[livejournal.com profile] drbillbongo has asked me to rec my favourite SV fic but there are too many and I just can't choose!

What's a good entry level Clex fic for someone who has never seen the show before? One that captures everything we love about the boys

Not asking for much, are you? :-P

In April 2007, I bombarded [livejournal.com profile] svroundtable with themed lists of what I considered the best of the best.

http://community.livejournal.com/svroundtable/2007/04/

The lists have the story details, including summaries, so that might be a good place to start. The secrets and hurt/comfort seem to be where the CLex is strongest to me, where the bond between them can be captured the best.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of hurt/comfort Clex so it will probably be something in that category. I'll take a look. Thanks!

I would go for something by [livejournal.com profile] seperis. She's the author that got me into clex, which got me into fandom.

The first story I read was Sleep While I Drive, and that hooked me. Three Impossible Things is another fantastic one for a n00b.

My favourite of her short porny fics was probably Turn You On Somehow.

OMG you are in for such a treat. She's one of the best writers SV fandom's ever had. I'm totally excited for you!

I have to agree - her work is where I go when I need a reminder of why I fell in love with the boys. :-D

Eek, I agree with Kate! You have to read [livejournal.com profile] seperis, her writing is incredible!

She wrote my fav Clex fic: A Life More Ordinary. ♥

Um...
That Old Schizophrenic Jealousy by Lenore is hilarious and I reread that a bunch of times.

Caelum has some hot stuff, and her Clex is complicated and so good.

Omg! A Life More Ordinary is incredible. It made me cry SO MUCH when I read it I've never been able to read it again. And it's not even sad! I am totally going to reread it tonight.

Hee! And I get to read all these again as I narrow it down to one fic *g*

Anything written by me.

HA! Just kidding.

I have to agree that Turn You On Somehow is fantastic, as is a Life More Ordinary. Also, anything by Rhiannonhero on the SSA. She doesn't write anymore, sadly, but all of her fic is mind-blowing!!
