I didn't see a huge amount of fic when the show was going on, at least not where I was hanging around on LJ, and it was pretty easy to be the only one writing a pairing, or the only one doing it in a certain way. I've ended up writing the only Ben/Locke longfic there is. I remember tons of people saying after the finale that they were going to write this or that fixit or AU, but the vast majority never ended up doing it. The finale was so divisive that a lot of them just didn't want to stick around, and the rest of canon can be obnoxiously difficult to deal with in fic no matter how non-plotty you do it, especially if you came down on the nope side of that debate. Lots of dead LJ communities, but lost_fanfic, ficinabottle and lost_slash are still around.

wait wait wait

a ben/locke longfic? oh man, would you be willing to rec it to me? if you don't want to do it in a comment you can send me a pm. i'd just really like to read it.

yeah the canon can be tricky, but idk i thought fandom would like the challenge? and if not whatever, i like AUs just fine.

i'll check out the comms, thanks for giving me the names so i don't have to google it :'

It's two shorts and a multi-chapter conclusion, therefore a trendy trilogy: http://archiveofourown.org/series/51839
I've been working on it for thousands of years but absolutely will finish it, hopefully this year, but that's my yearly saying. There's cuteness and smut, but not for a while. I hated their last scene in the finale so much that I wanted to really show a process of reconciliation. A lot of the writers just weren't plot-oriented enough to do the kinds of AUs they really wanted to do, I guess. I explain what I can in there in semi-plausible ways, but all my fic is character study with varying portions of sex, so there was no way I was going to go for a non-afterlife fixit.
