Kat Recs All The Fics - Day 7


Four Weddings And A Funeral

I Thought That Love Would Last Forever (I Was Wrong) - Charles/Matthew. The character voices are absolute spot on and the fic makes its point gently and  without preaching. If you loved the movie, you'll love this fic.



Hot Fuzz

After the Explosion, the Days - Danny/Nicholas. "there was sort-of-knowing and there was knowing-knowing". Nicholas catches up. Sweet and adorable.

DIY For Beginners - Danny/Nicholas. Danny is worried that London, not to mention a charming maler reporter, will tempt Nicholas away from Sandford. Clearly he needs to do something about it. Danny buying sex toys is possibly cuter than it has any right to be.

It's just like that scene in Lethal Weapon, only not
- Danny/Nicholas. Danny is acting strangely and Nicholas needs to do some detecting. Which he does, in his usual effective and methodical manner. This fic made me grin a lot, especially the whole thing about using Riggs and Murtaugh to talk about things without really talking about them.

Long Shot
- Danny/Nicholas. Gloriously awkward and sweet and perfect.



Jeeves and Wooster


Interference Part 1
and Part 2 - Jeeves/Wooster. This fic is kind of shockingly filthy and also more than a little twisted. And yet, even more shockingly, it is still entirely in character. I read half of this from between my fingers but read it I did because... incredibly well done.

Morning Glory
- Jeeves/Wooster. Man, even a handjob makes me blush furiously when it's this fandom and pairing. Bertie is his usual clueless self for all that he is enjoying the benefits of Jeeves' caretaking.

 

Primeval

Friday, I'm In Love - Nick/Stephen (Helen/Nick). There is an appalling lack of good Nick/Stephen fic out there. This one is full of angst and some entirely delicious flirting toward the end.



Sherlock

A Study In Blue
- John/Sherlock. Mmm breathplay and John being all authoritative. Yes please.



The O.C.

Line of Best Fit
- Ryan/Seth. Combination of two of my favourite things: best friends becoming lovers and a university setting. Seth is not running away, he just decides to go to St. Andrews University. Because of the lovely weather there, or something. This is a great read with good original characters and author's love for the setting coming through loud and clear.

I hope you've enjoyed the rec spam this week. I still haven't gone through all my backlog so I might have to do some more binge reccing in the near future. Perhaps you'll endure it?

I haven't had chance to comment on these rec posts you've been making - or read teh recs! But I've been using the lovely 'read it later' feature for teh ones I fancy and I'm excited to read them because I've noticed as I've clicked through that I've already read and loved about a third of your recs, whch makes me happy and excited for the remainder!

I, for one, will always be happy to see more binge reccing!

Oh excellent! I'm glad if my recs help other people to find delicious fics to read. I always knew I had preferences for certain themes in fics and writing styles, but doing the recs for a week straight has really brought that home...

And yes, more binge reccing will definitely happen in the future. Though maybe I'll give it a week or so before spamming my flist again. Or do a couple of longer rec posts.

GIVE ME ALL THE RECS!

Also, Four Weddings and a Funeral fic! <333 So much love. I've been sort of wrapped up in RL and BBB writings, so your recs are totally just the thing I need rn. Thank you!

Hee, I shall endeavour to provide ALL the recs again next week or something.

That's pretty much the only decent fic for that movie I've found, but it is lovely. I'm happy you've enjoyed the recs!

Oh man, there's Hot Fuzz fic? I AM SOLD. Thanks! :D

Okay, so I half want to read the Hot Fuzz fics because they sound good but I half don't want to because, well, I freaking love the relationship they have in the movie and I'm not sure how my mind would take the idea of them getting it on. Dilemma!

Endure? We shall delight in more recs, I have no doubt.

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you read them? I thought those fics were very good at maintaining the movie dynamic and simply taking it just that one step further...

Yay! Your delight is my delight etc. :)

Thank you so much for reccing that Ryan/Seth fic! I may have spent the better part of my evening yesterday reading old OC fic. ;) It's sad, though, that so many old favourites are no longer online. Luckily there appear to be plenty of new ones to discover!

Hee, I remember my utter love for that pairing about once a year and then binge on any old/new fic for a couple of days. Glad to provide happy-making links.
