Various recs from various fandoms. Not comprehensive at all. Or even close. Updated from my del.icio.us bookmarks.
- The Journey West (American Gods) - monkey. monkey comes to america.
- Tiger Beaten - george michael joins a band. really, really funny.
- The Lion, The Witch and the Chevrolet Equinox (Top Gear/Narnia) - the boys get recruited by aslan. it's utterly hilarious and the voices are perfect.
- What Is And What Seems To Be - guinevere. recced everywhere, but pretty damn badass. i like how competent and sharp everyone in this is.
- I'll Find You In The Morning Sun (Angels In America) - prior. moving on and finding his own sort of peace. i love the hope in this, and all of the characters are written wonderfully.
- Gift That Keeps Giving (Iron Man) - tony and rhodey. tony gives rhodey a fairly decent gift. i love the relationship between the two of them here.
- Swimming (Bourne movies) - jason. a great character study that uses its central image very effectively.
- youth: a heartbreakingly schmoopy work of staggering genius (Oceans movies) - danny and rusty. great details and excellent voices.
- The Waters Are Rising (Study In Emerald) - homes and watson meeting for the first time. i just love the way the world is constructed here and the holmes voice.
- A Place Called Home (Doctor Who) - martha in 1913. a vivid look at her time there. excellently drawn and oh so beautiful.
- memory, other (Dune) - paul. great voices and a good preservation of the dune feel, which is not easy at all.
- Certain Dark Things (Bourne series) - jason/marie. i have such a weakness for this pairing, and this is so wonderfully restrained the way they are.
- Lodestone (Batman Begins) - gordon. it's so very gordon. filled with excellent details.
- Unidentified (Stargate Atlantis) - mckay/sheppard. heartbreaking and hopeful, rodney gets a new start.
- Occupational Hazard (Casino Royale) - bond/villiers. i admit that this is mostly because i have a giant crush on tobias menzies, but both bond and villiers are well characterized, and their relationship is complex.
So, the del.icio.us feed doesn't produce them all. The rest can be found here: http://del.icio.us/thedeadparrot/recs.
