A Small War. They've chased each other across battlefields, across borders, across decades. Peggy/Dottie (Agent Carter). Hawt.
Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
Which is more mind-blowing- An AU Crossover Fic of Rainbow Rowell's Carry On and Harry Potter, or one of Carry On and Cassandra Clare? The first is like Inception and the second makes me sad.
So there's this section, “Surrounding the building was a perfectly-manicured lawn punctuated trees and tastefully-cut bushes surrounding its perimeter”,
Which, this is petty, but, to whose taste? There's formal, there's naturalistic, but what is a tastefully hedged shrub? Who's taste? What year? /gardener disassociation.
So LTLJ is posting a Leverage/Stargate crossover, set in the Retrograde universe. Is those words mean anything to you, you will squeak with as much happiness as I just did.
Retrograde is back ????
On a lighter note - a Beatrice-centric Divine comedy fan fiction. (A light X-over with AS You Like It. Dante's Beatrice is also the Beatrice from "As You Like It" and makes journey's through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise comparable to Dante's . This passage from her journey through hell is one of the best in the Fic:
On that farther shore, they set off through a cemetery full of burning crypts. People kept popping out of them and arguing with each other over heresies. Several times Penthesilea held Beatrice back from getting involved. Penthesilea said, "The Trojan war was over love and honour and wealth, and it lasted over ten years."Beatrice gripped her hands and her lips and didn't argue with all the people who were wrong.
You know, sometimes if you're very good, and very patient, and wait a good ten years after the source canon ends, astolat will come along and start writing in a fandom you enjoy. (Harry/Draco, at the moment.)
Dana, I've been enjoying those too, although they're...trope-y, I guess...enough that I'd wondered if they were older fics reposted to AO3. I like them a lot for the skill and the worldbuilding, even though I don't ship canon!Harry/canon!Draco. Reading the one with the gate to the land of the dead, I was half convinced Harry would get through and find Hermione had taken over.
I don't think shipping the pairing is needed to get into her fics. I'm sure not a Wincest fan, but found her SPN stories very enjoyable regardless.
She did lose me for a while with the underage American Idol RPF though. shudder
Was it the underage or the American Idol that lost you?
