shallownessThe first recs post of the year, feels like it's late, mainly because I've read a few multi-chaptered fics that were enjoyable enough if not worth reccing. Fic recs in the following fandoms: The Ballad of Wallis Island, Brooklyn Nine-Nine/Marvel Cinematic Universe crossover, Fairy Tales (Little Red Riding Hood), Veronica Mars, Vicky Bliss and The West Wing.
The Ballad of Wallis Island
Something to sing about: hardlygolden (post-movie gen, Herb, Charles)
Delighted that this fic exists, that it's captures Charles's voice and the back and forth, and that Herb really is still in a much better place. (The use of the spelling ‘program’ bugged me somewhat.)
Brooklyn Nine-Nine/Marvel Cinematic Universe
Our lips are sealed: Nokomis (the B99 gang, Captain America, Black Widow, Falcon, Gina/Steve, Amy/Jake)
What if Steve moved in next door to Gina?
This was so funny - Boyle, in particular, made me laugh out loud repeatedly. The voices are so spot on. It's a peach of a fic.
Little Red Riding Hood
Red In Tooth and Claw: coaldustcanary (gen, drabble, Little Red Riding Hood, Little Red Riding Hood’s Grandmother)
Every word counts, just as it should in a drabble, and where it ends up feels inevitable.
Veronica Mars
calculus of a single variable: youcallitwinter (post season 3, Veronica/Logan, Piz/Veronica, Logan/OFC)
The language is so like the show and so great. There's snark to mask feelings that come out anyway, and people calling out Veronica’s failings and loving her anyway, and so many spot-on, telling details - loved it.
Vicky Bliss
Contrapunctus Inversus: mayhap (Vicky/John, AU)
Fun reversals, but the tone, banter and characters are still the same - a delight.
The West Wing
With sails unfurled: ephemeralblossom (Ainsley, Sam, ficlet)
‘[They] seem to run the entire country on Jed Bartlet and C.J. Cregg’s charm, Josh Lyman’s bravado, Toby Ziegler’s surly eloquence, and Leo McGarry’s elbow grease.’
Love, love, love Ainsley's POV of all this.
