shallownessI have workers in doing noisy and messy stuff to the house, so posting recs seemed like a good distraction. They're mainly for fics, but also some fanvids.
Alice (Sy-Fy)
Feeding the Ghost: Random Battlecry (Alice/Hatter)
Charming story in which Charlie visits Hatter and Alice and gets them to tell her story. It's amusing, but not afraid of facing the darkness of the series, as odd as a story featuring Hatter and Charlie should be, but also has its heartfelt moments. (A couple of minor formatting issues.)
Avengers
Iron Man
People Who Know My Sins: atrata (Pepper/Tony, teen)
Pepper tries to ignore the attraction between her and Tony, but it's hard when she also has to deal with the consequences of his being Iron Man. This fic left me wanting to know what happened next! (Also, h/c.)
she's a swell gal, with a gun in her hand: eleanor_lavish (Steve/Natasha)
This is lovely. It does both of them justice, and it's about respect and Steve seeing Natasha.
The Bletchley Circle
We call a man cold when he is only sad: surexit (Susan/Timothy, ficlet)
Extremely satisfying tag to the show.
The Bourne Trilogy
Floating Neither Up Nor Down: seren_ccd (Nicky/Jason)
Really good, sympathetic portrayal of Nicky, after.
Bright Star
much have i travell'd in the realms of gold: vega of the lyre (Fanny/John)
A perfectly captured vignette.
The Brothers Bloom
Ad Astra Per Aspera: novembersmith (Gen. Teen, lang, AU)
A Brothers Bloom origin story that I didn't know I wanted until I read this. By the by, it's set in the distant future, in a planet under different stars.
The Dark Knight Rises
Close to you: gss42x (Bruce/Selina)
Very them vid that charts their relationship adeptly.

YouTube via livejournal
Harry Potter
Touch the Face of the Stars: lyras (Lily-centric gen with background Lily/James.)
Increasingly moving and powerful fic that focuses on Lily's experience of the war.
a wise man and his hand: fated_addiction (James/Lily)
A lovely fic in which a confidence is shared, and deservedly so.
A Natural History: st_aurafina (Post-HBP gen feat. Neville, Luna and Lupin)
Very satisfying standalone story set the summer after Half Blood Prince, with Neville facing up to the war ahead - Luna has a genius anti-Dementor strategy that's so her, and there are many other perfect little details like that to this story.
The Incredibles
Invisistory: silksieve (gen)
This futurefic, where Dash and Vi hang out with Jack(-Jack) on his eighteenth is tremendous fun.
Indiana Jones
like midnight: medie (Marion-centric, Marion/Indiana. Tag to the main events of Crystal Skull)
This vignette has a lovely, just right tone.
OUAT
The Chain: scifi_tv_addict (Ensemble, spoilers up to 2.5)
This vid about how the curse was both destructive AND redemptive for so many of the characters is moving (the end got me close to teary) although I could have done without the tag.
Pitch Perfect
Sugar, We're Going Down: catteo (Gen, background Beca/Jesse among other stuff)
Beca and some others are stuck in a lift...This rang so true to the characters' voices and Beca's likely internal monologue. Engrossing, fun read.
Riddlemaster trilogy/Damarverse crossover
Mountain Time: minnow (deat. Lyra, Luthe and Aerin)
Beautiful and satisfying (although also setting me off to wonder...) crossover.
Sherlock
I Don't Know: humansrsuperior (Ensemble, spoilers up to 2.03)
Brilliant vid. It's fun, it's odd. The clip choices are amazing.
Ugly Betty
Blessing in the Skies: yahtzee63 (Post-finale Daniel/Betty fluff, can be read as in the Mode: Final Issue verse)
This adorableness was written for the prompt 'gift giving,' which gave it an automatic five points from me anyway, but won several more on its own merits.
Winter's Bone
Cross Bone Style: kuwdora
This vid celebrates Ree, the girl with the diamond eyes, powerfully.
Alice (Sy-Fy)
Feeding the Ghost: Random Battlecry (Alice/Hatter)
