Recs!

I liked this stuff, perhaps you'd like to read or watch it too.

Fanfiction and fanvid recs in the following fandoms: Agents of SHIELD; Edge of Tomorrow; Gilmore Girls; Harry Potter; The Martian; New Year's Eve; Northanger Abbey; Pacific Rim; Parks and Receation; Robin Hood (various); The Sapphires; and Speed.

Agents of SHIELD

Passing Grade: valderys Fitzsimmons gen. Pre-series, spoilers for first part of the first season.

Great characterisation and a nicely building fic (to what? That'd be telling).

Edge of Tomorrow

Full Metal March (Cambreadth to the Edge): himundergreen

This vidlet is all about Rita in action and is great.

Gilmore Girls

Piece By Piece: fearlessfan Pre-series, Lorelai-Rory ficlet

Absolutely lovely

Harry Potter

Next Generation Assured: alisanne (Augusta, Neville, Neville/Ginny)

A touching drabble with a nifty bit of magic.

The Martian

like we’re the stars of the human race: singsongsung (Chris Beck/Beth Johanssen)
There’s a sincerity to this that’s really lovely.

Commander Badass: niyalune

This vidlet made me grin in its celebration of Commander Lewis.

MCU

and don't you dare be late: irnan (Peggy/Steve, longish, teen)

In which Peggy comes into the future and has to deal. As much about her in this loud and bright world and what she's lost and gained as the relationship, although that packs an emotional wallop.

Iron Man

Hazard Pay: neonhummingbird (Perri Smith) Teen, action, multi-chap, post IM, gen, pre-Pepper/Tony.

The summary is Pepper is trapped when danger hits closer to home than anyone planned. From the beginning, there's plenty of action and Pepper is great in the midst of it, but what I especially appreciated is how the fic handles Pepper and Tony's feelings after what happened with Stane in the first film.

New Year’s Eve

Happy Holdidays: kalisgirl (Ingrid/Paul)

Delightful story, where Paul takes the idea of celebrating holidays being their thing and runs with it and that becomes the frame for watching their relationship grow.

Northanger Abbey (Harry Potter fusion)

The Mysteries of the Astronomy Tower: metonymy (Catherine/Henry)
This is charming fun, and I could stand to read more Regency-set HP fic or crossovers.

Pacific Rim

Brand New Empire: pyrodynamo (teen, long)

Evocative story of rebuilding and recovery, with lovely Raleigh/Mako.

Parks and Recreation

Bump and Grinding Teeth: nonky (Ben/Leslie, teen, post 3.11)

Leslie drives a drunk Ben home. The reader (and Leslie, to some extent) get his besotted mental digressions – lots of fun.

Robin Hood (2010)

A Simple Bondman: twtd (Marion/Robin)

This is gorgeously written. Top marks for characterisation, sensuality and atmosphere.

Robin Hood (traditional)

Toil and Trouble: waterbby Gen, SPACE AU

Really interesting sci-fi twist on ‘Robin Hood’ – I would enjoy reading more in this world or, predictably, seeing/reading a full-on Robin Hood in Space tale.

The Sapphires

Bury Me Deep In Love: cupidsbow (teen)

I found this a really affecting vid.

Speed

Shut Up and Drive: kaydeefalls

Foregrounds the action and the growing Jack/Annie, which is what I want from a Speed vid.
