And since I haven't recced in a while, here goes. I'm reccing these by category, rather than by author, although you'll see many of the same authors pop up several times. A few of these are such influential fics, their repercussions are still being felt in fandom.
These are roughly in chronological order. They're slanted heavily towards Jack/Sawyer since that is my favorite Lost pairing. See fics for ratings, warnings and spoilers. Obviously, slash, bondage, death, insanity, and all other manner of dark things.
Apocalypse Now
Lost lends itself well to apocalyptic themes. Here are some of the best I've read:
Three by
Two to Go by
Day 365 by
Survivor by
Red Sky by
The Ruined City by
This Way Lies Madness
Everyone on Lost seems half-insane most of the time, and then there's the everpresent fear of that mysterious infection.
Paradise Lost by
Schism by
Exile - The Fallen by
Wild by
Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down
Incest! Torture! And that's the *canon* side of Lost. I could easily do a separate Sawyer/Sayid, Jack/Sawyer kinky/dark!fic rec post, but here are a few that stood out to me:
In the Wild by
Taking a Shot by
Taming by
In the Dark by
Fool's Gold by
Multitude of Sins:
Five Things That Never Happened to Charlie Pace by
Four Hours by
Character Death/General Creepiness
The island in Lost is a terrifying place, where anything can and will happen. These are some of my favorite fics on that theme, including variations on "the island is alive."
Nocturna by
The Unknown by
Useless Beauty by
Call It by
Hunting by
The Ways by
Offstage Lines by
A Tale of Gray by
Post-Island Doom
Variations on the theme that even if the castaways manage to leave the island, the island will never leave them.
