This fic is amazing!! PS, you write any fics of your own?

——————-

Thank you for the submission! ^_^ I concur, it’s an absolutely wonderful fic where Sydney just really needs to get some sleep, and she’s willing to let just about anyone help, including a certain Anna Espinosa.

And thank you for asking, I do in fact write on occasion!! They’re umm…a little silly though, so I’ll leave it at that lol!

[aliasficrecs]

Anna fic rec :)

-----

Thank you for the submission! This fic is a really neat look into Anna's mind! Rated Teen.

[aliasficrecs]

HIIII NOT ME MAKING A THROW AWAY ACC FOR THIS BUT SHITTTT--- I wrote thinking of you is a poison i drink often and I'm literally trying not to cry bc i can not belive you mentioned my fic?????? (anna is def gay btw, happy pride!!!) okay have a good day haha

Oh that's awesome!!! And you certainly deserve it! :D

[aliasficrecs]

It is Pride Month Sydney, You Know What that Means

Based, of course, off the Breaking Bad pride month comic

Umm, don't look at that too closely. Anyway! Today I have compiled some of my favourite queer Alias fics, for your reading pleasure! In no particular order:

Thinking of You is a Poison I Drink Often by Best_Bi_666

Now I know I never shut up about this, but it is genuinely my favourite Anna/Sydney fic I've read! The dialogue is amazing, we've got a little bit of a mystery going on, and the girls are just in excellent form. It's rated Teen and is ongoing.

(The Meaning Of) Restoration by Jennifer-Oksana

Is it cheating to put a crossover on this list? I'd argue not, especially when it's as good as this one. The pairing is Lauren/Lilah from Angel, and while there's some very neat insights into BOTH characters, I don't think you have to be particularly familiar with Angel to enjoy it. It's rated Explicit.

Echoes by aphrodite_mine

There's never enough Rachel in the world, there's never enough Isabelle, and this story is doing it's darndest to make up for the lack. Isabelle finds out a secret from Sydney's past, and goes to seek out an old friend. An extremely interesting story. Rated Teen with an archive warning for Underage, so proceed at your own discretion.

A Book of Matches #3 by voleuse

What can I say, I love me some Anna/Sydney! This is a short, fun little meeting between the two while Anna's on a mission. Rated Teen.

Need to Destroy by hold_that_thought

Sydney starts having dreams about her missing years, dreams that Lauren is suspiciously involved, and she's determined to get to the bottom of it. Julia/Lauren is always a delight to see, and this certainly delivers well! Rated NC-17.

Gentlemen Prefer Blonds by auchic

Weiss has to start babysitting Sark, and absolutely nothing about this could possibly go wrong. A Syd/Weiss/Sark story that leans into the silliness a bit. All in all, just a fun read! Rated Explicit.

very little changes by MasterofAllImagination

Jack and Sloane meet again, and again, and again throughout the years. I'm in love with both the concept and the writing! Rated Teen.

Three Meetings by Vaznetti

And because this is my list, I'm gonna send you all off with another crossover! This time an X-Files crossover with Sark/Krycek as the pairing. Again, I don't believe you need to be familiar with both shows, but their Krycek is a delight! Sark is sent to meet someone who confuses and irritates him. Some wonderful tidbits about Irina on the side as well. Rated Teen.

Did I miss one you love, or you've written one yourself? Please share it! We'd love to see it! :D I'll also briefly mention that I didn't find any fics with trans characters, so if you have any up your sleeve *please* let us know! And, above all, you're cool, stay safe, I love you :) <3

I do recognise the irony in the fic rec blog *asking* for recs hee but we play the cards we're dealt you know

[aliasficrecs]

Heya - I'm writing a rather ambitious fic set after S2; heavy on the Jack / Irina. Any idea on where we might find some beta readers?

Sorry it took me a minute to answer! That sounds like an awesome fic, though! :D

Unfortunately, given the size of the Alias fandom these days, I'm not sure I can point you to any beta readers who will for sure be familiar with the material. But! If you don't need for your beta to know everything about the show, but rather just be a general editor, I do have a few suggestions!

If you don't mind using Reddit or Discord, the Beta Bartering Thread and the Fanfic Lounge respectively have lots of super neat people who will help with just about anything (and you never know if you'll get lucky and find another Alias fan!). You can also of course always post on here, there's plenty of cool people willing to beta read on Tumblr as well! Fanfiction.net also has a pretty neat beta reader directory, but I've found it can be hard to find users that are still active so your mileage may vary. And while I don't have a ton of experience as a beta reader, I'm always willing to try and help out!

Hope something here helped, and best of luck with your fic!

[aliasficrecs]

We're Back, Children!

Sorry bout that. Had a brief stint where I got brainwashed into working for a sketchy organization without any internet, but I'm back and we're all good now!

Without further ado, from AO3 we have:

The amazing conclusion of This Woman Here Depicted by Melissa (Assilem_1)! It's part of a series, so without spoiling too much I'll say that Sydney gets a chance to talk to some people from her past and explore how her life could have gone. There are some absolutely fabulous conversations in here! Very fun, rated G! Also up on FFN.

From the inimitable Irina_Derevko we have I Can Lie, Say I Like It Like That (like it like that). A fun little scene between Francie and Sydney! Francie is, as always, amazing; rated G!

-From the same author: Late Nights in the Middle of June (sometimes all i think about is you)--Sark! Lauren! A pun that made me yell 'OH' in the middle of the night! You know you want to! Rated T.

-Spinning Out in Space (pressing on my chest)--Laura and Jack have a talk about Project Christmas. A fun little insight into their relationship before the series! Rated G.

-A Cat by Any Other Name--If this has a thousand fans I am one of them, if it has none I am gone from this world etc.! Following the lives of all of your favourite characters after the series and introducing some amazing brand new ones (I'm looking at you, Amira), a new generation is brought into the espionage biz, because really, did you think they could stay out of it? This work is now complete, and there is now the starts to a sequel! (boy see how much happens when I'm gone for three months) Both are rated T.

-My Stone Heart Was Breaking (my love ran away)--A fun story exploring what would happen if Irina had been made immortal, too! Rated T.

-You Know I Didn't Want To Have to Haunt You (but what a ghostly scene)--A short little scene between Sydney and Vaughn as they talk about Lauren. Very light-hearted! Rated T.

And now, an update from an old favourite: Thinking of you is a poison I drink often by fallen_rose_petals! Some more of the mystery of Jade's identity is revealed, but another question still lingers: will Anna ever get Sydney to agree to go on a dinner date? Fun, intrigue, and fabulous banter! Rated T.

Everybody Else:

Nothing these months! (but I continue to check lj as if there's going to be someday)

[aliasficrecs]

Sharing another one of my holiday-themed faves, “The Thought That Counts”. A Jack centric story set in the lost two years – after Sydney’s ‘death’. Irina, Vaughn, Dixon, Marshall also make an appearance. Everyone is amazing in it – and Sydney, drifting around the edges of the story and affecting everyone’s decisions, most of all.

All of our friends and family during the holidays:

Us, reading Alias fanfiction 😌:

You might be wondering why we are Alias characters, if we're supposed to be reading the fanfiction. Are we reading about ourselves? That's not important. What is important is holiday Alias fics!

First off, submissions! We got one from the inimitable juliareed! They recommend Tonight, and here they've described it for us:

Sharing my favorite Alias holiday fic! It’s a mid s3 ensemble fic, called “Tonight”. It has everyone in it: Sydney, Jack, Irina, Sloane, Allison, Lauren, Vaughn, Dixon, Marshall, Weiss, Will, Sark. There’s a separate section dedicated to each character, and every section is incredible. It’s so so great!

Thank you to juliareed for sharing!

Next, you all have to suffer through reading my synopses (but trust me when I say you won't suffer while reading these fics!) In no particular order, we have:

#1 The Near and the Dear Ones by Auburn Sark and Sydney get into a tussle (as they do), and Jack and Irina have to work together to make sure their respective protégés don't freeze to death. Soup, singing, and stripy socks ensue. There are some very excellent conversations between Jack and Irina here! Rated G/K.

Quick sidenote: I think the fic might be archive locked on AO3, which means you have to have an account to read it. It is also on ffn, if you don't have one, however!

#2 The Third Gift by Caedn

Intrigue! Adventure! The magic of Christmas! All that and more awaits you! Sydney gets a mysterious summons to a tomb in Egypt, which happens to a) have a bunch of Indiana Jones-esque traps, and b) be themed after the three wise men. Now, she must navigate the dangers of the tomb with none other than one Mr. Sark in order to learn more about her time in the Covenant, but (as always) things are never quite that simple. Bonus: Will working for the CIA! Rated R.

#3 The Greatest Gift by spaztic lapdancing pinata

Sydney and Francie are shopping when they run into a friend from Syd's work. Vaughn gets invited to a Christmas party, and there's general wonderful fluff all around! The Syd and Francie dialogue is wonderful here, and bonus points for Amy being there! Rated T.

#4 The Sweetness by Karen T

A wonderful, bittersweet journey through Sydney's Christmas memories with Danny. I don't want to say too much and spoil it, but it is hilarious and wonderful, and then very, very heartbreaking. Rated T.

#5 Thaw by Rez

What's a man to do when Jack Bristow tells you to be his daughter's backup at Sloane's Yuletide party? Probably listen to him because he's terrifying. Sark gets a job thrust upon him, Lauren and Vaughn go dancing, and Sydney gets threatened (well, maybe). Rated M.

Another quick sidenote: I think this one is archive locked too, but you can also read it on ffn!

And finally, #6 Secret Spy Santas by vyduan

It's Christmastime at SD-6, and our pals our having a secret Santa exchange! Featuring some *amazing* Syd and Francie friendship and Irina being sweet to her children! (no seriously, Francie steals the show despite the fact she's never actually there. Such is her awesome power!) Sarkney-ish, fair warning. Rated G.

Anyway, stay safe, have fun, and go tell your favourite authors you love 'em! Happy holidays!

[aliasficrecs]

It's a Monthly Fic Round-up! :D

AND FINE. I'M LATE.

Anyway, there actually wasn't any new fic in November, but two of our favourites were updated!!

Thinking of you is a poison I drink often by fallen_rose_petals is an absolutely wonderful Anna/Sydney story full of adventure! Intrigue! Lots of fun banter! (Seriously, the banter is the best) And you know what? You should read it! Look, it's even rated 'T', for 'Tell-your-friends-about-it-too'!

This woman here depicted by Melissa (Assilem_1) is an amazing Syd/Vaughn story with, get this, time travel and alternate universes, which are about the coolest things ever, I think. Without giving too much away, Sydney gets to talk to some old friends and it's absolutely wonderful! Go! Go read it! It's even rated 'G', for 'Great-story-that-YOU-yes-YOU-should-read'!

(ps. it's also part of a series, so you'll have even more great fic to read!)

Anyway, make sure to give your local authors love, they deserve so much for giving us such great stories!

And, as always, send in some fic! :)
