beatrice_otter: Elizabeth Bennet reads (Reading)
[personal profile] beatrice_otter
There is a Fic Rec meme going around, which asks people to rec fics in twelve categories (Angst, AU, Canon Divergence, Crossover, Fixit, Fluff, Humor, Hurt/Comfort, Missing Scene, Post/Pre-Canon, Songfic, Whump).

I posted my rec list here, with fics from batman, Silmarillion, rivers of london, star trek enterprise, babylon 5, lilo and stitch, captain America, black panther, moon knight, big hero 6, and the martian fandoms.
yourlibrarian: Finn Running (SW-Finn Running-iwillnotdance.png)
[personal profile] yourlibrarian

  1. Standing in the Way of Control by Trelkez. Beautiful looking Star Wars vid that ties things together so nicely across generations. Of struggles, victories and losses.


  2. Steve Rogers: PR Disaster by idiopathicsmile. "The Story of Steve “Walking PR Nightmare” Rogers, and How For a Short While He Single-Handedly Destroyed the Emotional Health of Eva Laura Ortiz, His Now Ex-Publicist." As intriguing for a look at how things have changed for us less than we think, as it is funny to see happen to someone else.


  3. That Don't Impress Me Much by hexenmeister. Even though I have only seen a few episodes of The West Wing, C.J. Cregg's personality comes across quite clearly. And I think someone would be hard pressed to make a better vid for her than this one.


  4. Running Away From Home by atamascolily. "Finn learns to stop running away from and start running to." Wonderful look at Finn's journey and an excellent choice of musical track.


  5. to treat everything as if it were a nail by thingswithteeth. "Jyn Erso is raised as a hostage of the Empire. It matters less than it should. There are many different ways to rebel." I loved reading a different arc to Jyn's story, one which builds slowly but with more hopeful developments.

Summary:

On the other side of the moment, those turned to dust may no longer be 'alive', but they're damn well not helpless.

This is the story of how they saved themselves.
 

Reccer's notes: I started following tielan over a decade ago back in the Stargate fandom, because she is a great author who is especially good at writing female characters and consistently focusing on them. This fic is one of my favorites, it is an amazing response to the mess that is Marvel canon. It's a very different take than other Endgame AUs, but it is masterfully well done and if you like any of the characters who got snapped, you'll probably love this fic.

beatrice_otter: OMGWTFBBQ!  Hector dies in book 22!  Spoilers! (Spoilers)

yourlibrarian: Gwen Over Shoulder (MERL-GwenOverShoulder-ella_rose88)
[personal profile] yourlibrarian

  1. Reprise Series by Elfpen. Star Wars first trilogy. As much as I enjoy time travel as a story type, I have found there is such a thing as too many of them. So what I really enjoyed about this one is the way it defies expectations.

    So many time travel stories are fixits which focus heavily on changing key issues in a timeline. I suspect many a reader feels like Mace does, wondering when Ben will give up his secrets and set new pathways in motion. But I really enjoyed seeing that Ben himself needs help in reconciling himself to this role he's been put in, and healing the damage of the past. And I also really loved how his mission dovetailed with getting a new future in motion. An intriguing read that's all about character development and a reminder that when someone returns to the past, a new future is already in motion and extreme caution is needed.

  2. Gwen's Guide to Happiness by jules_evan (julien_avec_rien). "Gwen's fine. Well, she's okay. She could be happier, in her own opinion. But how does one go about getting happier? Fortunately, she has lots of friends to whom she can pose her question: what's the secret to happiness?" Pretty much what it says on the tin. Yet this fic was wonderfully unusual in its thoughtful approach to the question, matching points of view with the various characters, and being very true to Gwen's character as well. Also, a Merlin fic centered on Gwen! Not to be overlooked.

  3. A Chorus of Ordinary Women by kalima, Star Trek Kelvin verse exploration of how things on Hellguard might have turned out differently. Rather tough subject matter and I skipped ahead in one place, but nonetheless rewarding read with both many OCs and a lot of focus on Spock/Uhura. I think the Epilogue proves how connected one becomes to the new characters.

  4. when you wake by sevenfoxes. Captain America.MCU. Time loops are a favorite trope for me, which means I particularly appreciate it when someone does something different with it. Extended ones are a variation for longer stories but I had yet to run into one where the resets might occur at different points in time instead of the same one. It made the story more of a roads-not-traveled sort of tale than one about correcting particular mistakes. And I loved the ending.

  5. when you make it seem, enchanted by somethingaboutwriting. "In a black-and-white television show with a ridiculously small audience, Merlin reunites with his fiancé Arthur Pendragon in the 1950s. This is completely normal, and has nothing to do with how long Merlin has had to wait for the Once and Future King to return. WandaVision AU" Once I read it, it surprised me that I hadn't already thought about how perfectly the series premise would lend itself to an Arthur returns fic.

Hey all! First, I just want to give a huge shout out to everyone who participated in Rectember. Thank you to all the people who recced, the people who commented on the recs posts, and the people who followed the recs and found new fanworks to enjoy. If you didn't get around to posting all the recs you intended, never fear, themed recs are always welcome to be posted to the comm at any time, no excuse necessary. :) And if you want to look at the themes again, you can find them all here.

I'm just really pleased to see so many folks get a little more comfortable with posting recs here. I saw a lot of new names, yay. Now that you're in the habit, feel free to post recs to the comm anytime. ;) If you have a theme of your own or just a single rec to share, you are always welcome to post them to the comm!

I will probably do a pop-up recs week every few months, just for something different. If you really liked that style of reccing and would like to do it more often, you should check out [community profile] fancake, a reccing comm that has a theme every month.

In the Shadows of Tall Buildings -- by SorchaR, Kings TV series. Technically it's only over 50,000 words if the whole series is included, but the first story is over 40,000 words, so I hope it's not too much of a cheat. It's David/Jack and takes place after the end of the series. Jack shows up at David's family farm having escaped from Silas house arrest. It goes on from there.

The Fool in the Mirror -- by thepinupchemist, Marvel Film Universe. It's Steve/Bucky. Definitely an AU. It's also A/B/O. It deals with depression and suicidal ideation in Steve Rogers, so heed the warnings. As someone who's worked a suicide hotline, I think it's pretty accurate. It's over 100,000 words.

No Misunderstandings -- by eretria, Marvel Film Universe, Peggy Carter during the war. There's Steve and Bucky, too. Beautifully written and 66,000+ words.

Single Use Weapon -- by Fahye, Kings TV series. Another after the end of the series story. Another David/Jack. It shows Jack in an intriguing light.

So when I was choosing fics to rec for this theme, I wasn't paying attention to any overall themes that were occurring. But now that I have compiled the list, I have realised that they all follow the same theme, which is domestic & emotional intimacy. There's also lots of sexual intimacy but the domestic intimacy really stands out.

So if you like Steve/Bucky (because I am still on that train) and love domestic intimacy then boy, do I have a list for you.

8x Recs behind a cut because apparently I rambled on about them... )
