Veronica Mars - Fic Recs from 2006
I found an old VM Fic list of recommendations from literally 19 years ago. So I thought I would transfer it here based on the lovely @jjmazzy's suggestion so it can be shared. These were all LJ ones, but I will give the A03 link if I can find them.
When The Cuddling Isn't The Best Part
Veronica decides to deal with Logan the only way she can - by fucking him out of her system. What actually happens is a slow reconnection of the two lovers, where they begin to face their issues and move along in their relationship.
âWow, Logan, youâre speechless. I wish I had known sooner that this was a sure-fire way to get you to shut up.
A Trip To The Dentist - Extended scripts
The author has taken a few of the scenes from ATTTD and extended each one into a full blown episode, complete with mystery. Veronica and Logan's relationship develop - and Veronica is going through a very tough time isn't glossed over. Excellent reading.
You made it okay for people to hurt me. In fact, you made a game out of it. So how many guys were there, Logan? Just you or was there a whole group?
An imaginative and different twist on the events of season two.
Did Lamb ever watch the Road Runner cartoons? He should have. They would have taught him a lot about law enforcement. About the futility of battling Veronica Mars.
Logan and Weevil make a bet about Veronica.
An inelegant, feminine snort came from the back seat, âWho was your latest challenge? Kendall? And could you please stop referring to women as things?â
The Shocker
One Two Three Four Five
Logan spots Veronica in her Wrath Of Con outfit and finds it - appealing.
Logan watched as she crossed the room. He wasnât the only one, though. She was the only girl there and she looked like she had just sprung up from the pages of manga - all short skirt, tight shirt, knee highs and curves. If her hair were blue or green, he would have sworn she was fictional.
The World Turned Upside Down
One, Two and Three Four and Five Six and Seven Eight A Eight B Eight C Eight D Eight E
Lynn wants out from Aaron and goes to Keith for help - and end up all living together, much to Veronica and Logan's disgust. This AU spans season one - what changes with the new living arrangement?
At that moment, Lynn drove up with the moving van behind her. Suddenly the pieces began clicking together in Veronicaâs mind, the color slowly drained from her face. âThis canât be happening,â she muttered, disbelievingly. Wallace glanced at the moving van curiously and then at Lynn, who was getting out of her car.
One Two Three Four Five Six Six B
Set in the future - Logan and Veronica suddenly find themselves neighbours. Their mystery pasts are slowly revealed as things begin to get serious between them again.
He felt it. The charge, the spark, the magic. He felt it when their eyes locked and he could see more than she probably wanted him to. He felt it before their mouths met and opened to each other. He felt it before he leaned her back into the sand and held her body close to his, hands touching every inch of skin.
When Angels Speak
Veronica dies at the end of season one and she watches her loved ones stumble on without her. So far - every chapter has made me cry. Utter brilliance.
I now knew it would be my last day alive. Daddy wasnât coming. I knew he wouldnât be able to forgive himself later, wouldnât forgive himself for being unable to save me. I wished I could tell him it was okay.
Turnabout Is Fair Play
Veronica talks out her relationship issues with Logan. He helps her through it. ;)
The word echoed in the car, making her cringe. Nothing but utter silence followed, and she began to wish sheâd just not bothered waking up that morning. Who could have known what horrors awaited?
Part two
When Veronica goes to find her Mum after Ruskie Business, she runs into some trouble and calls Logan for help.
She bites down on his shoulder and makes a hoarse, agonized sound when he yanks her arm and pops her shoulder back into place. Lilly used to do that, bite him right there, when they had sex. But this is not sexual at all, and he finds himself glad that he is able to return a little of the comfort she offered him after the scene with Trina.
Finger In My Pie
Lilly goes to space. No, really. Okay, so this a fabulous AU, actually centred around Veronica, not Lilly. It made me gush. She took this difficult challenge and spun it into something original and interesting.
Lilly Kane used to be my best friend and her brother Duncan - our brother - my boyfriend. After Duncan had broken up with me, I was devastated. But I still had Lilly, right? Wrong.
The Vorpal Blade Went SnickerSnack
The events of Leave it to the Beaver end differently, and Logan and Veronica deal with the aftermath,
He always thought that it would be more dramatic. He thought that there would be soulful movie music playing in the background, that there would be close-ups on faces, and amplified and overenthusiastic yelling.
How to Hold Your Breath Underwater
Logan leaves after S1 and Veronica goes looking for him.
It would have been like this, sex with Logan, if they'd done this before. He was broken in a different way then. Back then it hadn't been her doing.
Seven Not So Deadly Sins
A fic I really enjoyed for the 7 Sins, 7 Virtues challenge. The word was envy and she looks at most of the main characters in Neptune.
Hollow WorldThis daring story is dark and sad. A must read.
âMy problem is that I have an English midterm inââ she peers at the clock, the numbers glowing in the darkness, ââsix hours. And I canât remember the name of Jane Eyreâs stupid house.â
The Absence of Feeling
Logan has no choice but to go away and get his life sorted out after 2.9.
âDid you know?â Veronica's eyes narrowed accusingly, and she came dangerously close to stabbing a blunt fingernail into his chest.
The Benefits of Being Lost
I really enjoyed this fluffy(ish) look at what happens when Veronica gets sick and Logan finds her.
âVeronica?â Mrs. Murphy paused when she didn't get an answer for the third day in a row. Logan barely paid attention during her lectures, much less the roll call, but it was the waver in Mrs. Murphy's voice that suddenly had him singularly focused.
Not Any Heavy Thing
Veronica's car breaks down in the desert, and there is only one person she can call⌠I adore this fic so much.
âLook, Logan. Thereâs no one left for me to call so if youâre not going to come get me could you just say â âcause I have a hell of a walk ahead of me.â
So this is a fic that gets rec'ed everywhere, but there is a reason. Excellent script fic - even if you aren't a fan, give this one a try.
Now granted, some of the things Mac's done with her computer have been on the grey side of legal. I should know -- she did half of them as favors for me. But getting arrested? What'd she do, download the new Metallica album?
Another Lilly doesn't die fic, but oh so fabulous and twisted.
Lilly settles back in her seat, Logan's jaw sets, and you realize. You're going to be grounded until your death.
Veronica goes looking for Duncan and Logan annoyingly (for her) tags along.
V and Logan find their way back to each other and solve a mystery, too.
It's the ten year Neptune High reunion and Veronica comes back. Original, great characterisation and just - yeah. Just read it.
âWho would have believed youâd end up still at Neptune High after all this time? Do they tape you up to the flagpole every day, just to keep you from leaving?â
Pixie, Vixen
A mix of Fab Four flashbacks and Lilly visiting Veronica. Excellently done.
Together, Logan and I jumped up and ran for the door, my braids whipping past his face. The teacher started to yell at us but was interrupted by a ringing bell signalling the end of class.
Mars Out of Neptune
Lianne snatches Veronica after Lilly dies and goes on the run. A great AU of season one, weaving the events into a believable fic.
âWhat are you still doing here?â The words were scribbled all over the place, amidst other words that only got more hurtful as she found them. Her eyes burned, holding back tears.
Down the Vibrant String
Lilly lives vicariously through Logan and Veronica, with an amazing ending.
âCome on dorkus, what are you waiting for? He came to your rescue, now say thank you like a good girl â bad girl â whatever.â
Let me know if you found any golden oldies from this!
