Apologies to anyone who was enjoying my weekly Leverage recs - I got too busy to continue… partly because I got into SVU and have been reading and devouring fic in that fandom.

And while there are far too many good fics to list a bunch, I have made a post for my personal top 5 Lewis arc fics over at my DW. Very EO-centric.

If you're an SVU fan who hasn't read much fic yet, you can't go wrong starting there! Or if it's been a while, and you don't remember the fics you used to read, the list not only has a few older ones but several much newer ones you won't have seen.

brightknightie: Midna, in imp form, and Link grin at each other (Zelda)
[personal profile] brightknightie
Fandom: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Rating: G, gen, no archive warnings apply
Title: "the gears of time turn on"
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] LadyHoneydee
Characters: starring Purah, with mentions of Symin, Robbie, Impa, and others
Length: 1,010 words
Summary: "A glimpse into the life and mind of Purah—mechanic, survivor of apocalypse, keeper of hope's flame—during the one-hundred years prior to Link's awakening in the Shrine of Resurrection."

Excerpt: "Eighty-one years is far too long to feed on nothing but scavenged hope. She’s going to sink her teeth into everything this broken, beautiful world can offer."

Recommendation: From three flashes of Purah's life leading up to the start of Breath of the Wild, this character study delivers a rich, nuanced reading of her motivations, with emphasis on her as a mechanic and as someone who shouldered guilt beyond her due. It touches on bittersweet and fierce second chances, grabbing at life, and the value of living compared to being alive. It brought tears to my eyes and made itself my Purah headcanon.

Summary:

K can remember wondering how the rest of the station was able to tell he was fresh, even though he knew the procedures, knew the network, knew the layout of the headquarters itself, and it only became obvious in hindsight. It’s in the way the rookie stares at things, the way his standing posture is too still, it’s in the strange newness of him. An earnestness.

But it is not a matter of fate, dear, no matter what the druid mystics say." He nodded at her wand. "When you throw a handful of petals in the air, can you control exactly where they fall? And would they always fall the same way twice?"
