piecesof_reeses So, I've been perusing the cabfic community, and there's a (surprisingly) large amount of good fic on there! :D I actually don't know much about the Cab except that they are adorable and seem to fail a lot. Which sounds perfectly awesome to me. \o/ Although Singer's hair kind of squicks me.
A few of my favorites so far:
Reality Won't Hurt Longer Than It Should, byriflethroughand miserylovedme
Marshall/Ian (with bonus Marshall/Gabe, Cash/Marshall, Singer/Marshall, Johnson/Marshall)
A really pleasantly plotty genderfuck starring Alex Marshall, who tbh looks a lot like a girl already. So, yay: not much stretch of the imagination required! Well-written, with a wonderfully schmoopy ending. :)

Wow, this is so adorable. There are boypiles and hugging and comforting and teasing, and yeah. I really don't think there's a single thing about this story I would change. Great characterization, as well. I'm really starting to get into the Cab. Snippet: "This is so gay," Johnson says, but he's climbing over as well, slower and quieter than Ian and Cash, and he gets around to curl into Marshall's side.

HS au. This was incredibly funny and awesome! Alex is faily and awkward, and Cash is a douchebag (as Alex reiterates many times throughout the story). And the thing is, it works so well.

I loved a lot of the characterization in here, especially Gabe's and Marshall's. One tiny issue I had, though, was that some of the events didn't seem to progress that naturally. I mean, well. Marshall had sex with a lot of people in what felt like a short time period. But, I dunno. It was still excellent! One of the most enjoyable cab fics I've read, definitely.
Snippet: "And I am now a girl," Marshall says slowly. He makes a face. "Well, kind of. Sort of. Physically, anyway. Whatever."Keep the Lights Off, by

I think I really love the realism of this piece. There are so many little details that she puts in that are so remniscent of high school, like braces, and slamming into lockers. Every bit of this feels like it could have been canon. Definitely A+++ job; would read again.
Snippet: Christine grins, and maybe it's not entirely nice. "Right, so like, did you really make out with Cash the other night?"
