Guardian Recs AU

[clevermanka]

Last week china_shop  mentioned that June 13 is the anniversary of Guardian and wouldn't it be fun to post themed fic recs? I was on board but couldn't think of a theme except for, you know, general hotness. But then I read a non-rated (basically G) fic where everybody is lawyers and even though I didn't understand half the vocabulary I was fucking invested in that fic like god damn.

So here are five recs for AU stuff--which I'm usually not a giant fan of? But so far I'm loving them for Guardian. I tried to pick not-so-new pieces.

Oooh thank you for the university fic, it was deligthful! And I totally second that lawyer AU, it was fantastic!

I love Paths so much! That's always my go-to rec. :D And of course anything zaira writes is GOLD. <3

The university fic is so cute! The title of it is funny enough on its own (it's a phrase I use often in my head), but after finishing the story it's hilarious.

I think(?) Paths was the first AU fic I read that was actually a different world, not just canon-divergent, and I was like "oh I am on board with this." I don't think I'd even finished the show, yet.

When I read the title my mind was immediately playing What's Up by 4 Non Blondes.

The lawyer au is in my rec post for this meme as well. It was *soo good*!

(hmmm i have skipped the kidfic so far, but if it's this good, I guess I shouldn't keep postponing it...)

I've enjoyed two kid-fics in any fandom, ever, and that is one of them. It really is that good.
