In Memory of Me by coisceim (M)
And now, the end is here...
My final rec of the month -- and the rec I've been waiting all month to post. This is the story that prompted me to propose reccing WWE fanfic on the Crack Van.
I hope you've enjoyed the ride; I know I have. :)
Fandom: WWE
Pairing: John Cena/Randy Orton
Length: long (11 chapters + an epilogue)

Why this must be read: because this is, hands down, the best amnesia!fic I have ever read. In any fandom. Period.
WWE Superstars are constantly getting hurt; not just the occasional cut or bruise, but serious injuries. The WWE often has more than a handful of wrestlers unable to compete due to injury, and it isn't unusual for a Superstar to be 'out' for months because of surgeries and rehab.
For obvious reasons, head injuries are particularly problematic -- and it is a head injury that coisceim explores in her heart-wrenching, laugh-inducing, scream-at-the-screen amazing story.
I literally couldn't stop reading this (if I'm remembering right, I stayed up until 3 a.m. to finish it), and had to wipe away tears more than a few times. This story is told from Randy's point-of-view, and it is his emotions coisceim drops, bomb-like, on her readers, just as Randy experiences them.
Well plotted, well researched, and extremely well written, with an excellent supporting cast, this is a story you're going to want to read, even if you have no interest in the WWE at all. I promise you won't regret it.
In Memory of Me
And In Memory of Me's prequel, the Deny 'Verse, in which Randy falls in love with his best friend in five (not so) easy steps.
