First recs post of the year. Fic recs in the following fandoms: 1066 And All That, The Avengers (TV), Firefly/Serenity, Inception and Mansfield Park/Piratesof the Caribbean.

( Starts off with funny metafics, a more usual type of fic I rec, a Harry Potter fusion and finally a crossover pairing that really worked for me. Three from the recent Yuletide. )

Final recs post of the year. All fic (none from this year's Yuletide as I've only saved links to read, and it's me. I'm more likely to rec fics that are years old. Oh, one of them is from last year's Yuletide.)

( In the following fandoms: DC Cinematic Universe, Fairy Tales, Harry Potter, Into the Woods and Little Women. )

I feel like I should rec a source before getting to the recs. Cairo Time (2009) is a romantic drama, written and directed by Ruba Nedda, a Canadian of Egyptian descent. Despite being about an emotional affair between a married woman and the friend her husband asks to show her Cairo and look out for her when he can’t join her there (infidelity squick), it reeled me in. There’s a touch of ‘Lost in Translation’ about Juliette (Patricia Clarkson) initially, as she suffers discombobulation on top of empty-nest syndrome and spousal abandonment, but as she gets to know Tareq (Alexander Siddig) and his city, a restrained love story develops. If this sound like something you’d be interested in, it’s well worth hunting down, as I did this summer. (And then I tried to write some fic in response to it, struggled and thought I'd check AO3 and lo and behold, thanks to Yuletide, there was fic.)

I'd normally post about The West Wing today, but the rugby interrupted my viewing schedule (thank you, Scotland). I've written a first draft of my thoughts about the last two eps I watched, but I want to listen to the podcast before I edit and post them. I suppose I should also note that the news about the release of Black Widow doesn't make much difference to me - hopefully, I'll get to see it on DVD at some juncture, like Mulan and WW1984. I was sad to hear that Jessica Walters, who gave us Lucille Bluth, has passed away.


Anyway, here are some fanfiction recs. ( They're in the following fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Possession, The Secret Garden, Star Trek: The Next Generation and Tam Lin (Pamela Dean). )
