Kat Recs All The Fics, Round 3 - Day 6

[kat_lair]

British Actor/Comedian (QI) RPF

Deconstruction - Alan Davies/Stephen Fry. Yes, yes you did read that right. Okay, so their QI personas are very slashable and this is a short, rather clever, classy and subtle exploration of the potential relationship.


Glee

The Model Minority (Stereotype A) - Mike/Tina. This is an excellent look at Mike and life with and beyond stereotypes. Written back before the show gave anything approaching backstory or characterisation to Mikey, this fic did it better thant what we eventually got.



Harry Potter

Souvenirs and Lost Luggage - pre-Petunia/OFC, Dudley/Piers. One of the wonderful things about fanfic is how it can flesh out the minor characters canon ignores or caricatures. This is exactly what this story does to Petunia Dursley, or Petunia Evans as she is once more known after leaving Vernon. A wonderful and painfully human story about owning up to your mistakes and faults, and finding the strenght and courage to change.
 

Hawaii Five-0

How to Ruin Your Life in One Easy Step - Danny/Steve. Jealousy + rimming = winning combination. Guh.

In These Arms - Danny/Steve. A sweet future fic in which drunken Grace tells Steve some home truths.

Play a Strong Hand - Danny/Steve, Jenna/Kono. This is a coda for the season 1 finale. Steve is in hiding while his team works to clear his name. Intriguing plot with great interactions between everyone.

Tooth and Clawl - Danny/Steve, AU. In which the whole team are supernatural creatures of some kind, keeping Hawaii's criminal vampire gangs under control. The detail to the science/mythos behind the various supernatural mutations is well thought out. I really enjoyed the world the author has created, though some warning about werewolf sex whilst actually in wolf form would have been appreciated...



How I Met Your Mother

A Series of Completely Unrelated Events - Barney/Ted. I wish there was more fic for this pairing, I really do. Both character voices are spot on and everything feels like it almost could happen in the show...


Sherlock

The Theory Of Narrative Causality - John/Sherlock, AU. Oh man, I do love fandom meta fics. In this Sherlock and John are BNFs in, erm, the Sherlock Holmes fandom. This is hilarious and oh so very true to reality of LJ fandoms.


Sherlock Holmes (2009 Movie)

Things on Fire, Things That Fall - Holmes/Watson. A rather classic style and thorougly enjoyable case-fic with hurt-comfort and reveal of feelings.
