ficinabox recently wrapped up, and with nearly 1300 works, there are sure to be some I missed! Nevertheless, here is a recs list at my journal. I made it before author reveals, but the collection is de-anon'd now!

Fandoms include:

The Bear
Oasis RPF
Challengers
Saw
Interview with the Vampire (TV)
Final Fantasy XIV
Hamlet
Witch Hat Atelier
Cabin in the Woods
Star Wars: Original Trilogy
Original Work

across a variety of mediums!

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.

( 35 recs in a bunch of fandoms )

Copied from my journal:

From

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

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

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.

Frames for the New Unicorn is a 244-frame animation made up of individual pieces of art by over 150 artists, re-creating a scene from episode 2x04 of Our Flag Means Death.

Fandom: Our Flag Means Death
Relationship: Izzy & The Crew

Song: "Seabird" by Alessi Brothers

Project Organizers' Description:

For many fans of Our Flag Means Death, and particularly for fans of Izzy Hands, one scene had particular gravitas. In this scene, Izzy went from his lowest—alone and angry, drowning his sorrows—to being given a gift. A gift of a prosthetic for his lost limb, and a gift of community. The crew saw that he was hurting and put aside their own issues to tell him we see you, we care about you, we want you here. We believe that you can grow past this and we'll help.

Importantly, the prosthetic was created from the figurehead of the Revenge, the unicorn. On sailing ships, figureheads have always been signifiers of the ship itself, images of protection, and the crew chose Izzy to embody this. They chose him as their new figurehead—someone to care about them and lead them. They chose Izzy to embody the spirit of the ship.

This is a message that resonated with Licorne. In Spring of 2024 they envisioned this project as a tribute to both the character of Izzy Hands and to Con O'Neill, who brought Izzy to life in such a captivating manner. The community rallied behind them, and we're proud to present the combined effort.

Much love.

This scene was one of my favourite moments of season 2, and is still up there among my favourite moments of television. "Much love" is an apt close to the message from the organizers, because the love put into this project by its participants really shines through, especially in the gallery where you can see each individual piece of art that came together to create something bigger in the spirit of collaboration and community.

I'm not a f*cking mermaid by Heath
Fandom: Our Flag Means Death
Character: Jim Jiménez
Medium: Art
Length: 1 piece
Rating: General/SFW
My Tags: character study, happy ending, gender, identity, queer community, clothing

Description:

A full-colour drawing of Jim Jiménez in their early s2 outfit, crouched down with their face turned away from the viewer. They hold a nonbinary pride flag, the splintered-off stick it's flying from braced against their shoulder.

I adore Jim's s2 looks, and this illustration captures all the structured and textured details of what they were rocking during the Breakup Boat episodes: the leather and buckles, the netting and rope, the undercut, and everything else that signals both baring and protecting themselves. The perfect vibe for a pride pose.

Untitled Fang/Frenchie/Izzy/Roach by

cliopadra
Fandom: Our Flag Means Death
Ship: Fang/Frenchie/Izzy Hands/Roach
Medium: Art
Length: 1 piece
Rating: General/SFW
My Tags: slice of life, happy ending, established relationship, bed-sharing, cuddling, intimacy, sleep

Description:

A full-colour cartoon of Izzy, Roach, and Frenchie all using Fang as a mattress. Fang, smiling and radiating little pink hearts of affection, has his arms around both Izzy and Roach, while Frenchie has commandeered Izzy's backside as a pillow.

cliopadra's OFMD art always looks like it's straight out of Mad Magazine in the best of ways, particularly in their comics, which are usually crammed with background gags. Much as I love their absurd humour, my heart melted to see their squishy cartoon style applied instead to a sweet cuddle pile featuring four of my favourite characters.
