Recs 7/?

More fanfiction recs for the following fandoms: Man of Steel, Marvel Cinematic Universe/The West Wing, The Memoirs of Lady Trent, The Night Manager and an original fic rec.

Man of Steel

As Long as Stars Are Above You: Major (Lois/Clark double drabble)

Heartwarming! And every word is perfectly judged.

Marvel Cinematic Universe/The West Wing/(Real Person Fiction)

Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It: Dira Sudis (Steve Rogers, Josh Lyman, gen ficlet)

What a gem. The characterisations are so on point, Steve's objections are valid, and you can already see the tensions that might arise between them, but...what a 'What if' this is.

The Memoirs of Lady Trent

Détente: pendrecarc (gen)

Excellent missing scene I didn't know I needed. Perfect tone, totally in character at this point in proceedings and a joy to see the foundations of Isabella and Tom's partnership being built a little higher.

The Night Manager

Common Mind: withthekeyisking (Jonathan/Jed)

This has such involving characterisation. Given their damage, this feels like a pretty positive aftermath. Or as another commenter said ‘awesome character study, contemplation, future fic.’

Original fic

Nothing Like Fairy Tales: Artemis 1000 (Bloodthirsty Female Warrior/Gentle Male Mage She’s Attempting to Court, teen)

This has a lot of characterful fun with its ‘opposites attract in high fantasy’ setting.
