joan of arcadia

I might as well get this out of the way because I'm going straight to hell for this -- I'm one of those sickos that (in theory) likes the Joan/CBG 'ship. I say 'in theory' since I don't like most of the fics centering around this pairing. Go figure. I tend to prefer Joan/CBG in a non-blasphemous, barely 'shippy way.

 

After An Afternoon
PG | Gen
Most Joan/Adam fics are too sappy for my tastes. However, this one involving Joan attempting to "[Figure] Out Adam" is just right.


Ectasy and Agony
PG-13 | Gen/Spiritual
A fallen Joan who hasn't quite fallen. The last two lines of the fic just sums everything up beautifully.


I Did it My Way?
G | Gen
Joan's thoughts regarding what's been happening to her that's just spot on season one Joan.


Illusion
PG | Gen
Post-'Silence' fic. Goes the 'God has a chat with Joan' route. Also I like the incorporation of Helen at the end.


Leda, Mary and the Rest
PG-13 | General/Drama
I first avoided this fic because it was labeled Grace/CBG. Then because I had nothing else to read I steeled my stomach and dove in. I am so glad I did. It's a great Grace-centric fic and not quite what one expects from the labeling.


Safe
G | Gen
A sort of slight AU/Missing Scene 'Recreation' fic. This one leans a bit more in the Joan/CBG 'ship than my other rec's, but still can be read in whichever way you want to take it.


same sky
PG | Gen
Joan/God-ish. Short fic in which Joan looks for God.


Snapshots of a Hero's Journey
PG-13 | Action/Adventure/Romance
I don't normally like drabbles (too short for me), but string a whole bunch together to form a larger story and I'm hooked. It's got a healthy (unhealthy?) dose of Joan/CBG in it, but don't let that scare you off. The author makes it work without turning God into a hormonal teenager.


Summer, God and, Manolos
PG-13 | General/Crossover
JoA/OC crossover. More of an OC focus, but features Joan's God(s) as we know and love 'em.


The Darkest Night
PG-13 | Drama/Angst
Though I really don't see Joan as suicidal and I really dislike those types of fics, I like this one. The inital Joan/CBG warning scared me, but honestly I see this more as Joan/God frienship than actual 'ship. Read into what you will.


The OTHER Cute Boy
PG-13 | Gen
Normally CBG-as-a-mortal fics have me running in the opposite direction, but the author manages to make it work (my only quibble is the 'nod to the actor' character name -- names like those tend to pull me out of a fic) and while it's got elements of Joan/God, Joan/Adam fans will not be disappointed.
