Fic author's self rec meme

superbadgirlYoinked from kristen999, and like her I won't be tagging anyone. Truthfully, I might be doing this because I got a rare kudos on one of the stories I'm going to rec - set in a small, old fandom. I actually adore everything I wrote in that and a tiny part of me hates that so few will ever see it. #ego
Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers (◠‿◠✿)
Fandom: Emergency!
Title and link: Theory of Relativity
Genre: Slash, Johnny/Roy
Summary: Roy DeSoto had known he was different from the time he'd hit puberty. Until Johnny Gage walked into his life, he'd been able to conform to societal norms and deny a part of himself.
Recced because: It's one of those that I will shamelessly read once in a while myself and wonder how I wrote it. It's heartbreaking and bittersweet, as any tale of two bi or gay men in the firefighting profession in the 1970s would likely be. It also helped spawn a whole series exploring what I imagine to be a very delicate and dangerous situation.
Fandom: H50
Title and link: Pitching Woo
Genre: Slash, Danny/Steve
Summary: In which Danny pitches (and then accidentally catches) woo.
Recced because: I kind of feel like this fic was a drop mic moment and had I never written another story in this fandom it would have been a-okay.
Fandom: Supernatural
Title and link: Sunflowers
Genre: Gen, horror
Summary: Something evil is cutting a path across the United States, and stopping it might cost the boys their lives. But they're hunters. They do what they have to do, no matter what.
Recced because: Another seldom-read story. I tend to like the ones no one else much does, which I suppose should teach me something. This story is dark and the format is a bit different to my usual, esp in this fandom.
Fandom:Emergency!
Title and link: Perhaps They Are Not Stars
Genre: Slash, Johnny/Roy
Summary: How Johnny and Roy came to be together, as witnessed from the outside.
Recced because: I love this little story. It's smack dab in the middle of an entire series written around a year's holidays, but kind of encapsulates the entire feel in 7000 short words.
Fandom: Stargate SG-1
Title and link: Salvage Operation
Genre: Gen
Summary: Jack and Daniel learn about the changes and constants in their friendship, with the help of some pretty nasty people and circumstances.
Recced because: To be honest, most of what I wrote for SG-1 makes me cringe. I was a "young" writer then, fumbling around trying to find my voice and all the while abusing adverbs. But this one has always been a favorite, and therapeutic at a time when the show was experiencing a change behind the scenes which, frankly, showed. And it was either rec this one or The Soul Senses... yes. See what I did there? ;)
