L&O Fic Recs (Mostly Kincoy)
Notes:
Fics are listed in no particular order outside of website specifications
Most of these fics are Claire/Jack, but not all (there’s also character-centric fics, some femslash, at least one niche rarepair, etc.)
If you read, be sure to reblog (Tumblr), kudos (AO3), and leave a kind comment (all platforms)!
The summaries for the majority of these fics are the same as were posted with the story; for the one or two that had particularly vague summaries or no summary at all, I provided a sentence
Fics are complete unless stated otherwise
I may update this list occasionally in the future :)
Feel free to reblog with your own additions!

– tracing the relationship between Claire and Jack, from their first kiss to their last.
it was more than worth it, by faerialchemist (me!); Claire/Jack, 2 chapters, rated T, 32k.
Claire shook her head, lacing their fingers together. “How about we lay down some ground rules?”
Jack chuckled. “Rules, huh?”
“Yes.” A smirk twitched at her lips. “If you come within six inches of my personal space in the office, I have permission to taze you.”
(Or: 7 times people found out about Jack and Claire’s relationship + 1 time people were told.)

“Most people wait until Christmas to let it flow – memories, guilt, joy, pain – but I should have known you wouldn’t be caught dead in a conventional depression.”
the lock that kept it dark, by serenaclaires; Alexandra & Jack, Abbie & Jack, Claire/Jack, oneshot, rated M, 5.3k.
The first few times, it’s the smallest glimpses. A flash of dark brunette in the back of a courtroom that is gone as soon as he sees it.

Jacqueline “Man-eater” McCoy, Claire recalls the sexist but accurate nickname among the many the new EADA had acquired.
match point, by faerialchemist (me!); Claire/Jack, oneshot, rated T, 2.9k.
Jack raised an eyebrow. “Claire, Adam wants us to be in the office at 7 tomorrow.”
Claire bit back another sigh. “I’m well aware, Jack, but like you said—my car isn’t going anywhere right now. Not without a tow truck.”
“Then let me take you home.”
Claire stiffened, her traitorous heart skipping a beat at his suggestion. “I’m sorry?”
won’t you hang a picture?, by faerialchemist (me!); Claire/Jack, oneshot, rated T, 3.6k.
She watched in silence how his toned back, his firm shoulders rose and fell with each slow breath he took, the consequential snores causing her to bite her tongue to hold back a laugh. If only the court could see him now—the fearless, fiery Jack McCoy sleeping on his stomach with one hand under his pillow and snoring like a disgruntled cat.
Maybe it was selfish, maybe it was childish, but Claire reveled in the fact that this sight was one reserved solely for her.
(Or: It’s 3 AM, and Claire Kincaid finds herself thinking about Jack McCoy.)
come on, babe (why don’t we paint the town?), by faerialchemist (me!); Claire/Jack, oneshot, rated T, 2.9k. Part 1 of and all that jazz.
“Sounds lovely,” Jack said. He started commenting about the color, some stupid, quippy remark, no doubt, but Claire was only half-listening as she stood to slowly unzip her pencil skirt.
Based on the way Jack cut himself off with an awkward cough halfway through his sentence, Claire had a feeling her phone had picked up the sound just fine.
(Or: Claire gets ready for a night out. Jack listens in.)
find a flask (we’re playing fast and loose), by faerialchemist (me!); Claire/Jack, oneshot, rated T, 5k. Part 2 of and all that jazz.
Of course, Jack’s age hadn’t stopped a few beautiful young women—and one handsome young man—from approaching him with a wink and a casual hand trailing across his chest. One girl had curly dark hair and was even wearing a short red dress.
But none of them were Claire, and therein lay the problem.
(Or: Jack tries to find Claire on her night out. Easier said than done.)
come on, babe (we’re gonna brush the sky), by faerialchemist (me!); Claire/Jack, oneshot, rated T, 2.7k. Part 3 of and all that jazz.
Wincing at the stiffness of her shoulders and the thunder that continued to boom against the inside of her skull, Claire reached over to retrieve the folded paper.
It was a note, she realized upon closer inspection, a note scribbled in very familiar cursive. Its message was concise: You’ll need these.
Right.
Jack.
(Or: Claire wakes up after a wild night out. Jack is there, too.)
With Mechanical Assistance, by ememmyemmers; Claire/Jack, oneshot, rated G, 1.5k.

belief, by lonely_is_so_lonely_alone. Claire/Jack, oneshot, rated T, 7.1k.
He doesn’t believe in ghosts. Nope. Not at all. He is Jack McCoy, rational down to cynical. He’s seen all the world can offer, right under the floorboards of humanity and back out. He doesn’t believe in ghosts but – but – there’s a ghost sitting on the edge of his desk when he gets back from court.

There’s a comfort to the ritual, Claire on the couch with case files, him on the phone, even the open bottle.
