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?

Kat Recs All The Fics - Day 3



Hawaii Five-0


As The Night Caves In - Danny/Steve, implied Chin/Kono. Oh, oh my heart. This takes some familiar fandom tropes (case, abduction, stakeouts, h/c, nightmares...) and produces a story so effortless, so full of emotional resonance that you're just swept along. Steve has issues but things are ultimately much easier than he expected. A lovely, lovely read from an author who consistently delivers excellent fics.

Be My Valentine
- Danny/Steve. Short and utterly happy-making. Steve gets a Valentine's Day card from someone special.

Enough, Already - Danny/Steve. A spine-tingling coda to 1.15. Danny has a point to make.

Reciprocity - Danny/Steve. Steve needs to learn to take a hint. Nngghh tummy-clenching ust.

Smooth
- Danny/Steve. Ah, shaving fic. Utterly satisfying.



Jeeves & Wooster


Misplaced - Jeeves/Wooster. Man, I envy writers who can pull of Wodehouse's distinctive style. This is just delightful and perfectly in character. Bertie and Jeeves seem to both have lost something... intangible.



Lewis

Every Purpose Under Heaven
  - Hathaway/Lewis. James helps Robbie clean his late mother-in-law's house. I loved the slow, almost dream-like atmosphere of this; past flowing into future.

Though This Be Madness - Hathaway/Lewis. My face! It is all :DDDDDDD after reading this. Oh precious, precious boys. This is just lovely: a partnership in five acts.



Merlin

and i am alive
- Arthur/Merlin, Gwen/Morgana, AU. Band!AU! Guys, guys, it's a band!AU! And it's not just a fic, it's a multimedia experience with some gorgeous artwork and an album and... gah, look, 'emotion conveyed through songs' is like one of my favourite fic tropes ever and this plays right into it (pro tip: making me a mix-cd is a surefire way to my pants heart). Also, Merlin as an emo band boy is never not awesome.

No Business Like Show Business
- Arthur/Merlin, Gwen/Morgana, AU. The one where Arthur and Merlin are voice actors for the gayest (and tragically fictional) animated series ever (about dragons, naturally). This is just delightful with all the ust and messages on post-it notes and convention panels with awkward fan questions and... not enough heart-eyes in the world - go read already.

Memeage or Yes I'm Still Alive

This seemed like fun.

Comment, and I will name you 3 interests from your list, and 3 userpics and you explain them in your own post asking the same of your flisters.

Snatched from [personal profile] wiccanslyr, who asked about Green Wing, Jeeves and Wooster, tree!porn, and Wincest. And because she wanted to know about four interests, she only selected two userpics. My explanations can be found...
