DPP - Fanfic is to shipping as ...

... Peanut butter is to jelly?
Now that we know why you all ship, let's get down to the serious business of fanfic, because really, what's a shipper without fanfic?
I know we've done this before, but I admit that as a relative newbie, I personally cannot get enough fic recs. Between fanfiction.net, LJ, AO3 and god knows how many other sites, this is a bottomless pit and I KNOW that there are some fics that haven't been rec'd before.
I am going to change it up a little bit though and provide some rules:
1. All rec's should be your own personal, absolute, 100% "go-to" fic. In other words, these are fics that you read and re-read often and please provide a brief explanation of why they are your fave/go-to fics.
2. All rec's must have a K/L ship and/or reference. Fics that are just about Kara or Lee are okay too. We are, after all, all about the Pilots here :-)
3. There are no limits to the number of fics you can rec. In fact, the more the merrier.
4. NO RPF's please (there's a reason for this rule ... trust me.)
5. WIP's are allowed.
6. Any and all ratings are acceptable. We're all consenting adults here ;-)
To help jog your memories a bit, I've come up with some standard categories here. You don't have to rec a fic for each category. They're just here as a guide.
1. Angst
2. AU
3. Crack
4. Crossover
5. Fluff
6. Funny/Humorous
7. Introspective
8. Pilot!Banter
9. Romance
10. Smut
**BONUS: What was the VERY FIRST fic you read that dragged you into the rabbit hole of the K/L ship?
I'll post my list at the end of the day because I'm almost positive all of my fave's are going to show up in your comments at some point :-)
So come on! Pull out your list of bookmarks and let the rec'ing begin!
