Since we've been having a lot of guests recently, and I suspect at least a few of them are my fault, I thought I'd write up in a post the information on reading the RPG I've been doling out in comments. If you haven't been checking it out and are looking for good fic, I'd really reccommend it. The style might not suit you, but if you can read around that the quality of the writing is fabulous. It's my "fix" for good fic these days.
First, reading the current plots is essentially impossible, because they aren't necessarily even made linearly, they aren't linked together properly and there isn't a masterlist for what's happening presently.
That said, there are three finished plots, two of which have functional masterlists at the moment, plus ways to read character-centric events.
The SettingWe pick up right after Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Everything after that (minus Fragments) is not part of our universe (Gwen's marriage, Tommy, From Out of the Rain) though we do pull details from the second season. We're basically a series two AU. We have no particular mandate other than to be true to our interpretations of the characters, but nothing is really off-limits. That said, you're unlikely to find fluff, or smooshy mpreg, or curtain-fic here. We list to the dark and difficult, though there are definite bright and humourous moments.
Our GM is

xtricks, who hand-picked us all (;)) and puts a ridiculous amount of effort into designing the plots. He initially played most of the NPCs, too, although we've been dividing them up amongst ourselves a little better as of late.
Finished PlotsNight Work: Our first plot. Fairly linear, explains how Andy joins the team. A good read for getting used to the format because it isn't as intricate and overlapping as later plots.
Refugee Plot: I've linked this because it will be completed at some point. Currently the index isn't finished, so I'd reccommend waiting to read this one. It happens before the next plot, but we finished it afterwards since our female characters players were unavailable for a month. In that time, the boys wrote...
The Night Travelers: Complete, and stands well on its own. It's also fairly linear but we reused threads a lot, so make sure you move to the next one at the right time. The numbers in brackets indicate which posts need to be read at that point in the story. This story is really wonderful, and we're working on turning it into a fic. That's slow-going, so if you want to read it now, go ahead.
The Night Travelers leads into our current (unamed) subplot, which involves Tosh. Those threads haven't been pulled together in a masterpost yet, though some of us (me, at least) have linked to our character's parts of them in our character's posts. There are some stories that aren't linked to the plots, and those can be read through the character posts, which aren't visible to guests but I can link you to them

These are constantly being updated. (Or should be. Must go do that.) So keep an eye on them.
Other SuggestionsAnother good place to look for stand-alone threads is the
flashback forum. Most of us should be updating our character posts with those, and they're often works in progress, but they're all background threads of the characters before the setting of the RPG. You should also check out the
interviews with our psychiatrist, played by
invisible_lift. The team bullied Jack into getting them more support, but they aren't necessarily that pleased when Jack does end up taking their advice.
ETA: We now have a working
Guest Forum, where the bulk of this post has been copied, and you are more than welcome to ask questions, chat in general, or tell us how awesome we are. Or how cracked out we are, which is possibly more to the point.
