Fic recs in the following fandoms: Arrival, Belle (2013), Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries, The Mentalist and Original works.

Arrival

There is Nothing Permanent: reeby10 (Ian/Louise past, Ian, Louise, Hannah)

Powerful piece from Ian's perspective of their relationship, family and loss.

Belle (2013)

There but by the grace of God: CakeorDeath (Belle/Davinier ER)

Gorgeous and in keeping with the film, and they're such life companions here, and I'm here for that.

Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries

Emily Wilde’s Catalogue of Transgressions: curtaincall (pre-canon pre Emily/Wendell)

So enjoyable, down to the footnotes. Emily so sure and so wrong, and just a really great job with the voices and characterisations, all told.

The Mentalist

Sailors Take Warning: altschmerzes (gen, team, Grace POV, 2.23 missing scenes, longish, teen for trauma)

What a power this had. I loved that the team were all taking care of Jane in their different ways, reflecting their personalities and abilities.

Original Work

Sword, Bead, Shirt, Kingdom: DontStopHerNow (Exasperated King/Kidnapped Princess Who Likes This Kingdom Much Better, mature for not-that-graphic violence)

In which kidnapping, sorry, bride-stealing according to the old laws works out better than one would expect. Characterful fun!

“Organic” Conversation Topics: silveradept (OFC/OMC, tags feature characters’ ADHD, demisexuality, matchmaking in the modern world, and are worth reading in full)

Satisfying read about people who know who they are, mostly, and have decided that honesty is the best policy…
