The Lord Peter Wimsey series

Gentle Antidote: x_los

Harriet/Peter, long, AU.

This is monumentally good and enjoyable. This is also, I think, the first time I’ve read this kind of soulbond identifying mark fic, and it’s going to set the standard for any others I read, because the writer has really thought through the implications while capturing the tone of the books and the intelligence and the heart of the characters. I loved the interplay with what happens in the books.

MCU

So What: kaydeefalls

This vid is a great celebration of the women of MCU and all they bring to it.

No Fate: tielan

Maria/Steve, M (see tags/warnings)

I love soulmarks fic where real thought is given to the implications of what it would mean (I've read some more soulbond fics since 'Gentle Antidote' and, um, am not reccing them), and here's one. Riveting Maria, affecting Maria/Steve and enjoyable interaction with the women of the 'verse.

The Mystery of the Blue Train

Trip No More: mardia

Katherine Grey/Derek Kettering

This ficlet is a lovely and satisfying coda to the book (by Agatha Christie, featuring Poirot).

Only Lovers Left Alive

Gravitiation: stella_bella

Adam/Eve, teen, post-movie

This is beautiful. The mood is tangible, tinged with Adam's melancholy, but there's substance too, with the love story that is their relationship - much like the film.

The Outlaws of Sherwood

Romantic Notions: Sanj

Cecily-centric (Cecily/Little John)

Well-thought-out expansion on the book.

Parks and Recreation

may, she will stay: ijemanja

Ben/Leslie, post 3.09

This made me smile so, and alcohol-impaired Leslie’s thought processes are spot on.

POTC

Spitfire: Afterthebattle (fanvid)

Oh, Barbossa, you PIRATE, you.

Romeo + Juliet

Can't Stop: bradcpu

I like how the frenetic tone works with the source and song, but is very much under control and how the movie's iconography and play's text are counterbalanced by the characters' faces.

Sherlock (crossover with Harry Potter)

The Case of the Unwanted Owl: pandarus

(gen, long, teen for language, Jossed since written)

Really enjoyable, well-constructed crossover. Poor, put-upon John, having a whale of a time.

Although that wasn't even the weirdest thing to happen this week, let alone this month.

Star Trek XI/Firefly

Symmetry in Orbit: betweenthebliss

A really endearing fic about Pavel getting to know River at the Starfleet Academy.

Star Trek: The Next Generation

London: cosmic_llin

Troi and Riker (with slight Troi/Riker) longish

This vivid story is very much in the spirit of the show.

Strictly Ballroom

And I don’t know if I’m dreaming: seren_ccd

Fran/Scott

This is so in keeping with the film - it emanates warmth like Fran and Strictly Ballroom itself.

Twister

Storm Song: trelkez

(Jo/Storms/Bill)

There’s an intensity and tenderness to this vid.
