Rymon fic recs

So, this isn't a rec journal really, as half the stuff I read I don't think of as something anyone else wants to read, but two things spurred me to this post: allysonsedai mentioning that she wanted to read Rymon fic, and samgrrrl saying that she loved fic recs. So I thought I'd start with a Rymon rec list and then maybe go on from there to put down the fics that I really loved of the various little fandoms I've had "affairs" with, if for no other reason than my own records.

A couple of caveats. I don't like angstfests or downer endings. I avoid stories where Simon is a completely uncaring arse just as much as where he's too fluffy. If any of you know of things that aren't at idolslash, let me know. I'm not including the S6 stories because they're easy to find. All of these, though, are also in my memories.

I would love to be able to point you to the Ur-text, the "this is why we love them", the "this is the best story of how they got together" but it doesn't exist. This may be because they don't give good slow burn, but rather seem to me like a collision of planets, a sort of immediate connection, and the story is rather more when (or if) they stopped just fucking and really fell for each other. And there aren't even that many stories to begin with. So I give you six stories to read right now, four more worth checking out, one that has its moments, and the lowdown on the rest.

Happy reading!
