New list, different theme. This time it's fluffy stories I'm after, stories that you find adorable, uplifting, that make you smile or squee like a happy little fangirl full of love. So rec me your cute, your adorable, your WC fic made of lovable win. Self pimping is more than welcome.
As with my other rec list, there are some guidelines.
1. The story needs to be well written. Not necessarily perfect, but the fewer spelling and grammatical errors the better.
2. The story needs to be realistic. Again, not perfect but not so over-the-top everyone seems OOC or you're wondering why the author didn't warn for it being crack!fic.
3. I like humor fic just as much as the next guy or gal but I draw the line at stories where the humor is at one person's expense. I don't care how funny the story is, if you got a group of people standing around laughing at one person in their face, I don't want it (it's a bit of a squick for me, you see).
4. Stories need to be complete. I don't care how good that WIP is, stuff happens and you can't always trust a story to be completed.
5. Because this is a personal list, not every story rec'd to me will be my cup of tea, therefore may not end up on the list. Please do not feel offended as it's a matter of personal taste and should not be interpreted as quality control or a reflection of the author's skills.
6. Gen only stories (though mention of canon pairings are okay as long as they are not the focus of the story. Het, slash, OT3, pre-het, pre-slash or slashy subtext I don't want).
The List
The Ties by Tommyhanson - When Neal was in Elementary school, he hated the month of June.
Why does my Heart Feel so Bad? by Rabidchild67 - Neal is seriously ill and Peter is beside himself with worry. He receives comfort from an unexpected source. (Okay, so it's possible this should also be in my H/C list but I felt it sweet enough to put in this list instead).
Rumor Mill by Vesperwhisper - Neal and Diana aren't in love. But as a simple favor spirals out of control, they're going to have a hard time convincing people of that. Quite fluffy. (This one is adorable and hilarious and has some great OCs).
All the Colors of the World by Friendshipper - Sometimes you have to go all the way around the world to figure out where home is. Completely hypothetical, probably doomed to be jossed futurefic.(Artist Neal!)
Contender by Swanpride - Peter and Neal go undercover as Father and Son.
Connotation by Swanpride - Clinton Jones is pondering about his position in the White Collar Unit.
Context by Swanpride - The White Collar Christmas Advent Calendar.
Also, don't forget to drop by the Gen H/C List for H/C and H/C rec'ing.

I don't tend to rec this categorie specifically, but there is always "short and funny" - but I suspect, you went through my rec list already.
