Spideypool Fanfics (SEMI-HIATUS)
PLEASE NOTE: This list contains only SOME of the many Spideypool fics written until now. I couldn’t list ALL the stories suitable for a single question. These are just some suggestions, recs of good quality fics that can be a satisfying answer.

Changing of the Guard by Ecolea (on Fanlore)
Summary: Methos' plans for a little Research and Recreation take a decidedly dangerous turn when the Air Force discovers he's an Immortal. Can he survive the present, confront his past, and save Earth's future all at the same time? // this is the fanlore article page for the crossover series, but it has all the links to the various sequels. easier to just bookmark this.

A Square Peg in a Round Hole, or Junior Year of High School, Revised, A Clones Tale - MarbleGlove
Methos was just spending a year as a high school teacher; Jake O'Neil was just trying to be someone other than Jack O'Neill; neither are simple individuals. // Highly recced. Fascinating story, completely satisfying. Love Teal'c in this, too.

The Great Subconscious Club - Mikkeneko (AO3)
This series is amazing. It's got one of the best explanations of Loki's actions during the Avengers movie, not completely original but much more than a handwavey 'it was mind control/torture' or 'it was all a devious plot in Midgard's favor' and very well done. The friendship between Charles Xavier and Loki is very well written. Canon Charles usually sets me teeth on edge, but he's great here while still in-character. Loki's growth and healing is just awesome. The second fic in the series, 'Cover Up the Sun' features Loki being a total BAMF while protecting others - violent protectiveness is my bulletproof narrative kink and it's incandescent here. I rec this 'verse SO HARD.

Skillet Chicken Nachos recipe from Betty Crocker
I think I'd doctor and change the hell out of this before making it myself, but the basic idea is there.

interesting - suggests using the 8 points as a checklist while writing if you sense something has gone wrong rather than as a roadmap beforehand.

The Course - Bone & Aristide
This is one of my favorite Fraser/RayK fics. "He would take the stutter of real over the fluent of fantasy any day." -- a sentence that has stuck with me since the first time I read the fic years ago.

Merope - pprfaith - Teen Wolf (TV) [Archive of Our Own]
Honestly, all Stiles wanted was to live to see eighteen without serious bodily harm or, you know, death. She has no idea when the hell that turned into the supernatural version of the Hunger Games. // This is the latest installment in my absolute favorite female!Stiles 'verse, *Like the Greeks*. Until I read this, I was pretty sure nothing could top the 3rd story in the series. I was pleased and surprised to find out this one is even better.

And I Am Always with You - Lauralot - Captain America (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe [Archive of Our Own]
Long after Bucky forgets his own name, he remembers "Steve." // my comment to the author was: "This was so well written, with the subject matter handled so deftly. The emotion in the story was just wonderful - Bucky's thoughts and feelings evolving and surfacing as well as the (sometimes incomprehensible to Bucky) emotions/reactions of the people around him. Truly one of the best fics I've read in any fandom."

All The Angels and The Saints - Speranza - Captain America (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe [Archive of Our Own]
So Lim describes this as "a motherfucking 95 year epic love story of socialism! science fiction! and hard core gay fucking!" and, er, she's not wrong really. // that is not the official story summary BUT IT SHOULD BE.
