Thirty Days of Recs, Day 1: Teenagers!
Jul. 29th, 2010 12:20 pmWelcome to Thirty Days of Recs! It does exactly what it says on the tin. As always, my Delicious is where all this stuff lives, because I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO REC 1000 STORIES, Y'ALL.
I realize it’s not the most popular of sentiments, but I really like a good teen AU. There’s something about that time in your life, how everything is so important and all your emotions are so close to the surface, that makes for really visceral reading. Here are some stories that really get down into that experience and convey it very clearly.

lamardeuse (SGA, John/Rodney, 2940 words, Explicit)
I was going to say, “The reason you should read this is this line:” but then I found like a half a dozen lines that fit in that blank. Suffice it to say that John and Rodney are sixteen and fifteen, respectively, and they meet at a party and make out during a Maple Leafs game. It is adorable.

thingswithwings (Mythbusters, Jamie/Adam, 8139 words, Teen and Up)
Adam is the new(ish) kid in school, and Jamie is, well, Jamie, and this story does such a good job of encorporating so much of them and their lives. It all feels really true and real and gorgeous.

velocitygrass (SGA, John/Rodney, 3372 words, NC-17)
Oh, that most important of high school experiences: falling in love with one of your teachers. This story is kind of achy in places and totally hot in others, and Rodney’s horrible plan to seduce John is EXACTLY what teenaged Rodney McKay would think is a good idea.
17.5: A Love Story byhelenish (SGA, John/Rodney, John/OFCs, ~23000 words, NC-17)
I hesitated to include this one, because Rodney’s not actually a teenager, but has instead been deaged by an alien device, and that’s totally another rec list. I had to, though, because what makes this story so memorable is Rodney as a teenager and how much it sucks to be him. John can only sit idly by, and, oh. Boys.
That's all for today! If there's a rec list you'd like to see, please to commenting.
