Veronica Mars Fic Recs

The new fic from this fandom have waned, but that doesn't mean we can't still provide a good rec when we see one.

A Strange New Story Every Time by gyzym (Logan/Veronica; NC-17) (3x20)

There's no real reason for the extended absence of fics recced here, but hopefully these two make up for it--each on a very different spectrum of fic.

A Hard Habit to Break by mskatej (Logan/Veronica; NC-17) (3x20)

Philisophy Applied by dacian_goddess (Logan, Veronica; R) (1x06)

If you haven't already read these, and you enjoy them, please remember to leave feedback.

To those of you still following, many thanks.

For a Sunday, I present some angst. It might meet your need in the between holiday week, or just remind you that things can be worse.

Vertigo by vanessagalore (Logan/Veronica; NC-17) (3x20)

If you haven't read it already, please remember to time to comment to the author if you enjoyed the fic.

Apologies for the lateness of this week's post. We editors are all busy.

I know that many of us here are still handling the lost of the show in different ways, and my personal way is to think of all the crap that didn't happen, but could have given Neptune's proclivities to bring out the worst in people. All of that is to say that this week's fics are all on the side of angst, with some death thrown in for good measure.

Please remember to leave feedback for this stories, as authors love to know that what they write affects people.

Have you ever read a fic and come across a line that just makes you go, "Yes!" I think I did that at least five times when I first read this fic.

they'll name a condition after you by girlintheattic (Logan/Veronica; R) (2x13)

Canon may be (almost) closed, but we'll always have fanfic.

What VM fic have you been enjoying recently? What are some of your personal favorites? What have you written lately? Come one, come all, and remember the characters we love.

I'll go first! A recent story I enjoyed was The Napa House by lodessa. (Ah, I miss the Kanes.) Here's the top-10-favorites post I wrote last fall, and this spring I wrote fic about Weevil from the perspective of five women in his community.

The show's not over until the last fan turns out the lights. Come on, link me! :)

Occasionally, when the going gets tough, the tough ... go out of town, for the summer, a roadtrip, a semester abroad, a honeymoon, or, you know, just because. It makes sense to me, especially when you consider what an evil, warped, claustrophobic environment Neptune can be. Personally, I'm addicted to following Veronica on her travels to Canada, Scotland, Italy, England, and other, far away places as she takes pictures, explores castles and refugee camps, or studies. Each of the following features a trip out of the country for Veronica, her friends and lovers. So, please fasten your safety belt, place your tray tables and seat backs in the upright and locked position, rip open that tiny bag of peanuts, crank up the iPod, and enjoy.

Don't forget to leave a shoutout to the author, if you find something you enjoy!

Every now and again, I find myself wanting to read fics that create some strained relationships between the characters. One such type involves threesomes and how the complicated sexual relationship can work within the confines of the characters and the show.

With that in mind, here are some fics that feature a threesome to complicate the love lives of Neptune.

Stretched Taut by wily_one24 (Logan/Veronica/Weevil; NC-17) (1x01)

True Faith by (Duncan/Lilly/Logan; R) (2x22)

Also, please remember to leave feedback if you enjoy something recommended here; it makes any author happy to know that their story still resonates.

Two of my very favorite (and rarely seen) characters on VM consist of the strapping men that make up the Clemmons family. Butters Vincent is quirky, yet lovable (Space elevator, anyone?), and his father, the illustrious vice principal at Neptune High, is even a match for Miss Mars. While left behind when Veronica and Co. went to college, this dynamic duo can never be forgotten. Here are a few of my favorite fics featuring the Clemmons', in minor and major capacities.

Butters:

Don’t Ask Me if I Care by gravity_chelle (Mac, Butters; PG-13) (2x20) *

No Man's Land by vkitty (Dick/Mac, Wallace, Logan, Butters; R) (3x01)

Clemmons:

Don't You Forget About Me by sadiekate (Duncan, Lilly, Logan, Veronica, Wallace, Weevil, Clemmons; R) (1x22)

Unplanned Events (Have a Way of Happening Anyhow) by soundingsea (Clemmons; PG-13) (1x22)

This last piece is something a little different. It was written for neptune_online and, to my knowledge, hasn't been posted anywhere else as "fic." I'm linking to the original post in the comm's planning blog, though, in case anyone wants to leave comments.

A Day in the Life of Van Clemmons by mutinousmuse (Clemmons; PG) (2x21)
