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.

hekaterasA rec of my gift in the Five Figure Fanwork Exchange that went live a few days ago! I requested a fun genre blend for a ship I nominated (hey, let me take one speck of credit for this >: P ) and boy oh boy did a mysterious someone take me up on it!
Winds wander, and dews drip downward
Ship: Fairy Prince/Noir Detective (M/M)
Wordcount: ~11k
Tags: Case Fic, Worldbuilding, Cyberpunk, IN SPACE!, Fae & Fairies, Detective Noir
My summary: A noir detective returns to the city after years spent on the outskirts of the galaxy where time flows differently, to find that much has changed: his old partner was murdered, and everything about it has the whiff of a dangerous case better left well enough alone. Unfortunately, James has never been one for leaving things well enough alone -- and what's more, a high-placed Fae he's got history with now runs the local prestigious night club, and has taken an interest in the case. But James knows better than to let himself fall into Alder's orbit again...
My commentary: A delightful genre blend of a crime noir casefic in a high-tech universe with elements of urban fantasy, cyberpunk, and space travel. Fantastic mystery with several delightful plot twists and a tense and intriguing pre-slash relationship. The writing is beautiful, the world described is full of rich visuals, and the story does a good job of dangling plot beats and letting you connect the dots rather than spelling things out. The ending is both satisfying and leaves you craving more.
10/10 fic, read it!

Candyheartsex 2025 Recs
Feb. 23rd, 2025 02:14 pmmusycCross-posted from my journal. Most works are SFW G/T-rated. ☆ on favorites!
First up, my gift!
due South
☆5 Times the Department Almost Found Out About Us + 1 Time Someone Did - Fraser/RayK, 6.4K, M.
I love five times fics, I love secret/hidden relationships, and I love spot-on character voices, and this fic delivered on all counts! A wonderful series of moments between Fraser and Ray. This was a fantastic gift, and I was delighted by it.
Art
Original Work:
Nestled in Green - A very cute mother and baby orangutan. (Sidenote, the recipient, Danceswithorangutans, has a very specific niche and I adore them for it. I love an exchange recipient who knows exactly what they want and requests it with glee.)
Kaiju Love - Cute kaiju and its friend!
Let Virtue Take Her Sacred Nap - Fairy and human - I love the colors and style of this piece. It reminds me very much of a lushly illustrated book.
Fic
Firefly:
Stitches & Needles - Jayne/Simon, 500. Jayne and Simon flirt-insult while Jayne gets stitches. Good voices and verbal sparring.
Winnie-the-Pooh:
☆A Good Day - Piglet and Pooh, 650. Piglet and Pooh have a celebration. Wonderfully reminiscent of the original books. This could easily have been included by Milne.
MCU:
☆Setting a Schedule - Clint/Natasha, 1K. Clint and Natasha are having some trouble finding time to be together, but they find a practical, if unorthodox, solution.
Addams Family
☆The Heart of an Addams is Hard to Refuse (they will hunt you down and throw it through your window) - Wednesday/Joel, 1K. This was absolutely wonderful. Great lines, excellent attention to voices, and an enthralling Addams-ish solution to their quandary. Second favorite fic of the whole exchange.
Babylon 5:
Pick Up the Stones - Delenn and Sinclair, 1.9K. A meditative piece on mourning. Very flowing, and a nice look into Delenn's mind.
Ghosts (US)
The Fall - Trevor/Hetty, 3K. A 5+1 fic exploring the development of their relationship, with a heart-warming ending.
Crossover: Deep Space Nine/Columbo
☆Just One More Thing, Mr. Garak - Garak and Columbo, 1K. A dialogue-only fic, pitch-perfect in voices, and a delight to read.

An excellent Margaret character study! This vid does a really great job of giving a big-picture overview of Margaret's life, her relationships with other women, her romances, and her connections and frustrations with the doctors she works with.
Lantern bycosmic_llin
Lovely team vid set to a soft acoustic version of Josh Ritter's "Lantern." So full of all my favorite team/friendship moments, gorgeously put together!
I've Got Something To Say bybthump
Hawkeye vs. authority. Hard, fast, painful, and beautifully edited.
