quote from History.

also edited to add mad props to tremblingmoon for leading me down this twisted path!

Those were... properly depressing. For all that SVU is all about the grim, quite a few of the stories are somehow really not.

I remember a story (undoubtedly Alex/Olivia) where Maureen had a very obvious crush on Olivia, and there are a few episodes where it seems like clear subtext on screen. But then, I see gay people.

I see gay people
LMAO! exactly. I see gay people and slashpotential everywhere.

Those were... properly depressing.
Yeah. I felt the need to balance out some of the syrup (Spark) in the last SVU post with some angst. sometimes I'm in the mood for cheese, sometimes depressing angst is on order. I guess I should clarify a little more... that I have multiple fanfic personalities.

Our work here is done. :) Up next: Cragen/Agent Hammond slash. (Kidding, kidding.)

Thanks so much for the pimpage! I'm very flattered.

Up next: Cragen/Agent Hammond slash.
Ewwwwwww! Cragen/Branch, on the other hand is, like, totally teh hot. My new OTP. And I'm giving myself a migraine with the Cragen/Branch imagery.

Thank you for some incredible fic!! And now I get the pleasure of reading the rest of your fic. That's the great thing about being a fanfic reccer/pimp...my work is never done. :)

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the Molita! When I come up with more recs for the rec'er I'll definitely send them your way. ;)

[leavethesky.livejournal.com]

yes! thanks for the links!! I just edited to add props for your linkage btw. I've had the week/month from hell so I'm sort of beyond spacey right now. again with the thanks!

[tremblingmoon.livejournal.com]

My pleasure. And no worries about whether you mentioned me or not, I'm just pleased with myself for helping lead you down the path of corruption. ;)

Ever read any CSI fics?

Ever read any CSI fics?

Uh...no, not really. Although I've recced one (Monique Bartok's, Crash & Yearn), but I only read it because I like the author.

I used to know one of the 'stars' of CSI and I have a very hard time seeing her face in fics. It's really disconcerting. Even squick-worthy. So, it's not really that I hate the CSI fics and more of a totally weird and personal quirk that keeps me from the fic. I know I'm probably missing out, but... *shrug* [/disclosure]

Fair enough, fair enough. Although now I'm a little jealous. ;)

[leavethesky.livejournal.com]

if it's any consolation, the rumors are true -- she's totally dykeadelic.

of course, I'd rather be able to read the fic than know that fact, but I'm a total fic ho. or junkie. or something. :)

also, nothing to be jealous about. really.

[tremblingmoon.livejournal.com]

Thank God for confirmed rumors. ;) I understand your dilemma; I'd be sad, too, if a whole fic universe was closed off to me.

But nope, sorry, I'm still jealous. Really.
