shallownessFics and fanvids in the following fandoms: Arrested Development; The Bletchley Circle; The Blue Castle; ER: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them; The Man from UNCLE (2015); Marvel Cinematic Universe; Pacific Rim and Sense & Sensibiity
Arrested Development
Simpler Times: amrita (Maeby/George Michael) (teen, spoilers for s4)
Such a sympathetic, but clear-eyed view of Maeby. (The POV slips a little at times.)
The Bletchley Circle
You’ve Got the Love: AurumCalendula (ensemble)
I liked how this vid showed the support the circle offered and dealt with why it was needed.
The Blue Castle
not ours to command: tricatulare (Barney/Valancy ficlet, teen)
This is excellent. I love how it teases out Barney's feelings at this point, and does so deftly and with such strong characterisation.
ER
New Favorite: lowriseflare (Neela/Ray, seasons 11 and 12, teen)
Such good, absorbing pure Roomie fic. Set in their flat-sharing days, it has so much realistic detail of nteractions that somehow never made it on screen.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
City Outta Clay: youareiton_andyouarestrong (Tina/Newt ficlet)
Howdy there, Western AU I didn’t know I needed.
The Man from UNCLE (2015)
sleep with fists closed and shoot straight: yourareiron_andyouarestrong (Gaby-centric ficlet)
An excellent and illuminating character study.
Marvel Cinematic Universe
Out of the Machinery: rubynye (Wanda/Vision, post Civil War)
Credible, compelling and moving.
Summary: Tony has a chat, Vision takes a hint, prison really sucks, and Wanda does some thinking.
Iron Man
Red Magic Marker: robot-iconography (Tony/Pepper)
Tony’s thought processes, likes and the banter are A1, even if it didn’t quite go where I expected it to.
Pacific Rim
Weave (the threaded hearts remix): templermarker (Raleigh/Mako)
I liked the details that made this come alive.
Sense & Sensibility
Wherever We Are: silly_cleo (Dashwoods, gen)
So touching, and heart-warming, for all the grief and tensions it shows. Loved the focus on the bedrock of family for them.
