Recs 5/?

Fanfic and fanvid recs in the following fandoms: The Hour, Little Women (2019 adaptation), Marvel Cinematic Universe and Much Ado About Nothing (1993)2

The Hour

Hour of Ease: OldShrewsburyian (Bel/Freddy, post season 2)
Really well done ficlet as the characters start to process and adjust.

Little Women (2019 adaptation)

Sing to Me in The Dark: caramarie (the March sisters, gen)
Loved the depiction of the sisters' bond here, with so many nuances. It makes an interesting structural choice (oh, Beth), which is apt, given the film adaptation plays with structure too. Truly emotive.

MCU
Iron Man

Little Changes: robot-iconography (pre Pepper/Tony, post Iron Man, 2-parter)
The focus on domestic details as a reflection of his trauma (and to a lesser extent hers) is great, as is the way they reveal more than they know about themselves to each other. The first part is tighter than the second.

U.S.: innerbrat (Steve, ensemble, covers The Incredible Hulk to Captain America: The Winter Soldier by way of Agent Carter and Agents of SHIELD
This fanvid about Steve’s legacy really went deep and far and wide, with Steve and his heart anchoring it. Touching and thought-provoking.

Much Ado About Nothing (1993)

I Want You To Want Me: hartknyx (Beatrice/Benedick, Hero/Claudio)
Such a great match of source and song. I loved the overall energy and how it brings in Claudio and Hero's story and how it influenced Beatrice and Benedick's romance.

I enjoyed the rec for The Hour. Such a shame it wasn't renewed.

I'm glad I could point someone to a good fic! Iagree about 'The Hour', it was such a top-notch show, and there was so much more story to tell about and with these characters.
