Community Recs Post!

[snickfic]

Every Thursday, we have a community recs post, like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments. This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, if you don't have a DW account to make posts of your own, or if you're just shy. :)

(But don't forget, you're also welcome to post recs directly to the comm seven days a week. :D)

So, what cool fic/art/vid have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below! Anon comments are enabled.

Have a few good Leverage fics that flesh out canon scenes just a bit more, either through backstory or character study:

Definitely Not Sisters by LibraryMage (1650 words)
An interesting take on the fallout from Archie claiming Parker as his daughter.

A plethora of personalities by YvonneSilver (1678 words)
Remember when Sterling said, "I've seen Sophie Devereaux play a dozen people… drunk"? Yeah, this might have been how that went.

Cold by LibraryMage (241 words)
A lovely missing scene with Parker and Eliot from The Experimental Job.

Role of a Lifetime by NienteZero (508 words)
A good Sophie character study from season 1.

Context by page_runner (1669 words)
I wasn't the only one who thought the flashback with the home ec instructor teaching Eliot about knives and context was an odd one. This does a good job of making that make a whole lot more sense!

Border Maneuvers by Rana Eros (ranalore) (100 words)
Remember that interesting exchange between Sophie and Eliot in the very first episode, about the Chinese border town? This drabble explores that nicely.

Oooh, that first one looks super interesting! I am always interested in the fallout from that episode (I even wrote my own version of it!) and I wish more people would play with it!

I know! I gasped at that scene and went "they actually had him say that!" and then the show did *nothing* with it after that ep (and all they had him do was "approve" of Hardison, which was like "what, really, that's ALL you do with that???"). And the show has Archie come off a lot better in some ways than I think of him, lol. Dealing with that would've been way more interesting than some of the stuff they did in S5, in my opinion.

I've probably read your fic, too, I just can't remember as I've been reading chronologically through both AO3 and ff.n so my recs tend to be "stuff I read during this last week" not "everything I thought was really good". When I get through it (and finish processing metadata for the Yahoo Groups Fandom Rescue Project) I plan on working on my fanfic database again and can't wait to enter the Leverage fics into it, because then I might actually be able to *find* half the awesome fics I've read again. :)
