Cabin Pressure/Fanfic Recs

Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying for here:

These are recommendations made by Tropers for Cabin Pressure, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the fic, based on who recommended it. No-name recommendations will be Zapped. Nobody would back up the rec. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watch-list, if need be.

Warn for sexually explicit or non-canon territory. Some people don't like it, and Shipping is serious business.

Cabin Pressure Prompt Meme
 * Recommended by Tictactoe
 * Comments: Originally based on Livejournal before transferring to Dreamwidth. While not explicitally a kink meme, plenty of smut alongside gen posts, and as much Martin whump as you could ever possibly want. Good quality fic, and for such a small fandom, surprisingly active.

Shipping Fics
Thistle and Weeds by chess_ka
 * Recommended by Tictactoe
 * Summary: Written for a prompt on the kinkmeme. Martin has a man he considers his boyfriend, but said boyfriend is a nasty piece of work who treats Martin appallingly. With a little help along the way from MJN, Martin begins to move on and find happiness.
 * Pairing: Martin/OMC
 * Comments: This troper isn't personally attracted to OC fics, especially if it involves shipping with a canon character, but this fic is really good. The premise of Martin being trapped in an abusive relationship isn't over sentimentalised, and the after-effects on later relationships aren't simply brushed under the carpet - it's sensitively and maturely dealt with. And there's a happy ending for Martin! (Always a bonus). There is also a short follow-up oneshot called What You Find There which I'd also recommend.

Alternate Universe Fics
Here Be Dragons by qikiqtarjuaq
 * Recommended by tamberline
 * Summary: Wherein Martin is an awkward dragon, Douglas is still a formidable sky god, and Carolyn and Arthur run a family business trading treasures with mythical creatures.
 * Comments: There aren't many AU's in Cabin Pressure, and few as fleshed out as this one. Martin and Douglas are dragons (Douglas of the more... fire and brimstone variety, Martin the kind of dragon who instead of gold, hoardes within his tiny cave piles of books and parchment). They still fight over the cheese tray (well, cart) and Carolyn as the human in charge still manages to be the most domineering of them all.
