Currently Reading: Kidfic
Jan. 31st, 2012 09:33 am1. A Farm in Iowa series by Sheafrotherdon (Fandom: SGA, Rodney/John, AU) - A quiet love story (for this pairing, especially), beautifully written, and I'm excited to discover has a lot of snippets I have yet to read. The kid in this kidfic is almost incidental, but the whole thing just makes me want to fall in love and build a family in a farm somewhere. (Which is so not me.)
2. Father to the Man by Delphi (Fandom: Harry Potter, Snape/Filch, AU) - The best part of this story is Argus Filch. I love it when he is re-envisioned. And I love how it all works out. It begs for a sequel, or at least an epilogue.
3. Getting Better by nox_candida (Fandom: BBC Sherlock, AU) - I was initially reluctant to read this because it is in the POV of an OC, Tristram, which is Sherlock's son. But it is brilliant, everyone aside from the OCs are totally in character, and you really feel for this kid. Sherlock won't win any Father of the Year awards anytime soon. It's also plotty, and hints at an entire alternate universe that the author needs to explore. Please!
My favorite fandom to read kidfic in is Supernatural, because I have this fascination with how Dean pretty much raised Sam. And we can see from canon how amazing he is with children. Favorites: Vallo Rex by Weesta and Red Beans and Rice by Janissa11.
I also like Harry Potter kidfics, because I like the abused!Harry tropes. (Mostly when he gets rescued.) Favorites: Stealing Harry by Sam Storyteller, Mine by Gillian, and The Best Revenge by Arsinoe de Blassenville.
One of the earliest I've read is Small Fry and Son of Small Fry by Jameswalkswithwind and Mad Poetess (BtVS and AtS) and my favorite part is the latter, where kid!Wesley drags Gunn to a science museum and introduces him to people as his boyfriend.
