1 x Severance Vid

16 TONS by [youtube.com profile] lemgob
Fandom: Severance
Characters: Mark S., Helly R., Irving B., Dylan G. (+ Irving B./Burt G.)
Medium: Vid
Length: 2:26
Rating: SFW (note: contains a brief clip of a suicide attempt by hanging)
My Bookmark Tags: character study, drama, dark, humour, ambiguous ending, identity, resistance
Song: “Sixteen Tons” by Tennessee Ernie FOrd

Excerpt:
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? / Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go / I owe my soul to the company store

This song choice is inspired, and the editing is top notch. Both perfectly fit the show's combination of humour and darkness—the upbeat retro cheer and the corporate horror—and the verses are mapped impeccably to the four main characters in a way that had me grinning when I realized what order we'd be seeing our leads in. I particularly love how the meaning of "I owe my soul" shifts subtly character by character, knowing what we do about what brought them to Lumon and who they’ve become there.

35 Fic In A Box Recs

I did not quite finish reading through the collection and making my rec list before authors were revealed ... but I at least had the last few tabs already open on my computer so I read them without knowing who the author is, and I didn't go back and check to add the names in to the fics I'd already saved the rec information for. Anyway, you should go diving through the archive because there was at least one I wanted to rec that didn't have sharing enabled and so is not in this list.

Recs from recent exchanges

Copied from my journal:

From [community profile] trickortreatex:

Jeeves and Wooster:
Jeeves Coshes Death on the Noggin - 1.2K, T, Bertie and Jeeves

Bertie appears to be dead, despite his protests to the contrary. A wonderfully written fic, excellent voice, good laughs all the way through.

From [community profile] seasonsofdrabbles:

Original Work:
clandestine coffee - 200, G, gen

Sweet double drabble of an angel enjoying an autumn day.

Asante's Vigil - 100, G, gen

Protective gorilla bonding with her child.


From [community profile] ficinabox:
Original Work:
Art:
better kept in secret - G, pirate captain/navy captain nemesis

Lovely colors and movement in this piece. Reminds me of 18th century illustrations, which is very fitting for the characters.

Tiny Witch With a Tiny Familiar - G, fairy witch

An autumn witch in mixed media, pressed leaves for the most part. Very nicely done and well shaped.

Fic:
Elder - 1K, NR, superheroes and villains

Good worldbuilding in a small space, interesting characters, some nice humor.

Palaces out of Paragraphs - 1K, NR, Crown Princess Who Was a Writer/ Faraway King Who Loves Her Books

A very lovely epistolary exchange of two people hiding their identities but making a connection over a shared love for books.

per my last email - 2.4K, G, IT Guy & Sentient Printers He Cares For

There were several works made with this premise but this was my favorite of the lot. The printers were such adorable characters in themselves (be sure to use a converter for their binary email subjects), and the people around them cared so much! Delightful.

PATAGONIA, 202X - 18K, M Angel Carcass Fallen From the Sky & Scientists Studying It

Wonderfully creepy and explorative. I love all the questions this brought not only for the readers but for the characters.

All The Old Paintings On The Tomb - 6K, T, Disposable Supervillain Grunt Squad & Squad Leader Trying To Keep Them Alive

This was fantastic! My favorite episode of any long-running TV show is always the lab rat/squintern episode, where we see the daily life of the secondary characters, and this had so much of that feel to it. Absolutely enjoyed this.

Star Trek:
IDIC - 65, G, poetry

Several haiku on the destruction of Vulcan. Beautifully crafted.

Denorios Belt Briefs - 1K, NR, Deep Space Nine crew, Jake Sisko

News briefs and bits of interest as written by Jake Sisko. Fun and amusing!

Bones:
Adoption Day - 1.4K, G, Jack Hodgins/Angela Montenegro

Jack and Angela adopt rats, and it is adorable how they prepare for them. Plus the names are spot on.

Downton Abbey:
Trading Favours - 2.1K, G, Thomas and Anna

Pre-canon, Anna catches Thomas at something he's not supposed to be doing (what else is new XD ) and they come to an arrangement. Keeps Thomas' bite without making him horrible, displays Anna's cleverness well.
