Copied from my journal:

From [community profile] trickortreatex:

Jeeves and Wooster:
Jeeves Coshes Death on the Noggin - 1.2K, T, Bertie and Jeeves

Bertie appears to be dead, despite his protests to the contrary. A wonderfully written fic, excellent voice, good laughs all the way through.

From [community profile] seasonsofdrabbles:

Original Work:
clandestine coffee - 200, G, gen

Sweet double drabble of an angel enjoying an autumn day.

Asante's Vigil - 100, G, gen

Protective gorilla bonding with her child.


From [community profile] ficinabox:
Original Work:
Art:
better kept in secret - G, pirate captain/navy captain nemesis

Lovely colors and movement in this piece. Reminds me of 18th century illustrations, which is very fitting for the characters.

Tiny Witch With a Tiny Familiar - G, fairy witch

An autumn witch in mixed media, pressed leaves for the most part. Very nicely done and well shaped.

Fic:
Elder - 1K, NR, superheroes and villains

Good worldbuilding in a small space, interesting characters, some nice humor.

Palaces out of Paragraphs - 1K, NR, Crown Princess Who Was a Writer/ Faraway King Who Loves Her Books

A very lovely epistolary exchange of two people hiding their identities but making a connection over a shared love for books.

per my last email - 2.4K, G, IT Guy & Sentient Printers He Cares For

There were several works made with this premise but this was my favorite of the lot. The printers were such adorable characters in themselves (be sure to use a converter for their binary email subjects), and the people around them cared so much! Delightful.

PATAGONIA, 202X - 18K, M Angel Carcass Fallen From the Sky & Scientists Studying It

Wonderfully creepy and explorative. I love all the questions this brought not only for the readers but for the characters.

All The Old Paintings On The Tomb - 6K, T, Disposable Supervillain Grunt Squad & Squad Leader Trying To Keep Them Alive

This was fantastic! My favorite episode of any long-running TV show is always the lab rat/squintern episode, where we see the daily life of the secondary characters, and this had so much of that feel to it. Absolutely enjoyed this.

Star Trek:
IDIC - 65, G, poetry

Several haiku on the destruction of Vulcan. Beautifully crafted.

Denorios Belt Briefs - 1K, NR, Deep Space Nine crew, Jake Sisko

News briefs and bits of interest as written by Jake Sisko. Fun and amusing!

Bones:
Adoption Day - 1.4K, G, Jack Hodgins/Angela Montenegro

Jack and Angela adopt rats, and it is adorable how they prepare for them. Plus the names are spot on.

Downton Abbey:
Trading Favours - 2.1K, G, Thomas and Anna

Pre-canon, Anna catches Thomas at something he's not supposed to be doing (what else is new XD ) and they come to an arrangement. Keeps Thomas' bite without making him horrible, displays Anna's cleverness well.

  1. Murder on the beat by mother_of_lions. ""Captain's log. It's been thirty-five days since the initial Attack." A sigh crackles over the aging recording. "It's been five days since another of Them attacked. We don't know how long they've been on the ship. They could be anyone. Your crew mate, your friend." A Merlin AU mystery unspooled bit by bit, which could have been a much bigger story but is nevertheless alarming and intriguing as some alliances never change.

  2. Halo Effect by Alex51324. "The Halo Effect is the tendency for a positive impression in one area to produce a more generous or optimistic interpretation of ambiguous information in other areas. When Thomas rescues Lady Mary from the nefarious attentions of Turkish houseguest Kemal Pamuk, his employers and coworkers begin to see him differently...and Things Get Better." Downton Abbey S1 AU that does well with its period setting and goes on to a much longer sequel set during WWI.

  3. Next Time Around by LamentableComedy. "Several months after breaking up, Merlin and Arthur try to be friends while navigating family relationships, figuring out what they want from their lives, and trying to learn from the past."

    I really enjoyed the way they slowly fell back into one another's orbit and each were going through their own things in a non high-drama way. There was something bittersweet about the way their old lives were slowly breaking apart as people headed in different directions that was so true to life.

  4. BBC Merlin by Arden. She has some very nice sketches but my favorite was the painting of Arthur and Merlin riding to Camelot, hands linked.

  5. How to Win a Debate in Thirteen Easy Steps by junkshopdisco. "Time is running out for the United Albionists to field a candidate to stand for election against Morgause’s harsh regime. It falls to Merlin to find someone. Arthur Pendragon—a lawyer with an impressive streak of magical and worker’s rights victories against the government—seems to fit the bill. Only problem is, the last time Merlin saw him, Arthur had him fired for beating his sister Morgana in a debate." Not many stories exist in a political setting and even fewer do anything to really mine that premise. But this story is about an actual campaign, as well as a Merlin/Morgana aspect that doesn't go as planned.
