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.
Fromseasonsofdrabbles:
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.
Fromficinabox:
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.
