This is one of the most ridiculous premises ever- programs being loaded into electronic devices so that they can exist IRL. And Zuse gets loaded into a phone. Featuring Sam arguing in public with the phone, snarky commentary, and, uh, literal phone sex. Also featuring tablet!CLU and angry Kevin Flynn. It's a comment fic, and is a little difficult to read in some places due to an HTML error, but it's definitely worth it to see, and it features an incredibly rare pairing, which is always a bonus for me. Even if you don't really like slash, this fic is mostly crack, and has The Douglas's approval.
How To Fail At Flirting
Fandom: Thor
Category: Slash
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Kinda-sorta-incest
So I've seen this movie twice now, and the first time, I forgot to bring my slash hat (which is surprising, usually I can't get the damn thing off). The second time, the slashy potential hit me like someone dropped a piano on my head. How had I missed this? The next day I decided to go look for some fic, and luckily, about 95% of the fandom appears to be slash (with the other 5% Mary-Sue self insert fics, but that doesn't really count in my mind). While some people might find this particular pairing a bit squicky because of the pseudo-incest, this particular fic is a pretty harmless introduction to the fandom, since it's mostly crack (although it still is slash, just... cracky slash, or slashy crack). And now I'm rambling, so I'm going to shut up.

Damn, this particular rec is just full of kink meme fills... oh well. It's no secret that I enjoy crack fic. It's also no secret that I enjoy image macros, especially LOLcats. I also am quite fond of the TRON fandom. So what do you get when you combine all three of those things into one? Well, duh, you get this fic! Quorra “accidentally” releases LOLcats into the Grid, and Tron doesn't know what to make of them. I especially like the floating text captions that come with the cats, and Tron's reaction to the fact that you can't derezz a LOLcat was just priceless. This fic is perfect for those days you just need some cheering up.
Multi-Chapter Fics
Basic Imprinting
Fandom: Twilight
Category: Slash
Rating: PG-13, with a caveat
Completion Status: 24 chapters, complete, sequel in progress
OK, so there's two caveats with this fic- one, I haven't had time to read the sequel yet, so I can't in good conscience rec that yet, and two, this story is mostly PG-13 rated, and a low PG-13 at that, except for the last chapter, which gets closer to R territory.
Anyway, this isn't usually the type of thing I'd read, but I'm also extremely picky when it comes to Twilight fic (I'll only read slash, for example), and I don't usually like “imprinting” fics, basically because the premise weirds me out in general. But I first started reading this one almost a year ago, but lost my place even though I had been enjoying it. I had all but forgotten about this one, until I stumbled across it again a few weeks ago. This time I was able to read it to the end, and found I really enjoyed it. The thing that's so remarkable about this fic is how good it is at getting into your head and manipulating your emotions. It's not quite angsty, but it's also not exactly the happiest fic ever, so keep that in mind.
